David Yurman
|New York, New York, United States
|Key people
|David Yurman, Co-Founder
Sybil Yurman, Co-Founder
|$450 million (2007)
|This appears to be written like an advertisement. (June 2014)
David Yurman Inc. is a privately held American designer jewelry company[1] founded by David Yurman (born October 12, 1942 in New York City) and Sybil Yurman (born December 10, 1942 in New York City) and headquartered in New York City.[2] There are currently 24 David Yurman boutiques in North America and five international boutiques.
Evolution of an Artist[edit]
David Yurman grew up on Long Island, New York. At age 16, he met Cuban welder and sculptor Ernesto Gonzales who taught him the direct welding techniques that inform Yurman's work today. After a year at New York University, David left college and spent the next five years hitchhiking between Greenwich Village, Venice, and Big Sur, immersing himself in the Beatnik and San Francisco Renaissance cultural movements. In the early 1960s, David apprenticed for several years with modernist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz.[3] He also established his own studio in Greenwich Village and worked for various sculptors, including Theodore Roszak. In the late 1960s, David became the shop foreman for sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp and it was in this studio that David met the painter Sybil Kleinrock, his future wife and business partner. Artistically, this was an exploratory time for David, when he experimented with many different materials and honed his craft.
Birth of a Brand[edit]
In the early 1970s, David and Sybil moved to Carmel in upstate New York and formed a company called Putnam Art Works,[4] which specialized in sculptural jewelry. Throughout the next decade, David and Sybil exhibited their jewelry designs, sculptures, and paintings at various galleries and craft fairs. They became key figures in the American Craft Movement.[5] Through Putnam Art Works, the Yurmans learned the marketplace for fine crafts and artisanal jewelry. They married in 1979 and founded the David Yurman company a year later, with Sybil Yurman acting as a co-creator and collaborator in all facets of the business. Their son, Evan Yurman, was born on January 31, 1982. In 1987, David Yurman debuted his jewelry designs at the World Watch and Jewelry Show in Basel, Switzerland, the world's largest and most important jewelry and watch show. This appearance symbolized the world-class status achieved by the David Yurman brand after just seven years in existence. David Yurman became a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1999.
During the 1980s and 1990s, the David Yurman company was at the forefront of the emerging category of American designer jewelry. In 1977, David was chosen as one of twelve jewelers to exhibit at the first New Designer Gallery at the Jewelers of America show in New York City, now recognized as a pivotal moment when traditional artisans connected with established merchandisers.[6] David and Sybil approached jewelry design as artists, creating thematic pieces that would be all shown together as collections. The David Yurman company was one of the first jewelry design houses to be known as a "brand" with its own devoted following. During a time when more working women were beginning to purchase jewelry for themselves, rather than waiting to be given a piece of jewelry, customers "collected" David Yurman jewelry as you would collect pieces of art.
In 2003, Evan Yurman joined the company, and in 2004 he became Design Director of the Men's Collection. In 2009, he launched an exclusive collection of high jewelry and began overseeing the company's Bridal Collection, launched in 2005.
Creation of Cable[edit]
In 1982, Yurman introduced what became his signature piece, the cable bracelet: a twisted helix adorned with gemstones on its end caps. He called the bracelet and related designs "Renaissance," and it has become one of his most enduring collections. His cable design evolved to become the thread that connects all of his collections.
Innovation in Design[edit]
David Yurman creates collections in sterling silver and gold, and is particularly recognized for his mixed metal designs. Many sterling pieces have pavé diamonds—in fact, he was the first major jeweler to set diamonds in silver. He calls this category Silver Ice, and it was revolutionary in making diamonds an everyday luxury. David Yurman is also known for inventive stone cuts, most notably the cushion cut for the Albion Collection. The men's division, one of the fastest growing parts of the business, is known for featuring non-traditional materials such as titanium, carbon fiber, and meteorite.
An Advertising Revolution[edit]
In 2000, David and Sybil Yurman hired the David Lipman advertising agency and photographer Peter Lindbergh for their first advertising campaign that was shot in St. Barts with Amber Valletta as the face of the brand. It was a lifestyle campaign, rather than a product-driven one, and it communicated that jewelry could be an emotional experience for the wearer. In the following years, many prominent supermodels such as Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, and Kate Upton have also appeared in iconic David Yurman advertising campaigns.
Honors and Awards[edit]
1980 - Intergold Award from the World Gold Council for a gold wire and diamond necklace design that was the forerunner of the iconic cable motif
1981 - Designer of the Year from the Cultured Pearl Associations of America and Japan for innovative use of pearls
2003 - Star Gazer award from Fashion Group International
2004 - Lifetime Achievement Award at the JIC Gem Awards
2007 - Style Etoile Award from Savannah College of Art and Design
2011 - Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Gem Society, the first time a jewelry designer received this award
2013 – Couture Human Spirit Award from the Couture Show
2013 - Annual Visionaries! Award from the Museum of Arts and Design
Giving Back[edit]
The Yurmans formalized a lifelong commitment to charitable causes by establishing the David & Sybil Yurman Humanitarian and Arts Foundation in 2001.[7] The foundation presents David Yurman Angel Awards to individuals who support charities and the arts through their donations and volunteerism. Past recipients include Steven Spielberg, Elton John, and Leonard Slatkin. The foundation also provides support for a variety of charitable initiatives, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Studio In a School, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. David Yurman also created a pin for the Silver Shield Foundation benefiting the families of New York City firefighters and policemen.

