Electrochemical characteristics of phosphorus doped silicon for the anode material of lithium secondary batteries
Jung Sub Kim, Wonchang Choi, Dong Jin Byun, Joong Kee Lee
P-doped silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were directly grown from a silane, hydrogen and phosphine gas mixture on a stainless steel (316) substrate by the radio frequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (rf PECVD) system. These nanowires including substates were directly used as the anode electrodes of lithium secondary batteries without further treatment. The surface morphologies of P-doped SiNWs were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the phosphorus components on the surface were also detected by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Their electrochemical characteristics were studied using a galvanostatic charge-discharge tester. The discharge capacity of the P-doped SiNWs exhibit above 1933 mAh g -1 after 30 cycles, as it cycled between 0 and 2.0 V at the current rate of 2 C. The initial discharge capacities of all of the P-doped SiNWs were higher than those of the pristine ones under various rate capabilities of 0.1 C, 0.5 C and 2 C. The charge transfer resistance was significantly reduced by the existence of phosphorus on the surface of SiNW electrodes at the impedance spectra. The presence of the phosphorus component in the SiNWs significantly improved the electrochemical performance due to reduced interfacial resistance.

Syria: neo-anti-imperialism vs reality
Much leftist analysis of Syrian events is trapped by a dogmatic outlook that combines a warped view of geopolitics with inattention to local realities, says Vicken Cheterian.
Vicken Cheterian
Why are there no demonstrations in Paris against the violence in Syria? A friend who knows the French anti-war movement went on to supply an answer: because the French left is deeply divided between those who support the popular revolt and many others who see in the Syrian regime the last anti-imperialist Arab regime.
This confusion is not limited to France. The same can be said about the anti-war movements in Britain or Australia (where in Sydney, as Syria's air-force and artillery was pounding the poor neighbourhoods of Aleppo, demonstrators demanded: "hands off Syria!"). This internal divide has little to do with what is happening in Syria or the region itself, and more to do with the left's own deep crisis of vision and theoretical clarity.
When the "Arab spring" gained momentum in early 2011, there was rejoicing among leftist intellectuals, third-worldists, and self-declared anti-imperialists of various shades. A popular movement had overthrown two dictatorships (in Tunisia and Egypt) which for decades - in the name of fighting against Islamist extremism - collaborated with western states and repressed their own populations. Over Bahrain, it now became easy to condemn a western-blessed Saudi intervention that helped suppress a popular movement calling for equal rights and democratic freedoms. But things got complicated in Libya, when the threatening approach towards and into Benghazi by Muammar Gaddafi's military forces led to urgent calls for protection of civilians; this opened the way to Nato's aerial power, with the Arab League and the United Nations providing the necessary justification.
The Nato campaign in Libya provoked a deep debate within the left. For a decade and more, the left had focused its efforts on opposing successive United States military interventions in the middle east. The protests against the Iraq war in 2003 were especially huge, with broad public opinion as well as the left disbelieving the official version that Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction" and alleged links with al-Qaida posed a danger, and (when these two arguments were discredited) that the war was all about bringing democracy to Iraq. For a large part of the western public, and even more beyond, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were triggered by efforts to maintain global domination, and in the case of Iraq to plunder the rich (oil) resources of the Arab and Muslim world.
In Libya, much of the left (if no longer of the western public) had the same attitude: this was an imperialist intervention that sought to control the country's oil. Even those leftists (like Gilbert Achcar) who defended the right of Libyans to ask for outside protection in the face of the danger of immediate massacre, while remaining critical of Nato action beyond this criteria, were strongly attacked.
War vs revolution
Syria deepened the divisions of an already divided left. There is little agreement on how to describe events there "in the final analysis". Perhaps it is a revolution already stolen by imperialist forces and their local agents (as Tariq Ali suggests), or could it still be a popular revolution by those demanding political freedoms who are being heavily repressed by a dictatorial regime?
The more sceptical attitudes towards the uprising in Syria are informed by a deep suspicion towards the west's official policies in the middle east that draws on the experience of the last decade. This suspicion informs the reporting of some leading western journalists. Rainer Hermann, the correspondent of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, wrote two articles on the Houla massacre of 108 civilians in May 2012, half of them women and children, that not only questioned the dominant narration but actually suggested that the killings were perpetrated by rebel fighters themselves.
Hermann relied on interviews with one or two "witnesses" in Damascus, and quotes the infamous Sister Agnes to support his argument about rebel violence, rather than doing any in-depth research himself; even the detailed United Nations investigation, based on dozens of interviews with eye-witnesses, was not enough to convince him to revise his exculpation of the Syrian authorities.
Such reporting leads Tariq Ali to accuse the rebels of committing massacres in order to provoke Nato intervention. Ali later qualified this, saying now there was now more doubt about which side caused the Houla bloodbath, without abandoning his overall analytical framework. Robert Fisk, the well-known Independent writer, similarly suggested after visiting the town of Daraya in late August 2012 that the massacre there (where some 500 people, mostly civilians or unarmed militants, were killed) was the responsibility of opposition fighters (see Yassin Al Haj Saleh & Rime Allaf, "Syria dispatches: Robert Fisk's independence", 14 September 2012).
Rebels vs Islamists-jihadis
