LATEST NEWS FASHION IN PARIS
Throughout my entire rather unfashionable life, I have somehow known that Paris is supposed to be the centre of the fashion universe. But where would you start if you decided to dress like a fashionable Parisian? What do those people who live in the city and love its fashionable image wear? Joanthan Dean makes a quick tour of Paris's boutiques, concluding what's hot and what's not. Read the article HOW TO FIND A JOB IN FRANCE
One of the first things to note is that unless you speak fluent French your chances of getting any job position are minimal. France has a high rate of unemployment (currently around 12%), especially amongst the young, and therefore there are lots of well-qualified, well-educated French job seekers who will provide tough competition for you. Read the article
The easiest way to get around France is by train. France has one of the most advanced rail networks in the world, and the state railway company, SNCF, is efficient, though more expensive than in neighbouring countries like Italy.

Electra Havemeyer Webb :
Electra's Passion - Vermont's Good Fortune
Shelburne Museum houses unique collection
A Passion for Collecting Electra's Legacy , By Deborah Straw
E lectra Havemeyer Webb one of New England's foremost collectors, had unorthodox and impeccable taste and the money to acquire just what she wanted. Fortunately for Vermont (and it's visitors) , she also had the generosity to establish a museum of her collections in Shelburne. The Museum's collection of more than seven hundred quilts is considered one of the largest and finest collections in the country. Patchwork quilts, appliquéd quilts, floral-patterned textiles, jacquard coverlets, and wood block textiles are among them. They are located primarily in Hat and Fragrance Textile Gallery, along with hooked rugs, dolls, hand-made lace and lots more. Who can resist The Circus Building? The horse-shoe shaped structure showcases the Roy Arnold miniature circus parade: l, 050 people and creatures like yaks and camel howdahs ( the seat on the camel's back where people ride) are carved on a scale of one inch to one foot. The parade stretches for five hundred feet. Another amazing exhibit is the three thousand five hundred -piece Kirk Brothers Miniature Circus made in Harrisburg, Pa., by Edgar Decker Kirk, a brakeman on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The project took nearly fifty years to fabricate. Electra Havemeyer Webb often reflected on her mother's advice: "Remember how blessed you are. And if opportunity ever offers, equalize the sum of human happiness and share the sunshine that you have inherited."

online from Black Country Living Museum based on the BCN in Dudley. A friendly welcome awaits you at one of Britain's best open air museums. Discover a fascinating and different world where an old-fashioned village has been recreated by the canal as a living tribute to the skills and enterprise of the people of the Black Country, once the Industrial Heart of Britain. You can wander around shops and houses, ride on a tramcar or fairground swingboat or just soak up the atmosphere. The exhibits reflect the industrial heritage of the area, an ironworks with rolling mill, a coal mine with colliery engine and a Newcomen Engine (a replica of the world's first steam engine), all in action on specific dates. The village is surrounded on three sides by canal, the Dudley Tunnel Branch of the Birmingham Canal system and two arms, one to old lime kilns and the other to a fully functioning boatdock. The boatdock is typical of the many built on the Black Country canals. Three boats can be drawn out of the water sideways and it is fully equipped to repair and build working narrowboats. Many of the dock buildings have been built from redundant boats. Dudley Tunnel is 3154 yards long and connects to an unique network of caverns and canal branches which served the limestone mines beneath Castle Hill, preserved almost without change for two hundred years. You can take a trip through some of the network on an electrically powered trip boat from the museum. Only electrically propelled boats are allowed in the tunnel due to lack of ventilation, boats used to have to be

Living History Museum
This is a sample chapter from In Times Past : An Encyclopedia for Integrating US History with Literature in Grades 3-8 by Carol Otis Hurst and Rebecca Otis ( Order from Amazon.com . SRA/McGraw-Hill, 1993. ISBN 0-7829-0155-7) One of the most exciting things that has happened for students of history and the general public in recent years is the creation of living history museums. In these museums, people live and work the way they did in that area in the past, assuming the roles of real settlers. Visitors to a living museum often get a more real sense of the time by observing and interacting with the personnel than they would have by just viewing displays of artifacts or homes. The inhabitants of these villages learn the crafts and speech of the era and work for complete authenticity based on careful research.

Living Pictures, Missing Persons:
Mannequins, Museums, and Modernity
Mark B. Sandberg
Shopping Cart Endorsements In the late nineteenth century, Scandinavian urban dwellers developed a passion for a new, utterly modern sort of visual spectacle: objects and effigies brought to life in astonishingly detailed, realistic scenes. The period 1880-1910 was the popular high point of mannequin display in Europe. Living Pictures, Missing Persons explores this phenomenon as it unfolded with the rise of wax museums and folk museums in the largest cities of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Mark Sandberg asks: Why did modernity generate a cultural fascination with the idea of effigy? He shows that the idea of effigy is also a portal to understanding other aspects of visual entertainment in that period, including the widespread interest in illusionistic scenes and tableaux, in the "portability" of sights, spaces, and entire milieus. Sandberg investigates this transformation of visual culture outside the usual test cases of the largest European metropolises. He argues that Scandinavian spectators desired an unusual degree of authenticitya cultural preference for naturalism that made its way beyond theater to popular forms of museum display. The Scandinavian wax museums and folk-ethnographic displays of the era helped pre-cinematic spectators work out the social implications of both voyeuristic and immersive display techniques. This careful study thus anticipates some of the central paradoxes of twentieth-century visual culturebut in a time when the mannequin and the physical relic reigned supreme, and in a place where the contrast between tradition and modernity was a high-stakes game.
