the white shirt
10 Sep 2012
I have always believed there are some Platonic ideals in the world of fashion: jeans, perfectly tailored black pants, the fisherman's sweater that makes one look adorably cute and petite and sexy, and not as if one is carrying an extra 20 pounds. Another, I must confess, is the perfect white shirt. They are tricky devils, these white shirts. They can't be synthetic (good grief, no!) as they will make you sweat to the nth degree. They can't be too structured, lest you look like the matriarch at a wedding. They must have enough substance, however, to allow one to wear it without feeling as if one is about to reveal the darkest secrets of the lingerie drawer to the world.
But it's a worthwhile search. The perfect white search gives the face a bright lift, removes years, and has a modern|classic look that is almost impossible to refute. Think Audrey in Funny Face. Think Sharon Stone at the Oscars. Think Charlotte Gainsbourg just being herself.
That said, one knows it will be a heartbreaking relationship. We all know that the most tragic aspect of the white shirt is its inevitable and quick demise. They get dirty, and, well, to not put too fine a point on it, sweat in. And then, frankly, they're unwearable. So owning the perfect white shirt is always, at best, a very short term victory. It's ephemeral. A moment in the sun. Because it's pristine-ness, it's cleanliness, it very whiteness ensures the brevity of its stay in your closet. And so the search is ever on.

He Wrote the Book On Alternative AssetsJune 25th, 2012
A decade ago, when Mark J. P. Anson, then California Public Employees' Retirement System's chief investment officer, went through the Chartered Alternative Investment program, there was no textbook. So he wrote one. Today, his 847 page book – CAIA Level I — has just been updated and it is the leading work on alternative assets. Anson, who is still the chief writer, says his goal was to write, "Not only a textbook but a reference book that any person who's investing in alternatives could use as just that, a handy reference." Read the interview with Anson on FINalternatives.

System of recognition[edit]
The Order of Culture and Persons of Cultural Merit function together in honoring contributions to the advancement and development of Japanese culture in a variety of fields such as academia, arts and others.[1]
Order of Culture[edit]
The Emperor himself presents the honor at the award ceremony, which takes place at the Imperial Palace on the Day of Culture (November 3). Candidates for the Order of Culture are selected from the Persons of Cultural Merit by the Minister for Education, Science, Sports and Culture upon hearing views of all the members of the selection committee for the Persons of Cultural Merit. The Minister then recommends the candidates to the Prime Minister so that they can be decided by the Cabinet.[1]
Persons of Cultural Merit[edit]
The system for Persons of Cultural Merit was established in 1951 by the Law on Pensions for the Persons of Cultural Merit. The purpose is to honor persons of cultural merit by providing a special government-sponsored pension. Since 1955, the new honorees have been announced on the Day of Culture, the same day as the award ceremony for the Order of Culture.[1]

"Northern Illinois, Georgia Tech, Illinois, and a lot of other Big Ten schools like Michigan [are interested]," Oquendo said.
The Illini brought one of their satellite camps right to Mount Carmel, and Oquendo took advantage of having the camp on his home turf to put on a good performance in drills and one on ones.
"They told me if I keep on working harder that I have a big shot with them and I can hopefully land an offer with them eventually."
From there, he went to Michigan, where he again showed his talents.
"Michigan likes me a lot actually. I had a real good day out at Michigan. I went undefeated. It was a good day. When they called the starting line, I was the center."
Oquendo also camped at Texas, Georgia Tech, Northern Illinois, as well as the Junior Rank camp in Chicago on Saturday, where he was again one of the top performers along the offensive line. While he does not have offers yet, continued improvement and showings like he had in June should bring them in time, and he admits he had a favorite school growing up.
"I would have to say Iowa was my favorite school and Michigan." he said.
Oquendo says he will also play defensive tackle this season.

REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 11, 1997 — Microsoft Corp. yesterday filed its response to the Department of Justice (DOJ) petition, producing numerous documents that demonstrate that the company had planned to incorporate Web browsing functionality into the Microsoft® Windows® 95 operating system (code-named "Chicago" ) as early as 1993, and that the DOJ knew of Microsoft's intent prior to the signing of the 1994 consent decree.
"Integrating Web functionality into Windows is a natural and essential improvement," said William H. Neukom, senior vice president for law and corporate affairs at Microsoft. " We think the government should be encouraging this type of innovation, not trying to thwart it.
"We realized long before Netscape was even a company that we needed to build this type of functionality into Windows for consumers," Neukom added. " Microsoft Internet Explorer was part of the very first version of Windows 95 provided to computer manufacturers. For the Justice Department now to say that Internet Explorer and Windows are separate products is plain wrong. Before the consent decree was signed, we produced documents to the DOJ and there were press accounts outlining our Internet-related plans for Windows 95.
The company also produced as evidence a public statement made by the DOJ in 1994 in which the Justice Department specifically acknowledged that Microsoft has continually added new software features to its operating systems, and stated that government action to prevent such integration of new features generally would not be in the public interest.
"The consent decree does not give the Department of Justice any right to intrude into matters of product design and development," said Neukom. "We were very clear on that point in the consent decree when we negotiated the right to develop integrated products, even when code might also be available separately. The American software industry is the envy of the world. However, for it to remain strong, software developers must have the freedom to design and improve their products as they respond to changing consumer demand."
The company's arguments were presented in a 48-page brief filed Monday, Nov. 10, in opposition to the DOJ's petition in the consent decree proceeding before United States District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson.
In the brief, Microsoft asks the court to reject all of the Justice Department's claims. Microsoft also asks for an opportunity to conduct discovery in preparation for any evidentiary hearing concerning the DOJ's allegations. At a hearing held on Oct. 27, 1997, the court established a briefing schedule under which the Justice Department will have until Nov. 20 to respond to Microsoft's brief. The court has scheduled a further hearing for Dec. 5, 1997.
Highlights and Selected Quotations from the Filing
The DOJ has been aware of Microsoft's integration plans since as early as 1993.
"The DOJ became aware of Microsoft's plans to include Internet-related features in Windows 95 when it subpoenaed large numbers of documents from Microsoft in late 1993 and early 1994. These documents detailed Microsoft's plans to make Internet-related technologies an integral part of 'Chicago' - undermining the DOJ's contention that the inclusion of Internet-related technologies in Windows 95 is simply a recent effort by Microsoft to 'label or package Internet Explorer for strategic or legal advantage.'" (p. 6)
"In fact, Microsoft began work on some of the technologies eventually included in the Internet Explorer in 1993. This work began long before Netscape, the beneficiary of the DOJ's petition, was founded in April 1994, and thus could not have been motivated by any desire to injure Netscape." (p. 6)
DOJ's own statement from 1994 supports Microsoft's right to integrate new features into Windows.
"In responding to the Micro System Options comment, the DOJ expressly stated that its 'complaint does not challenge as violations of the antitrust laws Microsoft's inclusion of new software features in its operating system products.'" (p. 24, citing 59 Federal Register 59426, 59428, Nov. 17, 1994)
"The DOJ explained, 'Over the past fourteen years, Microsoft has developed and sold numerous successive versions of its operating system products, each more advanced and containing more features than the previous one. Whenever Microsoft adds an attractive feature to its operating system products, it reduces the demand for software products sold by third parties as a complement to the Microsoft product that performed similar functions.'" (p. 24 of Microsoft's brief, citing 59 Federal Register 59426, 59428, Nov. 17, 1994)
"Moreover, the DOJ stated without qualification that such a broad injunction 'generally would not be consistent with the public interest.'" (p. 24 of Microsoft's brief, citing 59 Federal Register 59426, 59428, Nov. 17, 1994)
Government interference in product design hurts consumers and slows innovation.
