BIG THANKS to Sponsors Bougainvillea Perfumeria and Sampson House, who made it possible for SCECHS students to showcase their artistic talents. SCECHS Student's artwork will be on display at the "Ah Glow in the Park" Tree Lighting Ceremony on Friday, December 6, 2019
5:30pm - 12pm @ Limpricht Park Christiansted Town.
St. Croix Educational Complex High School art students in Ms. Danica David, Mr. Dwydale Dariah, and Mr. Shakir Smith’s classes designed Virgin Islands cultural paper dolls.
The first manufactured paper doll was Little Fanny. It was produced by S & J Fuller in London during 1810. Paper images were used in 9th-century Asian cultures for rituals and to create origami art in Japan.
The paper dolls made by SCECHS students were adorned with madras fabric. Madras fabric is used to design numerous Virgin Islands celebratory costumes. The first madras consist of woven yarn spun from the “tip-skin” of ancient trees in Madras, India, which is now modern-day Chennai. Madras fabric made its way to the Middle East and Africa by the 1200s. After that it made its way throughout the Caribbean islands.
The students made paper dolls in the form of quadrille dancers, mocko jumbies, and steel pan players. Mocko jumbies originated in West African and have been a part of the Virgin Islands’ cultural heritage for over 200 years. The European inspired dance quadrille was adapted in VI as colonial entertainment. Steelpan originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1930s. It later made its way to the Virgin Islands and other Caribbean Islands.
Quadrille Dance paper doll ornaments were created by Ms. Danica David's (SCECHS Fine Arts Department Chair) students.

50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INVASION OF “THE LITTLE GREEN MEN OF KELLY” TO BE FOCUS OF FESTIVAL AND SYMPOSIUM IN HOPKINSVILLE AUGUST 19-21HOPKINSVILLE
The 50th anniversary of one of the most famous close encounters of the third kind in the history of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) will be celebrated in Hopkinsville August 19-21.
On Aug. 21, 1955, members of the Cecil "Lucky" Sutton family on the Old Madisonville Road at the edge of Kelly, a rural community 8-miles northwest of Hopkinsville, said 12 little men dressed in silver suits landed in a spaceship. The Sutton Family engaged them in a battle for several hours. What resulted is one of the most perplexing and mysterious UFO incidents on record.
“Our festival is for the serious, the curious and people who just want to have loads of fun,” said Cheryl Cook, Executive Director of the Hopkinsville-Christian County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau. The festival will take place at a variety of locations in the Hopkinsville and Christian County community located in western Kentucky near Fort Campbell, Home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), although most events are scheduled for the Conference and Convention Center on Lovers Lane just off U.S. Highway 41-A south of Hopkinsville.


The word audit means to hear something. It was first used by Henry I, also known as Henry Beauclerc, during his reign in England. Henry was King of England from 1100 to his death in 1135. During his reign, a monumental step toward the bureaucratized state that lay in the future was taken. During that time, the king sent auditors to corners of the territory where the barons were spending the money as they should. The Barons protected the assets, and the taxes were collected and sent back to the king.
The Progress in Sight
Early signs of auditing have been found in ancient cultures like the UK, Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt, India, and Rome. In ancient India, dating back to 3BC, researchers can find scriptures in the Athashastra written by Kautilya. The Arthashastra’s Topic 6 outlines secret assessments and ongoing evaluations of the kingdom’s moral character of all ministers and high officials. Those who lack moral character or are easily seduced by money should not work in treasury or revenue collecting. In the early days of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, a system of crosses and checks was being used to maintain public accounts.
However, auditing can be traced back to 2000 BC. Still, it wasn’t used as the strict, standardized method for assurance and collection back then. In the Roman Empire, emperors used to appoint trustworthy young men called Quaestors. The king sent them to the edges of the empire to ensure that the governors were spending the money that Rome had sent correctly. They were tasked to ensure that the assets the money had bought were guarded and looked after. Most importantly, the taxes that were supposed to be collected were being collected and sent to Rome without the governor taking a slice or two for themselves.
The last decade of the 15th century was crucial for trade and commerce because of the Renassaince in Italy. As opposed to the previously used method of Cross and Checks, Double Entry bookkeeping was evolved and published in 1494 in Venice by Luca Paciolo. Fast forward to 1760, auditing changed extensively with the introduction of the Industrial Revolution. The revolution paired ordinary traders with each other and expanded the volume of trading transactions.
Back in the old days, there wasn’t a need for more than one income stream. But with the changes in industries and the familiarization with new products and inventions, people started to find ways to earn more money through investments. Joint stock companies and partnership firms joined together to form business enterprises.
The Investors became a part of the business processes. However, since it wasn’t their forte, they needed suggestions from professional advisors. They would only spend money on things they considered safe and secure. To facilitate this process, investors appointed trustworthy associates and friends they would call Auditors. The duty assigned was to ensure that the information provided by the company was fair and accurate. Auditing used to focus on the businesses run by the governor, king, or emperor themselves but slowly adjusted to make room for changes in the industries and later was used for investment purposes.
The Great Depression
Up until the 18th Century, Auditors were chosen primarily based on their morals and characters. Everything seemed to be going fine and dandy until the Stock Market Crash of 1929. The Great Crash was a precipitous collapse in US stock market values in 1929 that aided in causing the 1930s Great Depression.
It’s possible that a number of variables played a role in the stock market crash. The era of rife speculation was one of the more notable factors. In addition to losing the value of their investment. People who bought stocks via margin also owed money to the organizations that had provided the loans for the stock transactions. Businesses went bankrupt, factories stopped producing goods, and banks collapsed. Farm revenue also decreased by almost 50%.
The unemployment rate skyrocketed to 25%, with most job holders having to take significant pay cuts. The people having nowhere to live and no food to eat, would resort to shacks, caves, and even sewers while lining up at soup kitchens for food. The stock market crash brought about new revelations and drastically affected the auditing criteria. After that, Auditors needed to be qualified professionals to be considered for the job. Business people and investors put on a more enhancive focus on businesses’ profit and loss margins. This change would build on the financial reporting of the performances.
The Era of Computers
Now, this method may have been reliable to an extent, but it wasn’t very feasible in the big picture. It was time to spread businesses on a global range. On came 1960 and entered the computers! The curtain-raising of computers meant more accessible communication to the edges of the world and the option to digitalize the records for security and privacy.
Computers were being used to run whole organizations and keep the team intact with interaction and easy transmission. This change would mean a substantial evolution in the previously used methods. The entire auditing procedure was made much faster and easier with the machines. Accountability, a concern in the past, was slowly and steadily being approached. A computer may be an honest machine, but it needs a human to feed it information and run it.
The Era of Computers
It’s the last decades of the 20th century, and businesses are booming. Auditing was readily used by most prominent companies bearing the required results easily. However, the fake facade was soon broken after the Auditing Scandals of the 1980s – 1990s. One of the major ones was disclosed during the auditing of Enron. Enron was one of the major companies at the time, and a name as big as that required an auditor of equal footing.
Biggest Scandal in History
Arthur Anderson was one of the largest and most successful auditing firms back then and was responsible for auditing Enron. However, the deeds of one of the partners at the firm cost them a loss of more than 60 Billion Dollars in 4 years which ultimately drove the firm to file for bankruptcy. Arthur Anderson lost its reputation and got dissolved. Following the dissolving of the firm, stringent rules and regulations were introduced for choosing a trustworthy auditor.
Auditing used to be just about assets and finance in the start and leading up to the new generation. Yet, in recent years with the advancement in industries, it has been common for workflow and environment checks. Auditing nowadays focuses on the accountability of every minute detail in the workspace that may influence the production or process.
The Positive Impact of the Scandal
The scandals may have affected the business world negatively, but they also showcased the drawbacks of old auditing methods. All the imperfections showed ways the auditor would need to be chosen for businesses. It was concluded that a good auditor must possess Integrity. They must be independent of the company that they meant to audit, follow a complete standard of ethics and be technically competent. Before and after the revolution, business enterprise expansion was accompanied by an enhanced accounting system. The British Association of Accountants and Auditors was founded in January 1923, and passing this exam qualified a candidate to practice as a professional auditor. Human beings are a trial and error-based creation that are capable of unimaginable.
The advancement in IoT and AI will surely improve the standard techniques for auditing and make the process more effortless in the future. It is not only limited to the confines of industries. Nevertheless, it can be used in smaller-scale projects and activities as a means to uphold accountability.
Auditing in the Industry 4.0
Auditing has undoubtedly risen and transformed a lot over the past few centuries and will continue to do so. The introduction of Industry4.0 has opened up access to the wonders of Artificial Intelligence. IoT and similar technologies. These techniques have the potential to increase productivity further and reduce the chances of errors. AuditsIQ is one of the biggest admirers of the change in the system and adopts these methods to bring the best product to the clients. Users can use the system to convert the traditional auditing method into digital inspection. It also involves a few perks that make AuditsIQ the perfect inspection platform.


