This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
On July 4, 1990, while on a morning walk in southern France, Susan Brison was attacked from behind, severely beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled to unconsciousness, and left for dead. She survived, but her world was destroyed. Her training as a philosopher could not help her make sense of things, and many of her fundamental assumptions about the nature of the self and the world it inhabits were shattered.
At once a personal narrative of recovery and a philosophical exploration of trauma, this book examines the undoing and remaking of a self in the aftermath of violence. It explores, from an interdisciplinary perspective, memory and truth, identity and self, autonomy and community. It offers imaginative access to the experience of a rape survivor as well as a reflective critique of a society in which women routinely fear and suffer sexual violence.
As Brison observes, trauma disrupts memory, severs past from present, and incapacitates the ability to envision a future. Yet the act of bearing witness, she argues, facilitates recovery by integrating the experience into the survivor's life's story. She also argues for the importance, as well as the hazards, of using first-person narratives in understanding not only trauma, but also larger philosophical questions about what we can know and how we should live.
Bravely and beautifully written, Aftermath is that rare book that is an illustration of its own arguments.

Ten years ago, a few months after I had survived a nearly fatal sexual assault and attempted murder in the south of France, I sat down at my computer to write about it for the first time and all I could come up with was a list of paradoxes. Things had stopped making sense. I thought it was quite possible that I was brain-damaged as a result of the head injuries I had sustained. Or perhaps the heightened lucidity I had experienced during the assault remained, giving me a clearer, although profoundly disorienting, picture of the world. I turned to philosophy for meaning and consolation and could find neither. Had my reasoning broken down? Or was it the breakdown of reason? I couldn't explain what had happened to me. I was attacked for no reason. I had ventured outside the human community, landed beyond the moral universe, beyond the realm of predictable events and comprehensible actions, and I didn't know how to get back.
As a philosopher, I was used to taking something apparently obvious and familiar—the nature of time, say, or the relation between words and things—and making it into something quite puzzling and strange. But now, when I was confronted with the utterly strange and paradoxical, philosophy was of no use in making me feel at home in the world.
After I was rescued and taken to the Grenoble hospital, I was told repeatedly how
lucky I was to be alive, and for a short while I even believed this myself. At the time I did not yet know how trauma not only haunts the conscious and unconscious mind, but also remains in the body, in each of the senses, ready to resurface whenever something triggers a reliving of the traumatic event. I didn't know that the worst—the unimaginably painful aftermath of violence—was yet to come.
One of the most difficult aspects of my recovery from the assault was the seeming inability of others to remember what had happened, accompanied by their habit of exhorting me, too, to forget. Although I was initially surprised by this response, once I discovered how typical it was, I became more aware of the intense psychological pressures that make it difficult for all of us to empathize with victims of trauma. The prevalent lack of empathy with trauma victims, which is reinforced by the cultural repression of memories of violence and victimization (for example, in the United States about slavery, in Germany and Poland and elsewhere about the Holocaust), results, I realized, not merely from ignorance or indifference, but also from an active fear of identifying with those whose terrifying fate forces us to acknowledge that we are not in control of our own.
Nonetheless, the trauma survivor must find empathic listeners in order to carry on. Piecing together a shattered self requires a process of remembering and working through in which speech and affect converge in a trauma narrative. In this book I explore the performative aspect of speech in testimonies of trauma: how saying something about the memory does something to it. The communicative act of bearing witness to traumatic events not only transforms traumatic memories into narratives that can then be integrated into the survivor's sense of self and view of the world, but it also reintegrates the survivor into a community, reestablishing bonds of trust and faith in others.
The challenge of finding language that is true to traumatic experience is, however, a daunting one. How can we speak about the unspeakable without attempting to render it intelligible and sayable? The paradoxes of traumatic memory may seem to defy analysis. Our ordinary concepts of time and identity cease to apply, as in the French writer Charlotte Delbo's statement,
I died in Auschwitz, but no one knows it (1995, 267). For months after my assault, I had to stop myself before saying (what seemed accurate at the time),
I was murdered in France last summer. In this book, I attempt to explain these cryptic observations, and, in so doing, I develop and defend a view of the self as fundamentally relational—capable of being undone by violence, but also of being remade in connection with others.
