This crystal statement necklace features two layers of draped clear vintage chandelier crystals. Neo Victorian elegance is created as thirteen crystals glisten in the light. The back of the necklace ties with a black silky ribbon. I have treated the ends so the ribbon won't fray. The ribbon makes the necklace incredibly versatile, as you can tie it to whatever length you like.
I created this necklace for I Feel Love, a fashion show in Minneapolis Minnesota. This necklace is designed to be romantic, modern, and elegant at the same time, like something an edgy rock star would wear. You can relive the magic of I Feel Love by watching this video of the fashion show:
Statement from Musician, Composer & Recording Artist, Sami Yusuf
Assalamu alaikom,
This morning I was made aware that Awakening Records have released what they claim to be my third album, which they are offering for sale on their website. I realize that this will be welcome news for many people, but my loyal supporters need to know that this album release is NOT taking place with my blessing OR my consent!
The tracks they have chosen to release are ‘work in progress’ and are almost entirely based on stolen mp3 demos that are far from complete and are certainly not of the high standard, lyrically, musically and technically, that I always insist upon. Consequently, for me to hear these incomplete recordings, that only represent a sketch of what I would wish to release for my discerning supporters, is painful beyond description. I therefore wish to make it perfectly clear that an album comprised of any such recordings could only be put on to the market against my wishes and without my specific approval.
I need to explain that, for the past year, I have been in dispute with Awakening Records, the main thrust of my grievances being their total lack of transparency in dealing with me. I have made strenuous efforts to resolve the accumulated issues that I kept turning a blind eye to, all the while maintaining a measured, polite and dignified means of communication, but to no avail.
Personally, I’m able to cope with the aggravation that I’ve had to endure during this past year, but I will NOT tolerate my brothers and sisters and my many loyal supporters being cheated, lied to and made a mockery of. BOYCOTT THEM!! They are unworthy of your support, in addition to which I can’t bear the thought of you shelling out your hard earned cash for music pretending to be my finest work, which it certainly isn’t! Equally unbearable is allowing these people who have abused my trust to profit from selling my music in a form that they know full well is incomplete and which, arguably, doesn’t even belong to them.
Please be patient. I am in the process of completing my album which will be ready in just a few short weeks and which I will make available at the earliest opportunity, but only when it is completed to my total satisfaction and which represents my musical, lyrical and spiritual hopes and aspirations for us all.
One thing that I will do, as a sign of my affection and respect for those many people of every nationality around the world that have supported me over these past years, is work through the night to prepare MY version of Palestine Forever and provide it as a free download on my new website:
God bless you ALL
Sami

Ludhiana , 1 February 2014 -
National Secretary BJP Kisan Morcha and Prabhari Himachal Pradesh Advocate Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal Punjab said that Courts should take suo motu notice of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's remarks in an interview to Times Now that some of his party men were involved in the 1984 anti Sikh riots. In a press statement here today he said that the Punjab Congress Party leaders to quit the party after such confession statement. Grewal said that our Party BJP had been saying from day one that Congress had led 1984 anti-Sikh riots and now Rahul Gandhi which is the main Incharge of the Congress Party has admitted the same. Grewal said that not only Congress leaders of Punjab but the whole Sikh community should boycott the party for its role in the 1984 riots in which thousands of Sikhs were murdered in cold blood. Grewal also reminded that Rahul Gandhi's father Rajiv Gandhi had said JAB KOI BARA PERH GIRTA HAI TOH DHARTI HILTI HAI "when a big tree falls the ground is bound to shake" in reaction to the riots in Delhi in 1984 after his mother and then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. He quipped that on one side Rahul claimed that the Congress government tried to prevent the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and on the other admitted involvement of some of the party leaders in the mayhem and later refused to apologize. Grewal asked Rahul Gandhi to name Congress Leaders and Members involved in the riots and why they were not arrested. Grewal also refused to equate 1984 massacre of Sikhs with the Gujarat anti Muslim riots. He said that there is lot of difference between the two incidents. He said that the Gujarat government had even given a clean chit to chief minister Narendra Modi saying he had no role in the riots. Grewal said that whatever had happened in 1984 was connived by Congress. He said that various commissions set up to investigate the riots had also proved the same. Grewal also said that now that Rahul has brazenly admitted involvement of Congressmen in the anti Sikh riots, human rights groups should take note of it to punish the guilty. He said that the 1984 anti Sikh riots were the biggest blot on the face of India.

