Not Your Father's Private Label
This article originally appeared in Progressive Grocer, a leading trade publication covering the retail food industry. View
Private Label Isn't What It Used to Be on ProgressiveGrocer.com.
Private label isn't what it used to be. Grocers are no longer filling the gaps in their shelves with generic products, they're making way for exclusive private label brands. Shoppers are going out of their way to pick up an exclusive private label product that can only be found in a specific store.
History of Private Label
Historically, private label within the U.S. market has been thought of as "generic" or "second tier." This second-tier status led to growth during periods of recession, when consumers were willing to trade their preference for national brands, which were perceived as having higher quality, for a lower-cost private label option. Given this situation, private label would also fall out of favor during periods of prosperity, when customers felt comfortable spending more for higher-quality products.
The long-term positioning of private label described above is shifting to a new dynamic that's essential for grocery players to understand. Not only are brands investing in developing higher-end, premium private label products, they're also building loyalty for these brands, which in some cases consumers don't even recognize as "store brands." Despite overall economic prosperity today, private label is growing as data from Nielsen POS demonstrates.
Much of this growth is due to expansion beyond traditional categories and the growth of physical stores that focus largely on private label, such as Trader Joe's, Aldi and Lidl.
Supply 'Drivers' Behind the Change
Three supply side issues are driving the shift in private label positioning:
Need to differentiate: The key advantage of convenience that grocers once enjoyed has been eliminated by intense competition from mass retailers and ecommerce players. Traditional retailers are struggling to create a reason for people to maintain their physical shopping habits. Unique store brands present a reason to go into a store.
Cost control: Private label brands allow retailers to remove or significantly reduce marketing costs.
An explosion of options: Direct-to-consumer (DTC) players are offering consumers new ways to engage with unfamiliar brands and products every day. One example of the DTC dynamic is ecommerce power player Brandless, which touts its ability to eliminate the "brand tax" that retailers pass onto consumers. DTC options like Brandless are forcing traditional retailers to create their own brands to keep option-loving customers engaged.
Demographic Changes
Three demographic trends are combining with the supply-driven trends mentioned above to increase consumer interest in private label brands. These three trends, while seemingly contradictory on the surface, are essential to understanding the new wave of private label:
Brand love and the Millennial myth: One huge myth in marketing today is that Millennials don't care about brands. This is a massive misconception. Millennials love brands, as evidenced by Magid's "2017 Retail Pulse" study. In fact, Millennials have greater preference for established national brands than Gen Xers and Boomers.
Brand trust: Millennials, like all customers, have a higher desire to trust the brands they are engaged with, and this is even more important in grocery. Brand trust is rated far more highly in grocery than eight other major industries that Magid measured in its "2017 Retail Pulse" study. This desire for brand trust, combined with a growing distrust for large national brands, has cultivated an opportunity for retailers to create private label brands that people feel are better designed for their personal preferences.
Brand switching: While Millennials love their brands, they're not as brand loyal, and they prefer to "discover" brands. This can be seen in the large number of Millennials who shop three or more grocery stores each month.
The Retail Imperative: Shoot for the Moon
Retailers shouldn't undervalue their private label offering. Keep it premium. Falling into the "low-end price trap" just to draw traffic will not serve brands well.
Understand customer preferences. Recognizing that every audience is unique and heightening a customer's shopping experience will lead to success in retail. Don't try to be everything to everyone. Given that customers are opting for more grocery options means a retailer doesn't need to carry every brand and option. In fact, offering too many brands may water down the unique message you're creating.
Create a private label story that understands category differences. Building store brands, especially if there's strong store recognition – e.g., Whole Foods 365 or Trader Joe's – that covers multiple product lines allows for the most opportunity. Identify categories where offerings are limited, or where your shoppers are frequency purchasing.
Retailers Benefit
The growth potential that private label offers retailers is significant from both a defensive and offensive perspective. Defensively, building a unique and engaging brand will allow grocery retailers to maintain traffic and differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded space. Offensively, this strategy allows retailers to reach more affluent consumers who are more likely to purchase higher-margin products.

|Dutch justice to prosecute unauthorised online operators
The Ministry of Justice of The Netherlands announced to take legal action against online betting operators that offer their services to Dutch citizen. It will also take action against financial institutions that take transactions from such sites.
The planned action will face resistance from the banks, which already rejected earlier plans by the Ministry to blacklist unauthorised sites.
According to recent market research by Holland Casino, the single licensed national operator, online gambling has almost doubled in the last three years to 450 million euros in 2008. Similar to its French counterparts, the Dutch terrestrial casino operator wants to start its own online operation.

Ionic Wind Generator Powers Sustained Flight—with No Moving Parts!
The team flew the plane a distance of 60 meters in a large, sweeping arc in 10 trials at MIT's duPont Athletic Center. "This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system," said Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. "This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions."
"It took a long time to get here," Barrett says. "Going from the basic principle to something that actually flies was a long journey of characterizing the physics, then coming up with the design and making it work. Now the possibilities for this kind of propulsion system are viable." The flight required an incredible 40,000 volts of electricity—enough to strip electrons from nitrogen atoms in the ambient atmosphere. Images courtesy of MIT news video.

Danielia Cotton: Good Day
Adrian Sutherland: Right Here
His home area on the James Bay in Attawapiskat First Nation has been more isolated than usual through the pandemic due to restrictions on flights - the only way in and out. With no access to recording studios, Sutherland "realized he'd have to fully DIY it," according to a press release. "So he spent last fall constructing and preparing his own recording space in a metal shipping container on his property. This spring, Adrian was finally able to start working remotely and interactively with producers and musicians from inside his 'sea-can studio'" to complete the album. This single follows "Respect the Gift," which we featured in January.

Sleater-Kinney: Path of Wellness
Paste magazine is mostly positive, calling the record "rooted in a yearning for love and stability during wildly unstable times." Remaining members Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker "are not aiming to replicate the sound they had with ex-drummer Janet Weiss ... Path of Wellness is not quite a consistently triumphant reinvention, but it's far from the dud some Weiss loyalists anticipated. What results is a very good, occasionally uneven effort ... What [it] lacks in sonic urgency, it makes up for with a vintage classic-rock swagger."

