Don Ressler And Adam Goldenberg Serial Entrepreneurs With Passion For Building Successful Brands
In the corporate world of the United States, two of the most famous entrepreneurs are Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg. They are known to be serial entrepreneurs who have started many successful ventures, individually and together throughout their career.
They have ventured into different sectors during their journey in the business world and even started internet retail stores like Sensa and Dermastore together. Read more; TechStyle corporate leadership
It is what gave Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler a sneak peeked into the booming fashion and beauty sector and convinced them that it is the industry they should focus on going forward. It is how they started JustFab, presently known as Techstyle Fashion Group, came into being in the year 2010.
The company got a huge funding of $33 million in 2011, which helped them to structure their business further and add fuel to their expansion measures.
Fabletics, an athleisure brand that Don and Adam started in the year 2010, and which is a part of the Techstyle Fashion Group, has grown to become a pioneering brand in the athleisure market. The reason the parent company is called Techstyle Fashion Group is that the firm and its founders use the power of technology to get leverage in their business.
Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler depend heavily on sales and marketing data as well as market trends to analyze and implement business moves that would help get results. Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg use the data analytics to their advantage to understand what customers are looking for and where the market is heading.
Pando revealed that the efforts made by Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler, who presently serve as co-CEO of Techstyle Fashion Group, have helped in making the company a multi-million dollar firm.
The success story of Fabletics has inspired many of the young entrepreneurs as well to start their journey in the toughest of sectors. At the time when Fabletics made its name in the athleisure world, e-commerce companies like Amazon already dominated the online fashion market with twenty percent market share.
However, Don Ressler and Adam Goldenberg designed the marketing strategy in a very innovative manner to ensure that it not only penetrate the market but makes a strong foothold as well.
Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler have been entrepreneurs from the very young age and have seen the corporate world very carefully to know what works and what doesn't, and it is this understanding that has helped them to build a brand from scratch and take over the fashion giants.

About This Class
In this course, students will screen numerous independently produced feature films and meet the filmmakers. You will learn how they got their movies made. Each class discussion will center on development, financing, production and distribution. You will come away with a full understanding of the challenges facing independent filmmakers and you will benefit from the lessons learned from the guest speakers we meet.

Young Kid Sends Valentines Cards With Ring Pops To The Atlanta Falcons So "They Can Have Rings Too"
Since winning Super Bowl 51, the New England Patriots and their fans have been trolling the heck out of Commissioner Roger Goodell after he had QB Tom Brady suspended for the first 4 games of the season.
Speaking of trolling, one young kid decided to help out the Atlanta Falcons, who are probably still wondering how they squandered a 28-3 lead in the second half before eventually losing in OT.
According to his his father, he wanted the Falcons to be Champions as well, so he sent them Ring Pops so that "they can feel what it's like to get rings too."

The first time I tried Udon was at Hapa Izakaya, a Japanese restaurant in Yaletown (Vancouver, B.C.). On the menu, there was an option with chicken. But the staff was kind enough to prepare a vegan version for me with tofu and veggies.
It was a delight, considering that I had just left another restaurant (a famous chain at Robson Street) where I'd been told that they wouldn't accommodate my dietary restrictions because they were not a vegan restaurant.
Udon is a thick wheat flour noodle popular in Japan. Chewy and soft, it's considered best when fresh. Dried Udon has a more dense texture, which is really different. Its flavour is neutral , so the taste will depend on your creativity and preferences.
According to many food websites, Udon is usually served cold in summer and hot in winter. If you follow a plant-based diet, know that there are dozens of Udon-based vegan recipes. You can find some here.
I had a few packages of dried Udon. It's always practical when I'm in a hurry, but still want to eat at home. Yesterday I made a stir-fry using only the noodles and veggies. It was yummy.
If you like its texture, go ahead. Udon can be simple and quick to make — perfect for someone with a busy schedule. Just chop a few veggies and voilà. It's ready.
- 1 package (200 g) of Udon (carb | fibre | iron)
- 1 large carrot (vitamin A)
- 3 large broccoli florets (vitamin C)
- 1 small yellow pepper (vitamin C)
- 1 small orange pepper (vitamin C)
- 2 handfuls of spinach (iron)
- 1 handful of parsley (vitamins C and A)
- onion (vitamin C)
- soy sauce (magnesium) – it's high in sodium, so consume it with moderation
- black pepper (iron | calcium)
- Himalayan salt
- sunflower oil
- 1 handful of pecan
Directions 1
- Finely chop the onion, carrot, broccoli, peppers, spinach and parsley.
- Reserve.
Directions 2
- In a frying pan, heat the oil at medium temperature.
- Add the onion.
- When the onion is golden, add the carrot and broccoli. Stir.
- When they look soft, add the peppers. Stir.
- Add Udon and cover it for 5 minutes. Stir.
- When they're all cooked, add the spinach and parsley. Stir.
- Add black pepper and salt to taste.
- Add soy sauce to taste and stir for 5 minutes.
- Remove it from heat.
- Pour pecan on top.
Serves: 1 person.
This is a simple recipe and you can build upon it. When you do it, could you please come back and tell me what you made?

