GB's 18 year old half-pipe skier was reportedly knocked unconscious at the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park on Sunday night.
Rowan Cheshire reportedly landed on her face during one of her training sessions and lost consciousness. After several minutes of being unresponsive, she was taken to a nearby medical tent.
A Team GB spokesman said: "Team GB halfpipe skier Rowan Cheshire was injured this evening during halfpipe training."
"She was immediately taken from the course and is currently at the polyclinic in the Mountain Village, where she is being evaluated by Team GB medical personnel."
Cheshire was seen as a medal prospect and is currently ranked seventh in the World Cup standings. She claimed her first major victory at a World Cup competition in Calgary last month.
Cheshire's injury came at the end of a day in which crashes frequnted the women's snowboard cross competition, with Norway's Helene Olafsen and American Jacqueline Hernandez stretchered off the course after accidents in qualification.
Swiss aerials skier Christopher Lambert was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected dislocated elbow in a heavy fall during training.
Messages from fans and fellow teammates flooded Twitter today in support of her recovery.
Fellow GB member said:
@Rowan_C_ was in top form and probably going to medal at Sochi, cant imagine how gutting it must be. Wishing her a speedy recovery! #TeamGB

Rowan was expected to compete this week on her debut in the Winter Olympics.

Postgraduate research currently funded by The Little Foundation aims to establish the link between the maternal fatty acid profile of pregnant mothers and pre-term labour. The brain evolved in the sea 500 million years ago using DHA and associated trace elements such as iodine, zinc and selenium. It still depends on these nutrients which as expected are richest in the marine food web. Our research will compare blood samples of preterm mothers with those of healthy women pre-conception and, finally, analyse different pregnancy outcomes that result from correcting trace elements, changing diet or providing supplements to achieve the right balance of fatty acids.
By investigating the link between maternal fatty acid and pregnancy outcomes through different cohorts and exploring potential interventions for correcting maternal lipid profiles prior to conception, this research project hopes to improve pregnancy outcomes, specifically preterm labour which is one of the major causes of death among newborns and a high risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.
Preterm birth, and its impact on neurodevelopmental disorder, are global problems affecting the developed world, emerging economies and the burgeoning refugee populations, where poor maternal nutrition and limited access to health facilities are widespread.
The data suggests that the period before conception needs to be a target and that the essential fatty acids are likely an important component of any intervention.
The research plan will help add evidence to existing knowledge on preterm labour and will serve as a basis for subsequent studies that will address nutrition during pre-conception. Future research will be needed for valuable intervention strategies to be developed based on better understanding of the problem and of the mechanisms by which essential fats affect pregnancy outcomes and brain development at the blood and placental levels.
If our hypothesis on maternal fatty acid profile being directly related to preterm labour is confirmed, then modifying a mother's lipid profile before conception can help prevent preterm labour and subsequent neurodevelopment disorders.
This research research is conducted at Imperial College London by The Little Foundation-funded researcher AnnieBelle Sassine under the supervision of Professor Mark Johnson and Professor Michael Crawford.

Some Details About Disposable E Cigarette
If you have previously conducted a research on electronic cigarette, you might be aware of the fact that there are two manufacturing designs and they are:
1) Two-piece e-cigarettes with a cartomizer
2) Three-piece alternative with a cartridge
Electronic Cigarette
In addition to these two alternatives, you can also find another model called disposable e cigarette or one-piece design. Let us get into details about this model:
This disposable design is not that much different from the normal electronic alternatives, except for the fact that it can be thrown away, once you have used it. In this aspect, it is closely related to the normal cigars that you throw away after use. Now, you might get a doubt why you should opt for a disposable e cigarette as it can be thrown away just like regular ones. The fact is that normal cigars are loaded with more than 4000 carcinogens, but electronic alternatives do not contain this level of these harmful substances. Disposable alternatives are convenient in the way that you can use them wherever you want. Furthermore, if you are planning to use electronic alternatives for the first time, this can be the best alternative. This is because during your first purchase, you will not be sure as to whether you will be continuing to use these alternatives, as against normal cigarettes.
Ego C Twist
A comparison: If you are planning to purchase an electronic cigarette, regardless of the model like those with dual coil tank you are opting for, you should understand that all of them are powered by battery. Even you can find that the same company sells different designs of this device and even though, they are from the same manufacturer, one battery will not be suitable for the other. When you compare the cost of different models of this device, one will be different from the other. There are models with dual coil tank, while some models can have a single coil tank.
If you want your e-cigarette to be simple, the best thing you can do is to opt for the ego c twist model. It has a dial that can easily adjust the power level at which your device performs. There are professional companies dealing with an Ego C Twist and many other models and you can browse through the collection via their website. Even, you can find complete details about each and every product available in their collection and so you can browse through them before arriving at the decision with respect to the model to purchase.

Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy today's episode. Please don't forget to share and drop your comments. Much love!❤❤❤?????
"Please don't cut the call."
Efe looked at Amanze who was busy with his son and she excused herself from the living-room and went into the kitchen where she could have some privacy.
"Are you there?" Adesewa asked.
"Yes. Why are you calling me?"
"I – I heard you want to give Daniel a divorce. Is it true?"
Efe rested against the cupboard and folded her free arm around her waist. "Why are you asking me? Isn't that what you wanted from the beginning? You should be happy. I'm sure you guys have been free to sleep around since I'm not in the picture."
"I'm not happy about it."
"I hear you."
Efe hated the way she sounded. She had told herself over and over again that she was over Daniel and had forgiven Adesewa when she apologized some months back. But now. . . Talking to her brought back painful memories and she couldn't help but lash out. Besides, what was her business if she wanted to end things with Daniel?
Efe heard her sigh on the other end of the phone.
"I know it's none of my business but I can't help but feel guilty over your decisions. I feel it's my fault you and Daniel didn't work out. I'm really sorry Efe. Please don't think of divorcing him. Im sure the two of you can work it out. Think about your daughter."
She felt her blood boil. "Did you think about her when you decided to sleep with my husband?" She spat out. "Of course not!"
"You know you… never mind. I have stayed away from Daniel since the time I apologized to you. I have changed church. We don't even talk anymore. I know it's hard but you shouldn't remain bitter over what happened. We made a mistake as I'm sure you have made mistakes as well." Efe recalled she was the one that had brought the whole problem upon herself by sleeping with someone else's boyfriend. But the truth of that would make her feel bad and she didn't want to feel that way. Not now. "What happened to the forgiving and gentle Efe I've known?"
Efe snorted. "She realised life was harder than she thought it to be. I'm not Jesus. You seem to have gotten your life better and moved on but it's hard for me to do so. I can imagine the both of you together and laughing at me. Is that fair?"
"It's not. I understand how you feel. I didn't just happen to get my life together all of a sudden. Infact, I'm still in the process of doing that. I have had a lot of help. God has helped me a lot but it started with me giving my life back to Him again. He's in total control and I know I don't have to keep letting the past rule my future 'cause He has forgiven me. Are you still letting yourself get beat up 'cause you feel it's your fault and you should suffer for it? Efe, stop punishing yourself."
Efe laughed. "I should give you a round of applause. Have you now turned into a psychologist to be giving me advice? So if you have moved forward why are you calling me? You said you feel guilty… maybe you should take your own advice."
"I said I feel guilty. But I know better not to. Please think it over properly and pray before making any drastic decisions."
"Take care." Efe said and dropped the call angrily and slammed it hard on the kitchen counter.
How dare she call her to be giving her advice? She was in no position to do that. Why hadn't she repented before sleeping with her husband? Why was it after Adesewa had succeeded in ruining her marriage that she had come to her senses? It all didn't make sense. Why wasn't God looking out for her?
God how could you forgive her? How could you accept her after everything she's done to me? How?!
Just the same way I can accept you when you sin and repent of your ways. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
"God, it's not fair."
Efe placed both hands on her face and cried. She didn't know how long she sat on the cold, tiled floor. She didn't hear anyone come in until when Amanze sat beside her on the floor and pulled her to him in a side hug. She cried on his chest and he rubbed her back.
"Shhh. . . It's going to be okay love. Don't cry." He kissed her on her forehead and kept rubbing her back. "Whenever you're ready to talk I'm here for you."
She nodded but wasn't ready to talk. They remained in that position for a few minutes. Everyone wanted her to think it over. Had they asked if Daniel wanted to still be with her? He hadn't even called her since she told him about the divorce. Wasn't that enough proof that he was no longer interested in her? His mother had even approved. She shifted away from Amanze and wiped the tears from her eyes. She stared at his shirt, seeing all the stain marks on it.
"I'm sorry I stained your shirt with my makeup."
"That's not a problem. How are you? What happened?"
"It's just family issues. I really don't want to talk about it please."
He nodded. "Fine. I will accept that for now but don't feel you can't talk to me about anything. Okay? I'm here for you and I mean it."
She nodded.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you looked at the annual year party?"
She chucked. That day she had dressed to impress. Donning on a shimmery black, long gown with silver heels and matching clutch bag. Pamela had done her hair up in an elegant bob. She didn't need Amanze to tell her how stunning to look but it was good to hear. "You have told me like a hundred times already but a girl can never stop hearing it from her man."
His look suddenly turned serious and he took her hands in his. "I love you dear. I'm not here to play and neither do I want to. I want you to me happy. I'm so glad I met you and I have you in my life. Please can – can I kiss you?"
She nodded shyly and he moved close and planted a soft kiss on her lips. It was brief but intimate. She knew this was the man she wanted to be with.
The sand in-between her feet was comforting in a weird way. She placed her shirt on the ground and sat on it while staring at the ocean and the sunset. Just looking at such beauty planted romantic thoughts in her head. It was love right from the start. The man loved his bride so much that he was willing to sacrifice his life and everything that he was for her. It wasn't the Romeo and Juliet love that ended in sorrow but one that brought about righteousness, peace and joy. That opened doors to a relationship with God and the possibility of spending eternal life with Him. In all her life she hadn't experienced something like that before.
She had always known Jesus to be a prophet of some kind. A man who just went about talking about God but never believed Him to be a Son. She was told of Paul who had been persecuting Christians until Jesus appeared to Him and he believed… just like she now did.
Zainab wrapped her arms around her as the wind blew a cool breeze. Her father had given her a gift that was priceless. He had told her about God and how much He loved her. A love so deep that you couldn't see how far it went. It was the kind of love that blew your mind away. The kind of love that made you yearn for more.
She had loved I.K to a fault. But had doubted if she was making the right decision and if I.K and her could have a blissful marriage and have fun . . . Now she knew it was never going to happen. It probably wouldn't have worked out if he could bolt at the slightest sign of trouble or any mistake she may have made if they got married. Zainab had never seen him that way, especially with all his tatoos, muscles and bravado. His love for her was not unconditional. And her love for him wasn't so as well.
There were so many things in her life that needed changes but she was told to take it one at a time. There was no rush…
"But what about my smoking habits?"
Her father smiled and said reassuringly, "God will take care of that. You don't need to run to all those things when you feel frustrated or sad or whatever. You need only turn to God first."
There was so much to learn. Her father had told her she would experience joy and peace like no other. A joy that would bubble up from within that she would feel like bursting 'cause it was filling her up.
Zainab smiled. She felt that way now. She felt like running around the beach and shouting at the top of her lungs that God loved her.
Pamela had not regretted her decision thus far. But as days went by she was doubting if she really thought it out properly before doing it. The tears she had shed for the last couple of days could have filled a whole bucket. After her father had told her she was going to abort the baby, she had felt a nudge not to do so. She felt it was her fear of complications or losing her life that made her go against his wishes. Whatever it was, she had the boldness to stand up to her father and tell him she would fend for herself and her unborn child if he wouldn't support her.
Her mother had pleaded for her to listen to her father and for her father to take it easy on her. But there had been no use. He was bent on it being his way or nothing else.
"Since you have decided in your heart to go against my wishes all this while and even now, then you cease to new my daughter. You're an embarrassment to your family. You have brought nothing but shame since your mother gave birth to you. If I have anything to say about it … you would never amount to anything in your entire lifetime."
Her mother had shouted at the heaps of insult and curse her father had placed on her. Her wrapper loosened as she knelt infront of my father begging him to forgive me. She had also pulled Pamela down on her knees to apologise but the words that came out of her mouth wasn't what anyone of them would have expected.
"I'm sorry daddy. I didn't mean to be a nuisance to you or to the family. Please forgive me. I just can't abort this baby. It feels like I'm committing murder. I'm sorry and I hope one day you would forgive me and be proud of me."
His face lacked any expression as he walked out of the house. Her mother sobbed. It hurt to see her mother cry and know she was the cause of her pain. But Pamela didn't have any choice. Now, she was on her own. Who would help her? Who could she run to? Was God finally going to remember her or abandon her just like her father?
The door to the apartment opened and few minutes later Efe walked into the room they shared looking worn-out.
"Hi." Pamela greeted. "Long day?"
Efe nodded. "How was yours?"
Pamela shook her head as tears gathered in her eyes. She stared down at her fingers. "Not so good. I'm pregnant."
"What? Who?" Efe rushed to her side within seconds and sat next to her. Pamela took a long time narrating her story and how her family had practically left her on her own after she declined getting an abortion.
"My life is ruined."
"No, Pamela don't say that. Your life is not ruined. You have me. I'm not going to abandon you. Have you told the father yet?"
She nodded. "I told him. At first he was claiming ignorance and then he said if it's his child he didn't care. I could do whatever I want with it. He's engaged to be married. I'm just a fool. I wanted my career so badly that I did stupid things. I brought all this pain upon myself. What would I do now?"
"Whatever you decide to do."
"I don't know what I want to do. But I'm going to keep the baby. NYSC finishes in in a few months and I don't know how I'm going to survive. What if they don't retain me? Who would want to hire me knowing that I'm pregnant?"
"It's all going to be fine Pam. Just believe."
"Please pray for me Efe. Pray that God will help me." She started again with the tears as Efe held her in her arms.
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for you
Jesus a name above every other name
Jesus the only one that could ever save
Worthy of every breathe we could ever breathe
We live for you
We live for you
Holy there is no one like you
There is none beside you
Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who you are
And fill me with your heart
And lead me in your love
To those around me
I will build my life, upon your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust, in you oh lord
And I will not be shaken
She tossed her phone on the bed and sat on it while letting the words speak to her soul and minister to her. It had been a long day with her emotions running on the low. First, it had started with the leading to leave her company. Something she would never have seen coming. Then the second was her conversation with Efe that made her look like an hypocrite. The call had been a difficult one for her to make. She had thought better about calling Daniel 'cause she didn't want to had any dealings with him again. It was better that way.
But calling Efe?
Adesewa had felt bad about the whole thing and the sarcasm and bitterness in Efe's voice had been stinging. She hoped and prayed that Efe would change her mind and fight for her marriage. Adesewa remembered the love she had seen in Efe's eyes all those years back. How she adored him and Daniel had spoken nicely of her. Deep within her she knew God wasn't done with their relationship. And He wasn't done with His plans for her. Ever since He told her to leave her company she also felt Him telling her to trust Him.
She took of her red stilettos and placed them at the side of her bed then she took off her ear-rings and necklace. Trusting God was easier said then done. She had no idea what she was going to do for a living, where her next income was coming from, what she would tell her parents. They were so proud of her and high hopes for expansion of her company. They were even willing to talk to their friends to do business with her. And then now she would just up and leave?
"God is this really what you want me to do? It's very hard for me. I need grace. I need to know the next step to take."
Are you waiting to know the next step and waiting to see if it's good before you trust? The question plagued her mind. And from there more things seemed to come to mind to bother her. She got up and went straight to her bed-stand and took her bible. She sat back on the bed and flipped it open. God led her to different scriptures in the book of Matthew and Proverbs to read.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
She swallowed hard; she was at conflict with her emotions. God wanted her not to worry but just trust Him with her life and so Adesewa knew she had to follow His leading and step out. In her heart she felt at peace but her head told her doing so would be one of the most foolish things she could do. Despite the toggle, she had to trust God with her life even if she didn't know what the next step was. It dawned on her that she had surrendered her choice of a spouse to Him, knowing fully well she was incapable of choosing based on her own wisdom. But she had left out her business life to herself because she felt more than capable to do it.
God wanted all of her, not just a part
"God I'm sorry. I trust You and in any way my trust in You is wavering, please help me. Give me grace. I trust You with my all."
This was one of the hardest decisions she was making. She made her way to her laptop bag and took out her laptop and powered it on. She had a ton of letters to type.
☆Bible Quote for the Day:
1 John 4:10-11 KJV
4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

