# Stalać Fortress

Stalać Fortress is a historic fortress in the town of Stalać (pronounced). It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of present-day Kruševac, on a hill overlooking the confluence of West and South Morava.
Stalać Fortress has a status of a Cultural Monument of Great Importance in the Republic of Serbia.

## History

The fort was built at the same time as Kruševac, by prince Lazar of Serbia. The town was built on a wide plateau - a strategic place that controlled westward communications. For the first time Stalać is mentioned in 1377 in a charter of prince Lazar, and later in a charter of princess Milica in 1395. Philosopher Constantine of Kostenets, mentions that in 1413 Musa Çelebi raided Stalać and razed it.
After these sufferings, Stalać is not mentioned anymore, neither in Turkish nor Hungarian sources on their respective military campaigns. It must be that the fortification was no more in use or worth mentioning. It could be that the level of destruction of the ramparts, towers and the size of the fortification made reconstruction difficult and hard, plus the fact that Stalać lost its strategic importance as it found itself far back in the background of Turkish goal for conquests.
During his voyage in 1433 Bertrandon de la Broquière mentioned Stalać and its ruins in his notes. Felix Kanitz also left a note on Stalać, as he traveled through these regions in the middle of 19th century.

# Jasmin Shokrian

Jasmin Shokrian is an American, Los Angeles–based artist, and fashion designer. Shokrian is known for her artistic sensibility and the sculptural lines of her clothes, which have become popular among art world figures like China Chow and Miranda July. In November 2014, she opened a month-long shop-in-shop inside the MOCA Store at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Born and raised in L.A., Shokrian received her Bachelor in Fine Arts in film, sculpture and painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She started her eponymous fashion label in 2003, and in 2005 she was the recipient of the fourth annual Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award for Womenswear Design. The award allowed her to present her first runway show at New York Fashion Week, for the Autumn/Winter 2005 collections, and her debut received praise from critics, including Cathy Horyn of the New York Times. She has since been covered by publications like Vogue, W and T: The New York Times Style Magazine, and she regularly shows her collections via film as part of Style.com's Video Fashion Week.
In 2008, she established Draft No. 17, an offshoot label focused on day-to-night basics priced more accessibly than her Atelier line, which utilized couture fabrics and was made entirely in-house. In Vanity Fair's 2009 Best Dressed List, Shokrian was mentioned by First Lady Michelle Obama as one of her favorite up-and-coming designers. The First Lady has also worn Shokrian's designs publicly, both in New York and at the White House. In 2010, Shokrian teamed up with the band OK Go as the costume designer for their "WTF" music video.
As part of her Spring/Summer 2014 collection, presented in September 2013, Jasmin Shokrian introduced her "Je Pars Habiter A Los Angeles" (I'm going to live in Los Angeles) T-shirt, a riff on the seemingly-sudden interest in L.A. among Parisians and other fashion types. The tongue-in-cheek slogan has since appeared on her tote bags, sweatshirts and first-ever men's items, and continues to drive interest in the brand.

# Maria Chessa Lai

Maria Chessa Lai (15 February 1922 in Monti – 7 February 2012 in Alghero) was an Italian poet writing in the Catalan Algherese dialect. She was three times winner of the Premio Ozieri awarded annually for the best new poetry written in a Sardinian minority language. As a bilingual poet she published her poems simultaneously in Algherese and Italian. The majority of her work was collected together and published in the volume La Mia Mar in 2005. Sixty nine of her poems translated into english were published in 2021, in a bilingual Catalan/English edition, under the title: Collected Poems/ Recull de poesies de l'Alguer—including this extract from the poem called Marçanella Helichrysum Golden Sun
   ... Within its flowers the reflection of clear light. And when in the quiet of those hours the flower that bloomed then desists upon the path at the rim of the crumbling abyss it yet persists intenser in strength within its aromatic existence. [Collected Poems 2021]
Chessa Lai was the mother of the journalist, academic, and writer Pasquale Chessa.
# Marginal factor cost

In microeconomics, the marginal factor cost (MFC) is the increment to total costs paid for a factor of production resulting from a one-unit increase in the amount of the factor employed. It is expressed in currency units per incremental unit of a factor of production (input), such as labor, per unit of time. In the case of the labor input, for example, if the wage rate paid is unaffected by the number of units of labor hired, the marginal factor cost is identical to the wage rate. However, if hiring another unit of labor drives up the wage rate that must be paid to all existing units of labor employed, then the marginal cost of the labor factor is higher than the wage rate paid to the last unit because it also includes the increment to the rates paid to the other units.
Thus for any factor the MFC is the change in total amount paid for all units of that factor divided by the change in the quantity of that factor employed.
A firm that wants to optimize its profits hires each factor up to the point at which its marginal factor cost equals its marginal revenue product (MFC=MRP).
Marginal factor cost is an important concept in economics, as it helps to determine the optimal level of production for a good or service.