9 years peoples... 9!
4 comments:
Freaking guys and forgetting the dating anniversary! lol.. I'll celebrate with you!! :) Happy Anniversary!!!!ReplyDelete
Love it! Mike and I don't have a dating anniversary exactly (I'm in the midst of telling the very long story of how we started dating right now), but it was around this time of year, so I always count the number of years we've been together approximately from October/November 2004. Sometimes I use my birthday as the "official" start date since we went on our first "date" then, even though Mike didn't think we were dating. (Like I said, long story) :)ReplyDelete
I've always wondered what happens to a dating relationship after getting married. It seems kind of strange to "start over" in a way. In April of next year, my boyfriend and I will have been together for 9 years (and I'm 25 - holy crap). But once we get married...we start over at 1?ReplyDelete
I'm with you on this one - happy 9 years! (Or 2 years and 4 months)
:) Awe! Happy Anniversary!!!ReplyDelete
Dirty rotten boys! They try to get out of everything! ;)
The best part of blogging is hearing from my readers, so share your thoughts and ideas... or just say "hi"!

"If you're really as tough as your defenses
Let them fall"
and not
"But he has taught as your defenses and let them fall."
Also "There's no one stops" there is no "There" at the beginning of that.
Still, this has to be my favorite track from their demos for the new album. It's just the right combination of love, sadness, and pop melody. A perfect JEW song.
For me, it's their traditional relationship song. He's with a girl that most can't see the depth of. Even though he sees more in her than just her outer appearance, she still puts him through foolish games and situations. She does it as some sort of defense mechanism to prevent herself from getting too close to him. She cares for him, but she's proceeding like a little girl about it all. She's not trying to push him away, and he knows that, that's why he tells her to "stop", because if she continues it will ruin them.
That's just how I view it. It oddly reflects something I'm going through. Well, just went through. Still, I love this track out of the bunch. The album is very nice, but this is the standout track, for me.

Your menstrual cycle is a part of reproduction. During each "cycle," an egg is produced and your body readies itself for pregnancy. If you don't become pregnant, then you get your period. Typically, a menstrual cycle is 28 days, although it is normal to have a cycle that is shorter or longer. Day 1 of your cycle is the first day of your period (the day you first see blood). That is the day the entire reproductive cycle starts over.
Menstrual cramps are contractions in the uterus, which is a muscle. To relieve or lessen cramping, take a pain reliever such as Pamprin. You can place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your lower abdomen for further relief, and taking a warm bath can also help. FYI, women who exercise regularly are likely to have less menstrual pain. Lastly, if you experience severe cramping for 2 or 3 days, contact your doctor.
Your period is a wonderful thing. Pay attention to it. Record what day you start each month, how many days your period lasts, what symptoms you have (if any) and when during the month you have them. Note anything that seems unusual month to month. This is all good information to know and to share with your doctor. The more you know about your body and your cycle, the better.

Open Source iOS Component For Neatly Getting User Permissions
I've mentioned a few libraries that make it easier to make use of the concept of pre-permissions – notifying the user of why you need their permission for access to a specific iOS feature (such as location, or contacts) before asking them for permission to greatly increase the chances that the user will say yes rather than simply prompting them for permissions.
Here's an open source component from Nick O'Neill inspired by the Periscope app providing a great interface for asking users for permission called PermissionScope.
PermissionScope allows you to easily create views where you can explain why you need permission to users, and also allow users to easily see their current permission status within your app, and you can detect permission status' through Permissionscope to prompt users to change the current permission status.
Here are a couple of images in the readme showing PermissionScope in action:
You can find PermissionScope on Github here.
A great component for gathering user permissions.

The situation right now is this: we are staying for a few days in the great state of Virginia (boo!)* in a tent (yay!) in a condo (what?). It is C's friend's uninhabited and unfurnished condo - as I look around the room right now, the only things in here are the two of us sitting on the floor with our respective Apple computers, my flip flops, and a promotional-sized box of cereal.
A little bit ago, I woke up and climbed out of the tent with no sense of what time it was. I heard some voices outside the door, and in a sleepy haze thought, "I hope that's not a realtor trying to show this place." Then the doorbell rang, because it was a realtor, trying to show this place. C. and I scrambled to put clothes on and put most of our belongings out of sight, and then we let the realtor and an unsuspecting couple in. Pretty sure all three of them thought we were squatters, or maybe just weirdos - tent in the bedroom, no furniture, random assortment of things. They left in under three minutes. The day is ours!
*Just kidding, Virginia. We are having a really good time in the loving arms of Old Dominion.

The Bottom Line
Have corporate-governance changes helped or hurt? And where do we go from here? Two experts square off.
The corporate-governance reforms enacted in 2002 weren't the end of a discussion, but the beginning. In the past year, executives, directors, shareholders and regulators have engaged in an extended debate about how to interpret the changes, where they fell short and where they overreached.
To capture the flavor of this continuing conversation, we instigated a debate between David C. Farrell, vice president and chief compliance officer of Sun Microsystems Inc., the maker of software and large computer servers in Santa Clara,...

