Discuss Your Plan with an Academic Advisor
Once you have narrowed down your choices to a program or two, meet with your academic advisor or your major advisor to identify the courses you wish to take abroad that will fit your personal and academic goals. To give you the most freedom of choosing a program, you can plan to take only free elective credit abroad, though by limiting your search you can earn credit in your major or minor, to fulfill General Education requirements, pluralism and diversity, TALA, foreign language requirements, etc. Along with your advisor, map out your course work to stay on track to graduate.
Research Program Options and Funding Opportunities
Talk with your friends and professors who have study abroad knowledge. You can start to see your options at these links. If you have decided and are ready, just click APPLY NOW!
o Search & apply to CSI programs - https://www.csi.cuny.edu/campus-life/student-services/center-global-engagement/study-abroad
o Search CUNY programs - https://www1.cuny.edu/sites/global/students/programs/
o Search CCIS programs - https://www.ccisabroad.org/
If you have not found a program that suits you from the sites above, you can check out programs on the Internet. While not always necessary, it is best/easiest to find programs that have US college sponsors, that will make getting credit at CSI easier. Some excellent websites are:
• GoAbroad.com
• IIE Passport
• Studyabroad.com
• Browse the Internet. Search "study abroad" and the topic and/or region you're interested in exploring.
Get a Passport!
Apply now if you do not have a passport – in Summer 2022, the US St Dept says it now may take almost 3 months (8 -11 WEEKS) to get a US passport. Expedited passports take 5 - 7 weeks. Please apply ASAP as needed! If you already have a passport, check to see that it is valid for at least 6 months after you return from abroad, and that it has blank pages for visas. Otherwise, you must obtain a new passport or renew your passport. Learn more and apply for a passport at the U.S. Department of State website here.
Apply for Scholarships and Plan Your Financial Aid
Once you know the program(s) of interest, compare all program costs including tuition and fees or any program cost you might pay, housing, meals, international and local transportation, visas, personal expenses, etc., and create a budget for the total cost of your program. Program costs can vary by location and duration, but financial aid and scholarships can offset a substantial part of these costs. Research scholarships and financial aid information. Click SCHOLARSHIPS on the CSI study abroad homepage here – https://www.csi.cuny.edu/campus-life/student-services/center-global-engagement/study-abroad . Keep in mind all scholarship application deadlines – they are often earlier than study abroad program application deadlines.
If your plan to use financial aid, tell your student abroad advisor. Your study abroad advisor will provide you an Overseas Expense Verification that breaks down all costs for the program you will attend, and you then share that with the financial aid advisor when you meet with them. Visit a CSI financial aid advisor to know how your current aid applies and how to obtain additional aid. Identify scholarships and apply early. Make sure to complete your FAFSA by the Priority Deadline - January 31st Every Year - for assistance.

Race and Ethnicity Abroad
Study abroad offers you the unique and exciting opportunity to learn about and interact with people of different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. In most cases, your interaction with host nationals will be among the most rewarding aspects of your experience abroad.
In some situations, however, your race, ethnicity or other identity anchors may be read or interpreted differently than you are accustomed to in the U.S. You may also encounter different cultural norms related to race and minority status, where racism and other forms of discrimination are performed, viewed, and addressed differently than you are used to.
You may find that your racial or ethnic identity is seen in a new way. Understanding how cultural differences can impact perceptions of race, ethnicity, and identity in an international context is an important component of your preparation to study abroad.
From your hair color to your passport nationality, differences in perceptions about your race, ethnicity, or other identity in the U.S. and in your host culture, may likely affect your experiences. Some students may find themselves in a country where they are part of the majority race or ethnicity for the first time in their life, whereas others may find themselves as the minority for the first time. These interactions and differences in perception could result in a variety of potentially uncomfortable experiences, which may include:
Additional attention and possible staring
Fetishization and Objectification
Questioning from locals about where you're from
Disbelief that you are American or reversely, stereotyping you as American
Possible discrimination or hurtful comments
Safety concerns (Note: if you are feeling unsafe while abroad, contact local authorities, your program provider, and/or the Center for Global Engagement)
As preparation for these potential experiences, we encourage you to chat with your study abroad advisors, and other on-campus faculty and advisors. To help facilitate these conversations, we recommend considering some of these questions:
How might I be perceived in my host country?
Is it common for students of my race or ethnicity to experience discrimination in the country I'm studying in? Who can I talk to about it if I do?
What is the history of ethnic or racial tension in the country? Is the situation currently hostile to members of a minority race, majority race, or particular ethnicity or religion?
Are issues of racism/ethnic discrimination influenced by immigration in my host country? How do immigration concerns fuel racial tensions at home or in my host country?
Are there laws in the host country governing race relations? Ethnic relations? What protections are offered to ethnic or racial minorities?