"The consent decree does not give the DOJ authority to regulate the design of Microsoft's products merely because the DOJ is concerned that Microsoft will be too successful." (p. 34)
"In arguing that it was somehow inappropriate for Microsoft to include Internet-related technologies in Windows 95, the DOJ asks the court to apply a static definition to an inherently dynamic product. By making such a request ... the DOJ threatens to freeze the development of Microsoft operating systems as of 1995. The marketplace - not the DOJ - should determine how operating systems are designed. If the DOJ had halted the evolutionary process of operating system development ten years ago, consumers would have been denied the benefits of all the innovative work that Microsoft and its competitors have done in making computing more accessible, efficient, robust and fun. The consent decree was not intended to stand in the way of such technological progress." (pp. 32-33)
"Consumers want Internet-related technologies in their operating systems, and Microsoft is striving to meet that demand. There is nothing special about the Internet Explorer element of Windows 95 in this regard. Microsoft has been including progressively more and more features in its operating systems for the last sixteen years, as the DOJ acknowledged during the Tunney Act proceeding." (p. 32)
"Providing such access is just the latest step in the evolution of operating systems to keep pace with the changing nature of personal computing, which explains why virtually all modern operating systems include a variety of Internet-related technologies." (p. 8)
"Microsoft imposes no constraint on the ability of computer manufacturers to preinstall Netscape Navigator or any other browser software on their machines. Moreover, the fact that the Internet Explorer element of Windows 95 includes Web browsing functionality does not diminish the willingness of computer manufacturers to include Web browsing software from Netscape or other vendors on their machines." (p. 9)
DOJ's attacks on Microsoft's Non Disclosure Agreements are completely unfounded.
Microsoft's nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) are similar to those used throughout the software industry and in other industries. These provisions are common, giving companies an opportunity to seek appropriate protective orders as their confidential business information and trade secrets are provided to third parties in the course of a legal or governmental process, such as a lawsuit. The Justice Department does not cite any examples to support the allegation that Microsoft's NDAs have prevented anyone from communicating complaints about Microsoft to the DOJ. Moreover, Microsoft has provided the DOJ with two documents, spanning more than four years, stating explicitly that, due to the confidentiality protections provided by federal law, computer manufacturers may share Microsoft's confidential information with the DOJ without giving Microsoft prior notification.
"The DOJ was well aware of the existence of NDAs at the time the consent decree was signed, but the DOJ never suggested that they had the deleterious effect it now posits. Against that background, the DOJ's thinly-veiled suggestion that the NDAs are part of a plot by Microsoft to prevent the DOJ from investigating Microsoft's business practices is both preposterous and deeply offensive." (p. 40)
Brief outlines numerous reasons to reject DOJ's claims.
First, the consent decree itself refers to Windows 95 - which the DOJ has always known would include Internet functionality - as a "covered product," not as two separate products, as the DOJ now contends. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) versions of Windows 95 have always included Internet Explorer.
Second, a key provision in the consent decree specifically states that the decree does not prohibit Microsoft from "developing integrated products." Windows 95 is just such an integrated product, integrating the functionality of the MS-DOS® operating system version 6 and Windows 3.1 together with substantial new technology.
Third, the meaning of "integrated" in the consent decree is clear and unambiguous - it means Microsoft may provide in one product functionality that might also be available in separate products. Such integration is common in the software industry, and good for customers and other software developers. Moreover, given the functions Microsoft Internet Explorer performs and the many interdependencies that exist between Internet Explorer and other portions of the operating system, Internet Explorer is clearly a core component of Windows 95.
Fourth, the history of the key provision in the consent decree, including documents exchanged between Microsoft and the DOJ, confirm Microsoft's interpretation of the relevant language of the decree.
Fifth, the superficial criteria used by the Department of Justice to argue that Internet Explorer is a "separate product" are irrelevant because the decree allows Microsoft to develop integrated products even where code is offered separately. In addition, the criteria now suggested by the DOJ for establishing a violation are not part of the consent decree and were never discussed by the parties when the decree was negotiated. They can not be used now to provide the basis for a contempt proceeding against Microsoft.