By Sweta Patel
Most businesses want to know how they can grow without having a marketing budget. There are a couple of options to bypass marketing. The first way is to be a franchise and pay a franchise fee and have them bring you customers and leads. Otherwise, you can try to create a world-class product or service that people can't live without.
Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
Lets have a look at this again from a different perspective. In most cases, both established businesses and startups need marketing dollars to be allocated to different tactics and strategies. They need to always have new customers and people in their pipeline to sell to.
One way to do this us create a social engagement circle. This is a naturally reinforcing technique that helps your business attract new customers as well as excite and re-engage the customers you already have. Let's go through four steps:
Recognize Progress and Send Rewards
When you keep a public count of users, and rewards for signing up and becoming more engaged, then more people will want to join. This can be done through a "cash certificate" or a point system. You can give customers a "cash certificate" to use towards the other services the business offers. This is a form of re-engaging the customer and having them come back for other services. The business can also carry out this part of the strategy through social recognition. Give the audience a chance to move up in the hierarchy. For example, LinkedIn does through marking people as influencers.
Best Practice: Award your target audience badges based on engagement levels and turn the business into a social game of fun!
Leverage Psychological Motivation
Most people don't do things unless they have an incentive to do them. The desire to execute a certain action has to be there. Twitter does a great job of this by encouraging the desire to have more followers. How do they do this? By acquiring more followers you are seen as a bigger authority in your niche. The more authority you have, the more people listen to you.
Best Practice: Think about what your target audience really wants in the long term. Then think about how you can instantly gratify the audience in the short-term and carry it out.
Use a Social Call to Action
Businesses struggle with the call to action and adding a social aspect to it. How can you add that extra dose of fun through social action? Simple. Twitter carries this out through @replies and direct messages. LinkedIn does this through endorsements. Both established businesses and startups have the ability to add a social aspect to their marketing. They can do so by creating calls to action based on community building. This means allowing all your customers to interact with each another and form alliances. For example, one of the startups we worked with added user interests so customers could share it with their friends.
Best Practice: Think of five different messages which include your unique selling point. Then install the "Click To Tweet" plug-in so your fans can virally spread the word about your business. Create a call-to-action where it is difficult for the user NOT to engage.
Re-engage Your Circle of Customers
Can you send emails to let the users know their friends are missing all the fun if they don't join in? Make sure email notifications and text notifications are sent on a regular basis. This can be to reward the user, or to remind them to come back. We used CallLoop for the first time to have the direct communication with our users. It worked beautifully and we got them to attend many of the live, streaming events we hosted in order to acquire more users.
Best Practice: Find a communication resource that will make your company appeal powerfully. For example, text message marketing is a direct form of communication and we use it more than email. Why? Too many business owners are using email.
Once your social engagement circle is operating smoothly, you can move to publicity and public relations.
Out-Of-The-Box Publicity Stunt
Phenomenal and creative publicity stunts are hard to find nowadays. My favorite publicity stunt was executed by WePay.com when they created a 600-pound block of ice with the message inside: "PayPal Freezes Your Accounts!" This was thrown down at Moscone Center at a PayPal conference. Does it get any better than that? The best part about it was that they instantly received press coverage and it didn't cost them anything.
Best Practice: Drop the thought of hiring a high-cost PR firm and just get creative with your team. Think of who your competitors are and how you are better than they are. Then plan an execution strategy around how you can carry it out.
PR Without The High Cost
The secret to getting journalists to love your small business or startup is to pitch them with a laser-specific subject line. Businesses seem to feel like journalists are scary gatekeepers. They aren't. Create a subject line that catches their attention. For example:
- Bad subject line: New Business Launches in San Diego
- Good subject line: Digital Marketing Business Launching in San Diego This Week Gives Away 5643 FREE Consultations
Make sure you keep it short, relevant and clear. It should focus on who, what, when, where and how. It would be best to just send them details about the product and service through a story. Do not go off on a tangent trying to razzle and dazzle a journalist. Use a few sentences to describe what you are trying to do with your pitch.
Most importantly, don't just send them an email without building a relationship.
Best Practice: Minimize your cost by using a service like PRReach.com. It offers self-service for press releases.