Ability and Accessibility Abroad
Supporting Students with Accommodation Needs
The CSI Center for Global Engagement encourages all students who meet program eligibility requirements to study abroad as part of their degree. If you want to study abroad and anticipate barriers to participation due to a disability or health concern, you should discuss your needs and concerns with a Study Abroad Advisor. Your advisor can:
Coordinate with you, the Center for Student Accessibility (CSA), and program staff abroad to arrange reasonable accommodations that will meet your accommodation needs.
Work closely with you and your CSA counselor to identify program options that match your interests and fit your accommodation needs.
Provide additional resources based on your needs.
Although the CSI Center for Global Engagement cannot guarantee that any or all our program sites can accommodate your specific needs, we will do our best to work with you in finding options. Please visit us and speak with a Study Abroad Advisor about programs that interest you.
Students should be prepared for a difference in how the concept of "disability" and "accessibility" may be culturally defined abroad. Local attitudes towards different individuals with disabilities and levels of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country.

Heritage Seekers (going to ancestral homelands)
Many students choose to study abroad to learn more about their ancestry — these students are known as heritage seekers. The Institute of International Education has coined the term "heritage seeker" as a student who is drawn to study abroad in a particular country and culture "not because it is unfamiliar and new, but rather because it is somewhat familiar."
The type of experience you will have abroad as a heritage seeker will be unique. Some students come home feeling very connected to their ancestral roots, while others return feeling more appreciative of their American roots. Either way, going abroad will give you a chance to learn more about your ancestral history and the culture today firsthand.
Going to your ancestral homeland can be a very emotional experience because you are choosing the location not just for the academics, but for personal reasons as well. Some students will be able to meet with relatives, while others will be connecting with their ancestral history or the language of their family through coursework. Many students find that local community members have high expectations regarding the cultural knowledge and linguistic capabilities of heritage seeking students.
Heritage seekers, at times, have idealized views of their ancestral homes, so it is important to go into the country with an open mind. You may be welcomed by the local community, but still considered an outsider. Often in the U.S., people will ask about your ancestral background and someone will reply, "I'm Chinese and Thai." or " I'm Irish, French, and German.", but abroad, you may likely be seen as an American.
Some Things to Consider:
How am I perceived in the US?
How will I be perceived in my destination country?
How should I react if I find something to be offensive?
How will it be if I become part of the majority abroad?
How will I handle it if relatives ask for money or other favors while I am there?
Will there be other heritage students in my program?
Will I be studying in the country my parents are from, perhaps not having ever been there before, and perhaps not speaking the language?
How might other parts of my identity affect my experience?

Jewish Students Abroad
Below are some resources to utilize for our Jewish students, particularly those who need a kosher experience when studying abroad. This is just a start on the resources available. Contact your advisor for program-specific information.

@KahalAbroad
Check out KAHAL's Facebook page HERE.
Another source for finding out about kosher options abroad is Chabad.org, a global organization with more than 3,500 institutions worldwide. Often times, the local Chabad institution will have its own restaurant or meals and will usually have a page on its site dedicated to keeping kosher in that locale.
As the largest Jewish student organization in the world, Hillel builds connections with emerging adults at more than 550 colleges and universities in North America and inspires them to direct their own path. During their formative college years, students are challenged to explore, experience, and create vibrant Jewish lives. Hillel also has a Hillel Scholarships and Jewish Scholarships Portal. There are more than 50 Hillels all over the world.
Jewish students may also want to explore opportunities offered by Masa. That can include finding funding to attend certain programs abroad.
In addition, we encourage you to seek guidance and support at CSI from:
CSI Hillel Club
Hillel's mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel seeks to inspire every Jewish student to make an enduring commitment to meaningful Jewish life and community. As members of the Multi-Faith Center at the College of Staten Island, we welcome the entire campus community and strive to be valuable partners in CSI's vibrant and diverse student experience. As a Jewish organization on Staten Island, we are committed and collaborative partners in the community, helping to make Staten Island a great place to live, work, and study.

Religion and Spirituality Abroad
Religion is an important aspect of many cultures, and study abroad can expose you to a variety of different belief systems. Whether you practice a religion or not, it is important to understand your beliefs in the context of your future host country's religious culture and the role religion plays in daily life.
We recommend these tips when abroad:
Research your destination's religious tolerance levels.
If you plan to worship abroad, research availability of worship locations for your faith and the safety of these locations.
Use the local religion as a lens to the local culture. Some cultures may welcome you to attend local services, even if you do not believe in the faith.
Know the local laws concerning religion and, especially, as this relates to anything that may appear to be proselytizing. In some cultures, for instance, even a religious necklace could be considered proselytizing.
Demonstrate respect- wear appropriate attire, show proper respect to icons, etc. If you do not know what is appropriate, ask.

