Understanding the history of lesbian sadomasochism, Part 2
The clash of pro- and anti-SM lesbians at the 1982 Barnard Conference is complicated enough to deserve its own post. Again, I reference Anna Robinson's thesis on the history of lesbian sadomasochism.
To be clear, the '82 Barnard Conference did not start the Sex Wars, which had been going since '77 on the west coast (see Robinson Pg. 64), and saw skirmishes like in 1980 when SM lesbians clashed with WAVPM at Berkeley. Robinson says the real starting point of visible lesbian SM in feminist media came in 1975, when Barbara Ruth (aka Barbara Lipschutz aka Drivenwoman) published "Cathexis (on the nature of S&M)" in Hera, reprinted in '77 in Lesbian Tide. (Robinson Pg. 65) Between then and '82, the two sides of the debate were relatively civil, appearing in the same anthologies and conferences. It didn't last.
Held on April 24, 1982, Barnard's ninth annual Scholar and Feminist conference, "Towards a Politics of Sexuality"("The Barnard Conference") was a major engagement. The organizers intended to bring in people of many different perspectives. However, the troubles began when the Barnard College administration panicked less than 24 hours before the conference.
The Barnard College administration who had supported the conference in its long planning stage, alerted by the anti-pornography movement, panicked less than 24 hours before the conference and attempted to confiscate the diary because it contained their letterhead on the invitation and some pictures within were deemed "offensive", before agreeing to reprint it without a trace of Barnard. "In other words, the College effectively paid thousands of dollars to have Barnard's name taken off of the document, thus removing the College's connection to this important body of work", observes the current director of the Barnard Center for Research on Women in the conference's thirtieth incarnation (Jakobsen 2005). Such was the anxiety caused by this ground-breaking conference that subverted the mainstream discourses about sex and women's sexuality. Even a university who ran a feminist conference for almost ten years was made to panic about the impact of this theme because of anti-pornography groups' extremist rhetoric. [Robinson Pg. 73]
The conference itself had even more problems.
Conference goers were met at the entrance with picketing anti-pornography feminists from Women Against Pornography, (and at least in name, Women Against Violence Against Women, and New York Radical Feminists), under the banner of a newly formed "Coalition for a Feminist Sexuality Against Sadomasochism", wearing tee shirts reading "For Feminist Sexuality" on one side and "Against S/M" on the other . [Robinson Pg.74-75]
WAP distributed leaflets maligning the organizers and participants, often with erroneous information, and even people who were not directly involved in the conference. Organizations like SAMOIS and Lesbian Sex Mafia, and S/M lesbians in general, were used to smear the entire conference. WAP starkly polarized the debate, making it for or against pornography, butch-femme and S/M, when the conference actually had a wide variety of topics related to women's sexuality and health.(Robinson Pg.80)
A day later (April 25), LSM organized another event in response.
SM dykes proudly wore their leather to the Speakout, speaking out with their garb, and here addressed the issues that the conference was accused of focussing on, but did not, such as sadomasochism, butch-femme roles and different kinds of desires. [Robinson Pg. 100]
The slandering of the Barnard Conference was just the beginning of a campaign of harassment directed at the organizers (many of whom were at least S/M friendly) and their relatives and employers. The terms of the debate had been successfully framed into pro- versus anti-SM in feminist media.
What we see here is a typical example of a full-blown sex panic….
WAP's actions in discrediting the conference and the subsequent uncritical reporting spread stigma and disgust at the women who embodied sexualities at the bottom of their perceived sexual hierarchy. In trying to disrupt the conference and in intimidating those who attended, WAP was literally trying to make the topic unspeakable. So it doesn't matter if the arguments against SM are factually flawed or run in circles, because public emotion has cultural authority; hyperboles are loud and result in reactionary political action….[Robinson Pg. 93]
Cover of Against Sadomasochism (1982)
The debate that followed over feminism and S/M was largely academic, and heavy on theory instead of practical knowledge. (Robinson Pg. 102-103) In Against Sadomasochism (1982), sado-masochism was described as, at worst, patriarchal false consciousness and, at best, an immature holdover from less enlightened times. Instead of being a primitive form of psychological development, it's a primitive form of political consciousness. (Robinson Pg. 105) (There's also a strong undertone of Judeo-Christian thought, in which bodily pleasure is opposed to spiritual development.)
Studying the articles and letters in feminist/lesbian magazines published in the 1980s, Robinson finds that the debate over S/M was just one of many discussions of lesbian identity and sexuality. Some positioned S/M as a temporary indiscretion to be overcome on the path to feminist enlightenment. ("Just a phase", if you will.) Harsher critics saw S/M as not just a sexual style that might be incompatible with feminism, but a political stance completely opposed to feminism.
Within the anti-SM positions of critics like [Diana H.] Russell and [Lorena Leigh] Saxe, there is no epistemological room for a pro-feminist, extremely political, non-bourgeois sadomasochist who is also a feminist activist involved in actions to fight women's oppression in society. SM is positioned as the opposite of women's liberation. Such extreme statements indicate that these debates were not really about the morality of the personal practice of SM, but instead about the power of definition, visibility and inclusion in the lesbian feminist movement. Conversely, pro-sex feminists, in labelling themselves in this way, created another kind of feminist who was, by implication, "anti-sex". (Robinson Pg.115)

Q: How radio_button can return value in array? For example a have collection radio buttons:
= f.collection_radio_buttons :types, @languages, :itself, :itself, checked: ['java'],
    include_hidden: false, multiple: true do |b|
      .form-check-input
        = b.radio_button
        = b.label

If i select radio_button, params return 'java'. But i need return array. For example ['java'].
Question:
Is it possible return radio_buton with value array?

A:
Is it possible return radio_buton with value array?

