Prada becomes sustainable with the Re-Nylon collection
If you like Prada nylon, Prada thinks you'll really like his new Re-Nylon. Intent on tackling fashion's colossal impact on the environment and climate change, Re-Nylon is Prada's latest effort. Designed by Miuccia Prada, the Re-Nylon collection was created using exclusively recycled nylon, an eco-friendly twist on the house's signature material.
The house recently completed itsRe-Nylon pop-up store in Selfridges, London, offering eco-friendly versions of their classic nylon bags.

The collection is part ofSelfridges' Project Earth scheme, launched by the UK retailer to help introduce exciting new sustainability initiatives. Prada's new offerings aim to raise awareness of the fashion industry's role in plastic pollution.

In a statement on the launch of the London pop-up, Prada described her 'Re-Nylon' material as "a bold move towards full sustainability." As such, the project is just one part of the brand's ultimate goal of converting all of Prada's virgin nylon to regenerated nylon by the end of 2021.
The new reclaimed material is made from nylon material recycled from plastic found on land and in the sea. Tthrough a process of depolymerization and repolymerization it can be recycled indefinitely. In addition, it is more durable than the original material.
Nylon is undoubtedly an emblem of the Prada brand. The house controversially introduced the material in 1984 with the launch of the now-iconic Prada Nylon backpack. At the time, fashion critics and consumers alike were unimpressed. The material eventually gained popularity in the 1990s. In fact, it practically became "the" fashion accessory for every supermodel or supermodel!
Since then, nylon has been used in some of Prada's most celebrated designs. The Multi Pochette, and its popular 2005 reissue released last year, took the fashion world by storm. Therefore, creating a recycled version of the material is an important step in helping to relaunch Prada as a sustainability-conscious house.

In his statement, Prada explained that its brand identity was challenging convention and creating a new form of luxury. "This project is an evolution of a fundamental Prada code, a reinvention of heritage."
Prada is not alone in its effort to make its practices more sustainable. Other luxury fashion houses have also expressed a desire to make their practices more eco-friendly. Chanel, for example, launched Mission 1.5°C, which aims to reduce the brand's carbon emissions.

Additionally, high street retailers such as H&M have introduced garment recycling machines in stores. However, Prada will launch a sustainable version of its flagship material without a doubtIt stands out among other efforts by fashion brands. In its statement, the Italian fashion house articulated the importance of its new recycled nylon, "A revolutionary new material, a radical new proposal, to reinvent our past."
All designs in the collection feature the new Prada Re-Nylon logo, a triangle-shaped arrow to emphasize the sustainability of all products.
The collection is currently available atSelfridges.com
Let's take a look at bags
From beloved classics to newer, quirkier pieces, the Prada Re-Nylon Collection has it all. Priced slightly higher than the original designs, the bags in this collection are all black and ooze functionality and sustainability. What will be your favourite?
The bag that started it all: Prada's nylon backpack has become synonymous with the brand since its launch in 1984. In addition to all the bag's classic features, this new release includes a removable cosmetic case, also in recycled nylon.(obviously).
Multipurpose wallet
Prada's 2005 Re-edition Multi Pochette bag has become one of the undisputed 'It' bags of 2020. If you want to buy into the popular multi-bag trend but, like many consumers today, are increasingly concerned with the damage of fashion to the environment, then this is the bag for you.
This done sustainablyThe 2005 reissue of the Bauletto bag combines the bold appeal of the multi-bag trend with the elegance of the classic cylindrical shape to create an effortlessly chic look.
Both durable and functional, the recycled nylon is a perfect fit for Prada's classic shoulder bag originally launched in 2000.
When it comes to fashion's sustainability efforts, everything helps! That's why Prada has included a recycled nylon version of its Mini Pochette in the Re-Nylon collection.
One of several fanny pack styles in the collection, this roomy piece features a large compartment and is ideal for sustainable, hands-free styling.
Belt with bag
If you're looking for something a little smaller to wear around your waist, you might like Prada's belt with a stylish detachable pouch. Both are made from recycled nylon.
Mini shoulder bag
A lot of designers have experimented with the mini crossbody bag style andMiuccia Prada is no exception. The designer has made it assume the compact and environmentally friendly style.

Snowshoe Survival: Snowshoe survival is a combination of a snowshoe hike and survival skills like fire and shelter building. After hiking to a suitable location, the students will help gather material to build a fire large enough to boil a pot of water for hot chocolate. Students will then have the opportunity to make their own fire.
Toboggan Physics: With the use of toboggans, tubes and crazy carpets, the students will use the Tubing Hill to conduct experiments on variables affecting velocity. Predictions and conclusions are recorded in small groups and presented to the class.
Tubing: Tubing is a fun activity for all. Students can use inner tubes, crazy carpets and toboggans on our fully-lit Tube Hill.
Woodland Discovery: Trees, although they are everywhere, are often taken for granted. Through a discussion of the role trees play in the woodland environment, and what they provide for people, students may come to realize how important trees truly are. Students will become amateur dendrologists as they test their tree ID skills on our challenging ID course.
Amazing Race: Modeled after the popular television show, the Pioneer Camp Amazing Race will challenge participants to race in teams against other teams in attempt to be the first to cross the finish line. Teams will need to work cooperatively to win as they complete various new and now-familiar activities.
Astronomy: The night skies have long fascinated humankind. What do we see when we look into the black of the night? What star is that? Where is Mars? How did it all begin? Through simple-to-use telescopes and binoculars, students will have the ability to have some of these basic astronomical questions answered. Groups will look into the star-filled skies and will have the chance to see through time.
Flame Battlers: Adapted from 'Capture the Flag'. Under supervision, two teams will test their fire-building skills. Each team will have the chance to build a fire and attempt to survive a full water assault from the other team. Once the fire has been built, team members will have a chance to put out the other team's fire using only cups of water.
Mission Impossible: The age-old battle of staff versus campers: Will the campers be able to transmit the vital information cards across enemy lines without being caught by the staff? There will be many challenges in relaying the information.
Night Hike: Wolf calls across the lake; the hoot of an owl; a peep from a spring peeper; are these sounds heard only at night? How loud is silence? Can you really see at night without a flashlight? Going for a guided walk at night at Pioneer Camp will answer these questions and more.
Olympics: The world has come together to celebrate excellence in particular sporting skills ever since the first Olympic games 2500 years ago. Teams will compete against each other for the title of Gold, Silver, and Bronze in our Olympics, adapted to reflect the skills learned at Pioneer Camp.
Survival Game: In the natural world, there are no grocery, super or convenience stores. Animals depend on each other to stay alive. There is a fine balance between herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore all vying for survival. Through a role playing game, participants will assume the role of an herbivore, carnivore or omnivore, and will collect 'food' and 'water' (through tagging other participants or finding food stations) in an attempt to stay 'alive'.
Ultimate Scavenger Hunt: The Ultimate Scavenger Hunt challenges teams to find articles hidden around the camp. It is a race against time and the creativity of other teams.

Trump Says He Is Thinking of Restoring Some U.S. Funding to the World Health Organization
President Donald Trump said he is considering reinstating a portion of U.S. funding to the World Health Organization.