Tips for First Generation students Global Travel Benefits - Know Without Borders
Women make up the majority of U.S. college study abroad students, accounting for up to 65+% of U.S. students abroad annually. Though many women have successful experiences abroad each year, women travelers may face greater obstacles when traveling due to differences in their host country's cultural values, attitudes, and behaviors toward women.
It is important to understand your host country's gender norms to help set yourself up for success. Many foreigners' perceptions of American women, especially, are influenced by media portrayals. The way you dress or act abroad can reinforce or detract from these stereotypes. Remember that your dress and body language may be commonplace in the U.S. but, in your future host country, your actions may draw unwanted attention. You may find that cultural norms in the U.S. are more liberal or allow for more informality, than many host countries that may be more conservative or formal, or tradition-bound.
Talk with your Study Abroad Advisor and do research before you go to gain a better understanding of your host country. In preparation for your time abroad, consider some of these safety tips:
Review your host country's women-specific laws. In some countries, women do not have the same rights or may be held accountable even when they are the victim of a crime.
Maintain situational awareness at all times.
Understand cultural norms for attire, body language, behavior, and friendship.
Use the buddy system whenever possible.

LGBTQ+ Resources for Study Abroad
The Center for Global Engagement at CSI is committed to nondiscrimination, diversity, and inclusion to support you and all students (and faculty and staff) through our services, activities, and programs. In that spirit of inclusive excellence, we share here LGBTQ+ information and resources that can be useful for you and all students (and faculty and staff) when learning about global culture and travel and when participating in study abroad programs.
Here are at least 10 Reasons Why LGBTQ+ Students Should Study Abroad – written by a Carleton College student some years ago
One of the main challenges all students may face when studying abroad entails adjusting to the cultural norms in each country abroad. Likewise, one of the main challenges LGBTQ+ students may face entails adjusting to the LGBTQ+ cultural norms in each country abroad. Of course, being aware of the legal LGBTQ+ landscape in a country is imperative. Several resources listed below describe the legal and cultural LGBTQ+ climate in other countries.
Some cultures may not recognize LGBTQ+ identities in the same way as we've come to in the
U.S. Or perhaps they'll use different words to describe similar concepts. At times, this may result in a seeming invalidation of U.S. perspectives on LGBTQ+ topics, which can be disheartening for LGBTQ+ students that are likely to have had similar experiences with outright homophobia and transphobia in the U.S.
A more open society will be more progressive about LGBTQ+ rights than a less tolerant society, however students can expect to have more culturally nuanced experiences. The Fa'afafine community in American Samoa, identifying themselves as third-gender, provides a concrete example of how gender identity is approached very differently in another culture.
One unexpected cultural phenomenon some students have experienced has to do with studying abroad in collective societies. Since the U.S. is a very individualistic society, individual expression is valued, whereas in many collective societies, individual expression is more frowned upon. A student with an American cultural background may initially perceive a lack of expressive diversity in the culture, when in reality this expression ties greatly to the collective culture nature of the society. In Asia, for example, there is a great emphasis in the culture on the collective and the group, as opposed to the focus on the individual in the U.S. Similarly, U.S. culture can often generally be seen more informal, when compared to cultures in many
countries across the globe, where traditions, formality, and more rigid societal structures seem to be more fixed and less fluid. Where possible, try to learn about the linguistic and conceptual differences between LGBTQ+ topics in the U.S. and in the culture of your chosen study abroad location.
Studying abroad while transgender or non-binary might present its own challenges, but we encourage you to take the leap. No matter where you are in your transition, experiencing another country and culture can have a huge impact on your life. While studying abroad you will have the space to be yourself and further explore how you identify in the world. There may also be opportunities to connect with other gender diverse people that can give you insight into their unique experiences. With some preparation, trans and non-binary students can have a
life-changing experience. We encourage you to reach out to us and start exploring where you might study abroad.
Safety concerns for LGBTQ+ students will vary from country to country and city to city. Homophobia and transphobia are not unique to any country, but rates of violence against LGBTQ+ individuals should be factored into your research of programs that interest you. It is important for you to be aware of any legislation restricting gender presentation and/or sexual activity among same-gender individuals in your countries of interest.
The legal status of same-gender marriage and sex are often metrics used to judge the openness of a society. You are encouraged to learn and explore the social climate and local conditions of your chosen country of interest using the recourses links below and to ask questions about LGBTQ+ safety abroad issues with your Study Abroad Advisor. If your Advisor does not know the answers, they will be sure to find resources that can help answer questions and concerns you may have.
According to their website, the ILGA – the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association – is the world federation of national and local organizations dedicated to achieving equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people. The organization offers maps and sexual orientation laws for countries the world over, in addition to other resources and data, and is a strong resource for up-to-date information.
Preparing for study abroad
Rather than trying to narrow down a possible program list based on LGBTQ+-friendly locations, consider first looking at all programs and think about and work with your Study Abroad Advisor to decide what experience is best for you, given your goals and expectations
Onsite staff will provide host-country information to help students acclimate to life abroad. Your Study Abroad Advisor will work with onsite staff to help ensure they have LGBTQ+ knowledge and can provide support, or at least can direct you to resources that
may be available. Some onsite staff may understand the U.S. context that students bring with them.
Your Study Abroad Advisor most importantly wants to support your wishes. Please let your advisor know whether you would like to be out to colleagues, host families, or students or if you would like to keep your identities private.
Please let your Study Abroad Advisor know which gender you would prefer to have for roommates where possible. Also, many programs may allow for single-accommodation housing if you so choose.
Use resource links below to investigate and understand the LGBTQ+ climate of the foreign countries you are considering.
Feel free to ask questions about this and more to your Study Abroad Advisor