The name Sottocenere means "under ash." It is originally from Venice, Italy, and is made with cow's milk and slices of truffles, then rubbed with various herbs and spices. Sottocenere is a very pale yellow to off-white semi-soft cheese with truffles that has a grey-brown ash rind.
About Sottocenere
The gray rind is formed by a layer of ash that covers the cheese as it ages and is meant to preserve the cheese over a long period without losing flavor (a Venetian tradition). Mixed with the ash are spices such as coriander, nutmeg and cloves, although these spices hardly flavor the cheese. It is the addition of truffle oil and tiny flecks of black truffle that create the irresistible flavor and aroma.
The rind is edible, although sometimes a little gritty and is less flavorful than the cheese. A strong truffle aroma is followed by a slightly milder truffle flavor.
Truffle! Not only are tiny pieces of truffle found throughout this semi-soft cheese, but the rind is also rubbed with truffle oil. Notes of scalded cream and vanilla manage to sneak past the predominantly earthy flavor profile.
Uses and Pairings
This cheese doesn't need to be paired with much of anything – the rich flavor of truffles shines on its own. A glass of sparkling wine or Italian Barbera will wash it down well. Delicate, aromatic and unusual, Sottocenere is a silken indulgence perfectly suited to the sparkle of Lambrusco.
Truffle Cheese Recipes
A little bit of Sottocenere melted into a dish can be transformative - try melting it over polenta, risotto, or scrambled eggs. Squares of grilled cheese sandwich with Sottocenere could be a fun appetizer at a party (or a completely decadent lunch).
Sottocenere's texture lends itself ideally to melting, so if you're embarking on a pan of truffled mac & cheese, this is the way to go. Choose a pasta with plenty of nooks to catch all this deliciousness, like Bartolini Fusilli Gigante. Wondering what cheese to pair with hot cider? The rind of Sottocenere, not to mention the truffle, will pick up that hint of cinnamon stick, and the soft paste will turn to silk in your mouth.
More Types of Truffle Cheese
Here are some additional types of truffle cheese you should try:
- Moliterno Black Truffle Pecorino: A Sardinian cheese with the earthy, nutty, salty flavor of pecorino layered with black truffle paste. The truffles can be seen in dark lines throughout the cheese. Made from raw sheep's milk.
- Boschetto al Tartufo: A semi-soft Italian cheese made from a blend of pasteurized cow and sheep milk. The cheese is mild, letting the shavings of white truffle dominate the flavor.
- Truffle Tremor: Pasteurized goat's milk with a soft, fluffy texture. Flecked with bits of black truffle. Made by Cypress Grove in California.
- Truffle and Salt Cheddar: An aged, pasteurized cheddar made with black truffle salt. Created by Ballard Family Dairy and Cheese in Idaho.
- Truffle Gouda: Dutch gouda flavored with little flecks of black truffle. Less sharp and sweet than some types of gouda, the cheese has a flavor that doesn't overpower the truffles.