President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he was considering restoring some funds to the World Health Organization (WHO). Trump froze funding for the WHO in April after he criticized the organization for its response to the coronavirus pandemic and accused it of being biased in favor of China.
The announcement, of course, came via Twitter. In a tweet, Trump said that the U.S. was considering various "concepts" for WHO funding. One of the concepts includes restoring 10 percent of funding to the organization, or matching China's contributions. Trump added that he had not made a final decision and that the funds, for now, remained frozen.
Trump's freeze on WHO funding lasts for 60 to 90 days. During that time, the administration will review the organization's actions.
The president's decision was criticized by international leaders and at home. On Capitol Hill, Democrats said that Trump's move was illegal given that Congress had already appropriated money to the WHO. Meanwhile, the White House claimed that the president had "broad discretion" over the money allocated to the WHO.
The U.S. was the WHO's biggest funder. As of the end of 2019, the U.S. had given the WHO $893 million in contributions. In comparison, China had given the organization roughly $86 million at the same time last year. Per the Wall Street Journal, no country comes close to U.S. funding, which makes up 15 percent of the WHO's budget.
Nonetheless, since the onset of the pandemic, China has given the international health agency millions more in contributions. Some experts have said that the move is political and a way for China to portray itself as a global leader in the fight against coronavirus rather than the country which the virus originated from.
"The United States of America has been a long standing and generous friend to WHO and we hope it will continue to be so," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO's director general, after Trump froze funding. "We regret the decision of the president of the United States to order a hold in funding to the World Health Organization."

His apartment. With narrow windows to the east and the west. With a small corridor. A one bedroom flat in Wrocław in Łaciarska St, at number fifty nine. A studio and an apartment in one. Yet, it also has a different location. Not "entirely somewhere else", but "also somewhere else". Not only at that address, but also on the fifty first parallel north. An apartment-observatory. On the fifth floor. On the Northern Hemisphere. At a specific, calculated distance from the Sun. And from the Moon. And among some other solar systems. I don't know their names. Nobody has ever taught me astronomy, alas. But I'm trying to imagine it. And I can enumerate further points of reference. Points in a space that extends way further than the roofs of the neighbouring houses. Beyond the city. Above the continent. Beyond Cygnus. To Hercules, which he saw from the windows of his only room, year after year, always from spring to autumn. That's how it is with Cygnus on the Northern Hemisphere. And even further: beyond Orion and its supposedly easily discernible one hundred twenty sun-stars. All these points are the places he determined. Or not determined, but rather noticed, or better saw. He wouldn't draw maps. He would look and leave a trace of what he saw. A trace which I can follow when I forget to look. Everybody can. Within their own capacity. The more so in loneliness. He saw extraordinary things. Truly exceptional. The sun rising and setting. Simply spectacular. Awe-inspiring. Quite literally. He saw them through his window. A sky colour extravaganza.
Vermillion, cobalt blue, azure, alizarin and carmine. Changing times of the day. Withering flowers. In the apartment-greenhouse. Apartment-laboratory. Apartment-place in the cosmic space. The noble profiles of plants in pots. Their green perfection. Like Riviera amorfofallus. Beautiful and symmetrical. Growing in the room with windows to the east, the room between Orion and Hercules. Given the shortage of space, he stored his early paintings in the kitchen. Not far from the gas rings, the heat damaged the canvasses. He would sometimes prepare food there. He would eat and look at the sun. I know he was looking at it on the first day of May, exactly forty two years ago, throughout half an hour. I can see photographs of the (slightly blurry) May sun spots amid the dark outlines of his kitchen interior. What you see is only a record of occurrences. The associations are a matter of your imagination. Seen or heard from afar, occurrences sometimes don't seem to matter. Or matter only on the local scale. What would happen to us if the sun hadn't risen today. Sometimes an occurrence lasts. Repeats. Recurs. Rings constantly. We lose it. We get accustomed. To the hum of the sea. To the movement of Jupiter. We would even get used to the sound of revolving planets. It would perhaps be the first sound we could ever hear. So we would accept that music if only it was playing. If it was playing, he would be recording it.


The meaning of the four elements comes from their close vicinity to us. Their transparency is connected to the amount of insight on a matter. Their stability is a symbol for their malleability. The huge amount of occurrences of the elements offer the possibility of a differentiated usage of their symbol qualities.
The earth is the area of the subconscious as well as the origin of all corporeal. Here lies the source of all that's visible surrounding us, regardless of whether it is alive or physical.
The deeper we dig our way down into the earth the deeper we dig down into our subconscious. Everything what lies in the earth (subconscious) is stiff and immutable. This also applies to psychic contents which firstly have to be brought up to the "daylight". Then these contents have to be formed and afterwards they can be integrated. This means that only the conscious is able to transform and remodel. With the help of the conscious the ancient, invariable instinct can be purified and ennobled (socialized).
In the depth of the earth we also find everything of our past that is solidified.
The crystal is the completion of the earth like. It is neither nontransparent nor amorphous, but insightful and formed by inherent laws. The quality of a treasure is, not in vain, connected to crystals in our dreams. The crystal gives us the impression that it is build out of pure earth energy. Some shamanic groups literally believe that.
burying something: an emotional content is repressed; It is also possible that a dispute is put to an end. This is no solution but reconciles differences (acute becomes latent).
cave: When the earth relinquishes its grip a cavity is being formed. It is still dark but accessible. The unconscious content is in the state of becoming conscious. Caves and grottoes are constructions of the nature and symbolize instinctive aspects. These are being integrated in the process of becoming conscious. The return to the earth strengthens the vitality of the human being. Thus a natural cave is the connection with the very basis. For that reason caves always played a big role in various religions and cultures.
basement, tomb, crypt: cavities made by mankind. Here we find symbols for experiences of the past which are not processed and somehow cast-off. These contents need integration and clarification.
On the bright/dark scale (unconscious-conscious-super conscious) water stands between earth and air.
As an element water is assigned to the emotions.
Energetically water is assigned to yin (acupuncture). It is water flowing through pipes, drains and eventually rivers.
On the path of spiritualization of the nature of the inner human, water is already less solid than earth. Therefore water is a substrate which conceals less than earth but more than air.
Its degree of purity can reach from very muddy to crystal clear. This makes water an indicator for the distance to the conscious awareness (symbolism: transparency = understanding). Through the depth of the water one can infer how deep the content lies. In the process of becoming consciously aware, diving expeditions or swimming into the depth are common dream symbols.
In both last cases the water is in the center of attention and an element that effects its environment decisively – flood, water, wither etc.
rain: falls from the sky = water of life (emotions) is being invigorated by the spirit (air, height) and falls down again to bring fertility to the earth. In dream life it symbolizes a form of transition and renewal.
thunderstorm: The thunderstorm unites rain, storm and lighting. The rainwater is assigned to the emotional sphere while the storm represents a strong intellectual motion. The lightning is the incoming of the intuitive sphere, a recognition and enlighten, which destroys the ancient order with its dangerous aspect. Thus the thunderstorm is an expression of an intense emotional or a mental riot.
fog: symbol of concealment, veiling, obscuring. Firstly, fog can represent the case in which the conscious cannot recognize things due to a veiling. Also the fog can be a threshold symbol. In this case the other sphere (sphere of consciousness like unconscious, conscious, netherworld, the beyond) is not recognizable but can be entered if one dares to.
snow, ice: Bright white snow and ice are symbols for an intellectualized yin energy (ajna light). If ice and snow occur without this bright characteristics they indicate an frigidity or an emotional freezing. This is either our own frigidity or an aspect of another person. It is hard to distinguish a lack of emotion from repressed feelings which can both be symbolized by snow. Snow is not only cold but also able to cover up. The covering up (repression) can be the result of strong emotional distress and the result of a way of life that forbids any kind of self-actualization. Typically for me are snow dreams in which I am in a camp or in the company of my father (he was acting despotic). In the meantime I walk toilsome through the snow and barely move forward (symbol for the handicapped inner development in these days). Of course ice and snow in dreams can also be a result of the experiences of the past day. This applies to all symbols.
desert: The aridity can point to lack of emotion. The desert can also be a symbol for a all drying heat which is assigned to a surplus of yang energy (refer to acupuncture).
dried up river: (resp. pond) A dry river points to water shortage due to a lack of inflow. This means there is a lack of energy (not a surplus of heat like discussed for the desert). This energy shortage can point to a lack of sexual energy or insufficient vitality.
"I went to Spain with my brother. We went diving and discovered at a depth of 3000 m an important locality. We found books that came from the library of Alexandria. They were all sintered by magnesium or mangan which led them to being unharmed.
At the first glance, one might say that the sphere of air is a rarity in dreams. In reality our whole everyday life is assigned to the air. Even if we cannot fly like birds, we are surrounded by the air and breath it. Thus, the air matches our normal area of life and our common consciousness.
Air as an element represents the thinking and the intellect.
wind: The wind shows a certain dynamic and is a symbol for a current, intensive mental motion. Old things are being questioned and new contents become important. It is beneficial to keep the inner balance in these days. The capsizing of a boot (on which we are) is a warning of losing the inner balance. A lose of balance is expressed through highly emotional, chaotic and threatening dreams.
airplanes as technical products stand for ideas and wishes (= mental constructs). These wishes may not be very realistic (down-to-earth). Often also plane crashes occur which point to the disappointment of these imaginings. Dreams become dashed.
rainbow: A rainbow connects heaven (light) and earth, as much as air and water. In its harmonic combining of all four elements, the rainbow symbolizes union and perfection. This can also apply to a single aspect or content.
bird: Birds are animals that can lift off the surface and are capable of mediating between cosmic spheres and our area of life. They can be compared to angels (= human with wings) f.e. who are representatives of the heavenly spheres.
feather: Part of the bird symbolism.
In the field of alchemy the fire is the fourth element. It was used to inflame and capable of initiating different transformation processes. But even in alchemy the cosmic principle was symbolized by sun, moon and stars.
In common dreams the high cosmic principles manifest as bright sun and moon dreams seldomly. Sometimes, as a result of light meditation or light visualization, these rare dreams occur. Sun dreams often go hand in hand with an euphoric emotionalism and are mostly lucid.
If fire does not occur as a threatening heat symbol, it can be assigned to the light symbolism. Fire transforms old burden into light and air. This means the contents become conscious and can be integrated into the personality as precious experiences.