The History Of Lebanese Food
One of the most popular Middle Eastern cuisines is the Lebanese cuisine, but the main thing that differentiate Lebanese food from the others is the influence of those who have ruled this ancient land throughout its unique history.
For most of its past, Lebanon has been ruled by foreign powers that have influenced the types of food the Lebanese ate.
By far the biggest part in this magical cuisine certainly has the Ottoman influence. For more than 400 years, the Ottoman Empire ruled the territory of Lebanon and left a great stamp on food tastes. Olive oil, fresh bread, baklava, laban, lamb meat, stuffed vegetables and of course dark Turkish coffee are just some of the many unique flavors that define Lebanese cuisine to this day.
When the Ottomans were defeated in World War I, the French took over Lebanon, bringing with them a very different cultural cuisine. From 1914-1946 the French introduced some of their most widely eaten foods such as their well-known buttery croissants, a caramel custard dessert and of course their mouth-watering pastries.
The Lebanese themselves have also helped to bring foods of other cultures into their diet. Located between Europe, Africa and Asia, Lebanon had the enviable position of borrowing food inspiration from all three continents. During their travels and explorations to various countries, the Lebanese people brought back with them the best these three continents had to offer. The rice, chilli spices and many more are the foods which became important part of the Lebanese food.
Whilst Lebanese food has undergone many changes over the years it has always maintained a strong connection with its roots and historic influences. If you are looking to try one of the world’s healthiest and most delicious cuisines, you have come to the right place.

THOMAS GEORGE PALE ALE
BACKGROUND: Brewery manager, Bede Roe, discovered a historic beer recipe, originally brewed in Wellington in the 1920s, from which he developed Thomas George Pale Ale. Black Dog was approached to develop this new brand.
SOLUTION: A modern take on a vintage aesthetic – the artwork and brand assets acknowledge Wellington's rich history whilst maintaining a bold, contemporary feel:
Thomas George is illustrated against a gold background, signalling his transition from gold miner to brewmaster. Isobars, clouds and George's flailing tie create movement across the design – a nod to "Windy Welly's" famous weather.
Client: Bede Roe
Deliverables: Branding & illustration – beer label design, packaging design, beer coaster/mat design, t-shirt design.
Creative Director: James Sullivan
bottle cap design // Thomas George Beer
t-shirt design // beer coaster design
beer bottle design // beer label design
WHAT THEY SAID:
"I approached James to help recreate a heritage beer label. James embraced the concept and explored, designed and presented three very different routes for the beer label design before developing the final illustrations.
We wanted something different that looked classic as well as modern and would stand out against the big breweries and also the craft beer crowd. A tricky task that James smashed out of the park!"
- Bede Roe, Brewery Manager


Posting those pictures earlier and doing some digging with Juliette led me to searching for more Ginger pictures. I ended up with 37 pictures I had never seen before! Here are a few:
This was taken from a balcony at the entrance to the Cocoanut Grove, the site of the 1940 Oscars.
Ginger, Lela, and Walter Owns (Lela's dad and Ginger's grandpa) fighting over a sandwich on the set of "The Major and the Minor". Could this get cuter?

In today’s online world, it’s hard to even imagine a day without Facebook – but it didn’t simply appear out of nowhere.
Social media as we know it has been a long time coming, but where did it all begin? Let’s take a step into the past and discover social media from the start.
That’s right – social networking goes back as far as 1971. This was the year the very first email was sent. The two computers were set up alongside one another, and the email simply read ‘qwertyuiop’.
In 1978, the Bulletin Board System (BBS) was introduced. The system was hosted on personal computers through the use of a modem, dialled in via phone line.
This was the first time computer owners could interact with each other through the net. Although slow, it was a start!
Later in the year, the first official bulletin board was created – Usenet. Usenet was home to news, funny posts and articles – not dissimilar from the topics and memes we see today!
Usenet went on to inspire the ‘Groups’ features we see today on sites like Facebook and Yahoo.
The year 1988 welcomed Internet Relay Chat – the first instant messenger. It could be used for chat, links and file sharing, but was only accessible to those who used Unix.
Do you remember Geocities? It was the first social networking site, making it’s debut in 1994! Users could create their own web site, which was then grouped into a ‘city’ based on its content.
In 1997, one of the most successful instant messengers of all time was launched – AOL Instant Messenger. As well as chatting, members could create a bio and share their details, as well as being able to look up their friends.
AOL itself also hosted message boards and chat rooms which continued through the height of the company’s popularity.
Friendster was the first ‘high profile’ social networking site, reaching 3,000,000 users in its first three months.
Now for one we all knew and loved – MySpace came along in 2003. Although essentially a clone of Friendster to begin with, MySpace soon became the more popular site due to its freedom of customisation, music, videos and more – soon amassing over 90 million users!
Also, this year was the launch of LinkedIn – the first networked aimed at professionals that is still popular today.
2004 is when Facebook first entered the game. At the time, no-one knew just how successful the site would become.
Back then (known as TheFacebook), Facebook was only open to students at Harvard University – the school of the site’s creator Mark Zuckerberg.
After gaining traction, Facebook soon opened up to the general public and began to evolve. Today, it has over one billion users!
A lot has changed since then, with social media now part of most peoples’ day to day life. New networks are appearing all the time, many of which integrate with one another for a cross-platform experience.
Although we may not have covered absolutely every aspect of social media history, it’s no doubt interesting to take a look back and see how far we’ve come.
Do you remember any of these blasts from the past? When did you first get into social media? Tell us about your experiences with social networking in the comments! We’d love to hear your stories.


