A meeting of the foreign students of Kalmyk State University and the representatives of diplomatic structure of Mongolia, Djibouti, Benin and China took place in the scholarly library on the first of November.
Within the KalmSU's forty fifth Anniversary Events, Elista was visited by such guests of honor as: Gabriel Kochofa and Mohamed Ali Kamil, the Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Benin and Djibouti in the Russian Federation; Zhao Guocheng, the counselor-minister for Educational Affairs of the Chinese Embassy in the Russian Federation, and Tan Defen, the secretary for Educational Affairs of the Chinese Embassy in the Russian Federation; Sainsanaa Tserenchimed, the secretary for Educational Affairs of the Mongolian Embassy in the Russian Federation; and Viktor Kuprihin, the counselor of the deputy minister for Educational and Scientific Affairs of Russia.
The students, wearing their national costumes, welcomed the guests and then conducted an excursion for them in the Library in company with the rector Badma Salaev. The Embassy staff took an active interest in Calligraphy and Origami classes in Confucius Institute. Those students who had completed an internship or worked in Summer Camps in China recognized that they were impressed by the rich culture and history of this country. In the Kazakh center of Science and Culture a student Ainat Abdrakhmanova mentioned that there are more than 50 representatives of Kazakhstan. ''It is very comfortable here. With each passing year, there are more and more students wanting to study in Kalmyk State University,'' observed she.
Later on the meeting continued in the center of Confucius Institute ''Comprehension'', where the guests were welcomed by its heads of both Russian and Chinese sides, Zhen Fan and Namzhavin Sodmon. The guests watched a film devoted to the Institute's activity in Kalmykia and Students' performance, who acted out an episode and read poems in Chinese.
''In 2011, our university hosted students from five foreign countries, now there are more than five hundred foreign students from thirty eight countries. Kalmyk State University intensively develops international cooperation. Moreover, developing international cooperation and providing education for students, we educate each one with great traditions of each nation,'' observed Badma Salaev, the rector of KalmSU.
Anselm Hyundai (Benin), the president of Association of International Students, highlighted that the number of foreign students is increasing due to favorable conditions provided by the university. ''Every country is interested in training good future specialists. KalmSU has very high level of teaching. The living environment is also very good, our dormitories are rated among the best in Russia. As for social assistance, the number of activists among foreign students is increasing, they earn cash bonus of ten-fifteen thousand rubles, and they also receive a grant of more than twelve thousand rubles. Thanks to Association of International Students, we have become like a big family and we solve all problems together and organize various events such as festivals, students' camps for freshmen, activists' seminary, etc,'' said Anselm Hyundai.
The foreign students also shared their impressions of studying in Kalmyk State University: they are from China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Mongolia, Indonesia and many other countries. They say they feel here right at home.
Viktor Kuprihin, the counselor of the deputy minister for Educational and Scientific Affairs of Russia, recognized that he was amazed with the way the meeting was held and the good fellowship between the students and the professors. He observed: '' I felt younger with you today. I have noticed such a unity! We are one of the universities, who pay special attention to the international cooperation and the professional training of students from different republics and countries. Thank you for coming to Kalmykia to study Russian. Our cooperation is beneficial for our countries.''
Gabriel Kochofa, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Benin, compared that friendly atmosphere with the Soviet era. ''You reminded me, fellows, the time I studied here. Once, in 1996, I established Association of International Students, and at that time nobody believed in the success of the Association. However, it works, and its branch has appeared in Kalmykia and it is among the best in Russia. I am delighted with your work,'' said he.
Zhao Guocheng, the representative of the Chinese Embassy, remarked: ''it is essential that you implement national diplomacy. We wouldn't be able to succeed without international cooperation.''
Sainsanaa Tserenchimed, the cooperator of the Mongolian Embassy in the Russian Federation, warmly greeted the students and said: ''I am proud that Mongolian students are getting education here. I congratulate you all and wish you new achievements, successful students and graduates!''
In conclusion, the students invited the guests to the Foreign Students' Festival, which takes place on the third of November within the International Forum ''Universities of Eurasia''.

Are you in need of a FEW juicy health and fitness tips that can make you MORE successful and make you feel more alive? If so you are in the right place my friend. This blog post is totally for you :-) So here is what I recommend you should do on a daily/weekly basis:
1) Deep Breathing: Take deep breaths a few times a day! Breathing deeply 5 times a day can reduce anxiety and increase calmness and peace in your life! This is good for your lungs, your brain and your whole being!
2) Get Fit: Exercise 3-4 times a week! Do it because it's compulsory for your health! Exercise can reduce the impact of stress and lower things like heart disease and high blood pressure! Apparently people who exercise are expected to live 7 years longer than those who don't. Add 7 years to your life by training at the gym from today!!
3) Walk: Get up and walk as much as possible even if you work from home! At work you also need to walk around your building because sitting for 6 hours in a row is dangerous for your health! Every hour get up from the computer at work and walk around for 5 mins, stretch your legs! Go for walks on your lunch break! Don't have lunch on your desk EVER!! It's a really bad unhealthy habit!
4) Avoid anger: Limit anger, become more cool tempered! Too much anger isn't good for your health! Practice the act of forgiveness on a daily basis. Resentment, grudges and bitterness is what makes most people sick!
5) Eat Healthy: More salad and more fresh fruit and veg is necessary for your well being! You can be super slim but if your diet sucks it doesn't mean that you are healthy! So we actually need to watch what we eat!
BONUS TIP: Don't go on crazy diets or make extreme changes your fitness regime without consulting a doctor, nutritionist or a fitness instructor etc:
Why is this? Well it's BECAUSE chances are, you are not medically trained, so you don't know what your body needs like experts do! You could decide to cut out sugar from your diet. But you actually might have low sugar! Or you might decide to take iron tablets but you might have high levels of iron already! So always do tests and check ups first before you make changes!
And there you have it!! This is what I do on a weekly basis to try and improve my health.
Let me know which step you feel you need to follow the MOST from this list? And what's your biggest weakness when it comes to health and fitness? Leave a comment below!!
I look forward to hearing from you.