A United Nations commission presented its findings on human-rights violations inside Syria in September 2012. More than twenty journalists attended a press conference in Geneva to discuss the report. But the discussion did not focus on the over 100 pages that charted abuses, violations, torture and summary killings; nor was a single question was asked about the Daraya massacre. More than half the questions asked were about a few paragraph in the report about the presence of foreign "jihadi" fighters in Syria. How many, where were they from, and were there a record of their human-rights abuses? (The answer to the last question was no, but questions about jihadis continued nevertheless). I was reminded of George Bernard Shaw's remark that "a journalist is somebody who can't distinguish between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilisation".
It may be time to read, even re-read, Edward Said's Covering Islam. Critical intellectuals did not believe US propaganda about al-Qaida's links to the Iraqi regime prior to the 2003 invasion. Shouldn't the same criteria be used in the case of Syria? The regime there has also justified its repression of the popular movement from spring 2011 by depicting it as the work of"Salafis" and "foreign agents" funded by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, France, Britain and America. A similar scepticism about the Syrian authorities and their claims would be welcome.
Neo-anti-imperialism
The classical leftist thinkers were always conscious of the interrelation between local struggles and the international balance of forces. Their modern successors tend to separate the two levels. So the Arab revolutions are read in isolation from what is going on the global level, as if the enduring crisis of capitalism that erupted in 2008 (or even globally-relevant factors such as food and water crises) has no connection to events. The result is to neglect the possibility of seeing the Arab revolutions as representing a new "weakest chain" in a fracturing system. Today, there is an urgent need for critical views that link local struggles to global politics and aid understanding of the dialectical relations between them.
Tho left-leaning intellectuals who see the problem in Syria in terms of US-supported "Islamists", or through categories of inter-confessional regional struggle between Sunnis and Shi'a - but not the regime of Bashar al-Assad - have abandoned analysis of the local dimension of the events to keep only its international one. They lack any understanding of the Syrian events in terms of class or as a revolt against injustice, repression, and censorship. Instead, their self-satisfying geopolitical reading sees only a struggle between a US-led effort to impose imperialistic order and a last-ditch Arab resistance supported by Russia and China.
An illustration of this attitude is the French Communist Party newspaper L'Humanité's interview with the Lebanese scholar George Corm, where his response to a question on the Arab spring is socio-economic (referring to youth unemployment and demands for political opening) but to one on Syria is concerned only with regional and global power struggles.
This "anti-imperialist" reading of Syrian developments has clear limitations. It finds hard to explain why after eighteen months, Nato airplanes have not intervened, even after Syrian air-defences shot down a Turkish F-4 fighter-bomber on 22 June 2012 (which might be thought a perfect pretext for direct action); why, if there is a "universal conspiracy" to overthrow al-Assad's regime, this would be deterred by a Russian veto; or why the conspirators don't supply opposition fighters with missiles such as portable anti-aircraft Stingers (as the then US administration gave to the Afghan mujahideen in the 1980s).
Gilbert Achcar's criticism of the Syrian National Council and its hopes for Nato aerial support is more to the point than simplistic views that see intervention as the essence of the conflict. The details of the struggle inside Syria are the best antidote to such views, which can only be sustained by adopting rhetoric that abstracts from the reality on the ground - and thus makes it easy to attribute massacres like those at Houla or Daraya to opposition forces without close inquiry.
Class vs anti-imperialism
The gradual abandoning of analysis of internal social developments as the engine of major political events such as revolutions has deeper roots. For most of the past century the Soviet experience, and Marxist perspectives on class, was dominant among leftist intellectuals. The collapse of the Soviet Union shattered their certainties and undermined the analytical foundations of their alternative world-vision. But even more fatal was their failure to engage with the consequences of the Soviet collapse, and to ask pertinent questions. How to explain the collapse of such a state without apparent internal or external pressure; what does its end reveal about the past Soviet experience; why didn't the Soviet working class mobilise itself to defend its social rights when a political opening permitted this; why didn't the Russian working class resist on more than individual factory levels against the massive privatisation under Boris Yeltsin?
The collapse of the Soviet Union should also have led to a questioning of the model of progress that the Soviets established, with its basis in the capture of the state by a small vanguard as the foundation of socio-economic development; and of "progressive" regimes in the "third-world", including those such as in Libya and Syria that would inflict a bloodbath rather than leave.
The legacy of the silent rusting of older instruments of analysis (including class struggle, and workers as a revolutionary class) is to leave the geopolitical dimension as the sole usable framework. The world is again imagined in quasi-cold-war terms, with a mindset that echoes the outlook of some of Washington's hawks. The US invasion of Iraq and US policy in Syria seen in the same indiscriminate terms. This anti-imperialist view also has the problem of being unable to find a worthy opponent to western imperialism: Vladimir Putin's Russia can be considered "progressive" as little as Syria or Iran (the grisly record of Syrian Ba'athism includes invading Lebanon in 1976 to support the right-wing Phalangists and repress Palestinian guerrillas and the Lebanese left, one example among so many others).
The Syrian conflict is evolving in an international context, understanding of which requires going beyond a dogmatic, simplistic geopolitical reading by those whose Godot-like "waiting for the imperialist invasion" would be black comedy were it so tragic. Meanwhile, the massacres continue.

