Practices for Resilient Solidarity
Faculty Parlor, College Center, 2nd Floor
Exploring "practice" as a shared way of addressing basic human needs—actions that are both generative in themselves and that qualitatively transform our experience of time (such as eating, hospitality, movement). Students will also share their own practices for healing and sustaining themselves in their activism. Facilitated by Liz Aeschlimann, Jewish Life/Religious & Spiritual Life and Louis Römer, Department of Anthropology
Implicit Bias in the Academy and Workplace
Senior administrators, deans, directors, academic department chairs, and program directors participate in a workshop conducted by the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at The Ohio State University.
All College Day Keynote Lecture:
Implicit Bias: Rethinking our Decisions and Actions
College Center, Villard Room, 2nd Floor
A look at implicit bias and its operation in various domains, such as in higher education, classroom, and work environments--and how unconscious associations about race, gender, class, sexuality, etc.) can influence decision-making and behavior. Presented by the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at The Ohio State University.
All College Day Closing Reception
College Center, Rose Parlor, 2nd Floor
Hosted by the Dean of the College and Dean of the Faculty
The tradition began in February 2001, in response to a racial incident and subsequent campus discussions the previous spring. Led by the Dean of the College Office, those discussions included students, faculty, and administrators. Along with Conversation Dinners throughout the year, the goal has been to facilitate campus dialogue regarding critical matters of campus life and campus community. All College Day has typically been scheduled on the third Wednesday in February. Questions and comments may be shared at any time by contacting us at email@example.com. You may also call (845)437-5426 if you have questions or need more information.

Trekkie Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
Watch this. Here is just one quote from the video:
"[Dr. Martin Luther King Jr] said 'I am the biggest Trekkie on the planet' … He went on to say how important Star Trek was, that images on television permeate the culture, either for the good or for the bad, and this is for the highest good. He said you cannot abdicate your position. You are changing the minds of people across the world, because for the first time through you we see ourselves – what can be – what we are fighting for… " Nichelle Nichols .

Story of Me
By Iquo B. Essien, The AFRican Blogger
Published on
Tue, Aug 28 2007
Iquo Essien
I'm writing my memoirs. Yes, it has been brought to my attention that, at only 25-years-old, what could I possibly have to say at this point. Where to begin...
I am a first-generation American-born Naija. That distinction has always been a source of ire toward my parents for robbing me of my birthright. You see, even if you were born in NG and whisked away at four-months-old to the US, somehow you're more authentic than those of us born here. All I know is, my favorite foods are plantain & eggs and coconut rice. I can cook edikangikong, okra soup, afang soup, atama soup, pepper soup, egusi soup, fufu, jollof rice, coconut rice, akara, chin chin, and beans. I can prepare plantain at least ten different ways. Count to ten, say hello, goodbye, I'm sorry, come and eat, sit down, where are you going, what is your name, nice to meet you, how much does it cost, i love you. I know when someone's talking about me and usually, if I put enough effort into listening, I know what they're saying.
My mom used to take my sisters and me back "home," as we call it, every two years. We knew our cousins there better than we knew the ones in the States. When my mom started a dance troupe, she took us to the village to learn traditional Ibibio dance properly. Between the palm wine and goat pepper soup, I always knew I was different from an American, but something else distinguished me from a black American too. As many identity issues as it created for me growing up -- other kids said I had snakes in my hair when I wore it threaded -- it has helped me find my place as an adult: what I am here to do, to write my life.
So I am writing a book about growing up as an African in America. It is a not-so-easy task -- not just the writing part, which takes a lot out of me emotionally, but selling the idea. I have submitted the proposal to a dozen agents and keep opening up rejection letters that say, "You're a wonderful writer, but I would have a difficult time getting this story published."
And I am not used to rejection. Usually, if I apply a certain amount of energy in a particular direction, whatever I want comes to me. But with this book, I have put out more energy than ever before without receiving much validation.
I wanted to blog a summer reading list today, but I realized that what I really want to do is
publish and read my own book
. I tend to believe that more women my age want to tell their stories, but I have to ask, where are they? I look to contemporary African authors like Ama Ata Aidoo, Meri Nana-Ama Danquah, and Chimamanda Adichie for inspiration, but there should be so many more.
We have to tell our own stories or they die with us. I get that, really I do; but I think we also need the encouragement and the opportunity to do so.
I look forward to the day when our stories, no longer at the margins, are placed squarely at the center of history. So these agents and editors see my memoir as something essential -- a must- instead of a cannot-publish -- that tells the very central story of Africans in America, of America itself.

John Romero has always been an interesting character, for good or for bad. At id software, he helped create some of the most beloved games of the 1990s, including Doom, Quake and Commander Keen. He then left id software to form Ion Storm, which resulted in gaming's greatest debacle this side of Duke Nukem Forever, Daikatana. He seemed to have learned his lesson from that, and he's bumped around for several years since, releasing a lot of smaller and more charming games, until he took an aborted stab at MMORPG development.
Like I said, an interesting career for a man who — braggadocio and glossy mane aside — has lived and breathed gaming for the last three decades. No surprise, then, that Romero's expanding his resume once again by delving into Facebook development with the new game, Ravenwood Fair.
Ravenwood Fair feels a lot like Zynga's FrontierVille, and is published by LOLApps, one of the Facebook game makers recently named by the Wall Street Journal as a violator of the social network's privacy rules. That might give you pause in trying the app out, but power through: for all his hubris, John Romero's a true gamer, and one of the medium's greatest personalities. Supporting him is an easy thing to do when it costs nothing.