How can we edit the Release settings?
I want word report to be generated on pressing the Release button.
Or need a function that creates the word document in the specified folder - to created document by pressing a button without visiting the word specification process step.
Some of the newer integrations don't participate in releases, Word is one of those. You'll need to use something like the following, triggered by one of the release events to generate the document. It will place it in the local working folder. Use "WORD" as the SpecName and ThePart should be the Rulestream part family instance that contains the Word Document Spec.
Public Function ReleaseDocumentOutput(ByRef ThePart As Part, ByVal SpecName As String) As Integer
Dim ReturnStatus As Integer = -1 ' Assume error unless otherwise
For Each spec As Spec In ThePart.Specs
'Loop Thru All Specs, finding the Word Spec we want
Dim strSpecName As String = spec.Name
If (strSpecName = SpecName) Then
' Found the Spec, release it
ReturnStatus = g_RsEngineer.CreateOutput(ThePart.ObjId, spec.SpecID, Nothing, False)

We have recently noticed the following issue:
- Just create a simple report block with a prompt (e.g: a efashion Universe based report with 2 columns: State & Revenue and and State ? as prompt)
- Publish the report block as a BI Web Service (Including the prompt)
- In a dashboard (old xcelsius) create 3 connections: each of one calling the previous published BIWS with a different prompt answer (e.g: colorado, california, dc). All 3 connections muts have the refresh parameter set to TRUE. All 3 share same user/password info. All 3 are refreshed at startup.
If the value of each connection is displayed in the dashboard I would expect to see the answer of each prompt on the call to the BIWS. But instead of that this is what we are retrieving:
We have done several tests and the pattern seems quite clear: when the BI service which includes the prompt is called multiple time in a short interval of time (<10 seconds) it looks like the calls are using the answer from the previous one instead of its own one.
Browsing on Q&A we have seen similar issue when using QaWs (not BIWS)
Data refresh problem - QaaWS and Tomcat cache https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/1260464
Anyway we have tried to apply the workaround provided there but it does not work for us.
Anyone has noticed this issue and knows how to manage it?
I have fixed your tags, please select more careful next time.

About Creative Node Web Design
For those that are new to the internet and want to create a website, it can be overwhelming trying to decide where to start. This may be due in part to the fact there are a wide variety of platforms and website generating softwares, sites and resources.
There is the option of hiring professionals to build the site which can be worthwhile for those with a bigger budget and who have little experience or time to do it themselves. There are also countless platforms and resources to help you build your own site from the ground up-for free.
Here there is some basic but good starter information to give some insight as to what is needed by way of web design and web development. One area that often gets neglected is the security of websites and what their vulnerabilities are. To help promote the importance of this we have written an informative post.
Another area of importance is the development of the website itself. No matter which option is chosen for the building of the site there are certain elements that it must contain. The information provided here will shed some light on this.
Finally,there is the need for web support. The work that a website requires doesn't end when the website is completed and has gone live. It requires ongoing maintenance and at times support. There is a post here that gives some good information about this.
Hopefully what you find here on our information site about web design and development will help you in knowing some of the choices that are available for you. It will give you a greater understanding of the tasks at hand.

Ian Wright has extended an olive branch to Stan Collymore despite his despicable comments.
Wright has once again shown himself to be the bigger man with this reaction:
.I'm sending you this olive branch @StanCollymore because in my heart I have love for you. We go back to far for this ridiculous spat to continue! I understand that in life our actions and decisions can cost us dearly. But there is, if you want it,redemption for everyone.
— Ian Wright (@IanWright0) June 13, 2018
The argument started when Collymore criticised Wright and others in an interview with the Guardian.
"To be a black pundit you either need to be a comedian like Chris Kamara or Ian Wright – guys who have big pearly-white smiles and everyone loves laughing at – or Jermaine Jenas and Alex Scott, who are completely inoffensive," Collymore said.
Wright responded by tweeting Collymore, cc-ing in the other targets of Collymore's words:
Cc: @jjenas8 @AlexScott @chris_kammy pic.twitter.com/b7Z9ISHub2
— Ian Wright (@IanWright0) June 10, 2018
That caused Collymore to lash out, calling Wright "the epitome of a Tom" and a "c***".
The post Wrighty sends 'olive branch' to Collymore after race slur appeared first on Football365.

If you are tuning in from England, you already know all about the joys of Primark hauls. But for my followers back in the States, and Norway, prepare to have your mind blown. The best way I can describe Primark is by saying, it's like Forever 21… On crack. With prices far cheaper than Marshalls, and even Burlington. I can easily say this is my new favorite store.
With three whole levels worth of the hottest buys, you can see how I was overwhelmed having only 30 minutes to shop until the store closed. But lo and behold, I managed to do a little damage. My wallet lucked out since I didn't have time to make it to the third floor where they keep all the home goods. I'm secretly wishing we would have got stationed here so that I can have monthly Primark hauls.
Well, ladies and gents here's the damage, and please excuse the quality of the photos. I did my best considering we're staying at the on base hotel and I have nowhere cute to take the pictures:
How cute is this little makeup bag?! It is the perfect souvenir from my time in England. I snagged 2 of them because they were so cheap (3 pounds cheap.)
I know what you're thinking… Why is she sharing her bra with us?… Well for one look how cute it is, and two because I was so surprised that they carried sizes for girls with larger boobs. I have the HARDEST time finding bras that fit me in Norway, so I was in heaven.
How cute is this workout shirt? The tank top itself is super cute, but the fact that it comes with a built-in sports bra just makes it 100x better. Especially considering it was only 7 pounds.
I am a SUCKER for baggy tee shirts. I am obsessed with this one specifically. It is so incredibly cozy. Excuse the wrinkles, I slept in it last night and took the photo this morning. This cost ONLY 3 Pounds, and now I'm kicking myself for not buying one in every color.
This was my most expensive purchase, but coming in at only 12 pounds I'm not complaining even a little bit. I'm super excited to wear these on my next Tampa trip when @angelaodell14 gets stationed there.
This is the perfect rain coat for living in Norway. It's super light for the warmer days, it actually folds up to fit in your purse. It's super convenient for your days downtown that turn bar nights.
You cannot beat these prices. I've been wanting to try the silicone sponge for awhile now, I couldn't pass this buy up. 2 pounds for 2 sponges. This is unheard of.
How precious is this romper?? I'm obsessed. Especially for only 8 pounds.
I got this sweater to wear over the romper, because again, Norway is super unpredictable. It's super simple and comfy, for only 7 pounds.
Last but not least these 2-pound sunnies. I snapped this photo pre-gym so excuse the makeupless selfie (see the new tank top???)
I'm super excited to share my very first Primark haul with you guys! How do you think I did with only 30 minutes? I'm already trying to plan my next trip back to England, cause your girl is in desperate need of more retail therapy.
What's the best find you've ever found in Primark? Share in the comments 🙂