Federico Restrepo (center) and the Loco7 ensemble in URBAN ODYSSEY. Photo by Lee Wexler/ImagesForInnovation.org.
BOTTOM LINE: A beautiful movement and object theatre tale of immigration to America.
As giant puppets swoop in while floor-shaking drumbeats jar and disrupt any lingering outside thoughts, La MaMa's Ellen Stewart Theatre becomes a transportational vehicle, taking the audience from the known to the unexplored. Brushing off the noise and grime from the gritty East Village, the visual language of Federico Restrepo and Denise Greber's Urban Odyssey is a stark change from the familiar life carrying on only moments before the theatre lights were extinguished. Like the dancers and puppets that swirl about and above throughout, the audience become immigrants, too, finding their way through the tidily rich landscape of this visually evocative piece.
Underscored by all manner of quirky sound-making instruments (as well as more traditional musical accompaniment), Urban Odyssey explores the American immigration process through dance, movement, and puppetry. Starting from the very beginning with the impetus to leave the motherland, the story winds through to the joyous moment of Edenic harmony found in the New World of America, quickly followed by the ultimate reality check and bubble burst. The piece possesses clarity and precision in spades, and though conveys a certain type of immigrant and certain process of immigration, it hits notes of poignant universality throughout.
A Columbian immigrant himself, Restrepo initially began creating based on his own immigration experience, his own feelings of displacement and forced exploration. That personal and emotional connection that stems from his own story and transition is entirely evident in the work, and Restrepo has finely imbued his dancers (many of whom are immigrants themselves) with this potent, emotive force. The journey is a combination of three separate dance suites, each created over the last decade, culminating in the final epic piece.
Clear and powerful, Restrepo's imagery is highly conceptual and symbolic. Though, at times, these sharp images become a bit too didactic, especially when coupled with narrative. Indeed, the large-scale puppetry, mask work, and tight choreography so well depict the storyline that the spoken narrative feels slightly unnecessary and cumbersome, when the effective and unique imagery could serve better without it. At one point, Restrepo evokes Juan Valdez, or rather a conflation of him and his donkey, on the one hand a clever and whimsical image, on the other a dismal (if slightly heavy handed) reminder of the clear correlation between migrant worker's working conditions and the lot of pack animals, and this work is done beautifully and very much without the need for verbal communication. Delightfully, too, Restrepo takes some visual potshots at those corporate bigwigs that no country seems rid of at this swell point of globalized commerce.
Overall, Urban Odyssey is a visual treat, though lags at certain moments and hinders its own strength at times with repetitive narrative. The imagery is so strong that spoken text almost seems too plain and undeserving to share the same marley.
(Urban Odyssey plays at La MaMa's Ellen Stewart Theatre, 66 East 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and Bowery, through April 8th. Performances are Thursday at 7:30pm, Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:30pm. Tickets are $25 ($20 for students/seniors) and are available at lamama.org or by calling 212.475.7710.)

There are a few active debates on LinkedIn, of course, between recruiters and candidates on why we ask for your salary.
It's about time this gets addressed frankly.
Honestly, we don't care to keep more personal information on file (POPI Act admin). Most of the time you are "underpaid", haven't received an increase in years and you've done your research and you know you're worth it! Great, we got your back. If you can prove you worth it, what's the problem?
Well most companies, when starting an HR / Recruitment contract with most agencies require these checks and documents:
ID verification
Qualification verification
Credit and criminal checks (in some instances)
A copy of payslip.
I'm not making this up. Honestly. this is the requirement from us or we don't get paid. Do you honestly think we want to have another argument over documents when we already on thin ice with you? We want to make this process as painless as possible.
Think about it, even when you haven't used a recruiter and you were at the offer stage, HR probably asked you for your payslip, right? And I'm not saying all companies do, but hey, if we going to charge a fee to be an extension of HR, we are going to be expected to do the work.
But we on your side. Hopefully, SA will follow soon with some States law that it is now illegal to ask for current salary. (http://www.askamanager.org/2016/08/the-first-state-has-made-it-illegal-to-ask-about-salary-history.html)

Supershine is a classy heavy rock effort which swings between psychedelia and doom with ease and summarily sounds like it could have simply been the next Trouble record were the members to go beyond merely jamming once a year and record something. Supershine will certainly appeal to the fans of the aforementioned bands, as well as groups like Kyuss and Masters of Reality (not to mention the Pink Floydish closing ballads here) and is as such an album to take home. - Ali "The Metallian" Interviews Supershine

Rendezvous Café and Catering
Hidden away east of 101 is a relatively new café called Rendezvous, part of Redwood City's Sobrato Center for Nonprofits, a group of youth development, housing, health and human service providers. Rendezvous is a program of CALSO, a California nonprofit whose parent organization Groupe SOS is headquartered in Paris.
Classified as a "social enterprise," Rendezvous offers work opportunities to the underserved of Silicon Valley – people who dropped out of school, people with a history of incarceration, homeless youth, teen parents, etc. – and empower them to become self-sufficient through a food-oriented training program.
Employees of Rendezvous come through San Mateo County's 12-week Job Train program, and enter year-long work at Rendezvous. The goal is to take 85 people per year through the program to better employment and a better life.
Chef Charles Crossley offers a classic lunch menu including grass –fed burgers and gluten free options. I had the Minnestone soup ($5.95), with a deep umami flavor-flave, even though the soup was vegetarian. I also enjoyed the Grownup PB & J, a grilled yum of almond butter, fig jam, melted goat cheese and caramelized red onion ($5.95). The café keeps prices all under $10.
It's a bright breezy café open to the public from 8 AM – 3 PM, with lots of room to set up your computer and get some good work done over the free wifi. Important to note is any 501c3 nonprofit can reserve a free conference room in the Sobrato Center for meetings or gatherings. Get details on their website.
And if you'll need food while there, or at any lunchtime gathering around town, remember Rendezvous for catering.
Tava Kitchen
Next a visit to Palo Alto's Tava Kitchen to test out it's new "no boundaries" menu, a fusion of Indian and South Asian cuisine. Tava has a full-flavored focus with a modern, handmade touch, from the roti, to their spice mix and chutney's. Every item has an extra zing, and vegetables are given the respect they deserve. Match your Chicken Tikka with Crunchy Kale & Quinoa, and the Chilled Brussels Sprouts & Grapes. Or combine Braised Beef and Pineapple Gastric Glazed Sweet Potatoes with South Asian Mac & Cheese (sharp cheddar and jack cheese with a South Asian crumb topping). The Candied Pistachios make a super side much, and Slow Braised Chicken was my favorite. Tava, any chance you'd share that recipe with Food Party! readers?
Co-founder Hasnain Zaidi opened Tava with his Duke friends Vijay Brihmadesam and Jason Pate) He's a cute, young entrepreneur, so full of positive energy, you know it transfers into his restaurant and food. I love meeting this new generation of sincerely pumped up business owners trying to change the food world. Go Tava!
The Tech Museum of Innovation
Then a stop at The Tech in San Jose this past Tuesday for Bio + Hacking. It was a one-night event, but you can still check out their ongoing Bio Design studio. Two stations caught my eye during the event. The first we built bricks out of mushrooms and agriculture waste. A mushroom "root" system grows throughout the brick to form a solid mass, super light-weight and biodegradable. They are being grown as a foam replacement for packaging and building materials, and Mycoworks CEO Sophia Wang said future uses are a possible replacement for leather.
The second station was by The Odin, an online business that sells bio hacking supplies to the public. Owner Josiah Zayner hosted an amino acid taste test. He, Ph. D, is all into "Crisper." We sample 8 of the 20 amino acids in pure form. The difference in flavor was dramatic. Glycine tasted like sugar with honey. Proline was a very complex mix of bitter and sweet. Cystein like rotten eggs, Glutamic Acid was big in umami flavor. I was fascinated thinking how one might use this in commercial food products. Who knew you could taste individual amino acids?
The Milk Pail
Lastly, a quick shout out to The Milk Pail for its staying power, 42 years and counting. I was surprised during a recent drive-by, at the intensive development surrounding this charming European produce and specialty market, off San Antonio in Mountain View, and even more surprised to see that the market survived it! Their parking lot has moved and now open, so stop by next time you are in the hood and support this classic community establishment. A great place for produce, cheeses and a lot of international foods you can find nowhere else.