Fort Ruger was in the interior of Diamond Head. It was the first US Military reservation on Hawaii.
Some areas of Diamond Head were used to film the television show Lost.
The staircase has 74 steps.
The round-trip hike on Diamond head takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Who came up with the name Diamond Head? Way back during the 19th century, British sailors thought there were diamonds within the rocks. These so-called diamonds were actually calcite crystals.
Diamond Head is a volcanic tuff cone. It is about 150,000 years old.


Building, selling and repairing radios - that's how you make money. The economic pioneer Max Grundig relied on this idea and opened his first radio shop at Sternstrasse 4 in Fürth on November 15, 1930. In the beginning, the business thrived on repairs that Grundig carried out himself. This laid the foundation for the later Grundig works.
Manufacturing location in Fürth
The foundation stone is laid for a factory and administration building on Kurgartenstrasse in Fürth. After a short construction period, the site serves as the main production site.
“Heinzelmann” was a tremendous success
A building block on the way to becoming an electronics giant after the Second World War was the legendary “Heinzelmann” radio kit. Max Grundig particularly fondly remembers this important point in the company's history. Around 50,000 pieces were sold. “An enormous number for the time,” said Grundig happily in an interview in 1954.
The success of “Heinzelmann” is the basis for Grundig’s entrepreneurial success after 1945. In 1949 the 100,000th edition was already running. Radio off the tape. At the end of 1949, 1,600 people worked at Grundig (1960: 16,485; 1970: around 25,000). In the 1960s, Grundig became the largest radio and television manufacturer in Europe and the world's most important producer of tape recorders.
Climax and turning point
30 years after the "Heinzelmann", Grundig is the largest radio manufacturer in Europe: in Franconia alone, Grundig employs around 28,000 people, and across Europe there are well over 40,000. The 1980s also marked the turning point in the success story: Grundig unsuccessfully invested in the development of video systems and faced overwhelming competition from the Far East. Losses are increasing.
The revelation of Grundig's mobility DNA
Grundig supported the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup during the exciting 1990s. This underlines our ongoing commitment to the spirit of the movement.
Grundig's story continues
As our horizons expand, our core values remain unshakable. Our commitment to innovation, quality and timeless design continues our journey, from the heart of the home to the street. Join us on this journey as we power our lives through technology that evolves with you.
Welcome to Grundig, where innovation meets movement.


My question for you all is: Who are the two riders suffering in his wake and what year and race is this? Good Luck.
I did a little research. This almost has to be Stage 13 to the Ballon d'Alsace. Why you ask?
1979 was the first year that I ever saw the Tour, it was the first year MOST Americans had ever seen the Tour. It was also the first year the there was drug testing for steroid use. The first person to fail that test? Our Polka Dot Jersey wearer Giovanni Battaglin, oh my!
As a result Gio was docked 10mins and lost the KOM. Imagine that, all they did was dock him time and then allowed him to continue the race. At any rate, crazy as that is, this seems to indicate that this was the last Mt stage he would have been in the spotty jersey.