I started Beyond the Zeitgeist as a New York City blog—random acts of culture from beyond the zeitgeist. "Culture" in the broadest sense, meaning just about anything out there that took my fancy. Certainly not myself.
It seems a little early for a blog to have an identity crisis. In fact, it's the author who's having the identity crisis—in a way, starting this blog has been part of it. It's a beyond-the-zeitgeist crisis: I lost my very long-term freelance gig, I've already had a long and checkered career, and I have to decide whether to relaunch myself in New York City or retire to Mexico, where I can afford to live in moderate comfort without working.
Retiring to Mexico is both tempting and terrifying. On the one hand, it would be in a town—San Miguel de Allende—I've stayed in many times, where I have friends. It's beautiful. I have the offer of a beautiful little house, a casita, on a friend's property, at a very good rent.
The problem is, I'm a New Yorker. Not born, but bred. I've lived here for 43 years—virtually all of my adult life. The layout of Manhattan is part of my brain's wiring. New York City Ballet seasons are not about "going to the ballet;" they're part of my identity. Virtually every dancer I came up with has retired—Wendy Whelan is the the only one left—but there are some very interesting younger ones, like Ashley Bouder.
In my experience, the youngest dancers are not interesting. No matter how precocious, they're all technique. It takes years to grow into a personality and become an interesting dancer. Ashley Bouder and some others have been around long enough now to be interesting. And there are always surprises. Philip Neal used to seem much too sleek, too feline. And then one night a couple of years ago I watched him partnering and thought, something's happened. He's changed. He's starting to be interesting. Leaving town means missing those moments, like missing the moment when your child starts talking.
Wendy Whelan used to scare me. She was so intense, and thin, with those preternaturally long arms and every bone in her upper ribcage and back standing out. Then, several yeas ago, she suddenly became transfixing. I wasn't the only one who noticed this, but I didn't find it out second-hand, either. I discovered it for myself, watching her dance. When I read about other people's observations, they merely confirmed my own. It was thought that this had to do with her relationship with the man she subsequently married, and that was interesting. But the most interesting was watching her dance.
I don't feel ready to give that up. Losing the chance to watch the dancers dance, and change, and become interesting—not to mention seeing the occasional interesting new piece of choreography—feels like a kind of death.
My project is to to go down to San Miguel for a few months first, to see how comfortable I'd be living there. That makes sense, intellectually. Perhaps even emotionally.

Book review: Tinderbox by Megan Dunn
Megan Dunn's Tinderbox is an autobiographical account of her attempt to write a work of fiction as a tribute to Ray Bradbury's classic Fahrenheit 451. Tinderbox weaves together raw and real description of a writer's life, first-draft material from her failed novel, and reflections on the origins and significance of Fahrenheit 451.
Tinderbox is hugely relatable when you're a writer. If you have ever sat down to write, stared at your stagnant word count for a while, and then decided to get up and make yourself yet another cup of coffee, you will recognise a fellow soul in these pages. Like Dunn, I've attempted the National Novel Writing Month challenge of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, and I know what it's like to put yourself under pressure to achieve a writing deadline. It's at times exhilarating, but more often than not it makes you wonder why you're writing this thing in the first place. Tinderbox is raw and honest about the challenges a writer faces: trying to make stuff up out of nothing more than what's in your own head, feeling consistently dissatisfied with what you manage to come up with, letting unintentional contradictions creep into your first draft (and resolving to deal with them, later).
Dunn recounts how Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a pay-by-the hour typewriter in a library basement. His challenge was to find time and space to write with a young child at home. Dunn's own writing experiences have been equally, if not more, painful. It's easy as writers to compare ourselves to those who have "made it". Dunn reminds us that although we may put published authors on pedestals, they have all been through similar struggles. Writing doesn't come easily to anyone.
The story of Dunn's writing attempts is set against the backdrop of her job at the dying Borders bookstore. There is a subtle parallel between the world of Borders and the world of Fahrenheit 451: customers coming into the bookstore lack interest in and respect for books – not wildly different from the inhabitants of Bradbury's dystopian world. Are we willingly beginning to slide down the slope towards the kind of world where books have no place?
Tinderbox is thought-provoking, witty, and fast-paced. The story rambles to a degree in time and space – a little like its somewhat lost writer. Dunn is a sympathetic narrator, and there is very little to dislike. My biggest bugbear was in fact the typos and formatting issues, which were just enough to at times draw me out of the story. The language does occasionally do the same: it gets just a little too clever and draws attention to itself, although for the majority of the time Dunn writes in a very down-to-earth, almost self-deprecating style.
The reason why Tinderbox is such a great read about writing is because it's so raw and real. Writing is tough. First drafts are crap. It's all really, really hard. Dunn doesn't hide these difficulties or romanticise the writing life – she tells it like it is, and the writing reader is left with a satisfying feeling: someone gets you.

