"Legend is the consecration of celebrity," and no other fashion designer in history has exceeded either Chanel’s celebrity or her legend. She is a fiercely independent lover of dukes, industrialists, and artists ; a confidante of many of the creative geniuses of her day, among them, writer Jean Cocteau, painter Pablo Picasso, ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and composer Igor Stravinsky, and a self-created image of the free-spirited "new woman" of the 1920s. Through her personal example and the fashion

elow is the transcript of a speech Robert did at Yale in October along with the Q&A that followed. For those of you who would prefer to listen to an mp3 of the speech, you can do that here. Host: Welcome everybody. So, it’s a pleasure to have all of you here, and a particular pleasure to welcome our honored guest, Robert Greene. He is, well, you are all here, so I think you probably know a lot about his books, his writings. I’ll state just a few words. He has trained in classical literature. And

As has been explained in chapters 1.4.6 and 1.4.7, the country reports are based on desk research (analysis of policy documents and secondary literature) and on interviews with relevant actors involved in policy-making. The guiding questions for the desk research were: (a) what have been the objectives of national policies; (b) what is the relationship between internationalisation policies and

farming operations. Initial investment is high, but is primarily related to the cost of land preparation, planting, and installation of a trellis and irrigation system. Also, equipment needs on a small-acreage farm are not very great. Raspberry plantings should fruit for at least six years, and some produce for more than 20 years. Increasing demand for raspberries has kept fresh-market prices relatively stable in recent years. Growing raspberries is not for everyone, however, as they have special production

important figure in the western culture because he stills remain a huge influence into the artists’ works today. His plays are translated in a lot of languages and are regularly played everywhere all around the world. He is one of the only playwrights who have written both comedies and tragedies. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays between 1580 and 1613. We can also mesure his influence on the anglo-saxon culture, since we notice the large amount of references which are done about him, through quotations, work

think of the Ashmolean as a national asset, alongside the Tate and the British Museum. It's almost as big, it seems, with elements of its collections comparable, and it was Europe's first public museum. But it is a university museum, and like all university museums it has laboured for decades as officially no more than part of a faculty, and a fairly minor part at that. It struggled to be anything more than a study collection — albeit a very exalted one — but all that is changing. The change began

1. My meaning of the statement of Mary Parker Follett To rightly explain the meaning of this statement, the words have to be defined as they give all the significance. First, as Grey (2009) underlined it, the etymology of to manage comes from the French ménager and the Italian maneggiare. Both have the same Latin origin, the word manus, “hand” in English, and both basically means to handle. One is in a household context while the other is about horse handling. Grey (2009) added that this origin

TOURISM STRATEGY IN SPAIN Tourism is the main source of incomes for the Spanish economy (10% of national employment), the leading industry of the country (12% GDP), and a very profitable industry for Spain because this economy was able to meet the almost totality of the trade balance. This is why tourism is crucial in Spain. However, tourism in Spain today is in decline and has become a priority for the Spanish government so that the current crisis in Spain did not become a tourism crisis.

Population ageing is a shift in the distribution of a country's population towards older ages. This is usually reflected in an increase in the population's mean and median ages, a decline in the proportion of the population composed of children, and a rise in the proportion of the population that is elderly. Population ageing is widespread across the world. It is most advanced in the most highly developed countries. Mauritius had a population of 1,260,403 in 2007, with the number of people aged 60 and