Home renovations can be expensive, and when you're pouring thousands into your home, you want to know that some day if you sell your home, you'll see that money again. While you can count on getting most of your money back on a renovation like a tasteful kitchen or bathroom update, the same can't be said for renovations that can turn off potential buyers like room conversions and swimming pools.
These expensive home renovations may appeal to you, but they're not necessarily worth it for your home's next owner — and that can hurt your home's resale value and keep you from recouping your cost of the renovation. These renovations aren't likely to help you sell your home.
A backyard oasis might sound like a worthwhile investment to you, and can be — if you plan to stay in your home for several years to enjoy it. Otherwise, don't bother. Buyers are often turned off by swimming pools, as they are expensive and time consuming to maintain, and they pose a safety risk for young children. This can dramatically lower the available buyers for your home and the amount they're willing to pay for it.
You may think having a projection screen and leather seats for screening movies is a fantastic use of space in your home, but be careful: buyers may not agree with you. They might prefer to use the space as an office or bedroom instead — and promptly pull out all of the high end tech equipment and customization you spent thousands on, which they certainly won't be willing to pay more for.
It's not just home theater rooms that can turn off buyers. Any major room conversion like turning a bedroom into a home office or gym can really hurt, especially if you've invested significantly in built ins or state of the art wiring that will have to be removed to use the space as a bedroom. And if you have to list your home with one less bedroom, you may even lose value.
New carpet used to be a common upgrade before putting a house on the market, but today, carpet is a turn off for many buyers. Instead of installing wall to wall new carpet for the purposes of selling your home, consider hardwood flooring.
Your house is your home, and you want to customize it to your needs and tastes. That's fine — as long as you're willing to pay the price when you sell your home. Baby blue countertops may make your kitchen look gorgeous to you (and the right buyer), but go with anything other than neutral, and you risk turning off the next owner of your home. Traditional, classic, and neutral finishes will offer the best resale value, as they appeal to more potential buyers.
In the average home, buyers aren't looking for extremely high end materials. That means the value of the commercial range you installed in the kitchen or the high end faucets in your bathroom will be lost on potential buyers. Consider what other homes in your neighborhood look like first. If they are appointed with high end upgrades as well, you may want to go for it. Otherwise, don't plan to get your value back at closing.
Typically patterned and colorful, wallpaper is something that's tough to agree on. What looks great to you may be a major turn off for a buyer. And while it's often easy to remove or paint over wallpaper after purchasing a home, buyers may move on to a home that's more move in ready than your wallpaper clad one.
You've probably heard that curb appeal sells homes, and a big part of that is landscaping. But be careful not to take it too far. Extensive, expensive landscaping can be a turn off for buyers who don't want to spend their weekends pruning their front yard — or pay someone else to. Aim for a clean and neat appearance to avoid scaring off buyers.
Renovation projects can add value to your home, but be careful to not add too much value. Having the most expensive house in the neighborhood is not a good thing, and potential buyers may not be willing to pay for what you've put into it.
While there are many renovations that home buyers won't appreciate, there are some that they're often excited to see. A great kitchen or bathroom, added living space, and updates all around are almost universally appealing. Try these home renovations if you're looking for a way to improve on the value of your home.
Kitchens (along with bathrooms) are one of the best places to recoup or even add value to your home. Everyone uses a kitchen, and it's often the first place buyers will upgrade after they buy your home, so if it's already done, your home becomes much more appealing. Updated finishes and appliances can go a long way in adding value to your home.
Like the kitchen, bathrooms are a place in the home that everyone notices and wants to be functional and stylish. If you have an ugly bathroom or two in your home, you can guarantee that home buyers will notice and be disappointed. That means remodeling your bathroom to make it more attractive and functional can pay off in a big way. But you don't necessarily have to go down to the studs to see a great return. Often, home buyers are simply looking for updated finishes, meaning you can get by with updating tile, countertops, mirrors, and faucet hardware for a basic remodel.
Paint is one of the most inexpensive and easy ways to add value to your home. It updates the look of any room and can be done in less than a day. Of course, you'll need to choose your colors carefully, or be ready to repaint in a neutral color to appeal to a broad audience of buyers.
If you have an unfinished basement, you could have a great potential project below your feet. A finished basement adds living space to your home, often recreational or even an extra bedroom, and that strongly appeals to many buyers. This is especially helpful in small homes, where existing living space may need a boost from below.
Your front door isn't often thought of as a major renovation project, but it's one of the best places to make a great first impression for a buyer — and recoup your investment. A new door adds to your curb appeal, and at a typical $500 to $1,000 cost installed can be a quick, low cost boost to your home's value.
While a pool in your backyard doesn't necessarily appeal to every buyer, a backyard deck probably will. This is a somewhat inexpensive way to add value and function to your home as you encourage buyers to imagine drinking their coffee on the deck every morning.
As more home buyers place a value on energy efficient homes, houses with solar power become more valuable. Homes with solar power already installed are especially appealing to home buyers, as they can avoid the hassles and red tape of installation. Plus, they'll be walking away from your open house dreaming of all the free power your solar panels will produce for them.
While there's no question that some home renovations are better than others, and some can help your home's value while others hurt it, this is ultimately your home and you should do what you want with it. The bottom line is that you will lose money on practically every renovation, as it is rare that a renovation will give you back what you put in to get it. You should do the upgrades that are the most appealing to you and that you can enjoy while you own the home.