Hundreds of demonstrators marched down Hollywood Boulevard on Saturday evening demanding that Mayor Eric Garcetti declare a state of emergency and spend $100 million to alleviate the city's homelessness crisis.
Watched over by about two dozen LAPD officers on foot and bikes, lines of protesters walked past the historic Pantages Theatre with signs accusing the mayor of breaking a pledge to address the crisis swiftly and forcefully.
"Hey, Garcetti, keep your word! Keep our homeless off the curb!" demonstrators chanted as they crossed Hollywood and Vine.
Passersby thanked the marchers; one man raised his fist and yelled, "God bless you!"
Alisa Orduna, the mayor's homelessness policy director, marched with the demonstrators, saying Garcetti needed public demonstrations to push through his homelessness agenda.
Orduna said the mayor had received legal advice that the governor would back a state of emergency only in case of a natural disaster, not a chronic social calamity like L.A.'s burgeoning homeless population.
Garcetti proposed spending $138 million to address homelessness, but the source of half the money is uncertain. Food kitchens and other grass-roots relief efforts could help the mayor implement his homelessness agenda.
"We need community members to let council members know it's OK to open up homeless navigation centers in their neighborhoods, " Orduna said. "So far, what they're hearing from constituents is no."
Claudia Perez, one of the march organizers, said the mayor could do more.
"He sits at home. He doesn't see how bad it's gotten," said Perez, whose group, LA on Cloud9, distributes tents, food and other supplies to homeless people in South Los Angeles and skid row.
"It is absolutely a crisis, and we need the mayor to pass some bills to build shelters and housing," said Mel Tillekeratne, founder of Monday Night Mission, a five-day-a-week skid row food and relief group.
LAPD Officer Aaron Nunez, of the department's Hollywood division, estimated about 1,500 people participated in Saturday's march.
Los Angeles County has the most homeless people without shelter in the nation, studies have found, and over the years local officials have made tackling the problem a top priority. One tally released earlier this month found that nearly 47,000 people were living on the streets and in shelters countywide, with about two-thirds of those living in the city.
The city of Los Angeles has approved a $1.87-billion plan to step up homeless housing, but it's unclear where the money would come from. Garcetti wants to spend $138 million this year on general homeless services, but the city is still looking for how to cover half those costs.
The county has set aside $150 million and is talking about creating a "millionaires tax" or some other funding source to help pay for more homeless services.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Gov. Jerry Brown threw his support behind an ambitious $2-billion plan to build housing for California's mentally ill homeless population.
The governor's action comes as cities including Los Angeles and San Francisco have seen increases in homelessness as rising rents and a lack of shelter space push poor people into shantytowns on city sidewalks and in riverbeds and canyons.
Under the plan, the state would issue $2 billion in bonds. The money would be repaid over 20 to 30 years with funds provided under Proposition 63, the "millionaires tax" for mental health services that voters approved in 2004.

Exclusive insights into DD4BC's DDoS blackmail in Germany and Austria
Currently, the cybercriminal group DD4BC (DDoS for Bitcoins) is blackmailing companies in Germany and Austria and also attacking them.Large companies in the financial sector as well as SaaS and hosting companies receive blackmail emails from anonymous mail services such as openmailbox.org and tutanote.com, in which up to 50 bitcoins (approx. 11,500 euros) are demanded within 24 hours, depending on the industry. If the payment is not made, DD4BC threatens with ongoing DDoS attacks with a volume of 400 to 500 Gbps. In addition, the demand for protection money increases to 100 Bitcoins and continues to rise at hourly intervals.
Serious DDoS threat situation
DD4BC directly supports the seriousness of its demands in the blackmail with a first DDoS attack and thus demonstrates its own cybercrime capabilities. The attack overloads the systems of companies without DDoS protection in most cases and brings web-based services and processes as well as company networks to a complete standstill. If the required Bitcoin payment is not made, the blackmailers launch the announced attack with peaks of up to 50 Gbps.
Countries in which DD4BC was already active
Jens-Philipp Jung, Managing Director of Link11 GmbH: "The number of companies put under pressure by DD4BC is alarming. Due to the unannounced first DDoS attack and the increased number of incidents in the DACH region, the danger for unprotected companies in Germany is currently very high. It was only at the beginning of May that we had to warn German e-commerce shops of the biggest blackmail wave to date. In the current incidents, money claims are directed against the financial sector and providers of online services. Every company that receives a blackmailer e-mail from DD4BC should take it seriously. Even a warning attack can hit a company network hard."
Technical details on DD4BC's DDoS attacks
The Link11 Security Operation Center (LSOC for short) has fended off numerous DD4BC attacks since the beginning of the blackmail wave at the end of June 215, analyzed the course of action as well as the threat and identified recurring attack patterns: At the beginning there is a UDP flood to the web servers, followed in most cases by a TCP SYN flood. In total, the attack usually lasts about an hour and reaches peak bandwidths close to 100 Gbps.
The "Link11 security analysis DDoS blackmail by DD4BC" summarizes the detailed findings at https://www.ddos-info.de/2015/link11-warnt-vor-dd4bc-ddos-erpressung-in-deutschland.html .
DD4BC are repeat offenders
DD4BC has long been known among DDoS protection experts. Since the end of 2014, the cybercrime group has repeatedly used DDoS attacks against companies to gain access to Bitcoins. They proceed country by country: USA, New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain. DD4BC was still very active in Switzerland and Great Britain in May, but attacked companies in Scandinavia just a few weeks later. Neither the anonymous e-mail addresses nor the Bitcoin accounts can be traced back.

Baby Birds and Blossoms Card and Tutorial (Heartfelt Creations Wednesday)
Well, Friends….it's the last Heartfelt Creations Wednesday for the month of May, and I am sitting here scratching my head and wondering how the time passed me by so quickly! Between a mini vacation to the beach, traveling to the mountains to watch our youngest son receive his Master's Degree, a trip to Baltimore to visit my sweet daughter Liz and Memorial Day weekend, this month simply vanished! The happy memories made during this very busy month will last forever! I'm popping in to share a Baby Birds and Blossoms card and tutorial made with the precious Sweet Lullaby Collection from Heartfelt Creations.
Now, you know I love my birds, so it was a given that I would use this card front from the Sweet Lullaby paper collection . I combined it with the elegant Raindrops on Roses die and the Sweet Lullaby Die along with a chipboard branch and Spellbinder's Opulent Ovals. The sentiment is stamped with the Sweet Lullaby Sentiments and then die cut with the very useful Once Upon a Time die. The gorgeous ribbon is Delicate Stitched Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon. You'll find a complete supply list and a detailed tutorial below.
Here's a peeky at the inside of the card:
I also want to provide a link to my Take the Road Less Traveled mini album TUTORIAL. I goofed up and published this on my blog, but forgot to upload it to the Heartfelt Creation site. It is being featured this week on their blog and I want to make sure you can find the tutorial and detailed photos in case you missed it the first time around. Here's a little photo of that project.
I'm sorry that I messed that up….like I said…May has been a busy month! LOL
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Be sure to visit the HC BLOG for even more inspirational ideas from the rest of the design team. I think there is a new video there today as well, and Emma Lou always shares the best ideas! I'd love to hear what you would make with this sweet collection….hearing from you always makes me happy right down to the tips of my crafty little fingers.