The North Miami Beach library is conducting a survey and wants feedback from residents and patrons on services.
The survey will remain open on the city's website until Sept. 20 and asks residents to rank services and offer suggestions for new programming and other improvements.
Library manager Edenia Hernandez, who has led the department for two years, said she hopes to see more engagement with the survey than the library had last year.
"The more feedback we have, the more the governing body can see what the value of the library is," Hernandez said.
About 275 people completed the survey last year and Hernandez said their main focuses were on increased programming for children and teenagers and additional partnerships with local schools. The responses also included requests to add more electrical outlets and study rooms.
Hernandez said that working with schools is one of the major things she's wanted to push and is open to ideas from residents. The library has partnered with schools this year to attend open houses and discuss the available programming.
"I come from an education background and libraries are a part of the educational system," Hernandez said. "From the moment I got here I made that one of my priorities."
And despite last year's somewhat small sample size, Hernandez believes there are people engaged with the library. She estimated that about 38 percent of city's more than 43,000 residents have library cards.
"We're really looking forward to making an impact on education in North Miami Beach," Hernandez said. "My goal is to make sure we give these children an opportunity."
The city is also conducting on a survey seeking feedback on the city's various pools. City leaders recently discussed a North Miami Beach parks master plan and community members have emphasized increased access to city pools and a wider variety of activities.
Parks and recreation director Paulette Murphy said they have considered all of the feedback so far and think the survey will help them prioritize.
"There are some other opportunities there in terms of splash pads and water playgrounds, but we're not quite there to say what's priority and what's not," Murphy said.
Murphy said decisions on extending and changing hours will be considered as will changing and adding programming, but the decision will ultimately come down to city leadership.
"The priority will be up to our city manager and our council who will have to eventually adopt the plan," Murphy said.
The pool survey will also be conducted for the next few weeks and both surveys are accessible through the city's homepage at citynmb.com.
"We don't have a specific target and date we're just ensuring that we're getting the word out," Murphy said.

Stamp collecting – a kingly hobby for everyone
Stamp collecting it a hobby that gained a high popularity among enthusiasts from around the world. Few people know that a hobby of stamp collecting became fashionable back in 1870, when the world's first museums were opened. Very soon this activity came to a new level - people began to sell, buy and exchange stamps. Nowadays philatelists create even topical collections devoted to animals, flora, geographical objects etc.
Due to our nature we need to collect something, to have some passion and a hobby that will inspire us. Even in childhood many of us tried to collect some cute and tiny things such as stickers, toy soldiers, organize and reorganize them. So, philatelism is not just collecting stamps. This is what makes many people from different parts of the world happy.
There are some cases when amateur philatelists who collect stamps for pleasure appear to be the owners of an item that is worth a million. There are many examples of such curious cases. So, once it was reported that a simple housewife who was into stamp collections found out that she possessed several items with a total cost of 200 thousand dollars. Such a godsend is terrific and surprising, isn`t it?
Some people turn their favorite hobby into a professional activity and earn millions while buying and selling the rare philatelic items. Although the number of stamp collectors who "get rich" from their stamp collections are few and far between, the possibility always exists that you might find a "rarity" in an old inherited stamp album, or a box of stamps purchased at a flea market.
Take, for example, the '"Inverted Jenny" stamp. Its owner sold this rare philatelic item for $1,175,000. In such a way a tiny piece of paper brought a real fortune to its owner. There is one more stamp rarity that has made one of the philately enthusiasts rich and happy. This is British Guiana 1c magenta that is regarded by many philatelists as the world's most famous rare stamp. It was sold on 17 June 2014 for $9,480,000 to Stuart Weitzman and this lot has broken the world record for a single stamp auction price.
So, the stamps, especially rare and so called "error' ones, can be a great investment. For instance, a rare 1841 Penny Red stamp, issued during Queen Victoria's reign is now worth £25,000, up from £22,000 a year ago. Another rare stamp is called "The Roses" and was printed in 1978 in the UK. It has a face value of 13p but nowadays it is worth £130,000 (because of a printing error). As a tendency shows more and more rare stamps increase in price and enrich the fortune of their owners.
In our wiki, intended for beginners, you can find interesting information about the history of stamps, their types, the procedure of their production and even about the forgeries that are so widespread in the world of philately.
For all those who want to get the additional info about philately we also prepared special articles about all USA Presidents commemorated on stamps (with the links for each item) and recommended literature related to this theme. So, browse our website and you will get much information about "the hobby of the kings" and will get a special opportunity to dive into the world of philately!

The International Leadership Association recently held its annual conference in San Diego, California. Titled Conscious Leading for Global Change: Emergence of our Collective Realities, I participated in this conference in several ways: presenting my dissertation at a poster presentation session and participating in the emerging scholars program. As part of the emerging scholars program, I was paired with Dr. Bill Gardner. His mentorship proved invaluable on my journey to finish my dissertation. The conference also led me to reflect about my own leadership capacity and my next steps as a practitioner.
In this post, I will focus on my reflections from a session and a lunch talk that I attended.
New Constructs: Leadership Development Efficacy
The New Constructs session discussed the importance of Leadership Development Efficacy and what it does for organizations, companies, and scholars. The concept of leader efficacy has received relatively little attention in the leadership literature (Hannah, Avolio, Luthans, & Harms, 2008). This is somewhat surprising given that effective leadership requires high levels of agency (i.e., deliberately or intentionally exerting positive influence), confidence, and self-efficacy.
Leader developmental efficacy is defined as someone's confidence in their ability to develop as a leader. There's an emphasis on development because it is conceptually different from someone's confidence in their ability to perform as a leader/lead. Please also note that this construct are still in press with the Leadership Quartley, please contact me if you have questions. This is a wider idea than the speakers in the session are working on and the theory is in development from Dr. Avolio.
What does Leadership Development Efficacy do?
Simply put, it allows us to find out who in an organization would get the most out of leadership development. This new construct could help determine if leadership development activities lead to a person having more intentions of developing other leaders, thus self-engaging in leadership development. Overall, I see value in this construct and feel once the measure is fully developed it could be highly valuable to Leadership and Organizational Development practitioners.
Reflections on Mindful Leading as a CEO
On October 30th, three CEOs came together discuss Mindful Leading. These executives made the lunch audience aware that mindful leading is not a fad and that it can be applied and has value across industries. During the panel discussion, each CEO pointed out different ways that they mindfully lead at the workplace. Multiple CEO's talked about family and the importance of re-focusing oneself by being grounded in one's family, health, and by participating a sport or other form of regular physical activity. There was an apparent notion from the CEO's that life was a part of work and it could not be separated.
Another topic they discussed was continual learning. One CEO explained that she asks for "re-do's" for tasks that she did not do correctly. She literally asks to re-do things she does wrong. Her reasoning is that no one person can have all the answers. Another CEO stated that he saw turnover as good for innovation, as it brings new minds into the organization. Overall, these CEO's made it evident that they believed culture could eat strategy for breakfast. The Reflections on Mindful Leading as a CEO lunch was a great opportunity to see how effective CEO's are running their organizations and to hear their takes on being a leader.

