2. As White Diamonds Lose Cachet, Couples Want Colored Engagement Rings. A Guide.

Author

Boncompagni, Tatiana

Subjects
*RINGS (Jewelry), *FASHION, *DIAMOND jewelry, *ARTIFICIAL diamonds, *WEDDING & engagement rings, *MILLENNIALS
Abstract

Colored engagement stones are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional white diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds have flooded the market, causing a decline in the demand for white diamonds and a decrease in their prices. In contrast, colored stones like rubies, sapphires, and spinels have seen an increase in value and are considered investment opportunities. Colored-gem sales have risen significantly, with consumers seeking individualism and personal style in their engagement rings. However, it is important to consider factors such as the gem's past treatment, inclusions, and durability before committing to a colored stone. [Extracted from the article]

4. Consecration and Materiality.

Author

Subjects
*PUBLIC demonstrations, *POLITICAL campaigns, *ADVERTISING, *ADVERTISING campaigns, *CONSUMER goods
Abstract

This article focuses on a case of failed consecration: the Egyptian obelisk in New York's Central Park, commonly known as Cleopatra's Needle. The obelisk arrived in New York from Alexandria in 1880, with great fanfare. For a brief period, it was the talk of the town: a tourist curiosity and star of advertising campaigns for consumer goods. After an initial surge in public visibility, the monument's prominence faded. Today, the obelisk is not on the list of New York's top cultural attractions, and no longer features in media campaigns or political rallies. I ask why the obelisk's initial popularity failed to crystallize into an enduring condition of consecration. To answer this question, I use archival data to chart the obelisk's transfer of ownership and planned move, through its Central Park début and subsequent decline in cultural salience. The obelisk met key criteria associated with successful cases of retrospective consecration. What weakened the obelisk's career were lack of consecrating institutions and inherently unstable material conditions. These mechanisms are symbiotically related: because no institution took responsibility for conserving and protecting the obelisk, its granite face rapidly deteriorated and frustrated attempts to attract potential consecrating institutions. The article makes a twofold contribution to the literature on retrospective consecration. First, by discussing a failed case, it highlights the linked efficacy of consecration formation mechanisms. Second, in focusing on an ancient monument, it demonstrates the role played by materials and the specific measures of consecration that obtain in the broader sphere of ancient monuments.

7. 'True Beauty Starts at 40': Older Women Ruled New York Fashion Week.

Author

Satran, Rory

Subjects
*OLDER women, *FASHION shows, *MODELS (Persons)
Abstract

New York Fashion Week showcased a shift towards age diversity, with designers like Batsheva Hay, Christian Cowan, and Helmut Lang featuring older models in their shows. Hay specifically cast women ranging from their 40s to their late 70s, many of whom had never modeled before. This trend of older models is not limited to the runway, as brands like Rachel Comey and Saint Laurent have also featured models over 40 in their advertising. The inclusion of older models is seen as a business opportunity and a way to make customers feel represented and good about themselves. [Extracted from the article]

*SKIN care products, *APPLICATION software
Abstract

Estée Lauder, a cosmetics giant, announced that it will lay off up to 5% of its staff, or up to 3,100 workers, due to falling profits. The company is facing lower demand in Asia, particularly in China. McDonald's shares declined by 3.7% due to the conflict in the Middle East, which has led to online criticism and boycotts against the company. Palantir Technologies, a data analytics firm, reported a record profit for 2023, driven by increased commercial demand for its AI products. New York Community Bancorp named Alessandro DiNello as executive chairman after reporting a fourth-quarter loss and downgrading its debt to junk. Finally, Disney announced partnerships with ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery to create a sports-streaming service, as well as investments in "Fortnite" and an exclusive Taylor Swift concert movie. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

The FBI has stated that there is no evidence to suggest that the driver who crashed an SUV filled with gas canisters into concert traffic in Rochester, New York on New Year's Eve was engaged in terrorism. The incident resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to at least nine pedestrians. The driver, identified as Michael Avery, intentionally sped up towards the concert traffic and died later in the hospital.