One of the big downsides of a late Monday night game is the quick turnaround. There's simply no time for the Broncos to lick their wounds and recover from the 24-16 loss to Oakland with Chicago coming to town.
For us fans, that's probably a good thing as we don't have to dwell too long with another game quickly approaching. To get some insight into the Bears, I spoke with Aaron Leming, who writes for Windy City Gridiron.
1st and 10
I know week 1 tends to lead to some overreactions, so I have to ask: What are your thoughts on Mitch Trubisky's performance and how does he rebound over the rest of the 2019 season?
Leming: Week 1 is always a mixed bag, as we've seen with some of the results of this weekend so far.
With that in mind, concerns with Trubisky can't be limited to his performance on Thursday night. A lot of what he displayed (dropping eyes with pressure, poor footwork and locking onto a single read or side of the field) have been issues ranging back to his rookie year. I went on record multiple times this offseason and really the only thing I called for this season from the third year-quarterback was more consistency.
The Bears talked about consistent and incremental progress but what we saw in Week 1 was a sizable step back from that. That's really the concern right now. Now, obviously that doesn't mean he's exactly the quarterback we saw in Week 1 but the lack of consistency and overall progression in those key areas I highlighted above is what makes this a sizable concern.
I'm not one to rush to judgment, especially when determining who a player is or will be. With that in mind, if he's still struggling with these same things mid-season, I think we'll have our answer about who he is as a quarterback.
2nd and 7
What other position groups have you most concerned heading into a game against Vic Fangio?
Leming: The offense as a whole is a big concern for me moving into Sunday's game against the Broncos. Again, I'm not going to overreact to a single game but if the Bears offense struggled against a Mike Pettine-led defense, how can I expect that to get any better against a defensive minded head coach who knows this team's offense like the back of his hand?
The main positional group I'm worried about is the offensive line. They struggled mightily against Green Bay. Now, they are going against a unit that knows what they'll be doing and has Von Miller and Bradley Chubb? Good luck, Trubisky.
I think the big key for the Bears being able to counteract that will be establishing a consistent and productive run game. In Thursday night's game, they had 12 true run calls and attempted to throw the ball 53 times. Needless to say, a balanced attack is a big question for me and probably the key to the Bears offense getting anything going against a top-end defense like the Broncos.
3rd and 3
Broncos Country spent a large part of the summer studying up on Vic Fangio's defense to see how things would change for Denver's defense this season. I've been wondering how big the adjustment from him to Pagano has been for the Bears?
Leming: That's actually been one of the most talked about topics within Bears circles, here.
What we've seen so far is about what I've expected from Chuck Pagano. Fangio was very consistent. He didn't blitz a ton and you usually knew who would be rushing the passer and what the coverage was going to be for the most part. Under Pagano, they blitzed a lot more in Week 1 on top of simply sending a multitude of different pass rushers to the quarterback.
The other big thing I noticed that has been different so far has been Pagano's willingness to rotate players. In the early going, we saw a lot of rotations coming on the defensive line, edge rushers and he even mixed things up with the defensive backs. Luckily for the Bears, they have a good amount of depth on the defensive line and one of those depth pieces Roy Robertson-Harris had a monster game because of it.
All in all, I've been told that a lot of the overall terminology is similar, as well as the overall philosophy. I think we are going to see subtle differences like I listed above but when all is said and done, I'm just expecting more man coverage from the defensive backs and more exotic fronts to get to the quarterback.
4th and 8
What matchups look most favorable to the Bears heading into week 2?
Leming: On paper, I believe the Bears have a good advantage when talking about their defensive line against the Broncos' offensive line. That's not really a knock against the Broncos either. The Bears just have a lot of depth and top-end talent at the position and can usually take advantage of less mobile quarterbacks like Joe Flacco.
Offensively, the matchup I like for the Bears will be in the run game and the short/intermediate pass game. I expect to see a high level of commitment to the run game. I also expect to see tight end Trey Burton back. With the combination of those two things, I expect the Bears to attack short and quick, at least in attempt to get Trubisky into some sort of rhythm. The one thing I will say is that the offense is much different when Burton is on the field, even if he's simply garnering attention.
All in all, I think that this is actually a pretty evenly matched game and despite me believing the Bears have the advantages in those areas, I wouldn't call them massive.
Who will win Sunday?
This poll is closed
Broncos by a little.
Broncos by a lot.
Bears by a little.
Bears by a lot.

Teams from five PRAVOKATOR legal clubs began developing training programs to promote the professional development of employees of the legal aid system and partners.
On January 9-10, 2019, with the support of the project Quality and Accessible Legal Aid in Ukraine, club members participated in training on the development of coaching skills and design of training programs conducted by trainer Iryna Glushchenkova. At the end of the training cycle, participants will develop unique training products for different stakeholders of the LA system.
During the two days, participants discussed the trainer's tricks, in particular:
- distinctions of trainings from other forms of learning;
- key skills and attitudes of the trainer;
- principles of teaching adults and teaching styles;
- structure and key elements of the development of the training program;
- the main stages of preparation for the training, including the study of training needs, as well as planning of the evaluation of the training results.
Future trainers had the opportunity to work on the matrix of the training goals they would develop, use various training development tools, including the "mounting table" technology, as well as explore various methods of working with the group, and so on. The next step is to conduct individual coaching sessions during the development of training programs and the testing of the developed trainings.