Sixth, the DOJ is legally prevented from raising objections to Microsoft's integration of Web functionality into the operating system now, because the DOJ has known of this integration for years without taking action.
New Documents Included in the Filing
Steven Sinofsky, former technical assistant to Bill Gates and current general manager of the Office Product Unit at Microsoft, describes early plans at Microsoft to include Web browsing in Windows 95. Attached to Sinosfky's affidavit are various documents - all provided to the DOJ before the consent decree was signed - showing Microsoft's plans to include rich Internet functionality in Windows 95. For example, one document from April 1994 lists network services to be included in "Chicago" , and starts the list with "Integrated Net Browsing in Explorer." Because they contain confidential company information, certain documents attached to Sinofsky's declaration will not be made public by Microsoft. The declaration will, however, include citations from these documents.
Brad Chase, vice president of developer relations and Internet marketing at Microsoft, describes how Microsoft has always viewed Internet Explorer as an integrated part of Windows 95. In contrast to the DOJ's assertion, he also shows that many parts of Windows are made available and marketed separately from the operating system, such as Exchange and the DirectX® set of APIs. Chase explains the reasons for distributing parts of the operating system separately, and why Microsoft did so with Internet Explorer, in order to upgrade the installed base and expand Internet use among consumers.
David Cole, Microsoft vice president responsible for ongoing development of Internet Explorer, shows that Internet Explorer is integrated with Windows 95 as a matter of software development. Cole describes in detail the purposes of an operating system, and then shows how Internet Explorer serves those purposes. In particular, Cole describes in great detail the architecture of Internet Explorer and shows how interdependent Internet Explorer is with the rest of Windows 95. He also describes how Internet Explorer exposes a rich set of system services for software developers, and how the performance of various parts of Windows 95 would be impaired if Internet Explorer were removed from it.
Joe Belfiore, group program manager at Microsoft responsible for the user interface of Windows 95, describes the user interface enhancements to Windows 95 provided by Internet Explorer 4, further demonstrating the integration of Internet Explorer with the operating system. Enhancements briefly described by Belfiore include the ability of Windows Explorer to access files on the Web, the new Web view in Windows Explorer, the Active Desktop TM , Start menu improvements and others, all provided by Internet Explorer 4.0.
Tim Krauskopf, a co-founder of Spyglass Inc. (though speaking on his own behalf here) and former software developer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, is a well known expert on Internet technology. Krauskopf states that Spyglass considered how to position browser technology before Netscape existed as a company, and that Spyglass decided it was operating system technology and have marketed it as such ever since. Krauskopf specifically identifies Internet Explorer as constituting operating system technology.
Richard Urowsky, senior outside counsel to Microsoft on antitrust matters, recounts the negotiating history of the consent decree with the DOJ in detail. Urowsky's declaration includes a number of documents supporting Microsoft's contention that at the time the consent decree was signed the agreement gave the DOJ no role in product design and that Microsoft was free to develop products that included functionality also provided separately by Microsoft or others.
The filing includes declarations from Packard Bell, Compaq and Dell. These OEMs state that they decide what software to put on their machines based on customer demand. They further state that they believe Internet Explorer 4 is in demand by their customers, and that is why they are shipping it today, even though they are not contractually obligated to do so at this time (and that they are free to ship Netscape Navigator if they wish).
The filing includes declarations from a number of independent software vendors (ISVs) saying that they regard Internet Explorer as providing a rich set of operating system services and that they benefit from Microsoft's inclusion of Internet Explorer as part of Windows 95. The ISVs also benefit from Microsoft's separate distribution of the latest versions of Internet Explorer because it provides an upgrade to the Windows 95 installed base with new system services that products from these ISVs rely upon.