Since I have found that writing about trauma challenges not only accepted views of the limits of language and logic, but also current assumptions about appropriate scholarly methodology, I have employed a range of what I consider to be complementary methodologies: my own process of
working through, cultural analysis, feminist criticism, philosophical theorizing about the self, and an examination of clinical and neurological studies of trauma. The result is a record of my thinking about trauma and recovery over the past ten years. The chronology of this period, however, is fractured in the telling. Time may be linear (who knows?) but the aftermath was not. There have been many periods of progress and of decline, victories and setbacks, both major and minor. I have changed during this time and so have my views, but, rather than revise my earlier writings in light of more recent understandings, I have tried to convey the trajectory of my ideas. As Ursula Le Guin writes,
It doesn't seem right or wise to revise an old text severely, as if trying to obliterate it, hiding the evidence that one had to go there to get here. It is rather in the feminist mode to let one's changes of mind, and the processes of change, stand as evidence.²
Interwoven with a philosophical examination of violence and its aftermath is a first-person narrative of remaking a self shattered by trauma. Chapter 1, an account of philosophical issues raised by my assault and the immediate aftermath, was written during the two years after my assault. It is an examination of the way trauma shatters one's most fundamental assumptions about the world, including beliefs about our ability to control what happens to us. This chapter would be different in many ways were I to write it now—less angry, less urgent, and somewhat more detached. But I have left it in its original form (except for a few minor stylistic revisions) in order to convey my perspective soon after the event. Chapter 2 is a development and defense of the methodology used throughout the book. In it I argue for the necessity of first-person narratives in facilitating our understanding of trauma and victimization. In chapters 3 and 4 I discuss the therapeutic function of trauma narratives and, in chapter 5, I examine their role in constructing and changing cultural tropes and political norms. In chapter 6, I explore the tensions among the various functions of narrative, in particular, the tension between living to tell and telling to live, that is, between getting (and keeping) the story right in order to bear witness and being able to rewrite the story in ways that enable the survivor to go on with her life.
My assailant was apprehended, convicted of rape and attempted murder, and sentenced to ten years in prison. His sentence is finished today. It's tempting to think, as I release this book into the world, that mine is, too, although I know there will be many returns of the day, more occasions for telling and retelling the story. But right now, as I look out at the freshly mown field behind our house in Vermont, all I see and hear is new life—shoots of grass, lupines, pine trees, fireflies, crickets, frogs, small things singing. And I'm surrounded by the warmth and sweetness of friends and family and music. We may call such things reasons to live, but reason has little to do with it. They are the embodiments of our wishes and passions, the hopes and desires that draw us into the future.

Independence Day
July 2000
On July 4, 1990, at 10:30 in the morning, I went for a walk along a peaceful-looking country road in a village outside Grenoble, France. It was a gorgeous day, and I didn't envy my husband, Tom, who had to stay inside and work on a manuscript with a French colleague of his. I sang to myself as I set out, stopping to pet a goat and pick a few wild strawberries along the way. About an hour and a half later, I was lying face down in a muddy creek bed at the bottom of a dark ravine, struggling to stay alive. I had been grabbed from behind, pulled into the bushes, beaten, and sexually assaulted. Feeling absolutely helpless and entirely at my assailant's mercy, I talked to him, calling him
sir. I tried to appeal to his humanity, and, when that failed, I addressed myself to his self-interest. He called me a whore and told me to shut up.
Although I had said I'd do whatever he wanted, as the sexual assault began I instinctively fought back, which so enraged my attacker that he strangled me until I lost consciousness. When I awoke, I was being dragged by my feet down into the ravine. I had often, while dreaming, thought I was awake, but now I was awake and convinced I was having a nightmare. But it was no dream. After ordering me, in a gruff, Gestapo-like voice, to get on my hands and knees, my assailant strangled me again. I wish I could convey the horror of losing consciousness while my animal instincts desperately fought the effects of strangulation. This time I was sure I was dying. But I revived, just in time to see him lunging toward me with a rock. He smashed it into my forehead, knocking me out, and eventually, after another strangulation attempt, he left me for dead.
After my assailant left, I managed to climb out of the ravine, and was rescued by a farmer, who called the police, a doctor, and an ambulance. I was taken to emergency at the Grenoble hospital where I underwent neurological tests, x-rays, blood tests, and a gynecological exam. Leaves and twigs were taken from my hair for evidence, my fingernails were scraped, and my mouth was swabbed for samples. I had multiple head injuries, my eyes were swollen shut, and I had a fractured trachea, which made breathing difficult. I was not permitted to drink or eat anything for the first thirty hours, although Tom, who never left my side, was allowed to dab my blood-encrusted lips with a wet towel. The next day, I was transferred out of emergency and into my own room. But I could not be left alone, even for a few minutes. I was terrified my assailant would find me and finish the job. When someone later brought in the local paper with a story about my attack, I was greatly relieved that it referred to me as Mlle M. R. and didn't mention that I was an American. Even by the time I left the hospital, eleven days later, I was so concerned about my assailant tracking me down that I put only my lawyer's address on the hospital records.