Trusted identities for mobile devices and smart cards
HID Global has presented their list of top trends for 2017. They forecast a shift in the use of identity technology that will lead to increased adoption of mobile devices and the latest smart card technology. We can also expect greater emphasis and reliance on the cloud, and a radical new way of thinking of trust in smart environments and Internet of Things (IoT).
HID Global focuses on four significant trends in 2017 that will influence how organizations create, manage and use trusted identities in a broad range of existing and new use cases. During the coming weeks, the Future Lab will highlight each specific trend individually. First is the stronger adoption of mobile devices and advanced smart cards which will underscore the need for trusted identities.
Adoption of mobile devices and smart cards drive need for trusted identities
Consumerization of security. Similar to the adoption of consumer trends to IT in past years, 2017 will also see further consumerization of security, with heightened demand from users seeking to open doors, and login to cloud-based resources, as well as have personalized on-demand printing of documents, and to deploy printed credentials remotely or conduct other transactions and daily activities using trusted IDs on their phone, wearable or smart card.
2017 will see further consumerization of security
Trusted IDs that integrate security, privacy and convenience will provide a new level of assurance to these applications and transactions, while being uniquely positioned to make secure access more personalized to the individual.
Identity relationship management. The industry will look towards complete identity relationship management that considers the need to grant access based on the context or circumstances for risk-appropriate authentication across trusted identities assigned to people, devices, data and things in smart offices, buildings and other environments that are becoming more connected every day.

I have a dog, Mr. Benjamin. He is my heart. Ive had him since he was 8 weeks. He is seven now. Every chance I get to spoil the lil booger, I do and I really wanted the smaller crate for him. When I got home I decided to see what the online comparisons were. This DOG CRATE is actually $60 cheaper, it includes free shipping and it has the option of black. All of that sounds really good because I dont have to try to lug it in my car, to take it home. It is a bit different, but her for $60 cheaper I can be okay with different.
THIS particular model is slightly different as well, It has a few similar features, but I dunno.
I saw this airliner wing table a few weeks ago at another HomeGoods. I know quite a few people who work as flight attendants and they would absolutely LOVE this table. If you dont have this table in your local HomeGoods, you can try THIS OPTION, or THIS ONE. I personally like it as a DESK, seen HERE. If I had a loft space, I would get it. Since I don't...PILLOWS are a great alternative to place in your chairs if you can't find this exact set of chairs.
these boxes, dont they?
THIS PAIR, THESE and THESE.

I joked a few weeks ago about how being a PA in my previous life had prepared me for motherhood thanks to my experience of juggling diaries for numerous directors and Heads of Departments! I was wrong! I am now drowning in diary madness so I had no choice but to come up with a plan to manage my family's schedule!
I thought I was being so clever having my girls close together, but the reality turned out to be very far removed from that ideal! It's hard work! It's chaos! It's never really knowing who needs to be where for what or when! Don't get me started on the fighting!
What's the problem?
I am now faced with the scenario where I am trying to juggle Grade One school requirements with my husband's work travel plans and charitable endeavors, not forgetting the fact that my four-year old deserves to have her own extra-curricular activities too, oh and not forgetting that I'm a human too (and a blogger!). The reality is that I am literally drowning in diary clashes and the conflicting needs of my family.
I know I am not alone in this so this week I decided it was time to 'get a grip' of my family's diary! Here is how I am attempting to bring order to the chaos! Please note that I said "Attempting", I'm not necessarily winning, but hopefully time will tell!
Step 1: A Blank Canvas
Get yourself a blank monthly calendar for at least the first three months of the year. You can either find these in some A4 diary planners but I just printed off one from my Office Outlook program!
Step 2: The Schedules
who is most important which diary really impacts your life the most and start filling in their requirements first! Repeat for the remaining family members using different colour pens for each person.
Step 3: Conflict Management
Once your handwritten calendar looks like a spider stepped in ink and ran the length of the Comrades Marathon across your pages, get a highlighter and highlight any major conflicts that you see.
Step 4: Everything Else
Don't forget to make a note of world events that might impact your neat plan, such as school holidays, public holidays and religious events. Note things that affect normal schedules such as public holidays, or holiday plans
Step 5: Make a call
At some point you might be forced to cut some things out that just become impossible! For instance, swimming lessons would trump art class for me, and my daughter's birthday would trump a motorbike rally (just saying), but this is the hard part where you need to decide what is best for your family.
Step 6: Do it all again!
No, I'm not joking. Print off a new blank canvas and rewrite everything in a neat chronological order because I can guarantee that at some point the 'Parent's Evening at 18.00' landed up being at the top of the box and the 'Pack Swimming Costumes For School' is at the bottom! That's not ideal!
Step 7. Put It Up!
Pin it to the fridge or family notice board and then forbid everyone from adding to or deleting from the schedule without prior authorization – preferably written as otherwise you won't have evidence when it all goes tits up! This mostly applies to husbands! Kids wouldn't dare!
Additional Options:
1. Instead of a hand written diary you could go 'all out' and type one up using Excel! This allows you to colour coordinate it all and make it look all neat and orderly. However, I guarantee if you print it off and stick it on the fridge you're gonna end up scribbling something on it at some point! #justsaying
2. Family Share Calendar function on your smart phone. I really can't speak for any other phones but the iPhones have a Family Share option which allows a family group to share a calendar! I love it! It's the easiest and best way for my husband and I to keep track of IMPORTANT events. He doesn't care when swimming lessons are, and I don't care what meetings he's sitting in. He does need to know about Sports Events, Parents Evenings and our anniversary; I need to know what city he's in and when I
should clean the house can expect him home for dinner. I suppose it's also useful for trying to plan date night or weekends away. It's been a while though so I'm not really sure I remember how this works!
Obviously this is the way that I do it. It works for me and my family but I'd love to know how you keep track of your family's commitments? Let me know if the comments below.
Thanks for reading. If you liked this post, please share it. Hopefully this will help you organise your family's schedule!

