An artist begins with apparently random, even disconnected, strokes. Only when the work is finished do we realized that the artist always had a plan and each stroke contributed to the final product.
Between November 7, 2015 and January 17, 2017, the Dominican Family, Friars, Nuns, Sisters and Dominican Laity celebrated the eight-hundredth anniversary of the approval of the Order founded by Dominic.
Since Jordan completed his work by 1234, no more than thirteen years after Dominic's death in 1221, it is possible that Jordan was in touch with a family memory and not a later legend. Nonetheless, Dominic's early years hardly seemed likely to set the world on fire.
Dominic was born around 1174 in the village of Caleruega, part of the province of Castile in Spain. Jordan, and the other early biographers, describe Dominic's father, Felix, as "honorable" and his mother, Jane, as "compassionate" and "merciful." Surely, their influence left their mark on Dominic in the ways of love for God and compassion for others.
Some years before, this area of Spain had been won back by the local people, after centuries of occupation by the North African Moors. Dominic's steel-like tenacity must have been forged by these people who held on to their faith through years of occupation.
While Castile was not the centre of Europe, events happening in Europe affected this area and as a result affected Dominic. Towards the end of the twelfth century, some of the traditional cathedral schools were moving towards becoming Europe's first universities. Dominic's studies at the cathedral school at Palencia impressed upon him the value of serious scholarship. In time, he later sent young friars to study near the universities, despite the cautious attitude of a number of religious people.
According to Jordan, when a famine affected the area around Palencia, Dominic sold "all his belongings, even his books, which he very much needed in that city." His fellow students and even the professors imitated his example. This compassion manifested itself throughout Dominic's life, especially his concern for the salvation of others.
In Medieval Europe, the clergy attached to the cathedral were called "canons." The canons devoted themselves to the public liturgical services of the cathedral, such as the solemn celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours.
He used every available means to draw to himself, wherever they could be found, good and virtuous men… Hence it happened that he took pains to urge his canons, by frequent admonitions and salutary exhortations, to agree to observe a canonical religious life under the Rule of St. Augustine.
This was the obligation and privilege of the cleric, and particularly of the canon, because this was the task of the apostles. Dominic always found both strength and joy in the recitation of the canonical office, even at the most disturbed moments of his life, even as he traveled along the highroads; on the last day of his life, worn out by fatigue and with the hand of death upon him, he would still go off to sing Matins in the middle of the night before lying down to rest for ever.
He prayed without ceasing and, making use of the leisure afforded for contemplation, he scarcely ever left the monastery grounds. God gave him the singular gift of weeping for sinners, the wretched and the afflicted, whose sufferings he felt within his compassionate heart, which poured out its hidden feelings in a shower of tears.
As a canon, Dominic wore a white tunic, a surplice and a black cloak with a pointed hood. Just as the clothing of the canons evolved into the habit of the friars, the life of the canons eventually provided Dominic with a framework for the community life of the friars.
In May, 1203, King Alfonso VIII of Castile asked Bishop Diego to negotiate a marriage between his son, Fernando, and a noble woman from the "Marshes," (possibly northern Germany or Denmark). Dominic accompanied Diego on the journey.
As Diego and Dominic passed through the area of the Midi or Languedoc, around Toulouse in southern France, they were startled at the number of people who were abandoning the Catholic faith and adopting the religion of the Cathars.
In the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, the ideas of the Cathars had spread from the East into the West, brought by traders and returning crusaders. The Cathars believed in two principles, the God of good, who was the God of the New Testament, and the God of Old Testament, who was the God of evil.
At the inn where they took shelter in Toulouse, Dominic spent the entire night in discussion with the innkeeper, who, by early morning, asked to be received back into the Church.
After their journey, Diego and Dominic reported to the king and then resumed their lives as before. Nevertheless, the encounter with heresy made a deep impression on both the bishop and his canon.
In 1205, the king asked Diego to accompany the bride back to Spain. Again, Dominic traveled with his bishop. It is unclear why the bride did not return with them. (It is possible that she became a nun in order to avoid leaving her homeland). In hindsight, we can recognize that the journey was God's way of opening a new stage in the lives of Diego and Dominic.
As they traveled, they continually encountered the Cathars throughout the area of Southern France. Pope Innocent III was deeply concerned about the situation. He asked three Cistercian abbots to act as his legates, urging them to preach throughout the area. Since the Cistercians were known for their austerity, Pope Innocent thought that they could act as an effective challenge to the penitential preachers of the Cathars.
Sometime between April and June, 2006, Diego and Dominic met the abbots who were eager to discuss their experience. The monks had been working for two and a half years with little success.