When not mercilessly beating the dead horse birther myth, WorldNetDaily publisher Joseph Farah is apparently blaming natural disasters on America's declining morals. "Occasionally God really does shake things up as a sign to us of the consequences of disobedience and indifference to our Creator," Farah writes of yesterday's earthquake in an op-ed. Fortunately, the "earthquake turned out to be a warning," Farah writes, "[b]ut there will be a bigger one coming." "Washington, D.C., deserves more than the wallop it got today," Farah ominously concludes. Farah's comments are reminiscent of televangelist Pat Robert's blaming of Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti on God's wrath, or the Westboro Baptist Church's blaming of the gays for pretty much every natural disaster, untimely death, and stubbed toe in history.

The proposed paper aims to explore the phenomenon of reading Ping and the textual relations between the story and Becketts wider oeuvre.
The reader of Ping occupies the same space as that of the protagonist. Faced with the dense repetition, the traces of images and memories, the reader attempts to interpret the text just as the protagonist attempts to state the all known. Yet both are frustrated as the all known fails to coalesce and the prospect of slipping into the white infinite of textual possibilities, some of which are closely allied to other works in Becketts oeuvre, becomes more grave.
The paper traces how significance within the text is created and then dissolved. The subtle changes in key phrases, the syntactical ambiguities and the indeterminacy of the ping at once encourage and frustrate the application of systematic interpretation, leaving reader and protagonist to grasp at the flitting images or memories as a source of

Don't you wish you just craved salads?
Like, instead of that bag of salt and vinegar chips that keeps calling your name, you were instead hankering for kale? Or rather than eyeing those Chocolate Chip-Espresso Bean Cookies like they were your destiny, you were pining for quinoa and tomatoes?
It would make shorts weather and the whole of summer fashion so much less dreadful, wouldn't it? Well, I can't hypnotize your taste buds for you but I can tell you that this Kale, Quinoa, and Feta Chicken Salad is something I really, truly crave. Honest!
I don't know what the temperature is in your neck of the woods but here on the west coast the first heat wave hit the other day and, while my neighbors were busy pulling the fans out of storage, I was busy dreading one thing: shorts. Tell me I'm not alone on this one, you guys! After months of jeans and scarves and everything else, the last thing I'm ready for are those distressed jean shorts I bought at that end of summer sale last year.
Being a California girl, I try to take advantage of the abundance of fresh ingredients available in the summer months and I make it my mission to eat at least one salad daily. It not only helps with the short dilemma, but it also makes cooking more bearable when the thermometer reads triple digits.
Sure, this salad has all those ingredients—kale and quinoa— that are getting tons of nutritional press these days. But saying that's the whole reason for this salad would be doing it a disservice. This is one of those salads as a meal type salads – the kind that has a good amount of flavors, textures, and is filling enough to keep me satisfied. You know, it's not one of those salads that leaves you hungry a few minutes later.
And the best part? If you make the dressing ahead (because it can hang around for up to 4 days, so why not) and use leftover chicken and quinoa, it's a snap to put together.
So you can concentrate on other things, like just saying no to those chips!
Kale, Quinoa, and Feta Chicken Salad with Creamy Mint Dressing
Makes: 4 servings
Total Time: 15 minutes
Hands-On Time: 5 minutes
For the kale:
2 large bunches Lacinato (aka Tuscan) Kale (about 10 ounces)
1 lemon, halved
Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
For the dressing:
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons white white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon granulated salt
Leaves from 3 sprigs of mint (about 15 leaves)
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes
For the salad:
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 8 ounces)
1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 pint cherry, grape, or sweet 100s tomatoes, halved (about 8 ounces)
4 Persian cucumbers, small dice
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
For the kale:
Fold each kale leaf in half lengthwise then pull out and discard the center rib. Tear leaves into bite-sized pieces and place in a large nonreactive bowl. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt and, with clean hands, rub and gently squeeze the kale until it just begins to soften and wilt (it will get darker green in color). Set aside 5 to 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the salad.
For the dressing:
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the inside of the carafe as needed. Taste and adjust flavor, adding salt, freshly ground black pepper, and sugar, as needed.