You can find Tinderbox at Unity Books or buy it online direct from the publisher.

Q: How do I set a darker background color on hover *without knowing the original color*? I've tried everything related to filter and backdrop-filter, but nothing seems to work. I've searched online but not found a single article addressing this (which is odd).
I simply want to set the background-color to be slightly darker than the current color, without knowing the color in advanced. That is, I do not want to "hardcode" a specific color to change to, but want it to be dynamically determined from the original background-color.
I can almost swear that I had this working at one point, too, but something made me stop using it. Probably some glitch or bug or something which didn't make it work as expected.
For example (this is not working code):
table tr { background-color: #FFF; }

table tr:hover { background-color: "original but 25% darker, meaning kind of greyish in this particular case"; }

I suspect that the reason that filter didn't work was that it made the entire object brighter/darker -- not just the background color. backdrop-filter appears to have no effect whatsoever on my end.

A: You can do this with a transparent background say 60% alpha black and two nested elements.
Set the colour to the parent element background and the transparent black on the child background when the hover occurs.

Q: Why can we access a property of a nil NSObject without an exception? I have this method that I inserted a object and it updates a view based on that object. However, when this object is nil it doesn't crash even when I am not being defensive.
- (void) updateWithObject:(NSObject *)obj {

   // obj is nil so how can I access property with out a exception?
   if ([(NSDictionary *)[obj property] valueForKey:@"KEY"]) {
       //set object values
   } else {
      //set object values
   }
}

A: That's just the way Objective-C works. To access properties or to call methods you send a message to an object. To do this the C function objc_msgSend is called with the object itself, the selector and all the other arguments that method takes. This does much more than just calling the method. First it checks if the receiver is nil. If it is it returns immediately with an result of nil (or zero or an empty struct). Otherwise it looks up the appropriate method for the selector and calls that if found. If not it enters the message forwarding machinery which sends this object some more messages to dynamically handle this unknown selector. This is all done without throwing exceptions or otherwise crashing. Only as the last resort forwardInvocation: is called whose default implementation in NSObject throws an exception and thus crashes. Before this the object had plenty chances of handling this message.

Business Journal Names ettain group's Scott Forester as a Top CFO, Recognizing His Role and Contributions
by ettain group | Oct 13, 2020 | Industry Recognition | 0 comments
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – October 13, 2020 – ettain group is proud to announce that its CFO, Scott Forester, has been named by Charlotte Business Journal as a finalist for their 2020 CFO of the Year Award, which recognizes the role and contributions made by financial executives at their respective organizations.
Forester joined ettain group as the company Controller in 2015, advancing to VP of Finance & Accounting after two years, and just seventeen months later, to CFO. He played an integral part in the company's 2019 acquisition of two leading staffing firms. In connection with the transactions, ettain group received a new majority investment from Alvarez & Marsal Capital ("A&M Capital"). These transactions expanded ettain group's national footprint on the IT staffing and solutions market, growing its employee base by 154% and revenues by 262%, and catapulting ettain group to one of the largest talent solutions companies in the U.S. Forester's commitment to the success of the integration, to ettain group, and to his team made him the obvious choice to lead the integrated company as CFO.
"Scott's experience and expertise, along with his outstanding leadership style, make him invaluable to ettain group," said Trent Beekman, ettain group's CEO. "He was instrumental in the success of our acquisition and integration efforts. The results of his efforts are a testament to his business acumen and work ethic. He leads by example, with a team approach that motivates his employees to exceed expectations continually. He is unquestionably the right person to lead ettain group as CFO."