Yes.  Here is the type of html you need:
<form method="post" action="/dave" name="languages">
  <%= hidden_field_tag :authenticity_token, form_authenticity_token %>

<input type="radio" name="languages[]" value="java" />Java

<input type="radio" name="languages[]" value="ruby" />Ruby

<input type="radio" name="languages[]" value="python" />Python

  <input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

This is what I see in params:
Parameters: {
"authenticity_token"=>"<omitted>",
"languages"=>["java"],
"submit"=>"Submit"
}

A: I have found solution:
.form-check
    %label
      = t('auth.users.form.roles_label')
    = f.collection_radio_buttons :languages, @languages, :itself, :itself, { checked: ['java'], include_hidden: false }, { multiple: true } do |b|
      .form-check-input
        = b.radio_button
        = b.label

After seeing a new surge in DMR in our area, I figured I would make everyone aware who does not know what Digital Mobile Radio is.
DMR is a true digital signal on a true digital carrier unlike DSTAR which is a digital signal riding an analog carrier. This has the advantage of increased range and no "R2D2" effect that plagues DSTAR when trying to operate with less than optimum signals. Like DSTAR, DMR offers many talk groups over a single repeater, and each repeater has 2 "time slots" that allows 2 users on the frequency at the same time. As we recently disvovered a pair of DMR HTs makes a pretty secure simplex set up as well, being that there are many options that can be set for each channel, greatly reducing the chance of anyone stumbling on you. If someone does not have the same settings as you, they will never hear you even if on the same frequency.
Coverage with DMR, determined by our informal tests, is much better than analog (in UHF) and even slightly better than VHF. Our local DMR is at 1500' and I can use a DMR HT with an external mag mount out to about 90 miles, while it takes 25 watts on VHF to make the same trip. Sound quality with a good signal is almost spooky clear and true.
I still use all modes, but DMR has now figured prominently in all of my communications plans as a means to have both reasonably secure comms and the ability to talk around the world from an HT as long as the internet connection to the repeater is up.
Im using a Motorola XTS1500 right now as my HT. I have my local ham freq. in it and all the digital ch. are of LEO, Fire, EMS. I dont have any digital ham freq. yet.
The use of digital hotspot now have really made a big difference with the DMR modes.


People with diabetes who quit smoking tobacco may have a lower risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases – and weight gain following smoking cessation does not mitigate the health benefits among these patients, according to one study.
Long-term, heavy smoking is a risk factor for cognitive decline, researchers found in an unrelated study.
HOUSTON, March 5, 2019 — Two new studies point to yet more reasons to kick the tobacco habit. In one, researchers found quitting smoking is worth it for people with diabetes despite worries about potential weight gain. In the other, scientists discovered smoking might have a much greater impact on the cognitive function than originally thought. Both studies were presented at the American Heart Association's Epidemiology and Prevention | Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health Scientific Sessions 2019, a premier global exchange of the latest advances in population-based cardiovascular science for researchers and clinicians, held in Houston this week.
In the study on smoking cessation, weight change and the risk of developing or dying from cardiovascular diseases in people with diabetes, researchers analyzed detailed, long-term health information from two studies that included 10,895 men and women with diabetes. Overweight and obesity are risk factors for diabetes, and both diabetes and smoking tobacco are major risk factors for heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events.
Researchers found the benefits of quitting smoking for people with diabetes significantly outweighed the risk of gaining weight, even though weight gain is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Compared to people with diabetes who continued to smoke, the risk for heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases did not increase among recent quitters who gained up to 11 pounds (5.0 kg) or even those who gained more than 11 pounds. The risk for cardiovascular disease was 34 percent lower among recent quitters (six or fewer years since quitting) without weight gain; 25 percent lower among long-term quitters (more than six years since smoking cessation); and 41 percent lower among never-smoking adults with diabetes.
"Weight gain concerns should not stop people from being encouraged to quit smoking after they're diagnosed with diabetes. And for those who do quit, preventing excessive weight gain would further maximize the health benefits of smoking cessation," said Gang Liu, Ph.D., lead author of the study and a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of Nutrition at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston.
A second study spotlights tobacco's link to cognitive decline in the general population. Cognitive decline means that a person's memory, reasoning and other mental functions are impaired over time.
Although tobacco use has been associated with a higher risk for cognitive decline, it's difficult to measure just how much of an impact smoking has because smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to drop out or die before the end of long-term studies, according to study author Aozhou Wu, M.H.S., a Ph.D. student in epidemiology at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
"As a consequence, smokers' cognitive measurements in studies were likely to be missing in other studies because they're lost to follow-up," Wu said.
Wu and colleagues adapted a methodology that considers a smoker's likelihood of dropping out of a study or dying from tobacco-related causes during the study period to analyze the cognitive impact of tobacco use among 4,960 adults who were free of cognitive impairment at the study's start. Researchers followed the participants for about five years, with regular assessments of the participants' memory, language function and logical thinking ability.
When the researchers used the new study methods and compared people who never smoked tobacco to those who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 25 years or more, they found that the tobacco's harmful effect on cognition among the smokers was more than twice as much as they had observed using the traditional study methods.
Co-authors of Liu's study are: Yang Hu, Sc.D.; Geng Zong, Ph.D.; Frank B. Hu, M.D., Ph.D.; JoAnn E. Manson, M.D., Dr.P.H.; Kathryn M. Rexrode, M.D.; Eric B. Rimm, Sc.D.; and Qi Sun, M.D., Sc.D.

Zombie Holocaust is a lively history of one of the most enduring fictional archetypes: the shambling, stalking, lethal living dead. From mentally enslaved cane field workers in Haiti, first described in early-20th-century travelogues, to the mindless hordes of soulless killers that regularly destroy our civilization onscreen and on the printed page, the zombie has undergone an eye-popping transformation. With wry humor and unflinching attention to detail, this colorful book celebrates these creatures in all their fetid glory. Author David Flint excavates early accounts of how voodoo was believed to reanimate the dead, unearths horror movie incarnations from Bela Lugosi's White Zombie to George Romero's cult classics to recent Eurotrash zombies, showcases graphic novel and comic book versions like EC's putrefying nasties and Marvel's Tales of the Zombie, and much more. The book is both a fun pop culture survey and a deeper study of what underlies the undiminished popularity of these terrifying, tragic figures in an anxious, post-9/11 world.


Calyx's mission is to connect children with nature, community and self, and nurture the next generation of environmental and social justice leaders by providing low and no cost, place-based, nature and service learning experiences for children, families and the community.
Calyx School is the 347-acre classroom at South Whidbey State Park (SWSP). Founded in 2011, Calyx works to connect children with nature, community and self, and to nurture the next generation of environmental and social justice leaders by providing low and no cost place-based, nature, and service learning experiences for children and families.
Calyx Community Arts School began in October 2011. It has served more than 150 children through its year-round outdoor learning programs, which includes its core year-round learning cooperative, summer programs, and an after-school program. Calyx is a collaborative work in progress, with a dynamic group of individuals and families – parents, grandparents, educators, and children – working together to create a progressive alternative learning community on Whidbey Island. It is not an entirely novel idea, we know. Many have dreamt of such a school. A school that is unlike school as we know it. A school that honors and nurtures the whole child. A school that integrates the natural world and the arts in all aspects of learning. A school grounded in the local and embracing the global, while celebrating diversity in all its forms. A school that is inspired by and speaks the many languages of children – the languages of the imagination, art, music, movement, drama, story, the natural world, among others – and uses these languages to foster a love of learning through truly multilingual education.