Vegan AtitlanPosted on 08 / 14 / 2013
I believed that it was going to be almost impossible to maintain my diet while in Guatemala. However, Las Lagartijas saved me during my visit to Santiago Atitlan. They went out of their way to cater to my needs, even assisting me with non-food related matters.
One usually has to be very careful about eating raw fruits and vegetables in a developing country, but it was not an issue at Las Lagartijas due to the preparatory care that was taken. They offer "Tipico" options, as well as non-traditional products.Pros: Tasty, Friendly
Cons: Hours of Operation

Saigon - Aye, Aye, Aye
Artist: Saigon
Producer: Buckwild
Album: Warning Shots 2
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 11 total votes )
Perhaps the most widely-used vocal sound effect in hip-hop is "aye!" Popularized by Juelz Santana, the interjection was ruined for many by its high-pitched repetition on nearly every track featuring OJ da Juiceman. Now, though, one of hip-hop's most underrated MCs has taken it upon himself to save that long vowel sound. This new street single finds Saigon at his most aggressive, flowing over a vintage NYC-style beat by Buckwild as he asks the DJ to play that Aye Aye Aye. Whether the request will be accepted or denied depends on who you ask; though radio DJs might be unwilling to spin the part where Sai spits "...tear your f*ckin' head off," the Booth's resident DJs will undoubtedly pick up the slack and give this track the rotation it deserves. Those craving some more new Saigon won't have to wait long—with the September 29th release of Warning Shots 2, the Booth favorite will finally be able to say he's gotten a CD onto store shelves.

In [[Performer~P81388~Richard Benjamin~richardbenjamin]]'s directorial debut, [[Performer~P42587~Mark Linn-Baker~marklinnbaker]] stars as Benjy Stone, junior writer on the popular 1950s TV comedy/variety series The King Kaiser Show. Kaiser ([[Performer~P7154~Joseph Bologna~josephbologna]])'s guest star this week is Hollywood matinee idol Alan Swann ([[Performer~P53681~Peter O'Toole~peterotoole]]), a swashbuckling [[Performer~P90030~Errol Flynn~errolflynn]] type, right down to his indiscriminate womanizing and fondness for mass quantities of booze. Stone is assigned to keep the actor out of trouble during rehearsals and deliver him sober to the performance. Becoming fast friends, Stone and Swann alternate baby-sitting responsibilities: Swann takes the young writer to the Stork Club and on an early-morning jaunt through Central Park with a "borrowed" police horse, while Stone takes Swann to his home, where the star is fawned over by Benji's mom ([[Performer~P37216~Lainie Kazan~lainiekazan]]) and asked embarrassing questions about his love life by Uncle Morty ([[Performer~P34896~Lou Jacobi~loujacobi]]). Despite a few anxious moments, all goes well until Swann, panicking at the discovery that King Kaiser's show will be telecast live and not on film, walks out just before airtime. Shamed by Benjy into honoring his committment, Swann makes a spectacular, timber-smashing entrance, saving the show and rescuing Kaiser from being rubbed out by a gangster ([[Performer~P49649~Cameron Mitchell~cameronmitchell]]) whom the comedian has offended. The film co-stars [[Performer~P30518~Jessica Harper~jessicaharper]], [[Performer~P68812~Gloria Stuart~gloriastuart]] and [[Performer~P19028~Selma Diamond~selmadiamond]], a real-life comedy writer for [[Performer~P10145~Sid Caesar~sidcaesar]]. My Favorite Year was converted into an unsuccessful Broadway musical in the early 1990s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