Diego may have understood from his own attempts to evangelize the Cathars that the abbots were at a disadvantage with the Cathars. The abbots road in carriages. They were protected by soldiers and were accompanied by servants. The "perfects," on the other hand, walked unprotected to preach their message. The poverty and austerity of the "perfects" made their preaching seem more genuine compared to the legates.
If you come with less poverty and austerity, you will hardly gain any edification, you will cause much harm, and you will fail utterly of your objective. Match steel with steel, rout out false holiness with the true religion, because the arrogance of these false apostles must be overthrown by genuine humility.
This decisive moment opened for Dominic his future as an itinerant preacher of the Gospel. Dominic was assigned to minister in the area near Fanjeaux. This town was set a high hill that served as a crossroads to other cities. Among the noble families in Fanjeaux were devoted Cathars. There was a community of the Perfect in the town.
Down the hill from Fanjeaux was Prouille (Prouilhe). At Prouille, Diego established some women converts in a religious house. Jordan tells us: "In order to give assistance to certain women of the nobility whose parents were led by poverty to give them over to the heretics for training and support, he established a monastery between Fanjeaux and Montréal in a place called Prouille." The nuns took up residence at the property of the chapel of Notre Dame de Prouille sometime between the end of 1206 and March, 1207.
In September, 1207, when Diego returned to his diocese to obtain funds for the monastery and to recruit priests to help in the preaching, he entrusted the spiritual care of the nuns to Dominic and their temporal care to William Claret.
Typically, the male branch of orders has been established first and then the branch for women has followed. This was the pattern for the Benedictines, Franciscans, Carmelites, and Augustinians, among others. Dominic's first foundation was for religious women. At first, the women may have followed the Cistercian rule as many monasteries of women did at the time. As the Dominican friars developed, the women soon adopted their practices.
Most of the Cistercian monks returned to their monasteries by September or October, 1207. The mission of the Cistercians was necessarily temporary since their vocation was monastic. Diego did not return to Languedoc, as he died in Osma on December 30, 1207.
Going out as an itinerant preacher in Languedoc, Dominic carried a staff. In the fold of his tunic, he kept the Gospel of St. Matthew and the Letters of St. Paul. Dominic had one tunic and a cloak. He carried no money.
By 1214, a small group had gathered around Dominic at Fanjeaux and continued the preaching mission to the Cathars. On the request of the cardinal legate, in January, 1215, Dominic transferred his residence to Toulouse, leaving three brothers to assist the nuns at Prouille.
In April, 1215, Dominic took a decisive step towards forming a religious community. At Toulouse, Peter Seila and Thomas professed vows to Dominic. Pierre Seila gave Dominic three stone houses he had inherited, which were built against the city wall.
In the middle of 1215, John of Navarre made profession into the hands of Dominic. Vicaire explains that making vows into the hands of another was a form of feudal homage that the monks at Cluny had adopted for its profession. The members of the new community wore the white tunic and black cloak that Dominic had worn as a canon.
We… in order to root out the corruption of heresy, to drive out vice, to teach the creed and inculcate in men sound morals, institute as preachers in our diocese Brother Dominic and his companions, whose regular purpose is to comport themselves as religious, traveling on foot, and to preach the Gospel word of truth in evangelical poverty.
During the summer of 1215, Dominic with six companions attended the theology lectures of the Englishman, Alexander Stavensby, whom Foulques had brought to Toulouse as a teacher. Dominic wanted his followers to base their preaching on a solid theological base. For the friars, study replaced the manual labor of the monks.
In September, 1215, Dominic accompanied Bishop Foulques to Rome for the Fourth Lateran Council. Foulques' presence at the council was important because concerns regarding the Cathars were to be discussed.
Early in October, the Pope received Foulques along with Dominic. Dominic asked for the pope's confirmation of his preaching community. A bishop had the authority to approve an order that would belong to his diocese but Dominic desired a more secure affirmation from the pope himself that would allow the order to minister beyond Toulouse.
The situation was complicated because Innocent was well aware that the upcoming council was likely to prohibit the creation of new orders. Innocent may have wanted a stable base for this community, which didn't fit the traditional categories of religious, being neither hermits nor monks. It is likely that he considered them a community of canons but they were not exactly canons either. Even though the friars had a home in Toulouse, they didn't have a church.
Innocent III died on July 16, 1216. The following October, Dominic set out for Rome to report to the new Pope, Honorius III, the choice of the friars for the Rule of St. Augustine. Unlike others who followed that Rule, such as the canons, Dominic envisioned a mission of itinerant preaching.
Honorius III confirmed the community in a bull Religiosam vitam, which he signed along with eighteen cardinals, on December 22, 1216. Perhaps, at first, the pope assumed that this community would remain a small group of canons within the diocese of Toulouse. He quickly realized the potential of this foundation.