UPDATED: March 17, 2024
Men's fashion has come a long way over the years, evolving and adapting with every passing decade. From the iconic styles of the roaring 20s to the rebellious spirit of the 1960s, each era has left its mark on how men dress. In this article, we'll take a journey through time, exploring the defining fashion trends that have shaped men's style throughout history.
The Roaring 20s: The Birth of Modern Men's Fashion
When we think of the 1920s, a few images immediately come to mind – the glamour of the jazz age, the elegance of flapper girls, and the emergence of modern men's fashion. This era was all about breaking free from the constraints of the past, and the fashion reflected this newfound freedom.
The 1920s marked a significant shift in men's fashion, as societal norms loosened, and self-expression through clothing became more prevalent. Men embraced a more relaxed and casual approach to dressing, moving away from the stiff and formal attire of previous decades.
The Influence of Jazz and the Flapper Era
The roaring 20s were characterized by a desire for change and a shift towards a more carefree lifestyle. Jazz music swept the nation, inspiring a vibrant and energetic fashion scene. Men began to favor looser-fitting suits with wider legs and high-waisted trousers. This, coupled with the popularity of the Charleston dance and the rise of the speakeasies, created a fashion revolution.
The influence of the flapper era cannot be understated in shaping men's fashion during the 1920s. Flapper girls, known for their rebellious spirit and love for all things modern, pushed boundaries with their bold fashion choices. Men took note and started incorporating elements of this daring style into their own wardrobes, embracing a more daring and adventurous approach to dressing.
The Rise of the Three-Piece Suit
As the 1920s progressed, the three-piece suit became a staple in every man's wardrobe. Made famous by dapper gentlemen like the iconic Jay Gatsby, these suits featured wide lapels, contrasting fabrics, and bold patterns. The three-piece suit exuded sophistication and offered a stylish alternative to the more traditional styles of the past.
Men of the 1920s embraced a newfound sense of sartorial freedom, experimenting with colors, textures, and accessories to create unique and personalized looks. The three-piece suit, once reserved for formal occasions, became a versatile ensemble that could be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. This era marked a turning point in men's fashion, setting the stage for the modern styles we see today.
The 1930s: The Great Depression and Its Impact on Men's Fashion
The 1930s was a challenging period for America, with the Great Depression casting a shadow over the country. As people faced economic hardship, fashion took a more practical turn, reflecting the need for durability and functionality.
Despite the economic challenges of the era, the 1930s witnessed a remarkable evolution in men's fashion that mirrored the societal shifts of the time. The clothing industry adapted to the changing circumstances by focusing on creating garments that were not only stylish but also long-lasting and versatile.
The Shift Towards Practicality and Durability
During this time, men's fashion became more understated and subdued. Single-breasted suits with narrow lapels and minimalistic details were the norm. Fabrics were chosen for their durability, and muted colors like browns, grays, and blues dominated the scene. Comfort and practicality took precedence over extravagance.
In addition to the emphasis on practicality, the 1930s also saw a resurgence of interest in traditional craftsmanship. Tailors and designers paid meticulous attention to the construction of garments, ensuring that every piece was not only fashionable but also well-made. This focus on quality craftsmanship laid the foundation for the enduring appeal of classic menswear styles.
The Emergence of the Double-Breasted Suit
While practicality was essential, men still sought ways to stand out from the crowd. The double-breasted suit emerged as a symbol of prestige and elegance. Men embraced its bold, commanding silhouette, featuring wide peak lapels and padded shoulders. This style showcased a man's confidence and sartorial prowess.
The popularity of the double-breasted suit during the 1930s can be attributed to its ability to exude sophistication while maintaining a sense of practicality. The structured design of the suit not only accentuated the wearer's physique but also provided an air of authority and refinement. It became a staple in the wardrobes of well-dressed men who valued both style and substance.
The 1940s: War-Time Fashion and the Post-War Boom
The 1940s were marked by the chaos of World War II and its aftermath. As men went off to fight, fashion took a back seat to practicality. However, once the war ended, a new sense of optimism and celebration set the stage for a fashion revolution.
Despite the challenges of wartime, fashion continued to evolve, adapting to the needs and realities of the era. Women's clothing, in particular, saw a shift towards more utilitarian designs, with practical features such as pockets and adjustable closures becoming increasingly common. The iconic "Rosie the Riveter" look, with its durable overalls and bandanas, symbolized the strength and resilience of women on the home front.
Military Influence on Men's Clothing
During the war, uniforms played a significant role in shaping men's fashion. Military-inspired clothing, such as bomber jackets and cargo pants, made their way into civilian wardrobes. These functional garments not only provided comfort and durability but also gave a sense of patriotism and solidarity.
As men returned from the front lines, they brought with them a new perspective on style. The influence of military tailoring could be seen in the sharp lines and structured silhouettes of men's suits, reflecting a sense of discipline and order that resonated in a world recovering from the chaos of war.
The Introduction of Casual Wear
After the war, men embraced a more relaxed approach to fashion. The introduction of casual wear, including polo shirts, chinos, and loafers, allowed men to express themselves in a more laid-back manner. This shift reflected a desire for comfort and simplicity, mirroring the newfound peace and prosperity of the post-war era.
With the rise of leisure time and recreational activities, men sought clothing that was both stylish and functional. The popularity of Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts reflected a growing interest in travel and outdoor pursuits, as well as a desire to break free from the constraints of traditional attire. This era marked the beginning of a more diverse and inclusive approach to men's fashion, paving the way for the sartorial experimentation of the decades to come.
The 1950s: The Golden Age of Men's Fashion
The 1950s is often regarded as the golden age of men's fashion. With the war behind them, men eagerly embraced an era of prosperity and a renewed focus on style. Classic looks dominated the scene, representing timeless elegance and sophistication.
This era was not only defined by the fashion trends but also by the grooming standards that men adhered to. Slicked-back hair, clean-shaven faces, and polished shoes were essential components of a man's overall look. Attention to detail was key, with men taking pride in their appearance and grooming routines.
The Popularity of the Grey Flannel Suit
One of the iconic fashion trends of the 1950s was the grey flannel suit. Worn by business professionals and Hollywood stars alike, this versatile ensemble exuded sophistication and refinement. The grey flannel suit became a symbol of success and was favored for its versatility, allowing men to effortlessly transition from the office to social gatherings.
Accessories played a crucial role in completing the look of the grey flannel suit. Men often paired it with a fedora hat, leather briefcase, and a classic watch to add a touch of elegance and charm. The attention to detail in accessorizing showcased a man's sense of style and sophistication.
The Birth of Teen Fashion
In addition to the polished styles of the adults, the 1950s also saw the birth of teen fashion. Inspired by rebel icons like James Dean and Elvis Presley, young men embraced a more casual and rebellious look. Denim jeans, leather jackets, and white t-shirts paired with loafers or sneakers became the uniform of the cool teenage rebels.
This shift in fashion reflected the changing attitudes of the youth during the post-war period. Teenagers sought to break away from the traditional norms and express their individuality through their clothing choices. The emergence of teen fashion marked a significant cultural shift in the fashion landscape, paving the way for future generations to explore and redefine style boundaries.
The 1960s: The Decade of Change
The 1960s was a decade of immense social and cultural change, and the fashion of the time reflected this upheaval. Traditional norms were challenged, giving way to new and daring styles that pushed boundaries.
This era was not only defined by its fashion revolution but also by its significant political and social movements. The civil rights movement, the anti-war protests, and the fight for gender equality all played a crucial role in shaping the spirit of the 1960s. These movements inspired a sense of activism and empowerment that transcended into the world of fashion, influencing designers to create pieces that made bold statements and challenged the status quo.
The Influence of the British Invasion
The arrival of British bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones had a profound impact on men's fashion. The clean-cut looks of the 1950s were swiftly replaced by a more experimental and free-spirited approach. The mod style, characterized by tailored suits, slim-fitting shirts, and Chelsea boots, took center stage.
British musicians not only brought a new sound to the American music scene but also introduced a fresh aesthetic that captivated the youth culture. The fusion of British and American styles gave birth to a unique blend of sophistication and rebellion, setting the tone for a decade of sartorial innovation and self-expression.
The Rise of Counter-Culture Styles
The 1960s also saw the rise of counter-culture movements, such as the hippie and bohemian styles. Men embraced colorful patterns, flowing fabrics, and unconventional accessories. This anti-establishment fashion represented a rejection of societal norms and a celebration of individuality and freedom.
Hippie fashion, in particular, became a symbol of peace, love, and unity. Tie-dye shirts, bell-bottom pants, and fringe jackets became staples in the wardrobes of those who sought to challenge mainstream ideology through their clothing choices. The bohemian look, with its focus on natural materials and eclectic patterns, offered a bohemian lifestyle that embraced creativity and nonconformity.
The 1970s: The Era of Disco and Punk
The 1970s witnessed the clash of different subcultures, with disco and punk emerging as dominant forces. Fashion became a means of self-expression, allowing men to align themselves with their chosen musical tribe.
As the decade unfolded, the cultural landscape was transformed by the pulsating beats of disco music and the raw energy of punk rock. These musical genres not only provided a soundtrack for the era but also influenced every aspect of society, including men's fashion. The dichotomy between the glitzy, glamorous world of disco and the gritty, rebellious ethos of punk created a dynamic tension that played out in the clothing choices of men across the globe.
The Impact of Music on Men's Fashion
Disco fever swept the nation, influencing men's fashion with its flamboyant and hedonistic style. Bright colors, wide lapels, and exaggerated collars became the hallmark of disco fashion. Men embraced form-fitting shirts, bell-bottom pants, and platform shoes, channeling the suave sophistication of icons like John Travolta in "Saturday Night Fever." In contrast, the punk movement rebelled against the mainstream, embracing ripped jeans, leather jackets, and safety pins as symbols of their nonconformity. The DIY ethos of punk fashion encouraged men to customize their clothing, expressing their individuality through patches, studs, and unconventional accessories.
The Emergence of Designer Jeans
The 1970s also saw the emergence of designer jeans as a fashion staple. Previously seen as workwear, jeans quickly became fashionable and sought after. Brands like Levi's and Calvin Klein embraced this trend, offering various cuts and styles to cater to different tastes. Designer jeans became a symbol of casual chic, blurring the lines between high fashion and everyday attire. Men embraced the versatility and durability of denim, incorporating it into their wardrobes in innovative ways. From flared jeans to straight-leg cuts, denim became a canvas for self-expression, reflecting the shifting attitudes towards fashion and masculinity in the 1970s.
The 1980s: The Age of Excess
The 1980s was a decade characterized by excess and extravagance. Corporate culture reached its peak, influencing men's fashion with its power-driven aesthetic. The era was defined by bold choices and a larger-than-life attitude that transcended into every aspect of society, from fashion to music and beyond.
The Power Suit Phenomenon
The 1980s were all about power dressing. Men's fashion became synonymous with sharp, tailored suits in bold colors such as navy blue and charcoal gray. Shoulder pads added an extra boost of confidence, while wide ties and statement accessories completed the power suit ensemble. This bold style represented success and ambition. The power suit was not just an outfit; it was a symbol of authority and influence, worn by businessmen and celebrities alike to convey strength and dominance in a competitive world.
The Casual Friday Movement
While power suits dominated the weekdays, casual wear started to gain traction with the introduction of Casual Friday. This trend allowed men to dress down comfortably in the office, opting for polo shirts, khakis, and loafers. Casual Friday became a welcome respite from the formalities of the rest of the week. It was a chance for individuals to showcase their personal style and creativity in a more relaxed setting, breaking away from the rigid expectations of traditional corporate attire.
As the 1980s progressed, fashion trends continued to evolve, reflecting the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of the era. From the rise of iconic pop culture figures like Madonna and Michael Jackson to the emergence of innovative technologies like the personal computer, the decade was a melting pot of influences that shaped not only the way people dressed but also how they perceived themselves and the world around them.
The 1990s: The Decade of Anti-Fashion
The 1990s was a decade defined by rebellion against traditional fashion norms. Anti-fashion movements and subcultures set the stage for a fashion revolution.
As the 1990s progressed, the anti-fashion sentiment continued to grow, with individuals seeking to express their individuality and reject mainstream trends. This era saw a rise in DIY fashion, with people customizing their clothing to reflect their unique personalities. From hand-painted jackets to homemade accessories, self-expression through fashion became a powerful form of rebellion.
The Grunge Movement and Its Influence
Grunge fashion emerged as a response to the polished and glitzy styles of the 1980s. Inspired by the music of bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, men embraced a more relaxed and alternative look. Distressed denim, flannel shirts, and combat boots became the uniform of the grunge movement, challenging societal beauty ideals.
One of the defining characteristics of grunge fashion was its emphasis on comfort and practicality over glamour. The unkempt appearance and mismatched layers of clothing represented a rejection of the fashion industry's emphasis on perfection and luxury. This raw and unrefined aesthetic resonated with a generation disillusioned by materialism and excess.
The Rise of Streetwear
In urban areas, streetwear gained popularity among young men. Influenced by hip-hop culture and brands like FUBU and Phat Farm, streetwear represented a fusion of sportswear and casual fashion. Oversized t-shirts, baggy jeans, and sneakers became the epitome of cool and laid-back style.
Streetwear not only revolutionized fashion but also blurred the lines between high and low culture. The appropriation of elements from skateboard culture and graffiti art into mainstream fashion challenged traditional notions of what constituted "acceptable" clothing. This democratization of style allowed individuals from diverse backgrounds to participate in shaping the cultural landscape through their fashion choices.
The 2000s: The New Millennium's Fashion Trends
As the new millennium began, men's fashion entered a more eclectic phase, influenced by a combination of past trends and emerging styles.
The 2000s were a time of sartorial experimentation and boundary-pushing in men's fashion. Alongside the resurgence of classic styles, there was a notable influx of bold and daring choices that challenged traditional norms. This juxtaposition of old and new created a dynamic and diverse fashion landscape that catered to a wide range of tastes and preferences.
The Return of the Suit
After years of casual attire dominating the scene, the suit made a comeback in the 2000s. Slimmer silhouettes, fitted shirts, and narrower lapels redefined the classic suit. Men embraced this refined and contemporary look, elevating the suit to a symbol of modern elegance.
Furthermore, the revival of the suit in the 2000s was not limited to traditional colors and fabrics. Designers began experimenting with unconventional patterns, textures, and colors, injecting a sense of playfulness and individuality into this timeless garment. This modern twist on a classic piece reflected the evolving attitudes towards menswear and the desire for self-expression through clothing.
The Influence of Hip-Hop Culture
Hip-hop culture continued to shape men's fashion in the early 2000s. Rappers like Jay-Z and Kanye West brought a new level of sophistication to streetwear, incorporating luxury brands and tailored pieces into their wardrobes. This fusion of high fashion and urban style created a unique and influential trend.
Moreover, the impact of hip-hop culture extended beyond clothing choices; it influenced grooming trends, accessory preferences, and even the way men carried themselves. The emphasis on confidence, individuality, and self-assuredness that permeated hip-hop culture had a profound effect on the way men approached fashion and style in the 2000s. This era marked a shift towards a more inclusive and diverse representation of masculinity in the fashion industry, breaking away from traditional stereotypes and embracing a broader spectrum of identities.
The 2010s: The Decade of Individualism
In the era of social media and constant connectivity, men's fashion became more diverse and individualistic than ever before. Personal style took center stage, and self-expression became a driving force.
The Impact of Social Media on Men's Fashion
With the rise of platforms like Instagram and YouTube, men had more access to fashion inspiration and style influencers. This led to a greater emphasis on personal style and experimentation. Men started to mix patterns, combine different genres of fashion, and embrace unisex clothing, blurring traditional gender boundaries.
The Rise of Athleisure
The 2010s also saw the rise of athleisure – a combination of athletic and leisurewear. Men embraced the comfort and functionality of athletic apparel, incorporating it into their everyday fashion. Joggers, sneakers, and performance fabrics became the go-to choice for both casual and dressed-up looks.
As we reflect on the evolution of men's fashion, it's clear that style is a powerful form of self-expression. From the glamourous jazz age to the rebellious grunge movement to the individualistic trends of today, men have always found ways to leave their mark on the world through the clothes they wear. So go ahead, embrace your personal style and let your fashion journey continue to evolve with each passing decade.