Sympathy, Said the Shark: Shooting in POV
Writer, director and editor Devin Lawrence says that when he set out to make Sympathy, Said the Shark he'd already gone through two projects which had stalled out due to lack of financing, so he decided he had to come up with something where "money can no longer be the ultimate road block." The resulting project was shot in 14 days and primarily in one location, but it was by no means a simple project to make as much of it was shot using a POV rig built around the Blackmagic Pocket Camera.

A Breakdown of the Special Effects in The Grand Budapest Hotel
It's no surprise that Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel was a technically complicated production, and a video posted this week by VFX house Look Effects, Inc. breaks down exactly how complex putting the movie together was. In a nearly-five-minute reel that can't be embedded (you should definitely take a look here), a variety of post-production work is highlighted, from color correction of the typically fastidiously coordinated hotel to the mechanics of the dizzying climactic downhill mountain chase. There are surprises big and small, including the amount of physical "snow" used on-set (thereby avoiding the usual hazy look of CGI […]

Besides the new URSA and Studio camera announcements, Blackmagic announced some new updates to their popular coloring software DaVinci Resolve.

In previous versions the editing area of Resolve was more for making tweaks to an ingested timeline to correct any errors or drop in footage that didn't import properly. Now it's aiming to be a full fledged editor. The latest version adds a bunch of features you'd find in most NLEs – lots of timeline trimming options and keyboard controls, […]

"Groundbreaking Work Often Sits at the Boundaries of Technology": Sound Designer Johnnie Burn on Under The Skin
It's unlikely many films released this year will lean as heavily on sound design for their overall impact as Jonathan Glazer's Under The Skin, a loose adaptation of Michel Faber's 2000 novel of the same name. The director's long-awaited follow-up to 2004's Birth is a warped, haunting melange of sci-fi and cinema vérité which reinvents Hollywood siren Scarlett Johansson as a blank-eyed, cold-hearted alien with a cut-glass English accent. The alien shores up in the Scottish highlands and embarks on an implacable quest which involves cruising around in a white van, looking for hapless local men to "seduce." Under The […]

Magic Bullet Looks has become popular with filmmakers who want to do a quick color grade for a project but don't have the time – or the skill – to use a tool like DaVinci Resolve.

Irish snag two individual wins
Observer Sports Staff | Monday, October 13, 2014
Notre Dame had 18 current or former team members in action over the weekend at the North American Cup in Portland, Oregon. In all, the Irish tallied two wins and three other top-10 finishes.
Friday, Irish alum Mariel Zagunis won the Division 1 women's saber competition, while freshman Francesca Russo finished tied for third. That same day, three Irish freshman competed in Division 1 men's saber. Ian Jones, Jonathan Fitzgerald and Jonah Shainberg finished 19th, 20th and 22nd, respectively.
On the second day of the event, the Irish had current or former team members competing in Division 1 women's epee, Division 1 men's foil and Division 2 women's foil. Notre Dame alums, Kelley Hurley and Courtney Hurley finished in the top ten in Division 1 Women's Epee. Kelley took second, while Courtney finished seventh. Meanwhile, senior Ashley Severson finished eighth and senior Nicole Ameli placed 23rd.
In the men's foil, sophomore Hazem Khazbak came in 28th place, while fellow sophomore John Crumpler came in just behind at 32nd. Notre Dame's lone competitor in Division 2 women's foil was freshman Erin Dietsche, who took seventh place.
Sunday saw four Irish women in action in Division 1 women's foil. Senior Madison Zeiss won the division's bracket, while junior Nicole McKee finished 25th and freshmen Zoe Loh and Dietsche took 49th and 72nd, respectively.
Overall, several Irish team members had the opportunity to compete prior to a season that will feature individual competitions through November and December, along with exhibitions against Northwestern and Ohio State.
In the weekend ahead, a few members of the Irish will compete in the Men's Foil Senior World Cup in San Francisco and the Women's Foil Senior World Cup in Cancun, Mexico. Khazbak will be one of the Notre Dame men participating, while the Irish will have Zeiss, McKee and junior Lee Keifer on the women's side.
Both competitions will get underway Friday and conclude on Saturday.

