A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin, upper lip, cheeks and neck of human beings. Usually, only pubescent or adult males are able to grow beards. However, women with hirsutism may develop a beard. When differentiating between upper and lower facial hair, a beard specifically includes the moustache, which refers to hair above and around the upper lip.
Over the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom, sexual virility, masculinity, or a higher status; although beards may also be perceived to be associated with a lack of general cleanliness and a loss of refinement.
The beard develops during puberty. Beard growth is linked to stimulation of hair follicles in the area by dihydrotestosterone, which continues to affect beard growth after puberty. Hair follicles from different areas vary in what hormones they are stimulated or inhibited by; dihydrotestostorone also promotes balding. Dihydrotestosterone is produced from testosterone, the levels of which vary with season; thus beards grow faster in summer.

Plot: Long Islanders Sal, Terry, Nate, and Lina are childhood friends who grew up in post 9/11 New York, graduated high school at the peak of the War on Terror, and began adulthood amidst a global financial crisis. Now at the crossroads of their mid-twenties they find themselves unhappy with their places in life. Carefree Terry finds himself in trouble with the law as a result of a DWI arrest, forcing him to do community service with Kelly, a promiscuous classmate from high school. Sanitation worker Sal lives with his unwitting wife Meghan in an apartment by the beach, but as they struggle to start a family he begins to yearn for the life he had as a teen. Nate has a bachelor's degree in communications but works as a bartender at his Uncle Sean's pirate-themed pub, where he quenches the thirst of countless barflies and occasionally takes a crack at finding love. Longing for a new beginning as she continues to mourn the loss of her father who died in the attacks of September 11th, 2001, Lina ends her nine year relationship with Eric, a recent law school graduate with mounds of student debt, and moves to New York City. Meanwhile Eric, coping with the disruption of comfort that an almost decade-long relationship provides, seeks new romance in Christine, a fiscally secure hair salon owner with no college education. Equal parts provoking, routine, and juvenile, these lives intertwine over the course of a year as they struggle with adult responsibility, love loss, and the aftermath Hurricane Sandy, ultimately pushing each others lives forward while remaining stagnant on Long Island.

Plot: At Treccabyte Tower, five people are working at the weekend: The CEO Mr Floss; his head of legal affairs Mrs Peters; her assistant Joyce; the security guard Dan and the janitor Ramon. Five people who barely know each other, though they see each other every day. Mr Floss is bored but has just split up with his girlfriend and has nowhere to go. The recently-divorced Mrs Peters is frustrated that she never sees her daughter while she's awake, and someone seems to have stolen her favourite mug. Joyce is terrified of her boss, and can't seem to get her psychiatrist Dr Lexington on the phone. Dan keeps finding that all the chairs in the office are being stolen, and he's convinced that Ramon is the culprit. What none of them realise is that Dr Lexington has arranged for them all to be implanted with a new, experimental microchip, "Splinter", which allows their deepest thoughts to be accessed by a computer genius and displayed to the project's mysterious backers. From a secret location somewhere underground, the team witness as the Splinter shows not merely what the five human guinea-pigs see, but also their deepest subconscious thoughts.

Genres: Comedy,Feel like I am gonna crash
Wonder if your brother felt it too
That's why he flew
Feel like I am gonna crash
Wonder if you veil me in the wings
That's why he sings
Feel like I am gonna curl
Wonder if the freighter's in the wide
That's why he died
That's why he died
I wished on a star that I saw
I wished on a dream
I wished on your face in the snow
I wished on the sea
I wished on a life that I had
I wished it away
I'm glad that I suffered with you
I'm glad that I stayed
I lost in a vehicle on rise
I rose up on wings
I stayed on the floor till I sank
And you let me in
I'll worry myself to the grave
I worry too much
I wish I'd been born without wings