I was trying to think of a good topic to write about today….although my guts were directing me to delve into "domestic terrorism" and how our government is effectively green lighting white nationalists, compared to Federal and local response whenever there is an act perpetrated by foreign terrorists. But, no, I am not going to ruin my day getting even more agitated about this.
I thought also to write under a post title, "Death by blogging," and I likely will do that in the future; however, today's topic is as stated. I can't seem to find any "old people" on the web, in photos and film, and frankly, in flesh and blood, in most public places. I know we haven't all just "disappeared." I can look at myself and see that I haven't disappeared….or at least I don't think I have, but maybe? Of course, by some standards I am not even "old" yet, so maybe I haven't totally disappeared yet?
When I go out looking for photos for my blog posts, if it's about people, seems like the only old people "pics" are those taken in foreign countries; by "foreign," I really mean developing or third-world. No offense meant, of course, for my readers in India and other areas populated by societies that have been around so long that the USA is not even a sneeze in comparison. But, please, my readers not in the US, don't you agree? Can you find many "old American" pics, except maybe people golfing or living on the streets? We have no gurus just "chilling," drawing photographers to them like a magnet. Do you not agree that there is a dearth of photographic proof of the existence of old people in America?
I don't get out much anymore, and when I do, I don't stray far, but in the stores the only "old people" I see are perhaps around the time Social Security checks hit our bank accounts. I do occasionally see a little "blue haired" white lady being slowly chaperoned by her health assistant, usually a young non-white person. I don't know, maybe if I were a golfer, I might see a few more old men. But I hate golf.
I suppose this is just how nature works with people. The new is out and about, blooming, busy as bees, and the old folks just sort of stay out of the way.
That's ok by me, but just remember, we are still here among you, so watch your steps!

