Appellant Marchele (Richardson) Moore brings this appeal from the ruling of the Sebastian County Chancery Court finding her in contempt for violation of its child-visitation order. For reversal, Ms. Moore argues that the chancery court's order finding her in contempt was void for want of jurisdiction both under the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act of 1980 (PKPA) and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA), and because appellee Curtis Richardson voluntarily submitted himself to a Texas court's jurisdiction. We hold that the Arkansas court properly exercised continuing jurisdiction and affirm.
The Sebastian County Chancery Court entered a decree of divorce on February 2, 1993, granting Ms. Moore and Mr. Richardson an absolute divorce. The chancery court also awarded Ms. Moore custody of the parties' minor daughter, required Mr. Richardson to pay child support, and awarded him visitation rights.
Ms. Moore filed a petition for modification of this order on October 25, 1995, requesting that the court terminate visitation because Mr. Richardson was being investigated for allegedly abusing the child, and she also requested the court's permission to move to Seymour, Texas, with the child. Debra Brown, a licensed psychological examiner, testified that these allegations had been investigated by the Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) and local law enforcement, who decided that the allegations did not warrant further action.
By order dated March 26, 1996, the chancery court granted Ms. Moore permission to move after May 15, but denied her request to terminate visitation with the child's father. The court modified the visitation to require that all future visits be supervised and limited visitation to one weekend a month once Ms. Moore and the child moved to Texas. The court also held Mr. Richardson in contempt for nonpayment of child support.
Mr. Richardson filed a petition in July 1996, requesting that the court hold Ms. Moore in contempt for violating the March order when she cut off all visitation after the move to Texas. In her counterclaim, Ms. Moore contended that Mr. Richardson had failed to pay child support, asserted that the visitation was not properly supervised, and alleged that the child had told Texas DHS workers that she had been physically and emotionally abused after the Arkansas court had ordered that the visits be supervised. Ms. Moore attached copies of affidavits from Rachel Oquendo, a child sexual assault counselor at First Step in Texas. She also responded that an active DHS case was pending in this matter in Texas, and if she allowed visitation, action would be taken against her by the Texas DHS.
A hearing was held in Sebastian County on October 21, 1996, at which time the court heard testimony from both parents and conducted an in camera interview with the child. In its October 22 order, the court expressed its reluctance to modify the supervised visitation ordered the previous March, where the court had concluded that the child was not in danger. The court then found that the allegations of child abuse in both Arkansas and Texas had not been substantiated, and decided that it would not cut off the child's natural father's visitation rights on the basis of the evidence and testimony presented. However, the chancery court stressed that visitation be supervised at all times by Mr. Richardson's mother, Martha O'Neal, or by Mr. O'Neal, her husband.
On November 25, 1996, a Texas court issued an ex parte protective order finding that Ms. Moore was in "clear and present danger of family violence" and ordering Mr. Richardson to appear at a hearing in Seymour, Texas, on December 17, 1996, to show cause why this order should not become permanent. The emergency order was effective for twenty days. Mr. Richardson made a general appearance on December 17, and provided the Texas court with a certified copy of the Arkansas court's October order.
On January 3, 1997, Mr. Richardson filed a motion for contempt in Sebastian County, asserting that he was being denied visitation and that Ms. Moore was seeking to have the State of Texas assume jurisdiction to modify visitation. Mr. Richardson's attorney called the court's attention to a hearing scheduled by the Texas court for February 3, 1997, to consider whether to terminate Mr. Richardson's parental rights.
Chancellor Harry Foltz, who had been exercising continuing jurisdiction in the Arkansas court, sent Judge David Hajek of the 50th judicial district in Seymour, Texas, a letter dated January 17, 1997, attempting to resolve an apparent jurisdictional conflict. In the letter, Chancellor Foltz stated his belief that the Arkansas court retained jurisdiction in the case under 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(d) (1994), because the father continued to reside in Arkansas and the original custody determination was made in compliance with the provisions of the PKPA and the UCCJA. He informed the Texas court that he had a pending motion for contempt before him, set for hearing on March 13, and requested a response from Judge Hajek.
Ms. Moore filed a motion to dismiss the contempt proceeding on March 4, 1997, alleging that the chancery court (1) did not have personal jurisdiction over the parties, (2) did not have subject-matter jurisdiction over the issue, and (3) could not act because another action was pending between the same parties arising out of the same transaction or occurrence. In her brief in support of her motion to dismiss, Ms. Moore alleged that the Texas court now has jurisdiction over this proceeding. Ms. Moore attached a copy of the protective order that the Texas court entered on February 11, 1997, stating that both parties made a personal appearance on December 17, 1996, and finding that the Texas court properly had jurisdiction over the matter. The Texas court found that Mr. Richardson had committed family violence since the last Arkansas court order, and that it was in the child's best interest to prohibit Mr. Richardson from contacting or approaching the child and Ms. Moore, except within the parameters approved by the court. The Texas court separately modified visitation, ordering that it occur only under the supervision of Diana Lochridge, a licensed professional counselor in Texas.
After the March 13 hearing, the Arkansas court entered an order setting forth its findings. In its March 17 order, the court denied Ms. Moore's motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, stating that it had had jurisdiction over this case and these parties since it entered the initial divorce complaint in 1993, and had exercised this jurisdiction as recently as October 22, 1996, when Ms. Moore, as well as Mr. Richardson, had requested and received relief from the Arkansas court. In the order, the Arkansas court claimed to have jurisdiction under the PKPA, 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(d). The court also stated that it had attempted to comply with the provisions of the UCCJA requiring that two courts involved in simultaneous proceedings communicate with one another, but that the Texas court did not respond. See Ark. Code Ann. § 9-13-206 (Repl. 1993). The court found Ms. Moore in contempt for violation of its visitation orders and for failing to appear in violation of its January 3 order to show cause. The court ordered the sheriff to incarcerate Ms. Moore until a hearing could be held to determine if she should be released, or until she posted a $2,500 bond to insure her presence at the next hearing. From this order, Ms. Moore brings this appeal.
Ms. Moore argues that the Arkansas court erred in ruling that it had continuing jurisdiction because Mr. Richardson, through his general appearances before the Texas court on December 17 and February 7, "submitted himself and fully engaged in the litigation process." She states that, by his appearance, he acquiesced and waived his right to object to the Texas court's assumption of jurisdiction.
Ms. Moore also contends that the Texas court properly had jurisdiction under the PKPA, even though Arkansas had original jurisdiction under the UCCJA. She alleges that the Texas court correctly exercised jurisdiction for two reasons, citing 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(c): (1) because Texas is now the "home state" of the child and is therefore given jurisdictional preference under the PKPA, and (2) because it was necessary to protect the child from continued mistreatment or abuse under the "emergency jurisdiction" provision of the PKPA.
Ms. Moore attempts to analyze jurisdiction in terms of whether Mr. Richardson's appearance before the Texas court waived his right to object to jurisdiction, mischaracterizing the issue as one of personal jurisdiction, rather than an issue of subject-matter jurisdiction, which is a defense that cannot either be waived by the parties at any time or conferred by the parties' consent. See Ark. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3). Under the PKPA and UCCJA, child-custody jurisdiction is a matter of subject-matter jurisdiction. 1 Jeff Atkinson, Modern Child Custody Practice § 3.31, at 175 (1986). Therefore, the fact that Mr. Richardson may have entered a general appearance before the Texas court does not waive his right to contest the Texas court's subject-matter jurisdiction. See, e.g., McBride v. McBride, 688 So.2d 856 (Ala. Ct. Civ. App. 1997) (stating that the UCCJA provisions relate to subject-matter jurisdiction, which cannot be vested by the parties even if all parties consent and request an adjudication on the merits).
The appropriate authorities of every State shall enforce according to its terms, and shall not modify except as provided in subsection (f) of this section, any child custody determination made consistently with the provisions of this section by a court of another State.
Under these terms of the PKPA, the Texas court should not have taken jurisdiction to modify the custody or visitation order of the Arkansas court unless it met the following two conditions under subsection (f): (1) Texas must have jurisdiction under one of the criteria of 1738A(c), and (2) the Arkansas court that issued the initial custody order must have either declined jurisdiction or no longer had jurisdiction. In this case, Texas did specifically determine that it had jurisdiction under subsection (c)(2)(A) as the home state of the child; however, under the second prong of subsection (f), Texas was not permitted to exercise jurisdiction unless the Sebastian County Chancery Court had declined to exercise jurisdiction, or no longer had jurisdiction.
Because the Arkansas court had clearly not declined to exercise jurisdiction, we consider only whether the court no longer had jurisdiction. Ms. Moore claims that the Arkansas court erroneously attempted to retain jurisdiction under subsection (c)(2)(A) of the PKPA. On the contrary, Chancellor Foltz stated in his March 17, 1997, order that the chancery court retained continuing jurisdiction in the case under 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(d) because the father continued to reside in Arkansas and the original custody determination was made in compliance with the provision of the PKPA and the UCCJA. The chancery court was correct.
Subsection (d) of the PKPA holds great importance in child-custody determinations because in it Congress expressly declared that the "jurisdiction of a court of a State which has made a child custody determination consistently with the provisions of this section continues as long as the requirement of subsection (c)(1) of this section continues to be met and such State remains the residence of the child or of any contestant." Subsection (c)(1) provides that a "child custody determination made by a court of a State is consistent with the provisions of this section only if -- such court has jurisdiction under the law of such State."
(1) This state (i) is the home state of the child at the time of commencement of the proceeding, . . . .
Ark. Code Ann. § 9-13-203(a)(1). At the time of the divorce decree, the child had lived in Arkansas all of her life. Although Ms. Moore later removed herself and the child, Mr. Richardson continues to reside in Sebastian County and that county's chancery court has continued to exercise its jurisdiction and has modified its original order on several occasions, at both parties' requests. We conclude that the requirements of subsection (c)(1), and therefore of subsection (d), of the PKPA have been met.
Because we have determined that the Arkansas court had neither declined nor lacked jurisdiction to modify its initial visitation decree, we conclude that the Texas court does not have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(f).
We note that at the hearing before the Sebastian County Chancery Court on March 13, Ms. Moore's counsel alleged that perhaps the Texas court was exercising concurrent jurisdiction. The PKPA expressly provides that a court cannot exercise jurisdiction in a proceeding if a court in another state is exercising jurisdiction consistent with the provisions of the PKPA. 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(g). The purpose of this provision is to avoid "the havoc wreaked by simultaneous and competitive jurisdiction." Murphy v. Danforth, 323 Ark. 482, 490, 915 S.W.2d 697, 702 (1996); see also Atkins v. Atkins, 308 Ark. 1, 823 S.W.2d 816 (1992). However, one state may assume jurisdiction and become an alternate forum where the initial state declines to exercise its jurisdiction. See Snisky v. Whisenhunt, 44 Ark. App. 13, 864 S.W.2d 875 (1993).
(4) jurisdiction when no other jurisdictional basis is available.
Murphy v. Danforth, 323 Ark. at 490, 915 S.W.2d at 701 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(c); Atkinson, Modern Child Custody Practice § 3.24, at 165). Even if the Texas court is now the home state of the child, the Arkansas court properly exercised continuing jurisdiction because that basis has priority over home-state jurisdiction under the PKPA.
Ms. Moore also claims that the Texas court assumed emergency jurisdiction to protect the minor child from continued abuse or mistreatment, based on the child's allegations.
The PKPA provides for emergency jurisdiction as a means for a state that does not possess exclusive continuing jurisdiction to enter a temporary order until the state with continuing jurisdiction is able to determine the issues. Roger M. Baron, Federal Preemption in the Resolution of Child Custody Jurisdiction Disputes, 45 Ark. L. Rev. 885, 910 (1993). The PKPA and UCCJA both contain almost identical provisions that allow a court to exercise emergency jurisdiction when the child is physically present and a genuine emergency, such as abandonment or abuse, exists. Murphy v. Danforth, 323 Ark. at 491, 915 S.W.2d at 702 (citing 28 U.S.C. § 1738A(c)(2)(C); Ark. Code Ann. § 9-13-203(a)(3)). Jurisdiction based on an emergency under our version of the UCCJA may only be used in extreme or extraordinary situations where the immediate health and welfare of the child is at stake. Caskey v. Pickett, 274 Ark. 383, 386, 625 S.W.2d 473, 475 (1981).
We have stated that emergency powers are limited and should not be used to permanently modify a custody order. Murphy v. Danforth, 323 Ark. at 491, 915 S.W.2d at 702. Rather, they should only be used to give a party custody for as long as it takes to travel with the child to the proper forum to seek a permanent modification. Id. "Emergency jurisdiction may be exercised independently of the order of preferences, but relief under emergency jurisdiction would normally be only temporary and the parties would be directed to return to a court with the most preferred jurisdictional basis." Atkinson, Modern Child Custody Practice § 3.01, at 109.
In Murphy, we quoted passages from Professor Atkinson's treatise in which he suggests that a state exercising emergency jurisdiction might act to permanently modify an order where the evidence of neglect or abuse is available in that state, but difficult or impossible to obtain in the child's home state. Murphy v. Danforth, 323 Ark. at 491, 915 S.W.2d at 702 (quoting Atkinson, Modern Child Custody Practice § 3.18, at 148, n. 170). However, Professor Atkinson advises that this problem may be avoided by taking testimony and transmitting the evidence to the other state. Id.
In this case, the Arkansas court had affidavits before it from Texas counselors and social workers, as well as Arkansas psychological evaluations, on which it relied in its order requiring that the child's visits with her father be supervised at all times. The Arkansas court had the benefit of evaluations and reports made both in Texas and in Arkansas; therefore, a permanent modification by the Texas court was not appropriate if Texas was exercising authority under the emergency-jurisdiction provisions of the PKPA.
Ms. Moore argues that an emergency existed that required her to turn to the Texas court for relief, and the Texas court specifically stated in its order that an emergency existed because of the family abuse. However, under the PKPA and our case law, if a true emergency did exist, the Texas court possessed only the limited jurisdiction to give relief for the period of time that it took Ms. Moore to go to the appropriate forum to seek permanent modification of the custody order. While its protective order issued on November 17, 1996, may have been a proper exercise of emergency jurisdiction, its order dated February 11, 1997, clearly attempted to modify visitation in excess of those limited terms. It appears that at all times, the child remained in Ms. Moore's custody and was apparently safe. Under these circumstances, she should have sought relief from the Arkansas court, from which she had sought relief several times before, as the court with preferred jurisdiction to permanently modify visitation.
In summary, the Arkansas court, which entered the initial custody and visitation order, retained continuing jurisdiction over the subject-matter and parties in this case under the PKPA and our state's UCCJA. Because the Arkansas chancery court had continuing jurisdiction that it had not declined to exercise, the Texas court was without jurisdiction to permanently modify the Arkansas court's order. Even if the facts had shown that there was a need to exercise emergency jurisdiction, the Texas court's order went beyond the scope of emergency jurisdiction under the PKPA.