For the salad:
Pour oil and lemon over shredded chicken, season with salt, and freshly ground black pepper, and toss to combine. Add garbanzo beans, quinoa, tomatoes, and cucumber and toss to combine.
Place greens in a serving bowl or divide among serving dishes and top with chicken mixture. Scatter cheese over the top, drizzle with dressing and serve.

Art deco: Investment opportunity? Often underestimated Art-Deco jewelry has made a come back amongst serious collectors and even investors. Says David Bennett, the head of Sotheby's jewelry department for Europe and the Middle East: "Art Deco was everything jewelry was meant to be--beautiful, glamorous, and romantic."
Attracting Collectors: The current interest in Art Deco jewelry only dates from the late 1970's. There was a time when Art Deco jewelry was actually worth less than the stones it was made off, thus leading to many pieces being taken apart to sell or use the stones separately.
There are several reasons why this situation has changed so dramatically, and is expected to stay that way:
Reasons for Art-Deco Boom:Timeless: devotees vary from the Duchess of Windsor to Sarah Jessica Parker. "It goes with everything, and it's still absolutely chic." Says David Bennett, the head of Sotheby's jewelry department for Europe and the Middle East.
Limited Availability: where designers sell thousands of jewelry pieces per year nowadays it used to be a few dozen in the 1920's.
Quality: These pieces are the product of a time many consider the pinnacle of jewelry craftsmanship. "You'll never see anything like it again," declares Esmerian. "Back then, you had to apprentice under a master jeweler. It is not as it was in the 1920s and '30s. Today, people want coffee breaks."
Prices can hit $100,000 plus, but the starter collector can get in for $1,500. Truly exceptional pieces-made with precious stones and crafted by top designers-can go for much higher. Besides quality of craftsmanship and the strength of the design other key factors in establishing value are a dog's head stamped inside a piece, employed by French designers only, and for all, the visibility of scant metal on the underside of bracelets, necklaces and earrings. The less metal used, the more skillful the artisan, and the more valuable the piece. Pieces made with jade are especially valuable today too, due to interest from Asian collectors.
Art Deco Jewelry: the beginning
Art Deco emerged in an era of economic slumps and depressions, social strife, hunger marches and the political battle between Communism and Fascism. It was against this troubled and traumatic background that Art Deco forged it's own identity.
Art Deco designing was at its height during the 1925 world's fair in Paris, called the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, an event set up by the French to showcase what they viewed as their supremacy in creating luxury goods and avante-garde position in industrial design. Everything from jewelry to small personal items, such as vanity sets and decorative boxes, to furniture was on display there. It was later that the period became known as Art Deco, shortened from the words arts decoratifs in the fair's name.
Art Deco was essentially an eclectic style; it's artists and designers plundering a diversity of historic sources. Simultaneously, however, it emphasised modernity, employing the latest industrial materials and techniques. It was this fusion of history and modernity that gave Art Deco its unique character.
Art deco is characterized by sleek, streamlined forms; geometric patterns; and experiments with industrial materials such as metals, plastics, and glass.
Art Deco Jewelry: fashionWomen celebrated their postwar success by piling on the jewelry. Evening fashion of fluid, low belted, sleeveless tunics, was perfect for showcasing multiple Art Deco bracelets. Platinum and diamonds were again in vogue but the Art Deco jewelry style was more geometric and linear than the earlier Edwardian "belle époque" jewels. Jewelry sales in the 1920's were stellar. This reflected not only the affluence of the general public but the trend for unbridled consumerism.
Endless variations of Art Deco bracelets were designed and referred to as plaque, flexible link, box, strap, band or straight-line. The straight-line bracelet often featured the new square cut diamonds developed in Paris, aptly termed "French-cut" diamonds. Art Deco bracelets were frequently accented with natural and synthetic rubies and sapphires. The "emerald" accents often seen in Art Deco jewels were, more often than not, actually green glass. Some examples of natural emerald accents are seen, but they are rare.