1.1 The Complainant is Kingfisher Plc. of the United Kingdom, represented by Bird & Bird LLP, United Kingdom.
1.2 The Respondent is WhoisGuard, Protected, WhoisGuard, Inc. of Panama, Panama / Korotoum Djaley of London, United Kingdom.
2.1 The disputed domain name <kingfisherplc.net> (the "Domain Name") is registered with NameCheap, Inc. (the "Registrar").
3.1 The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on November 1, 2018. On November 1, 2018, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the Domain Name. On November 1, 2018 the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response disclosing registrant and contact information for the Domain Name which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to the Complainant on November 7, 2018 providing the registrant and contact information disclosed by the Registrar, and inviting the Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. The Complainant filed an amended Complaint on November 9, 2018.
3.2 The Center verified that the Complaint and amended Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
3.3 In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2 and 4, the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on November 14, 2018. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5, the due date for Response was December 4, 2018. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent's default on December 5, 2018.
3.4 The Center appointed Matthew S. Harris as the sole panelist in this matter on December 28, 2018. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
4.1 The Complainant is a company incorporated and registered as a public limited company in England. It is a home improvement retailer operating in a number of countries, selling a variety of home improvement products through its affiliated companies. Most notably, in Europe, the Complainant is the owner of the "B&Q," "Screwfix," "Castorama" and "Brico Depot" chains of stores.
4.3 The Complainant is also the owner of the domain name <kingfisher.com> from which it operates a website promoting the Complainant's business.
4.4 The Domain Name was registered on October 1, 2018. The contact details provided by the Registrar for the Respondent purport to identify an individual based in London. However, whether that is the real name of the entity or person behind the registration is questionable.
4.5 Since registration the Domain Name has been used to send a number of fraudulent emails purporting to come from a "Mr. R. Smith" of the Complainant. In those emails, which also include the Complainant's registered number, registered address and a figurative version of its trade mark, the sender invites potential suppliers to provide him with details of the recipient's products with a view to their purchase.
4.6 At all material times the Domain Name has also been used to redirect Internet users to the Complainant's genuine website. This continues as at the date of this decision.
5.1 The Complainant refers to its business and refers to the two registered trade marks identified earlier in this decision. It contends that the Domain Name comprises the terms "kingfisher" and "plc" and that as the term "plc" is "entirely non-distinctive", it thereby follows that the Domain Name and the trade mark are identical.
5.2 So far as rights and legitimate interests are concerned, the Complainant contents that the Domain Name cannot be used legitimately by any person other than the Complainant.
5.3 So far as bad faith registration and use are concerned, the Complainant refers to the sending of fraudulent emails in the name of "Mr. R. Smith" that has already been described in the factual background section of this decision.
5.4 In this respect the Complainant claims that the way the Respondent's fraud operates is to acquire goods without advance payment from those that respond to his email who will supply them in the mistaken belief that they have been purchased by, and will be subsequently paid for by, the Complainant.
5.5 In support of that claim the Complainant refers (in addition to the content of the email itself) to another case where the domain name <kingfishes.co.uk> was used in a similar manner by someone using the name "Andy Smith". That domain name was then subsequently recovered by the Complainant in Nominet proceedings (see Kingfisher Plc v Andy Smith DRS 19763). The Complainant further contends that it is likely that the "Mr. Smith" in the Nominet case is the same person as the "Mr. Smith" in the present case.
5.6 The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant's contentions.
6.1 There are no exceptional circumstances within paragraph 5(f) of the Rules so as to prevent the Panel from determining the dispute based upon the complaint, notwithstanding the failure of any person to lodge a Response.
6.3 However, under paragraph 14(b) of the Rules, where a party does not comply with any provision of the Rules, the Panel shall "draw such inferences therefrom as it considers appropriate".
6.4 The Complainant has demonstrated registered trade mark rights in the term "Kingfisher". The Panel accepts that the most sensible reading of the Domain Name is as the terms "Kingfisher", "plc" and the ".net" generic Top-Level-Domain ("gTLD"). Given this, the trade mark is clearly recognisable in the Domain Name. It follows that the Domain Name is "confusingly similar" (as that term is understood under the Policy) to a trade mark in which the Complainant has rights.
6.5 For the reasons that it rehearsed previously in Philip Morris USA Inc. v. Marlboro Beverages / Vivek Singh, WIPO Case No. D2014-1398, the Panel considers this to be a case of confusing similarity, rather than identity, between the trade mark and the Domain Name. But whichever is the case makes no practical difference. Either way the Complainant has made out the requirements of paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy.
6.6 It is usual for panels under the Policy to consider the issues of rights or legitimate interests and registration and use in bad faith in turn. However, in a case such as this it is more convenient to consider those issues together.
6.7 The Panel accepts that the Domain Name has been registered and used with the intention of furthering a fraudulent scheme whereby the registrant has sought to impersonate an individual who is either an employee and/or a member of the management of the Complainant. The Panel also accepts that it is more likely that not that the fraud has involved trying to persuade potential suppliers of the Complainant to supply goods to the Respondent in the belief that they are supplying goods to the Complainant. This is the most, if not the only, sensible reading of at least one email sent from an email address using the Domain Name. It is a conclusion that is also bolstered by the fact that the Domain Name is also being used to redirect Internet users to the Complainant's genuine website.
6.8 Whether this is the same "Mr. Smith" who the Complainant claims was engaged in similar activity using the <kingfishes.co.uk> domain name, is less clear. The Complainant contentions here may well be correct, but the decision in the Nominet <kingfishes.co.uk> domain name case was a summary one and there is insufficient material before the Panel for it to make a finding to this effect. But whether or not these are the same or different fraudsters does not make a difference to the outcome of this case.
6.9 There is no right or legitimate interest in holding a domain name for the purpose of furtherance of a fraud through impersonation. Further, the registration and use of a domain name for such a purposes involves registration and use in bad faith (see, for example, Vestey Group Limited v. George Collins, WIPO Case No. D2008-1308). Indeed, it is difficult to conceive of a more clear-cut example of bad faith registration and use of a domain name, even if such activity does not obviously fall within the scope of any of the non-exhaustive list examples of circumstances indicating bad faith registration and use set out in paragraph 4(b) of the Policy.
6.10 Further and in any event, the redirection of Internet users undertaken by the Respondent does fall within the scope of paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy.
6.11 In the circumstances, the Panel has no hesitation in finding that the Complainant has made out the requirements of paragraphs 4(a)(ii) and 4(a)(iii) of the Policy.
7.1 For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Domain Name, be transferred to the Complainant.

Ashley Graham Is Tired of Being Told How to Feel About Her Body
The model, activist, TV host, and entrepreneur is always looking for ways to climb higher. For our latest cover story, the multihyphenate sat down with Allure executive beauty editor Jessica Chia to talk representation (and how to do it the right way), having an all-woman business team, and finding power in her own voice.
By Jessica Chia
Photography by Vanina Sorrenti
It is 9:30 a.m. on a Wednesday, and Ashley Graham has nominated me to go first. Our mission: to shimmy up a glorified scarf until we can reach out and touch the double-height ceiling above us, using nothing but grip strength and a fancy foothold technique, after which we will wrap the silk around our ankles and let go, sending our bodies into free fall. The goal is to come to rest dangling upside down well above the floor, like a bat in a cave. Obligingly, I wriggle up the fabric. Our instructor, Amanda Topaz, with whom Graham occasionally trains, swiftly wraps the fabric around my feet and tells me to release my grip. My right leg is shaking. My ankles are throbbing. But Graham has offered to capture this on video, so I smile as I hang there, swinging to and fro. "Wowwww! There she goes," she says for the benefit of a potential social media audience. When I return to earth, she hands me her phone so I can record her, then gamely goes through the same motions. She hasn't tried this particular trick either but seems fearless. Later, once my heart rate has resettled to subpanic levels, I ask Graham what her biggest fear is. "Roller coasters and bungee jumping," she says. I remind her that it was her idea that we spend our morning flinging ourselves into the air, aided by nothing but a bolt of fabric.
Graham is just as I imagined her. She's carrying a bag I recognize as Prada, but she stays in athletic wear for our brunch and wears little makeup, save for a few swipes of mascara and dots of concealer. I think of all those photos I've seen of her, up close, all freckles and full lips, big eyes and elegant brows. That is exactly what she looks like in person. But what you can't tell from the photos is that she laughs. A lot. A big, guttural laugh that makes people look her way. And she gives unreservedly. In the space of about 20 minutes, she offers me a bite of her food, the phone number of her "parasite doctor" (because I travel a lot and she once got hookworm abroad), the name of a biblical devotional she thinks I'll like, and her personal email address.

But the 31-year-old, unlike many other of-the-moment models, isn't settling for being benignly beautiful and nice. When she was approached to host a reality TV competition for makeup artists and hairstylists called American Beauty Star, she asked to be one of the show's executive producers. "Being [a judge] on America's Next Top Model, I got to see firsthand how Tyra [Banks] produced and hosted the show all at the same time," Graham says. "There wasn't even a teleprompter — she had everything memorized. She would deliver it three different ways, and then she would tell everybody on set: 'I want this angle; I want that light on me here.' And she did it all without apologizing." Graham took mental notes and put them into practice on American Beauty Star. "I wasn't apologetic. I was very matter-of-fact, but I did it with a smile on my face. That's how people run businesses," she says.
America the Beautiful: Lessons in Perspective and Power
We asked 13 of America's most radiant humans what American Beauty meant to them.
Graham started her first business venture, a size-inclusive lingerie line with Addition Elle, when she was 23 years old. "Everybody asks me if I have any regrets in my career. The only regret I have is not starting that business sooner," she says. A lot has changed since then. Early in her career, Graham cited fellow model Crystal Renn as her mentor. Today, she mentions Cindy Eckert, a pharmaceutical executive she met at a media event. "She's who I call," Graham says. "She doesn't know anything about fashion, but she knows contracts, how to grow businesses, and how to get what you want when you're very certain about it."