$5.4 TRILLION ASSET MANAGER: Investors aren't taking enough risk in the stock market
Investors are taking on too little risk in the stock market as they overthink why it remains calmer than normal, according to BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with $5.4 trillion in assets under management as of March 31, 2017.
This caution is being reflected in measure of investor fear, such as the CBOE's Volatility Index for the S&P 500, which sits below its historical averages, suggesting to some that the market is too complacent. The VIX on Wednesday was near 10.35, lower than its long-term average of 18.82.
Additionally, most traditional measures of valuation are at or above their historical averages, including the Shiller price-to-earnings ratio, implying, at the very least, investors could expect lower returns going forward.
But on these two counts, there's less cause for concern than some of the critics of this rally, which seems to be dodging everything thrown at it.
Volatility is likely to stay low for some time, said Richard Turnill, the global chief investment strategist for BlackRock, at a media briefing on Tuesday. Investors became more cautious about investing in risk assets since the financial crisis, Turnill said, and this was worsened by the period of low volatility.
"One of the consequences of that is potentially many investors are still not taking enough risk, and particularly enough equity risk in their portfolios, in order to meet their long-term financial gains."
The market's calm is not unusual, Turnill said, and historically persisted for a long time until it was interrupted by a brief crises.
Importantly, today's low volatility environment is associated with a stable economy as is normally the case, Turnill said.
Two things could change that: an economic recession, which he considered a low risk, and a significant build up in financial risk, which doesn't look systemic enough to cause widespread damage.
"Many investors, we think, are overly concerned about a change in the volatility regime," Turnill said. If volatility increases, the losses could not only hit stocks that have driven the rally, but wagers on volatility to remain low.
"We'd view any short-term rises of volatility, as we've seen many of over the last couple of years, as opportunities to buy the dips," Turnill said. "We don't today see the characteristics or the pieces in place which would drive us out of this regime into a higher volatility regime."
"The timing to the next recession globally could potentially be measured in years rather than quarters."

