    Forcing Bulbs to Bloom in Winter A wonderful way to bring a bit of spring into your home In the dead of winter, spring blooming bulbs are especially welcome in the house. They fill any room with lively color (and maybe scent) and remind us that spring is just around the corner. Narcissus Forcing Narcissus in Water: • Place bulbs in a shallow bowl filled with gravel; mound gravel around sides of bulbs. • Add water so it barely touches bulbs. • Place bowl in a cool, dark location. • When roots start to grow, keep water below bulbs. • When top growth grows, move bowl to bright light but out of direct sunlight. • Bulbs bloom in about 6 weeks. Narcissus also grow well in vases with just water. Bulbs should be firm, without soft spots or scars. Bulbs with two "noses", or tips, will produce two stems. Forcing Narcissus in Soil: • Choose a wide pot about 6” deep with drainage holes in the bottom. Fill the pot loosely with potting mix. Set bulbs side by side, close but not touching, pointed end up, so that the tips are even with the pot rim. Do not press the bulbs into the mix. It should be loose to allow the roots to grow through it easily. Cover with additional potting mix, so the noses are barely covered. • Water thoroughly and empty drainage tray. • Daffodils need a cold treatment for 8-10 weeks. If you pre-chilled bulbs, you can skip this step. Move pot to a dark, cool (40-45°F) location such as a basement, unheated garage or refrigerator.

Not just the dream, but also the struggle to make those visions real— to voice the words and feelings that no one else can— quickly becomes more tiring and frustrating than life itself. Compared to the size of the whole, the simple goal of being published in this unknown, student-run maga­ zine is but a small accomplishment. This becomes obvious, as this book may eventually (and most likely will) pass from your hand, the reader’s, to the ground, or a trashcan, or— if we’re lucky— tossed out of a third-story dorm window. But the Grimoire is more than just a magazine— it’s a monument on which is carved the legacy of hundreds of students.

    MEDIA KIT 2017/18 Welcome to the inner circle of DWP There is no better way to reflect on the year passing us by and celebrate the start of a new one, quite like the kick-off of an impossible-to-resist portal to all things luxe and beautiful. The launch of the DWP - Insider editorial portfolio is exactly that. I find myself diving into the fascinating dynamics of two luxury industries, that rake in billions of dollars a year- weddings and travel. If you've found yourself staring down the barrel of done- and-dusted wedding trends, filled with nothing but aspirations to be innovative and different, then we've got your back. We have worked hard to create a platform that hand-picks the best in the business, scouting the most coveted frontrunners to become a ‘go-to’ journal for not only the bride and groom, but the entire bridal squad and all high-life aficionados. This inevitable next step in the Destination Wedding Planner Congress journey, takes an in- depth approach to the glamorous side of the luxury wedding industry - the elite ceremonies, the opulent jewelry and couture, and that of lavish destinations and their unique décor, food and wellness offerings. With each digital post and each bi-annual issue, we reveal the jewels in this season’s bridal crown– all perfectly bound in a must-have journal, that aims to connect partners and advertisers with select clientele; and enrich the reader culturally.

  • Veiling in Early Modern Europe by Susanna Burghartz (Translated by Jane Caplan)
    ARTICLES Covered Women? Veiling in Early Modern Europe by Susanna Burghartz (translated by Jane Caplan) The veil and the headscarf have become deeply controversial signifiers of identity in recent years. In a conjuncture which is rather too hastily described as ‘a clash of civilizations’, in Christian-secular western Europe wearing the veil or scarf in public has come to epitomize a fundamentalist and antimodern Islamic culture that is opposed to freedom and emancipa- tion. Fierce debates about banning the scarf and veil have taken place in France and Germany, as also in other countries like Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The way in which this issue has escalated as a theme in the debate about identity politics is nowhere clearer than in the July 2010 decision of the French National Assembly to categorically ban the wearing of the full niqab or burka, in the name of human dignity and equality. In the opinion of many commentators, this amounted to a highly questionable readiness to enforce dignity and equality at the expense of the rights of individual freedom.1 The vehemence of the debate, and the ease with which the basic rights of individuals were overridden, demonstrate a preoccupation with questions of identity that far exceeds the material question of dress alone. In view of this vehemence, it is not surprising to find an ostensibly stark dichotomy of values in play: tradition as opposed to modernity, progress as opposed to reaction, religion to reason, and eman- cipation to oppression. But if we look at how the question of veiling has been negotiated in Europe since the Reformation, it becomes clear how deeply invested the West has been in this history of uncovering and concealing.

  • Peasant Art : Sweden, Norway : a Century of Progress Exhibition
    PEASANT ART SWEDEN· NORWAY THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO A CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXHIBITION J U N E I TO N O VE M B E R I . I 9 3 4 Portico of Stunis Farm. Siilleron FOREWORD HE most varied and original forms of Sweden's T peasant art may be said to be embodied in the ancient farm houses. These ancestral cottages were built with their own hands, as well as the furniture they used and even the garments they wore. Every province had its distinctive character as well as its special dress, and even in the parishes divers peculiarities developed, particularly in the parishes of . Dalarna. On the western shore of Solleron (Sunny Island) in Lake Siljan, is the Stunis farm where stood until recently the main house which was built about 173 7 and added to in 18 3 7. This low log dwelling with portico and tall chimney surmounted by a weather-cock, and its entire interior equipment, such as furniture, utensils, textiles, and painted decora, tions, is now the property of the Art Institute, a gift from Florence Dibell Bartlett. In the near future it is to be re-erected with suitable environment as a part of the Museum. For the duration of A Century of Progress, two galleries are devoted to an exhibition of furnishings of the Dalarna dwelling, including a collection of painted wall hangings, used to cover the walls at Yuletide, together with provincial costumes. NORWAY It is represented by some fine Norwegian costumes, household implements and jewelry, including a "bride crown," and "brea st plate" or dress front.