Although fears for my safety may have initially explained why I wanted to remain anonymous, by that time my assailant had been apprehended, indicted for rape and attempted murder, and incarcerated without possibility of bail. Still, I didn't want people to know that I had been sexually assaulted. I don't know whether this was because I could still hardly believe it myself, because keeping this information confidential was one of the few ways I could feel in control of my life, or because, in spite of my conviction that I had done nothing wrong, I felt ashamed.
When I started telling people about the attack, I said, simply, that I was the victim of an attempted murder. People typically asked, in horror,
What was the motivation? Were you mugged? and when I replied,
No, it started as a sexual assault, most inquirers were satisfied with that as an explanation of why some man wanted to murder me. I would have thought that a murder attempt plus a sexual assault would require more, not less, of an explanation than a murder attempt by itself. (After all, there are two criminal acts to explain here.)
One reason sexual violence is taken for granted by many is because it is so very prevalent. The FBI, notorious for underestimating the frequency of sex crimes, notes that, in the United States, a rape occurs on an average of every six minutes.¹ But this figure covers only the reported cases of rape, and some researchers claim that only about 10 percent of all rapes get reported.² Every fifteen seconds, a woman is beaten.³ The everydayness of sexual violence, as evidenced by these mind-numbing statistics, leads many to think that male violence against women is natural, a given, something not in need of explanation and not amenable to change. And yet, through some extraordinary mental gymnastics, while most people take sexual violence for granted, they simultaneously manage to deny that it really exists—or, rather, that it could happen to them. We continue to think that we—and the women we love—are immune to it, provided, that is, that we don't do anything
foolish. How many of us have swallowed the potentially lethal lie that if you don't do anything wrong, if you're just careful enough, you'll be safe? How many of us have believed its damaging, victim-blaming corollary: if you are attacked, it's because you did something wrong? These are lies, and in telling my story I hope to expose them, as well as to help bridge the gap between those who have been victimized and those who have not.
Sexual violence and its aftermath raise numerous philosophical issues in a variety of areas in our discipline. The disintegration of the self experienced by victims of violence challenges our notions of personal identity over time, a

SACRAMENTO – California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Xavier Becerra, leading a 16-state coalition, today filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California challenging President Trump's declaration of a national emergency and his attempt to divert funding appropriated by Congress for other purposes. In the complaint, the coalition alleges that the Trump Administration's emergency declaration and diversion of funds is unconstitutional and otherwise unlawful. The states seek to block the Trump Administration's emergency declaration, the unauthorized construction of the border wall, and any illegal diversion of Congressionally-appropriated funds.
"President Trump is manufacturing a crisis and declaring a made-up 'national emergency' in order to seize power and undermine the Constitution," said Governor Newsom. "This 'emergency' is a national disgrace. Rather than focusing on fighting the real vulnerabilities facing Americans, the President is using the powers of America's highest office to fan the flames of nativism and xenophobia. Our message to the White House is clear: California will not be part of this political theater. We will see you in court."
"President Trump treats the rule of law with utter contempt. He knows there is no border crisis, he knows his emergency declaration is unwarranted, and he admits that he will likely lose this case in court. He is willing to manipulate the Office of the Presidency to engage in unconstitutional theatre performed to convince his audience that he is committed to his 'beautiful' border wall," said Attorney General Becerra. "Today, on Presidents Day, we take President Trump to court to block his misuse of presidential power. We're suing President Trump to stop him from unilaterally robbing taxpayer funds lawfully set aside by Congress for the people of our states. For most of us, the Office of the Presidency is not a place for theatre."
The complaint filed today alleges that the Trump Administration's action declaring a national emergency due to a purported border crisis is unlawful and unconstitutional.
The states allege that the Trump Administration's action exceeds the power of the executive office, violates the U.S. Constitution and federal statutes, and would illegally and unconstitutionally divert federal funds appropriated by Congress for other purposes. The suit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to block the emergency declaration, the construction of the wall, and any illegal diversion of congressionally-appropriated funds.
Joining Attorney General Becerra in filing the lawsuit are the attorneys general of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawai'i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Virginia.

When Andrew Came Home, released in the UK as Taming Andrew, is a 2000 American drama television film directed by Artie Mandelberg and starring Park Overall, Seth Adkins, Jason Beghe, and Evan Laszlo. It is based on a true story.