We are very excited to introduce 3LLL.org.
We are a nonprofit organization. Our goal is to raise awareness for 22q13 deletion syndrome. Funds from our online store, fundraising and events will help our families within the west coast region and throughout the country.
We would like our families to have the opportunity to attend 22q13/Phelan-McDermid Foundation events.
My granddaughter Isabelle was diagnosed/confirmed with 22q13 February 18, 2011 at the age 2 years and 2 months old. We are so grateful for Izzy! and, very fortunate for the early diagnoses. Isabelle has learned so much with help of her therapists and family. Being a grandparent of a 22q13 child can be very challenging at times and very rewarding.
22q13 children have many needs and it can be expensive, my hope is to be able to help families. Raising awareness is a start.


The Cheese Well lies at the side of the Southern Upland Way where the footpath traverses the northern flank of Minchmoor. This section of "the longest walk in Scotland" follows the old drove road from Yarrow to Traquair and the wayside spring was long an important source of clear drinking water for travellers. The Cheese Well is shown on an engraving of a map drawn by Timothy Pont around 1600 and it is said the name was derived from the custom of leaving small presents of cheese to thank and placate the fairies. An inscribed stone marks the site.

Meet Patrick Green Beans, Host of Winter Light Summer Heat on 99.3 WBTV-LP!
Meet Patrick Green Beans, host of Winter Light, Summer Heat. His program focuses on psychedelic rock and folk music.
A: It is a music program on every week that puts a spotlight on psychedelic rock and contemporary folk. I think what sets my show apart from other shows is that its playing genres that aren't really represented on other stations. What I focus on is not exactly the most popular types of music currently. I also put a big emphasis on trying to play music that isn't just from the United States or the English speaking world, but trying to get different voices. Ones that you don't usually hear on a commercial radio station.
Q: What is different about WBTV-LP?
A: To me, WBTV-LP is different than other stations because it has a real focus on community and education. It gives the opportunity for people to come in and learn a technical skill, how to run a radio station, as well as the exercise of putting a show together every week. I think this focus on community is giving a lot of people an opportunity they would not have otherwise, as well as new opportunity for listeners to hear something different. To hear voices that aren't really represented, it adds a diversity that wouldn't necessarily be there without public access stations like WBTV-LP.
Listen to Winter Light Summer Heat every Wednesday from 6:00-8:00 P.M. on 99.3 WBTV-LP, or online at 993wbtv.org.


At a leisurely pace, one can complete this easy and fascinating walk in about 90 minutes. This being said, roads can be in rough shape, Wi-Fi may be slow, and not everyone speaks English. This afternoon you may choose to go on an optional "Canopy Walk" excursion, located within the cloud forest. October 27 — November 08, We will have time to relax in or around the various pools.
We'll go for an easy stroll in the forest; this is a good spot to watch for the scarlet macaws that nest and feed throughout the reserve, among other things.
The Best Time to Visit The country has two distinct seasons - dry high season and wet green season. About kinds of butterfly are found at Monteverde. This afternoon we have a guided tour of the "Butterfly Garden" where butterflies and other endemic insects are raised and protected in a controlled environment allowing scientists to study them -- their place in the food chain and their response to things like increased pollution and climate change depending on the timing of today's journey, we may accomplish this sightseeing tomorrow afternoon. Now the base of the volcano is host to several different ecosystems, including secondary rainforest and clear, open spaces with relatively thin vegetation. The other crater is called Botos Lagoon which contains cold water.
The springs feature many hot pools with different temperatures fed by individual springs and two swim-up bars. It's easy to research and book your vacation onlinelook for a place to stay or get information about a certain destination. In summer, you can also spot green turtles laying eggs nearby, arrange canopy tours and sunset boat tours. This is a small but worthwhile park, as it is here that we are able to witness the northernmost Pacific coastal rain forest remaining intact in Costa Rica, unique in that it is the transition zone into the tropical dry forests of the northwest. The country is also well-organized and accustomed to foreign visitors with certain expectations concerning comfort and levels of service and amenities.


Frank Canters is a professor of cartography, GIS and remote sensing at the Department of Geography of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and head of the Cartography and GIS Research Group. His research focuses on the development of remote sensing and GIS driven approaches for monitoring and modelling of urban dynamics, with a particular interest in urban ecology and urban sustainability issues. He is the author of more than 80 refereed publications covering a wide range of topics, including mapping and monitoring of urban sprawl, inferring urban land use from land cover, urban green monitoring, analysis of urban form, remote-sensing driven calibration of urban growth models, and impact of urban growth on runoff and groundwater recharge. Developing methods to extract information from remotely sensed data that is useful for local and regional decision making is an important concern in much of the work done by his lab.
Earlier in his career, Frank's research focused on map projection topics. He is the author of two handbooks on small-scale map projection choice and map projection design. One of the best known outcomes of this work is the Canters projection, a minimum-error world map projection launched in the early 90s and still used in geography textbooks today.

Regional Bus Tour Stops at East to Show Student Voice in Action
Lakota East High School was one of just four stops on a bus tour designed to showcase innovative learning spaces around the Greater Cincinnati region. Hosted by the Hamilton County Educational Service Center (HCESC), the tour gave 55 local educators and students an inside look at each school's journey to redesigning their spaces and leading change.
"There are amazing things happening all over the Cincinnati area and people aren't always aware because they are so busy in their corner of the world doing great things for kids," said Meghan Lawson, coordinator of instructional services for HCESC. "We wanted to bring everyone together for a world-class experience where they could travel the 275 loop to see what kinds of great things are happening for our kids."
While East was celebrated for successes like the transformation of one of its locker bays into a flexible learning space and its media center recently turned "Innovation Hub" to coincide with the rollout of 1:1 devices for students, Principal Suzanna Davis insisted that the emphasis at East be on how student voice made all of it possible and all the more impactful.
"No one can tell our story better than our students. Their voices are the driving force behind so many of the positive things happening around East every day," said Davis, who looked on as her students facilitated everything from the welcome aboard the bus to the send-off after the student panel.
Leading the charge were students Landon Meador, Hannah Fuller, Grace Phair, Beakal Amsalu, Max Chandler, Caleb Hoch and Kelly Johantges. Each one hosted a different group, highlighting on their tour the spaces that most personally represented student voice to them. Spaces included the theater, main office, Spark news magazine lab, Innovation Hub and select classrooms.
"Mrs. Davis has always been that person who has pushed us to be at the table and to talk and use our voice. I don't think we would have had this 'culture shift' without her," said junior Johantges, who chose to take her group to the main office. She has appreciated the administration always having an open door into the space where so many of the day-to-day decisions are made.
"In Spark, you pick a topic that you care about and you spend a month researching and writing about it. That's the best way to amplify student voice," said senior Meador, who made the Spark lab a major stop on his tour. "Student voice has been around for us for 30 years and now we're taking what's been done in the paper and putting it to work in the entire school."
Students concluded their stop with a student-led panel in the Innovation Hub.
"The students were so incredibly invested and articulate and you can tell that they live, eat, breathe the work that they're talking about; it's real work," Lawson said. "To see them lead the way and even plan this visit for us was really inspiring."