Australian Heritage Places inventory details
Koroit Commercial Road Conservation Area
Source: Go to the Register of the National Estate for more information.
Identifier: 15046
Location: Commercial Rd, Koroit
Local
Government: Moyne Shire
State: VIC
Country: Australia
Statement of
Significance: The conservation area consists of a number of important public buildings and a street of relatively intact humble shopfronts and kerbline verandahs, visually punctuated by opposing bank facades. Containing a range of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century structures, the conservation area strongly evokes a sense of the town's past (Criterion E.1).
Description: Koroit is located some miles to the north of the main coastal road, the Princes Highway, and is approximately midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. It lies on the northern slopes of the volcanic Tower Hill, enjoying the benefits of rich soil and shelter from the weather from the Southern Ocean. The qualities of the soil have long made the district suitable to intensive cultivation, producing abundant crops of potatoes, onions and peas, usually in association with diary cattle, pigs and fat lambs. The area also once produced mustard, linseed, wheat and oats. The township of Koroit developed to serve the needs of the district. The close settlement and small holdings allowed Koroit to grow into a larger town than would normally be expected within a short distance (17km) from the regional centre, Warrnambool, and from Port Fairy which is 20km distant. The predominant green of year round cultivation and the scale of the district's holdings and buildings have led many observers to see a similarity with Irish landscapes. Commercial Road, the main street of Koroit, is a flat, straight stretch of road. This is the commercial and administrative centre of Koroit and contains a number of interesting late nineteenth and early twentieth century shops, dwellings and public buildings. The focal point of the commercial/administrative precinct is the group of public buildings near the intersection of Boundary/Commercial Road and High Street. Included are the municipal offices and the bluestone post office. The latter was built in 1872 and is of special significance through its link with author Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson whose mother was postmistress here in 1878; Ethel's father died in Koroit in 1879 and the author used the town for the setting of the third novel in her trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Also included within this precinct are the courthouse (1871-72), and the state school (1878). Also of note at the intersection is the decorative Koroit Hotel with detailing showing Art Nouveau influence (especially in the verandah). Diagonally opposite is the Courthouse Inn, an interesting Edwardian weatherboard building now unlicensed but still used for accommodation. The Commercial Road shopping area runs west from this intersection, consisting primarily of single storey shops although the State Savings Bank and, directly opposite, the National Bank are exceptions. The National Bank in its present form dates from c 1872 when architect George Jobbins was commissioned to remodel the facade and to erect an additional storey. Jobbins was also commissioned to design the premises of the Colonial Bank of Australasia (now the State Savings Bank) in 1876. The design of this bank closely relates to the National Bank in Warrnambool (1868-69) designed by Lloyd Tayler, Jobbins' former employer. Though there are a number of later intrusions in the Commercial Road area, some of them unfortunate, the prevailing kerbline verandah posts and valances are still sufficient to evoke a strong sense of the town's past. This is emphasised by the town's relative isolation, being by passed by all the major district highways.

This collection of photos is a wide range I have taken and pride myself upon, I have chosen a diverse collection of photos in terms of content, genre and idea.
Within my most recent A level Module I have explored digital and film manipulation and the idea of layering photos and concepts together, I think this is evident within some of the photos I have chosen, as they are digitally layered. Within this section of my project I have been inspired by upcoming new artist Dan Mountford, and much older and more traditional Photographer Jerry Uelsmann, although Uelsmann is much more traditional in method, I think that he is more surreal and poignant in concept.
Conversely I have included some of my more candid and natural photos that I am pleased with, I think sometimes that a simple portrait or Landscape with the detail in the beauty of the lighting is just as satisfying if not more than a complex image. Two of my favourite portrait and street photographers have greatly inspired me for many years, these being Helen Levitt and Tod Papageorge, both based in New York, a city I adore. I have great admiration for the simple lighting and black and white format of the street photos.