DEFINITIVELY Defining Christian Fiction
If you go to college and take a class on women's literature, you will read books written by women. If you take one on African-American literature, you will read books written by African-Americans. If you take a course on Gay and Lesbian literature, the books you will read have Gay and/or Lesbian authors. Latino literature, Latino authors, Jewish literature, Jewish authors, Asian literature, Asian authors, and so on down the line.
So: Christian fiction is fiction written by Christians. That's easy enough--- and it's something those outside the Christian community can figure out without a net.
Except for the bit 'what is a Christian?' My proposed definition is that a Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. Specifically one that is following Jesus Christ right now, not one that went to Sunday School 13 times at age seven and hasn't been near a church, Bible or rosary since.
Since there are, sadly, atheist Marxists who claim to know about some Marxist revolutionary Jesus, we need to say a bit about the Jesus we Christians follow. He is the Jesus spoken of in the proto-creed of 1 Cor. 15:3-5: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures, and that he was see of Cephas, and of the twelve." (KJV translation)
So, yes, this broadens Christian fiction to include the majority of those who call themselves followers of Jesus, including Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons, liberal Christians, and excluding only those who believe in some other Jesus, such as the Marxist atheist Jesus, and the non-resurrected mere-human Jesus who was just a good morals teacher.
This does not mean that all of this broadly-defined Christian fiction will be welcome at every Evangelical publishing house. By the same token, there are books by women which will never be found at a women's book store because of lack of feminist content. Publishers and booksellers are free to develop their own, narrower categories. Readers of Christian fiction will also have their own selection criteria.
Where the definition matters is for things like lists of Christian fiction in certain genres, or things like the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy blog tour. When we are using the broad definition of Christian fiction, we use the word 'Christian'. If what we really mean is Evangelical fiction or Catholic fiction or LDS (Mormon) fiction, we should indicate that plainly.
So that is my definitive definition of Christian fiction. What do you think about it?
1 comment:
- Lisa Nicholas said...
Pretty good definition, but if I were using this term, I would mean something a little more pointed -- not simply fiction written by someone who happens to be Christian, but fiction that is somehow illuminated by a Christian understanding of the world and our place in it (even, or especially, when lacking specific Christian references).
"Self evident," do you say? Actually, I don't think so. There are plenty of writers-who-are-Christians who write tales (usually "genre fiction") that are indistinguishable from similar ones penned by non-believing authors -- without ever letting a Christian worldview creep in. Not in the choices and motivations of their characters, not in the way human experience is described or treated, or any other way. I'm sure most do this unthinkingly -- our culture has so conditioned us to think that all things religious are "merely" private and personal and have no place in works intended for a general audience.
I think this is a problem. Maybe we don't have to preach to the world, but we should at least let our readers glimpse a view of life that is lit from within by a divine presence. That's what I want to do, anyway.

Is a little sunshine all we need? On the impact of sunshine regulation on profits, productivity and prices in the Dutch drinking water sector
AbstractThis paper analyzes the conduct of publicly owned monopolistic utilities regulated by a voluntary sunshine regulatory model (i.e. publication of the performances of utilities). In particular, we examine the behaviour of Dutch drinking water utilities before and after the introduction of the sunshine regulation. As during the period 1992-2006 several alternative regulatory reforms including privatization, yardstick competition and profit regulation were also seriously considered, we examine how the discussion and possible implementation of these reforms influenced the behaviour of the utilities. By decomposing profit change into its economic drivers (quantity effect, price effect, operating efficiency, technical progress, scale, etc.), our results suggest that in an appropriate political and institutional context, sunshine regulation can be an effective and appropriate mean of insuring that publicly organised services are efficiently and profitably provided. In methodological terms, the profit decomposition is extended to robust (i.e. allowing for stochastic elements) and conditional (i.e. accounting for heterogeneity) non-parametric efficiency measures.