On the Fourth of July, Gail is forced by the courts to hand over her five-year-old son, Andrew, to his father Ted for the weekend. Ted arrives with his young girlfriend, Pattie, and seems jealous over the relationship Gail's boyfriend, Eddie, has with Andrew. Despite her maternal instinct, Gail gives her son to her ex-husband, who promises to return him on time as he always does.
When Andrew is late returning, Gail tells police that her ex-husband kidnapped her child. The police fail to file a report. Meanwhile, Ted is driving a sleeping Andrew away from his mother's house. In the morning, they are stopped by the police for speeding right before they cross the state border. Since no report is filed, Ted and his girlfriend are not stopped from kidnapping Andrew.
Five years later Gail has married Eddie, and they have an infant son together named EJ. Gail has kept Andrew's room exactly the way he left it with a few presents for all the birthdays and Christmases he missed. One day while tending to the baby, she gets a call from Ted telling her to meet him at a phone booth and to not call the cops. After being given the runaround by Ted, Gail yells at her ex-husband and asks him if Andrew is coming home. He tells her that Andrew will travel to the bus station.
Despite losing all hope of finding her son and thinking that Ted lied to her, Gail still goes to the bus station. After a bus arrives and Andrew does not show, Gail is about to leave when another bus arrives and Andrew gets off. He is dirty and has no luggage. Gail runs to greet her son, but gets no response from him. She places her son in the back seat of her SUV and sits beside him, but Andrew prefers to sit on the floor curled up. Gail buckles Andrew in, and the three go home.
Gail and Eddie show Andrew his room. Andrew pushes the presents off the bed and begins to jump it. He makes grunting noises of delight, but still has not said a word. His grandmother walks to the room with EJ and Andrew grunts and holds out his arms, wanting to hold the baby. His grandmother places the baby on the bed and Andrew cuddles with his half-brother.
At dinner, Andrew starts to show more of the effects that his father had on him. While his mother is saying grace, Andrew starts eating the spaghetti with his hands. Gail brushes this off, saying that Andrew must be hungry. Later that night, Andrew is unresponsive when she sings their nightly song. He turns away from Gail when she tries to kiss him and screams when she turns out the lights. After Gail turns on a nightlight and leaves the room, Andrew goes into a fetal position and goes to the corner of his room.
Gail takes Andrew to both a doctor and a psychiatrist and they learn that Andrew has eyesight problems. The psychiatrist later tells Gail that Andrew cannot read or do math, but is very bright. They want to send Andrew to a special residential school to help him catch up in his academics. Gail refuses to part with her son once again, so Andrew goes public school so he can socialize with the other children.
While at school, a bully named Carl Rudnick makes fun of Andrew because he only stands on the side during recess and does not talk to the other children. During a game of baseball, when another child hits the ball in Andrew's direction, he just stands there and lets the ball fall to the ground and roll away. This makes Carl furious and he yells at Andrew, who responds by urinating on Carl. The principal calls both Gail and Carl's mother. Mrs. Rudnick calls Andrew a freak and says that he should not be in public school, even yelling at Andrew after he apologizes. After Carl and his mother leave, Gail has a discussion with the principal. He wants to hold Andrew back, but she refuses and takes him out of the school.
Andrew also acts strangely at home. While driving one day, Andrew screams after seeing a car that resembles his father's car and still does not talk to his mother, not trusting her. On his tenth birthday, Andrew sticks his face into his birthday cake for no reason at all, and later he speaks for the first time, telling his mother that he doesn't know why he did it and that he thinks his mother is trying to trick him. One night before dinner, he's playing with a glass of milk and it accidentally falls off the table, almost injuring EJ on the floor. Andrew's behavior angers Eddie and he begins to fear for his own son. After Andrew accidentally sets the house on fire, Eddie takes the baby and they go to live with his mother for a few months.
Gail begins to teach Andrew at home. Slowly but surely, Andrew makes progress, and things seem to get better for the family, with Eddie and EJ even moving back into the house. However, a woman with Social Services tells Gail that this is not good enough and if Andrew isn't on grade level by the time the summer ends, then she will be forced to send him to the special school. In order to help Andrew, Gail takes him to her brother's farm so he can learn in a new atmosphere where he has no history.
Andrew shows how intelligent he is by being able to learn how to milk a cow and how to care for the animals very quickly, but is unable to subtract 2 from 7. Gail cries to her brother saying that she loves Andrew and thanks God every day for his safe return, but misses her old son, adding that if she had a choice to pick her son, it wouldn't have been Andrew.