A couple of the photos are simple photos in technicality, but have much deeper meanings and concepts within them, For example the photo of myself gagged by the tape measure, was a simple photo set up on a tripod in my house, but the photo runs much deeper than that, it is from a mini series I did on the shocking reality of the vanity of modern society and the pressure of girls to be perfect.
Feminism and identity are themes I am particularly interested in. A photographer that inspires me through the concept of challenging Patriachy is Shirin Neshat, who’s simple yet dark images of Iranian women always move me.
Ray Schamp’s unique style of origami was influenced by his long-time interests in visual art and the sciences. Raised in Baltimore by working artists and science professionals, he emerged from his childhood with an appreciation for order, the natural world, and design. His art reflects his experiences growing up, his studies of biology at Oberlin College, and his current work as a web developer.
Schamp characterizes his style of origami as ‘corrugation’, in reference to the pleated surfaces that comprise the work. Through the development of this genre, Schamp has become involved in the greater community of origami artists, especially those who focus on the creation of repeated patterns in paper. His participation in this community has refined Schamp's understanding of his own work by challenging him to deeply explore the nuances of his technique and theory.
For Schamp, the experience of making each piece is as important as the piece itself – the art of origami lies in the evolution of the flat piece of paper into its final form. He understands his work as a form of emergence, where the end result is not pre-meditated, but is a function of the process by which it was created.
Corrugations differ from traditional origami not only because they are non-representational, but also because the role of each crease is apparent in the final piece. As described by a colleague in the origami community, “The bare bones of the fold displayed are stripped to their essentials. Here is folding from first principles…” Schamp’s work demonstrates the basic mechanics of paper, because each crease visibly contributes to the larger structure.
Teaching is a vital part of Schamp’s artistic practice. He understands origami corrugations as a medium for expressing mathematical and scientific ideas, and encourages others to do so as well. By sharing his method and philosophy of folding, he hopes to inspire artists, both within and outside of the origami community, to further explore his ideas.
Today my assistant made a statement, waving with the white pen! He thinks that freedom of speech is one of the most important things that exist today but he also thinks that the religious freedom is equally important like the free choice of political values, therefore the white pen, seeking peace and respect, without jeopardizing democracy!
Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power, Shared Presentations Stage 3, Thematic Arena 3, Opportunity petal, an IAEA Statement Event at the United Nations Climate Change Conference UNCCC held at the Expo City Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Blue Zone, 1 December 2023
The IAEA Event: Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power will highlight the crucial role of nuclear power as part of the energy mix. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mr Rafael Mariano Grossi will announce the ‘IAEA Statement on Nuclear Power’ supported by 40 countries, both those already operating nuclear power plants and newcomers. Together these countries acknowledge that all available low-carbon technologies, including nuclear power, should be recognized, and actively supported. The Statement underlines the benefits of nuclear power, including that nuclear power plants produce no harmful greenhouse gas emissions; that nuclear energy contributes to energy security and the stability of power grids; and that it mitigates air pollution at a local level.

Nowhere is there such an intersection of cultures as in New York City. As an immigrant who has lived in New York for 10 years, traveling among the five boroughs using public transportation is still fascinating and exciting; being in this city can feel like visiting another country. People celebrate the customs and holidays of their country by wearing folk costumes on the street. Awnings with messages in entirely unfamiliar alphabets are completely common. Many of them advertise goods catering to specific nationalities and cultures, especially foods that were brought here or requested by immigrants living in neighborhoods like Brighton Beach, Jackson Heights, or Flushing. The packaging of these products is a form of art that tells stories and helps remind people that their culture is alive. In this way, immigrants in New York City can prevent the fading of identification with their native culture.
Blender is my ongoing project in which I investigate the diverse immigrant cultures in New York City. The project includes photos of the packaging of food products from various neighborhoods with a large immigrant influence accompanied by texts (short stories as well as notes on the history, culture, and trivia relating to immigrant-heavy areas), maps, and a website. I’m showing photos and presenting short texts on the New York City neighborhoods where the photographed food products can be found. The look of these food packages often has an old-fashioned feel: bright, saturated colors and outmoded designs that are rare in both Japan, where I’m from, and America, where I now live. Through this project I hope to show that art can transcend time and language even through the simplest imagery found on a candy wrapper. Blender is a lens into New York's immigrant communities and cultures.