Taking inspiration from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, a large-scale text work depicts thousands of species considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction. Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, objective global approach for evaluating the conservation status of plant and animal species, the Red List has become the world standard. To date, experts and citizen scientists across the globe have assessed more than 79,800 species with an ambition to assess 160,000 by 2020.
On October 22nd 2015, four thousand seven hundred and thirty-four species were listed on the IUCN Red List as being Critically Endangered. The data was extracted and each species name printed on a 7m wide canvas.
In one sense the writing is on the wall. Yet the text is printed very faintly. One member of the public at a time is invited to make their mark by over-writing with indelible pen the name of one of the species, drawing attention to it, and bringing it to visibility.

The government has reiterated its commitment to protect the girl child, expressing its desire to see them attain the highest educational qualifications.
This was echoed by the Prime Minister, Mr Kassim Majaliwa, in his remarks on separate occasions while addressing residents in various villages in Ruangwa District.
On a four-day end-of-the-year leave that he has decided to turn into a working one to encourage development projects in the district which is also his constituency in Parliament, the prime minister said girls should be allowed to pursue education up to Form Six and beyond.
"We have insisted several times that girls should be left to study up to Form Six; when they go to university, they will be in a better position to make their own decisions. Anyone found to have impregnated a girl child faces up to 30 years in prison," he warned.
The PM said the government was looking forward to have professionals in areas such as medicine, law, politics and technical work who are women.
Mr Majaliwa, on the other hand, warned parents who are fond of receiving bribe from men found to have impregnated their daughters to "put the matter under the carpet," saying that they risk being imprisoned according to the law. "As a parent, if you find out that your daughter has been impregnated, inform authorities immediately for further action.
If you allow them to bribe you to keep silent, the law will take its course against you as well as it will be against the perpetrator of the crime," he warned.
During the tour, Mr Majaliwa was informed that there are some schools with only male teachers after which he directed the District Education Officer to address the situation by transferring them from urban areas to rural areas to create gender balance.
"There are schools in Ruangwa Township with many male and female teachers and yet I am told there is a school with only male teachers.
There must be female teachers since there are some issues that female pupils cannot discuss comfortably with male teachers," the PM observed.
Earlier, Lindi Regional Commissioner (RC), Mr Godfrey Zambi, said the region faced a serious problem in form of drop-outs in both primary and secondary schools, as many students enrolled for Standard One and Form One drop out before completing their studies.