Italy to raise billions with windfall tax on energy companies
Italy plans to charge energy companies that have benefited from the surge in oil and gas prices with a 50 percent one-off windfall tax on profits next year
The levy has a rate equal to 50 percent of their 2022 corporate income, some 10 percent higher than the average income reported between 2018 and 2021
It also has a ceiling equal to 25 percent of the value of net assets at the end of 2021
ROME, Italy: A draft of the government's 2023 budget seen by Reuters indicates that Italy plans to charge energy companies that have benefited from the surge in oil and gas prices with a 50 percent one-off windfall tax on profits next year.
The levy has a rate equal to 50 percent of their 2022 corporate income, some 10 percent higher than the average income reported between 2018 and 2021. It also has a ceiling equal to 25 percent of the value of net assets at the end of 2021.
After the release, shares in ENI and Enel were down some 2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, below Italy's blue chip index, but broadly in line with Europe's STOXX index for the energy sector, which fell 1.7 percent.
Rome expects to raise some $2.66 billion from the tax, which replaces a similar levy in force this year that caused criticism and refusals to pay from multiple firms, and follows a framework proposed by the European Commission.
Under the new terms, some 7,000 producers and sellers of electricity, natural gas and petrol products must pay the amount due by mid-2023.
Energy companies have until 30th November to make the final payment on the current windfall tax, which has a 25 percent rate and is calculated on the value of operations subject to the VAT sales tax.
Based on the 40 percent down payment made by the end of August, total revenues are expected to be worth around $5 billion, which is less than half of the preliminary estimate of the Treasury.

What does it mean to be alone? In a world without consequences, what would you do?
In the blink of an eye, three people in different parts of the globe find themselves removed from the constraints of society when the rest of humanity vanishes. Afforded a wider perspective on their lives, each character is forced to examine both their place in the world and the pivotal moments on which their very existence may depend. Ranging from the streets of London and Los Angeles to a demon-haunted forest in the shadow of Mount Fuji, Celeste is a story about the choices we make and the courage it takes to make them.
"Beautiful to look at and heavy with symbolism, Celeste demands re-reading - or perhaps a full orchestral score."
"It's a book that will keep you thinking long after you've closed it, and you'll want to return to its images afterwards."
"With Celeste, Culbard has demonstrated the depth of his talent as a comics creator, combining emotional depth and thoughtful storytelling with otherworldly art."

RG Equestrian, Training for the long term health of your horse.
A trainer specialising in producing young horses correctly and sympathetically and the re-training of horses with severe behavioural and training issues.
Our brick built, century old court yard is a beautiful peaceful setting, allowing visiting horses to keep an eye on what's going on whilst having thier own space to relax in.
The abundance of off road hacking means we can get the youngsters out and about easily and allows re-hab horses to relax away from the school and open up their paces, also proliferation of hunt jumps means we always have a pop over the odd one in a relaxed fashion whenever we are out and about.
Richards unique skill set means he is able to deal with the most difficult of problems with horses, a combination of therapy, ground work and ridden work combined with using the best practitioners in the country results in a holistic approach to training that isn't found anywhere else.
When a horse arrives for training they will undergo a thorough assessment, this includes looking at teeth, back, assessing saddle fit and construction as well as ground work and ridden assessment. This will take place during the first week and means that Richard can plan out the horses work and allows the owner to track the horses progress.
Owner visits and participation in the work is encouraged, Richard finds it advantageous if the horse is ridden, where appropriate, by the owner before they return home to ensure that the work is understood and they are happy and confidant moving forward with the horses education on their return. He also offers a follow up service (milage dependant), this can be coaching sessions at home to ensure training is progressing on the right track or meeting you at a show or other locations to coach you on-site. Once you take your horse home we are still available for continued support.
Get the best start for your young horse. With progressive ground work Richard will make it an easy learning experience for your horse to accept the bridle and saddle and the aids before riding him away. Richard does not use round pens, dumb jockey or dummies of any kind.
Only the finest saddles are used during backing to ensure there is no discomfort for the young horse.
Bucking, rearing, napping. Whatever the issue Richard will do his best to get to the bottom of it.
Then we can work on building a successful relationship between you and your horse.


SAN JOSE, Calif. � Encrypted email, secure instant messaging and other privacy services are booming in the wake of the National Security Agency's recently revealed surveillance programs. But the flood of new computer security services is of variable quality, and much of it, experts say, can bog down computers and isn't likely to keep out spies.
In the end, the new geek wars � between tech industry programmers on the one side and government spooks, fraudsters and hacktivists on the other � may leave people's PCs and business computer systems encrypted to the teeth but no better protected from hordes of savvy code crackers.
For those who want to take matters into their own hands, encryption software has been proliferating across the Internet since the Snowden revelations broke. Heml.is � Swedish for ''secret'' � is marketed as a secure messaging app for your phone. MailPile aims to combine a Gmail-like user friendly interface with a sometimes clunky technique known as public key encryption. Younited hopes to keep spies out of your cloud storage, and Pirate Browser aims to keep spies from seeing your search history. A host of other security-centered programs with names like Silent Circle, RedPhone, Threema, TextSecure, and Wickr all promise privacy.
Many of the people behind these programs are well known for pushing the boundaries of privacy and security online. Heml.is is being developed by Peter Sunde, co-founder of notorious file sharing website The Pirate Bay. Finland's F-Secure, home of Internet security expert Mikko Hypponen, is behind Younited.
Dreadlocked hacker hero Moxie Marlinspike is the brains behind RedPhone, while Phil Zimmerman, one of the biggest names in privacy, is trying to sell the world on Silent Circle. Even flamboyant file sharing kingpin Kim Dotcom is getting in on the secure messaging game with an encrypted email service.
The quality of these new programs and services is uneven, and a few have run into trouble. Nadim Kobeissi, developed encrypted instant messaging service Cryptocat in 2011 as an alternative to services such as Facebook chat and Skype.
The Montreal-based programmer received glowing press for Cryptocat's ease of use, but he suffered embarrassment earlier this year when researchers discovered an error in the program's code, which may have exposed users' communications. Kobeissi used the experience to argue that shiny new privacy apps need to be aggressively vetted before users can trust them.
Heml.is also encountered difficulties and angered users when its creators said they wouldn't use open source � or publicly auditable � code. And Silent Circle abruptly dropped its encrypted email service in August, expressing concern that it could not keep the service safe from government intrusion.
''What we found is the encryption services range in quality,'' says George Kurtz, CEO of Irvine, Calif.-based CrowdStrike, a big data, security technology company.
Paris-based Bouygues Telecom told its data storage provider Pogoplug in San Francisco that it needs the data center moved out of the U.S. to get out from under the provisions of U.S. law.
So this month, PogoPlug CEO Daniel Putterman is keeping Bouygues as a client by shipping a multi-million dollar data center, from cabinets to cables, from California to France.