Long before the start of the 2014 Euro Bus Expo held in Hall 5 at the NEC in Birmingham, Wrights has hinted at a new Gemini3 bodywork style. A few days before the event computer drawn images were offered to preview papers for publication at the show, which gave clues to the new shape of Gemini3 body. It was quite the surprise to see the new integral StreetDeck vehicle on display at the NEC in full Arriva Sapphire livery. Arriva were to acquire the Streetdeck, for use on the high profile 38 Derby-Sinfin, which was one of many Sapphire standard bus routes launched by Arriva during 2014. However after the show the bus returned to Wrights and prepped for service with Arriva, which duly arrived during December 2014 as the bus arrived at the Derby bus depot.
It was here that the Arriva team then took the bus into a brief training routine for drivers and engineers until early January 2015, when on the 14th day 4600 entered revenue earning service on the 38. This new vehicle is powered by the Mercedes/Daimler OM934 5.1 litre 4 cylinder diesel engine rated at 231hp/1400rpm. I assume that 4600 has got the Voith Diwa.6 four speed gearbox for transmission, which has a integral retarder. The bodywork is also built to European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA), with class leading weight and capacity plus fuel economy savings. Naturally Wrights have taken onboard customer feedback regarding the new style of bodywork and the internal fixtures and fittings.
On Monday February 2015, your author decided to pay Derby a visit to sample the new StreetDeck and the square shaped bodywork. Arriva purchased a batch of ADL E400 double deckers for the new 38 and 110 midlands bus services, 6 vehicles for the 38 and the remainder for the 110 Birmingham-Tamworth service. The Derby 38 service serves on of the main estates around Derby city, this route also passes three local areas outside the city then finally Sinfin. At the Asda superstore the 38 takes a circular route around the main road around Stenson fields and Sinfin, which allows the bus to pass the superstore before returning to Derby.
Having sampled the StreetDeck at Birmingham in early November 2014, your author took a chance to hop on to 4600 (FJ64ETZ) at stop A6 Osmaston Road, then forward until a right turn into Walbrook Road. First impressions were how bright and airy the interior is on the bus, with various shades of blues and greys all formed from plastic moulded parts. The Esteban Civic2 e-leather seating is a vast improvement on the standard Arriva cloth patterned seats. One interesting point of note was the windows, with opening hoppers, which indicated that the air-cool system used on the NRM vehicles in London is not in use on this bus, it could be a forced air system. The upper deck windows are still shallow for reduced sun glare, which will help passengers enjoy summer time journeys. While travelling on the upper saloon towards Sinfin, there were plenty of rattles, which were also apparent when 4600 was idle at traffic lights and junctions.
The picture above shows off the different style of vents which are blown air vents, which are controlled by internal temperature controls. Each head rest has the Sapphire brand sewn into the e-leather making the seats look the part in the bus. You can also see the opening hopper windows towards the rear of the bus, the roof line is smooth and clean with saloon length lights, giving passenger good interior illumination. The lower saloon also has the full saloon lights, with wheelchair and buggy zones which comply with DDA requirements for a PCV. In order to gain some shots at Sinfin, your author alighted at the Asda superstore and waited for 4600 to return back to Derby. This time travelling in the lower saloon, your author noticed that the air blow system was on the off-side. The glazed staircase allowed more light into the saloon near the wheelchair bay and the stairs. Overall the StreetDeck performed well along the route, even the start delay seems to have been master by the Arriva driver at the wheel for this mid afternoon duty on the 38. The return journey saw more passengers heading into Derby, with 4600 collecting a good load of passengers from the bus station, back to Sinfin.

People now-a-days use mobile apps for ordering pizza, playing games, order ride, climate updates, social media communication, and so on…When people have smart phones in their grasp, they have answer to every query on their fingertips.
Mobile application advancement is a fast developing industry. As the number of smart phones is burgeoning, organizations are creating innovative mobile apps to draw in the intended interest group.
Apps are so designed that it perfectly fits the businesses of all sizes. You can without much of a stretch keep the customers connected with and intrigued when you utilize mobile apps for business.
Cross platform mobile apps are the need to time. Whether the client is an Android owner or Apple owner, he can get to your application and use it. You can achieve a bigger gathering of people when you decide on cross platform mobile app development.
The crevice between the clients and entrepreneurs gets reduced when organizations create mobile apps to support their deals. As mobile applications gift organizations with a few points of interest, mobile apps should be developed in a way to deliver results faster and more efficiently.
Here are two mobile app trends that are highly anticipated and expected to make a thundering entry the very next year.
Web 2.0 for mobile apps transforms from Pull to Push:
The web has served to our core requirement since two decades and continues to do the same. The current web technology is "pull" based which applies to mobile technology too. This means now we need to search for our need throughout the web and pull contents from it. But, considering the upcoming instant gratification of society, the Google-esque fanatic is soon going to die out in few years. Then we will not find contents but the contents will find us…That's the Push technology.
Just like Facebook, Flipboard and other social networking sites push contents on our profile, the future mobile apps will be Push based. So, interestingly, Nike will let us know it's time to replace the old rugged shoe and the Hyatt will offer rooms for stay if your flight has delayed or you missed one.
Intelligent Ads Retargeting:
Ads Retargeting is sometimes annoying. Your mobile screen now gets legitimately colonized with products you recently looked for. Maybe you looked for the products for your friends but the retargeting concept stalks you wherever you go. New intelligent ad retargeting will know whether you are really interested in the product or you came across to kill your time or gave a serious drool only for your friend.
Future of mobile web apps is intelligent ad retargeting. Only those ads will make a show on your apps whose products you are really interested in.
Future of Mobile app development is expected to transform and suffice the next generation leaps and bounds. Though the technology is still giving us beautiful experience all the while, the future is expected to be earth shattering, awe inspiring and jaw dropping!! Businesses will find new prospects and customers will explore new interests. There's more to add to the dimension. All we need to anticipate and bootstrap for the NEXT BIG BOOM!!
Ready for the change?

"When to book a band for your wedding" has been one of the most frequently addressed topics by wedding publications over the last several years. However every time we come across such a wedding resource, we're surprised to see most articles simply get it wrong. And while we hate to throw anyone under the bus, it pains us to speak with families we're unable to help because our entire roster of bands is booked for their date.
Recently, we were forced to inform a bride that we had no bands available for a Saturday in September 2015. Dismayed, she replied that all the books she consulted suggested beginning the booking process six months prior to her date. Sadly, this isn't surprising to hear given wedding authorities such as Martha Stewart Weddings publish this kind of advice:
"Begin your search at least six months before the wedding day by deciding which musical direction best suits the tone and atmosphere of the reception you are planning."
While this can be true in some instances, roughly six months is hardly the industry standard anymore, and generally isn't nearly enough time. We already have a handful of 2015 dates for which our entire selection of bands is booked. So when someone asks us "how far advance should we book our band," the best advice we can give is always, "as soon as you are able."
One of our brides Sabrina recently gave this same advice when her wedding (at which Splash! performed) was featured on Brides.com:
"Book the bigger things, like the venue or photographer or band, that you want as quickly as possible," she says. "There's nothing worse than finding out that the vendor you fell in love with is already booked! Then relax and take your time figuring out the smaller details."
Brides.com is more on par in a post by top party band leader Andy Kushner. Andy says, "Popular bands may be booked as many as 12 to 18 months in advance, so begin your search as early as possible." Like many Wilson Stevens bands, Andy's band has performed at numerous high-profile events. He knows the level of demand and competition that comes along with highly reputed performers.
On more than one occasion, we've worked with a Mother or Father of the Bride who's daughter wasn't even engaged yet! Their daughter's soon-to-be fiancé had sought permission to propose from the parents and they didn't waste any time getting a jump start on researching and reserving the best band for the couple.
There are of course exceptions, so don't get discouraged just yet. Peak wedding season generally falls between April and October. So if you're planning a wedding outside of those months you may have more flexibility with your timeline. And of course, there are always great bands that fall through the cracks for prime dates.
When asked, our Facebook fans have said they booked their bands anywhere from 7 to 23 months:
When it comes down to it, there's no way of knowing if your dream band is already booked without asking. Just today a client reached out saying, "We have not set a date yet because we want to make sure we have good music first. What Saturdays are available?" The sooner you reach out to verify availability, the better informed you'll be. And the sooner you can get comfortable with making a decision, the better your chances of securing your first choice. But that's a post for another day ;-).

