WATCH LIVE: Coast Guard gives update after debris field found near Titanic during search for missing sub

The U.S. Coast Guard says a debris field has been found near the Titanic as rescuers search for a missing submersible en route to the ship’s wreckage. The Coast Guard put the statement on Twitter on Thursday. The search for the Titan has passed the critical 96-hour mark when breathable air could have run out. The Titan submersible was estimated to have about a four-day supply of breathable air when it launched Sunday morning in the North Atlantic. But experts have emphasized that was an approximation and could be extended if passengers have taken measures to conserve breathable air.

Scotland.

Highland, Argyll – Invernessshire: Glencoe – Fort William – Diary of a visionary

  • Gathering”

(Highlands, Argyll – Inverness-shire: Glencoe – Fort William)

The Scottish Highlands met us with beautiful landscapes, majestic gorges and impregnable mountains, though not very high at first glance. The road from the four-lane highway to Stirling turned into a local small path and in the direction of Fort William gradually grew into a path straying between numerous “suckers” and mountains, where at the turn you can barely miss a truck at full gallop.

On the other hand, the cultivated fields on the sides of the road grew into forests, from which, quite unexpectedly, long lakes or sea bays emerged in deep gorges between mountain ranges – on the local gallic “Lochs” (Lochs), in open places – vast valleys, or “glens” (Glens), where cultivated land alternates with virgin wilderness.

Closer to the west coast of Scotland, already in Argyll, nature became more severe and we entered the territory of Glencoe, a nature reserve and winter ski resort, from where a large number of hiking trails depart. A long valley with many small streams and almost no trees, all sorts of northern grasses, moss, delicate flowers everywhere, a sort of “sample” of Northern Scotland, which we have not yet reached.

At the entrance to Fort William (Fort William) charged a real North Atlantic rain, familiar to us from trips to Ireland and Norway. That is, water pours from the sky in many small streams, something like from a shower with little pressure, and you hardly notice them, until at one fine moment you find that you are wet to the underwear. Now I understand where the word “showers” comes from in English. And, probably, somehow it should happen when, at the first heights, the abundant evaporation of the Atlantic rains down on the earth.

Fort William is a small town in the Scottish Highlands, Invernessshire (and at the same time the second largest after Inverness), located at the foot of the largest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis, reaching a height of as much as 1344 meters. We will somehow allocate time separately for climbing Ben Nevis, but for now you can walk along the main restaurant street and try the local expensive Guinness.

Roads practically without a curb, but in key places they are equipped with convenient small parking lots. So you can drive everywhere and see everything, and Scotland is a very comfortable country for traveling by car.

The next day in Oban bought local whiskey. We realized that we still do not like whiskey. We couldn’t drink then.

If you don’t drink whiskey, then in Scotland it’s great with Australian and New Zealand wine.

Argyle pattern – BRANDSHOP — LiveJournal

Argyle pattern

Lozenges around the perimeter of vests, sweaters and socks became popular a hundred years ago. The argyle pattern was a symbol of aristocracy and wealth. Now, of course, divisions by status are not evaluated by the presence of such a wardrobe item. However, the pattern still remains a sign of refined taste and elegance. Rhombuses, arranged in a checkerboard pattern, are created by interlacing many threads of different shades.

The history of the appearance of the argyle pattern

There are two versions, one of them is known to everyone and, in our opinion, is quite real. In one of the provinces of Scotland, the Campbell clan lived, whose kilts were decorated with a similar pattern. Back in the 17th century, the Scots flaunted in checkered robes, standing out from other clans. As is known from history, each clan had its own pattern (tartan), by which they were distinguished. But when the industry moved far ahead by the beginning of the 20th century, it became possible for any consumer to produce fabrics with similar patterns.

The second version of the appearance, so to speak, is alternative. Some say that the pattern was based on the St. Andrew’s flag (the national flag of Scotland). On the flag, one can distinguish triangles rather than rhombuses. Despite this, the version also has a place to be.

Brands using Argyle

Robert Pringle was the first to use the pattern in the production of clothes for aristocrats and ordinary people. The specific cage, having contrasting lines along the contour, fell in love with the members of the royal family. So the founder of the Pringle of Scotland brand gained unprecedented popularity. After all, the Prince of Wales himself, Edward VIII, wore his knee socks for a golf game. The peak of the popularity of the pattern fell on the 20-30s of the XX century. At the same time, Pringle of Scotland released pullovers and sleeveless V-necks. Until now, this piece of clothing is considered a distinctive feature of fashionistas from high society. Millionaires and athletes in sports such as tennis and golf, which were considered entertainment for aristocrats, often purchased such sweaters. The company produced two main types of pattern: two-color and three-color.

Burlington was and still is another equally popular brand using the Argyle pattern. Spencer Love, who created the textile empire, oddly enough, is known to the general public precisely by creating socks with such an ornament. Burlington Socks still release patterned textiles to this day, bringing new touches and shades. It was their socks that surpassed even the aforementioned Pringle of Scotland in popularity and became the hallmark of the brand.

British leaders still prefer argyle patterns, Prince Charles loves lozenge knee-highs. Michelle Obama also follows the British trendy and wears a pullover with such an ornament. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld even created a separate collection in 2013 entirely dedicated to the famous cage. Vivienne Westwood loves to add bright accents to the collections, using the same unique argyle.

In addition, the pattern can be found in the collections of Tommy Hilfiger and Givenchy. Someone uses them as an addition, someone uses the ornament as the main direction of the collection. Ralph Lauren completes a classic British look with patterned stockings. The rebirth of the kilt does not end there. To date, in the form of rhombuses, they create fabric for furniture, wallpaper, and even do manicures in a similar style.

Rhombuses, made using a special weaving technology and distinguished by bright and at the same time moderate color combinations, are liked by both aristocrats and lovers of an unusual style of clothing. Musicians and film industry workers often emphasize this check in their clothes.