NEW YORK — Johnny Damon hit a tiebreaking homer and Andy Pettitte won his sixth straight start, halting another Yankees slide in New York's 5-3 victory over the Red Sox.
NEW YORK — Johnny Damon hit a tiebreaking homer against his former team and Andy Pettitte won his sixth straight start, halting another Yankees slide in New York's 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox last night.
Derek Jeter also homered and Jorge Posada hit an RBI double for the Yankees, who took the opener of a three-game series in the first meeting between the rivals since June 3.
Boston came to town with an eight-game lead over New York in the AL East and a chance to open a nearly insurmountable cushion. But the Yankees beat Daisuke Matsuzaka for the first time and rebounded from a 2-5 trip that ended Monday night with a 16-0 loss at Detroit.
Pettitte (12-7) played stopper once again. He allowed three runs and six hits in seven innings, improving to 8-1 in 10 starts since the All-Star break. His last three wins have followed New York defeats, making him 69-33 in such situations with the Yankees.
Manny Ramirez and Jason Varitek homered for the Red Sox, who had won four straight — all blowouts at the Chicago White Sox.
After making an error in the sixth, Ramirez was lifted in the bottom of the seventh because of muscle spasms in his lower back. He was replaced by Bobby Kielty, who was removed in the eighth due to a sore lower back.
Pettitte improved to 6-0 this month, making him 45-16 in August during his career. He also upped his record against Boston to 15-6.
Joba Chamberlain worked a scoreless eighth with two strikeouts and hit 100 mph on the radar gun. With two on, the rookie sensation struck out J.D. Drew on a nasty slider to end the inning and let out a fired-up scream as he pumped his fist.
Mariano Rivera struck out two in the ninth for his 21st save — his first 1-2-3 outing in eight innings since Aug. 10.
Matsuzaka (13-11) lost his third consecutive start, allowing five runs and six hits in 6¤ innings. The famous rookie from Japan won both of his previous starts against New York this year despite a 6.92 ERA.
With the score tied at 3, Andy Phillips singled leading off the seventh and moved up on Melky Cabrera's sacrifice. Damon lofted Matsuzaka's next pitch into the right-field corner, just beyond the short porch and barely fair.
Damon popped out of the dugout for a curtain call to the delight of a sellout crowd of 55,037 that included Tiger Woods. Damon is batting .350 since July 21.
Varitek's leadoff shot in the top of the seventh tied it at 3. He hit a high fly into the left-field stands, just beyond a leaping Damon.
Matsuzaka retired 12 of 13 batters before Jeter's solo home run in the fifth gave New York a 3-2 lead. Jeter had gone 87 at-bats without a homer since connecting Aug. 1 against the White Sox.
Ramirez hit a leadoff shot in the second, making him the 12th player in major league history to hit at least 20 homers in 13 straight seasons. He has 52 home runs against the Yankees, tied with Red Sox Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski for fourth-most by a New York opponent.