a "good-looking Mick Hucknall"? Surely that's a back-handed compliment??
EXCLUSIVE: The girlfriend of Lichfield singer Shaun Smith has backed him to win Britain's Got Talent – but warned him not to forget their anniversary!
Sixteen-year-old Emily Abbotts has seen her boyfriend shoot to fame after wowing the judges on the TV talent show with his rendition of Bill Withers' song Ain't No Sunshine.
Described as a "good-looking Mick Hucknall" by Simon Cowell, Shaun has been installed as second favourite to win the show with the bookies.
And girlfriend Emily believes he has what it takes to win Britain's Got Talent after being such a hit with the judges. She told The Lichfield Blog:
"I was in the audience when he auditioned and I was so nervous for him. When he walked out in front of the judges I didn't know what to do, it was all just a blur! When I watched it back on TV the other week though, I was able to watch it and take it all in – I was so proud of him that I couldn't stop crying.
"Shaun has a really good chance at winning the show this year, his voice is different and he's really good looking so all the girls will vote for him."
And it's all those female fans that have seen Emily become the envy of women up and down the country.
But despite stories in the national media claiming she was worried about the female attention Shaun would get, the Lichfield teenager says she's happy to be the lucky one.
She explained:
"Before the show aired I was quite worried that all the attention would be too much to handle, but I've got used to it all now. I find it quite amusing actually, and I love the fact that I'm the girl who gets all his cuddles and kisses!"
Shaun and Emily will celebrate their first anniversary together in June and although the 17-year-old singer's schedule is likely to be busy if, as expected, Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden select him on Saturday as one of the acts to make the live semi-finals, Emily has reminded her man to remember their special day. She joked:
"It's our year anniversary in June so he'd better have something nice planned for me!"
A volunteer wrote this. Say thanks with a coffee.

Defects in the discrete case 31 We will now treat the general case. Write A = S −1 B where B is a finitely generated k-algebra and S a multiplicative set. 12] we obtain A = S −1 B. We have shown that B is a finite A-module and hence A is a finite A-module. 3. Let (L, w) ⊇ (K, v) be a finite extension of valued fields. Suppose one of the following hold: i. L/K is separable and ∆v ∼ = Z; ii. Ov contains a field k, Ov = K, K finitely generated over k, and trdegk (K) = 1. Then we have ∆v ∼ = Z and d(w/v) = 1.
Proofs. 1. Let (L, w) ⊇ (K, v) be a finite extension of valued fields. Let (M, x) be a finite normal extension of (K, v) containing (L, w). Then the following hold: i. the quantity n(w/v) is well-defined and one has n(w/v) = [Lh,x : Kh,x ]; Z ii. d(w/v) is well-defined and has values in pv ≥0 . gM,w gM,v · [L : K] = Furthermore, the quantities d, dw , e, et ew , f, f s , f i and n are multiplicative in towers. Proof. i. e. does not depend on the choice of M . Let M be another normal extension of K containing L with G = AutK (M ).
Note that LL = M , L ∩ L = Q. Furthermore, we know the splitting behavior of (2) in M : (2) = p21 p22 p23 where there is just one prime above p respectively p , which is totally wild, and there are two primes above q respectively q . Say that p1 lies above p . Then p1 /p is totally wild, but p1 |L /2Z is not even local. 16 do not hold in this case. 28 Chapter 1. 15 it is not necessarily true that L1 = L4 , L2 = L5 or L3 = L6 . Indeed, for the extension (Q(α), q)/(Q, 2Z) we have L1 = L2 = L3 = Q and L4 = L5 = L6 = Q(α).

Saturdays were high dusting days for this mother and daughter team.
They didn't see me as I stood in the door of their white stucco home in Guinope, Honduras.
I came to say goodbye. It was time for me to return to Rhode Island.
I had been in Guinope for three months assisting Dr. Pearlita Marcy in the local medical clinic.
The people of Guinope were now my friends. We ate together, prayed together and laughed together.
When I first arrived in Guinope many people could not pronounce my name, Cherrilynn (Sherry Lynn) As hard as they tried they could not pronounce the "SH"; it always sounded like "CHI".
My name became Chingaling. I grew to love it.
Unbeknownst to everyone in Guinope, my heart was broken.
I was in a rocky relationship with a gentleman from the states. The relationship had ended, but I did not want to let go.
Holding on seemed to be a pattern with me.
I could not leave my emotional baggage at the airport when I arrived; I dragged it everywhere I traveled.
My wounds from childhood abuse screamed to be healed, and they would not stop just because I was in a foreign land.
I was good at hiding all that brokenness, fear, and depression.
The Lord was at work in this quiet mountainside village.
His loving hand desired to touch my wounds and mend them.
I had many long talks with God as I walked through the streets of Guinope. (emotional baggage in tow)
God began to heal my broken heart. The weight of despair dissipated as I loosened my grip on the handle of my broken identity.
My friends turned to stare at the glass shattered on the floor.
Chingaling! they repeated.
Are you that happy to see me? I said.
My sudden appearance startled them.
No, I mean yes, Laura said.
Then Laura and Zoila looked at each other with amusement and delight.
Chingaling they shouted and began to laugh a full belly laugh.
I thought they were going to fall off their chairs.
What's so funny?
I began to laugh with them.
They stepped off the chairs, avoiding the glass.
Chingaling, Laura said as she pointed to the broken glass on the floor. Laura spoke fluent English.
The Spanish word for the sound of glass as it crashes to the floor is Chingaling.
Laura and I cleaned up the glass.
As I swept the pieces of broken glass into the dustpan, the Holy Spirit impressed these words upon my heart.
Chingaling, I am sweeping up the broken pieces of your heart. I will mend them together for my joy and purpose.
The Lord also reminded me of Scripture
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 (tweet this)
I only remember a few Spanish words, but I will never forget my name, Chingaling. (I use it for my twitter handle)
Do you feel shattered, like there are too many broken pieces to repair?
God promises to bind the brokenhearted. Run into His loving arms for healing.
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,for you are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14