Only here in Saudi Arabia.
Madinah: Doctors in a Saudi city had to perform a surgery on a prison inmate who had problems taking a mobile phone out of his body.
"An inmate has been implicated in getting a mobile phone inside his body, but was unable to take it out," a spokesman for a prison in Madinah said.
"Doctors at the King Fahad Hospital had to perform an urgent surgery to save him," the spokesman was quoted as saying by Saudi daily Okaz.
No information was given about whether the prisoner had swallowed the mobile phone.

College GameDay heads to Cardinal Stadium for U of L vs. Miami
By John McCarthy–
Cardinal Stadium will be opening its doors to College GameDay and ESPN for the University of Louisville's home game against the Miami Hurricanes Sept. 19. This is the third time College GameDay has been held at U of L.
The first time the Cardinals hosted College GameDay, they were facing the No. 2 Florida State Seminoles back in 2016. At the hands of the future Heisman trophy winner Lamar Jackson, U of L rocked the Seminoles 63-20 in that victory, making for one of the most entertaining College GameDay shows in recent years.
"It's a good feeling that it'll be a big game, a primetime game. I think for us we have to avoid that distraction and just play us and do us," sophomore wide receiver Braden Smith said. "We know it's a big game we have coming and we feel that we have the weapons both offensively and defensively to win that game. So we'll get back in the lab tomorrow and work on that game."
The College GameDay crew will be arriving at Cardinal Stadium at 9 a.m. on Saturday. Because of COVID-19 restriction guidelines, fans will not be able to attend the College GameDay show. Tailgating has also been prohibited.
ESPN members Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Maria Taylor and David Pollak will be announcing the College GameDay festivities on Saturday. Herbstreit and Taylor will help call the game when kickoff arrives at 7:30 p.m.
The No. 18 Cardinals (1-0) will seek a victory against the No. 17 Hurricanes (1-0) to move on the season. With a victory on Saturday, Louisville will get a piece of first place in the ACC conference rankings.

this all works fine but it doesnt allow for the height of the header...meaning that the first 3 lines of text are hidden behind the header so it appears to start on the fourth line. Is it possible to add increment this from say products +20px?
This was a jquery solution, because I also wanted a nice scroll animation for this, and also when I had a fixed to top header section.
Set margin-top and padding-top on the destination to be equal and opposite, based on the top offset that you want.
In the past i have the same issue as you. I was wondering what should i do with it and then great idea comes to my head!
We all love hidden elements so i create a hidden span with #SAMPLE and my anchor jump to this element. Additional i position it with relative attribute so i can move it all around!
Here's a sample code , check it out and let me know if it helps you!
I want to create an application for Android that enables me to get the geolocation of a user. This has to be made as a client-server app and for the server side I'm using OpenFire. For getting the user's location I would have to use XEP-0080, right?

The hotel was nice, bed very comfortable, room lighting exceptional. I was in a 3rd floor room with no view, just of the side of another building. Room service sent no jelly/butter for my toast and when I called back and asked for it, it still never came. Staff very friendly and accommodating otherwise.
I booked a room with a king size bed, instead I got 2 full size bed for me and my girlfriend. Ruined the whole trip. Will NEVER book from this site again!!!

Ariel was the in-house magazine/newspaper of the BBC, published weekly on Tuesdays, and named after Prospero and Ariel, the 1932 statue by Eric Gill on the facade of the BBC's Broadcasting House depicting Shakespeare's Prospero and Ariel.

History
On 19 October 2011, it was announced that the printed edition would cease production at the end of December 2011 and then only be available as Ariel Online. Candida Watson, its editor, was one of the redundancies.