Medical information is widely available on the Internet, but sorting through that information can be tricky for most parents. When minor emergencies occur, most parents turn to the Internet for answers. However, given the glut of information on the web, most parents simply become overwhelmed. Pediatric urgent care in particular, provides a unique opportunity for families when these minor emergencies arise.
These websites maybe well-written and well-intended; however, the prudent course of action when your child has a minor emergency is to locate a pediatric urgent care in your community.

"I think the tree is an element of regeneration which in itself is a concept of time" - Artist, sculptor, art theorist and pedagogue of art, Joseph Beuys (1921 – 1986).
One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, the German Beuy's extensive work was grounded in concepts of social philosophy, humanism and anthroposophy – the latter (literally from the Greek for "Human" and "Wisdom") a philosophy founded by educator, the Austrian Rudolph Steiner, who postulated the existence of an objective and intellectually comprehensible spiritual world which aimed to develop faculties of intuition and perceptive imagination through cultivating a manner of independent thinking not necessarily related to sensory experience. In short, anthroposophy claims a spiritual world accessible to direct experience through inner development. In his Philosophy of Freedom (published 1894), Steiner developed a concept of free will based upon inner experiences – those occurring in the creative activity of independent thought.
Part One of the Philosophy of Freedom examined the conditions for freedom of thought, and the second, the conditions for freedom of action, seeking to demonstrate that inner freedom is achieved when we bridge the gap between our perception (outer appearance of the world) and our cognition (which accesses the inner structure of the world). Outer freedom thus arises when we find the links between ideals and the constraints of external reality, our deeds inspired by "moral imagination".
Later, Beuys' famous statement - "teaching is my greatest work of art" - was followed by: "the rest is the waste product, a demonstration. If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible". He continued, "Objects aren't very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it". More specifically, Joseph Beuys' now famous performance art piece, "How to explain pictures to a dead hare," dealt with "the difficulty of explaining things". The artist spent three hours explaining his art to a dead hare with his head covered with honey and gold leaf. Contemporary art on many levels may be considered laboratories for a new pedagogy with research and experiment often replacing form. As a 21st century protagonist of freedom of thought, a contemporary shaman, Arik Levy exemplifies regeneration as an expression of time with his current work, linking old philosophies with new, creating form as a by-product of thought. Arik Levy's tree attempts to find the origin of matter, in its mathematical precision – emblematic of a balance of cognitive and perceptive expression. The 21st century perception of anthroposophy and its broader, some less palatable, not mentioned here, earlier teachings may be that its roots were watered by dogmatism but have been tempered by time, and the branches, the offspring, have found their own parlance with Levy's tree as its conduit.
Biography: Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, curator for three years of the London Design Festival pan-London, author, design and architecture editor, has written for numerous publications including Wallpaper* magazine, Architectural Digest, the New York Times magazine and the Telegraph magazine, is also an award-winning furniture designer.
Commissioning art. For several years, the relationship between art and enterprise has been developed and specialised in different formats: foundations, collections, patronage, philanthropy, partnerships, and special orders. Today, art finds itself at the heart of the strategy of a growing number of companies and, together with effective management, makes it possible to combine the tangible and the subjective, the real and the imaginary, numbers and emotions, performance and pleasure.
Obviously, the intelligent company listens to the world, anticipates its changes and seizes the market opportunities offered by these transformations. Throughout history, this one has not ceased to study the relationships between society, economy and sciences. Clairvoyant, the company of the early 21st century now integrates environmental concerns, people's consciousness and culture. Specifically, some of them, concerned with their positioning, have perceived in art a communication medium through which they can reach for the new horizons born out of the incredible development of the cultural sector shaping the world of today. In response to these trends, some firms are trying to better understand the relationships between art and society. For these companies, it is a question of diversifying their production, and building or maintaining their image of excellence by fomenting new alliances between entrepreneurial dynamism and the person of the artist. Some have been active in offering, in addition to their usual production, exceptional products that are far removed from large series runs. The objective is to create awareness of their expertise by associating their usual activity with the creation of unique artistic objects, often mixing the conventional categories of work of art, unique object and mass production. The goal of the company is to satisfy a new clientele of enthusiasts looking for exclusivity.
As a consequence of these alliances, some 21st century artists are engaged in developing innovative work, in small series - even single pieces -, a trend which had no equivalent in the history of art of the 19th and 20th centuries.
This association is not a new idea in history, but it occupies a very particular place in a dramatically transformed 21st century, in which the globalisation of the art market, the geographical relocation of the centres of artistic influence, the opening of new economies – along with the discovery of their cultures and the resulting fusions –, have all been integrated at a speed never before experienced till now.
After the experimentations of the 1920s and 1930s, the modern aesthetic consolidated during the 1950s. This new assurance has given artists confidence, and made it possible to build bridges between art, architecture, photography, design and business. Today, the boundaries between these different disciplines have indeed diminished, even if art experts continue to wax lyrical about the status of a work of art, posing the unique against the series, the non-functional against the functional.
Thus the industry, the artist and the collector all benefit from a new mirrored dialogue: the art serving the company, and the company serving the art, for the greater pleasure of the collector.
The impulse of the entrepreneur is driven by the desire to associate his brand with a creative genius in order to bolster its expertise and values and thus to give its legend life. This "artistic ambassador" is chosen by the company, which confers upon him the subtle role of translating in symbolic form its past history, its understanding of the present and its inclusion in the future. This is about much more than a meeting. It is an alliance and a union of two visionary spirits: on the one hand the entrepreneur who is open to the world, and on the other the artist who reveals to him, through his own subjectivity and formal universe, his own feelings about the world.
Within the company's life, the artist's work is a breath of fresh air, a revelation.
Of course, the alliance between Hennessy and Arik Levy is not taking us into new territory: they have already collaborated these five years! Hennessy has recognised in the talent of the artist the best spokesperson to deliver its own art. And the commitment of the prestigious cognac producer to commission from Arik Levy a work of art as showcase for the Jeroboam 2012 is a real landmark decision, not only in the history of Hennessy, but also in the personal journey of the artist, and more globally as a defining example of the relationship between art and enterprise in the dawning 21st century.