Moments of clarity
The ocean.
there is the place where my soul is completely made open. transparent like a crystal glass. unhinged from all that suffers it. all the freckles fall away and that crystal glass becomes my only mirror.
There is something about the chilly sea air. feeling it on my skin & breathing it deep down into my lungs; being massaged by the earth as I feel each grain of sand beneath my feet; seagulls eloquently hovering over the tides, sending forth their powerful song way off into the deep unknown of the ocean beyond; watching the waves as they beat upon the shore, over and over and over again, never failing, always there.
I love it. I crave it.
I have sat on the warm shores of the Indian Ocean on the eastern cape of South Africa & I have been chilled to the bone on the cold shores of the Atlantic on the western cape. The two Oceans have different temperaments. like two women, each unique yet born from the same womb, with the same cause. the same power and force.
There's always wave after wave after wave. But there is also that breathtaking moment before a wave pulls back into the sea & the next one bows down; that moment when you see the clear, white sand, the rocks & the sea shells that wash ashore. There is clarity in that moment.
Sometimes the waves bring a pain that seems to last forever & you wonder where your breathtaking moment is – that moment of calm before another wave crashes in.
It's no lie. I've never appreciated the quiet moments of my life. I never understood what they were all about. I reasoned life should be large & deep like the ocean; soaring & lofty like the seagulls that fly above it. I was convinced. I should be writing books & selling them, changing lives, building a company, feeding hungry children across the globe, running educational programs for women & girls, giving hope, loving people's faces off…I should have been. I was convinced.
I craved to be deep & meaningful, like the ocean.
& yet I'm here, in this moment…everything so quiet, so steady.
I have travelled this road before. I know the smells & sights. & I know the way my feet curve into the ground to greet the path. I have been here before – my moment of clarity – with the blinding light pouring into every nook & crane of my house chasing away the darkness that had made me its own abode.
Sometimes you stumble into the very darkness you so eloquently see in others. Those are the times I need the ocean. to bathe in its salty water & when I arise, I am a goddess ready to be loved to the deep bone of me. even senselessly so.
These moments are priceless. for in the world we live in, clarity is expensive. The kind of expensive that eludes even the rich & famous. The kind of expensive that is uncomfortable.
But to know the steps you have taken & the ones you are yet to take is worth every penny in the world. To look beyond broken dreams & dream new ones has no figure on the stock exchange.
You can only build when your weather is good. When you can see & trace the margins of your form & path in the crystal mirror. This is what these moments are for.
& sometimes the clarity is in waiting for the clarity.
There is only one thing clear about the ocean & that is that its essence & ways of being are past finding out. & yet it is the one place where peace & stillness is served up to you on platters of carved shells. The ocean's deepness is its beauty.
May your moments come, falling all over you like a lover who knows how you need to be loved. & may your clarity be deep & steadfast…like the ocean.

Ted Baker probes £25m stock inventory blunder
Fashion retailer Ted Baker has said it may have overstated the value of its stock by between £20m and £25m.
Law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is to carry out a review, and independent accountants will also be appointed to investigate.
Shares in Ted Baker fell to a 10-year low as analysts described the news as "less than ideal" and a "blunder".
This year, former boss Ray Kelvin stepped down over misconduct claims, while sales and profits have tumbled.
In the latest setback, Ted Baker said it may have accounted for up to £25m of stock, mainly clothing, on its balance sheet that did not exist.
The company said in a statement: "Ted Baker is committed to ensuring the independent review is completed in an efficient and transparent manner and will update the market as appropriate. Whilst the review is ongoing, the company will not comment further."
Ted Baker added, however, that it did not expect any cash impact from the overstatement of inventory.
The problems are the latest setback in a difficult year for the firm.
In March, Mr Kelvin - who had been chief executive since the company's launch in 1988 - resigned over claims he presided over a culture of "forced hugging". He has denied all allegations of misconduct.
The company has also seen its sales, profits and share price tumble. In October, the retailer reported a £23m loss for the six months to 10 August, down from a £24.5m profit last year.
For years Ted Baker bucked the trend with growing sales and profits, a business which knew its customers and pitched its products at the right price. But it's had a turbulent 2019.
Ray Kelvin turned the business from a single store in Glasgow into a global brand. He was one of the UK's most successful retailers. In many ways Ray Kelvin was Ted Baker.
His departure was bound to have some impact on the brand, especially when it came to innovation and quirkiness.
But some wonder whether its troubles point to far deeper issues within the business. For instance, has Ted Baker become too expensive in a very competitive market where rivals are discounting like mad. This blunder is the last thing it needs.
News of the inventory problems come just weeks after the company appointed Rachel Osborne as its new finance head.
The issue was also mentioned in Ted Baker's last annual report based on information from its auditors, KPMG.
The accounting giant said it had uncovered mis-statements but concluded they were too small to affect the fashion label's accounts.
'A bit worrying'
Retail analysts at Liberum said: "Today's latest news from Ted Baker, regarding the overstatement of last year's inventory value, is less than ideal."
AJ Bell's investment director Russ Mould said it appeared that "Ted Baker has found another banana to slip up on".
"Discovering that the value of inventory on its balance sheet has been overstated is a huge blunder on its behalf," he said.
"It suggests that the business hasn't got a grip on its numbers which is a bit worrying considering that new chief executive Lindsay Page used to be the finance director.
"Appointing a law firm and the intention to bring in independent accountants will raise questions about whether more serious problems are bubbling under the surface at the business."
The company is due to publish its latest trading next week.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- U.S.-listed shares of overseas companies rose Monday, boosted by a jump on Wall Street where investors anticipated an interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this week.
The Bank of New York Mellon American Depositary Receipts Composite Index BKADR, +0.72% finished 1.2% at 171.23, erasing its loss on Friday.
Investors on Wall Street zeroed in on a Commerce Department report that said sales in December fell 5% despite a decrease in selling prices by home builders. For the year, homes sales dropped 26.4% to their lowest levels in about 13 years.
The poor sales report fueled expectations that Fed policymakers will decide to cut rates on Wednesday to aid economic growth. Last week, the central bank issued an emergency rate cut of 75 basis points to 3.5%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.22% ended Monday up 176 points, or 1.5%, at 12,383.89. See Market Snapshot.
The Latin America ADR Index led gains with a rise of 2.9%, tracking advances in Brazilian and Mexican equities.
Shares of Brazilian oil giant Petrobras PBR, +1.91% topped percentage gainers as they climbed 5.2%. Steelmaker Gerdau GGB, +2.45% rose 2.4% and banking firms Bradesco BBD, +0.49% and Itau ITU, +1.47% ended 2.2% and 1.1% higher, respectively.
Mexican wireless firm America Movil AMX, -0.59% surged 3.4% and fixed-line operator Telmex TMX, -6.09% rose 4%.
The Europe ADR Index closed up 1.2%, with shares of German insurance firm Allianz AZ up 5.2% and French-based insurer AXA AXA, -0.14% up 3.1%.
The Asian ADR Index rose 0.6%, with its advance limited by the China ADR Index. Overnight, Shanghai-listed shares tumbled 7.2%, with investors concerned about energy shortages due to heavy snowfall around China and about the impact of the pullback in the U.S. economy.
"If the U.S. slows down and goes into a recession, then China isn't going to grow as fast. It may not go into a recession, but a sharp decline from a growth of 11% or more will in effect be a recession." See Asia Markets.
In the group, China Finance Online JRJC, -0.34% shares fell 8.7% and China Life Insurance LFC, +1.67% lost 1.1%.
Also, shares of Internet portal company Baidu.com BIDU, -0.77% fell 2.7%, and Yangzi Green Energy YGE stumbled 7.6% to 21.34.