I was delighted by the feedback I got from my blog post about my "lost" green activism – people really resonated with the "reality check" of green living. We are all in the same boat – surrounded by these lifestyle books and blogs showing how awesome it is to live in bamboo houses with rainwater barrels and solar panels – but that's not life for most of us. And our efforts at any kind of activism (whether it's green living or diet or….) are heavily influenced by our emotional lives - the struggles we all face, the idealism we feel, our hopes and dreams, etc. But you wouldn't know that from looking at a lifestyle book/blog because everyone is so darn happy in every picture!
I've been thinking more and more about the efforts I used to make and how much my life changed as my relationship with my ex declined over the past four years and my last blog post really inspired me to take stock of these past few years and find out what really worked and what didn't – and find my way back on a much more forgiving Middle Road.
For me, it's about passion. Thinking about how I can live as harmoniously with the earth as possible is a great passion of mine, because I love this earth so much. I've felt a deep relationship between myself and the earth since I was a child. And I think it's essential to our happiness to follow our passions. But at the same time, to not become so entrenched that we turn militant and inflexible or try to "convert" other people – that's when all the fun gets sucked out of it. (Plus, other people's lifestyle choices are none of our business. It's our duty to become our best selves and we can't do that while focusing on everyone else.)
So in the spirit of flexibility, fun, passion and finding what works, I'll be sharing my green living inventory over the next couple of weeks, from composting to bicycle commuting. The real-life, honest details!
Stay tuned!

This little boy, not only because he is my precious son but because of what his teacher at daycare told me today. She said that Sebastian has a couple boys in his class that always look forward to him coming. One of the boys she explained every morning asks "Bastian here?". First of all I think it's super cute that he has friends that can't wait until he comes since he doesn't attend every single day, only between 2 & 3 days. Secondly, I love that they call him 'Bastian'! Adorable :)

Every Friday night, the boyfriend and I decide that we're too lazy to cook (it is the end of the week) and we either have a takeout or eat out. Last Friday, we decided to go to our local pub (how crazy is it that I have a local now?) and grabbed some delicious food. We've actually been to the Woodmans Rest a few times since it's a short walk from our flat, and I really like going there. The ambience is nice, the meals are incredibly affordable, and the pints are always a plenty.
Kopparberg, you are turning me into a little alcoholic (just kidding).
My handsome
waiter boyfriend.
How cute is this bucket? I love this idea, everything is in one place and so neat.
We both had the 80z rump steak that night, although last time I had the cheese and bacon burger, which was amazing. I wish I had a picture for you guys, because it was a beautiful burger. My meal came with a dessert and I had the tiniest, but delicious crème brulée. Once again, I do not have a picture of this because I basically scarfed it down as it came to the table (#BloggerFail).
Tomato and basil soup.
The steak.
And complementary #OOTD of the evening. I'm still in love with this H&M tunic dress, it's the most comfortable thing.