The Oates family of Massachusetts exemplifies the goal of cultural exchange between host parents and au pairs here at InterExchange Au Pair USA. Since au pair Giovanna from Germany arrived in October 2010, she has been part of a large family of six! She is already an integrated member of the Oates family, joining the gym with them, traveling with them for a winter vacation to the Bahamas and helping her host mom with volunteer work for Relay for Life of Housatonic Valley, through the American Cancer Society. The children adore her and she's even helping them learn German. As the host mom shared with us, "My son's pre-school teacher was so ecstatic because she couldn't believe he was teaching the class German."
Shortly after she arrived one of the children referred to her as "Giovanna Oates"! The warmth and the love that the Oates family has demonstrated to Giovanna and their enthusiasm for the au pair program in general makes the Oates an ideal featured family for InterExchange Au Pair USA.
As host mom Stacey told Nina Kryzak, the Au Pair USA Local Coordinator for the Berkshires of Massachusetts and Albany, NY, "Giovanna has added an entirely new dynamic to our already diverse household. She's honest, reliable, loving, compassionate and intelligent. Our children adore her and look up to her, but to us, it's like having another daughter."
Lucky Giovanna and bravo to the Oates family!
A fan of independent cinema and proponent of the Oxford comma, Matthew began his career at a Miami-based tech startup before returning to West Virginia University to pursue his M.A. in Foreign Languages. He has worked at InterExchange since 2006 and currently serves as a Marketing Project Manager.

Police: Basalt woman awoken to intruder in her home
An unknown person entered a woman's house in Basalt early Thursday morning and committed unlawful sexual contact, according to the Police Department.
The woman called 911 at about 1:30 a.m. to report that someone entered her home on River's Edge Court.
"She was awoken by someone rubbing her buttocks," Police Chief Greg Knott said.
The woman screamed and the person fled, according to Knott. The entry and exit was apparently through an unlocked sliding-glass door. A neighbor heard the scream and called 911 simultaneously with the victim. Neither party could provide a description of the person. Officers from Basalt and Eagle County responded but were unable to find the person.
Knott asked that anyone who saw something call the Police Department at 970-927-4316. In addition, he advised Basalt residents to lock their doors.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

The Secret Sins of Economics
Deirdre McCloskey's work in economics always calls into question its reputation as "the dismal science." She writes with passion and an unusually wide scope, drawing on literature and intellectual history in exciting, if unorthodox, ways. In this pamphlet, McCloskey reveals what she sees as the secret sins of economics (there are two) that no one will discuss. In her view, these sins "cripple" economics as a "scientific enterprise."

Ah, The Farty Stench Of Blackpowder In The Morning.
By Jeff Smith
RATON, NEW Mexico--What can you say about a place the Spaniards held in such low esteem they named it Rat?
Well, you could allow as how the rats in this part of New Mexico back in the mid-1500s must have been some muy guapo little critters, because you'd send your real-estate agent all over the map before he'd find you a sweeter spot to build your ranchito. Then again you could cast your mind over the American Southwest and Mexican frontera del norte and realize that among the few redeeming virtues of the Conquistadores who rode roughshod over this territory, raping and pillaging and Christianizing and bestowing Latinate nouns on places that theretofore had gone by various Athabascan, Inca, Mayan and Aztec descriptions, the artist's eye and the poet's tongue did not number. There was a folk song a few decades ago--I think the Kingston Trio recorded it--called "Spanish is a Loving Tongue." You sure as hell couldn't tell by the names they hung on the lovely places they passed through on their march of conquest. The State of Georgia should be forever grateful that William Tecumseh Sherman wasn't a Castillian with an urge to rewrite the address book.
Anyway, we have those boys in the steel suits to thank for such loving and lovely place-names as Raton and Ajo, which means garlic, or Mesa, which ought to mean "place where the Mormon used-car dealers grow rich and dream of political power" but actually just means "table," and so on. I need to get on with the real point of this column, which has nothing to do with Spanish-language names, but take a look at a map sometime and translate some of those faraway places with strange-sounding names into English. It's pathetic.
Anyhow, the reason I'm up here in Rat city is the National Black Powder Cartridge Rifle Silhouette Championships, going on just south of town at the NRA's Whittington Center. I know it gives you tofu-heads the red-ass when I go on about the Second Amendment and guns and stuff, but I'm still a good liberal and I still believe in the Bill of Rights and your personal right to be a self-deluded, pencil-neck dreamer who believes that evolution is about something other than turning us into more efficient predators. Would that it were true.
But it's not, so I'm just trying to have a good time and make some noise and smoke and stinky sulphur smell shooting little bitty steel targets a hell of a long way off with the same guns the old hard-barked boys who wandered this country a century or two ago carried. Ever see the movie Quigley Down Under? I recommend it. Tom Selleck plays Quigley, but the real star of the show is a Sharps rifle in caliber .45-110 that shot three holes in a bucket at over a thousand yards. That's considerably better than half a mile, and lest you think this is just cinematic fiction, those old guns and those old sharpshooters could hit what they aimed at, routinely, at distances from 500 to over 1,500 yards.
And that's what antiquarians like today's blackpowder shooters are replicating, with faithful reproductions of all the old guns of the 19th century, at events such as this five-day championship that brings me to Raton. I wanted to see it and smell it. (Blackpowder is part sulphur and smells something farty, but it gets addictive, especially after you've lobbed your first hand-cast bullet at a little ram silhouette, close to a third of a mile distant, and waited and watched the thing topple over and then heard the "clang" come back to you, three seconds later.)
I reasoned that as long as I was driving this far, to someplace this remote, with nothing much else to do within a day's travel, I might as well enter. You don't need to qualify to the nationals, it should go without saying. I have never entered any kind of shooting match like this before, so like an idiot I set about preparing ammunition for the match, and would up ass-deep in more work than I presently prefer to burden myself with. Pardon the preposition.
But dig this: After the first day's shooting I wound up the Rookie of the Year. Of all the buffoons who showed up completely green--and I was not the sole such fool at the match--I shot the highest score: 20 hits out of 60, including eight out of 15 rams at 500 meters. I don't believe I've been quite so hyper, immodest and utterly carried away with a new-found pastime since I discovered self-abuse. I'm surprised my fellow markspersons didn't form a posse commitatus and escort me across the county line. That would have put me in Taos, where I might have been herbalized to death.
Or, worse, been fed blue corn.
Clearer heads prevailed, if not my own then those of a compassionate company of fellows. Each of them has in his or her own turn experienced the implausible thrill of firing a primitive projectile, through an arm designed in the middle of the last century, using sights without magnification or modern technical trickery, through a rainbow arch of a trajectory that sent the bullet 20 feet above the earth in mid-flight, to drop like an artillery shell onto a target so far away your middle-aged eyes can barely see it...
...and knock it over. You've got to knock it over or the hit doesn't count. This eliminates sissy calibers that don't kick like a Missouri mule. But still you wander down the firing line and see women and kids, shooting and laughing and cussing and enjoying themselves. They're not murdering endangered vegetables or drive-by strafing Bill Clinton in the backseat of his limo with his bimbo du jour, they're having good, clean fun, with tools and toys they've put together with the power of their own minds and the deftness of their own two hands.