With history being made a month ago, the impact of the women's marches lingers heavily
Just prior to about half a million people converging upon Washington, D.C. for what would soon after be verified as the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history, Taylor Phillips trekked from New York City to the nation's capital on the heels of the Women's March's impetus: The inauguration of Donald Trump as 45th president of the country.
Plenty of the president's supporters lingered from the inaugural festivities, which Phillips, 26, did not have to strain to notice.
"I accidentally timed my arrival in D.C. with the end of the inauguration (Jan. 20). I took the Metro and it seemed to only have Trump supporters in the car. It was there on the car that a man told his teenage son not to make eye contact with me. While meeting a friend for lunch, I ran into another young woman in a unisex bathroom that contained a urinal and a stall and she mockingly referred to it as a 'transgendered' bathroom. After she and I sat back at our respective tables, a group of protesters came in for a drink. They were an older group and carried signs from their protesting. A woman in her sixties carried a sign that said "Nasty Woman." This young woman from the bathroom started angrily shouting at her, 'Excuse me, what does your sign say? What is a nasty woman? Could you please explain to me what a nasty woman is?' until the group left. My friend and I felt hopeless and surrounded by hate."
In the eyes of Phillips and many others, an overarching sense of rage and ignorance has permeated the fabric of America in coalescence with Trump's rise to power. With some claiming this to be the end of "political correctness," others see it as a threat to basic moral decency.
What it actually represents has yet to fully materialize, but four women from different backgrounds who attended three separate marches – Washington, New York and San Diego – have come forward to discuss what the marches meant to them and how they feel about the various politics and criticisms surrounding the collective effort to fight for equal gender rights.
Taking this feminist pilgrimage served as a beginning for Phillips.
She described facing down the crashing wave of the current political tenor as "overwhelming." Whether such conditions have been brewing for years or been recently concocted by Trump, Phillips said she believes the first step in halting the current trends is simply standing up.
In doing so, she says she found herself enveloped in a wave of love, positivity and hopefulness, a complete 180-degree turn from the day prior. Phillips described the scene as the epitome of a peaceful protest, free of physical outbursts. (There were no reported arrests made during any of the largest protests, which took place in Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle, among other places.)
"There was no pushing or crowding each other," she said. "Everyone was very accommodating, letting people in and out of the crowd and giving each other space. People were even calling out to be careful of curbs and steps so no one would get hurt.
"We couldn't believe the number of people that came out for the protest. We felt a part of history, and it felt incredible that the positivity lasted hours (we were there for maybe about six or seven hours), especially once we started marching."
The collective effervescence pertained to her homestead, New York City, as well.
Sporting a makeshift cardboard sign reading "Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History," a quote dubbed by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Mikayla Orrson marched with approximately 250,000 others in downtown Manhattan.
"The purpose for me was about community," Orrson said. "It was overwhelming to feel the mutual love and respect the marchers had for each other. I know my stance on women's rights and civil rights, but it's powerful to see your opinion supported by others. It's empowering. Empowerment and hope, that's what the march was about."

As Phillips and Orrson marched in tow with their fellow activists on the eastern seaboard, Katie Gunning watched videos and flipped through pictures of the events before taking part in a march more than 2,500 miles away in California.
A San Diego native who attended college in Pennsylvania, Gunning, 22, was an active presence in feminist causes throughout her time at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
"It was incredibly uplifting to see that many people out there to support so many different causes, almost all of which were about human rights," she said of the San Diego march, which drew approximately 40,000 people. "There were people there of every age, race, gender, sexuality, etc."
Like New York and Washington, grave overtones and violence were largely omitted.
"For me the march felt, like, exciting," Gunning said. "I could tell that people were ready to make a stand and protect each other and to really just be there and support each other. There was no violence or anything, we just marched and chanted and danced.
"People had some really creative signs and everyone was commenting on each other's signs and giving compliments."