by Corey Ann Haydu
Genre: Magical Realism
Bang Bang Rating:
Are the women on Debovairre Street cursed? According to the wise old Angelika, any woman who falls in love on this fated Brooklyn street is destined to lose her lover to death.
Undressing is set in 2008 post 9/11 where the women on this particular street are Affected or have lost a man in the terrorist attacks, to cancer, and other varied circumstances. This story is about LornaCruzCharlotteDelilahIsla with Lorna as the main character. According to Lorna these girls, minus Cruz because he's a boy, are special not just because of their address but because of their long hair. Yes, you heard me correctly. Most of the girls think the curse is stupid and they just go along with it to amuse their old neighbor but after some strange events, some of them start to believe.
This is a semi-unique take on love. I say semi because this is not a new concept but the setting makes it special. Brooklyn and this street are also characters. The women on this street have customs and traditions and they help each other. Although this is the sixth book I've read about Brooklyn and their bodegas, I can't say it's getting old yet. Besides the setting, I didn't feel as if Haydu was adding anything new too the conversation about love.
As stated above, these girls are special because of their long hair. They travel in a pact indicated by their mashed names and everyone stares. They probably stare because men can are gross and ogle women with no shame-that doesn't make you special. At some point, Lorna sounded a bit self centered because every where they went people stared. I'm assuming the author is saying they caught attention because of their confidence but she didn't expound on this.
Unfortunately, Undressing was formulaic. I anticipated every turn.
The characters were underdeveloped. Lorna was the main character and she was flat. She was mopey most of the time. Her best friend, Delilah, was only interesting because she was Black with an afro and dated a wealthy white guy. Isla was in the novel to make a point and I'll explain below. Charlotte and Cruz were not special. The only round character was Angelika, the wise old Russian lady.
Undressing had a lot to say about teen girls and love. The older ladies on the block didn't like the way they dressed and their cavalier attitude about sex. Isla was the youngest but she also dressed provocatively and danced on the subway pole while men leered and women scoffed. This is why I felt Isla was just used to make a point and she didn't drive the plot. I think Haydu's message was clear and I liked it but it wasn't enough to save this book.
Haydu is a good writer and this is my first book by her. The language was beautiful and metaphorical and it's clear she has a lot to say. She wrote about an interesting street with diverse characters but Undressing was a bit too didactic, formulaic, and it never seemed to pick up steam.

This is a complete guidance page to bat surveys and contains everything a development professional or domestic customer will ever need to know about how to deal with a request for a bat survey, and what the downstream implications are for your application and project. The video above is taken by Martin O'Connor, surveyor at Arbtech Consulting Limited, during a bat survey at a barn in Surrey, during the 2013 survey season, using our infra-red lighting and camera set up. It features a Brown Long Eared bat (Plecotus auritus).
Why am I being asked for a bat survey?
You have been asked for a bat survey because legally protected species and habitats that could be present and affected by your proposed development are a material consideration for your local planning authority. Since the planning officers do not have the resources to confirm whether or not legally protected species are present at your site, it becomes your responsibility to engage a bat surveyor and provide a report of their findings to support your planning application.
Various legislation makes it very clear that local authorities should refuse consent where this information is absent or inadequate, and should not under any circumstances leaves protected species surveys to conditions of consent.
What do you mean by 'Protected' species?
The EC Habitats Directive protects bats, like other species e.g. great crested newts through their inclusion in Annex II. This European protected species and habitats legislation is transposed in the UK by the Habitats Regulations 2010, which prevents bats as well as their roosting habitat from being disturbed. Bats are also protected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which criminalize deliberate killing, injury or sale.
Engaging the Directive is seriously hot water. Cheshire East council were criminally prosecuted and lost appeals all the way up to and including the Supreme Court for not properly enforcing legislation, let alone breaching it themselves. This has become known as the Woolley case. Needless to say, the successful prosecution (and other Supreme Court cases, such as Morge v Hampshire C.C.) has left planning officers very nervous about leaving protected species issues to conditions, so addressing such matters up front and robustly is the only way to secure a consent.
Who can do a bat survey?
Only a licensed bat consultant; someone who is educated and trained to handle and disturb bats safely (and has received a rabies vaccination!) can undertake your roost visit. A license is issued to a surveyor by Natural England in England (Natural Resource Wales; Wales, and Scottish Natural Heritage; Scotland.) These organizations are executive agencies of the UK government, so-called Statutory Nature Conservation Organizations.
The license essentially permits actions that would otherwise be unlawful e.g. disturbing bats. You should also ensure that your chosen consultant has Professional Indemnity insurance of at least £1m, as well as Employer's Liability public and Products Liability of at least £500k.
Are bat surveys time-sensitive?
Bats hibernate throughout the winter as there are fewer invertebrates about, on which they predate. In consequence, the need to maintain a low body temperature and manage down their metabolism by roosting in a very stable environment—stable in terms of temperature, humidity, light and noise levels, vibration and airflow—drives their need to roost in trees and buildings.
In their state of torpor, they are extremely vulnerable and waking a bat could easily kill it instantly (or use up valuable calories, so depleting its fat reserves and literally starving it to death—not good!) The intense physiological change they must undergo to survive this is quite phenomenal, but equally, presents planning applicants with constraints: that is, some types of assessment cannot be conducted during the hibernation season.
So, while you can instruct your scoping bat survey (or 'initial assessment') to be undertaken any time of the year, the more detailed 'emergence' (or 'phase 2') bat surveys can only be undertaken when bats are active and can be observed without risk of disturbing them. In reality, this season of activity is determined by the climate. A cold, wet March or April may delay the bats coming out of hibernation.
Conversely, a warm or mild October and November may prolong their activity. Generally however, it is accepted by most planning authorities that bat surveys should not be undertaken outside of May through September inclusive, without extenuating circumstances that are catalogued and justified in your report.
Why are there two types of bat survey?
Your scoping survey is simply an exercise to either confirm there is no likelihood of bats being present and affected by the development, or to inform the survey effort and design of bat emergence surveys. It is important as it provides the opportunity to reduce your up front costs by potentially eliminating the need for further, more costly and intensive bat emergence surveys.
If during the initial assessment we find bats, evidence of their activity e.g. droppings or dead bat carcasses, or 'features suitable for roosting' your local authority will expect that you undertake bat emergence surveys. The purpose of this is to provide scientific evidence to support your mitigation proposals. You can see an infographic (flow chart) that takes you through the scoping survey process by following this link.
So what exactly is an emergence survey?
Bats have evolved to take advantage of the night. Bats can predate using echolocation (handy!) and avoid their own predators, as well as avoiding competing with other predators such as birds. Emerging from roosts in the evening (dusk) and returning to roost at first light (dawn) is the reason of then phase 2 surveys are called 'nocturnal or dusk and dawn surveys.
Our surveyors use special devices called bat detectors in order to convert the bats' calls—which are normally outside the range of human hearing—into a frequency we can not only hear, but also interpret. Bat detectors allow surveyors to discern between species and gather information about population numbers and the use of the site. Passing bats make a different sound to so-called feeding buzzes, for example.
What does a bat emergence survey entail and cost?
Emergence surveys require the elevations of your building to be simultaneously visible to the surveyors and so normally, even for small properties; the minimum number of surveyors is two. In a more complex example, such as an 'L' shaped building, it would be at least three surveyors. Standard practice is to undertake one to three dusk surveys, as a minimum, in order to provide a set of scientifically defensible results.
If you have an unusual site or set of circumstances, do not be surprised if you have to do more survey effort than this, or even a bit less. So, while emergence surveys can be fairly straightforward and cheap, it is common for them to cost upwards of five hundred to one thousand pounds – not exactly small change!