Paul McNeive: 'Retail rebalancing act still has some way to go'
The right moves
Traditional bricks-and-mortar retailing is continuing to take a hammering worldwide, and my instinct is that we are nowhere near the bottom yet. The main reason is the huge ongoing shift to online retailing, but there are other factors too.
The problem seems to have visibly worsened over the last six months, and I am noticing vacant units and more temporary trading in shopping centres, increasing vacancy in town centres, while shops off Grafton Street seem to be taking longer to re-let. But what are the effects on the retail property market, and can retailers and town centres fight back?
Globally, retail spending is growing, as are most economies, so retailers should be booming. The issue for the property market though is the fast rebalancing between the proportion of sales done through traditional shops, versus online. Retailers, many of whom own premises, or who lease portfolios of shops on long leases, are seeing their online sales becoming increasingly profitable, whilst bricks-and-mortar becomes disproportionately more costly to operate. Where retail groups have been sold, those with a higher proportion of online sales are attracting higher valuations.
Rates payable to local authorities are approximately 50pc of annual rent in the UK, which is causing carnage there. Here, rates should be between 15-20pc of your annual rent. Some retailers will have benefited from the recent revisions of rateable valuations in Irish cities, but others will have increased, due to local infrastructural improvements. But overall, whilst the abolition of upward-only rent reviews here has kept many retailers in business, rates have not fallen as quickly as rents, and are a disproportionate burden for struggling retailers. Locally, 'anti-car' strategies, the proximity of the border, and Brexit fears are adding to the problems.
The conversion of sales to online continues apace and in some sectors, for example, fashion, that rate of conversion is increasing. A slew of household-name retailers have disappeared from the British High Street, with knock-on effects here, and technology is also seeing businesses such as banks, post offices and travel agents, closing.
In the UK, retailers realise they are in a battle to simply survive. As regards property, they have adopted the attitude that 'nothing is sacred' and even the best locations can be closed. The impact has been felt in particular among the traditional department stores, and the view is that Primark (Penneys) is arguably the only active anchor around.
For institutional investors, there is concern about retailing and yields have moved out. But, whilst there has been some selling, retailing is still seen as a major asset class and represents approximately 25pc of the global property market. Landlords will have to fight even harder for good tenants and one effect has been a shortening of lease terms, to 10 years, with a five-year break option, which of itself reduces the investment value. But even that brings us more in line with mainland European and US leases, and the market will adjust.
Retailers are fighting back by enhancing their online platforms, but there is even a cannibalistic angle to that; the more sales done online, the more damage done to the shops. Google, too, is rebalancing, having bought some traditional retailers and it recently instructed agents to acquire a string of 'click-and-collect' shops across southern England.
Local authorities should help by reducing the rates for town centre properties, and increasing them for 'edge-of-town' retail parks and large shopping centres, and/or levying their cheap or free car parking. The opportunity for town centres is to create the social experience, with a focus on convenience shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bookshops, craft shops, beauty salons and galleries.
Retailers need to transform their performance on the customer experience – and should do their own disrupting by randomly offering lower prices in the shops. The rebalancing act will continue, and it has a long way to go yet.

This image, online via the BBC, depicts how Lusitania's sinking may have appeared to observers on the 7th of May, 1915. The ship's extreme list, which happened soon after a U-Boat's torpedo struck the vessel, caused an insufficient number of life boats to be launched. Click on the image for a better view.
On her 202nd Atlantic crossing, Lusitania sank in the Irish Channel at a depth of 295 feet. Kptlt Walther Schwieger was surprised by the magnitude of the explosion. He wrote his observations in his log book
...an unusually heavy detonation.
What could have caused the massive internal explosion? There have always been controversies about the sinking. At the time, Schwieger attributed it to
boilers, coal or powder.
Later diving expeditions, by Dr. Robert Ballard and his crew, would reveal which of those three scenarios may have occurred.
Captain Turner knew his ship was doomed. He gave the order to board lifeboats and abandon ship. Lifeboats on the port side had swung inward and were unusable because they couldn't be launched. The crew had to get as many people as possible into the starboard boats.
But ... there was no time.
Using the ship's call signal, "MFA," the Marconi operator sent out a distress:
SOS, SOS, SOS. Come at once, big list, 10 miles south Head Old Kinsale. MFA.
One of the lifeboats, holding more than 50 passengers, fell to the boat deck crushing those unfortunates who were below it. Another lifeboat similarly crashed.
In what must have seemed like no time at all, sea water was on the bridge floor. As the stern of the ship settled back, the bridge was awash and the Captain was swept into the Irish Sea. He, unlike most others, survived.
Lusitania went to the bottom at 14:28 GMT.