In this first bull, Pope Honorius acknowledged that the brothers were "preaching" praedicantes. However, Dominic wanted the brothers to be designated, not only as those who preached, but to be identified as "preachers" praedicatores.
Thus, like Christ's unconquered athletes, armed with the shield of faith and the helmet of salvation, you do not fear those who can kill the body, but valiantly trust the word of God, which is keener than any two-edged sword against the foes of the faith… We call upon your charity and earnestly exhort you with the command… that, ever more strengthened in the Lord, you strive to spread the Word of God by being insistent in season and out of season and fulfilling the work of the evangelist in a praiseworthy manner. Now if you undergo tribulations for this cause, you must not only tolerate them with equanimity, but even glory in them, rejoicing with the Apostle that you are deemed worthy to endure outrages for the name of Jesus.
After invoking the Holy Spirit [Dominic] assembled the brethren and announced that, in spite of their small number, his heart's desire was to send them throughout the whole world and that they would no longer live together in their present abode. Although they were all surprised at the announcement of this unexpected plan, yet, because his evident authority of holiness animated them, they easily agreed to it in the hope that it would result in a good purpose.
On August 15, 1217, Dominic dispersed the brothers. Dominic sent three Spanish brothers to Spain. Two groups were sent to Paris in order to study. Pierre Seila and Thomas remained in Toulouse while Noel and William Claret stayed at Prouille.
John describes himself as "reluctant" when he was sent with five clerical brothers and a lay brother to Paris. Dominic charged them not to fear because everything would prosper. They were "to study, preach and found a priory." We should not overlook the importance given to study from the very beginning of the order.
Jordan marvels at Dominic's confidence: "It was as if he knew exactly what was going to happen, or as if he had been given instructions by the Spirit in some revelation…" Jordan observes that even though the first friars were simple and uneducated, Dominic sent them out, even when others thought he was destroying what he had begun. Jordan remarks, "He backed up everyone he sent out with his prayers, and the power of the Lord was with them to give them increase.
Although the Fourth Lateran Council suggested that bishops might employ preachers in their dioceses, the pope's bull indicates that the friars are an order of "preachers." In other words, their ministry of preaching is not one entrusted to them by a bishop but rather preaching is the role of the friars in the church.
No matter where he happened to be, whether on a journey with his companions or in the house of a stranger, or even in the presence of princes, prelates, or other dignitaries, his conversation was always edifying and abounded in allusions which would draw his hearers toward love for Christ and away from love of the world. At all times his words and his works proclaimed a man of the Gospel.
Dominic went to Spain and stayed there a little under a year, helping to strengthen the two houses, one in Madrid and one in Segovia. He also organized a community of nuns in Madrid. When he reached the priory in Paris in May 1219, he was met with a community of thirty friars, most of whom were students.
However moving certain descriptions of the preaching of St. Dominic by the witnesses at the Bologna proceedings may be, the most penetrating image, the most insistent image that they leave us is that of his prayer. The extent, the depth, and the radiating of this prayer impressed them all the more as they admired his generosity as an apostle, on the one hand, and his efficiency as a founder on the other.
By the end of May, 1221, there were twenty five houses of friars with three or four more being formed, as well as monasteries of nuns at Prouille, Madrid and Rome. Friars were being sent to England, Hungary, Denmark and Bosnia.
At the end of July, 1221, Dominic came to the house in Bologna. The friars assumed that his obvious weariness was due to the heat. Dominic went to the church and stayed there through the night office.
When Dominic died in the evening of August 6, 1221, he was not yet fifty years old. The cardinal of Ostia, Cardinal Ugolino, celebrated the funeral Mass. Ugolino, a friend to both Dominic and Francis, was elected pope in 1227. As Gregory IX, Ugolino canonized Dominic on July 3, 1234, at the Cathedral in Rieti, with the bull, Fons Sapientiae.

Q: SQL: built in function with table of text as an input I am currently working with matlab and sql to identify shortest paths using midway points and extract some attributes of the resulting paths. I am facing some issues related to high computing time and I am trying to improve my code by developping a built-in function that would accept a table of sql queries as an input (I am a total begginer with functions in sql, I was only performing queries until now).
For now, I am using loops on matlab and calling the fonction for one observation at a time leading to high number of requests between the two softwares.
select * from fct_attribute_2(''insert into g_attributes %s'')

with %s being the shortest path function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.fct_attribute_2(IN edge_sql text)
RETURNS TABLE(....) AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
EXECUTE 'delete from g_attributes';
EXECUTE $1;
EXECUTE 'delete from g_attributes where edge=-1';
RETURN QUERY
(main function)
$BODY$

So what I am looking for is a way to have a table inclusing rows of text as the input and execute all these rows then perform the main function.