LONDON (Reuters) - Gold funds took three of the top five spots for best-performing funds in November, while special situations, high yield, private equity, UK, and Asia funds made up the bottom five, funds data company Lipper said.
Legg Mason Japan Equity was the top fund for the month, returning 22.47 percent, while Melchior Pan-Asian Advantage, which invests in all the region's markets aside from Japan, was bottom of a universe of 1,944 investment funds with losses of 38.54 percent, the data showed.
"November had three clear themes: Japan, Gold and Bonds," said Richard Ramyar, Lipper's Head of Research for the UK.
"Whatever the problems facing aggregate Japanese equity markets, Japan funds have had a healthy habit of keeping the flame burning for those who were again waiting for a Japanese renaissance," he said.
BlackRock Gold & General was up 21.13 percent, while Investec Global Gold and Smith & Williamson Global Gold & Resources returned 16.36 percent and 16.09 percent respectively.
Gold rallied during November to more than $820 an ounce, up from about $720 an ounce.
"However much gold has been hammered since breaking to new heights, it will always be in deep in our psyches as the ultimate safe haven and will continue to crop up in the top tables during times of stress.
"Bonds are another other safe haven ... Losses in the equity markets will continue to drive bond funds' relative overperformance until confidence returns," Ramyar said.
Japanese Smaller Companies funds was top performing group of funds, with an average return of 11.05 percent, though the average fund in the sector lost 21.34 percent in the year to end-November.
Global Bond Funds made an average return of 4.99 percent, and UK Gilt Funds were up 4.41 percent.
As a group, UK smaller companies funds were the worst performers for the second month running, with losses of 5.03 percent, while Technology & Telecoms funds were second worst with losses of 4.45 percent.
Of the 31 sectors, 14 made positive returns in the month and 15 made losses. Both Cautious Managed and Balanced Managed funds broke even for the month.

What is the Routing Number?
A routing number identifies the financial institution and the branch to which a payment item is directed. Along with the account number, it is essential for delivering payments through the clearing system.
In Canada, there are two formats for routing numbers:
EFT Routing Number
An Electronic Fund Transactions (EFT) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number, preceded by a "leading zero".
Example : 0XXXYYYYY
0 : Leading zero
YYY : Institution Number
XXXXX : Branch Number
The electronic routing number is used for routing electronic payment items, such as direct deposits and wire transfers.
MICR Number (Transit Number)
MICR Numbers or widely known as Transit Numbers are used in cheques processing. It appears on the bottom of negotiable instruments such as checks identifying the financial institution on which it was drawn.
A paper (MICR) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number. It is encoded using magnetic ink on paper payment items (such as cheques).
Example : XXXXX-YYY
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition.