She also looks to Bozoma Saint John, the chief marketing officer at talent agency Endeavor, and journalist Gayle King for advice. "Gayle and I had a couple of impactful conversations while I was walking into Pretty Big Deal," Graham says, referring to her podcast. Though Graham is known for being open and off-the-cuff about personal details (bowel movements, sex), she's used the platform to probe guests like Kim Kardashian West, Noor Tagouri, and Serena Williams about topics far beyond sleepover fare, such as the intersection of race and parenting, tokenism, and coded sexism, respectively.
They're touchy subjects, and ones that are close to home for Graham, who is married to a black man (cinematographer Justin Ervin), champions the body-positivity movement, and has balanced on the knife's edge between empowered and objectified throughout her modeling career, the success of which she still credits to her first Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover. But she's ready to take the questions head-on. "I see what my husband has to go through every day. We had gone to Italy, and a man spat on him." Graham says. "It's heartbreaking. It can make you really angry. But it's like, how are you going to change that anger into a teachable moment?"
"The biggest thing that we have to conquer is diversity and inclusion. You can't just check the box and be like, 'Oh, we did it.'"
Graham believes the best path is to listen and learn as much as possible. "Read books; have conversations. Educate yourself," she says. "The more you have conversations with people around you that are different than you, [the more] you're going to learn and you're going to grow. No one who isn't black is going to understand a black person's life, but they don't have to be ignorant toward [what it's like]. I want to know as much as I can as a white woman who is going to be raising black children. We're going to have to have that conversation of 'Mommy's white, Daddy's black,' and I want to be prepared."

Not that she plans to have children in the near future, Graham assures me, when a group of women bouncing babies on their knees sits down a table away. "It's just too far down the road for me to even think about," she says. But she hopes the world looks different when that time comes. In particular, I ask her about comments she's made about changing the face of beauty. "The biggest thing that we have to conquer is diversity and inclusion. You can't just check the box and be like, 'Oh, we did it.'" But it raises the question: Where do you draw the line between tokenism and representation? "I'm the first curvy girl of my generation to get a [mainstream] beauty contract," Graham told me last year in a phone interview, shortly after she was named a Revlon brand ambassador.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been another "curvy girl" announced as the face of a major beauty brand since then. And this, according to Graham's metric, is problematic. "I have never looked at tokenism as a bad thing, as long as the brand, the client — whoever has the mission — continues to branch out and say, 'This was our first time; next time we're going to add more of the race, the gender, the sexuality, the religion, the disability,' whatever it is," Graham says. And a group isn't truly represented, she continues, if it's only outward-facing. True representation is when a type of diversity is considered "not just through the advertisement, but internally," among the company's employees and executives. "Stop talking about hiring [diverse candidates] and just do it."
"My body has always been treated as a thing and not mine. It was always about what others thought about my body, until I gained a voice. Now I get to tell people what I think of my body."
For her part, Graham has brought on an all-woman team to help manage her businesses. "I'm proud of it. I feel like a boss when I walk in — it's me and my girls. I imagine the beginning of Entourage: We're walking in slow motion; everyone's hair is blowing. It's like, 'We're here to own this shit.'" And that's the thread running through it all: Whether she's hosting her podcast, helping to shape the direction of an American Beauty Star episode, or sitting down with a photographer to point out dimples and stretch marks she doesn't want Photoshopped off of her body, Graham is being heard. "My body has always been treated as a thing and not mine," she says. "You're the sexy girl. You're the naked girl. Men are going to idolize your hourglass figure. It was always about what others thought about my body, until I gained a voice. Now I get to tell people what I think of my body."
Having a voice is empowering. And so are numbers. "Women are actually paid more than the male models," Graham says. "I don't know if there's any other industry where women get paid more." Which is why it's easy to see that while Graham is planning for the future — expanding her business ventures, maybe writing another book — she still feels powerful exactly where she stands. "Now, as a model, you have a voice; you have a brain; they want to hear what your platform is and what you stand for."

But Graham is more than a model. And she's more than a businesswoman, or any of the titles ascribed to her. Earlier that day, I watched her ascend the two-story-high silk in the aerial studio, mind and muscle united in a singular undertaking: climbing as high as possible with nothing but a little sticky spray on her hands and feet. She reached the height from which I performed our fanciest (and most frightening) trick, only to find out it wasn't enough. "Go a little higher," our instructor yelled. Graham pulled herself further up the silk. "Here?" she asked. "A little more," was the reply. And Graham kept climbing.

Heyah, finally finished this show in a heartbeat. It was fun.
Origin from manga. 16 volumes and still ongoing. Anime aired for 24eps with an OVA. The show is splitted to S1 and S2 and the OVA sits in-between.
For a shoujo-demographic show, I expected quite a lot of cheesy stuff. But it's different, its actually very sweet. S1 is a really plain ride because the both of them are still in their familiarisation stage and there are a lot of cute awkward moments. They are pretty light on the cringe but most of the time giggling to myself about how cute it is. The story moves on slowly but it never really bores me, and a lot of times where its the traditional "Prince saves the Princess themes" but the execution was cute. Character development is slightly stagnant too. S2 picked up the pace with Zen finally making a move on Shirayuki making things a lot more fluffy and fuzzy. S2 has more adventures too. The fanservice is little to none so it doesn't disrupt the actual plot. S2 ending is a bit bitter for me because I don't want to see the series end like this, ITS NOT A HAPPILY EVER AFTER ENDING YET!!! OVA which sits in between the 2 seasons shows some cute interactions between the two and also Mitsuhide and Kiki. I honestly ship Mitsuhide and Kiki from the bottom of my heart. Overall, its a very hidden gem of shoujo shows.
Animations by Bones. Character designs were pretty well done. Backgrounds, colors are pretty decent too. I like it.
Music is decent. OP and ED were ok. BGMs were sweet.
The cast is a pretty long nice list. Hayami Saori, Osaka Ryota, Umehara Yuichiro, Nazuka Kaori, Okamoto Nobuhiko, Sanpei Yuko, Ishida Akira, Kaida Yuko, Saito Chiwa, Uchida Yuma, Yonaga Tsubasa, Park Romi, Fukuyama Jun, Minase Inori, Komatsu Mikako, Konishi Katsuyuki, Toyonaga Toshiyuki, Asanuma Shintaro, Saiga Mitsuki, Mizuki Nana. All of them were well done. Picking Hayami Saori for Shirayuki is a very good choice to be honest. Osaka Ryota and her chemistry were great.
Recommended for all Shoujo lovers. This adaptation is just great.
I used to read the manga of this anime but I forgot to bookmark the page! xD Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I'm going to pick up the manga again and watch the anime.