Original British WWII Early 3rd Pattern Broad Arrow Marked Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife with Scabbard
Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good example of an early "Third Pattern" British Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger, with a blacked brass handle and original scabbard. As brass was a "strategic material," only the early examples of the third pattern have brass handles, with later war produced models having blacked alloy handles. The handle dates production to late 1943 - early 1944. The knives varied somewhat in size, and this example measures 11 5/8", with a 7 inch blade. It example comes with the standard belt scabbard, with broken elastic at the top, which is definitely WWII production, and well broken in.
Condition of the knife is very good, still with relatively sharp edges, and some of the original black finish on the blade. The plain blued steel cross guard is tight on the blade with no wobble, and still has most of the original finish. It is marked with I over a British "Broad Arrow" proof on one side, with ENGLAND on the other. This marking was required when many were exported as surplus post WWII for the collector's market. The handle is overall very good with lots of original original black finish in the recesses of the grip.
The original scabbard is in good condition, with the expected wear from being used in service. The leather is well broken in and soft, with some creasing and a few small tears. The brass chape is still present, but has some denting at the bottom. It still has the original elastic strap at the top. however it tore through long ago.
An increasingly hard to find knife that would fit into any British WWII collection.
Blade length: 7"
Blade Style: Spear Point Knife
Overall length: 11 5/8"
Crossguard: 2"
Scabbard length: 7 5/8" with belt loop
History of the Fairbairn-Sykes British commando dagger:
The demand for a good fighting knife was so very urgent that a meeting was arranged in November 1940 between W. E. Fairbairn, E. A. Sykes and Jack Wilkinson Latham at Wilkinson Sword Company. Fairbairn and Sykes described the type of knife they envisioned and the purpose for which it was intended. As discussion continued, preliminary sketches were drawn up and modified time and time again.
As Robert Wilkinson Latham tells it: 'In order to explain exactly their point, the two men rose to their feet and one, it was Fairbairn my grandfather mentioned, grabbed the wood ruler from his desk and the two men danced around the office in mock combat'.
The very first 1st Pattern F-S Fighting Knives were made in November 1940. In January 1941the full war full production started, according to Robert Wilkinson Latham. The grip was made from solid brass and cut by 16 lines per inch in a diamond pattern. The grip and hand guard were nickel plated. The hand guard was curved to S-shape. The blade was grounded by hand. For this reason it is difficult to find two blades of exactly the same size and shape. This model was produced in very limited numbers.
The very first 1st Pattern Wilkinson Sword F-S knives were ordered the 14th of November 1940. Order 294 mentions 500 'RBD and Commercial knives' but possibly less. They were called in this way in the order to disguise the actual type of knife. The 1st Pattern was delivered from November 1940 until April 1941. 17th of December 1940 5000 "hunting knives" were ordered. This order concerned the first 1st Pattern knives. Price for each was 13 s 6d. All together 6,779 - 1st pattern were made.
However, as wartime demand increased, it was necessary to simplify and speed up production. Furthermore strategically important materials like brass were now in short supply. This meant that crucial changes were made to the knife design, resulting in the "Second Pattern" commando dagger, produced from August 1941 until October 1943.
While the handle design remained the same, it was cast with a hollow core meaning that it could be made using less brass. The s-shaped guard was replaced by a simpler flat design and the flat ricasso was removed from the base of the blade, enabling a more straight forward grind which could be done by machine. The scabbard's press-stud was replaced by an elastic retaining strap. It is important to note that as there was no official specification to cover the knife, many subtle variations from the period can be seen. In September 1942, the bright finish was replaced by the now more familiar blacked knife. The scabbard chape was also blacked to help prevent the metal from reflecting light.
In October 1943, to further expedite production, further changes to the design were made, which resulted in the "Third Pattern", which is in production to this day. The dagger was being made at a number of different companies, many based in the Sheffield area, and these changes were mainly motivated from their end, not the field end. Most manufacturers now favored a fully machine ground blade, such that the central grinding line ran the complete length of the blade. The checkered knurled handle was replaced by one with 27 concentric rings to aid grip, thought to be the idea of Joseph Rodgers of Sheffield. The brass handle material was then replaced with a non-strategic alloy as production continued. The new handle was easier to cast and would have been requiring of little or no remedial work.

Grace, the housekeeper at the Faculty of Health Science offices, brought me a box of pumpkin leaf greens Friday afternoon. She had asked me earlier if I would like some, reminding me that she had given me some last year when I was here. As I recalled, they were quite tasty the way she had instructed me to prepare them, so last night I had a mess of pumpkin leaf greens for supper, along with my boiled veggies. Grace taught me to cook the greens with a tablespoon or two of peanut butter, along with diced onion and a teaspoon of sunflower seed oil. After bringing them to a boil, I let them simmer for about thirty minutes, and they were delicious! I could eat them two or three times a week, and the good news is that they are in season.
I have a follow-up to the frog story (see my last blog.) I couldn't believe my eyes, but when I was getting ready for bed last night, there was a frog in the toilet again!. Light tan in color, it was simply sitting above the water line, a little higher up in the toilet bowl than the last time. This time I scooped it into a cardboard box and took it outside to release it. I don't think it was the same frog as last time as it seemed a bit smaller, but the frog tribe certainly has found an unusual way to get into the house. I'm going to ask the maintenance staff to check the drainage pipes Monday. In the meantime, I'm keeping a close eye on that toilet!