To all relatives of the fallen and the Worcester firefighting community,
My family has resided in Worcester for the past 60 years. This tragic accident has certainly left all our hearts saddened and overcome with such grief. Watching the news every day and seeing incidents that happen all over the world, you never really think that it could happen here. It certainly has hit home!! I do commend all the firefighters for their courage, standing strong after such a tremendous loss. I, along with many others, carry sorrow and anguish with the families of the fallen brothers. May God be with you!!

CHOPPED 2014 - October 3rd - 5th
Hot Rods and rock music get back to their roots for Chopped a three-day festival where pre-1965 style custom cars and music fanatics from across Australia roll into Victoria.
Taking place an hour and a half north of Melbourne, Chopped is a unique cultural experience similar to that of being thrown back to a 1950s/60s Hop Up Carnavale. Thousands of fans from around the country partake in a mix of traditional style hot rods & custom cars alongside bobber & chopper motorcycles with entrants running head-to-head throughout the show in two-lane old-style dirt drags entertaining the crowds.

No, the only two spreadsheets I maintain for personal use are one to log the deep sky objects I have seen through my scopes or binoculars, listing catalogue/number,alternative names, type, constellation, date observed etc, and one in which I list the number of species of fish and seafood my kids have eaten (79 for the youngest (10), 80 for the eldest (12)), listing English and Dutch common names and who ate them. The first helps me select new objects to tackle, the second encourages the kids to try more different kinds of food.

Much as I would like, "incompetence" is not on the statute books as a crime. The legislative bodies probably omitted it for several reasons:
1) Prisons could not handle the volume of offenders
2) Incompetence was considered a given for anybody in high office (Peter Principle and all that)
3) Sir Humphreys actually prefer incompetent ministers

Microsoft 'Catapults' geriatric Moore's Law from CERTAIN DEATH
Re: Interesting stuff
Maybe SIMD is not the best turn of phrase. As I see it, FPGAs could work well if the processing steps are fairly predetermined. I do not see FPGAs working on the data-driven processing order required for my kind of image and volume filtering work, but then I haven't got much experience with FPGAs, so maybe I am wrong
Re: Here's a Lesson Learned (from SDR) for anyone going down this road...
Absolutely true. Reprogramming FPGAs is a bottleneck to many. A software platform which could ease that pain would help, but I trust that might be as difficult as compilers which "automatically" recognize how to parallellise code. I have seen examples of the latter which handled quite a few situations admirably, but feed them e.g. a queue based algorithm and they are stuck. Many challenging problem require real originality.
Interesting stuff
FPGAs do offer interesting ways to extend the power of computers, especially for SIMD type situations (and there are loads of these). I will see if our library has that paper available.
I thought Moore's law was not so much an assertion as an observation. I gather he observed a trend in the data so far, and suggested the exponential growth might go on for a while yet. I do not think he envisaged it to last as long as it has.
I do tire of people who still suggest Moore's Law will come to the rescue of their pathetically slow algorithms. I always like to point out that even if Moore's Law continues unabated, the amount of data their quadratic, cubic, or even exponential complexity algorithms algorithms can handle will not grow in the same way. Instead, the amount of data will grow by the square or cube root of two for each doubling, and in the exponential case you can add one data item per doubling of speed.
The end of Moore's Law might put an end to this form of sloppy thinking

Weren't the Boffins related to the Bagginses?
Or was that the Bulgers?
Sorry, I'll get me coat
Re: Shock!
Boffins really, really need a sense of humour. If you cannot poke fun at life, the universe, and everything, you might end up starting to take yourself and (worse) your ideas way to seriously. You might even end up believing in them, which totally scuppers your critical attitude. A good capacity for self-deprecation or even self mockery is important in science.
This is why I like writing the odd paper for Annals of Improbable Research. Must get that paper on pasta-antipasta collision experiments finished.

AMD tops processor evolution with new mobile Kaveri chippery
hUMA is very interesting
For many problems, getting things to work efficiently on a GPU is limited by the small working memory of the stream processors, and the costs of transferring data to and from this working memory. Besides, certain tasks have parts best performed on the CPU, and other parts better suited to the GPU, be removing the need to pump data from one memory partition to another, speeds could increase dramatically.