Availability
Distributed as a newspaper for 75 years to staff and visitors at major BBC premises, it was also available to the public by subscription (£50 per annum UK). Ariel Online was accessed by corporation staff electronically over the BBC intranet (Gateway) and from 2011 to 2015 it was available via the BBC website.

See also
An equivalent publication circulated each month to retired BBC staff called Prospero is also available online in PDF format.

9 In Style/ Substance
The Rebirth of John Galliano
To say I am conflicted about this post is an understatement; I've written it four times, deleted it four times, tried a few different angles, still wasn't happy, and then finally reached the to-hell-with-it, just-hit-the-publish-button stage.
So, John Galliano is a genius, an artist. A REAL artist, as I believe Alexander McQueen was also. If you disagree with that, then just navigate away from this page now, because we don't have much to discuss, really; we'll just agree to disagree. I heard Galliano speak at the Vogue Festival on Sunday, and felt a combination of anxiety and guilt in the pit of my stomach. His well-known drunken, nasty, anti-Semitic rant in 2011, and his subsequent firing as creative director from both the houses of Dior and Galliano still left a bad taste in my mouth (the taste of unforgiveness and something akin to betrayal)(yes, I'm aware that sounds dramatic). At the time of Galliano's firing, I posted on my personal Facebook page "How can a person create something this beautiful and say something so ugly?" under a photo of one of my favourite Galliano dresses of all time (above). And that, dear readers, is the centre of my conflict. I love what he creates, but not who he was/is. Should I forgive him, and let him move on? Especially after that Charlie Rose interview, where he explained his addiction issues and breakdown in great detail?
So, there I was on Sunday, sitting in the darkened auditorium at the Royal Geographical Society, along with everyone else in this highly anticipated and sold-out event, feeling anxious. Would he address the racism? Would he gloss over it? Would he ask for forgiveness? How would the audience treat him? Alexandre Shulman, the editor of British Vogue (a vocal supporter of Galliano, and of Jewish lineage herself, I might point out), introduced him and stated that John was here "specifically to talk to us about couture." In other words, he's finished with the interviews delving into his past. Don't expect any tearful hand-wringing and self-flagellation; this chat is all about the clothes, the clothes, and nothing but the clothes. As he walked out on stage, the audience erupted into an elated ROAR of applause and whooping.
John was so quiet and soft-spoken during the interview that I strained to hear him. The video from the event (below) has clearly been tweaked by a sound engineer, because that doesn't come across. The only mention of his controversial past was when he mentioned he was taking everything "day by day", that he was "grateful for support", and how he'd like to put the spotlight back on clothes rather than "the other thing."
He said many interesting things about the fashion industry and how it has changed in his four year absence… how in his days at Dior and Galliano, runway shows were all about creating a spectacle, rather than today's very commercialised "moving showroom." Even the clothes are designed differently now, to be photographed with iPhones from alongside the runway, rather than by the armada of photographers positioned at the end of the runway. He championed couture as being the necessary Eau de Parfum of a design house, which is then diluted into an Eau de Toilette that informs the Ready to Wear lines, and then drifts down to influence the accessories, shoes, handbags, perfume, etc. Without the inspirational art of couture, you don't get the house's "DNA" that keeps all of it alive.
As you probably know, Galliano was appointed creative director of Maison Martin Margiela last October by the reclusive Martin himself, and has now shown his first collections for Maison Margiela. Galliano's experimental couture show called "Artisinal" was very well received by the critics, but it obviously isn't for the masses. In the video below, you'll see him outline what he hopes to create at Margiela, and what he wants the brand's new hallmarks to be. He discusses (at the 10:45 minute mark) the finale and centrepiece of his first show for Margiela, the wedding dress. As the centrepiece, it tells us more about him than anything else he says. The dress is blood red, with a slightly grotesque jewelled mask; not the usual pretty innocent white floral runway concoction. He has adorned it with a heaping glittery mass of antique jewellery that he collected and (I believe) kept him sane post-rehab; poking around in Parisian flea markets, finding beautifully made rare trinkets, and just getting out again was probably very therapeutic. Even more significant, there is a baby figurine (mentioned at 11:45 minute mark in the video, and pictured below) in the top centre of the jewelled mass, the most clear and obvious symbol of starting anew if ever there was one. There are other signals he sent to the fashion world with this show. He chose to show in London, rather than Paris, and was thus struck from the prestigious couture show roster this year (and neatly sidestepped any awkwardness with Dior by being out of Paris). He scheduled his show at the end of menswear week in London, which is interesting since the finale dress (below) is actually a man's coat, with the lining made into a dress (you'll see how he does this in the video, to gasps of delight from the audience). He ended the show by having the models return to the runway wearing the white muslin or toile prototype of each dress, giving us a peek at how the painstaking artisanal fashion process works. Each toile was full of marks, corrections, mistakes, post it notes, and even a scribbled Indian takeaway order! This low-key, all-white, post-show, minimalist procession was a deferential nod, maybe even a respectful thank you, to Martin Margiela, whose shows (sometimes all white) were devoid of the flash and theatre that Galliano previously enjoyed. It also showed that each of Galliano's masterpieces were once flawed works in progress, full of mistakes needing correction, encompassing trial and error… effectively letting his art mirror his life. Unusually, he skipped doing the celebratory bow after the show, staying backstage, again keeping the focus on the clothes rather than on himself.
Now that he is back, I still feel conflicted. Then, coincidentally, an article appeared on my screen right when I was writing this post, which read: "John Galliano announced as (keynote) speaker at Jewish event…. Jonathan Newhouse, chairman and CEO of Conde Nast, is reportedly the man behind the latest move, having introduced Galliano to Rabbi Barry Marcus of the Central synagogue as part of the designer's rehabilitation." It really looks as though he is trying to make amends rather than just sweep "the other thing" under the rug. I've always been a huge fan of his work, and I hope John Galliano, the man, is evolving alongside his art. I'm somewhere on the road to forgiving him.
Do watch the video and let me know your thoughts.