Sculptures Revealing a Fashion Designer's Creative Process
Fashion & BeautyIn Pictures
Marie Valognes x ROBERTS | WOODCourtesy of ROBERTS | WOOD
Using discarded pattern paper, fabric samples and other objects found in her studio, Marie Valognes' constructions capture ROBERTS | WOOD's A/W18 collection in a whole new light
TextJack Moss
There has a been a growing tendency among young designers to do away with the traditional runway show completely. Whether choosing impressively realised presentations, intimate showings for editors behind closed doors or one-off printed publications as alternative ways to communicate their work, it is an approach both imaginative and pragmatic.
Nottingham-born, London-based Katie Roberts-Wood is one such designer. For her latest collection under eponymous label ROBERTS | WOOD, Autumn/Winter 2018, she called upon three image-makers, in lieu of a show, to interpret her clothing in a way entirely of their choosing: Bex Day, a photographer, undertook a live photoshoot; the collective Crown and Owls imagined an immersive, multi-sensory "world"; and Marie Valognes, known for her whimsical approach to sculpture under the pseudonym 'mise en', created pieces inspired by Roberts-Woods' approach to the creative process.
7Marie Valognes x ROBERTS | WOOD
"For a while now we've been experimenting with different things, whether it's an installation, or presentations, or catwalk shows before that," Roberts-Wood tells AnOther. "Getting into that trap of a standard way of showing doesn't really interest me – I'd rather push trying different things. I think it can feel quite restricting if you get into this cycle of having to show in a certain way every season."
Perhaps the most interesting – or at least obscure, in that the final images do not feature a single garment – are the sculptures by Valognes, who Roberts-Wood discovered via Instagram. Valognes' pieces – which often use disparate items (previous creations have used a Turkish sausage, marker pens, vegetables, plastic bags and toilet paper, among other things) – are idiosyncratic interpretations of what she sees around her.
Often, her sculptures find their starting point in looks from fashion shows – Valognes created such a series for AnOther – where the marabou trim of a Prada outfit might be made from hay, or the ruffles of a Molly Goddard gown are evoked in the undone blue netting of a shower poof. Her work delights in the freedom of pure association. "I tend to make visual connections when looking at forms," she previously told AnOther. "They sort of bounce off each other."
Here, though, Valognes took an altogether more abstract approach – invited into the ROBERTS | WOOD studio, she was fascinated not with the final garments but the oftentimes intricate processes behind them. There, she and and Roberts-Wood found common ground – the latter, who studied medicine for ten years before undertaking an MA at London's Royal College of Art, relishes in an experimental, trial-and-error approach (her graduate collection was made with the challenge that it should not contain a single seam). "I don't tend to start out with a theme or a moodboard or anything," Roberts-Wood says. "I think part of that is my background – I wasn't actually trained in design, so I feel like I missed out on that 'the way you're supposed to put a collection together' thing."
The result is a series of sculptures that become a portrait of a designer's creative process. Pleats of fabric, crumpled pieces of pattern paper or folds of tulle are delicately balanced on polystyrene balls or shards of concrete to become visualisations of Roberts-Wood's mind, and studio, at work. "I feel like it took a bit of a life of its own which is what I was hoping for; I was hoping people would run with it," Roberts-Wood says. "I think she certainly recognised the really important things in the process about like making and the experimentation but visually took it in her own direction, and presented them in this really different way."
The A/W18 collection itself, which Roberts-Wood and her team are currently finishing the production run for, for stores that include London's Dover Street Market, became a study in the subversive power of cuteness. The designer was initially delighted by iridescent fabrics she found, which reminded of the surreal colours found in nature ("we call one the jellyfish dress," she says). "I was really interested in the idea, especially with using ruffles and bows and things, of these traditionally cute emblems as a protective, evolutionary mechanism – how it can be an advantage either in nature or in life."
In fact, the title of the collection, Kinderschema, came directly from this phenomenon. "It's like the set of characteristics that you might find in a baby animal, like a puppy. They have this set of features, like really big eyes or big ears, and it's actually a mechanism that they're using to make sure they're protected," she says. "I just like this idea that it's slightly… manipulative."


If you couldn't use aleppo pepper or paprika in a recipe due to allergies, what would you use instead? Specifically, I am looking forward to making Rivka's Mujaddara, ASAP.
This recipe is very similar to Claudia Roden's (by way of Paula Wolfert - both fantastic sources for Middle Eastern cooking, btw) recipe for 'Megadarra'. I've made hers many times, because, as drbabs said, the ingredients are almost always on hand and it's delicious with so many things.
I wouldn't worry about the aleppo/hot paprika (I assume the allergy would be to any hot red pepper, not just those variants?) This is an ancient dish that no two cooks make exactly alike anyway - and it's very forgiving. I've used basmati, jasmine or plain old Carolina rice, and change up the yogurt spices depending on what I'm serving it with - I sometimes even do it super simply, with just some garlic, lemon and mint. I love aleppo and paprika, but I think your sauce will still be quite tasty without it.
I literally threw that dish together with what I had in the pantry, freezer and refrigerator, and it's so good that you can even be missing some ingredients and it will still be wonderful. So you could just leave it out and you'll still love it. Having said that, I think grains of paradise would be a nice substitute.
If you use white pepper, make sure it is really fresh; ideally, buy white peppercorns and grind just before use. Makes a huge difference.
I would use white pepper, but start with half what the recipe asks for, I find that often it ends up being more intense than I would like. or add part of a shallot, it won't be the same, but it will be good.
When Columbus sailed to America, he was looking for pepper. What he found that ended up being called "pepper" was not related... Those are the ones you are avoiding, in the Capsicum family. So to get the flavor lift, go back to the piper nigrum, especially one of the blends of black, white and green.
How do you make pepper?