Does anyone have experience with similar functions ? Thanks a lot in advance and please tell me if I need to clarify any points.

Applications for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are routinely denied by the government. While there is a multitude of reasons for a denial, applicants can pursue a number of avenues to qualify for these services.
There is an appeals process for both SSDI and SSI. This process does require a hearing which makes many reluctant to proceed with an appeal to which they are entitled. If you've received a denial for your application, the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona disability law firm of Roeschke Law, LLC can skillfully represent you through the appeal process.
When Does A Disability Hearing Take Place?
If you submit an application for SSDI or SSI benefits and you are denied, you have 60 days from the date that you received the denial letter to file an appeal. The first stage of the appeals process is called a Request for Reconsideration. During this time, a third party who was not involved in the initial decision reviews your application. If the denial is affirmed at the reconsideration level, the next stage in the process is a Request for a Hearing by an Administrative Law Judge.
What Do You Need To Know About A Disability Hearing?
Submitting a request for a hearing means that you will be given the opportunity to present your case to a judge for him or her to decide. A disability hearing is similar to a trial but much less formal. Evidence is submitted for review by the administrative law judge prior to and during the hearing, and witnesses can also be called to testify. You have a right to be represented by counsel of your own choosing during the hearing process as well as the ability to call and examine witnesses.
The Social Security Administration attempts to schedule hearings as quickly as possible and at a location within 75 miles of the applicant's residence. A hearing via video conference may also be an option. Applicants will be notified of a hearing location and date at least 20 days beforehand. After the hearing, the administrative law judge makes a decision and submits it in writing to be forwarded to the applicant or his or her representative.

AP Analysis: Other nations adjust to 'America first' policy
By Insider Last updated Mar 14, 2019 342
WASHINGTON — America first? Try America first, second and third.
As President Donald Trump prepares for his second U.N. General Assembly, the Olympics of international diplomacy, his administration has turned unabashedly and profoundly inward, pursuing ever more unilateral policies in what critics argue is a great retreat from global engagement that had been a bipartisan hallmark of previous U.S. leaders.
Trump aides who used to qualify his well-worn campaign slogan by insisting that "America first does not mean America alone" are gone. In their place are advocates of inviolable state sovereignty who share a belief that many of the institutions established after World War II to secure and maintain international order are either obsolete or in need of serious revision.
Ahead of the General Assembly, some expect the meeting to have a different tone from last year when wary world leaders weren't prepared for Trump's brand or style of diplomacy or for his determination to push an "America first" agenda. This time around they know what to expect.
"A lot of leaders have gamed out how to deal with the president," said Jon Alterman, senior vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "They will be nice to him in person, but will work to create broad coalitions to block or undermine a lot of the president's initiatives because they think they are misguided. They'll try to use this meeting to advance strategies that promote their vision and not the president's, but not rub the president's face in it."
Stewart Patrick, a former State Department official in President George W. Bush's administration who is now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, said Trump is "abdicating global leadership and retreating into narrow-minded nationalism" and that his approach "provides few incentives for other countries to align themselves with American purposes."
"The administration's unilateralism is wearing thin, as (U.N.) member states tire of America's browbeating and unwillingness to compromise," he wrote on Wednesday. "Next week, the president will encounter a more skeptical global audience, woke to the reality that his administration's diplomacy is all take and no give. "
Getting the Trump administration to change course, however, may be difficult, considering its foreign policy trajectory.
When former Secretary of State John Kerry left the State Department for the last time on January 19, 2017, he told diplomats that the United States was "more engaged in more places in this world with greater positive impact than at any time in American history."
His assertion was arguable at the time. But if it was true then, it is no longer.
The seeds of the retreat were planted even before Trump fired his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, in March, and the departures the next month of his chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn, and national security adviser, H.R. McMaster.
In his first several months, Trump withdrew from a trans-Pacific trade deal, the Paris climate accord and pulled the U.S. out of the U.N.'s science, educational and cultural organization. He repeatedly questioned the relevance of NATO, the utility of other multilateral groups and organizations, insulted the leaders of U.S. allies and pared back the Obama administration's rapprochement with Cuba. In December, against the advice of his national security team, he recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
But since Tillerson, Cohn and McMaster left and were replaced with Mike Pompeo, Larry Kudlow and John Bolton, the pace of the retreat has intensified and heading into the General Assembly appears set to increase.
In the last six months alone, Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the U.N. Human Rights Council, yanked funding for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, halted virtually all assistance to the Palestinians themselves and re-ignited the Jerusalem dispute by moving the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv.