Autumn has always been my favorite time of year, and pumpkins are a symbol of this beautiful season of color, harvest, and refreshing cool breezes. Use this pumpkin with its tubular herringbone stem and simple wirework embellishments to bring autumn's bounty inside the house.
Prepare the wooden bead
1. Paint a wooden bead with one coat of primer or gesso. Let it dry, and lightly sand it if needed. Follow with two coats of acrylic paint, allowing time to dry between coats.
2. On a comfortable length of thread, pick up 14 color A 11/0 seed beads, leaving a 6-in. (15cm) tail. Sew through the beads again, and pull snug to form a ring of beads. Tie the working thread and the tail with a square knot.
3. End the thread and the tail. Repeat to create the second ring; however, do not end the working thread.
4. Cut a drinking straw in half and slit it lengthwise. Insert it into the wooden bead. Slide each ring of beads over opposite ends of the straw to rest at each end of the wooden bead. The ring with the working thread should be placed at the top of the wooden bead. Sew through the bead next to the knot.
Fourteen spokes, to be called "simple" and "complex spokes," will be created between the two rings of beads.
1. To make a simple spoke, pick up 21 A 11/0s, and sew through an A 11º in the bottom ring (FIGURE 1, a–b).
2. Sew back through the 21 beads (b–c). Sew through the first bead exited and the next bead in the top ring (c–d).
3. To make a complex spoke, pick up 21 A 11/0s, and sew through the next bead on the bottom ring and the last bead picked up (d–e).
4. Using A 11/0s, work in flat even-count peyote stitch (Basics) to the top of the spoke (FIGURE 2, a–b).
5. Sew through the bead in the top ring and the first bead in the spoke (b–c).
6. Pick up a color A 8/0 seed bead, and sew through the next bead in the center row of the spoke (FIGURE 3, a–b).
7. Repeat step 6, adding nine more A 8/0s (b–c).
8. Sew through the bead in the bottom ring and the next bead on the bottom ring (c–d).
9. Repeat steps 1–8 six times to add 12 more spokes around the wooden bead in an alternating pattern of simple and complex (PHOTO A).
Horizontal rounds
Each round will be connected to the simple spokes and will rest between the 8/0s on the complex spokes to create the look of rounded ribs on the pumpkin. Each horizontal round will be sewn through two times to "tweak" the round into position. (FIGURE 4 does not show all of the spokes on the bead.)
Round 1: Sew through the beadwork to exit the third A 11/0 in a simple spoke (FIGURE 4, point a). Pick up eight color A 14/0 seed beads, and sew through the third A 11/0 in the next simple spoke (a–b). Repeat around the bead, connecting each simple spoke with a horizontal string of beads. After completing the round, sew through each set of horizontal beads again, sewing through the spoke bead in the opposite direction than in the first round (c–d).
Round 2: When you get back to the first spoke, sew through the next two A 11/0s (d–e). Work as in round 1, but pick up nine A 14/0s per stitch.
Rounds 3–9: Continue working rounds as in round 1, adding one A 14/0 per stitch in rounds 3–5, then decreasing by one A 14/0 per stitch in rounds 6–9. End the thread.
Tendril and stem
1. Make a wrapped loop 3 in. (7.6cm) from the end of a 15-in. (38cm) piece of wire. Do not cut the excess wrapping wire. Instead, coil it to within 1⁄4 in. (6mm) of the wrapped stem to form a tendril. Set aside.
2. Add a new thread on the top ring, and exit any bead (FIGURE 5, point a). Pick up two color B 11/0 seed beads, skip the next bead in the top ring, and sew through the next (a–b). Continue around the top ring, adding six more sets of beads (b–c). Sew through the first bead added in this round to get into position for round 2 (c–d). Insert the wire through the wooden bead, positioning the tendril between two sets of beads (PHOTO B). Coil the other end of the wire so it is snug against the bead (PHOTO C).

