Julia Ormond has emerged as if from nowhere to be paired with Hollywood's sexiest men. Now, on the eve of her biggest role and biggest gamble filling the shoes of Audrey Hepburnshe pairs up with Vicki Woods

No longer just for ballerinas and little girls, the freshest color in fashion is changing the face of summerand heating up the fall forecast. Modeled by the current darling of the runway, Shalom Harlow, pink packs a punch when combined with shiny fabrics, pale skin, and jet black hair.

Despite attacks from all sides, haute couture is being celebrated this month at New York's Metropolitan Museum. Katherine Betts breaks the code of silence of fashion's most exclusive circle.

Yes, it's back. And so is Christy Turlington, who, at 37, shows how the color once worn mainly by First Ladies and anchorwomen is terrifically chic today—for all ages.

[...]war bonnets were crowns to die in, not crowns of status.\\n106 Indian tribes do not have the luxury of the funding and resources needed in tbeir efforts to repatriate their sacred objects, and cultural resources are not a high priority for federal law enforcement agencies.107 Advocates of Indian cultural resources have greater concerns for the inconsistency in the laws that seem to protect non-Indian elites' keeping war bonnets as decorations, while regulating Indians' use of eagle feathers in ceremonies.108 In the modern era, the Cheyenne continue to use war bonnets made of real eagle feathers, but they are used exclusively by members of the Chiefs Society, warrior society headmen, and war veterans. [...]war bonnets and other cultural items associated with war must be returned to their rightful owners, and this can only begin through sincere dialogue.

Two approaches have traditionally been used to describe the widening rate of jets and plumes: the diffusion concept of Prandtl, and the entrainment principle of Morton, Taylor and Turner. The entrainment concept is based on depth-averaged flow scales, and was later applied to plane gravity currents on an incline by Ellison and Turner [ET]. The two parameterizations are compared here for free shear flows, and gravity currents. It is shown that the diffusion concept is suitable for supercritical gravity currents, and that both approaches agree for subcritical ones. Depth-averaged models are also used for open channel flows, but the depth and velocity scales for the two flows are different. Those of ET are derived from the velocity distribution, whereas the depth of an open channel flow is the vertical extent of the dense liquid phase, and the velocity is derived from its flux. To reconcile the two descriptions, we extended the mass-based flow scales of open channel flows to gravity currents in an earlier contribution. In the present study these scales are outlined, and extended further to axisymmetric and non-buoyant free shear flows. Ratios of the diffusion rates in terms of mass- and velocity-based flow scales, are obtained from available experimental data for free shear flows.

This paper argues that items designed for the bodily extremities such as hair-coverings, hats, fans and other accessories were valued for the ease with which they could be changed and adapted to express a range of different meanings: political, social and individual. They also provided an important point of contact between the world of commerce, the court elites and the wider community of men and women who purchased and used these goods. In studying these often marginalized items, we can explore mechanism for the transmission of concepts of fashion and innovation in the Renaissance period.