In the same time frame, the administration has also imposed sanctions on NATO ally Turkey, slashed its contributions to Syria stabilization efforts, withdrawn from the Iran nuclear deal, sharply reduced refugee admissions, threatened to prosecute International Criminal Court employees if the tribunal even opens an investigation into alleged war crimes by U.S. troops, started a trade war with China and suggested the U.S. might quit the World Trade Organization.
Two areas where the administration has tried outreach — with North Korea and Russia — have been criticized or viewed with extreme skepticism by many foreign policy veterans, Republicans and Democrats alike.
Trump has met the leaders of both nations at summits that produced questionable results.
And, while he has claimed progress on the North Korea front that may yet pan out, the engagement has yet to achieve any concrete sign of success on the desired result of denuclearization.

Lost, Found, Reborn - The Crazy Tale of Two Wedding Rings!
This story is one I've been wanting to write for a long time. I have already shared it with a few friends, but here we go. It begins simply............I lost my wedding ring.
When Glen and I were married in 1984, we were both poor as church mice. He didn't want a ring as he worked in the trades and it just wasn't a safe thing to wear, so we bought him an 18" gold serpentine chain. I fidget, so didn't want a ring with anything that stuck up - not a gem, not a sculptural element. I would have ended up twirling it constantly and driving everyone crazy.
The best option financially that fit the bill was a simple ring in the style above. The small diamonds are inset so that the whole surface of the ring is flat. Of course it came in several sizes (the diamonds getting bigger as the price rose), but we could only afford the most modest version. That was fine with me. I was just happy to begin my new life with Glen and as a symbol of our choice to spend our lives together, it was perfect.
When the oldest of my three kids was in grade 11, he took a great class that taught a variety of fun skills including jewellery casting. He wanted to make me a silver ring of his own design, but needed to know my ring size. So I pulled off my wedding ring - something I NEVER did - and let him measure it. This is the moment I totally messed up. I didn't put the ring back on right away, just sat on the couch talking with him while holding the ring in my hand.
It was over three hours before I realized the ring was no longer on my finger and I had no idea where I dropped it. For the next several years Glen and I carefully checked the vacuum bag after sweeping and regularly dug into the folds of the couch I had been sitting on. It was no use. My ring was gone and I was heartbroken. It may have been simple, but it was filled with memories. Finally. as we neared our wedding anniversary, I decided I wanted to replace it. We headed out together and picked the same design, just one more up the scale. It wasn't the original, but the symbolism was still the same.
Now is where it gets really fun. We sold our house that same fall and were packing up everything to prepare for the move to our new home. Magically, the ring appeared, but you'll never guess where. It was at the back on a shelf in our wall unit behind two rows of books!!! How it arrived at this location and why did I not hear it drop onto the shelf if it fell out of my hands here is a mystery that will never have an answer.
I was so happy to have the ring back and began wearing it on my right hand. Unfortunately the fit was not great and it kept dropping off, especially while we were travelling in Europe exploring Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Many days I would realize my ring was missing while we were out touring, only to sigh with relief when we got back to the hotel to find the maid had turned it in. Something had to be done.
Years ago I had connected with an amazing, uber talented goldsmith - Pernilla Ahrnstedt of Aurum-Argentum on Granville Island - and included her story in Fame'd Magazine. I made an appointment to have her resize the original to match the new one and then find a way to combine them into one ring. We went over several designs and in the end decided the best choice was to have her create a burnished gold spacer ring, then fuse the three together.
I just picked up my new/old ring this week and couldn't be more thrilled! It not only has sentimental value, but a unique history that is fun to share. Now to find my son's ring which I also lost, found and then lost again at the new house. SIGH! Another story in the making.

TSCHAK!' is a card game in which everybody gets to play with exactly the same hands. But who will be the most successful in avoiding the troglodytes and bigger monsters, while going for the fattest treasures, or even better, the legendary rings of power?
The card deck in TSCHAK! is composed of twelve wizards (blue), twelve warriors (green), twelve dwarfs (red) and four artifacts (purple). Before the first round, a player receives three wizards, warriors and dwarfs and one artifact. (When playing with fewer than four players, deal out hands to virtual players; these are not used during the current round.) Set up the keep by placing one monster and one treasure tile face up on each of the three levels.
Players now assault the keep, trying to avoid the monsters and claim treasure. On the first level, players choose one card from their hand, reveal it, choose another, reveal it, choose a third, and reveal it. A player must create a team of adventurers with three different colors, and the strengths of these teams (the sum of the cards' values) are then compared. (The chameleon wizard with a ? equals the strongest wizard on the table. The artifact doubles the weakest character on your team.) The weakest team gets the monster card, which costs points, and the strongest team gets the treasure card, usually positive points. Ties are broken in favor of the strongest wizard, then in favor of the wizard with the wand, then the strongest warrior, and so on.