I'm not one to make grand sweeping statements, (I am. Actually, I do it all the time, boldly and without further thought), but here comes one I believe to be true: indoor plants are ruining our lives.
In the last few years they have become the unofficial status symbol for the semi-successful: the more plants you have, the happier you are, the better your life is. Sure, none of us can afford property, but if your rented living room looks like Jumanji, you must be doing something right.
I've watched on in awe as friends effortlessly list the Latin names for their plants, their egos swelling with every 'Sansevieria trifasciata.'
Get your green card
As with any movement that rapidly gains widespread popularity, I'm instinctively cautious - no one wants to be the last person still rocking a Kabbalah bracelet. But I've also grown tired of being left out of debates about whether or not philodendrons will flourish in full sun.
And so two weeks ago, I found myself at a local indoor plant store. Side note: living in the inner city of Sydney there are more indoor plant stores than necessary. I was able to choose between three nearby, eventually opting for the closest. I can more easily access a hibiscus than a hospital.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly shop attendant who asked me what I was after.
"An indoor plant," I replied, he smiled. Minutes later I was holding a Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata).
Fiddly little thing
While he prepared my Fiddle, the attendant rattled off what seemed like a long and conflicting list of instructions.
"Give it a little light, but not too much."
"Keep it close to a window, but not by the window."
"Water your fiddle leaf, but don't over water it. The leaves will turn brown if it's too dry; they will also turn brown if it's too wet."
And then the kicker.
"While they can be tricky, they're so rewarding if given the proper care."
You and me both, fiddle leaf.
The bad seed
Once the plant was in its new home, I sent a photo to my friends. Everyone was so supportive, and it felt nice. This was going to be the start of a new me, I was a plant person now, and I wondered what else might change. Would I open a bottle of wine and not feel the need to finish it? Perhaps I'd visit art galleries for more than the gift store.
Three days later I felt the first betrayal underfoot — the crunch of a brown leaf that had separated from the plant.
I couldn't bring myself to ask my pals for help, having just gained their approval my fiddle leaf failure was an immediate source of shame. Instead, I researched online and spent the next week testing every possible theory: moving the plant with the sun, closing the windows at night, wiping down the leaves every hour. Nothing worked.
Meanwhile, my internet research only served to confirm my theory that the plant-demic was unstoppable. I read about university courses dedicated to indoor planting, stumbled across Melbourne's Jungle Collective, an organisation who 'throw pop-up Indoor plant parties in our Bohemian Style Warehouse while DJ's play on site.'
The hipsters and the horticulturists had become the same; I felt like neither.
Ungreen thumbs
But the weirdest thing I discovered online was that I wasn't alone. There were forums full of people like me (plant murderers), driving themselves crazy trying to revive their indoor disappointments. One particularly sad post accurately captured the collective mood.
"Guys I NEED your help, my friends are coming over for a dinner party and my Fiddle leaf is an embarrassment! It's brown and droopy, and nothing is working. What can I try?????"
Nothing spoke more to me than that series of desperate question marks. With each fallen leaf, I too felt my status slipping, while everyone around me continued to gloat about their thriving indoor gardens.
Instagram was a steady stream of lush photos accompanied by infuriatingly upbeat captions. "Did you know that studies by NASA revealed that indoor plants can reduce stress and improve our moods!"
That was news to me; I was more stressed than ever and perpetually in a foul mood. I began to have visions about waking up to a loungeroom full of angry friends, surrounded by dead leaves.
Eventually, I conceded the Fig-Jig was up, and I handed the fiddle over to a new owner. Despite the desperation to see what all the fuss is about, for me (and so many others online), the pressure to be a plant person was too much.
"Not everything which makes us feel better is good for us," writes modern philosopher (and probable green thumb), Alain de Botton. "Not everything which hurts may be bad."
So I'll take my sterile lounge room, free of everything, including failure.

Debenhams hails return to sales growth
Department store group Debenhams today said its strategy to focus on in-house product ranges was paying off after a return to like-for-like sales growth in its new financial year.
The group, which has 167 stores across the UK, Ireland and Denmark, has stripped back concession space in recent months to focus on brands including designer collections from Henry Holland and Ben de Lisi.
The move cost the high street retailer around 1.5pc in like-for-like sales, resulting in flat same-store sales for the year to August 28.
But the group said it was encouraged by the start to the new financial year and had seen a return to like-for-like growth in recent weeks.
The merits of its strategic overhaul were bolstered further by a 20pc increase in profits to £151m (€170m) in the year to August 28, on a 10.9pc increase of revenues to £2.1bn.
Rob Templeman, chief executive of Debenhams, said the group remained concerned about the general retail environment and now awaited the important Christmas trading period.
He added: "In spite of the uncertain outlook, there is much to be positive about our business which will enable us to make further progress over the next year."
Debenhams said its product strategy had led to an increase in market share in clothing, footwear and accessories by 0.2pc, with the strongest performance in menswear and childrenswear.
The group said it continued to expand its in-house range, with new menswear and homeware lines released towards the end of the year.
As part of its strategy to put margins ahead of sales, set out 18 months ago, Debenhams has also completed a series of store refits and openings, as well as developed its website.
The group opened six new stores in the financial year, and completed refits in Manchester, Glasgow and Swindon. It is currently in the process of refitting five stores, with a further five scheduled for next year.
In November 2009, Debenhams bought the Danish department store Magasin du Nord, which it said was performing well since the acquisition.
The group said its online drive had seen an 88.4pc leap in sales on website Debenhams Direct to £103.8m in the last financial year. The store recently launched a shopping app for iPhones.