Albert Hofmann, discoverer of the mind-altering drug LSD and former head of the research department of Swiss chemical company Sandoz, is shown in 1998. He died Tuesday of a heart attack.
Albert Hofmann, the father of the mind-altering drug LSD whose medical discovery grew into a notorious illicit substance, died Tuesday. He was 102.
Hofmann died of a heart attack at his home in Basel, Switzerland, according to Rick Doblin, president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, in a statement posted on the association's website.
His death was confirmed to the Associated Press by Doris Stuker, a clerk in the village of Burg im Leimental, where Hofmann moved following his retirement in 1971.
Hofmann's hallucinogen inspired and arguably corrupted millions in the 1960s psychedelic era. For decades after LSD was banned in the late 1960s, Hofmann defended his invention.
"I produced the substance as a medicine. It's not my fault if people abused it," he once said.
The Swiss chemist discovered lysergic acid diethylamide-25 in 1938 while studying the medicinal uses of a fungus found on wheat and other grains, at the Sandoz pharmaceuticals firm in Basel.
He became the first human guinea pig of the drug when a tiny amount of the substance seeped onto his finger during a repeat of the laboratory experiment on April 16, 1943.
Hofmann discovered the drug had a similar chemical structure to psychedelic mushrooms and herbs used in religious ceremonies by Mexican Indians.
Hofmann and his scientific colleagues hoped that LSD would make an important contribution to psychiatric research. The drug exaggerated inner problems and conflicts and thus it was hoped that it might be used to recognize and treat mental illnesses like schizophrenia.
LSD sold by Sandoz as medicine
For a time, Sandoz sold LSD 25 under the name Delysid, encouraging doctors to try it themselves. It was one of the strongest drugs in medicine with just one gram enough to dose an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 people for 12 hours.
LSD was elevated to international fame in the late 1950s and 1960s thanks to Harvard professor Timothy Leary, who embraced the drug under the slogan "turn on, tune in, drop out." The film star Cary Grant and numerous rock musicians extolled its virtues in achieving true self discovery and enlightenment.
But aside from the psychedelic trips and flower children, horror stories emerged about people going on murder sprees or jumping out of windows while hallucinating. Heavy users suffered permanent psychological damage.
The United States government banned LSD in 1966 and other countries followed suit.
Hofmann maintained this was unfair, arguing that the drug was not addictive. He repeatedly maintained the ban should be lifted to allow LSD to be used in medical research.
He himself took the drug purportedly on an occasional basis and out of scientific interest for several decades.
"LSD can help open your eyes," he once said. "But there are other ways meditation, dance, music, fasting."
Even so, the self-described "father" of LSD readily agreed that the drug was dangerous if in the wrong hands. This was reflected by the title of his 1979 book: LSD - my problem child.
Hofmann retired from Sandoz in 1971. He devoted his time to travel, writing and lectures which often reflected his growing interest with philosophy and religious questions.

Japanese gastronomy is celebrated justifiably for its harmony with nature and seasonality. Neglected in this celebration are the ideological values and the environmental impact of the gastronomy. Lack of sustainability, degradation of the soil, and industrial practices in agriculture are fundamental to creating Japanese cuisine. In addition, the idea of Japanese food as superior to other nations' cultural practices is rooted in political and historical approaches. How does the culture psychologically balance the idea of harmony with the harmfulness of degradation and ideology?

Luciano Emilio who we have already hailed as the best foreign signing by an MLS club not named David Beckham scored on a stoppage time header to give DC United a hard fought 1-1 draw with Chivas in the home leg of CONCACAF Champions Cup. In the other match Houston defeated Pachuca 2-0 with a finally fit Brian Ching scoring a goal for the Dynamo. The second leg will be played at 8,000 feet so Houston may need that two goal edge to have any sort of chance of advancing.

Providing Outreach to Women in the Community
Since the early 1980's, Little Company of Mary has recognized the unique healthcare needs of women by offering specialized patient and community health education programs geared specifically to women's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Since their formation, Women's Wellness Consultants have provided innovative wellness programs conducted by registered nurses. Their focus has always included the holistic approach of body, mind and spirit. The Women's Wellness Consultants logo was selected in 1988 to represent the work of these dedicated nurses. Their enrichment programs empowered women to make room in their lives for "self" with special attention to their body's own unique health issues.
The Women's Wellness Consultants offer more than 30 different creative design workshops, designed for women's groups - professional or social.
The Women's Wellness Consultants offer many programs and events to help women improve their energy and spirit. The certified specialists offer progressive and traditional resources for life enhancement such as:
- Courage to Quit
- Diabetes Center services
- Ionic Foot Detox (ion cleanse)
- Hypnosis for weight-loss
- Massage therapy
- Nutritional counseling
- Reflexology
- Tai Chi
The Women's Wellness Consultants also offer the C.H.E.E.R. Program (Choices, Humor, Enhancement, Education and Renewal) to help women with chronic illnesses enhance their lives through humor. The Women's Wellness Consultants have established successful outreach to women in the community to consult and partner with them in addressing their personal health needs.
The Women's Wellness Consultants are committed to advocating for women and empowering them to take control of their health through health awareness programs, screening for risk factors and providing opportunities for life style changes.
In 1985, the first Women's Wellness Weekend in the nation was introduced to women in this community. This weekend allowed women to come together and focus on their own needs. In 1985, 35 women attended and over the next 25 years, this number grew to almost 200. The weekends provided a myriad of fun, energetic programs including health screenings, education, exercise, and well deserved pampering such as healing massage. This weekend showcased a variety of services much needed by women in areas of cardiovascular health and cancer prevention. The Women's Wellness Weekend evolved into 3 signature events offered throughout the year engaging over 200 women as of the last event in September of 2011.
Although the Women's Wellness Consultants have a special commitment and mission to help women, these same dedicated nurses also provide health awareness, screening and lifestyle programs to men and children in the community as well as over 2000 employees and volunteers from the Little Company of Mary family. Their commitment to the physicians and Health Care Specialists of Little Company of Mary is evident as they showcase wellness service lines available to the community. The multitude of programs and screenings are provided at the Little Company of Mary Health Education Center located at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park.
As a result of the support of Little Company of Mary, a Humor Outreach Program was developed and sponsored by some wonderful women from the community. Today there is a program for patients in the hospital and an outpatient programs titled C.H.E.E.R.- Choices for Humor, Enhancement, Education, and Renewal. Both programs focus on using humor and a positive attitude to live healthier.
The Women's Wellness Consultants demonstrate the mission of the Sisters to women of the community as they manage the challenges that women must face in today's world. They truly represent a symbol in the community that Little Company Of Mary Hospital truly has the technology to heal and the mission to care.
Our passion and concern for women's health extends beyond our campus and into the community. We feature a wide variety of ongoing education classes and screenings to help women stay healthy. Our Health Education Center is located at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park.