RockGrowth represents the evolution of my project "Absent Nature": an investigation of the genetic intimacy, biomimicry and patterns of nature alongside the social codes and rational understanding of our environment.
It all exists in relation to my own self and through my personal perception of a man-made nature and the concurrent projection of a potential existing, but yet unknown, nature from some other civilizations.
cess, this whole idea instigates an urge to create my own world of possibilities and projections.
The constant growth and evolution of these pieces gives the impression that the stretching branches are in an ongoing development, and each side of them tells a different visual story… infinite.


THE FLATS – Each week up until the beginning of basketball season, Ramblinwreck.com takes a look at an opponent on Georgia Tech's non-conference schedule. This week, we look at Vanderbilt, a frequent opponent for the Jackets over the last decade.
In Kevin Stallings' 15-year tenure at Vanderbilt, the Commodores have reached the NCAA tournament six times, including three straight from 2010-2012. However, since that three-year stretch, the Commodores have had back to back losing seasons and are just 15-21 in the SEC in that time. To turn the tide in 2014-15, Vanderbilt will look to sophomore big man Damian Jones. Jones led the team in rebounding as a true freshman and ranked second in scoring behind graduated senior Rod Odom. On top of his numbers Jones offers a unique blend of size and athleticism at the post position and has been working on his jump shot this offseason. Although Jones is clearly a dangerous asset in the frontcourt, the Commodores will need to mature rapidly in the backcourt. Entering the 2014-15 season, Stallings returns no scholarship guards. Instead he will need to turn to a four-man influx of true freshman to run the offense.
Last year Vanderbilt entered early February tied for fourth place in the SEC and firmly in the discussion for an NCAA Tournament bid. The discussion didn't last very long. The Commodores concluded the 2013-14 season losing five straight and eight of their last ten including their first one-and-done SEC tournament performance since 2009. The 2013-14 Commodores' season-defining weakness was their shooting. Kevin Stallings' squad ranked in the bottom four teams of the SEC in field goal shooting, three-point shooting and free throw shooting. Those poor marks translated into an SEC-worst 64.6 points per game. Of the bright spots in 2013-14, Vanderbilt's defense ranked in the top five in both points allowed and field goal percentage allowed, but ultimately the poor shooting proved insurmountable.
2012 SEC Championship and third straight NCAA Tournament Appearance – Vanderbilt basketball began in 1893, joined the SEC as a charter member in 1932 and has appeared in the NCAA Tournament 13 times. However up until 2010, Vanderbilt had only twice made it to the NCAA Tournament in consecutive seasons and never in three straight years. But in the 2011-12 season the Commodores made history with an unprecedented third straight appearance. Unlike their first two trips, the Commodores arrived in the field of 64 with a touch of flare by stunning the top-ranked and eventual national champion Kentucky Wildcats in the SEC Championship game. The 71-64 win gave the Commodores just their third SEC Championship in program history and their first in 60 years. Vanderbilt followed their improbable conference championship performance with their first NCAA tournament win since 2007 over Harvard before bowing out in the round of 32 to Wisconsin.
Clyde Lee (1964-1966) – Clyde Lee, a Nashville native, is widely considered the best basketball player in the history of the Vanderbilt program. Lee graduated as the school's all-time leading scorer (1,691) and rebounder (1,233) despite playing just three seasons. Today, Lee still ranks as Vandy's top rebounder and his career 15.5 points per game still stands as the top scoring average in Commodore basketball history. Over the course of his three-year career the Commodores won 65 games, captured the 1965 SEC regular-season crown and qualified for the only NCAA Elite Eight appearance in program history. Following a UPI All-American junior season, Lee opted to declare for the draft and was selected third overall by the San Francisco Warriors. In the NBA, Lee carved out a ten year career with San Francisco, Atlanta and Philadelphia and scored over 5,000 points.

Surviving time in the thought of today's Maya
P. Binkova
A long-term study of the material preserved concerning the structure, character and modes of organization of the Maya shows that for them the concept of time represents one of the main bases for the perception of the world and universe as well as for grasping the existence of individual as such. The intensity with which this ancient civilization focussed on the concept of time is given by the fact...

The article is devoted to the legal and political philosophy of J. Habermas. In a number of steps which link up with each other, the author attempts to demonstrate that there is an internal dependence between Habermas' conception of 'domestic' (J. Rawls) and 'global' justice. Habermas' reconstruction of the circular methods of settng up facticity and validity of law can be understood as a basis on...