Breathe in and out. Feels good, right? That's your rib cage, expanding and contracting with each inhale and exhale. But your rib cage certainly doesn't do all the work, and if you thought it did, I want you to apologize to the muscles in your back, thorax, and neck.
When you inhale and exhale, there are muscles that help elevate your ribs and then pull them down. We're going to look at a pair of them that do just that: the serratus posterior inferior and superior.
The serratus posterior inferior and serratus posterior superior are two different muscles, but they are mirror images of each other.
Winglike in shape, the superior is situated at the upper part of the posterior thorax, while the inferior is at the lower part.
The serratus posterior superior helps to elevate the upper ribs during inhalation. The serratus posterior inferior, inversely, helps to draw the lower ribs downward and backward during exhalation.
Both muscles attach to various ribs and parts of the spine.
The serratus posterior superior originates on the supraspinal ligament, the ligamentum nuchae, the spinous processes of the upper two to three thoracic vertebrae (T01–T03), as well as the seventh cervical vertebra. It inserts on the upper borders of ribs 2–5, and is innervated by intercostal nerves 2–5.
The serratus posterior inferior originates on the supraspinal ligament, and the spinous processes of the upper two to three lumbar vertebrae (L01–L03) and the lower two thoracic vertebrae (T11–T12). It inserts on the lower borders of ribs 9–12, and is innervated by intercostal nerves 9–12.
The serratus posterior superior is, because of its location (the shoulder girdle region), sometimes a bit of a troublemaker; its pain pattern overlaps with that of other muscles. Deep aches under the shoulder blade or in the back of the shoulder, the point of the elbow, and the pinky side of the wrist and hand are common symptoms of trigger points (muscle knots) in the serratus posterior superior muscle.
What causes trigger points in the serratus posterior superior? Heavy breathing during strenuous activity, or struggling for breath during respiratory illness, such as pneumonia.
Resting the muscle for a few days, or even visiting a chiropractor, can help ease the pain and improve mobility.

GTL, the network engineering and IT services company, has announced disappointing bottomline figures for its September quarter. For 2QFY03, it has reported a seqeuential 35% fall in consolidated net profits. The consolidated topline has grown by a marginal 4%, on a QoQ basis. Not accounting for the other income and extraordinary item figures net profits have still declined by 16%. Fall in other income and jump in extraordinary items have further depressed net profits. Revenues from its network engineering business have grown by 12% in 2QFY03. Overseas focus has led to a considerable growth in Global Tele's revenues from the network engineering business. GTL's call centre operations have registered a 10% growth in the same period. The company's call centre business has customers across verticals like banking, insurance and telecom. Revenues from this business have been growing consistently as more and more multinationals are outsourcing their call centre operations to India due to its low cost proposition. However, on a comparative basis the growth in call centre revenues is rather disappointing as other players like Mphasis have reported 56% QoQ growth in its call centre revenues on a similar base.
The performance of entreprise solutions business of GTL has been disappointing. Enterprise solutions business has degrown by 2% in 2QFY03 on a QoQ basis. The company has been losing business in this segment consistently due to the slowdown in spending on networking technologies. Increasingly companies are focusing more on generating better returns on the investments they have already made on information technology.
Operating margins have also taken a hit, falling by 230 basis points. A 26% and 30% QoQ jump in employee and selling and distribution (S&D) costs has led to this fall in operating margins. Net profits of the company have been affected further due to lower other income and higher extraordinary expenses (Rs 18 m). An appreciating rupee has been the main reason for fall in other income.
At the current market price of Rs 75, the stock is trading at a P/E multiple of 8x its annualised 2QFY03 earnings. Going forward the growth drivers of the company will be its network engineering division and its call centre business. Global Tele on account of being an early entrant in to the call centre business is likely to maintain healthy growth rates in this business. On the other hand performance of its network engineering division will depend largely on the fortunes of the telecom sector. The stock is unlikely to witness any major activity in the short term as investors may choose to put their money in other technology stocks that have shown better performance in the current quarter.

Black Saturday BushfiresPrint Page
The garden commemorates the Black Saturday bushfires of February 2009.
These bushfires were the most devastating in Australian history; 173 people tragically lost their lives, 414 were injured, more than a million wild and domesticated animals were lost and 450,000 hectares of land were burned.
In February 2009, the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments jointly established the $10 million Community Recovery Fund to assist in community development and recovery after the Victorian bushfires. Funding of $2.5 million was allocated for memorials and commemorative events and has supported the creation of 59 memorials across 18 councils through extensive consultation with those communities impacted by the fires. The memorials include walls, sculptures, places of reflection, storyboards, lookout towers, roadside stops, shelters, signage, murals, plaques and seating, commemorative gardens and rotundas.

Agios Georgios Diasoritis
Agios Georgios Diasoritis in Naxos
The church of Agios Georgios Diasoritis in Naxos Greece, Cyclades: Quite close to the picturesque village of Halki, in the path that leads towards the Monoitsia settlement, visitors can find a small yet impressive church that is dedicated to Saint George.
Built in an idyllic mountainous region, in the valley of Tragaia, the church is estimated to have been constructed upon the remains of an ancient temple and dates back to the 11th century. The architectural style it exhibits is quite rare for the region of Naxos, as it is a Byzantine edifice that belongs to the cruciform genre with symmetric lines and a dome. The church is built upon four columns and features impressive stone arches, as well as includes tombs, most of which are empty and pre-existed its resurgence.
What is most striking regarding the temple is its interior, which is evidently the work of a skillful artist. The enchanting frescoes are well-preserved to this day and impress with their colors as well as elaborate style and illustrations. The most prominent ones portray Saint George, the archangel Michael and Saint John, while others depict major celebrations of Christianity.