A tracked stingray with a deadly venomNaming a tank after a fish could seem strange, but given the appearance and characteristics of the model, it made sense. First off, the fast and sleek Myliobatoidei sting is lethal for its potential prey, but the wedgy look of both the turret and hull also contributes to this relation, which was essentially a commercial catch name. In relation to the family of air-transportable, fast light tank program like the HSTV/HIMAG (1978-82) it had the same light prismatic hull and light aluminum alloy hull. However, it reverted to torsion bar suspensions instead of hydropneumatic ones. Developed as a private venture by Cadillac Gage, now the Textron Marine & Land Systems division, however it was not intended to compete for the future replacement to the M551 Sheridan (later developed as the much better protected M8 AGS Buford) but for the export market, perhaps after the success of the M41 Walker Bulldog. The Stingray, however, will not match the company's expectations, as only a hundred was sold to the Royal Thai Army.
Development (1983-87)To make it competitive, this model was less technologically advanced than the HSTV but relied on as many existing components of other American armored fighting vehicles as possible to keep costs down. The emphasis was naturally given to mobility and armament, to the detriment of armour, in a classic light tank/cavalry pattern. So it was able to match MBTs but relied on speed and its own maneuvering capabilities to evade or out-flank MBTs. Cadillac Gage studies were launched in 1983, and the first prototype was delivered in August 1984, but developments were resumed while it was offered for export and demonstrated. One particular was its turret which has exactly the same turret ring as the M551 Sheridan/M41 Walker Bulldog and was designed as an upgrade for these models.
DesignMain characteristics and recognition points are its well-sloped glacis plate (the driver's hatch is located in the upper part), plus two slight steps to the raised engine compartment. Vertical walls and back plate, exhaust outlet in the upper part of it. The center turret has a characteristic pointed front and sides slope inwards. There is a turret basket at the rear. Two banks of height smoke grenade dischargers are located on either side of the turret for concealment. The three-men standalone turret is electro-hydraulically powered came with a manual backup. There are duplicate turret controls for the commander and gunner, and day/night sights. The gunner's two-axis stabilized day/night thermal imaging system is provided by Hughes Electronics. Protection is only ensured about armor-piercing, 14.5mm HMG fire. However additional applique armor is also proposed.
Stingray in field speed trials
ArmamentThe low recoil force (LRF) version of the British Royal Ordnance L7 105 mm rifled gun was its main asset, sharing most of its ammunition with NATO stocks. It came with a two axis stabilization system, eight ready rounds, with 24 rounds stored in the hull. Reloading is manual. There is a coaxial standard NATO 7.62 light machine gun with 2400 rounds and an anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on right side of turret roof cal.50 (12.7 mm Browning M2HB) with 1,100 rounds in store.
MobilityThe initial powerplant was a standard-issue Detroit Diesel Allison 8V-92TA 535 hp (399 kW) engine, but the serial model(for the Thai Royal Army) was a liquid cooled turbocharged 2 stroke V-8 diesel engine which developed 550 hp (410 kW). Suspension either side has six small road wheels with idler front, drive sprocket rear and three track-return rollers, no side skirts.
The Stingray in serviceThe Royal Thai Army announced the purchase of 106 Stingrays in 1987, and deliveries took place between 1988 and 1990. No more orders were placed. The Stingray also competed, heavily modified, in the AGS competition but lost to the FMC/UDLP/BAE Close Combat Vehicle Light program (AGS Stingray). Another variant called the AGS Sheridan married the hull of a Sheridan with the turret of the Stingray. It also competed in the same program but with the same outcome. Instead, the M8 AGS (Buford) largely based on the Stingray but with the main emphasis being put on protection. It was chosen for production in 1997 but ultimately the program was canceled and later replaced by the supposedly cheaper M1128 Mobile Gun System
The Stingray II (1996)Since then the model was entirely redesigned by Textron in the late 1990s as the Stingray II. This model was given an improved and modernized digital fire-control system and target-engagement system (hunter-killer, improved first hit cap. on the move, Raytheon HIRE day/thermal night sight, improved commander sight), NBC protection, GPS nav, laser warning system, exhaust smoke screen device, and superior mobility. Its main armor was improved to resist AP 23 mm autocannon rounds but it also came with an enhanced applique armor kit which can be installed in a couple of hours and provide extra protection from RPGs and shaped-charge warheads. It was also tested and proposed with a LAV-105 turret. Heavier, its top speed was reduced to 66 kph. It has met no success on the export market yet.

YO! Cali Steering Committee Sets Long-Term Horizon
More than 25 youth leaders and organizers representing YO! Cali Steering Committee organizations gathered in Oakland this past May 19 to finalize the Network's 2030 "horizon," set key goals for the 2018-2019 program year, and gather input on the 2018 Young People's Agenda. A highlight from the gathering was a site visit and peer learning exchange hosted by the RYSE Center in Richmond, CA. As one of the founding steering committee member organizations of YO! Cali, the RYSE Center is a model of transformative youth organizing.
"It's important organization have opportunity like the peer exchange to share knowledge, build collective power and connect our work. I really enjoyed the opportunity to visit RYSE and have our youth see their space. Getting the chance to actually see, experience and feel the energy in their space was inspiring! You really see how youth own the space, and get a feel for how they have built a culture of trust and respect. Having the opportunity to physically be in the space, and hear from their youth leaders and staff about how they are able to combine offering youth leadership activities, arts, and mental health services was very valuable. It was amazing to see how a community organization can exercise its power, be creative with funding resources, and manifest its vision of building resources in their community that they want and deserve!"
-Jennefer Heng, Organizer with Khmer Girls in Action
One key element of YO! Cali's horizon––or longer term goals for 2030––is to expand the current Emerging Organizers' Fellowship program statewide to engage Fellows from up to 45 organizations in three pathways––the Emerging Organizers Fellowship, a Lead Organizers and Organizing Directors Fellowship, and Youth Policy and Grassroots Governance Fellowship. Also on the 2030 horizon, the Network plans to expand to more than 60 active member organizations with regional Anchor Organizations in five to six regions across the state. Finally, over the next twelve years, the Network seeks to build power, change practices and policies, and create long-term transformation that results in concrete movement victories connected to issues from the 2018 Young People's Agenda.

This beautiful bespoke bottle was designed by M&E Design. It perfectly demonstrates how glass can be used as a vessel for ambition, style, and sophistication. The bottle was created with none of the usual visual cues of a standard whiskey bottle. Instead, it was crafted to celebrate the liquid inside and the process behind its creation. The design takes its cues from laboratory glassware found in the micro-distillery and the paneling of a whiskey cask. It has been shaped to refract and bounce light. The side panel embossing produces a Kaleidoscope of patterns within the body of the bottle, bringing Method and Madness together. The Method and Madness range includes four new Irish whiskeys. Each whiskey has its own twist; a single pot still Irish whiskey finished in French chestnut, a single grain Irish whiskey finished in virgin Spanish oak, a single malt Irish whiskey enhanced by French limousin oak and a 31-year-old single cask, single grain limited edition bottled at cask strength. "Historically, reducing emissions has simply meant financial penalties for industry – which creates conflict between government and business.

On trust, which was one of the major issues arising from his IAB address, Weed urged marketers to focus on "building trust back in". "Once trust starts getting eroded you've got all sorts of problems. Without trust, you don't get brands," he added.
His pledge not to invest in platforms that "create division in society" was not about hectoring" the social media giants, insisting he wanted to work in partnership with them.
Weed, who is cutting the number of agencies the company works with, also called for shops to "reinvent themselves" to offer integrated solutions. "Marketers are being forced into being the integrator," he commented.
Turning to GDPR, he revealed that for the first time, as a result of the advent of the legislation, he has a legal expert in his team.
Commenting on the award, Wheldon said: "Keith Weed is an inspirational marketing leader, great with his people and for the industry. He is passionate about driving the betterment of marketing and richly deserves to be voted by his peers the inaugural winner of the WFA Global Marketer of the Year."
To see Weed elaborate on these and other issues in conversation with Wheldon, watch the videos below.