|Having trouble getting kids to eat their greens? You're not alone!
Image: Shutterstock
I know this to be largely true; I was one of those picky eaters as a child, as was my brother (to a much larger degree than me). I mostly liked fruit, so much so that I told my mom I wanted to become a "fruititarian." She said no. My brother liked only plain things, like hamburgers with only meat and bun or "spaghetti" with no sauce--just noodles.
Here's a sample list of what I didn't like as a child:
- Tomatoes
- Carrots (these were on-again off-again)
- Mushrooms
- Pork
- Apple juice
- Grape juice
- Milk
- Fish (of any kind)
- Corn off the cob (but on the cob was fine, apparently)
- Onions
- Chunky bits of salsa or spaghetti sauce (but the juice part was fine)
Today, the only item solidly on that list still is mushrooms. I'm still not a huge fan of apple juice, pork, or fish, but I'll eat them in moderation.
Picky eating is hardly a rare problem, according to researchers at Duke University Medical Center. It's actually quite common among kids aged 2 to 6, but it can have some severe consequences. Twenty percent of children in this range qualified as selective eaters, while 18% were moderately picky, and 3% were severely selective. The differences between these categories can be hard to explain, but at the most severe end, children were such selective eaters that they couldn't eat with others.
Everyone knows somebody who would only eat hot dogs or something as a child; those kids were like severely selective. I'd say at least for a few years, my brother fit into this category (and maybe still does - today he is a vegan, but at least he's now selecting foods that give him nutritional value!).
Moderate or severely picky eaters showed symptoms of anxiety and other mental conditions, including a stronger predisposition towards depression and social anxiety. This is not to mention the obvious physical health problems that can be caused by too selective of a diet. On top of all of this, selective eating can strain the parent-child relationship, which can potentially damage the relationship later in life as well.
The problem is figuring out how to intervene and get kids to eat a wider variety of foods. Kids can have a number of reasons for being picky eaters, such as being hypersensitive to taste, or having had a negative experience with a specific type of food that makes them afraid to try new things. In any case, expressing this can be difficult or even impossible for children, so many are treated as if they're just misbehaving, and begin to associate certain foods with punishment,.
On the plus side, being a picky eater can be a sign that something is wrong, which allows parents to seek help from their doctors before things get out of hand.

Played Out is a layout about my daughter Christmas Morning. Once the presents were opened and the excitment wore off she fell asleep with all her new things surrounding her.
I tucked my journaling inside the cute bag that comes in the kit.
Love the AC Glitter Thickers and the rich blue ink spot!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Because of such a busy Spring, there are a few events I want to fill you in on over the next few Thursdays. You can call it my version of throwback Thursday. 🙂
The first event that I want to fill you in on is the baby shower a few friends and I hosted for another dear friend. Last Summer, I mentioned my friend Mariah got married in August. Just a few months after saying their "I dos", they were saying "a baby is on the way!".
The date of the baby shower was determined by the MCC sale date because we felt there would be more people available that weekend. Oh, wait. You don't know what the MCC sale is? That's ok. Because next Thursday I'll fill you in on those delicious details. 🙂
Because the baby shower was happening in the Spring, it was almost immediate we settled on the theme of Peter Cottontail. Why? Because Pintrest had adorable ideas.
The original thought was that we would host it at our house in the basement. But the closer the baby shower came and we received the guest list (there were over 50 people on that thing!), it became very clear it wasn't going to happen. Plus, we still weren't sure when our basement project would get started. It would have been my luck that the weekend before the shower, they showed up to have anything ripped up and concrete dust everywhere. So, we had to go to plan B. Our local senior center. And it worked out really, really well.
When our guests arrived, they were greeted with a washtub full of pansies along with a chalkboard sign welcoming them to the baby shower. I didn't get a picture of it. I'll blame it on baby shower brain. But, it was adorable.
Not only were there fifty people on the list, there were quite a few small children we knew would be in attendance. We wanted to make sure everyone felt welcome. Including the little ones. So, along with a pot of pansies to welcome guests right inside the door we had a small pail of chalk so they could draw on the sidewalk outside. I found the carrot chalk in the dollar aisle at Target.
Once the guests came into the main room, there were tables set up for guests to gather until the shower began. Knowing there were going to be quite a few guests and wanting them to feel as comfortable as possible, we wanted them to know where the bathroom was. That's important, right? So, we had them follow the bunny tracks. Literally.
We kept the table decorations pretty simple. My friend Mandy had the white table cloths, but ended up buying burlap to place in the middle of the table. We also placed a piece of fake grass (I found these at Hobby Lobby) and then put a few plastic Easter eggs on top, with a chocolate bunny in the middle. Mandy planted herbs in terracotta pots which were then placed around the grass. The herb pots were then used as parting gifts for our guests.
When Mandy and I first walked into the Senior Center, we first noticed the black, white, and red chairs. The black and white chairs were fine, but the red clashed. Bad. Real bad. So back in the storage closet they went! 🙂
Once we felt like most of the guests had arrived, we began our first game; break the water! You all probably know what the game is, but the basic idea is that you give each guest an ice cube with a tiny baby frozen inside. Don't think about it too hard. It's kind of a weird game. The only instruction I gave our guests was the first person who could "break the water" won the game. Keepin' it simple.
After this first game we opened up the buffet so our guests could enjoy some light snacks and beverages.
Need a close up of the cake? I thought so, because that cake was adorable and delicious!
We knew that guests who were at the beginning of the line would be finished eating before everyone else got their food, let alone had time to eat it. That's where Dana came in with her game.
I'm not exactly sure what her game was called, but involved having people close their eyes while they searched for baby safety pins in a pan of dried rice. When people first saw the pans they exclaimed this would be easy. There were only a few people who were able to get five or six in the minute they were given. HA! 🙂
The mom-to-be decided to give it a try…
Once everyone was through the line and had a chance to eat a bit of their food, we had Mariah sit in her "throne" to open up a few gifts. People aren't very excited she's having a baby.
I should mention this picture was taken pretty close to when people started arriving. When it was time to open gifts, this table was overflowing with items to help welcome a sweet baby into the world.
While Mariah opened and Dana and I helped organize the gifts for Mariah to take home, Mandi was busy too. She had a genius idea to not just make a list of what items Mariah received and who gave them to her, but to do this on Thank You cards.
That way when it came time for Mariah to write her Thank You notes, she was all set. Mandy even put the address on the sticky note!
Anticipating the gift opening would take a while and the little ones could get restless, we set up a play area in the back. This play area had books and even a gift bag for each of the kids at the baby shower.
Remember our table settings? They ended looking like this towards the end.
Adorable, no? I wish I would have thought about the Lego towers. 😉
Towards the end of the shower we were getting a bit worried about the time, as hostesses. With as many people as there were and as many gifts, we were getting a bit anxious on finishing in a timely manner. It's one of those things you worry about and then wonder why you worried about it after the fact. It was literally four o'clock on the dot when we wrapped things up and sent our guests on their way home with their beautiful parting gifts.
Love these ladies!
Mariah, it has been wonderful to see you become a momma within the last month. Much love to you and your little miracle!