For the three aforementioned women, tales of hope and liveliness ruled the day on Jan. 21. However, more than a fair share of opponents still criticized the marches as nothing more than sore losers pouting over the defeat of their "preferred" presidential candidate, Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.
If not that accusation, then perhaps the next most popular claim was that women in the United States are well-off and do not know true hardship, like those in other countries who endure strict and at-times abusive treatment.
More simply put, much ado about nothing.
Alex Salyers is angry.
A graphic designer from Pittsburgh, Salyers, 23, also marched with her friends down in Washington, D.C. She sees Trump's administration as a threat not just women, but to education and the environment as well.
Not only is she prepared to spar with any of Trump's potentially harmful policies, but also with those who attempt to discredit the goals marchers are striving to achieve.
"Being a defender of women's rights does not mean being a defender of American women's rights only," she asserted. "It means defending the rights of women all over the globe. I would challenge those people (who criticize) to be more proactive, just as the marchers were, and do something to help the cause instead of just posting (on social media) about it."
And even though she is outspoken about the advocacy of all women, she feels perturbed by the apparent hypocrisy of those attempting to squash the American marchers through referencing situations from other parts of the globe.
"These are the people who voted for a man who stood up in front of the whole world and preached the words, 'From this moment on, it's going to be America First.' In summary, he implied that we help ourselves before the needs of other countries," she said. "His supporters clicking the share button to that 'check your privilege' post or the 'quit your whining, other people have it worse' post probably won't go any further in helping the cause, and neither will the man they put into office."
Gunning stressed that complacency is not a viable route to change.
"I once read a quote that said 'You do not have to be grateful that it isn't worse,' and that really stuck with me. While it is important to understand that we do have a lot of rights in this country that people in other countries don't, it doesn't mean we should stop fighting to make it better. At one point, women had basically no rights. If it wasn't for the feminist movement, we probably wouldn't have made any progress. If it wasn't for suffragists who took to the streets to fight for the right to vote, women still wouldn't be allowed to participate in one of the most basic parts of democracy. And that's just one example out of so many. Telling someone that they should be happy with limited rights because it could be worse is a way of keeping people down. This march is about raising people up."
Phillips echoed Gunning's views.
"I think those who marched are focused on continually moving forward, not moving backward," she said. "We're not looking for a consolation prize of 'Hey, at least we don't treat you as poorly as they do in other countries!' We're looking for real equality. I hope we can recognize the plight of other women does not diminish our own."
The message of rights for all women clearly disseminated throughout the globe, as political scientist Jeremy Pressman estimated approximately 267,000 people also congregated in international cities like London, Paris, Athens, Dublin and even Erbil, Iraq for marches.
Shrugging off the inherent bias of the word itself, feminism can more or less be defined as the fight for sociopolitical and economic equality across the gender gamut.
Its edifice has undoubtedly evolved over the course of time. The original prime directive focused on concentrated issues like women's suffrage – commonly referred to now as the "first wave." Eventually, feminism also took on property rights and education, growing steadily since the turn of the twentieth century.
When many Americans experienced radical cultural upheaval and introspection in the 1960s, the "second wave" of feminism gained traction. It sought to challenge the politicization of everyday female life and the hegemonic masculine power structure ingrained in the American psyche, a theory popularized by Australian sociologist R.W. Connell.
The second wave brought about action in regards to workplace inequality, domestic violence, marital rape, reproductive rights and a host of other issues.
Despite its positive effects, the wave has also been accused of whitewashing – in other words, failing to better advocate for minorities (other races and LGBTQA).
Such shortcomings bring the conversation into today, the third wave.
As the world becomes further interconnected, feminism, once considered a western movement, has contorted itself to fit a wide set of global and societal parameters. The ideal representation is one described by Gunning: A crowd of faces varying in gender, race and age, all fighting for equality.
However, as any major ideology endures throughout its lifespan, feminism has splintered into multiple sects due to its diaspora.
Many still hold true to its most popular connotation, but others frequently reconfigure the definition to suit their other preconceived beliefs.
The term is sometimes conflated as the woman's attempt at establishing control over males and destroying the prototypical family structure (for better or worse, depending on the perspective). Others find the term insular, pertaining strictly to their own demographic.
It has come to the point where a fair question can be directed toward both proponents and detractors. In the world today, what does feminism seek to achieve?
One of the largest issues in today's political discourse is what to do in regards to a woman's reproductive rights.
In the eyes of the general public, it largely boils down to a debate of when a fetus comes into its own being: "pro-life vs. "pro-choice."
The issue made a notable incision into the fabric of the women's march, as its organizers made a statement just a few days prior to the event reinforcing their position on the issue.
The reply with the most interactions, as of Feb. 15, read as follows: "So what we hear is: 'all are not welcome.' B/c my voice as #prolife #feminist woman matters. I am anti-violence for ALL humans."
Many prominent members of the pro-choice arena made their thoughts known. Some of whom decided to look past the hot-button topic in the name of solidarity, while others disavowed the march and called it unrepresentative of women in America.
Phillips espoused her take on the matter.
I don't feel as if (pro-life groups) were denied the right to protest by the organizers refusing to attach that group's name to the march. I support the organizers in that choice. Because while your opinion can be that life starts at conception so you would not get an abortion, it cannot be that life starts at conception so I cannot get an abortion. At that point, you have just taken away my right to my own body, and I will never stand for or agree with that. I marched for my right to choose, and theirs. So at a march for the rights of women where we carried signs preaching ownership of our uteruses and ovaries, including people who want to enact laws against our right to bodily autonomy and our right to choose, that is the self-defeating action.
Meanwhile, Gunning re-framed the debate in order provide her own insight on the matter.
"Many of the people who consider themselves part of the pro-life movement, I don't really consider to be 'pro-life,'" she said. "Restricting access to reproductive healthcare isn't pro-life, it is anti-choice. It is pro-birth, not pro-life. It's an important distinction because there are plenty of people who feel that abortion is morally wrong, but understand that taking away access to reproductive healthcare is dangerous."
Even after drawing those important distinctions, however, Gunning felt conflicted on the subject of exclusion.
"It's hard for me to give a strong answer on whether it was right to try and exclude people who are anti-choice," she said. "On the one hand, women's reproductive rights are being attacked, and I understand trying to keep out that negative, anti-woman ideology. But I also think that the march was about being inclusive. It's hard to say which way is right."
It is important to note that Planned Parenthood, one of the march's largest sponsors, is ostensibly the crux of the current debate. The nonprofit reproductive healthcare provider has come under fire largely for its performance of abortions, which opponents believe come at the expense of the taxpayer's dollar.
The notion of providing indirect support has resulted in a push to cut federal funding for the organization. However, what some may fail to realize is that the Hyde Amendment, enacted in 1976, prohibits the funneling of federal capital into the practice except for extreme scenarios (rape, incest, endangerment to the mother). There are also state laws to take into account, which vary.
As Planned Parenthood asserted in its most recent annual report, a majority of its services are focused on contraception, STI/STD care and cancer screenings, all of which are extended to both women and men.
A chart provided in Planned Parenthood's 2014-15 annual report shows abortions account for just three percent of its services.
PP's federal aid, which accounts for more than 40 percent of its total revenue, comes in the form of Medicaid reimbursements and Title X grants, both of which assist low-income families.
In the end, slicing the nonprofit's funding would likely result in a large amount of people losing access to the spectrum of affordable care options PP provides to 491 counties annually. 78 percent of its patients hold incomes at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level, according to 2015 estimates.
When taking into account Gunning's view and then absorbing the aforementioned statistics, it appears defunding would indeed affect a sizable population in a negative fashion. That is unless the current administration has a panacea in works, but the details of which are currently undisclosed.
So, with marches all said and done, how can they be parlayed into change?
Salyers stresses for people to continue marching on.
"I strive to keep this momentum going," she said. "To talk about it, post about it – yell about it until I'm blue in the face but most importantly: act on it. Call/write to your senators, organize with your peers, sign petitions and share the facts."
Phillips hopes they can inspire a whole new chain of events, which they already have in some aspects.
"Maybe the Women's March won't result in any political change at all," she said. "But it could inspire something that will result in political change. After all, it started as a post on Facebook in November by two people about needing to stand up, and then it became the largest one-day protest in U.S. history with marches happening on all seven continents, and now there are marches for climate change and LGBTQ rights already scheduled."
Personally, Phillips says her first march will not be her last. She also plans on using a growing medium to help spread the cause.
"A friend and I are also in the process of putting together a political podcast in response to Trump's presidency," she said. "Together we hope to keep speaking out and encourage others to not give up."
Orrson also hopes to use her experience in entertainment as a way to make an impact.
"Carrie Fisher once said, 'Take your broken heart, make it into art,' and that's what I do," she said. "I founded my own comedy team that's based in political humor, focusing on women's and LGBTQ rights. I go to as many women's art events that I can. I'm working on multiple television pilots that focus on female leads. That's how I make change."
These women and all the other people who showed up to fight what they feel is looming oppression are proof that America has entered a new, yet somewhat familiar, age of tribulation.
They all will likely play a key role if a brighter and more equitable future is to emerge.

Year 2015 produced a lot of memories and indelible impacts. Politicians, ministers and Bollywood celebrities' statements of intolerance, returning of awards, and cultural lesson of various so-called religious groups, statement of sensor board chairman, create the temperature ups and down in the various circuits in our country. We try to cover all memorable quotes and talks of the VVIPS and celebs, which had an impact on the heart and the mind of the people of India.