Leicester 3-2 Aston Villa: Foxes complete stunning comeback to stay unbeaten
By Kyle BonnSep 13, 2015, 1:00 PM EDT
Aston Villa went 2-0 up with goals bookending halftime
Leicester struck twice in 10 minutes to pull level with 8 minutes to go
Nathan Dyer scored a debut goal in the 89th minute to win it
Leicester City found themselves down 2-0 just after the hour mark, but the Foxes simply wouldn't allow that to happen.
Instead, Claudio Raneiri's bunch completed a stunning comeback to win 3-2 to remain unbeaten on the season and move up to second in the Premier League table with 11 points.
Being a local derby, the game had a palpable atmosphere to it early on, and it reflected on the field with bright yet cautious attacking play and physical attitudes. Leicester had a pair of chances go just over the bar in the opening 10 minutes.
Things settled down a few minutes later, and the chances dried up, but the atmosphere in King Power Stadium did not. Despite a lack of cutting edge as the game progressed, the tension continued to build and came to a head six minutes before halftime. A frantic spell in front of the Leicester goal ended with the ball squirting out to Jack Grealish in acres of space above the box, and he delivered a curling effort that left Kasper Schmeichel with no chance to stop Aston Villa from taking the lead.
[ RELATED: Watch full match replays ]
Just moments after the halftime break, Jamie Vardy nearly pulled Leicester level with a stunning back-heel flick that went just wide of the post. The Foxes came out of the interval with real zest but didn't immediately profit from it, and that would be a problem later.
[ RELATED: Latest Premier League standings ]
Aston Villa scored their second, a beautiful swerving effort from Carles Gil who received the ball at the top of the box after lots of hard work by Gabriel Abgonlahor down the left flank.
The second goal forced the home side to bring on striker Leonardo Ulloa, sacrificing new signing Gokhan Inler who was less impactful than manager Claudio Raneiri would have hoped for his debut. Tim Sherwood responded by immediately pulling goalscorer Gil in favor of Jordan Ayew.
Leicester, though, weren't phased and continued to push. A corner in the 70th minute finally bore fruit as Ritchie De Laet redirected at the near post, and while the ball was cleared off the line by Ashley Westwood, goal-line technology correctly ruled the ball in over the line. The goal is De Laet's
The goal galvanized the hosts, and the Foxes pushed for another, which would come soon. Danny Drinkwater crossed into the box for Jamie Vardy, and the Leicester frontman beat a pair of Villa defenders to the ball to poke home an equalizer.
But Leicester wasn't finished. A third – the winner – would be delivered in thumping fashion by debutant Nathan Dyer, who came on at halftime. A ball over the top from the electric Riyad Mahrez came down in the center of the box, and Dyer became the second Fox attacker to perfectly split the Villa defenders. Dyer stuck out a leg and poked the ball home just before being pummeled by Guzan.
That was it for Villa, who had nothing left to offer. They were unable to capitalize on the chance to move into the top half of the table, and instead remain languished in the bottom quarter.

Operating under the motto "We are found in the best joints!" is Hoffman-Schwalbe, a German manufacturer of woodworking machines and a little doohickey called the Hoffman Dovetail Key. The company has cleverly exploited the humble dovetail joint by producing a small, bowtie-like piece in a variety of sizes, and in materials ranging from plastic to metal to wood to rubber.
They then created a line of machines, ranging from handheld to standalone, that are essentially half-dovetail cutters.
Armed with a bag of these Hoffman Dovetail Keys and one of their machines, customers can use the system to join pieces of wood to create everything from picture frames to furniture to structural beams.
Hoffman-Schwalbe makes machines as small and simple as the hand-operated Exess model, and as complicated as their MS 35 SF, a dual-bladed miter saw that cuts two pieces at once, then uses two automated routers to cut the dovetails simultaneously.
For those not grasping it right away, this system can enable an absolutely radical change in your production system. Consider that items joined with these HD Keys require no glue, no glue-up, no cleaning up the squeeze-out, no clamps, no drying time. Finished pieces can be stacked as soon as they're together with no worries about glue squeeze-out from one piece marring the one beneath it, obviating the need for racks.

El Real Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Valparaíso es un antiguo monasterio del municipio de Córdoba (España) que se encuentra enmarcado en Sierra Morena, cerca de Medina Azahara. Fundado en 1405 es considerada la primera obra del gótico cordobés, siendo monasterio hasta su exclaustración en 1835. El monasterio aprovechó los restos de la antigua ciudad de Medina Azahara para su construcción, que en el siglo XV era conocida como Córdoba la Vieja y se creía una ciudad romana. Según Ambrosio de Morales, el Cervatillo de Medina Azahara estuvo ubicado en el monasterio hasta la desamortización de Mendizábal en el siglo XIX, cuando pasó al Museo Provincial y actualmente en el Museo de Medina Azahara.

En 1980 fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural. Debido a su propiedad privada, el monasterio es únicamente visitable desde 2014 durante ocho días del año, en un grupos muy reducidos y con visitas guiadas organizadas por la asociación Amigos de Medina Azahara.

Historia

Orígenes del monasterio
El monasterio fue fundado a principios del siglo XV por el ermitaño portugués fray Vasco de Sousa, que estaba decidido a implantar la Orden de San Jerónimo en Castilla, donde todavía no albergaba representación. Vasco de Sousa envió a su discípulo fray Lorenzo con el objetivo de entrevistarse con el obispo de Córdoba, Fernando González Deza, quien reconoció no albergar tierras para la fundación del monasterio Jerónimo, aunque le proporcionó el contacto de Inés Martínez y su hijo Martín Fernández de Córdoba, alcaide de los Donceles y señor de Chillón. Los aristócratas aceptaron la donación, por lo que Vasco de Sousa se trasladó hasta Córdoba acompañado de cuatro religiosos más, donde firmaron el 10 de mayo de 1405 la cesión de una huerta que Inés Martínez albergaba en las cercanías de Córdoba la Vieja (Medina Azahara) ante el notario público apostólico Velasco Jiménez de Segovia con la única condición de cantar una capellanía de manera perpetua. Dicha donación fue ampliada por su hijo con otras huertas, además de la Dehesilla, más adelante conocida como dehesa de Córdoba la Vieja, montes reales, fontaneras, olivares, agua, los diezmos de todos esos terrenos, doce cahíces de pan terciado, veinticuatro fanegas de sal y las casas-hospedería.