The article examines a) Rádl's concept of the responsibility of the intellectual for their society and b) his historical thought. The philosophical activism of this Czech biologist and philosopher (1873-1942), which certainly has something to do with influences from the 'philosophy of life', is put into relation with the traditional role of the writer as the nation's conscience, with the strong impression...
K Meinongově etické koncepci
V. Hala
The author focuses on the interpretation of the basic questions in A. Meinong's conception of ethics. He sets out from Meinong's theory of objects, in which he sees the foundation of the conception, especially in so far as is concerned the application of its basic categories - objects, objectives, dignitatives and desideratives - to the axiological and ethical fields. The author emphasises that it...
Locke o revoluci
Jiří Chotaš
The author argues that Locke's theory of revolution in his Two Treatises of Government and in the first Letter on Toleration is written in support of the people's struggle against their rulers for civil and religious liberty. To this end he gives an interpretation of Locke's argument, which can be broken down into two distinct claims. Firstly, that the power of rulers (and of government) may be understood...
Jak se stal Locke málem deistou?
Miloš Dokulil
Filosofický časopis (Philosophical Journal) > 2005 > 53 > 1 > 99-123
1. The outer frame of our question Questions have been inherited, together with various responses to them. But, in the ripeness of time, both the standpoints and prerequisites for their solution have changed. The "Moderns" of the 17th century cannot have suspected much how, and in what way, their age was "new". Between the tercentenaries of Locke's birth and death the prerequisites for a solution...
Primární kvality, sekundární kvality a princip impulsu
James Hill
In this article the author puts forward an interpretation of Locke's famous chapter on primary and secondary qualities, chapter 8 of Book II of The Essay concerning Human Understanding. It is argued that the key to the distinction is the thought that the causal processes of perception must conform to what the author calls Locke's impulse principle. This principle, found at E.II.viii.11, as well as...
Lockovy nominální esence: ideje nebo kvality?
Jan Palkoska
In this article I discuss the issue of the reference of Locke's term nominal essence as employed in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding with regard to the domain of Lockean natural reality. I show it is hard to reconcile the textual evidence with any easy solution in terms of the strict identification of Lockean nominal essences either with abstract ideas alone or with the qualities of things...
Lockův skromný návrh nauky o znacích
Petr Glombíček
The article concerns Locke's philosophy of language. After presenting Locke's theory of meaning and his motivation for introducing it, the author summarises Locke's taxonomy of signs and thereby shows that Locke is introducing a concept of the conventional sign as a symptom of belief (not as an icon for a thing or a state of things). On this basis, and on the basis of Locke's division of the sciences,...
Locke, Platón a platonismus
Filosofický časopis (Philosophical Journal) > 2005 > 53 > 1 > 7-21
It is often taken for granted that Locke 's epistemology is about as far away from Plato as it could be. The denial of innate ideas in the first book of the Essay Concerning Human Understanding seems to mark an unbridgeable gulf between them.Yet, a closer look at the actual content of Locke's book suggests much more agreement than is usually supposed. Although Plato was not much to the fore in Oxford...
Kognitivní psychologie a Lockův podíl na utváření novověké filosofie
Josef Moural
There are four major views of the formation of modern philosophy: the crucial role has been, subsequently, ascribed to Bacon, to Descartes, to Locke, and to the reception of Hellenistic philosophy (culminating in the late 16th and early 17th century). Now historical periodization is normally neither true nor false, it can be just more or less fruitful and/or misleading. Thus, it is not our task to...
Teologické zdůvodnění Cantorovy teorie množin
Kateřina Trlifajová
Discussions surrounding the nature of the infinite in mathematics have been under way for two millennia. Mathematicians, philosophers, and theologians have all taken part. The basic question has been whether the infinite exists only in potential or whether it exists in actuality. Only at the end of the 19th century a set theory was created that works with the actual infinite. Initially this theory...
Sortální termíny a problém identity
Daniel Heider
The article deals with sortal terms and the problem of identity and argues that they both are one of the most important sources for Aristotelianism in the contemporary analytical metaphysics. The criteria and the use of sortal terms show that they should be sharply distinguished from other types of terms (attributive terms, mass terms, dummy sortals). The semantical and syntactical classification...
Je "logická analýza přirozeného jazyka" možná?
Pavel Materna
Whereas attaching meaning to "semi-expressions" is a contingent, empirical pheno¬menon, the expressions as pairs possess the meaning a priori, necessarily. Therefore logical analysis of natural language can be realized, since its subject matter is finding logical relations between meanings of particular expressions.
Kuhn versus Popper
Zuzana Parusniková
The paper discusses the main themes of the Kuhn Popper controversy. Popper defends the possibility of a rational reconstruction of science, objective truth and normative methodology. Kuhn emphasizes the historical and sociological aspects of the development of science, the relativity of truth, and the incommensurability of paradigms. The author confronts these two opposing conceptions of the philosophy...
Descartes a principy vědeckého poznání
Daniel Špelda
This article attempts to explain Descartes' understanding of the possibilities, objectives, and functions of scientific knowledge in the Principia philosophiae. In the standard interpretation the scientific system in the Principia is constructed deductively, but a deeper examination shows that Descartes' understanding very much resembles the voluntarism of late medieval nominalist theology. He emphasises...
Klaus Michael Meyer-Abich: Filosofie rozšířeného komunitarismu
Vlastimil Hála
The central thought of K. M. Meyer-Abich is his conception of nature as a community not only of all living beings, but also of the "elements" constituting nature, and of "artefacts". Instead of the environment ("Umwelt") the author thus speaks of "the world as a community ("Mitwelt")". Meyer-Abich characterises his conception not as (merely) biocentric but rather as "physiocentric". He uses the title...
K problému evoluční gnoseologie
Evolutionary epistemology differs from classical epistemology in that human conceptual knowledge is understood not only as the acquisition of socio-cultural information, but also as the ontic procedure of culture. The thesis is advanced that knowledge is the necessary condition of the existence of all open non-linear systems with internal information, and that therefore all living and cultural systems...

Een application programming interface, afgekort tot API, is een verzameling definities op basis waarvan een computerprogramma kan communiceren met een ander programma of onderdeel, meestal in de vorm van bibliotheken. API's zijn vaak de scheiding tussen verschillende lagen van abstractie, zodat applicaties op een hoog niveau van abstractie kunnen werken en het minder abstracte werk uitbesteden aan andere programma's. Hierdoor hoeft bijvoorbeeld een tekenprogramma niet te weten hoe het de printer moet aansturen, maar roept het daarvoor een gespecialiseerd stuk software aan in een bibliotheek, via een afdruk-API.

Het verschil met een stuurprogramma is dat deze niet bedoeld is om direct gebruikt te worden door applicaties, maar enkel door de kernel van een besturingssysteem. Een besturingssysteem biedt de functionaliteit van soortgelijke stuurprogramma's aan als API.

Algemeen
Een API definieert de toegang tot de functionaliteit die erachter schuil gaat.  De buitenwereld kent geen details van de functionaliteit of implementatie, maar kan dankzij de API die functionaliteit wel gebruiken. Een voordeel hiervan is dat met een API verschillende implementaties kunnen worden gebruikt, zolang deze maar voldoen aan de API. Een voorbeeld is de Windows API. De onderliggende implementatie kan per machine verschillen, zonder dat de applicatie dit eigenlijk merkt: zowel Windows 98 als XP werkten met de Win32-API.

Een API kan worden in een interface description language geschreven. Dit wordt vooral gebruikt als meer programmeertalen van dezelfde API gebruik moeten maken of als er wordt gewerkt met een componentensysteem, zoals COM of XPCOM.

Bibliotheek wordt soms als synoniem voor API gebruikt, maar dit is niet helemaal juist: een API vormt de toegang tot de bibliotheek. De API is daarbij de definitie van functies en andere objecten die in de bibliotheek beschikbaar zijn voor de applicatie.