Dr. John Gorrie changed the world with his invention, but many people have never heard of him. After taking the Hippocratic Oath, he vowed to do what no other physician of his day had done: cure malaria and yellow fever. Realizing that temperature affected how likely epidemics would occur, Dr. Gorrie set off on his journey that would bring medicine—and the world—into the future. With little money and even less public support, Dr. Gorrie became a well-known face in the South, producing artificial ice in the dead of summer. Once big corporations took over operations, Dr. Gorrie’s new ice machine was making more ice than ever before, and people started to take notice everywhere. Though, Dr. Gorrie’s legacy didn’t end there; he’d start applying his technology in his medical practice, leading to the increased comfort and overall health of countless diseased victims suffering from the fevers, as tropical diseases were then called. Today, Dr. Gorrie’s artificial ice has changed lives and made modern convenience possible. Although he’s still underrated in the media, his life and legacy live on through various medical journals, memorials, statues, and people who are passionate about his contribution to the world. It’s definitely not far fetched to say that Dr. Gorrie really left his mark.
Linda Caldwell has transformed a nearly forgotten slice of American history into an informative told tale. This well documented and historic account of an overlooked man and his discovery is a tribute to Dr. Gorrie. If you are looking for a better understanding of the historic roots of this important invention and its impact on our world today, you must read this book. --Toni C. Collins, Florida Historic Researcher, and Author

World Square - Sydney CBD
Gazzi (Greek for 'gas') near Athens was formerly a massive gas works site that transformed into a thriving little retail hub. It gained popularity in recent years namely for its eclectic mix of cafes, bars and restaurants. The historical industrial setting, now embellished with designer stores, graffiti art, food hot spots and travellers, became the primary thrust of the interior concept. The use of pipes and steel refers to the town's industrial history and contrast, natural finishes such as timber and greenery speak about the return of life. We also created the logo/brand identity.


