”You’re So Talented”
When Barbara Klar created her first piece of jewelry 50 years ago, she had no idea of the journey that lay before her. The entire process of designing and making "art to wear" intrigued Barbara-from the challenge of developing a vocabulary of skills to her participation in the entire history and tradition of metalsmithing. In 1979, upon moving to NYC with her first participation in a group show at Robert Lee Morris's "ArtWear" Gallery in SoHo, Barbara was introduced into a whole new concept that jewelry could be artistic, fashionable, wearable & saleable on a small production basis. Elements of fashion and history are fused into her designs. Influences from cultures such as Celtic, Egyptian and Native American as well as Contemporary Street Graffiti often come into play. Barbara's work has been worn by rock stars, featured in print, television and film and even worn to the Oscars & Cannes. Today, she creates Modern Heirlooms in her studio in Woodstock, NY. Within these pages is the story of Barbara's journey. There are bumps and failures, successes and rejections. It goes like this: "If I had a quarter for every time I heard 'You're so Talented' in my life, I'd be a wealthy woman. When I moved to NYC from Cleveland in 1979, I was fresh out of art school, completely unprepared and na簿ve. I pounded the pavement with my portfolio under my arm and looked for work in my craft. Eventually I started a business and now I say 'Talent' is only 5% of what it takes to be successful, let alone be happy. Today, success is not what I imagined it to be in 1979."

Lexy and Kaylee’s Advanced Sudoku for Adults and Teens Volume One
From the creators of Lexy and Kaylee's Canine Coloring Book for Children series now have put together an activity book for Adults and Teens. Inside there are 52 advanced 16x16 Sudoku Puzzles in an easy to carry 6 x 9 format. Great for taking with you on plane and train rides or to sit at the beach or by the pool.Sudoku, a number puzzle that has become a global phenomenon, has a history that can be traced back to several roots.Early Beginnings: The concept of Sudoku is often linked to the 18th-century Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. He developed a puzzle known as "Latin Squares," where each number or symbol appeared once in each row and column. However, these Latin Squares did not have the additional constraint of Sudoku's sub-grids.20th Century Developments: In the late 19th century, puzzles resembling Sudoku started appearing in French newspapers. These puzzles, created by Howard Garns, an American architect and freelance puzzle constructor, are often considered the precursors to modern Sudoku. Garns' puzzles were first published in 1979 in Dell Magazines under the name "Number Place."Modern Sudoku: The modern version of Sudoku as we know it was popularized in Japan. In 1984, the puzzle was introduced by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli, which named it "Sudoku," a short form of a Japanese phrase meaning "the digits must remain single." Nikoli made a few important modifications, including the introduction of symmetrical grids and the reduction of clues, which increased the puzzle's complexity and appeal.Global Popularity: Sudoku's global popularity surged in the early 2000s. Wayne Gould, a retired Hong Kong judge, discovered the puzzle in a Japanese bookstore and developed a computer program to generate Sudoku puzzles. He persuaded major newspapers like The Times in the UK to publish these puzzles, starting in 2004. This sparked a worldwide Sudoku craze, with the puzzle appearing in newspapers, books, and online platforms across the globe.Present Day: Today, Sudoku remains a beloved pastime for millions. It has various forms and difficulty levels and is featured in international competitions. It has inspired numerous spin-offs and variations, cementing its place as a staple of modern puzzle games.