Q: Alter 'DisplayModeProvider.Instance.Modes' collection in ASP.NET 4 WebForms? Is it possible to alter the 'DisplayModeProvider.Instance.Modes' collection in ASP.NET 4 WebForms? I want to alter the behaviour of 'Microsoft.AspNet.FriendlyUrls' to only redirect to a '.mobile' version of a page if the user agent contains 'iPhone'. I was given this code by Scott Hanselman but I can't get it working in ASP.NET 4 WebForms.
Placed in 'Application_Start'.
DisplayModeProvider.Instance.Modes.Insert(0, new DefaultDisplayMode("iPhone")

});

Any help is much appreciated!

A: I've been informed by a higher power that this is not possible with WebForms. My answer to this was to revisit my previous question which I have now solved...

Q: Do ListAdapters need to be released, or is that handled automatically? When a user selects an item in a ListView, I display a new list based on their selection using a new ListAdapter in the same activity.  Do I need to release the previous ListAdapter, or will the ListView handle that automatically?
I'm allocating ListAdapters like this:
            ListAdapter adapter=new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
                R.layout.row, tempCursor,
                new String[] {"name"},
                new int[] {R.id.name});

        setListAdapter(adapter);

A: ListView will take care of releasing the previous adapter automagically. You do not need to worry about it.

A: I have a similar situation in an Android activity where the activity loads a new ListAdapter based on selected checkboxes in the activity. I simply declare a new ListAdapter and set it to be the current one and it works, I do not need to "release" or do anything with the existing one.
public void onClick(View v)
{
    populateCheckedMembers();
    adapter = new MemberAdapter(this, R.layout.members_row, checkedMembers);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

Ralph Lauren Corp. is "back on offense," CEO Patrice Louvet told Wall Street analysts Thursday in a third-quarter earnings call detailing plans to add stores across the globe.
In a Nutshell: The heritage clothing company is now "fundamentally healthier than it was two years ago" after investments that "repositioned" the business to attract younger and less price-sensitive shoppers and expand distribution, Louvet said.
The company is leaning on "multiple engines for growth," including undeveloped categories such as outerwear, growing digital, and opening U.S. stores, which "we haven't done in almost a decade," the French American executive said.
Ralph Lauren opened 40 new global stores and concessions in the third quarter, including the "first European flagship opening since 2010 in Milan, with early performance beating our plans by double digits," Louvet said. Brick-and-mortar investments heavily focused on Asia and Mainland China, he added.
The company is planning four new stores this quarter in Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, and Detroit. "This represents our highest number of full price store openings in North America in six years, and commences a new phase of retail growth in our home market, following several years of repositioning," Louvet said, adding that Ralph Lauren will "open about a dozen" full-price North American stores in the years ahead.
What's more, Ralph and its wholesale partners are "fully aligned" on promotional strategies, pricing and product elevation to drive AUR (average unit retail) growth, he said.

It's also succeeding at "[winning] over a new generation" with innovative efforts like celebrity activations in the metaverse, Louvet said. Mobile popups and synchronized nighttime drone shows promoted customizable gifts, and livestreaming events engaged younger demographics during the quarter.
For now, pandemic-hampered consumers are choosing casual staples such as denim, sweaters, cashmere joggers and hoodies.
"Our multi-category lifestyle proposition affords us the flexibility and competitive advantage to deliver for consumers, whatever the backdrop, and this flexibility enables us to be agile, as consumers shift their wardrobes to a new hybrid mix of elevated but comfortable casual styles," Louvet said.
A new partnership with Franklin Venture Partners enables Ralph Lauren to reach female-led businesses focusing on disruptive technologies and consumer solutions in fashion.
Net Sales: For the three months ended Dec. 25, net revenues grew 27 percent to $1.82 billion from $1.43 billion in the same quarter last year. Revenue in the Ralph Lauren digital ecosystem rose more than 40 percent, including owned digital commerce growth of over 30 percent.
Full-price holiday selling, lower promotions and artificial intelligence investments targeting full-price consumers supported digital growth, Louvet said. Ralph Lauren launched its first "full catalog" on its app over the holidays.
North American revenue rose 30 percent to $929 million. In retail, comparable store sales were up 38 percent, with a 40 percent increase in brick-and-mortar stores and a 32 percent rise in digital commerce. Wholesale revenue rose 11 percent.
Revenue in Europe rose 47 percent to $463 million. In retail, comparable store sales rose 55 percent, with a 68 percent jump in brick-and-mortar stores and a 27 percent increase in digital commerce. Wholesale revenue rose 45 percent.
The business in Asia saw a revenue increase of 16 percent to $383 million. In retail, comparable store sales rose 14 percent, with a 21 percent increase in brick-and-mortar stores and a 64 percent spike in digital commerce.
Gross margin for the quarter was 66.0 percent, with "better pricing and promotions and product mix more than offsetting increased freight headwinds" from the prior year period.
Inventory at the end of the third quarter totaled $929 million. "Net inventory increased 7 percent, slightly below our plan," chief financial officer Jane Nielsen said, adding that ongoing global supply chain delays will shift some inventories into the company's fiscal fourth quarter. "While still highly dynamic, we are seeing some improvement on lead times. And our inventories are well positioned to meet demand for the spring season," she added.
For the nine months, net revenues jumped 51 percent to $4.70 billion from $3.11 billion in the same year-ago period.
Earnings: Net income spiked 82 percent to $217.7 million, or $2.93 a diluted share, from $119.8 million, or $1.61, in the year-ago quarter. On an adjusted basis, earnings per share (EPS) was $2.94.
Wall Street expected adjusted diluted EPS of $2.17 on revenue of $1.64 billion.
For the fourth quarter, the company guided revenues to an increase of 17 percent to 18 percent in constant currency from a year ago.
For Fiscal 2022, the company forecasted revenue growth in constant currency to up 39 percent to 41 percent from a year ago on a 53-week reported basis, up from prior projections of an increase of 34 percent to 36 percent.
For the nine months, net income was $575.7 million, or $7.68 a diluted share, against a net loss of $47.0 million, or 64 cents, versus a year ago.
CEO's Take: "Our brand is strong and our growth is supported by multiple levers, from geographic and channel expansion to recruiting new higher-valued consumers, and developing high-potential product categories," Louvet said.