On the second level, players reveal one card, then a pair of cards, then compare strengths. On the third level, players reveal three cards at the same time. Players then compare the last card in hand, gaining 0-3 gold depending on the strength of that final card.
Once all ten cards have been played, each player passes his whole hand to his left neighbour, a new dungeon is created, and you now play with the same cards as the player sitting to your right. After four rounds, the game ends and players tally their points. Some treasures and monsters are worth a set number of positive or negative points; others are worth the square of the number of them you've collected (whether positive or negative); additional treasures have special abilities, like eliminating one monster card from the tiles you've collected. The player with the highest score wins.
Good hand management, double-guessing, a tad of luck, and the victory is yours!

THE HISTORY OF LUISA VIA ROMA
5 March 2016 5 March 2016 Posted in FashionTagged THE HISTORY OF LUISA VIA ROMA
HOW IS A SECRET OF A PHENOMENON COMMERCIAL AND CULTURAL SO IMPORTANT?
THE E-COMMERCE PLATFORM LUISAVIAROMA.COM, EVERY DAY VISITED BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE PLANET.
The story takes us back to the late 1920s when Frenchwoman Luisa Jaquin married Florentine Lido Panconesi and opened a boutique selling straw hats in Paris. Lido Panconesi, who loved to bet on horses, at one point lost all his money at the Arc de Triomphe and they escaped to Brazil. In Brazil, they made a small fortune and not long after they moved back to Europe, relocating to Florence, Italy where Luisa opened a small hat boutique on via Roma.
At the time, women changed their hats three times a day: in the morning, for tea and in the evening. Lido Panconesi slowly expanded the store, adding clothes and building his own factory to produce them. In 1968, he sold the factory which had become too much of a commitment.
While still in school, Andrea Panconesi, Luisa's grandson, started dressing the windows and flew to Paris on his first buying trip. Through one of his connections, Andrea had found out that a Japanese designer who was showing there at the moment had very innovative and avant-garde designs and he wanted to have a closer look at him. The designer turned out to be Kenzo and Luisa Via Roma was the first store in Europe to present the Japanese designer's Fall/Winter 1968/69 collection.
Since Andrea Panconesi's first revolutionary choice, Luisaviaroma has grown as a constantly innovative hunter for emergent fashion talents. Many of the major fashion houses of today were just beginning to assert themselves when they were introduced to LUISAVIAROMA's selection.
The concept of LUISAVIAROMA has been established gradually throughout the years, and as early as the 1980s, it had become a true reference point for devotees of luxury and fashion, flourishing as one of the most famous boutiques in the world. Panconesi and his buyers are still in the front row at fashion shows in Paris, New York, London and Milan, where they choose the most avant-garde and chic pieces of major international designers to take back to the company headquarters in Florence.
Westuff becomes the first alternative news publication to write about art, fashion and music. Andrea Panconesi acts as publisher and the editorial staff includes Stefano Tonchi for fashion, Maria Luisa Frisa for art and Bruno Casini for music. Kyle Bradfield also shares his creative genius with LUISAVIAROMA. Kyle's profound understanding of beauty and unique abilities give Luisa Via Roma's windows the elegance of a true visionary.
LUISAVIAROMA branches into e-commerce on Luisaviaroma.com, created as a reaction to the desire to satisfy the expectations of the most demanding customers who, despite being abroad, demand the same service and quality that the physical location in Via Roma is famous for.
With the addition of the creative marketing of Felice Limosani, the store begins to arrange events in order to enhance communication with companies such as Nokia, FIAT, Puma, Adidas, Missoni, Lacoste, Levi's, TIM and Coca-Cola, applying new experiential marketing techniques. LUISAVIAROMA's starting point has always been the true belief that clients are not satisfied with mere products, but are looking for unconventional experiences as well.
LUISAVIAROMA undergoes rennovations, launching in a new extended 360° vision of the concept of shopping that combined eco-conscious principles, an interactive website, exceptional service and an emotionally engaging commitment to the satisfaction of each client. A timeless storefront is crafted in exclusively local materials that are eco-friendly and energy saving.
The perimetres for restructuring the three store boutique, LUISAVIAROMA, include the principles of economic sustainability and the conservation of energy resources.
The combination of materials, LED lighting and local enterprises create a multimedia area where new trends in international fashion intersected with the issue of environmental protection. On the top floor and terrace, this intersection with fashion and nature invites you to enjoy the restaurant that welcomes clients looking to taste a variety of Italian treats.