Este paraje, conocido como Valparaíso, comenzó a ver la construcción del monasterio el 9 de julio de 1408 cuando se nombró a fray Vasco de Sousa como primer prior y a los cuatro religiosos que lo acompañaron, los frailes Rodrigo, Pedro, Juan y Gomes, como conventuales. La Diócesis de Córdoba, en la que quedaba incluido el monasterio, dio permiso para la edificación de iglesia mayor, claustro, campanario e incluso cementerio. Aunque fray Vasco realizó la construcción de una pequeña iglesia y claustro en los orígenes del monasterio, fue realmente fray Gómez, prior entre los años 1426-1449, quien edificó la cisterna, el refectorio, el dormitorio, las escaleras, la caballeriza, las celdas, la cocina vieja, la casería y la cerca vieja. El 12 de noviembre de 1440, el rey Juan II de Castilla recibió a todos los monjes y a sus sirvientes «bajo de su amparo y protección, y bajo de su guarda, su seguro y defendimiento real», por lo que el monasterio comenzó a utilizar la denominación de Real. Esta condición fue ratificada por su hija Isabel la Católica el 13 de diciembre de 1478, siendo cualquier agravio contra el monasterio delito de lesa majestad.

Grandes obras góticas
Durante el priorato de fray Alfonso de Baena (1451-1455) se construyó la enfermería y la nueva cocina, así como se colocó la primera piedra de la nueva iglesia. Más tarde, durante el liderazgo de fray Antón de Hinojosa (1463-1473) se avanzó en gran medida en la edificación de la nueva iglesia, donde intervienen los canteros Juan López, hijo de Lope de Ybarra, y Juan Safant, natural de Barcelona. El obispo Pedro de Solier proporcionó recursos económicos para la iglesia e incluso madera para los andamios; de hecho, los monjes se apenan de su fallecimiento en 1476, ya que «si no muriera tan presto, tenía voluntad de acabar toda la obra». Dos años más tarde, ya se tiene constancia del primer enterramiento en la iglesia: Sancha de Rojas, viuda del alcaide de los Donceles; mientras que el retablo aún estaba en construcción en 1488. El claustro, por otro lado, comenzó a construir en torno a 1470 y estuvo concluido para comienzos del siglo XVI.

A pesar de que en sus orígenes el monasterio perteneció jurídicamente a la Diócesis de Córdoba, el papa Inocencio VIII decretó en 1492 que los monjes quedaban «libres y exentos de la jurisdicción ordinaria de los señores obispos». Durante el siglo XVI se ornamentó el refectorio, se construyeron cuatro celdas, excusados, caballerizas, un horno y una galería de columnas. En 1524 ya se estaba trabajando en la sala capitular y las celdas sobre la misma; mientras que en la segunda mitad de siglo se realizaron nuevas celdas, un segundo claustro al occidente del antiguo, la torre de campanas, la nave destinada a sepulturas y panteón y la hospedería. A partir de este momento existe un vacío en las fuentes hasta las modificaciones barrocas del siglo XVIII, cuando se añade la cúpula barroca a la iglesia y se cubre con bóveda de lunetos el refectorio.

Desamortización
Aunque hubo varias exclaustraciones temporales durante la ocupación napoleónica (1810-1814) y el Trienio Liberal (1820-1823), siendo restablecidos los monjes gracias a las medidas del monarca Fernando VII, la expulsión definitiva se produjo el 30 de agosto de 1835, debido a la Desamortización de Mendizábal, cuando el monasterio contaba con catorce frailes. El monasterio comenzó un rápido declive y en apenas unas décadas lo describen en estado de ruina y abandono. Aunque el Ayuntamiento de Córdoba intentó adquirir su propiedad para instalar un hospital psiquiátrico sin éxito, el Ministerio de Hacienda lo vendió en 1871, tras tres subastas fallidas, a la marquesa viuda de Guadalcázar Josefa Núñez de Prado por 72.701 pesetas, aunque no se realizaron restauraciones y el monasterio continuó en estado de abandono. En 1912 adquieren la propiedad los marqueses del Mérito, quienes se hacen cargo del inmueble y restauran progresivamente el inmueble a lo largo de todo el siglo XX. El 21 de noviembre de 1980 es declarado Bien de Interés Cultural.

The Secret Barrister - Stories of The Law and How it's Broken (Book)
SKU B000898-1
Winner of the Books are My Bag Non-Fiction Award.
Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year.
Shortlisted for Specsavers Non-Fiction Book of the Year.
"I'm a barrister, a job which requires the skills of a social worker, relationship counsellor, arm-twister, hostage negotiator, named driver, bus fare-provider, accountant, suicide watchman, coffee-supplier, surrogate parent and, on one memorable occasion, whatever the official term is for someone tasked with breaking the news to a prisoner that his girlfriend has been diagnosed with gonorrhoea."
Welcome to the world of The Secret Barrister.
These are the stories of life inside the courtroom. They are sometimes funny, often moving and ultimately life-changing. How can you defend a child-abuser you suspect to be guilty? What do you say to someone sentenced to ten years who you believe to be innocent? What is the law and why do we need it? And why do they wear those stupid wigs?
From the criminals to the lawyers, the victims, witnesses and officers of the law, here is the best and worst of humanity, all struggling within a broken system which would never be off the front pages if the public knew what it was really like.
Both a searing first-hand account of the human cost of the criminal justice system, and a guide to how we got into this mess, The Secret Barrister wants to show you what it's really like and why it really matters.
The focus of the book is the criminal - rather than the civil - justice system and all those connected with it; from judges and magistrates to the court staff and the defendants themselves, not to mention the state of most of the court buildings; some growing old gracefully, others positively decrepit.

"Terrifying and occasionally hilarious . . . this is an eye-opening, if depressing, account of the practice of law today. Perhaps there is hope, but the author leaves us in no doubt that urgent reform is needed." - The Observer.
"This excellent book will hopefully raise awareness of what has been, until now, a silent crisis. It is at once a vicious polemic, a helpful primer and a cringe-inducing account of one barrister's travails." - Daily Telegraph.
"The unfolding calamity in our criminal justice system is best told in The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It's Broken. This angry yet forensic analysis from first arrest to prison is a gripping front-line view by an anonymous, lowly criminal barrister. Read and rage at evidence that "every day the provably guilty walk free", while the hapless needlessly end up in jail." - Polly Toynbee, The Guardian.
It's a secret.