I've had a crush on Jamie Oliver ever since he was The Naked Chef. He helps little kids eat healthy, his recipes are simple yet flavorful and flawless, and he's cute as a button. Who doesn't have a crush on Jamie Oliver? My boyfriend has a crush on Jamie Oliver. He even made me Jamie's risotto for my birthday.
I just purchased Jamie's America: Easy Twists on Great American Classics, and More & Jamie's Great Britain on amazon. I probably only cook a proper dinner about three or four nights per week. I'm confident that Jamie and I can change this to almost every night.
This recipe is classic Jamie - five simple ingredients, great flavors, and easy to make. Crunchy seasoned skin and with an inside like butter, these little guys make a great winter side dish to compliment meat or a plate of vegetables. This recipe was also an excuse for me to use my fancy little bottle of Fleur de Sel from The Meadow.
Baked New Potatoes with Sea Salt and Rosemary
Jamie Oliver
yields 4-6 servings
2 pounds 3-ounce Yukon gold or other small potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 sprigs of rosemary, leaves picked and bashed
Boil a pot of water. Preheat the oven to 425 F.
Wash potatoes and parboil until almost tender.
When done, drain them, drizzle with jolive oil and roll in sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and rosemary.
Put the potatoes in a roasting tray and cook in the oven for 25 minutes until golden, or wrap them in aluminum foil and throw them on the grill for the same amount of time.

CBD or Cannabidiol is a natural compound that is gaining popularity for its great medicinal properties. The best thing about CBD is the fact that it has all the benefits of THC (the active ingredient of cannabis) without any of its psychoactive effects. CBD can be formulated into an e-liquid and can be used in e-cigarettes and vape pens as an all-natural e-liquid.
So, what is CBD e-liquid and how can you use it? Well, let's find out, shall we?
What is CBD e-liquid?
The term CBD e-liquid is used to describe a fluid that is used for vaporizers, e-cigarettes, and vape pens. It is known by various other terms such as CBD vape oil and CBD vape juice as well.
The CBD vape juice is an oily substance that is obtained from the stems and stalks of the marijuana plant. It is not same as the hemp seed oil that is derived from hemp seeds and has a much lower concentration of CBD. The e-liquid is available in various flavors and dosages as well.
One of the most important things about CBD vape oil is the fact that unlike CBD capsules, it is fast acting. You don't have to wait for hours to see the effect of CBD with the vape oil as you do when you take CBD containing capsule. Hence, CBD vape oil can offer immediate relief, when you need it the most.
How does the CBD vape oil work?
CBD vape oil is very easy to use. All you need is a vape pen or an e-cigarette. When the CBD e juice is used in the e-cigarette, it is converted into thousands of microscopic particles that can be inhaled easily. The whole process is quite similar to the process of nebulization used to treat asthma. These ultrafine particles are easy to absorb into the blood from the lungs and show an almost instantaneous effect. The CBD ultrafine particles administered in this manner have a higher chance of being absorbed and retained compared to other means such as CBD containing capsules. Furthermore, as the CBD oil is non-habit-forming and has a least psychoactive effect, it is safe to use.
Vaping CBD
Currently, there are three methods of vaping CBD- mixed e-liquids, concentrated solutions and disposable products. However, the best way to vape CBD is by using it as e-liquid in vape pens and e-cigarettes.
The CBD e-liquids come in different strengths. The higher the CBD content, the stronger the e-liquid. The amount of CBD needed to offer relief depends from person to person and from ailment to ailment.
The best way to determine the dose of CBD that you need is to start high and work your way down. It is in contrast to nicotine, where you start small and go up in dosage.
CBD has a unique flavor to it ranging from earthy to grassy. Thankfully, CBD e-liquids are available in different flavors that can nicely complement the flavor profile of natural CBD.
What to look for in CBD e-liquid
There are a ton of options when it comes to CBD vape oil. However, if you want all the beneficial effects of the CBD vape juice, you have to be careful while purchasing it. Here are some of the things that you should pay attention to while buying CBD e-liquid.
1. The e-liquid should be homogeneous
One of the most important physical properties to look for is whether the liquid is 'homogenous' or not. What it means is that the e-liquid should be uniform throughout. There should be no particles, or the liquid should not separate into layers upon standing for a few hours.
One of the most critical tell-tale sign of a sub-par quality e-liquid is a separation into layers. If the formulation is not right, the liquid can separate easily into two (or sometimes, more) layers, which is not a sign of a quality product. CBD oil does not mix quickly and uniformly with the majority of e-liquid bases, and hence it is essential to pick a product that is formulated with care and precision.
If the CBD e-liquid has a problem of separation, it can get difficult for you to control your dosage and get the best out of your vape or e-cigarette.
2. The CBD e-liquid should be clear
If the CBD e-liquid is formulated correctly, it will be crystal clear. However, if the formulation is not optimized correctly, the liquid can turn cloudy. Make sure that the liquid that you choose is as transparent as possible. If you see that your e-liquid is murky or cloudy, stay away from it. Thankfully, it is easy to spot this characteristic as soon as the liquid is dispensed. So, make sure that you check the clarity of the vape juice before you consume it.
3. The product should meet label claims
Unfortunately, the CBD e-liquid industry is still in its infancy. As a result, many unscrupulous companies sell CBD e-liquid that has less CBD content than they advertise. As the value of the product depends only on the CBD content, make sure that you are purchasing the CBD vape juice from a reputable company. Many companies will offer you detailed test results to back up their CBD content claims. Make sure that you pay attention to these and don't buy from a company that refuses to offer these test results.
4. It should work in your vaporizer
One of the most common complaints about CBD e-liquid is that they don't work well with vaporizers. The reason for this is that many low-quality CBD-vape oils contain vegetable glycerine (VG), which can wreak havoc on the tanks of your vaporizers. However, if you purchase CBD from a reputable manufacturer, the chances are that you will not face this problem.
If the CBD e-liquid is cloudy or separates into layers, it is more likely to give you trouble with your e-cigarette or vaporizer.
CBD vape oil is an excellent, non-habit-forming cannabis-based product that offers significant medicinal benefits without the psychoactive effects. There is a substantial scientific evidence to prove that vaping CBD can have a pain-relieving, anti-emetic and anti-epileptic property. Just make sure that you are purchasing the CBD e-liquid from a trusted manufacturer and use it responsibly.