Not just government officials, but many others in big data. Too often they assume that arbitrary aggregation will result in better statistics (e.g., because the standard error in the mean is reduced), whereas all too often piling up data from different sources in fact obscures certain effects.
Well-written article again.
Did NASA probe detect a KILLER GAMMA-RAY burst in Andromeda?
Off-axis in this context means outside the centre of the field of view of the instrument. Raw brightness data from many instruments need correction for contamination from nearby bright sources.
Re: NASA have changed their mind
Re: That could mean a VERY bright supernova in visible light
I do not doubt that (in the words of sir Patrick Moore) this will have "all the crackpots crawling out of the woodwork". A type 1a in M31 would be about magnitude 5, but that would not cause a GRB-like event. I would expect this to be brighter (although much depends on extinction by dust)
That could mean a VERY bright supernova in visible light
Naked eye most likely. I'll be getting out the bins the moment the clouds clear (not likely at the moment), but supernovae last quite a while, so we should get to see it.

CERN: Build terabit networks or the Higgs gets it!
Re: Alternatively
You need to realise that 1 PB/s is 0.02% of what is detected. 99.8 or so % is discarded on detectors "boards" already, before it hits the first cable.
Very true.
Re: Alternatively
True, as a scientist you do not like throwing away anything, but with projects like LOFAR, SKA, and the like there is little other option. One trick in the case of LHC-like is to store the detected tracks in a parametric way rather than storing every point that made up the track. That makes a big difference. Might we miss things? Certainly, can we store all the data for later reuse? Not at the moment.
You really want to be able to do both. Processing faster to get the information from the data and store every bit quickly.
They need faster data reduction methods. We are actually working on much faster processing methods to extract the information from the raw data, so the raw data need not all be stored before processing. They do use preprocessing methods for reducing storage now, but existing methods do not scale well, so for ever faster data rates better, lower complexity algorithms are needed.
Not that I would mind kit with the specs they want. I want that too. And not to run Crysis!

'Venture Timez!
Last week I worked on a project for Insomniac Games and SA Studios to help promote the XBoxOne game Sunset Overdrive. This art was originally meant for tee shirts but we then used it as a mural piece on display at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. Three other L.A. artists were involved, Eyeone and Tristan Eaton. With ILoveDust in the batch, as well.
Edit: More info and a time-lapse video of the mural here.
Our shirts will be given away at E3 this week. It's basically a scavenger hunt taking place in various locations near Sunset Blvd. Keep your eyes set on Sunset Overdrive's twitter for times and locations.
Some of the work I've done for Nike will be on display at their benefit/art show for C.H.A.P. The event is called Nike Graphics Studio Poster Show. It takes place Saturday, June 15th @ Disjecta Contemporary Art Center (Portland, Oregon).
It's an awesome group show.
If you're in the area drop by and enjoy.

Sorry, that home is no longer available
Apartment | 1 bedrooms | sleeps 2
My one bedroom apartment is situated on the first floor and has a great view over the cobbled streets of Temple Bar below :-) It is just around the corner from Temple Bar Square - so there really is no better location in Dublin!
You are at the heart of all of the action and can easily walk to the major attractions in the city - Trinity College, Christchurch, Dublinia, the Ha'penny Bridge, Grafton Street & Henry Street shopping districts... these are all just a short stroll away. Or if you prefer, you could just relax in the living room, open the balcony doors in the large bay-window and simply watch the world go by below you...
The apartment comfortably sleeps two people. There is one bedroom with a really comfy double bed, which is located at the back of the building, so it is nice and quiet at nighttime :-) There is a separate bathroom with shower. The kitchen is fully equipped (not that you will be wanting to eat-in very often with all the great cafes and restaurants on your doorstep!). There is even a Nespresso coffee machine to get you started in the morning :-)
All the essentials that you need are provided - super-fast wifi, cable digital TV, Apple TV (with access to Netflix), washing machine with laundry powder etc. The price includes all bed linen and towels. If you are staying for a long period, the price will also include the regular servicing of the apartment. There are also a couple of umbrellas, just in case the Irish weather starts to play up!
I will meet you when you arrive and show you around the apartment. There is a detailed House Manual in the apartment with tons of suggestions on places to eat and things to do in and around Temple Bar. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me - I'd love to help!
All of the bus routes (including the airport buses) are within a few minutes' walk and the Luas is a short stroll away. Taxis are everywhere as the apartment really is in the hub of the city.
Or, if you prefer, I can come and collect you by car from the airport and bring you directly to the apartment. I would have to charge you a small fee for this, but certainly less than that of a taxi - please contact me for details.
