Even at this early point in the evolution of military uniforms a purely military form of headdress, the grenadier cap, came into being. During the late seven- teenth century, the grenade was a significant factor in in- fantry tactics. It was an iron sphere filled with gunpowder that was ignited by a fuse. Specialist troops were trained to light these fuses from a hand-held match and then throw the grenades into the ranks of the enemy. Since two hands were required for this, grenadiers had to sling their muskets on their backs, an operation difficult to ac- complish when wearing the broad-brimmed hats of the era. Thus grenadiers were given a sort of stocking cap. Some military tailor concluded that these grenadiers, al- ready selected for their size and strength, would look even more impressive if the cap were stiffened to increase the apparent height of its wearer (Laver’s seduction princi- ple). The grenadier cap became a symbol of an elite sol- dier (Laver’s hierarchical principle). Since elite troops were useful for assaulting or defending key positions on a battlefield, European armies continued to designate units as “grenadiers,” and these wore grenadier caps long after grenades had become obsolete (hand grenades were reintroduced in warfare in the trenches of World War I). The grenadier cap was sometimes given a metal front (such as that worn by the Russian Life Guard Pavlovski Regiment in full dress until 1914) or made of fur. The fur headdress worn by the Brigade of Guards at Buck- ingham Palace in London is in fact a grenadier cap. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Take in the case of the red Sox


Why is it that baseball is filled with curses? it's simply unhappy that your favorite team cannot win a World Series thanks to these so-called curses that hit the team. Sometimes, it makes individuals surprise if these hexes are true. Well, it looks that almost all baseball fanatics and players are quite superstitious when it involves their losses. . . . . . . . .
It is additionally funny how the results of those curses coincide inside the time it presumably started and therefore the periods whereby the team isn't winning. it's not as if the team is unable to win a game. it's simply frustrating how an incredible team with the simplest players are going to be deprived of entering into a World Series or maybe win one. sometimes it takes years to raise the curse for a few it never will.
Take in the case of the red Sox, it took many years before the got their championship titles. it had been not till 2004 that they got their 1st. The hex was totally exorcised once they bagged their second win last year. everyone thinks it had been a significant relief for the team and therefore the fans. they will currently breathe as a result of in each game that they play, no supernatural phenomenon are going to be holding them back their win.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Early Twentieth Century


In the early twentieth century, unconventional artistic dress had achieved a certain level of acceptance. Wear- ing of artistic dress had even become a badge of distinc- tion, bestowing upon the wearer an aura of progressive ideals, intellectualism, and good taste. These attributes were particularly accorded to the wearers of Fortuny dresses. Mario Fortuny y Madraz, born into a distin- guished family of Spanish painters living in Venice, cre- ated Renaissance and medieval-inspired printed velvet gowns, as well as a simple columnar pleated silk dress in- spired by ancient Greek sculpture. The latter dress, called the Delphos, was patented in 1909 and was produced, with slight variations, through the 1940s. Fortuny dresses be- came synonymous with simplicity, elegance, and timeless beauty and were favored by members of artistic and in- tellectual circles. As the century progressed, a number of avant-garde painters also turned to the medium of fashion for artis- tic expression, viewing garments as the perfect form of kinetic, visual tableaux. Simultaneist and Rayonnist artists Sonia Delaunay and Natalia Goncharova tried their hand at fashion design and worked for the Parisian couture houses of Heim and Myrbor, respectively. Even more ex- treme were the 1913 dress designs of Italian Futurist Gi- acomo Balla and the mass-produced work clothes created by Russian Constructivists Varvara Stepanova and Alexander Rodchenko. Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, and even Ferdinand Leger took turns designing garments in the first quarter of the twentieth century.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Milk Confrol Program For Ohio Aired


A proposal calling lor creation of state milk control program was" ntroduced to a group of area armers and some milk dealers at meeting Tuesday night. It was strictly an informational meeting, sponsored by the Lorain County Farm Bureau, to give airy interests an idea of the plan which will go before Ohio Legisla- ure in bill form in 1957. No stand was taken by the group ttending the session at Welling- on High School, and the man who xplained the proposal—Dr. Elmer Baumer, Ohio State University milk marketing specialist—also gave an impartial review of the tate plan which has been drawn up by the Ohio Milk Producers Federation. Cleveland Area Milk Producers Federation, through which many area farmers market heir milk, is a part of the state- wide federation. Practices Eliminated As Dr. Baumer explained it, the bill would have only one state- wide "mandatory aspect. That would be in the elimination of unfair trade practices. He said hat phase of the program would be designed to prevent rebates, efunds, bonuses to some pro- ducers without giving them to all who met specified conditions and o provide a check on auditing and bookkeeping in the milk ndustry. In other respects, however, the egislation would be noncompul- sory It was explained that milk producers in any given area could