Fontainebleau is a unique castle – very large, built and rebuilt in different times, it is a veritable patchwork of architectural styles and different eras that have profoundly marked the history of France. Walking through the castle is like walking to a set of time capsules, each of them representing a certain era, connected to a historically significant individual – most of French history condensed in one site. Also, the forest and the gardens are worthy of admiration in their own right.
Emerging from France's catastrophic 1940 defeat like a bedraggled and rather sinister phoenix, the French State – better known to history as Vichy France or the Vichy Regime after its spa-town capital, stands in history as a unique and bizarre creation of German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler's European conquests. A patchwork of paradoxes and contradictions, the Vichy Regime maintained a quasi-independent French nation for some time after the Third Reich invasion until the Germans decided to include it in their occupation zone. Headed by a French war hero of World War I, Marshal Philippe Petain, and his later Prime Minister Pierre Laval, Vichy France displayed strong right-wing, conservative, and authoritarian tendencies. Nevertheless, it never lapsed fully into fascism until the Germans arrived to reduce its role to little more than a mask over their own dominion. Petain carried out several major initiatives in an effort to counteract the alleged decadence of modern life and to restore the strength and virtues of the French "race". Accordingly, he received willing support from more conservative elements of society, even some factions within the Catholic Church. Following Case Anton - the takeover of the unoccupied area by the Germans - native French fascist elements also emerged. While the French later disowned the Vichy government with considerable vehemence, evidence such as fairly broad-based popular support prior to Case Anton suggests a somewhat different story. The Petain government expressed one facet of French culture and thought. Its conservative, imperialistic nature did not represent the widespread love of "liberty, fraternity, and equality" also deeply ingrained in French thinking, but neither did it constitute a complete divergence from a national history that produced such famous authoritarians as Louis XIV and Napoleon Bonaparte. 1.

“You are charged with one of the most difficult and disagreeable tasks that a British admiral has ever been faced with. But we have complete confidence in you and rely on you to carry it out relentlessly.” (Prime Minister Winston Churchill) “90% of senior naval officers, including myself, thought [Operation Catapult] a ghastly error and still do.” (Royal Navy Admiral Andrew Cunningham, 1950) Emerging from France's catastrophic 1940 defeat like a bedraggled and rather sinister phoenix, the French State – better known to history as “Vichy France” or the “Vichy Regime” after its spa-town capital – stands in history as a unique and bizarre creation of German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler's European conquests. A patchwork of paradoxes and contradictions, the Vichy Regime maintained a quasi-independent French nation for some time after the Third Reich invasion until the Germans decided to include it in their occupation zone. While the French later disowned the Vichy government with considerable vehemence, evidence such as fairly broad-based popular support prior to Case Anton suggests a somewhat different story. Of course, this precarious position left Britain in the unenviable position of figuring out what to do with its once erstwhile ally. France is seldom deemed a maritime power, yet during World War I and in the interwar period, the French Navy developed into a relatively powerful fighting force. While it could not rival the British, American, or Japanese forces, it represented one of the medium-sized naval powers like Germany or Italy. As such, the French Navy would have an interesting role to play in the development of the Vichy state during World War II. While the Third Reich naturally cast covetous eyes at the powerful French naval vessels in the hands of their ostensible Vichy ally, they proved content to see those ships remain neutral for several years after their victory in Western Europe. Only when the French changed their alle 1. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Norman. Audio sample: http://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/112869/bk_acx0_112869_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
Today, the British Army is one of the most powerful fighting forces in the world. Its highly trained professional soldiers are equipped with the most advanced military technology ever made. Its international interventions, while controversial both at home and abroad, are carried out with incredible professionalism and little loss of life among British servicemen and servicewomen. Naturally, the history and traditions behind this army are also impressive. Britain has not been successfully invaded in centuries. Its soldiers once created and defended a global empire, and during the Second World War, it was one of the leading nations standing against the brutal Axis forces, leading the way in the greatest seaborne invasion in military history. But it was not always like this. For most of its history, Britain was a patchwork of competing nations. England, the largest of its constituent countries, was often relatively weak as a land power compared with its European neighbors. Moreover, Britain’s armies, like those of the other European powers, were neither professional nor standing armies for hundreds of years. The 18th century was a tumultuous period for the British army, one often overlooked in popular accounts of British history. It began with the formal unification of Britain - a period of great success for the nation's armies - led by one of Britain's greatest generals, the Duke of Marlborough. This was followed by a period of global activity and military reform as the British Empire expanded. In the wake of the French Revolution, other European powers were eager to suppress the revolutionary example before it spread to their nations, and to capitalize on France's turmoil to their advantage. Encouraged by exiled French aristocrats, they went to war to restore the old France, only for the resulting wars to make France more powerful than it had ever been. Under Napoleon, the nation's armies took control of the Iberian and Italian Peninsulas, as 1. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

The Wall Street Journal's award-winning business reporter unveils the bizarre and sinister story of how a math genius named Tom Hayes, a handful of outrageous confederates, and a deeply corrupt banking system ignited one of the greatest financial scandals in history. In 2006, an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers from some of the world's largest financial institutions made a startling realization: Libor - the London interbank offered rate, which determines the interest rates on trillions in loans worldwide - was set daily by a small group of easily manipulated functionaries, and that they could reap huge profits by nudging it to suit their trading portfolios. Tom Hayes, a brilliant but troubled mathematician, became the lynchpin of a wild alliance that among others included a French trader nicknamed "Gollum"; the broker "Abbo", who liked to publicly strip naked when drinking; a Kazakh chicken farmer turned something short of financial whiz kid; a broker known as "Village" (short for "Village Idiot") and fascinated with human-animal sex; an executive called "Clumpy" because of his patchwork hair loss; and a broker uncreatively nicknamed "Big Nose". Eventually known as the "Spider Network", Hayes's circle generated untold riches - until it all unraveled in spectacularly vicious, backstabbing fashion. The Spider Network is not only a rollicking account of the scam, but a provocative examination of a financial system that was crooked throughout, designed to promote envelope-pushing behavior while shielding higher-ups from the consequences of their subordinates' rapacious actions. 1.

In the fall of 2008, 15 of the world's leading economists - representing the broadest spectrum of economic opinion - gathered at New Hampshire's Squam Lake. Their goal: the mapping of a long-term plan for financial regulation reform.The Squam Lake Report distills the wealth of insights from the ongoing collaboration that began at these meetings and provides a revelatory, unified, and coherent voice for fixing our troubled and damaged financial markets. As an alternative to the patchwork solutions and ideologically charged proposals that have dominated other discussions, the Squam Lake group sets forth a clear nonpartisan plan of action to transform the regulation of financial markets - not just for the current climate - but for generations to come. They look at the critical holes in the existing regulatory framework for handling complex financial institutions, retirement savings, and credit-default swaps. They offer ideas for new financial instruments designed to recapitalize banks without burdening taxpayers. To lower the risk that large banks will fail, the authors call for higher capital requirements as well as a systemic regulator who is part of the central bank. They collectively analyze where the financial system has failed, and how these weak points should be overhauled.Combining an immense depth of academic, private sector, and public policy experience, The Squam Lake Report contains urgent recommendations that will positively influence everyone's financial well-being - all who care about the world's economic health need to pay attention.Contributors include Kenneth R.