RIAHI, MOHAMMAD AMIN
RIAHI, MOHAMMAD AMIN (Moḥammad Amin Riāḥi, b. Ḵoy, 1 April 1923; d. Tehran, 4 April 2009), prominent scholar of Persian classical literature, statesman, and professor of Persian language and literature.
i. Life
ii. Works
Mohammad Amin Riahi was born in the city of Ḵoy, in Western Azerbaijan, where he pursued his primary and a portion of his secondary school education in the Ḵosravi School. He moved to Tehran in 1942 and continued his studies at Teachers Training School (Dānešsarā-ye moqaddamāti). He subsequently entered Teachers Training College (Dāneš-sarā-ye ʿāli), and graduated at the top of his class with a bachelor's degree in Persian literature in 1948 (Ḵaṭibi, p. 464). Commencing employment with the Ministry of Education, at the same year, he pursued his graduate studies, and in 1958 he received his doctorate from the University of Tehran in Persian Language and Literature. His dissertation, written under the guidance of Badiʿ-al-Zamān Foruzānfar (1903-1970), was an annotated edition of Najm-al Din Rāzi's (DĀYA, NAJM-AL-DĪN ABŪ BAKR ʿABD-ALLĀH) Merṣād al-ʿebād for which he graduated with distinction. Significantly, it was one of the few dissertations Foruzānfar accepted to oversee in his forty years career. Riahi also benefited greatly from his contact such figures as Moḥammad-Taqi Malek al-Šoʿarāʾ Bahār (1886-1951), Jalāl-al-Din Homāʾi, ʿAbbās Eqbāl Āštiāni (1896-1956), Ebrāhim Purdāvud, ʿAbd-al-ʿAẓim Qarib, as well as distinguished scholars in the second generation, Eḥsān Yāršāṭer, Moḥammad Moʿin, Parviz Nātel Ḵānlari (1914-1991), and Ḏabiḥ-Allāh Ṣafā.During his years as a high school teacher in Qom, Gorgān, Qazvin and Tehran, Riahi also, at times, accepted the position of headmaster, and in Gorgān he also served as the head of the Dāneš-sarā-ye moqaddamāti. From 1956 through 1961 Riahi served on the editorial board of Loḡat-nāma, an encyclopaedic dictionary of the Persian language founded by the eminent scholar and poet, ʿAli-Akbar Dehḵodā (DEHḴODĀ, MĪRZĀ ʿALĪ-AKBAR QAZVĪNĪ). During this same period, he served on the board of directors of the Society of Graduates of the Teachers Training College. In June 1961 he was appointed as the head of the Publication Bureau at the Ministry of Culture. In this capacity, he devoted his efforts to creating consistency and uniformity in secondary school textbooks, a mission that would pit him against text book writers and publishers alike. It was only with the founding of Sāzmān-e ketābhā-ye darsi (see EDUCATION xvi. SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS), an independent entity affiliated to the Ministry of Culture in 1963, that he was able to implement his plans for promoting uniformity in text books. The Organization, in collaboration with Moʾassasa-ye entešārāt-e Ferānklin (see FRANKLIN BOOK PROGRAM), not only took a major step in enhancing the intellectual worth of primary and secondary school textbooks, but also proved to be effective in lowering the market price of those books down to 80% (Riahi, 1998, pp. 60-81; For further details see ʿAbd-al-Raḥim Jaʿfari, Dar jost o ju-ye ṣobḥ II, p. 763-842).
Riahi's vivid accounts of his involvement with the scholastic books were first published in several issues of the Majalla-ye āmūzeš o parvareš, and later, as a book entitled Dāstāni be nām-e ketābhā-ye darsi (A story called scholastic books, Tehran, 1963; see also Moḥammad Amin Riāḥi, "Mājarā-ye ketābhā-ye darsi," Boḵārā, No.2, Mehr-Ābān 1377 Š./1998, pp. 60-81). Throughout this period, he continued to take on greater administrative and executive duties. From 1963 to 1968 he served as Iran's Cultural Attaché in Turkey, and taught at Ankara University. Upon his return, he began teaching at Tehran University, and from 1971 to 1975 served as Secretary General for the Public Libraries Board of Trustees. In this capacity he masterminded the opening of three hundred new libraries throughout the country, and spearheaded an initiative to purchase titles from publishers and place them at the disposal of the public through the library system, a program that benefited writers and publishers as well.
In 1975 he assumed the Deputy Directorship of The Iranian Academy of Literature and Art (Farhangestān-e adab va honar-e Iran), which was established in 1972. He served as the Acting Head of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, and the advisor to the Minister of Arts and Culture from 1976 to 1978. Riahi's short-lived appointment as the Minister of Education in the cabinet of Šāpur Baḵtiār, during which his ability to move his agenda forward was limited, put an end to his government service. He refrained from participation in any cultural associations or governmental organizations, and instead devoted the last thirty years of his life to research, as well as writing and editing books and articles. Many of his previously published works were reprinted during this period. Riahi married Nik-Aḵtar Zarnegār in 1952. They had a son, Bahman, and a daughter, Afsāneh.
Riahi died on April 15 2009 and was buried in the section allotted to the scholars and artists in Tehran's Behešt-e Zahrā Cemetery. Memorial ceremonies were held in Tehran, Tabriz and Ḵoy in which many of his friends, students and scholars of Persian language and literature participated. Boḵāra, an acclaimed journal of Iran devoted a special section to his memory, to which such eminent scholars and cultural figures as Iraj Afšār contributed articles (For details see Boḵārā, 71, Ḵordād-Šahrivar 1388Š./June-September 2009, PP. 75-94).
ii a. Books and Essays on Persian Literature
ii b. Critical Edition of Classical Texts
ii c. Other Works
Riahi was a devoted scholar and a prolific writer. Several of his works remain reliable sources for students and researchers of Persian language and literature. Even when burdened with administrative responsibilities, he continued to write and publish over the roughly seventy year period since his first article appeared in 1939, when he was still a student at Ḵosravi school in Ḵoi, in Armaḡān, a monthly literary magazine founded in Tehran in February 1919 by Ḥasan Vaḥid Dastgerdi.
A significant portion of Riahi's work returns to Ferdowsi's Šāh-nāma. To prepare a critical edition of the epic poem, he proposed the founding of Bonyād-e Šāh-nāma-ye Ferdowsi (The Foundation for Šāh-nāma of Ferdowsi) to the Ministry of Culture and Arts. The Foundation was established in 1971, with Mojtabā Minovi as the President of the Foundation's Board of Trustees. The purpose of the Foundation was to conduct comprehensive studies on the literary, historical, social and linguistic merits of the Šāh-nāma, and to prepare a new critical edition of the book. Riahi took over the responsibilities of the Secretary General of the Foundation's Board, and succeeded Minovi after his death in 1977. In October 1977, Riahi arranged a national colloquium on the Šāh-nāma, in which several scholars participated and presented papers. Twenty of them were published in a volume entitled Šāh-nāma-šenāsi (Tehran, 1978). The Foundation was dissolved in 1979.
Riahi's Sar-čašmahā-ye Ferdowsi-šenāsi, a critical survey on the books and articles available on Ferdowsi's life and work, was published 1n 1993. The book enjoyed high critical acclaim and is widely regarded as a reference book on the subject. It was followed by the publication of Ferdowsi, zendagi va šeʿr-e u, a well researched and comprehensive book on the life and poetry of Ferdowsi in 1996. A collection of Riahi's own writings on Šāh-nāma and Ferdowsi has been published as Pāydāri-e ḥamāsi (The glorified resistance, Tehran, 1379). He was instrumental in the reprinting in 1990 of Julius Mohl's edition of Šāh-Nāma, to which he contributed a comprehensive introduction.
Riahi's dedicated study of Persian literature, and his systematic consultation with the classical texts are well manifested in Golgašt dar šeʿr o andīša-ye Ḥāfez (An excursion through the poetry and philosophy of Hafez, Tehran, 1995), and Kesāʾi Marvazi: zendagi, andiša va šeʿr-e u (Kesāʾi Marvazi, his life, philosophy and poetry, Tehran, 1367), in them he meticulously scrutinizes the available sources and dispels many of the unfounded myths associated with their life and poetry, and points out those verses attributed to them that were, in fact, the work of other poets (see J. T. P. de Bruijn, KESA'I MARVAZI; For Riahi's other works on Kesāʾi and his recently found religious qaṣidas, see bibliography). Čehel Goftār (Forty essays), a selection of Riahi's most acclaimed articles on Persian poetry and literature was published in Tehran, in 2000.
Apart from his many articles on Persian poetry and literature, Riahi has edited and annotated several classical texts, of which Najm-al Din Rāzi Dāya's Merṣād al-ʿebād, one of the most significant Sufi texts in Persian, is of particular significance. Initially submitted as a doctoral dissertation in 1958, and further edited by Riahi over the course of fifteen years, the book was published in 1973, and received the Royal Award for the best book of the year (Ḵaṭibi, p. 464).
His edition of ʿĀlam ārā-ye Nāderi, the memoires and eyewitness accounts of Moḥammad Kāẕem Marvi, a courtier to Nāder Šāh Afšār, was published in 1983. It was followed by the publication of NOZHAT AL-MAJĀLES (Tehran, 1996), an anthology of over four thousand quatrains from roughly three hundred poets, compiled by Jamāl-al-Din Ḵalil Šarvāni in the middle of the 13th century. Nozhat al-majāles, as noted by Riahi in his comprehensive introduction to the text, reflects the full spread of Persian language and culture in the North Western areas of Iran, where, due to the change of language, the heritage of Persian literature has almost entirely vanished today. It is a very valuable source for identifying the authors of many quatrains, including a number of poets whose collected works are no longer extant (Nozhat al-majāles, pp. 12-14). It also includes 37 quatrains attributed to ʿOmar Ḵayyām (q.v.), which is one of the earliest known records of Ḵayyām's quatrains. Riahi has contributed the entry on Nozhat-al-majāles to the Encyclopaedia Iranica.
It is noteworthy that Riahi draws a line between ʿErāqi and Ḵorāsāni styles, and the poetry primarily in coinage in Azerbaijan and Arrān, which as he argues, is tinged with both regional and linguistic traits, and is abundant in Christian imagery ranging from monastic customs and clothing to other symbols of Christian faith. To distinguish the type of poetry and to identify it as a particular style, he proposes the employment of sabk-e Arrāni.
Riahi has also edited Jahān-nāma, a 13th century historical geography by Moḥammad b. Najib Bakrān Ṭusi (Tehran, 1963), and Meftāḥ al- moʿāmelāt, a book on mathematics from Moḥammad b. Ayyub Ḥāseb-e Ṭabari (Tehran, 1970). His edition of Rotbat al-ḥayāt, the sole extant treatise by Abu Yaʿqub Yusof b. Ayyub Hamadāni (1048-1140), a significant figure in the history and development of Sufism in Iran and Central Asia, and Resālat-al-ṭoyur by Najm-al Din Rāzi Dāya, were published in one volume in Tehran in1983. Mention should also be made of Maʿrefat al-asṭorlāb, aka Šeš faṣl, a treatise by Moḥammad b. Ayyub Ḥāseb-e Ṭabari (Tehran, 1992).
Gozida-ye Merṣād al-ʿebād (Selections from Merṣād al-ʿebād) was published in Tehran, in 1982 and underwent several reprints in subsequent years. Bogšāi rāz-e ʿešq (Unravel the mystery of love), Riahi's selection of Kašf al-asrār wa ʿoddat al-abrār (Unveiling of mysteries and provision of the righteous), a monumental Persian Sufi commentary on the Qurān, by Abu'l-Fażl Rašid-al-Din Meybodi (MEYBODI, ABU'L-FAŻL RAŠID-AL-DIN), the early 12th century mystic and Sunni scholar, was published in 1995.
ii: c Other Works
Riahi's lifetime engagement with his birthplace and the region's long history and culture, culminated in the publication of Tāriḵ-e Ḵoy (The history of Khoy) in 1999. Based on extensive consultation with the available sources on the death and disappearance of Šams-e Tabrizi, Riahi also published two articles in support of the hypothesis that Šams was in fact buried in Ḵoy. The articles which further discredited the unsubstantiated assumption that Šams is buried in Konya, where Rumi and his descendants lay in rest, drew a long held dispute over the issue to a closer end (For Details see Čehel goftār, Tehran, 2000).
Riahi's years of stay in Ankara as Iran's cultural attaché culminated in the publication of Sefārat nāmahā-ye Iran (Tehran, 1989) and Zabān o adab-e Fārsi dar qalamro-ye ʿOṯmāni (Persian language and literature in Ottoman Turkey, Tehran, 1990), in which he has extensively written on the history and development of Iran-Ottoman political and economic relationships and the vast influence of Persian language and literature in the region. Riahi's other contributions also include Divān-e Ostād Ḡolām-Reżā Rašid Yāsami (Tehran, 1947).

