Navigating the expanding e-communications compliance perimeter discusses the challenges firms face in managing regulatory requirements for electronic communications. As the use of technologies like social media, mobile, and collaboration tools has grown, regulations have expanded to require retaining records of communications on these channels. However, many firms still have compliance gaps and do not properly retain and supervise content on all channels. The presentation recommends implementing policies and procedures, training, and technology that can archive, search, and enforce retention of electronic communications across multiple platforms. This will help firms address their expanding regulatory obligations as rules continue to intensify oversight of electronic communications.Social Media Policy Essentials for Lenders and Brokers

Gunta Stölzl was an artist known for her textile designs while working at the influential Bauhaus school in Germany. This watercolor sketch called "Doubleweave Block" illustrates her preliminary concept for a complex woven textile using a technique called double-weave that employs two sets of yarn to create two distinct textile surfaces joined together. Though a loose sketch, it served to develop her initial ideas that could then be translated into detailed plans and specifications for actual woven textile production if pursued further. The sketch exemplifies the Bauhaus aim to unite craft and fine arts.

This document outlines an assignment for students to engage in the art of "yarn-bombing" by crocheting or knitting textiles to cover areas around the art school. Students will be divided into groups and each group must choose a space to cover, considering factors like time, how the piece will blend in or stand out, and how color and texture will be used. Each group must present their plans and ideas visually and verbally, addressing the techniques used, the project form, how it relates to the space, and any legal issues. Individual assignments include making crochet and knitting samples while the group assignment is to complete the yarn bombing project.Weave a collection

Shibori is a Japanese technique for resist dyeing fabric using binding, folding, clamping or wrapping techniques to create patterned areas of dyed and undyed fabric. Some key techniques include itajime (pleating and clamping), arashi (wrapping fabric around a pole), and kumo (binding fabric in gathered areas using thread). Shibori originated in Japan over 1300 years ago and was traditionally done using indigo dye on silk or cotton. It allows the dyer to work with the fabric to create unexpected patterns in a natural, non-overpowering way.Assignment3 resistdyeing

The art of embroidery has existed for over 30,000 years, originating in places like China and the Middle East. It began as a way to join animal skins but evolved into an embellishment for clothing. Different cultures developed unique embroidery techniques using materials available to them. Embroidery was especially important in medieval Islamic societies and was used decoratively on many items of clothing, decor, and more. In Europe, elaborate gold embroidery known as Opus Anglicanum became prestigious. Samplers were also embroidered by young girls as part of their training. Contemporary embroidery takes many artistic forms around the world today.More Related Content

Felting
FeltingErin Moore
Ìý
Felt is a non-woven fabric produced by matting, condensing and pressing wool fibers. It has been produced for over 8,000 years using heat, pressure and moisture to cause the fibers to interlock. Wool fibers have scales that allow them to stitch together when rubbed with water and friction. Early felt artifacts have been found in Siberia and it was used by various cultures for clothing, tents, armor and other purposes due to its strength when wet. Traditional Mongolian feltmaking involves layering wool, spreading water on it, and rolling it while applying pressure to fully mat the fibers together.Shibori
ShiboriErin Moore
Ìý
Shibori is a Japanese technique for resist dyeing fabric using binding, twisting, folding, clamping or other methods to pattern or shape the fabric before dyeing. The word comes from the Japanese verb meaning "to wring" or "to squeeze". Traditional shibori uses indigo dye and creates patterns through techniques like binding fabric in tight knots (itajime), stitching along folds (ori-nui), wrapping fabric around poles (arashi), and pleating and clamping (itame). Shibori was originally practiced by peasants in Japan as a way to make old fabrics look new and has evolved into an art form using natural dyes.Embroidery
EmbroideryErin Moore

Embroidery has been practiced since ancient times in cultures around the world as a way to decorate and reinforce clothing, becoming a status symbol denoting wealth. During the Medieval period in Europe, embroidery developed into a fine art practiced by both men and women, often using gold and silver threads and beads to depict religious and historical scenes. Contemporary embroidery artists continue experimenting with new materials and techniques to comment on social and environmental issues.