API's voor websites
Het is steeds gebruikelijker dat ook websites over een publieke open API beschikken. Deze kunnen dan met methodes als REST, SOAP, GraphQL, RSS of XML/RPC worden aangesproken. Het formaat dat wordt teruggestuurd is dan bijvoorbeeld XML of JSON. Door een dergelijke API beschikbaar te stellen is het mogelijk om een mashup te maken, zoals een combinatie van de kaarten van Google Maps met de foto's van Panoramio. Dergelijke toepassingen zijn typisch voor Web 2.0 en open data worden doorgaans via een API ter beschikking gesteld.

Wanneer een website geen API aanbiedt, kan men nog proberen de gegevens door scrapen te verzamelen.

From Middle English ye, ȝe, from Old English ġē ("ye"), the nominative case of the second-person plural personal pronoun, from West Germanic *jīz, variant of Proto-Germanic *jūz ("ye"), from Proto-Indo-European *yūs ("ye"), *yū́, plural of *túh₂. Cognate with Scots ye ("ye"), Dutch gij, jij, je ("ye"), Low German ji, jie ("ye"), German ihr ("ye"), Danish and Swedish I ("ye"), Icelandic ér ("ye"). See also you.
(archaic outside Northern England, Cornwall, Ireland) You (the people being addressed).
Ye was originally used only for the nominative case (as the subject), and only for the second-person plural. Later, ye was used as a subject or an object, either singular or plural, which is the way that you is used today. In modern Irish usage, ye is used as a subject or an object in the plural, to contrast with you (singular).
(obsolete) Address a single person by the use of the pronoun ye instead of thou.
Yeyn or sey ye with worshyp, viso.
The Cyrillic Russian letter Е, е.
Catawba nouns do not inflect for number.
Many of Catawba's names for tribes incorporate this word, e.g. yę iswa ("the Catawba", literally "people of the river"), yę manterą ("the Cherokee", literally "people born in/on the land").
The vowel of this word is generally nasalized; this is reflected in different ways or not at all in different transcriptions: ye, yę, yen. Sometimes, an initial i, also nasalized, is found: inyen / įyę.
Form of se used at the end of a phrase, after the predicate and the subject, in that order; to be.
Lu kaptis la kavalo per lazo ye la kolo.
He/she captured the horse by a lasso to the neck.
Ye la angulo di la strado.
At the corner of the street.
Ilu prenis elu ye la tayo.
He took her by the waist.
The name of the Latin script letter Y/y.
Second-person plural pronoun: ye, you (plural).
(formal) second-person singular pronoun: you (singular).
The formal singular usage, following the T-V distinction, was used to address one's superiors, elders or others to whom one might wish to show politeness or respect.

You've designed a product, shown it to customers, and lined up orders. You've designed your manufacturing process and are ready to start producing a high-quality product. You've hit your dates and schedules and reached all your objectives. Wouldn't it be a shame to have done all that work and then see your product damaged while it's shipped to its destination?
Many manufacturers and industrial companies opt for wooden crates as a default packaging solution. A wooden crate can be the right choice in some instances, but there are others in which a different material could be more appropriate.
The right one for your package depends on the specific risks it will face while traveling by land, air, or sea.
Here at Deufol, we custom design and build packages based on the unique needs and objectives of each customer. Every detail of the design is dictated by the customer's requirements. That includes the material used to manufacture the packaging. While we often product wood crates for customers, we also offer other materials.
Below are descriptions of three of the most-commonly used packaging materials for manufacturing and industrial companies: plastic, metal, and wood. If you're unsure of which type of package is right for you, it may be helpful to discuss it with a manufacturing consultant.
Plastic can be an efficient and cost-effective packaging material, and it can also be surprisingly durable. Many packagers use injection moulding to produce plastic packaging. However, injection moulding isn't always the right strategy for many companies.
Injection moulding can be costly and often requires a substantial upfront investment to develop the mold. That can be problematic if you require low-quantity packaging runs or if you may need occasional changes to the package design. Each new design might require a new mold, which means more capital.
At Deufol, we often recommend thermoforming as an alternative production method for plastic packaging. Thermoforming doesn't have the same kind of significant investment for mold development that you find with injection moulding. That means it's less costly and time-consuming to create a new mold.
The flexibility and cost-efficiency of thermoforming can be a valuable asset. Thermoforming allows you to quickly implement design changes to your packaging. You can produce small runs of packaging in a cost-effective manner. And thermoforming is versatile enough to meet nearly any design or quality-control requirements.
Metal is a popular packaging choice for manufacturing and industrial companies because of its durability. It's difficult to damage and it's effective at protecting materials from water, air, humidity, sunlight, and other elements.
Many companies also choose metal packaging because of its sustainability. Metal can often be recycled, so packaging made from metal can help you and your customers meet sustainability objectives. In some cases, you may even be able to reuse metal packaging, which can help both sustainability and cost control efforts.
The challenge with metal packaging is finding a packaging partner who is capable of engineering the material to meet your needs. Many packagers don't have the resources to do the job effectively. If you're interested in using metal as a packaging solution, look for a packaging partner who has the engineering and fabricating resources needed to craft a package that meets your needs.
While plastic and metal have their advantages, there are still many situations in which wood is the best option. Wood can be cost effective and it can be easily crafted to meet a wide range of size and shape requirements. Wood crates are also easy to assemble, which means you may be able to produce them in-house.
Of course, there are challenges that come with wood crates. One is that they can be costly if not designed properly. If you're not using reusable packaging, you may have to purchase new materials every time you need a package. Wood crate production is also difficult to automate, so labor costs could be an issue.
Quality could be a concern with wood crates. They may be vulnerable to water, extreme temperatures, sunlight, and more. If you opt for a wood package, you may need interior barriers or dunnage to ensure product quality while in-transit.
Regardless of which material you use for your package, you may ultimately need preservation protection to keep the package safe while in transit. There are a broad range of preservation materials available. The right one for your package depends on the specific risks it will face while traveling by land, air, or sea.
Corrosion is one of the biggest threats that products and packages face while in transit. It's not the only risk, though. Depending on your product, materials, and method of transport, your package could be vulnerable to water damage, light exposure, extreme temperatures, and even volatile movement within the container.
The best way to determine the most effective form of protective packaging is to conduct a risk analysis of your product and package. That analysis will highlight the threats that are most likely to occur and the threats that could cause the most damage.
Protective material options could include heat shrink or foil with volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCI). Foams and cushions with VCI emitters can protect against corrosion and movement. Other solutions include containers vacuum-packed with desiccants and even materials applied directly to the product, like cosmoline oils and spray powders. Again, an experienced and knowledgeable packager can conduct a risk audit and help you choose the most effective protective materials.
There's no universal answer as to which material is best for packaging. It depends on your unique needs, goals, and budget. You'll be best served by working with an experienced and knowledgeable packaging consultant who has expertise with a broad range of material options. They can analyze your needs and recommend the material that's right for you.

