4. a published booklet explaining the principles of resiliences, new knowledge gained through the artistic research process, interviews with the creators, and vocabulary

5. participatory practice introduced to the audience members of the performance lecture reactivating their own individual capacities to contribute to thesustainable community social solutions to the current social and geopolitical crises

6. interviews in media

7. the conference “Facets of Resilience,’ organized in the frame of the Czech EU Council Presidency, where the performance lecture is presented together with scientific program and NGO workshops This project has had a strong impact in the Czech public space and contributed to change of mindset from the duality strong–weak towards resilience in performance through art.

THE SUSTAINABLES

YEVU

PRINT WORKS

ETHICALLY MADE. COLOURFULLY COOL.

But then there is that emerging brand scoring serious goals off the seasonal fashion pitch. Moving the goal posts of ethically-made apparel while playing prints at the top of its game.

As brands go, YEVU fits the bill perfectly. Take a very West African aesthetic, with its circus of wax Ghanaian prints and roaring colours, and curl it tightly around a vision to evoke a yearning for sustainable and ethically produced designs pulsating with cultural heritage right here on Australian turf. This was Anna Robertson’s dream objective, and back in October 2013 on Surrey Hills’ Cleveland Street, in a two-week pop-up store sliced short by a surprisingly ripe demand for prints on prints, it rapidly came true.

    If you ask Robertson how Sydney became the perfect backdrop for a taste of Ghana, the tale is a true holiday romance. Venturing to Accra for a year, the traveller fell deeply in love with the West African print world, working as an AusAID ambassador by day and melting over the wax-printed fabrics filling market stalls every minute in between. She frequented local markets chasing a slew of desirable prints. She befriended local seamstresses, challenging them to go against the grain and marry the contemporary with the traditional, stitching her aesthetic into a duffle coat and organically progressing to ‘eighties bomber jackets, high-waisted skirts and matchy-matchy ensembles. Thus, her debut YEVU collection for men and women was spontaneously conceived and finally delivered in Australia, educating Sydney on the grassroots production of West African clothing while colouring the city with a hearty dash of African spirit.   

 Six years and one swelling deck of prints later, the brand shows no signs of slowing down on a road paved with style and social responsibility. Since the hour of its sartorial birth, Robertson has unleashed a lean strategy with a long-term purpose - to help create income opportunities for women who have limited access to formal employment. What has bloomed is a humble sisterhood that has sparked the ambition, professional development, and income stream of Ghanaian female talent while braving the elements of tough retail waters.  

 Beyond the designs, the ripple effect is still moving. YEVU has launched an apprenticeship programme sponsoring the training of young women who have left their communities and schooling because of financial hardship, giving them a coveted opportunity to rise through the ranks of design production. Employment is no longer haughty or untouchable. In this brand, leveraging the circular approach to training staff where women learn the craft and share their knowledge with green employees who are hungry to succeed is a USP worth it's salt.  

 And the prints are at the epicentre. When we talk YEVU, we are speaking of a new vocabulary of dress that is spoken by that cool kid with a daring style appeal and a free-spirited sense of self. It’s a fresh language Robertson is proud of and rightly so. The fusion of colour, myriad of patterns, and raw sense of style confidence that each piece boasts waters a drought down under for wildcard fashion lines with an ethical twist.  

 YEVU is available online at yevuclothing.com. Also, watch out for the print playground ‘poppin’ up’ in Sydney, Melbourne, and beyond.