More often, it is the person who manages to get their strategy in fastest, without actually breaking the conventions of *when* to move: although sometimes, it can be better to hold off and wait for people to move out of the way first - even if it means allowing somebody else two, three or even four moves between one's last move and one's next.
Strategy and tactics usually result in an "every man for himself" approach: although, if one player seems to be getting too far ahead, other players will quite often end up forming brief, tacit and unspoken alliances to drag the perceived leader back, assisting each other in doing so - and sometimes a leading group will seemingly break away, providing a little assistance for each other. However, such alliances by their very nature are invariably brief, as one or other player must inevitably backstab the other: for only one player can win.
As such, Ruttsborough was recognised as the greatest master of All-In MC, with 18 wins at the IMCS World Championship's All-In event: interestingly, no referee ever ruled any move of his illegal for "moving too often", although he was called for practically everything else (and got away with yet more). Surprisingly perhaps, Mrs Trellis is next with 13 - 12 of them as part of Grand Slams.
Since 1998, a new championship has been set up - the "St Pancras International All-In Mornington Crescent Championships", where *nothing* is played but All-In MC from dawn till dusk in four sessions punctuated by morning coffee break, lunch and afternoon tea break, for a week: and each time a game ends, another begins as soon as the token differentials from the previous game have been added up. Taking part is, not surprisingly, a heroic feat of stamina: therefore, any player is allowed to "sit out" of a game and join in the next one, and very few play *every* game in the week (although those who do, despise others as wusses.) Prize money is divided equally between those players who have hit the most wins and those that possess the top token-difference values over the course of the tournament.
The winners of the inaugural tournament were Stannard for most game wins - to nobody's surprise - and Ondyszeki for best token differential: Stannard took the greater plaudits for the most wins, but Ondyszeki took the most prize-money becuase she also won fourth prize on the Most Wins list, while Stannard was nowhere near even the top twenty for token difference. To nobody's surprise, Stannard declared the tournament "great fun", while an exhausted Ondyszeki stated she had "only entered it as an experiment - NEVER AGAIN!"

Town under boil water order after line break
Town under boil water order after line break
Residents of the town of Calhoun Falls are under a boil water order.
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control issued an alert Wednesday afternoon saying that a major line break caused a loss of pressure and service to many customers. DHEC said that there is no confirmed contamination of the system, but there is the potential for contamination.
As a precaution, residents are advised to boil water vigorously for three minutes before drinking it or using it to cook. Water used to make ice should also be boiled.
Residents are also advised to refrain from washing clothes because of muddiness in the water.

I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Indiana University. My new book, Negotiating Opportunities (Oxford) reveals how privileged students use requests for assistance, accommodations, and attention to secure unfair advantages in school.
Most of my research is qualitative in nature, involving observations and interviews with children, parents, and teachers. Substantively, I focus on inequalities (and especially social class-based inequalities) in education and family life and on the role that culture and social interactions play in producing those inequalities.

Today, five organisations joined the ZDHC Foundation, a coalition of over 70 contributors, working together on the implementation of safer chemistry practices to protect consumers, workers and the environment.
By joining ZDHC, these organisations will be supporting ZDHC's goal of widespread implementation of sustainable chemistry in the textile, leather and footwear industries. One of the main objectives of ZDHC is to reduce duplication and confusion of standards within the value chain, and as ZDHC Executive Director Frank Michel notes, collaboration is key to achieving this:
"The ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme represents a wide range of organisations and interests, but we have all joined forces because we believe so strongly in the need of a unified chemical management system to support the global textile, footwear and value chains. I am very pleased to welcome the five new organisations to ZDHC and to this worthwhile cause."
Joining ZDHC, these organisations commit to working collaboratively on the development and implementation of ZDHC tools. These include amongst others a Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL), Wastewater Guidelines and two platforms: the ZDHC Academy and the ZDHC Gateway - Chemical Module and Wastewater Module.