"A bald girl is strong and prideful, graceful and beautiful. Hair doesn't define you." – Bald Girls Do it Better
In a movement, Bald Girls Do it Better, bald women from all over – some who can't grow hair and other's who prefer to be bald – celebrate their beauty and proudly flaunt their bald hair. Founder Neyda Hernandez created the movement, based in Atlanta, Georgia, as a way to encourage women to love and embrace their authentic selves no matter the situation and to show that hair is just an accessory in a recent phone interview.
Hernandez reported that she came up with the idea for the movement one day when she decided to cut her hair. She sat in the chair for hours on the fence about the idea for fear of feeling ugly or for fear of feeling rejected – imagine how women feel who don't have the ability to grow hair at all!
Hernandez created the page — also a networking group/meet and greet — loaded with bald beauties. The movement conveys a message that all women can develop the confidence to embrace themselves as they are, according to Hernandez. They discuss daily topics for ironing out self-esteem issues and addressing stereotypes associated with wearing your hair bald as a woman. A few group members expressed their frustration under one post:
"Trying to get my boyfriend to understand why I prefer being bald (alopecia)."
"Folks being intimidated. I'm a nice lady, really 🤷🏾♀ or when guys backhanded compliment you & say "Your hair cold, but I'd never let my girl/wife cut her hair." Thanks sir! 🤦🏾♀"
"Just because my hair is cut doesn't make me a lesbian."
All of the ladies uniquely give off loving vibes and an attitude of self-acceptance! On the Bald Girls Do It Better Instagram page, many women contribute photos of themselves in all shapes, sizes and conditions to celebrate their natural born features.
One beautiful curvy beauty sported her bald cut while wearing a shirt labeled, "I'm just a bad chick with a bald head living life."
Scrolling the page, you can find style and hair care advice that offers the the latest color fads to dye your hair accompanied with recommended hair products to use after bleaching your hair. Who knew that "applying coconut oil through your hair & scalp prior to bleaching" would do less damage to your hair?
Here is another awesome blonde look. All eyes on this gorgeous baldy!
@Jasminebanks rocks her fabulous bold style!
The women's networking group has a meet and greet in Atlanta where its members meet up in different locations to have fun but most importantly spread a message of self-love!
Hernandez says the movement is growing and there will be a blog and Youtube channel coming soon!

We occasionally have some older rabbits which we need to rehome, such as retired breeding does or ex-show/stud bucks.
The benefit to having an older rabbit is that they have gone through their adolescent stage and have reached maturity with their personalities as well as their size. They make excellent pets as they have been well handled and can also make good companions for other rabbits.
Please contact us for details

It is military grade, just a couple of years old. It was supplied to our military and friendly nations military's for several years. Newer is 4 times as much cost and not available for civilian ownership.
I was out night before last looking at critters. We went to look at buffalo and saw deer, dogs, smaller critters and people. Ranges varied from 50m to 350+. Animals, traffic lights and cars stood out like searchlights. People and buffalo didn't stand out as well because of the insulating factors of clothing and thick fur on the shoulders and backs of the buffalo, but all were quite visible and recognizable. Yesterday morning it was very cool and I was looking at birds and squirrels. They just leaped out at me because of the temperature difference between them and the surrounding vegetation. It has been a real education using this thermal imager.

Mind you, it is not a fairy tale story.
Once upon a time, there was a girl. One day, she felt so sad and depressed. It was more to disappointed actually. At that time, she was alone at KL Sentral and had nowhere to go nor no one to talk to. She walked back and forth, here and there. At last, she decided to go home. On the LRT, she saw a young woman, who was crying right in front of her.
"Oh, I am not the only one who feel sad today", said her inner voice.
Then, came a guy. He moved closer to the woman and immediately hold her in a warm cuddle. while murmuring something to her ears-some consoling words perhaps .
Once seeing that, she said to herself again:
"The woman and I are in the same situation- we both are unhappy. But I don't need a guy or anyone to comfort me like she does. I just need Allah"
She then prayed,
"O'Allah, don't leave me alone. I am so scared of not having you beside me"
The end.
Too short eh?
At last, she lost her LRT ticket and had to pay extra for that xD
So dear earthlings, do remember this :)
" No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."[Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 70, Number 545]
To quote from a sister,
Being a Muslim is the best gift one could ever ask for.
bila senang, kita tahu Allah yang bagi.
bila susah, kita tahu Allah yang bagi jugak.
in the end, it all goes back to Him.
which, is the one and only thing that we need to do in this short lifetime.
-kembali kepada Dia-
so, we should be happy :)
So people, lets us put our assurance and trust on Him :)
