It was a showcase of how art, textile, and fashion could come together and create a memorable display. The work was memorable as it gave essence to the fashion on display as well as the concept that Van Noten wished to convey (see Figure 1). The carpet ...

This ensures that everyone has the right to own and use a gun. This means that ...

That was okay, the rhythm of her fingers matched the erratic beating of her heart at that moment. She had done something horrible, something that she might never have believed possible of herself in a million years. Worse than that though, so much so in fact that she felt it as a sudden awakening in the pit of her stomach, she’d enjoyed it. She had put a gun to a man’s head and pulled the trigger, and she ...