In 2003 John Michael Greer became the seventh Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA), an initiatory organization teaching Celtic nature spirituality which was founded in 1912. The outcome was that his writings began to stray into territory very far from the Hermetic occult philosophy that had been the previous focus of his career. The essays included in this volume chronicle some of the themes he explored as a result: Druidry, Jungian psychology, politics, history, and the shape of the future in a society in decline.
One of the most widely respected voices in contemporary occult studies, John Michael Greer is the award-winning author of more than 50 books, including The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, The Druidry Handbook, The Celtic Golden Dawn, and Circles of Power. He has also written four books on peak oil and the future of industrial society, including The Long Descent and The Ecotechnic Future. An initiate in Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for 12 years. He lives in Cumberland, Maryland, with his wife Sara.

Tag: Flamenco Finland
Batácora premiered at Tampere Flamenco Festival
The stage is bare apart from four figures, the bass player Dile Kolanen plays his instrument in the corner. There are three figures on stage wearing black bata de colas. Wait, three… this is supposed to be a duet… yet there appear to be three dancers on stage…
Photo from Tampere Flamenco Festival instagram page by photographer FotoMarkku
These were my initial reactions to Batácora, the duet of flamencas Maija Lepistö and Marja Rautakorpi, which premiered on Tampere Flamenco Festival on Friday 29th June, 2018. Moments later all became clearer as the piece advanced to rhythmic work on the black flamenco floor and the third person lying on the floor was revealed to be cantaora Alicia Acuña. And what a singer she was! Basing her work on the combination of voice and motion, she was constantly united to the movement of the bailaoras, a true collaborator to the dance, which was emphasized by the ingenious decision to clothe her identically with the two dancers.
The piece ebbed and flowed together with the fascinating bass, an instrument that is not part of the tradition of flamenco but complements flamenco so well, the simple but efficient lighting of light designer Ville Virtanen, and the strength of the singer who was more a part of a trio than an accompaniment to a duet. And what a joy to see these two bailaoras, Maija Lepistö, a much admired dancer and choreographer, and Marja Rautakorpi, a fresh, newer talent, as they showcased not only their incredible versatility but also the versatility of the bata de cola. Having seen both dancers in a more traditional setting at the Helsinki Flamenco Festival this year, it was delightful to see them show their more contemporary and experimental side. Both with flowing body work, I was this time enthralled and inspired especially by their effortless rhythmic footwork and the way they they worked as a duet, being at once strong individuals and part of a team.
Although one might think that the piece was quite short, approximately 30 minutes, I believe that true wisdom and insight was shown here by choreographers Lepistö and Rautakorpi as the audience was left wanting to see more. I for one am waiting for the next opportunity to see and be inspired more by this incredible team of artists! Thank you Batácora team for true inspiration!
This piece can also be read at the Minna en el Mundo -section of this blog and will form a part of my flamenco text library in English.

Bridal loungewear label Pomme was born out of Melbourne co-founder Emily Ventura's own search for "non-floral, non-shiny but affordable getting-ready shirts" for her wedding. "I couldn't find anything that wasn't really expensive. [It] adds up when you have a few bridesmaids and have already gone over budget on the florist," she says. "Everything was too girly or 'bridal' for me … I didn't want 'bride' [written] across the back in diamantes."
At the time, she was doing the marketing and PR for womenswear label Interval, owned by Kara Lui (a former Alexander Wang intern), who's also the co-founder of Pomme.
"Kara had a simple pinstripe cotton shirt dress in her collection, which suited my more minimalist style, so I chose that for my bridesmaids," says Ventura. "The amount of questions we both received from posting pictures of my wedding on Instagram triggered the thought that maybe others out there were struggling to find something as I did."
"Brides are putting more effort into making [the pre-wedding ritual] as picture-perfect as the rest of the celebrations," she adds.
And so Pomme launched at the beginning of 2018.
With every design, Ventura and Lui aim to answer three questions: "What will make [someone] feel comfortable and confident on the day? What will [flatter the] whole bridal party and their various body shapes? What looks beautiful now that will also stand the test of time 10, 20 years later?" Lui says. Pomme's understated garments are designed to last beyond the wedding day – the timeless shirting looks just as good with a pair of jeans; the classic robes are ideal for lounging at home.
Shirt dresses and shirt sets are 100 per cent cotton with a structured boyfriend-shirt look – but they're soft to touch, too. The robes and camisole sets are made from linen-cotton blends and are less prone to wrinkling compared to 100 per cent linen. "Important for wedding day photos," Lui says.
Collection 2 – the label's latest shirting range, which launched in October – is inspired by summer light and air, and comes in warm and sandy hues, with a touch of muted green. Hero pieces include the polka-dot shirt dress, which comes in a relaxed boyfriend fit with an open collar. The option of having your initials embroidered on the chest or across the sleeve is also available.
The Solange robe is made from a premium linen-cotton blend in a washed grass green. It has a detachable wide waist tie, internal buttons and back-hanger loop. "I'm getting married next year and will be dressing myself and [my] bridesmaids in this style," says Lui.
Prices range from $38 to $98. The second installment of Collection 2 will launch in the coming weeks, and will include a travel-friendly, wrinkle-resistant shirt dress and shirt set.

Open source software is being used around the world to keep people safe and help ensure self-determination when the existing democratic processes break down. It's providing innovative, scalable, and locally appropriate solutions to the issues of literacy and information dissemination. And it's solving the practical problems of getting help to the right places, and letting people know where to avoid as a disaster unfolds, and where to go for most impact when cleaning up.
Of course, while open source projects are saving the world, working to make every scrap of available information useful, it's social media and ordinary people that are producing the reports, providing the data. But how do you extract signal from the amazing noise generator that is the internet? You guessed it – open source software comes to the rescue again, along with a good dose of volunteer time!
This talk will draw on Noirin's experience with working on crisis management in the wake of the Christchurch earthquakes, as well as her keen interest in humanitarian work, to look at some of the projects currently saving the world, and how ordinary people can repurpose the technology they use every day to make all of this possible.
