Fashion Is Freedom How a Girl from Tehran Broke the Rules to Change her World
No full textThe inspiring true story of how courage, a dream, and some needle and thread can change a life forever... Since she was young, Tala Raassi knew her fate lay in fashion. But growing up in her beloved homeland of Iran, a woman can be punished for exposing her hair in public, let alone wearing the newest trends. Despite strict regulations, Tala developed a keen sense of style in backroom cafes and secret parties. She never imagined her behavior would land her in prison, or bring the cruel sting of a whip for the crime of wearing a mini-skirt. Tala's forty lashes didn't keep her down ? they fanned the flames of individuality and inspired her to embrace a new freedom in the United States. As she developed her own clothing label, her exploration into the creative, cut throat community of Western fashion opened her eyes to the ups and downs of hard work, hard decisions, and hard truths. Fashion is Freedom takes us on a journey that crosses the globe, from Colombia to Miss Universe, and inspires women everywhere to be fearless.Front Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Table of Contents -- My Magical Iran -- Chapter 1: The Crime of the Miniskirt -- Chapter 2: With Love There Is No Fear -- Chapter 3: Theater of War -- Chapter 4: Behind Closed Doors -- Chapter 5: The Power of Money -- Chapter 6: Finding Brilliance in Creation -- Chapter 7: Rock-Star Education -- Chapter 8: Tehran High -- Chapter 9: Restrictions Made Me Resourceful -- Chapter 10: Behind Bars -- Don't Get Hopeless, Get Empowered -- Chapter 11: No Change, No Butterflies -- Chapter 12: First Fashion Stride -- Chapter 13: Diamond in the Rough -- Chapter 14: The World's Longest Runway -- Chapter 15: Collecting Passport Stamps -- Chapter 16: The Bare Bones of the Craft -- Door-to-Door -- Chapter 17: Never Trust Capri Pants -- Chapter 18: Fashion in the Haunted Town House -- Chapter 19: Naughty São Paulo -- Chapter 20: God Doesn't Have Partners -- Chapter 21: Starting Over -- Chapter 22: Born to Design -- Chapter 23: Think Big -- Chapter 24: My Mission Published -- Chapter 25: The Lipstick Revolution -- Where Is My Crown? -- Chapter 26: A Golden Opportunity -- Chapter 27: Living the Dream -- Chapter 28: Fake Reality -- Chapter 29: Women in Power -- Chapter 30: Match Made in Hell -- Chapter 31: Life and Lemons -- Chapter 32: The Fragility of Fame -- Chapter 33: Aftermath and Breakdown -- Chapter 34: Free and Fearless -- Acknowledgments -- About the Author -- Back CoverThe inspiring true story of how courage, a dream, and some needle and thread can change a life forever...

El Superrealismo De Tala, De Gabriela Mistral
No full textEl presente trabajo tiene como antecedente una publicación del mismo autor (Matrimonio de sol y cordillera, 1988), en la cual se buscó dilucidar la presencia de superrealismo en los poemas "Sol del trópico" y "Cordillera" del libro Tala, de Gabriela Mistral. La presencia de elementos superrealistas en las diversas secciones de este volumen mistraliano es abundante y, esta vez, se ha procurado deslindar algunos de estos elementos con cierta atención en estas otras unidades del libro.
In a previous publication of the author ("Matrimonio de Sol y Cordillera" (A Marriage of Sun and Mountain) 1988), there is a attempt to elucidate that "super-realism" found in "Sol del Trópico" (Tropic Sun), and "Cordillera" (Mountain), two poems included in Gabriela Mistral's "Tala". The following essay goes over the same idea of the abundant presence of super-realistic elements in many sections of the aforesaid volume, but this time the author tries to higlight some of these elements in some other sections of the book

Analyse phytosociologique de la chênaie caducifoliée mixte de Tala Kitane (Akfadou, Algérie)
No full textBy a phytosociological study, the author underlines a degradation of the deciduous oaks formation of Tala Kitane (Akfadou) linked to the anthropic action. In that case, this deciduous wood of oaks (Quercus canariensis and Q. afares) correspond to a poor and xeric facies of the subassociation defined by Quezel (1956) in Akfadou forest. The abundance of nitrophilous species in our plant community allows us to individualize a local variant.La chênaie caducifoliée mixte de Tala Kitane correspond à un faciès appauvri plus xérique du Rubo incanescensis-Quercetum canariensis Quézel 1956 em.

Healthy movement behaviours in children and youth during the COVID-19 pandemic: Exploring the role of the neighbourhood environment
No full textThis paper explores patterns of increased/ decreased physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours among Canadian children and youth aged 5-17 years during the COVID-19 pandemic, and examines how these changes are associated with the built environment near residential locations. A cluster analysis identified two groups who were primarily distinguished by the changes in outdoor activities. Compliance to 24-hour movement guidelines was low among both groups. For children, houses (versus apartments) was correlated with increased outdoor activities; proximity to major roads was a barrier. For youth, low dwelling density, and access to parks in high-density neighbourhoods, increased the odds of increased outdoor activities during the pandemic. Our findings can inform future urban and health crisis planning practices by providing new insights into the desirable public health messaging and characteristics of healthy and resilient communities.