LUISAVIAROMA celebrates 10 years of online activity with a grand three-day party, FIRENZE4EVER… It's Magic!, inviting the 40 most influential fashion bloggers from all over the world to create their own multibrand looks and do photoshoots, complete with professional photographers, makeup artist and hair stylists provided by LUISAVIAROMA.
Today, FIRENZE4EVER takes place each season, prior to all fashion weeks, transforming Florence into one giant fashion hotspot and attracting international recognition of the participating brands and partners, as well as the blogger guests.

Staples Fires Paper Supplier with Questionable Green Track Record
GreenBiz Editors
Sunday, February 10, 2008 - 5:00pm
Staples Inc. reportedly canceled all contracts with a Singapore-based paper company because of concerns over its deforestation practices.
Until late last month, Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) supplied Staples with between 5 and 9 percent of its total paper supply. According to Reuters, Staples stopped doing business with APP because there was no indication the company was making progress in protecting the environment.
Other companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia also have severed business relations with APP, the Wall Street Journal reported. Remaining an APP customer was "at great peril to our brand," Mark Buckley, Staples' vice president of environmental issues, told the Wall Street Journal.
"We decided engagement was not possible anymore," Buckley told the Journal. "We haven't seen any indication that APP has been making any positive strides" to protect the environment.
Greenpeace has accused APP, one of the world's largest paper companies, of illegal logging in Chinese forests. APP had also been accused of illegal logging in Indonesia, which APP denied.

Ryanair Wins Case Against Compensation Claims Solicitors - Good or Bad for Consumers?
Ryanair Wins Case Against Compensation Claims Solicitors – Good or Bad for Consumers?
Ryanair has applauded a decision by London's Court of Appeal which ruled in the airline's favour over the way in which it communicates with customers about so-called 'denied boarding' compensation. The case was brought against Ryanair by a firm of solicitors who specialise in claiming refunds and compensation from airlines under Europe's generous EC261 regulations.
Claiming cash compensation, in some cases up to the value of €600, should be relatively simple but a number of companies have sprung up to do the work on behalf of consumers. They promise to take all the leg work out of claiming compensation but, of course, it comes at a price and these firms will take a slice of any compensation that's paid out.
But the Irish low-cost airline has been refusing to deal with what it calls "claim chaser" companies. Instead, Ryanair insists on only communicating directly with consumers and paying out any owed compensation straight to the customer – bypassing the flight refund agencies even when they filed the initial paperwork.
The purpose of this tactic is pretty obvious – reduce the number of compensation claims made by consumers. Despite the EC261 regulations being around for years, many consumers still don't know when they can make a claim, how they should go about doing it and what they should do if the airline initially dismisses their claim.
Flight refund companies may well be completely unnecessary but they've helped a lot of consumers make claims they didn't even realise they were entitled to. Other consumers realise they could get more money if they submitted the claim themselves but they'd rather save the time and effort by getting a solicitor to do it on a no win, no fee arrangement.
In the past, Ryanair has faced criticism over its handling of compensation claims, with allegations that the carrier has unfairly dismissed legitimate claims and made the process obscure and difficult. The Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom has been a vocal critic of Ryanair's claim process and recently started legal action against the airline over its refusal to settle claims caused by staff strikes.
The recent court ruling, though, says Ryanair has a claims procedure that "enables a passenger to claim compensation with a minimum of effort".
Ryanair may well have a point – these companies have obviously discovered a lucrative market to make a good profit with very little work actually required on their behalf. Consumers could stand to make a lot more from their legtimate claims if they did it themselves but many obviously see the benefit of using a "claim chaser".

After gathering all your ingredients, chop the onions and garlic semi-finely and set aside in a bowl. Next, add about ¼ cup vegetable oil to an iron pot and set on medium-medium high heat. Once the oil starts to heat up, toss in the onions and garlic.
When the onions turn a warm yellow color, add your ground beef. Remember to break up the beef and stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure it cooks evenly.
Next add the cooked sausage (optional) and seasoning, stiring evenly. After the seasoning is mixed in, stir in the canned tomatoes.
Now it's time to add the bourbon and beef broth. Toss in ¾ cup of bourbon to start and then add ½ cup of beef broth. We recommend starting with less and adding more as you go.
Once you feel your ratios are right, let it simmer for about 40 mins. Once that is complete, it's time to taste test. Add what you think you need to make it just right (i.e. if you think the bourbon is too strong then add more beef broth to dilute).
Lastly, add the kidney beans and let simmer for 10 minutes (adding these last helps to avoid mushy beans), and if you don't feel like cooking, we recommend checking out this KFC Promo before ordering takeout.