10 Incredibly Significant Moments In History
Ten Great Moments in the (Recorded) History of Civilization. The ten periods of history which saw the most rapid advances in human achievement or quality of life. These are all events that have contributed to the forming of society as we know it today – even though many were from the far distant past.
The artistic Renaissance began earlier, but during this 20-year period Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Durer, and Botticelli created many of the world's most famous paintings: The Last Supper, Mona Lisa, the Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms, the Pieta, the Sistine Madonna, The Birth of Venus. The European discovery of the New World was also a rather big deal.
The rap on the Romans is they stole their culture from Greece, but it's not really true. The Romans borrowed freely from the Greeks but excelled in different fields — engineering, architecture, satire, and ethics (the Stoic tradition peaked in Rome, a little later, with the writings of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius). No other society except Greece (and perhaps England or China) ever made greater cultural contributions. At about the same time, Chinese culture reached its greatest geographic extent with the Han Empire.
Darwin's theory of natural selection and Pasteur's germ theory revolutionized biology and medicine; Lister introduced sterilization in hospitals, and Mendel (pictured above) conducted the first experiments in heritability (though not widely known until later). There were milestones in many other arenas: Maxwell described electromagnetic fields and radiation; and the first internal combustion engine, gas heater, commercial steel, plastics, and rechargeable battery were produced.
These two decades saw the invention of electric light, alternating current, the telephone, automobile, steam turbine, gas turbine, water heater, transformer, arc welding, phonograph and seismograph; development of vaccination and surgical techniques; Boltzmann's development of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics; production of radio waves; the birth of the environmental conservation movement; and artworks by Rodin, Monet, Brahms, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Eliot, Chekhov and Twain.
This 30-year period saw revolutionary change on all fronts. Galileo's telescope and Kepler's planetary theory were the birth of modern astronomy; Galileo's De motu launched classical physics; literature took big steps forward with Cervantes' Don Quixote (the earliest novel still widely read) and Montaigne's Essays (which created that genre), and a guy named Shakespeare turned out a bunch of sonnets, plus Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and the rest. Islamic architecture reached a late peak in Isfahan and Istanbul.
Important discoveries happened throughout the 17th century, but the most influential scientific advance was Newton's theory of gravity. Newton got around to publishing the Principia in 1687, but the crucial ideas came to him in the 1660s. Newton and Leibniz invented calculus about the same time. Boyle's Law, which led to the development of chemistry, was discovered in 1662; Leeuwenhoek and others began microscopic observations at the same time. It was a fertile time for art (Rembrandt, Vermeer) and literature (Racine, Moliere, Milton, Pascal) and unfortunately, bad philosophy (Hobbes, Locke).
Following James Watt's improvement of the steam engine in 1764, almost every year in the late 18th century brought a new revolution. The science of chemistry was founded by Lavoisier; Hutton introduced the principles of geology; Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations founded economics; Mozart developed the forms of classical music; Burke and Hamilton/Madison defined British-American political theory; Blackstone's Commentaries did the same for law; photosynthesis was discovered. Technical advances included electrolysis, the ship's chronometer, chemical processing, tool-making machines, and the water frame.
Chinese civilization has had several peaks but the Song Dynasty was perhaps the greatest: Zhu Xi (pictured above) established Neo-Confucianism; printing, the compass and canal locks were developed; and Chinese painting reached its apex. Meanwhile, Islamic, Indian and Southeast Asian cultures produced great achievements, from Persian poetry and math to Angkor Wat and Jain temples. Meanwhile, Europe started climbing out of the Dark Ages with the first industry and monuments such as the great medieval cathedrals and castles.
The first great dramatists (Aeschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes), the greatest sculptors in history(Phidias), and Socrates all lived in Athens in the 5th century BC. No other place in history produced more genius. The Greeks' run continued in the 4th century with Plato (one of the most influential thinkers of all time) and Aristotle (the founder of ethics, political theory, natural history and logic), and mathematicians Eudoxus and Euclid. At the other end of Eurasia, Lao-tzu, Chuang-tzu and the followers of Confucius elaborated Chinese thought; the abacus and blast furnace were invented; and the Grand Canal was begun. India produced epic literature.
Confucius, Buddha, and Mahavira (the prophet of Jainism) all lived in the 6th century, though their works were compiled later (in the case of Buddha, much later). Important books of the Old Testament were written or assembled at roughly the same time. Greek culture was climbing toward its classical peak, thanks to natural philosophers (Thales, Parmenides), early political leaders (Solon), engineers (Chersiphron), and poets (Sappho, Pindar). No century is more significant for both Western and Eastern intellectual traditions.

Kerry Washington: "My Body Is the Site of a Miracle Now"
Covering the September issue of Self Magazine, Kerry Washington opens up about her body after the birth of her first child, Isabelle Amarachi.
The Scandal actress doesn't understand society's obsession with new mothers "getting back" to their pre-pregnancy weight.
"I've been really focused on not being 'back' to anything, but being the best version of myself right now," she told. "My body is the site of a miracle now. I don't want to be pre-miracle."
In fact when her manager told her she was "back," Washington took issue with the phrase.
"She meant it as a total compliment, but we had this great conversation where I was like, 'You know what? I try really hard not to use that language, because it's not about going backward in life.'"
"I try to get it in so I can be back with my kid early," Washington says about her exercise routine. "I have to take care of myself in order to live life the way I want to. It's important to have rest days. But in the long run, if I don't work out for, like, three days, I feel worse, not better."
The actress is married to Nnamdi Asomugha. They tied the knot in 2013.