Despite decades of effort and major investment dedicated to reducing bias in organizational settings, it persists.
The central challenge in removing bias from decisions is that most biases operate unconsciously. While raising awareness can help people to realize that they might be biased, it does not enable them to recognize bias in their own thinking–we simply do not have conscious access to the operations of bias in the brain.
In this paper, we propose an alternative solution to mitigating bias, derived from a brain-based perspective. We identify processes that can interrupt and redirect unconsciously biased thinking. We provide The SEEDS Model® for designing and guiding the use of such processes. The SEEDS Model® simplifies the roughly 150 identified cognitive biases and recognizes five categories of bias, each category responsive to a different set of actions that will help mitigate them.

Simon and the Desert - I've never even spotted that scene before - not that I've seen the film for a while... did I sleep through it..? did even see the right film..?
I've never seen any Bunuel soundtracks... but then I've never really looked.
That Bizarre film, is the rest of it as, er, good as that scene?
Belle De Jour - Michel Magne - I might not beat a hasty path to a store looking for one... is it any good..?
"Bunuel came to us. He was looking for a dive that would be right for the final scene and came to the Cafe Milleti where, by chance, we were playing. Don Luis asked us to play 'alarming' rock music. We asked if he wanted a vocal song or an instrumental and he answered instrumental, but really hard. He was looking for something sinister and very brutal. I offered him Radioactive Rebel and not only did he like it, but he also told me he wanted to name the film after this not particularly genteel or inspirational melody. The sad thing was that the producer Gustavo Alatriste said no way, because then they'd have had to pay a lot more for the rights"
Some very groovy dancing indeed, and some people that are just stomping about. Great song too, did this ever get a release and, if yes, why haven't I got one?
I liked this thread, thought I'd try and revive it as effectively as I revived Group Segs.
Some satanic mass music from Bruno Nicolai.
Have had a few technical problems but now sorted. A few new bits from me to add to the chart very soon.
In the meantime look forward to checking these.
Cool. Let's keep this one alive.
That Lee Marvin thing looks good - not seen that one.
Enjoying the underwater music even though I've never scuba dived in my life.
One of my favourite scenes from this rather odd film, Monica Vitti meets Tony Booth in Sheffield with his E-type jag.
The lovely Claudia Cardinale, in a night club, with Italian rock and roll combo trying out their best impersonation of the 3 Little Bops cartoon.


Spring/Summer 2011 Collection of Japanese fashion brand NOZOMI ISHIGURO on October 18, 2010, during the Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo.
Girl/boy or boy/girl look. Very creative. Wearing a complete outfit would certainly call attention to one, but something here or there to combine with other 'quiet' clothes would look good.
All these models I've seen are not cute. They're hideously skinny and either near anorexic or anorexic. Makes me sick, ironically. I never like fashion shows, I never see the pieces in the same way shown as the average person on the street wears the trend.
What was old is new again – I have worn alot of this ripped up post apocalyptic stuff back in the late '70's early '80's. Rock on!
I'm sure that its very likely that they aren't anorexic, give them a break…Just because they are probably naturally skinny doesn't make them horrible people.
And about the fact that its not wearable doesn't totally matter. A designer should be able to present their concept when they have their show, and it is up to the stores and people that buy the products to take it apart as they wish. But I do agree, these are all basically unwearable if they were in the streets just like this, I think even in Tokyo.
I like the color pallette and I think some of the pieces could be worn (as separates of course) like the halter top, some shirts and a few bottoms. I think half of the models looking "strange" is because of the bright blue lipstick. It looks cool and very arty but is extremely distracting at the same time which probably isn't the best choice if you want people to look at the clothes…Overall even though these clothes may not be practical it was still fun to see these photos and get some inspiration, thanks Kjeld!!!
@Sierra: Thank YOU, Sierra. I have some trouble with the blue lipstick, too. Otherwise I really liked the show.
@Lactose Intoler-Art: Totally agree with you on the models. I used to be quite skinny myself (65 kg at 186 cm / 143 lbs at 6.1 ft) and for years was unable to gain much weight no matter what I ate.
@Mel: As Lactose Intoler-Art and Sierra also mentioned, the idea of a fashion show is to display an artistic concept. This may inspire new directions in fashion and art, while parts or individual pieces can be worn as is.
But some of these pieces will surely also be seen at parties or club events. And quite a few don't look that outlandish anymore when you think away the make-up, hair, the setting and imagine them being worn by someone you know. For example, the black skirt. That would look good anywhere, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if I saw someone wearing it on the street even in my local town.
Continued from above: What I like about fashion shows is that designers allow you to look beyond what is accepted as normal, the so-called standard. It is like traveling abroad. You discover that values and ways of doing things that you considered a matter of course, or common sense, are not so all.
Everything in human society was arbitrarily decided by someone at some time, and nothing is set in stone.
To me watching a fashion show is like visiting a culture I am unfamiliar with. I learn new things and start to understand my own culture and myself better. The designer is my travel guide.
I disagree wholeheartedly with anyone who says these clothes are "unwearable". with conviction i had chosen about 7 pieces that i had taken a liking to and decided could serve my wardrobe justice. further more, i thought the reasoning of a fashion show was, for the viewer, attempting to break down the designers statement and to appreciate the individuality and detailing of each and every piece.
It's ridiculous when someone looks at runway and says that the clothes could never be worn on the streets.
It's true if you live in a small, under-cultured, fashion-challenged town, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a woman dressed head to toe in these outfits in Harajuku or Paris during Fashion Week.
Of course these pieces aren't practical; they aren't supposed to be. The designer isn't asking you to where their clothes while you're running for groceries or going to yoga or having coffee over at Starbucks. That would be an absolute unnecessary waste. Clothes like these should be worn at lavish parties, interesting club events, photoshoots and fashion shows.
There's a time and a place, and if you can't tell when something should be worn, you shouldn't bother voicing an opinion that has no spine.
Fashion wasn't just created for you, Mel.
@9891rjv: no offense to Mel but I agree these clothes are amazing and if I owned them I would wear them to the grocery store or out for coffee. I don't care what people think if I like it I will wear it somewhere. I would make up an excuse.
The problem with art and fashion is that it is highly opinionated. I agree with the people who say that some of these clothes worn separately would look amazing. A lot of it is actually kind of classical mixed with odd color/pattern style. I for one, really like the cross-body bags some of the models are carrying. This series of photos reminds me of a dreamy tie-dye cotton candy party (that might partly be due to the blue lipstick, though..you are all right it is distracting!). Anyway, great photos!
@code_name_kohaku: "The problem with art and fashion is that it is highly opinionated." True, that's what makes the discussion so incredibly interesting. You get to hear viewpoints that you may not have considered at all yourself. I really enjoyed the conversation on this page. Thanks to all who participated!