Labour MEP for the West Midlands, Siôn Simon, is calling on the West Midlands Mayor to explain his failure to secure Channel 4 relocation.
Tory Mayor Andy Street pledged to "turn over every stone" to get Channel 4 to the West Midlands.
Throughout the Mayoral election campaign he continually told us his "good connections with central government" were a key reason people should vote for him.
Yet in a speech to the Royal Television Society yesterday, Tory Culture Secretary Karen Bradley rowed back on the government's previous commitment to move channel 4 outside London.
A deal bringing Channel 4 to the West Midlands could boost the regional economy by £5billion.
Mr Simon said:
"Theresa May's Tory Mayor pledged to be knocking on the door of Downing Street to get Channel 4 to the West Midlands – but his boast is now in tatters.
"The Tory government is abandoning its manifesto pledge to relocate Channel 4, ignoring the West Midlands once again.
"Since taking office, Andy Street has visited Tory Ministers in London four times more often than Labour Mayors of the other major cities.
"Now it's clear he wasn't representing our interests in those cosy chats, but taking his orders. It's clearer than ever that he's the Tory Government's man in the West Midlands.
"On Channel 4, homelessness, congestion and Brexit, the Tory Mayor leaves behind a trail of failure.
"The Tory manifesto clearly stated that Channel 4 would be relocated out of London. This was an open goal for Andy Street. A tap in - which he has somehow managed to balloon over the bar."
"This is a spectacular and catastrophic failure by the Tory Mayor. Is he even going to comment?"

The miner, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, said Wednesday it earned $71.9 million, or 12 cents per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30.
That compared with a profit $142 million or 30 cents per share a year ago.
First Quantum said revenue came in at $869.3 million for the quarter, up from $722.3 million year over year.
On average, analysts had been expecting earnings of $116.86 million, or 23 cents a share, on revenue of $937.17 million, according to Thomson Reuters.
Total copper production was up 43 per cent compared with a year ago, while total nickel production improved by 33 per cent.
Total gold production increased 46 per cent over the second quarter of 2012.
"Good cost control combined with the addition of the acquired operations to our asset base effectively reduced our production cost of both copper and nickel," said chief executive and chairman Philip Pascall in a statement.
"This low cost profile enables First Quantum to be profitable, and to generate healthy cash flows, even in low metal price environments.
The company said the increase in production was helped by a recent takeover of Inmet Mining Corp., which runs the Cobre Panama project in Peru.
The Vancouver-based metals and mining company operates seven mines and five development projects worldwide. It produces copper, nickel, gold, zinc and platinum group metals.

New HIV drug effective for drug-resistant patientsOctober 2nd, 2008 - 4:16 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Oct 2 (ANI): Maraviroc, the first of a new class of HIV drugs called CCR5 receptor antagonists, can provide major benefits for certain patients who have become immune to existing medications, according to a new study.
Since it is from a new class of HIV medications known as HIV entry inhibitors, people living with HIV generally will not have resistance to maraviroc because they have not been exposed to any drugs from the class previously.
Unlike earlier HIV drugs that target the virus, maraviroc acts on the human T-cell, binding to it in such a way that prevents HIV from binding and subsequently infecting the T-cell.
"It is now possible to expect that a majority of treatment-experienced patients who experience failure on their current HIV drugs will regain control of their HIV infection with maraviroc combined with other newer antiretroviral drugs. This is an important step forward," says study principal investigator Dr. Roy Gulick, who is professor of medicine and director of the Cornell HIV Clinical Trials Unit of the Division of International Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Weill Cornell Medical College, and a practicing physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.
"Suppressing virus levels and increasing immune system T-cells with HIV treatment regimens helps HIV-infected people live longer, healthier lives," he added.
The double-blind study followed 1,049 of patients with advanced HIV and resistance to three antiretroviral drug classes.
Patients were randomized to receive maraviroc once-daily, twice-daily or placebo. Safety and efficacy were assessed at 48 weeks.
The researchers found that the drug, taken with an optimized standard HIV drug regimen, resulted in significantly greater suppression of the virus at 48 weeks, with concurrent increases in immune system T-cell counts, when compared with placebo.
Rates of side effects were not different between the maraviroc and placebo groups.
"Findings from the subgroup analyses show that maraviroc plus standard antiretroviral regimen provides consistent clinical benefit over placebo plus optimized background therapy for all subgroups analyzed," said Dr. Gerd Fatkenheuer, lead-author of the subgroup analyses and professor of medicine, Universitatsklinik Koln, Koln, Germany.
"Results highlight that maraviroc provides a valuable additional treatment option for a wide spectrum of treatment-experienced patients with R5 HIV-virus infection," Fatkenheuer added.
The study has been published in the October 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). (ANI)