The invention of telephone speeds up the communication between people. It has been a means in relaying messages between two persons in far places. It has been the oldest communication tool that still exists up to this time. Now we have cellphones and iphones that have additional applications in it compared to telephones. Cellphones allow us to send text messages aside from calls. Iphones allow us to access the internet beside its text and calls features. Still, telephone has a wide range of users because of its cheaper phone calls and accessiblity. With telephones you could just plug it and leave it there. For people away from their house and offices, there is now telephone answering service that would enable them to retrieve and hear their messages whenever they are already around. It is widely used in offices, businesses and for personal use. Telephone is given a specific number and added up with an area code so that it could be reach and identified specifically. Unlike cellphones that you could just change the sim to be able to have a new number but with telephones it is applied with the telephone company. Telephones may be old school but its usage is still very in.

Submitted by Stomper A
Most students cannot wait for the school holidays to arrive so they can get a much-needed break from academia.
However, in Singapore, many students use their free time to catch up on their studies.
Stomper A thinks that students should just "stay home and study" instead of taking up seats at cafes.
The Stomper was at a Starbucks at Bishan Community Club on Monday (June 11) at about 12.30pm when she saw that almost all the seats were taken up by students.
A told Stomp that she is a consultant and had gone to the cafe to meet with a client.
"After five to 10 minutes of waiting, it looked like nobody was going to leave soon," she said.
"They had all their notes and laptops with them."
In the end, she gave up waiting and went to her client's home for her meeting.
She said that this is the third time she has visited the outlet to experience the same thing.
"I feel like for work, it's okay but students can study at home or at school," she said.
"When I was a student, my friends and I would go back to our Junior College to study."
In similar instances, Starbucks has commented on such complaints with the following response:
"Maybe Starbucks can enforce no studying during peak hours like during lunch," suggested A.
"These students buy $5 drinks and park at Starbucks for five hours."
More customers frustrated by students studying at Starbucks outlets: "More like library than cafe"
Students hogging Starbucks seats: Woman asks "what do you want us to do about it?"
Customer enters CCK Starbucks and exits again: "Why do students have more rights than normal patrons?"