- 'In film industry good friends mean f**k buddies' – Kangana Ranaut
The editors take on these comments
Above influential people commented on vulnerable and sensitive issues of society according to their intellect. Sometimes, these people speak from their heart and create controversies. Khans, Lalu, Amit Shah are epitomized the memorable quotes but controversial remarks.
The memorable quotes and comments of influential people produce vital social and personal impacts. The other people interpret their remarks in their own understanding and then percolate their sentiments. Therefore, a quote may be misquoted and creates outrage. In the democracy, everyone has right to speak, but in a sensible way and without hurting anyone's sentiments.

The red-haired girl did not know where she had been born.
Yet by the age of two or three, she already knew who she was.
"I am me."
In her understanding, that meant she was no one else but herself.
That may have been why that dangerous thing took a liking to her.
It came from somewhere, joined with a human, definitively changed that human, and took no responsibility for its actions. It had no form, was undetectable, and could not be proven to exist, but it had the same type of mind as a human. Or rather, it was nothing but that mind.
She met it before she turned four.
She had moved from a kind person's house, to an orphanage, and then to orphanage after orphanage. Amid it all, she had begun to speak with someone. She would speak into empty air and laugh at a response no one else could hear. Those around her noticed, but they thought she simply had an imaginary friend like many children her age did.
"Who are you?"
"I am no one, but I will become you."
"Eh? But I'm me."
"That too is correct."
"Hm. Then will there be another one of me?"
"Yes. I will be with you."
"Really? Then I won't be lonely anymore!"
"Unfortunately, you will be alone."
"Why? You won't be my friend?"
"I will be you, so I will not be your friend. It is very sad, but you will always be alone. No one will understand you and you will go somewhere far away."
"I don't want that. I don't."
"It has already been decided. You are a special existence. You are more special than a four leafed clover or a male calico cat."
"I'm that special!? I never understood why I was alone, why I have to keep changing homes, why the adults bow down to me, and why it seems like they're making fun of me, but I guess it's because I'm special. …But I don't want to be alone."

Amazon is looking to put Alexa everywhere, and they recently revealed the echo auto ....it looks somewhat similar to what we have seen from Anker in terms of their hidden messages and teaser photos they showed usAmazon Echo Auto
Road mystery product
So what do ou guys think about Amazon's echo auto? And how do you feel about it being similar to Ankers mystery product that they had scrapped?
Personally I would have loved to see a collaboration between Amazon and Anker for this product. But sadly now since Amazon has beaten anker to the market they will have to revise their design and bring something more unique and can do more to the market in order to compete
The Echo Auto doesn't have an FM transmitter, so if you have an older car without an aux port or Bluetooth, you still need an FM transmitter to use it. Incorporating an FM transmitter would be a differentiator. So would a heads-up display.
I'm conflicted now about whether to use the Echo Auto with the FM transmitter I already have or whether to go with the Roav Viva Pro if I can catch a sale. Suppose it makes more sense for me to try the Echo Auto as I already have the transmitter.
It will be available to test later this year for $25(50%off) via invitation
It looks like the Echo Auto can be placed anywhere in your car in case your cigarette lighter outlet isn't in a convenient location. I just hope it has a tacky bottom so it doesn't slide around the dash!
It comes with a dash mount. Not sure how it attaches though.
I signed up , hope I get picked. I'm a huge Amazon Alexa fan/user and I think this would be an improvement over the Roav Viva I have. Itd be nice to control my spotify again.
If you go to the Amazon Alexa app, you can choose your default music app so whenever you play music it will play from that account. Mine is currently set for spotify and any device I use Amazon will play my spotify playlist
Native amazon products will have its advantages. Spotify at current is not avail in Roav. Eg, Software features like calling is still not supported on Sonos One while amazon native devices u can do them. So we have to see how fast Anker reacts n how "nasty" amazon will be in supporting software rollouts for vendors
I do like my Roav at where it is now. seamless. nothing additional on the dash
I'm so confused about all of this. What exactly is this going to be? It's not the Amazon Echo Auto, right? That's specifically made by Amazon. So is this something similar made by Anker/Roav? It's Friday and I need the weekend to come now. LOL!
Oh wait...I just read Anker's comment about this being postponed. Makes more sense now. hahaha. Happy Friday everyone!
You spaz, lol. I think you need a vacation haha
You have now idea...Christmas break cannot come soon enough. We're locking ourselves in and having a staycation! WOO!

Marine surveying is a complicated company and there will likely be many facets of the survey that will seem a bit strange to the possible boat purchaser. The reefs provide fish and coral in a dazzling selection of colours. Snorkelling is an activity that could be enjoyed by everyone. Mangrove kayaking provides you with the chance to see wildlife up close. To make sure that you've got an ideal fishing or sailing experience, foul weather clothing is made with just the best quality of materials. It is actually is going to be based on which one will function best for the sort of boat which you may have. In addition, there are fishing boats from Asia.
As there are many beautiful sandy stretches you may find here, it truly is difficult to specify which ones the ideal. Vinyl fabrics are also a less expensive choice for customers seeking the strongest fabric available. Decorative Marine upholstery fabric has become the most popular choice of consumers today because it's offered in a huge range of colors and textures.
The Supreme Strategy to Marine Umbrellas
Should you be a Marine Service Provider, you should make certain you can be reached. Many businesses are listed on the web to ensure it is simple and convenient for you. You ought to expect exactly the same from any organization you decide to partner with. Of course nowadays, the automobile business is being roiled by production overcapacity problems, a worldwide credit crisis and substantial fuel costs. In regards to launching a tiny marine cleaning service small business there's a good deal more to it than just demographic small business research. You are likewise likely to need to be aware of the kinds of customers offered and at what price-point they may partake in your expert services. In addition, there are other products which don't consist of wax in their fiberglass restoration system.
In spite of the fact that most patio furniture may appear the very same, Sunbrella really isn't the normal collection. There's a rustic coffee shop where it's possible to secure some refreshments but it's not always open. There's a tiny general shop, grocery and bakery.
Marine Umbrellas Secrets
The grounds say this is a particular place. This seaside park is situated in the center of the Myrtle Beach. It's a park that the entire family may enjoy. The beach is truly a delightful area to have a vacation. Actually, Red Beach is believed to be among the greatest nudist beaches on earth by established news agencies like Yahoo Travel. It's likewise thought of as a paradise for snorkelers.
Well, the selection of accommodation depends on your likings and price range. The thought of sketching out and measuring each individual part of a tremendous ship on paper is tough to even consider. It is a location where the pace slows and visitors may enjoy the essential things in everyday living. The perfect time to see Lakshadweep is October to May. Perhaps you will discover that a few places don't serve alcohol in any way. There is a variety of places throughout the yacht charter region to change money. The absolute most comfortable spot to have a mooring is merely south of a little cargo dock.