Q: How correctly to parse text from div block? I am working with my own Android application and I am new in parsing. I have website where I have such block of code.

    some text
 some text
 some text

I want take this text and give it to the TextView on the screen. So I wrote this code for AsyncTask, but it doesn't work.
class NewPostsAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    private String title; // Тут храним значение заголовка сайта
    private String pst;

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
        progressDialog.setTitle("Новые");
        progressDialog.setMessage("Загрузка...");
        progressDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
        progressDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

        Document doc = null; // Здесь хранится будет разобранный html документ
        try {
            doc = Jsoup.connect(URL).get(); // Считываем заголовок страницы

            // Using Elements to get the Meta data
            Elements post = doc.select("div[class=col-xs-12]");
            // Locate the content attribute
            pst = post.attr("[style=margin:0.5em 0;line-height:1.785em]");

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // Если не получилось считать
        }

        // Если всё считалось, то вытаскиваем из считанного html документа заголовок
        if (doc != null)
            title = doc.title();
        else
            title = "Ошибка";

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
        super.onPostExecute(aVoid);

        //websitePost.setText(title);
        websitePost.setText(pst);
        progressDialog.dismiss();
    }
}

Can you explain me how I should do this and can you show me my mistakes?
P. S. Sorry if my English is not good.

A: IIRC you are not referencing the proper element for your use case. You should be referencing post.text()
...
// Using Elements to get the Meta data
Elements post = doc.select("div[class=col-xs-12]");
// Locate the content attribute
pst = post.text();
...

A: Why dont you use this instead of doing all that parsing ?
aTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml(yourHtmlString));

Home DUBOSKI ARTIST INTERVIEWS WHO IS SHEEFY???
WHO IS SHEEFY???
by Monica Duboski December 20, 2019 0 Comments
Warhol, Haring, Basquiat.............McFly???
In less than a month, visual artist and musician, Sheefy McFly will make his Los Angeles debut in an exhibit plainly titled, "Sheefy: 3 weeks in LA." When I pressed Sheefy to ask him if he would like to name it something a little catchier, he said, "Why not call it like it is?"
And indeed, Sheefy is right, his work speaks for itself. A Detroit native, Sheefy's visual art no doubts pays homage to pop art gods such Warhol and Haring, and absolutely finds inspiration in the work of master surrealists such as Dali, and Picasso, but the result is something positively original and deeply relevant.
While Sheefy formally studied art in collage and post-graduate school, Sheefy is notably not part of the academy. He has larger-than-life personas and wears many hats including painter, muralist, fashion designer, rapper, producer, and DJ. Yet, miraculously, Sheefy is one of the lest-pretentious artists one will ever meet.
Sheefy's love for creating mural art speaks to his deep desire to share his art with the city and people who helped shape his worldview. The tension in his work was poetically highlighted just this past summer, when Sheefy was arrested by Detroit police for painting a mural that was commissioned and paid for by that very same city. His experience influences his method and aesthetic. It is improvisational, bold, sensual, and works to give representation to the black body and form in unconventional ways. Sheefy was previously quoted as saying that, "I feel like I'm
drawing black people; thick noses, big lips — you feel me? It's such a colorful twist that people aren't thinking about [the race of the subjects] when they look at it."
Who is Sheefy McFly? He is quite possibly the important new emerging artist and he's coming to Los Angeles.