The former military hospital should be an extension of the Intercontinental Museum of Slavery. The United Docks building in Trou Fanfaron will also house the museum’s main facilities. This is the compromise reached at the meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Xavier-Luc Duval and the leaders of the slavery museum project, Vijaya Teelock and Jimmy Harmon, on Tuesday.
At this meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister maintained his position taken at the Internasional Kreol Festival on 17 November. He had announced that the Museum of Slavery would be located on United Docks grounds, next to the Aapravasi Ghat in Port Louis. An announcement that raised some protests from those who thought that this museum should be on the site of the former military hospital.
However, according to our cross-references, the steps taken between the inter-ministerial committee in charge of the file – chaired by Xavier-Luc Duval – and the former owners of the United Docks site are at an advanced stage. No way to go back. This site would have cost the State a land of nearly one hectare in the port area. Land which would be worth Rs 53 million and which was originally intended for the Binani Cement Group of India.
However, to decant the situation, the Deputy Prime Minister would have proposed that the building of the former military hospital be an extension of the museum. The project would not have declined. The site of the military hospital would be devoted to the various diseases and epidemics that prevailed during the period of slavery. Built in 1740 by slaves and laborers from Pondicherry, the former military hospital is the oldest building in Port Louis still standing. A site which, according to some historians, deserves to be saved, just for its historical character.

GRS is the only Reform synagogue in Scotland and is one of the oldest continuous congregations in the local Jewish community.
Originally named the Glasgow Progressive Synagogue, this was later changed to the Glasgow New Synagogue. The current name was adopted in 2014.
The synagogue was founded in 1933 by Samuel Ginsburg, a Glasgow printer who decided to set up his own synagogue following an argument about the cost of his son’s Bar Mitzvah. By 1934 Mr Ginsberg’s Reform congregants were meeting in various halls and homes for services and the movement’s first synagogue established at 39 Queen Square, Strathbungo in 1936.
Rabbi Joseph Levine became the first minister at the synagogue, when it was was consecrated. Rabbi Levine was succeeded in 1937 by Rabbi Halevi Barron, who stayed until 1939 – but before he left, the congregation moved to a fine stone-built, double-fronted mansion on Albert Road, Crosshill.
The Rev S. Mendoza came from London to act as rabbi during the early war years when women members were also beginning to play an ever more active role in synagogue. Rabbi C. E. Cassell was the minister of the synagogue, first as a visiting rabbi in 1943, and then as full-time resident minister in 1945.
By 1947, services were held in Langside halls because due to the poor state of the Albert Road building and a lack of funds. In 1950, the Glasgow New Synagogue opened its doors at 306 Albert Drive, Pollokshields (see photos) and the congregation began to grow. However, by 1964 the building was in need of structural repairs; it was decided that it was time to look for another building and the premises at Ayr Road–a listed, former municipal building–was purchased. The congregation took possession on July 3, 1968. In 2002 the building was fully refurbished.
Rabbi Nigel Atkins served the GRS community from 1961 until 1967, then—following a period in Israel—returned to GRS as Rabbi Hillel Avidan from 1970 until June 1974.
Rabbi Sion David led the congregation between 1967 and 1970 following his ordination from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati Ohio.
Rabbi Simon Franses was rabbi at GRS between 1974 and 1987, followed by a period where we were supported by several student rabbis. In September 1990 Rabbi David Kunin joined us, remaining until 1995, when Rabbi Pete Tobias arrived and was in post until 2003.
Rabbi Nancy Morris, the first female rabbi in Scotland, was our rabbi between 2003 and 2011 and Rabbi Kate Briggs served the community during the the period 2014 to 2016.
This short of history of Glasgow Reform Synagogue is based on the very considerable research of Miriam ‘Mamie’ Shenkin and Lilah Newman.


In many ways, the 1950s was a period of both modernity and history. During World War II while the men were overseas, women back home gain a degree of personal and economic independence that was rarely seen before the war. They left their homes to work in offices and factories, earning and managing their own money. By 1950, the men had returned home from the war and their jobs, so women also returned to their homes as wives, mothers, and homemakers. There was a migration to newly-built suburbs where life was supposed to be picture-perfect and traditional. Society became very conservative, and there was a rise in affluence. With old routines back in play, former fashion trends also returned. But with all old comes something new. In this post, we will take a look at all the biggest women’s fashion trends of the 1950s and how they’re returned to designer’s collections today.
Women had become a custom to their independence — both in work and in fashion - and weren’t going to give it up completely. After the hardships of the war, people were ready for a change. Although the new clothes used excessive amounts of fabric, needed constant maintenance, and required a complete coordinated accessory collection to be “perfect,” by the start of the ‘50s, everyone was wearing the New Look. The New Look: The full look of the 1950s was mature, glamorous and very put-together. Dresses, skirts, and undergarments were constricting, but a wide range of new ‘leisure clothes’ allowed people to dress casually at home. Women were expected to be impeccably dressed and groomed in public or when their spouse was home, always with coordinating hats, shoes, bags, belts, gloves, and jewelry. In privacy, women dressed much simpler, more comfortable. Eventually, the new sense of freedom allowed women to dress more casually in public as well.
Fabrics used for evening wear were luxurious with velvet, tulle, silk, and satin being the most popular. Cotton and wool were the choice for daywear along with new synthetic fabrics. Polyester and rayon were used for all kinds of clothing, from blouses and men’s shirts to dresses and suits. Nylon and elastic, conserved for the war effort, began to be used for a wide variety of clothing, especially undergarments. These fabrics were made into delicate underwear, nightgowns, and stockings. Nylon did such a good job of replacing silk stockings that they’ve been known ever since as simply ‘nylons.’ These new synthetic fabrics were seen as ‘miracle fabrics.’ They could be washed and dried easily, didn’t need to be ironed and didn’t shrink.
Few designers chose to break from the New Look model, but a couple paved the way. Coco Chanel hated the New Look so much that she reopened her business after closing it at the start of the war. In 1954, she came back with slim suits – the brand’s signature look – in wools and tweeds. Jackets were boxy with no collar, and skirts were straight and comfortable. She topped the look off with costume jewelry and the famous quilted bag.
In 1947 Christian Dior, Chanel’s rival permanently changed the fashion industry and created the look that would dominate the next decade. Named the ‘New Look’ by Harper’s Bazaar editor Carmel Snow, Dior’s first fashion collection, shown in Paris, was the exact opposite of the ‘40s look. The fabric was luxurious and voluminous. Shoulders were soft instead of squared, the figure was hourglass instead of boxy, and the short, straight skirt of the ration-happy ‘40s was replaced by a huge, billowing one that hit at mid-calf. There were also skirts that were so slim and fitted that women found it hard to walk. Bodices were extremely tight so that a woman could accentuate her tiny waist. In many ways, the New Look was reminiscent of styles from the mid-nineteenth century.
The New Look lasted throughout the 1950s, but the high-maintenance lifestyle eventually gave way to the rebellious culture in the ‘60s. Teenagers wanted to be individuals who didn’t look like their parents, and their mothers were ready to break free again. Fads were short-lived and garments were cheaply made. Clothing wasn’t constrictive anymore and was looser and much shorter. The flowing hippie look and the graphic mini-skirt gave women new choices and a way to express themselves.
Runways and the odd celeb showing have confirmed the '50s are back in fashion. Designers including Balenciaga, Carolina Herrera, Alexander McQueen, and Calvin Klein have helped to kickstart the revival, sending hand-embroidered fit-and-flares, cropped sweaters, and polka dotted and checkered numbers down the runway. Mid-century trends were about showcasing a tiny waist and then throwing out the skirt shape to accentuate the hips. '50s dresses were often printed, knee-length and came with halterneck, shirt-button or square necklines, made to show off a bit of collar-bone. Tea length swing dresses with petticoats for fullness and slim sheath dresses are two popular styles you could be sure to see throughout this decade. These trends have now been seen spotted both on the runway and within everyday street-style looks indicated the styles from the ’50s have returned.
The 1950s also saw the rise of the poodle skirt. Often in pink or powder blue, poodle skirts were swing skirts made to flare out around the knees. Current designers, including Calvin Klein, focus more on solid colours and fanciful pleats. Poodle skirts were predominantly worn by teens and pencil or circle skirts were favored amongst more mature women.
In recent times we have welcomed the return of the cardigan with open arms. But that iteration of the knitted staple—most often in a longer shape, with a slightly slouchy feel to them—is a step away from the '50s blueprint. Now, the cardigans are back to their original fine form: cropped, bright, and worn charmingly about the shoulders.
Kitten heels have been spotted on the catwalks for the past few seasons. When the most influential designers of the moment agree on a trend, you can be sure everyone else will follow. The kitten heel was introduced as a “training shoe” for younger women. The short, slender heel is around 1.5 inches tall, and the shoe helped young ladies transition from flats to high heels. The practical style became a hit with women of all ages and became an iconic style thanks to Audrey Hepburn. The classic kitten heel has been a wardrobe staple for many women. It pairs perfectly with either a little black dress or a pair of jeans. (Capri pants and high waisted jeans were the most worn form of pants for women during the ’50s.) Kitten heels are ideal for women who need to look elegant while spending long days on their feet. The new version has a fresher, more modern look. New cuts and proportions make today’s kitten heel look less like a throwback and more like fashion.
Cat eye glasses first began to trend in the 1950s, worn by style icons such as Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor. The glasses were primarily small, slick and angular. Although, the most stylish women of the era also dabbled with the larger and rounder variety. In today’s society, cat-eyed glasses are worn by all demographics of women and come in a variety of fun colours. They can either be worn as a bold, fashion statement or as a form of feminine elegance that reflects the loved styles of the past.
When the summer heat hits at full force, people everywhere flock to the water to cool off and enjoy the sun. While the tendency to swim in the waves when it gets hot outside is not unique to a given time or people, what we wear (or don’t!) is. From full-on dresses to strappy bikinis, women’s swimwear has seen it all. Although there was no shortage of swimwear to choose from - ballerina, empire waist, baby doll, bubble, and princes - the bikini make a strong debut.
Although the actual style of the bikini wasn’t that different from its cousin one-piecers, some skin on the upper stomach was allowed to peek through. The bikini has been a favorite amongst young women for decades. The 1950’s bathing suit also inspired the return of the one-piece suit’s popularity. The two-piece high waist bikini comes in at a close second. Solid colors (red), as well as polka dots, are always best sellers among retro swimwear fans. Vintage style swimsuits with ruching are some of the most body-flattering designs you can wear today.
Polka dots were not only popular amongst swimwear. The pattern has been around since the mid 19th century but didn’t boom in popularity until the 1950s. You could find an array of objects and clothing in the now familiar polka dot print including dinnerware, accessories, dresses, skirts, swimwear, toys, curtains, pop art, and much more. French designers Christian Dior, Pierre Balmain, Mme Gres, and Jacques Fath were all dominant influences on post-war haute couture fashion and incorporating the popular pattern into all aspects of women’s clothing. Polka dots have recently returned in popularity amongst the runways and are particularly seen throughout the summer season as a fun and bold print, perfect for all women and all occasions.
While some may view 1950’s fashion as a set back in the freedom women had gained, the trends and styles had a prominent impact on the culture and continue to inspire designers across the world today. Comment below which fashion trend from this decade is your favorite and if you have a particular decade from the 20th century that you admire the designs the most.