Before we start, just a note to say that 1) I have a Google Alert in for James Marsters and this was one this morning and 2) this meme is aimed at teenagers or similar type young people – 'who would you take home to meet your parents', that type of thing.
I did find this girl's answers illuminating, mostly for her mixture of young and mature celebs and how she reacts to them, and her mother!
and lastly 3) some of my choices will also reflect my generation, I suspect, as I wouldn't call such admiration 'a crush' anymore! I have based my list on who I would go to see or watch the most on TV or film. Also I have included only living actors – leaving out Steve McQueen and the late great Stanley Baker, among others.
List ten celebrity crushes and then answer the questions under the cut.
1. James Marsters – he is my No 1, the rest in no particular order.
2. Sean Pertwee
3. Vincent D'Onofrio
4. David McCallum – he was Illya before he was Ducky!
5. William Peterson
6. David Tennant
7. Ewan McGregor
8. Hugh Jackman
9. Gary Sinese
10. Ray Stevenson
So what do you like most about 2?
His voice
If you could do anything with 4, what would it be?
Talk about his long career in film and TV
Who would you choose between 5 and 7?
That's a toughie! 5 by a very short head
Out of a ten, how much would you rate 1?
What do you find most attractive about 1?
Everything – fabulous actor, great to look at and funny…
If you could go out with 3, what type of date would you go on?
A long, casual dinner, so I could listen to him for hours
If 8 was a type of season, which season would it be?
Why is 10 not higher up your list?
As good an actor as he is, others just have more charisma
So what does 10 have to do to be brought higher up?
Keep getting good roles that allow his talents to shine
What would the ideal situation be for you for 2 and 4?
Together? A day cruise on a river perhaps
Which two people would you want to be stuck with on a desert island?
James and Ewan – both have travelled a lot and can sing!
Marry, shag or kiss - 4, 6, 8?
4 Kiss
6 shag
8 shag – not marrying anyone
What do you hate most about 7?
How he shows the whites of his eyes such a lot!
Have you ever thought how you'll react when you meet 3?
Probably melt into 'fangirl'!
Have you seen 1 and 2 together on TV before?
They have never been on together but I can hope
Have you ever dreamt about 6?
Who would you take to a prom/ball with you?
Prom? Oh please! Don't know – who can dance best?
Cuddle, glomp, or kiss 1, 3, 5?
1 kiss
3 cuddle
5 cuddle [as I have no idea what 'glomp' is]
If you could give anything to 10, what would it be?
A damn good film role
Out of all of them - who would you:
Kick? Don't want to kick any of them!
Kiss? James
Pinch cheek? I don't pinch cheeks, way too mumsy
Run away with? James
Act like an idiot with? David Tennant
Cry on? Vincent
Take to see your parents? I'll ignore this one
Cross dress with? What a hoot! David T or Ewan
Swap lives with for a day? James
Interesting that three are Scots and only four are American. I wouldn't necessarily want to fuck all of them either – I rather listen to most of them as they lead interesting lives but there are five on my F list!! Can you guess who??

What makes an item of clothing iconic?
'Is fashion modern?' is a new exhibition that will take place in New York next month that includes an array of iconic typologies over the past century including the great symbol of Irish style, The Aran Geansaí. Michelle Millar Fisher who is one of the curators from MoMa New York exhibition, joined Sean Rocks on Arena to tell him all about the exhibition and to describe the title.
"I'd say it's an open ended question. So fashion is definitely modern in a sense that it embodies both timelessness and temporality. We have 111 different typologies, as we say they really range. They will embody a little bit of both of those things so, they are in some ways connected to modernity."
Michele told Sean that she had done all the fighting for the Aran Jumper to be on display as it was something that was very close to heart seeing as she grew up in Scotland and has many of them, although has never knitted one herself.
"Everybody on the curatorial team loved it but it does hold a very special place in my heart. The Arann Islands is certainly the whirl spring and the genesis in the most inconsequential way of the Aran Jumper, or the Geansaí I guess as you'd call it. I think it's very international. I think it's one of those items we ended up turning into a humble masterpiece. It's not necessarily the most expensive on the list but it's definitely a design and a fashion icon I think from the mid-century onwards."
Michele said that The Aran Sweater was on the Arann Islands for centuries before Muriel Gahan, a craft and design expert and enthusiast, popularised it into a fashionable piece. She told Seán that the film industry had also contributed to its fame.
"I think actually as many fashion items have been popularised, it was also popularised through film through actresses and actors. Steve McQueen, there's an iconic shot of him in the Thomas Crown Affair for example and he's wearing the Aran jersey. Ruth Kelly wore one too so these aspirational figures took it on as part of the lexicon of mid-century fashion. That very, very quickly made sure that people saw it and wanted to own one and wear one too."
'Is fashion modern?' opens at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on the 1st of October

Who had the worst week in Washington?
Groucho Marx once said he didn't want to belong to any club that would accept him as a member.
Somewhere, Sen. Bob Menendez is nodding his head. That's because this past week the New Jersey Democrat joined a club no politician wants to be in: He became one of only 12 U.S. senators to be charged with a crime while serving in the world's greatest deliberative body.
At issue is Menendez's relationship with Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida eye doctor. The Justice Department alleges — in a 14-count indictment that came down Wednesday — that the lawmaker intervened repeatedly on Melgen's behalf in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to Menendez and other interests tied to him. That intervention included wading into a port dispute in the Dominican Republic and helping to obtain visas to the United States for three of Melgen's girlfriends.
Menendez insists that there was absolutely no quid pro quo at work in his relationship with Melgen. "I'm angry and ready to fight," the senator said at a news conference Wednesday night responding to the corruption charges.
That's a good thing, since the case against him is daunting — a 68-page charging document provides granular detail on just what the senator allegedly received from Salomon. It says the gifts included 19 free rides on private jets for Menendez and guests, long weekends to visit Melgen in Florida and the Dominican Republic, and, oh yeah, a $600,000 super PAC donation earmarked to help to reelect Menendez in 2012.
In court, Menendez is innocent until proven guilty. But in politics, there's no such thing as a presumption of innocence, and the news — which broke on April Fools' Day — is nothing short of a total disaster for him.
Bob Menendez, for your new membership in the Senate's least-distinguished club, you had the worst week in Washington. Congrats, or something.