Preparing to ride a V-Strom 1000XT along the Dalton Highway
by Chelsea Motorcycles Group | May 25, 2018 | Suzuki
In 2014, Gordon Stuart rode his Suzuki GSX650F 6,000 miles from England up to Nordkapp, Norway – the most northerly point in Europe.
In doing so, he became known as the 'Arctic Rider' and raised over £5000 for charity in the process. This year, he will undertake a new challenge and will head to the Dalton Highway in Alaska on a 2018 V-Strom 1000XT. We asked him about his preparation, anticipation, and also if he had any fears when embarking on such a journey.
With the growing popularity of adventure biking comes the question of where on the globe to conquer next. Many people have selected the harsh, dry and barren lands of Africa or the long, twisting mountainous roads of Eastern Europe. For Gordon though, his next challenge had to be something different – something that few people have achieved.
The Dalton Highway in Alaska is a 414 mile stretch of road connecting the Prudhoe Bay Oil Fields on the North Alaskan coast to the country's interior. It is one of the most isolated roads in the United States. It is a primitive, mostly gravel road which presents considerable risk to cars and bikes. Locals often advise that anyone travelling on the Dalton should bring survival gear.
The Dalton will be the last stretch in a 7,000 mile journey lasting three weeks that will see him pass through Calgary, The Rocky Mountains and the Alaskan Highway.
"I was looking around at what I could do next – I thought about Africa and Europe but wanted something different that was similar to my previous Arctic trip," Gordon tells us when asked why he chose the Dalton Highway for his next trip. "I came across the Dalton highway and spoke to the few people that have ridden it and it sounded like the perfect challenge."
"The road conditions can be difficult. If it's a good day, then there shouldn't be any issues. If it's been raining however, stretches of the road – from what I have heard – can become almost unrideable even on a bike designed for it. I might have to make a decision on whether to ride on or not if that happens – at the end of the day, I'm no professional and it may be better to camp up and try again the following day."
However, while no professional by his own admission, Gordon's previous experience shows he is no stranger to long rides and dealing with difficult conditions: his 6,000 mile Norway trip in 2014 was only the start of his desire to ride long distances on two wheels. In 2016, he completed the Iron Butt Challenge – an 874 mile ride from Lands End to John O'Groats to be completed in under 24 hours. He did it in 18 hours and 33 minutes. So what about this trip has he never experienced before?
"Another big concern of mine, and this is no joke, is bears! I'm going to be camping a lot and I've had to study the particulars of what to do in an environment where bears are very common – things like burying food away from where you sleep!"
It's not all negative though as he also spoke about the benefits of being out on the road, just man and machine, away from the stresses of everyday life.
"The scenery is one of the things I'm looking forward to the most," Gordon explains. "The landscape along the route i've chosen is breathtaking and seeing the magnitude of our world along the way gives you a real sense of humility.
"I think being on the bike, having time to myself to think and reflect would be the second thing. When you're out on the road, overcoming the challenges that come along the way, you get a real appreciation for how insignificant the stresses of everyday life can be."
The stresses of everyday life will fall to Gordon's wife in his absence as she takes care of their two young children for the three weeks he will be away. He spoke about how his family, although it will be a strain whilst he is away, support him in his decision.
"I have an amazing wife, who although she is nervous both for me and about handling things whilst I am away, supports me in getting out on the bike and doing things like this. She knows it's for a good cause and the charities I'm raising money for have helped our children too. I will miss them dearly when I'm out on the road, but it makes me appreciate what I have even more when I get back."
Like his last trip to Nordkapp, the further north he travels, the more the road conditions and weather will deteriorate and the more he will have to rely on the performance of the machine that carries him. However, the V-Strom 1000XT will be the perfect partner.
"My first thought after riding the bike was that I felt like it will make me a better rider, which has to be a good thing where I'm heading! But with its high stance and long-travel suspension, 19in front wheel – which is a good option as I'll be riding both on and off-road – and tractable, user-friendly V-twin engine and power delivery, it's the ideal companion."
While the trip is certainly scratching a big itch for Gordon, he will also embark on this journey to again raise money for two charities – Cerebra and Tiny Lives Trust. Both charities have helped his family a great deal over the past 20 years and have become very close to his heart.
"Cerebra provide support to families of young children with brain injuries by helping fund the use of specialist equipment, give advice on disability rights like benefits and help with the emotional stress that comes with difficult times," he explains. "My little brother, Robbie, suffered a brain injury when he was very young and Cerebra helped us a great deal, while Tiny Lives Trust have helped me and my wife hugely by taking care of our children who were both born premature."
Gordon's journey will begin on the 26th June where he will leave his hometown of Newcastle and trade two wheels for a flight to Calgary. Once on the ground, the hard work really starts.