By Emily Jane Fox and Christine Romans
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Gun stores are under intense pressure from the massive outcry against assault rifles after last week's massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
Large stores are responding by either suspending sales or pulling ads of semiautomatic rifles similar to the one used by Adam Lanza last Friday at Sandy Hook elementary school that killed 20 children and six adults. Some smaller stores, though, are holding tight.
The sports retailer Dick's Sporting Goods said it has suspended the sale of certain semiautomatic rifles from its 511 stores in 44 states "out of respect for the victims and their families." Dick's also said in a statement that it has removed all guns from its store near Newtown.
The retailer did not say if this is the first time it has taken such a measure, or how long the suspension will last. A search on the retailer's website on Tuesday for "modern sporting rifles," as the retailer calls them, led to a blank page.
Wal-Mart took down a listing on its website Monday for a semiautomatic assault rifle from the same maker as the Bushmaster AR-15, that was used by Lanza. In July, James Holmes used a similar semiautomatic rifle at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, to kill 12 people and injure 58 others.
David Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman, said the Bushmaster gun was not for sale online and the web listing contained directions for the nearest store where it could be purchased. The ad was pulled because of sensitivity to the Newtown massacre, Tovar said.
Similar assault rifles, including the Bushmaster, continue to be available for sale at over 1,200 Wal-Mart stores where guns are sold.
"We have not made any changes to the assortment of guns we sell," Tovar said.
In the past year, sales of guns at Wal-Mart have skyrocketed. Executive vice president Duncan Mac Naughton told shareholders at a meeting in October that gun sales at Wal-Mart stores open for a year or more increased 76% for the year, and ammunition sales were up 30%.
While big retailers are making some changes, smaller gun stores aren't budging.
Timothy Smith, owner of Tim's Gun and Range in Winter Haven, Florida, said his store hasn't stopped selling Bushmaster guns and has no plans to.
"What happened at that school was a tragedy, but it wasn't the gun that did it," he said. "To change what we sell because of that wouldn't make sense."
An employee at Fernwood Firearms in Hankins, New York, also said the store will not make any changes.
The killing also prompted a decision by New York's Westchester County against renewing a contract to host an annual gun show in February.
"The shows in past years were popular and run in a thoroughly professional manner. But at this time…a contract renewal is not appropriate," according to a statement released by the county.
In the wake of the shooting, both Republicans and Democrats have called for tighter gun control, sending gunmakers' share prices into a tailspin on Wall Street. Shares of Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co. have tumbled over the last three trading days — 19% and 15% respectively. Firearm retailer Cabela's has also fallen 15%.
The uncertain outlook for the firearms industry may have sent a chill through investors, but the Florida store owner Smith said its led to an uptick in gun sales in the aftermath.
"When you have politicians saying we need to do something about assault rifles, people you wouldn't normally see buying a gun go out and buy one, because they're worried they won't be able to get one if they ban them," he said.

Ruff Stuff drop a huge ping on the Tune-Radar, and not for the first time this year either. Rough Disco Cuts see them get sample heavy in their usual chunky House style.
Balla is just a nice cut of rolling disco with enough novelty to make this as must have record. Recommended purchase and keep an eye on this relatively new label cutting some serious shapes into wax.

In all of the best women's ski pants, function and fashion are combined in the most optimal manner possible. Function always takes precedence as it is important to keep warm, dry and protected from the snow, rocks and possible accidents while on the slopes. Fashion is secondary especially as looking good on the slopes often means actually skiing well.
Here are the top five ski pants for women. You will notice that these are fitted to the unique feminine shape in a variety of cuts for equally unique preferences.
First, the Arcteryx Women's Alpha LT Pants are made from relatively lightweight but extremely durable fabric. As such, it delivers optimal protection against the natural elements on the slope with as minimal fuss as possible – just what a true alpinist desires in pants. It may not have the bells and whistles associated with fashionable ski pants but every pair of the Alpha LT pants have full-length side zippers that allow for fast, easy and convenient layering. Keep in mind that women's pants, like the rest of ski clothes, must be layered in at least 2 layers for basic protection while 3 layers is the standard.
Then there's the the Fera Queenie pants, which provides for a contemporary fit thanks to its low-rise construction. You can choose from two colors – black and chalk – for better pairing with your other ski clothes. You will feel comfortable zipping down the mountain or strolling through Aspen's Main Street in these comfortable but still fashionable pants with streamlined cargo pockets, V-shaped waistband and double belt loops.
The North Face Cirque pants are suitable for either floating through the powdery slopes or throwing airs in the neighborhood park. You will love its comfort fit, insulated fabrics and functional pockets. With its Heatseeker Outfit Stud Heels insulation, you will be protected from the cold while its thigh vents cant let off heat when the permits it – an excellent combination of regulating heat and cold not often seen in inferior women's pants.
You will find that the Salomon Snowtrip pants may be softshell pants but function is never sacrificed in favor of its fashionably sleek silhouette. The special fabric makes for complete waterproof capability while still providing for the benefit of breathability, which makes these ski pants one of the best in its price range. You can use these pants for a variety of snow activities like skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing, all of which the Salomon Snowtrip pants will definitely stand up to the physical demands.
Last but not least, the North Face Women's Freedom Insulated pants provide for great insulation against the cold but also provide for strategic vents to ensure that the wearer does not overheat. Your knees will be comfortably and safely encased in the articulated knee construction while the cargo pocket provides space to carry essential things with you on the slopes.
Indeed, the abovementioned women's ski pants are the best in their categories. Because you will be hard-pressed to choose which one is the most suitable for your needs, we suggest just buying them one at a time when your budget permits. It also helps to look through other choices from other brands.

Anchorage, Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska is the most populous city in the largest of the states constituting the United States of America. It's located on the coast of Cook Inlet, an area explored by Captain James Cook on his 3rd voyage of discovery commanding HMS Resolution in 1778. Archaeological research on the early history of the Anchorage area has found human occupation as early as 3000 B.C. By the time of first contact with Europeans in the 1750s, the indigenous population comprised predominantly Athabaskan Dena'ina people.
Ship Creek Landing was selected in 1914 to be the headquarters of the new Alaska Railroad to run from Seward on the coast to the interior and funded by the United States government. Funds were authorized in 1915 and the effort was coordinated by the Alaskan Engineering Commission. In the same year the US Post Office 'chose' the modern name, which was a popular local store of the day called "The Anchorage" (actually a dry-docked steamship.)
The city's newest convention center, overlooking the Chugach mountain range, is called the Dena'ina Center and is due to be completed in 2008.
Time zone
Anchorage is on Alaska Standard Time, which is one hour behind Pacific Standard Time, four hours behind Eastern Standard Time and ten behind Central European Time.

We've had the award-winning EpiFLO, then Oxygenesys, and now there's Oxyzyme, which has just been launched by Insense Ltd.
The technology:
The Oxyzyme® system provides unique capabilities in preparation of the wound bed for healing. The system, contained within a hydrogel dressing, cleans the wound, produces oxygen, which has been shown to play a vital role in healing, and releases small amounts of iodine to kill bacteria and other microbes. Oxyzyme® works like no other wound care treatment, by active production and release of multiple factors which are known to be important to wound healing.
… a two-layer hydrogel dressing that contains a unique, active biochemical system, which oxygenates the wound and delivers controlled antimicrobial power. At the same time, the wound is cleaned up through enhanced autolytic debridement, whilst moisture is controlled by means of the hydrogel's osmotic effect. Oxyzyme has been developed to the point at which the full manufacturing process has been validated, toxicology tests have been passed, and a stability of at least 2 years at ambient temperature has been proven.
The company has a couple of in vitro trials, which show the efficacy of the anti-microbial action of their product. However, they don't seem to have any studies quantifying the effects of oxygen delivery or whether any extra oxygen is delivered at all. Also of concern is the fact that hydrogen peroxide is toxic to cells, and can produce free radicals. Would a constant delivery of it impede healing? Or could it, perhaps, cause genetic damage?
Check out the company's website for more info…