The Life and Times of Lïj Iyasu of Ethiopia
New Insights
Reihe: Northeast African History, Orality and Heritage
Bd. 3, 2014, 224 S., 29.90 EUR, 29.90 CHF, br., ISBN 978-3-643-90476-8
One hundred years ago, from 1910 to 1916 the young prince Lïj Iyasu (1897 - 1936) assumed power as the uncrowned emperor of Ethiopia. He was overthrown by an alliance of oligarchs led by the future emperor Hayle Sïllasé. The short reign of Iyasu, disrupted by fierce inner competitions in the international context of World War I, has remained obscure, even to specialized researchers. During the past two decades, however, new sources have come up, allowing to ask new questions and look for new answers. This book assembles diverse perspectives on Lïj Iyasu's politics and life, his `pluralistic' and controversial religious inclinations, and his international relations.
The editors: Éloi Ficquet, Ph.D., historian and social anthropologist, is assistant professor at the School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS), Paris, France, and former director of the French Center of Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa. Wolbert G.C. Smidt, Ph.D., ethno-historian, is associate professor at Mekelle University, Tigray, Ethiopia, and academic member of the Hiob Ludolf Centre at Hamburg University.

Create your escape when you career is heading south
You have spent some time in your career, going to interviews, meetings, conventions and landed a few jobs here and there. You could of been in a career in your industry for some time but for some reason you may feel its still not working for you. There can be a number of reasons you decide your career isn't working for you anymore. One of the most important steps for you now is to find out why that career isn't doing it for you anymore, and can you really bear another year, month, week, or day at your current job. Once you have this step completed and answered honestly, you can either stick it out or you can now start to plot your escape from the drudgery of your current career/job.
The unfulfilled feeling
If you are like most people you have just simply fell into the position out are in now, whether you went to school and studied what your parents wanted or just randomly got stuck in a job, there could be many reasons. But because of this you never got the chance to explore other opportunities to see what you really like and get that fulfilled feeling from. If there is a project at work where you might get to tryout an aspect of the job that might make you feel alive again I say go for it, and after you do that assignment and you still have that empty feeling then it might be time to look for something else my friend.
Your degree isn't good enough
In some instances the degree you have isn't good enough, certain employers look into where your degree is from, what type of degree you have, what your educational accomplishments were. If your degree is what the problem is then you have a few options to get passed this problem. You can "fluff" your degree with added qualifications. Go to a certification class and get some certifications. Gain a good amount of experience, experience will always make up for what your degree is lacking in. You can find a internship/volunteering position where you are gaining much need experience. Last but not least you can go back to school and get the parts of you degree your missing, fulfilled.
There are no opportunities to grow
There may not be opportunities for you to advance in your career, you could have been at your job for a few years and not been offered an opportunity to advance or a raise etc. First thing you need to do is find out if this is a regularity throughout the entire industry or just your specific position. If it is a regular thing for people to be over looked in you current industry, then that means your in a dead-end job AND its time to get out!
Your career field is drying up
Nowadays there are many industries that are either getting outsourced or businesses shutting down. If this sounds like its the tone of your industry then it is time for you to make your next move, and you have to work quickly because your working days are numbered. See if you can migrate over to a more stable company, where you might survive the business shrinkage. If you think it would be best to completely leave the industry, you can try to find a career that closely relates to your current skills—one where your skills can transfer over easily.
There are no jobs, no one is hiring
One of the most debilitating aspects of this problem is when you are a new graduate, straight out of school and into a industry that is in the process of its downward spiral. But all hope isn't lost, in the mean time of the industry going through its phases (dying and being reborn in a sense), now is a good time to get experience. A good way to continue to gain experience is by volunteering at relevant positions. When the time comes for you to get a real job and the industry is looking really bad and you get no call backs for job opportunities, then sorry to tell you it is time for you to look for a change in career paths.

SMYTHSON has hired former Burberry chief operations officer Andy Janowski as its new CEO. Janowski - who has been a member of Smythson's board for the past 18 months - takes over the CEO duties from Smythson's owner, Jacques Bahbout, who also serves as the label's chairman.
"Smythson is now poised on the cusp of an exciting new period of expansion and international growth," said the label's owner and chairman Jacques Bahbout. "We have built an extraordinary team whose skill and dynamism will thrive under Andy's outstanding leadership and expertise in the luxury industry. Coupled with remarkable strategic proficiency, Andy brings the energy and acuity of vision needed to realise the brand's full potential."
Janowski was chosen for the role due to his "deep understanding of the luxury consumer" and "innate ability to drive a business". He began his career in 1989 at Banana Republic, later moving to Gap as its vice president of production and supply chain. In 2006, he joined Burberry as senior vice president of supply chain and was promoted to chief operations officer in 2009.
"The opportunity to join such an iconic British luxury brand and build towards fulfilling its tremendous potential is extremely rare," said Janowski. "Smythson's remarkably rich heritage and reputation presents fertile ground for growth, and I am very much looking forward to working together with our team to broaden the brand's horizons."