Art Deco Jewelry: Designers and Designs
Art Deco Jewelry in ParisThe first designers to contribute to the creation of art deco were French fashion designer Paul Poiret and French jewelry and glass designer René Lalique. Echoing the experimental glass of American designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, Lalique's glass designs of the 1910s featured continuous, flowing lines and subtle, unusual colours. The colorful and original designs created by artists Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso for the Ballets Russes dance company in Paris were an additional influence on the emerging art deco style. Art deco designers also admired and borrowed from ancient art that was being unearthed by archaeologists at the time, especially the treasures of the ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun (exhibited in Paris in 1922) and Maya and other Mesoamerican art.
Gérard Sandoz (b. 1902) came from a family of jewelers and began to design starkly geometric pieces for the Sandoz firm while he was still a teenager. His output is significant within the realms of the Art Deco period. Another gifted goldsmith was Jean Després (1889 - 1980), whose industrial-design training in the First World War is reflected in his strong pieces. His machine age aesthetic may be interpreted as unwieldy and masculine, but it was well suited to the Jazz Age, to the increasingly strong image of the liberated and androgynous woman. Després' modernist, industrial derived pieces are some of the most desirable for collectors of vintage jewelry today.
Art deco jewelry elsewhereArt Deco Jewelry motifs are characterized by geometric designs, diverse combinations of color and abstract patterns. In 1922, the opening of Tutankhamen's Tomb in Egypt inspired another Egyptian revival. Influences from cubism as well as African, Oriental, Persian/Islamic, Jugendstil and Native American designs were common in Art Deco Jewelry. Art Deco style in other European countries was largely derivative, like the Italian G. Ravasco's diamond studdied geometric creations or Theodor Fahmer's later jewels. Some London jewellers, like Asprey and Mappin & Webb, produced Art Deco Style confections, but these are largely unsigned so the designers are unknown. Some British design jewellers however, like Sybil Dunlop, Harold Stabler and H.G. Murphy, known primarily for their Arts and Crafts pieces produced decidedly moderne jewels
Geoge Jensen's firm in Copenhagen continued to produce silver jewelry in the Art Deco era adding sharp geometric forms to it's repertoire of stylised motifs, these in turn were imitated by a host of European jewellers.
The indigenous Mexican silver industry was highlighted in the Art Deco period by the talents of an American architect designer teacher, William Spratling, who settled in Taxco in 1929. He opened a shop dealing in traditional crafts and also started a school where he trained natives to work with silver and other substances. A whole community sprang up in Taxco around Spratling and his wife.
Several significant jewelry manufacturers like New York's Oscar Heyman & Brothers, the Bonner Manufacturing Company and Walter P. McTeigue, Inc, provided Saks Fifth Avenue and other exclusive department stores with their creations. Even the mail order Sears, Roebuck catalogue featured moderne jewellery.
The motifs of Art Deco jewellery range from the sublime to the ridiculous: from stunning geometric configurations of paste to silly cherries dangling from a wooden bar. The former has borrowed its subject from deluxe jewellery of the time, but the latter, a joke, has come about more or less on its own. Animals and people inhabit the world of 1920s and 30s costume jewelry, from gentle playful fawns and playful plastic Scotty dogs to paste, turquoise and Marchasite Chinamen and elegant, gilt metal cloche hatted vamps. Flowers in every possible colour, combinations and variety sprouted on gilt metal or silver brooches and pendants, their paste petals glittering shamelessly.

4 of 6
Mississippi, a Bible-belt state, ranked third in philanthropic giving, another example of the relationship between giving and religion.
The state had an estimated median contribution of $3,998 with a giving percentage of 7.2 percent of income. The estimated median discretionary income was $55,264.
When giving to churches is removed from the analysis, the state philanthropic rankings change dramatically.
This is most stark in New England, where religious participation is lower than in many other parts of the country, and the Northeast. When religious giving is removed, New York State ranked number 18 overall, moves up to number two. Pennsylvania, number 40 when giving to religious institutions is included, ranks fourth for giving go other charitable institutions.