#QuoteOfTheDay (202207014): “Allah tempat meminta segala sesuatu.” (QS. Al-Ikhlas: 2) Imam Ibnu Jarir ath-Thabari dalam tafsir beliau meriwayatkan ucapan Ibnu ‘Abbas ra, “Ash-Shamad adalah penguasa yang maha sempurna kekuasaan-Nya, maha mulia yang sempurna kemuliaan-Nya, maha agung yang sempurna keagungan-Nya, maha penyantun yang sempurna sifat penyantun-Nya, maha kaya yang sempurna kekayaan-Nya, maha perkasa yang sempurna keperkasaan-Nya, maha mengetahui yang sempurna pengetahuan-Nya, dan maha bijaksana yang sempurna kebijaksanaan-Nya, Dialah yang maha sempurna dalam semua bentuk kemuliaan dan kekuasaan.” Dengan segala kesempurnaan sifat-sifat, kemuliaan dan keagungan Allah, semestinya tiada keraguan bagi seorang hamba untuk meminta pemenuhan kebutuhan dan keinginannya. “Hanya kepada Engkaulah kami menyembah dan hanya kepada Engkaulah kami mohon pertolongan.” (QS.

Actions in regards to the energy flow of today. We can play a critical role in society remaining fearlessly dedicated to the path of transformation. It is not a glamorous job working behind the scenes to stabilize the grounds and preparing for the hunt, but it is essential. We need to keep our focus on the transformation and building the new foundations that are needed for this work that is to come. The hunter needs to know what it is hunting and why? Then it needs to wield the correct tool for that hunt to be successful. #hunter #mystic #thesustainer #actionsoftheday #cardsoftheday #cardreader #oracle #blacklivesmatter #action #foundation #knowingwhattooldtouse #planning https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRDv3khO5N/?igshid=1r2bqmesolwut

This can be very inconvenient

Unlike a carpet steam cleaner, a steam cleaning unit does, infact, use steam during the cleaning process. This is very effectivein loosening sticky residue, stubborn stains, and ground-in dirt thatmay have settled deep into the carpet. These units havethe rugged cleaning power needed to tackle some of the toughestcleaning applications.A carpet steam cleaner with low water flow technology will relymore on suction and extraction capabilities to remove dirt and debris.The high temperatures may also damage to certain sensitive carpetingmaterial, like to woollen or synthetic carpets. These units use hot waterthat is heated to temperatures of up to 210°F. Unfortunately, these units lack thesustained cleaning power needed to clean large stretches of carpeting. The damp carpet can also provide the perfect place forgerms and bacteria to take root and grow. A carpet steam cleaning unitdoes not use steam for cleaning- it may release steam while cleaning,since the unit does clean with hot water. 

This carpet cleaning equipmentcan be very useful in humid climates, where drying times may be anissue.Investing in the wrong one may cause damage to certain kinds ofcarpeting.This can be very inconvenient, since it can take a long time to dry outpletely. Both these units are greatcleaning machines on their own, but they are two very different kindsof machines. Unfortunately, a carpet steam cleaning machineoften gets confused with a steam cleaner. These units also have extractioncapabilities which easily lift the softened residue out of the carpet. This means they are not just effective for cleaning, manye with sanitizing abilities too. But it’s very important to be clear aboutthe difference between these two machines. 

The best carpet cleaner will use less water for cleaning, which allows the carpet to dry out faster. Conventional carpet cleaningmachines and carpet cleaning equipment often use a lot of water forcleaning, which means the carpet is often very damp after cleaning. A carpet steam cleaning unit that uses less water for cleaningcan be the best carpet cleaner for a number of different jobs. These units usesuperheated water to melt away some of the toughest kinds of depositsfrom different surfaces. The steam generated can reach temperatures ofup to 386°F. 

After all, both of these use steam in some capacity and both can beused for cleaning carpets. Investing in the right one could lead to cleaner carpetsthat would last a long time. When looking for the right cleaning machine for your carpets,it’s important to understand the difference between these two units.Low Water FlowWhen looking for a carpet steam cleaner,look at how much water these units use.A carpet steam cleaner is certainly a formidable cleaning machine whenit es to mercial and industrial carpet cleaning. Germs and bacteria have a lesser chance to grow inthe damp material.  China wet wipes manufacturers  .These kinds of carpet cleaning machines can reduce the overall dryingtime considerably. The Difference is in the SteamIt’s easy to get a carpet steam cleaner and a steam cleaning unit mixedup
