  • New Dating Trend Inspired by Doomed Fyre Festival
    New dating trend inspired by doomed Fyre Festival dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6734057/New-dating-trend-inspired-doomed-Fyre-Festival.html February 23, 2019 If you've ever felt misled by a potential date on social media, the chances are you've unknowingly been Fyre'd. The bizarre new trend, inspired by the ill-fated Bahamian festival of the same name, involves being deliberately misled or lied to on social media - a growing epidemic in the age of Tinder, according to dating expert Mairead Molloy. This is particularly prevalent in the age of dating apps and swiping right, the co-founder of Berkeley International explains. The elite dating service has seen an increase in the past year of daters quitting apps after feeling cheated or misled by their dates - echoing the fate of festival-goers who were lured in by the promise of luxury villas and gourmet cuisine, only to find themselves chewing on stale cheese sandwiches in rain-soaked storm tents. Here, Mairead explains how to avoid falling into a Fyre festival-style trap in dating and relationships. Expectation: Advertised with supermodels frolicking on idyllic beaches (pictured) the doomed Fyre Festival is now widely known as 'the greatest festival that never happened' 1/7 Social media hiding 'There is always an amazing feeling when starting to date someone new. You have been on loads of amazing dates with them and spent quality time together. 'You think you know everything about them as they are incredibly open with you. But are they as open on their social media? Like the ill-fated Fyre Festival, it’s important to question what’s being shared – or held back – from social media.

B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place.

  • Penguin Group (USA) Inc. V. Steinbeck
    [Edited. You can read the full opinion here.] Penguin Group (USA) Inc. v. Steinbeck 537 F.3d 193 (2d Cir. 2008) SACK, Circuit Judge: This is an appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Richard Owen, Judge) granting summary judgment to the appellees Thomas, Steinbeck and Blake Smyle based on the court's conclusion that a "notice of termination" given in 2004 that purported to terminate, pursuant to the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 304(c) and (d), the 1938 grant of copyright licenses by the author John Steinbeck, was valid. We consider on appeal whether an agreement entered into in 1994 between Steinbeck's widow and the publisher terminated and superseded the 1938 agreement, and, if so, whether the termination notice is therefore ineffective. Because the termination right provided by section 304(d) pursuant to which the 2004 termination notice was issued applies only to pre-1978 grants of transfers or licenses of copyright, and because the 1994 agreement left intact no pre-1978 grant for the works in question, we conclude that the 2004 notice of termination is ineffective. The 1994 agreement remains in effect. BACKGROUND Grants of Licenses of Copyright On September 12, 1938, the author John Steinbeck executed an agreement with The Viking Press (the "1938 Agreement") that established the terms for the latter's publication of some of Steinbeck's best-known works, including The Long Valley, Cup of Gold, The Pastures of Heaven, To A God Unknown, Tortilla Flat, In Dubious Battle, and Of Mice and Men, in all of which Steinbeck held the copyright.

    Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics Hot to Trot – The distance walked by supermodels on the runway, and calories burned over the course of their careers Ismail Jan The Centre for Interdisciplinary Science, University of Leicester 19/04/2018 Abstract A vital part of modelling is taking part in runway shows. In this paper, the kilometres covered on the runway by three young models (Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Kaia Gerber) was determined, and subsequently the calories burned over the course of their careers. It was found that they have walked 1.66, 1.74, and 0.72 km respectively. These three models have also burned 78.98, 83.63, and 31.89 calories on the runway respectively. Introduction the Year by the British Fashion Council [3]. Kaia When they are not posing for glossy Vogue editorial Gerber, the youngest of the three, is the daughter of spreads, or holding up bottles of ‘eau de parfum’ on Cindy Crawford, arguably the most iconic model of all our television screens, supermodels walk (as seen in time [4]. figure 1). Supermodels can run a lot of runways at many different shows during their careers (e.g. the Distance walked ‘big four’ annual fashion weeks). The length of the runway varies from show to show, from the longer Burberry show in London Fashion Week 2015 (showcasing more experienced models) which was 147 feet, to much smaller runways at less commercial events [5]. However, the average runway is 28 feet long, or 0.0085344 km [6]. A model must walk the length of the runway twice, so they would therefore have to walk 56 feet on average.
