ModCloth joined Pinterest in the fall of 2011, but it’s already one of ModCloth.com’s top unpaid referral sites in terms of traffic and revenue. Why? According to Barnes, it’s thanks to “product photography and blog content that resonates with their audience.” ModCloth has approximately 7,000 pins tagged on Pinterest, and 99% of them are from advocates of the ModCloth brand and products, she adds.

Why Are Finland's Schools Successful? -- “Whatever it takes” is an attitude that drives not just Kirkkojarvi’s 30 teachers, but most of Finland’s 62,000 educators in 3,500 schools from Lapland to Turku—professionals selected from the top 10 percent of the nation’s graduates to earn a required master’s degree in education. “Whatever it takes” is an attitude that drives not just Kirkkojarvi’s 30 teachers, but most of Finland’s 62,000 educators in 3,500 schools from Lapland to Turku—professionals selected from the top 10 percent of the nation’s graduates to earn a required master’s degree in education.

Shattering the Chanel veneer, Hal Vaughan’s latest biography, “Sleeping With the Enemy: Coco Chanel’s Secret War,” lays ground that Coco Chanel was an anti-Semitic Nazi spy. One can assume that Chanel’s CEO, Maureen Chiquet, has met with her inveterate crisis communication team and is preparing the assault. Whichever way they turn (truthfully, we recommend)–and that should be within the next 24 hours–they will need to deal with Streisand effect. Whether you repudiate these accusations as a petulant expostulation or you sanction a formal inquiry (that could herald the death of the brand) you create the Streisand effect. The story is too big, too real, and symbolizes the irony of the Chanel franchise: Worn by few, loved by all.

"All the painfully-gathered German experience was expressed on this occasion," Churchill wrote of the infamous Dec. 29th raid. "It was an incendiary classic. The weight of the attack was concentrated upon the City of London itself. It was timed to meet the dead-low-water hour. The water-mains were broken at the outset by very heavy high-explosive parachute-mines. Nearly fifteen hundred fires had to be fought. The damage to railway stations and docks was serious. Eight [Christopher] Wren churches were destroyed or damaged."

"I felt," Churchill recalled, "with a spasm of mental pain, a deep sense of the strain and suffering that was being borne throughout the world's largest capital city. How long would it go on? How much more would they have to bear? What were the limits of their vitality? What effects would their exhaustion have upon our productive war-making power?"

"British Open 'V' Nerve War; Churchill Spurs Resistance," blared a "special cable" headline in the New York Times on July 20, 1941. "Britain launched a unique nerve war against Germany last midnight," the article read," "with the double purpose of undermining German morale and solidifying anti-Nazi sentiment among the various countries conquered by Hitler. It was a war in which the battle cry was 'V for Victory.' Millions of people in Europe were called on to use the letter V on every occasion possible ... to chalk or paint the letter V on the walls of buildings, in the street, and in public conveyances. The mobilization of the vast army of men, women, and young people in European nations overrun by the Nazis was begun by a radio broadcast by the mystery man known as 'Colonel V. Britton' who read a special message from Prime Minister Winston Churchill."

The famed 102-story Art Deco tower in midtown Manhattan known as the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world from its completion on May 1, 1931, until the World Trade Center eclipsed it in 1972. It was the product of the labor of 3,400 men, and was finished on schedule and -- hold on to your hats -- well under budget. Estimated to cost 50 million, the entire project ultimately came in at closer to 41 million.

This picture released by the Chilean Air Force shows the cloud of ash billowing from Puyehue volcano near Osorno in southern Chile, 870 km south of Santiago, taken on June 5. Puyehue volcano erupted for the first time in half a century on June 4, prompting evacuations for 3500 people as it sent a cloud of ash that reached Argentina. The National Service of Geology and Mining said the explosion that sparked the eruption also produced a column of gas 10 kilometers high, hours after warning of strong seismic activity in the area.