Crossville is located at 35°57'15"N 85°1'53"W (35.954221, -85.031267).

Several small lakes are located on the outskirts of Crossville, including Lake Tansi to the south, Lake Holiday to the west, and Byrd Lake at nearby Cumberland Mountain State Park. The average elevation of Crossville is approximately 1,890 feet (576 m) above sea level.
Crossville developed at the intersection of two major stage roads by which settlers moved through the area. The roads were gradually widened, improved and turned into paved roads. Two major federal highways: U.S. Route 70, which traverses Tennessee from east to west, and U.S. Route 127, which traverses Tennessee from north to south, now roughly follow the old routes. Interstate 40, which runs roughly parallel to US-70, passes through the northern part of Crossville. Crossville is approximately 30 miles (48 km) east of Cookeville, 70 miles (110 km) north of Chattanooga and 70 miles (110 km) west of Knoxville.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 15.1 square miles (39 km²), of which, 14.7 square miles (38 km²) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km²) of it (2.32%) is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 8,981 people, 3,795 households, and 2,440 families residing in the city. The population density was 609.2 people per square mile (235.2/km²). There were 4,268 housing units at an average density of 289.5 per square mile (111.8/km²).

- Crossville developed at the intersection of a branch of the Great Stage Road, which connected the Knoxville area with the Nashville area, and the Kentucky Stock Road, a cattle drovers' path connecting Middle Tennessee with Kentucky and later extending to Chattanooga. These two roads are roughly paralleled by modern US-70 and US-127, respectively.
- Around 1800, an early European-American settler named Samuel Lambeth opened a store at this junction, and the small community that developed around it became known as Lambeth's Crossroads. The store was located at what has become the modern intersection of Main Street and Stanley Street, just south of the courthouse. By the time a post office was established in the 1830s, the community had taken the name of "Crossville." In the early 1850s, James Scott, a merchant from nearby Sparta, purchased the Lambeth store and renamed it Scott's Tavern.
- When Cumberland County was formed in 1856, Crossville, being nearest the center of the county, was chosen as county seat. Scott donated the initial 40 acres (160,000 m2) for the erection of a courthouse and town square.
- Crossville and Cumberland County suffered rampant pillaging throughout the Civil War as the well-developed roads made the area accessible to both occupying Union and Confederate forces and bands of renegade guerrillas. With divided communities and families, there was vicious guerrilla warfare, and residents suffered as if there were major battles in the area. The county was divided throughout the conflict, sending a roughly equal number of troops to both sides.
- After World War I, US 40 helped connect the town and area to markets for its produce and goods. Additional highways built after World War II improved transportation in the region.
- During the Great Depression, the federal government's Subsistence Homestead Division initiated a housing project south of Crossville known as the Cumberland Homesteads. The project's purpose was to provide small farms for several hundred impoverished families. The project's recreational area would later become the nucleus for Cumberland Mountain State Park.

The City of Ouray was named after Chief Ouray of the Ute Indian Tribe. The chief was known for his leadership abilities, attempting to secure a treaty with the U.S. Government that would allow the Uncompahgre Band of Utes to stay in Colorado after an Ute uprising elsewhere in the state. Ultimately, the Utes were forced out of Colorado to present-day reservations in Utah. The majestic San Juan Mountains that were once valuable hunting grounds to the Ute Indians became home to a new group, the rugged and hardy miners of the North American Gold Rush.
Chief Ouray is believed to have been born on November 13, 1833 during the Leonid meteor showers. He was given the name Ouray meaning "Arrow" in reference to the display of lights streaking across the sky.
As a tribute to the chief and his tribe, each runner who completes the Ouray 100 within the 52-hour time limit will receive a 6" oversized belt buckle depicting the meteor shower on the night of Chief Ouray's birth.