Such an interesting post! I'm like you – I love Galliano as a brilliant artist, but was so disappointed in him. It does seem that he is trying to move forward and make amends for his past. Only time will tell. I will come back and watch the video when I have a little more time. He's definitely a fascinating designer.
I'm always glued to my seat to see what he does next, Lana, sort of holding my breath that he doesn't screw it up! xx
What a beautifully written and informative post! Genui tend to have a side order of madness, if that comes controversially or insults people, then the world will love and hate as it always has. I can't say I agree with what he said or did personally, I also found it abhorrent, but his genius cannot be denied. Great post!

Thank you Felicity; I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. xx

Fascinating. LOVE your take on his vintage jewelry. Perceptive piece. (I'm sure you've seen "Dior and I". Just watched for the second time yesterday. Don't really understand why the NYTimes panned it.)
I haven't actually seen Dior and I yet; It is on my watch list though! I hope to see it soon. xx
Pavel Maslyukov
He was the key designer of Dior for about 20 years. Dior is a huge corporation and for sure he was not the one to create all stuff. I think all trick with Hitler is element of fake. Also actual designs are not made purely by hime, but by his employees. So it is on some level a doll figure whan all job for Dior was done by amount of stuff..
It is sort of Picasso for Dior who advertised him, to make all such solid dresses even from the side of drawing alone is impossible. So in lack of money AND EMPLOYEES of Dior his level now is his level.

A night full of Gold and Silver for DPG Digital Media at Digital Media Awards 2015!
June 3rd was a day of celebration for DPG Digital Media, as the most diversified digital network in the Greek market was awarded one Gold and two Silver Awards in this year's Digital Media Awards 2015.
DPG Digital Media has won the Gold Award in the "Best Content Marketing" category for its "Find My Honda Civic" highly successful campaign which was designed and executed by its in-house creative team for Honda. There were also two Silver Awards for DPG Digital Media this year: One for Queen.gr, leading site for women, in the "Best Vertical / Thematic Blogs" category as well as one for Newsbomb.gr, which is monetized by DPG Digital Media, in the "Best Outstanding New Project/Product" category for Bomb Plus, its innovative online "magazine".
This is the second year in a row that DPG Digital Media receives such prestigious Awards, as in 2014 Queen.gr had won the Silver Award in the "Best Content Marketing" category. It should be noted that this year's Awards in such high-profile categories highlight both the innovative commercial ideas that DPG Digital Media offers to the market, as well as the top quality of the network's content and the unique ways of presenting it.
These Awards, along with the top spots that DPG Digital Media sites achieve in terms of unique visitors since November 2014, as reflected in Union of Internet Publishers' official stats, stand as proof of the high level of both DPG Digital Media content and the provided services to both its visitors and commercial partners.