Having overheard this conversation, Andrew runs out of the house. Gail runs after him and eventually finds him in the stables. She says she didn't mean what she said, but Andrew doesn't believe her. His father told him that she did not want him anymore and that she didn't love him. Gail explains that that isn't true, that she looked for him every day and missed him every minute during the five years he was gone. She told him she loves him and he will always be her son. After crying, Andrew falls asleep in the stables and Gail watches over her son.
He wakes up startled and in fear when Gail tries to place a blanket over him for warmth. She tells him he doesn't have to be afraid, and then Andrew finally opens up and tells his mother about his experiences with his father. They never stayed long at any place and he was not allowed outside during the day. The last place they stayed the longest was a rundown trailer. He was usually locked in a room all day by himself, watching TV. Both adults were abusive; Pattie would hit him, and Ted would lock him in a dark closet. At night, they put him outside, tied to a long leash, where he would sleep in the trees in the dark with the frightening sounds of the nocturnal animals surrounding him. Andrew was not allowed to go to school or socialize with other children his age, or anyone other than Ted and Pattie for that matter. He told his mother how he would think about her and home, but then get angry that she didn't love or want him. Then he explains that now he knows she did love him and want him. He then tells his mother that he is home, and the two cry in each other's arms and sing their bedtime song together.
In the end, it is revealed that Gail and Andrew returned home to Eddie and EJ to build a healthier life together and that Ted was tried for kidnapping and abusing Andrew, found guilty, and was imprisoned.

Insurance for basement and cellar conversions
If you are unable to expand your house upwards or outwards, you can only go downwards! Whether you are a householder or a contractor, Versatile Insurance can arrange appropriate insurance for you.
For the householder, the first thing you need to do is to contact your existing home insurer to advise them on your plans and advise what when works will start. Typically, your existing insurance will have restrictions imposed upon it, they may require additional premium or even cancel your cover if they feel they no longer wish to insure you. Furthermore, it is very unlikely that they will cover the new works, materials, tools or plant (including hired in plant). At Versatile Insurance we can cover all of this with a range of market leading insurers offering policies for renovation and conversion projects.
Also, you may need your house insurance (and/or the works insurance) to be in joint names with the contractor. We can arrange this, although the premium is higher. If there is a possibility that the works could damage a neighbouring property (the classic example is a party wall), then we would also recommend non-negligence public liability (JCT 21.2.1) insurance.
For the contractor, your first port of call will be your public liability insurer to enquire if they will cover you for this type of work. Obviously, at Versatile Insurance we have no difficulties placing this type of insurance for basement and cellar conversion contractors. Furthermore, you will require contractors all risks insurance to cover the works in progress, materials, tools, plant, temporary buildings (such as site huts), employee effects, your own plant and hired in plant.
Furthermore, when you receive instructions from the architect, you may have some insurance requirements that you may not be familiar with. Example are JCT clauses 5.4, 6.5.1 or 21.2.1. Rest assured that Versatile Insurance are experts in the many types of JCT insurance and can help you with all of this.

Look up grade discounts if you are a student. Many insurance companies offer rate reductions for students who do well in school, so find out if yours does.

If you are shopping online for insurance quotes this list may come in handy when deciding which insurance policy to purchase.
If you have more than one vehicle, inquire with your insurance carrier whether they offer a multiple car discount. In most cases insuring two cars can be the same price as insuring one. If you have more than once car ask your agent whether they offer this discount. Also if you are browsing for insurance quotes online make sure to find out whether you can receive the multiple car discount before making any purchase decisions. Sometimes it is also wise to keep a second vehicle on just liability insurance because it will still lower your rates. Folks are often surprised after they call their agent to take off one car off their policy only to find out that their rates are not cheaper but may even go up.
Anti Theft Devices
Many new cars come with anti-theft devices and alarms. Older models may not have this and it is costly to install. It is recommended to have an anti-theft device on your vehicle because it can affect your discount on car insurance and lower your premiums.
comprehensive storage coverage

group discount
Many insurance companies offer discounts on their policies if you are affiliated with an organization or a club. These can range from having certain credit cards, being a part of a credit union, or even a college sorority. Contact an agent to ask them if they have a list of organizations that they are affiliated with.
comprehensive, liability, collision, and medical
Lowering any of your basic coverage options may also lower your insurance payments. You can look into lowering the collision and comprehensive coverage by increasing the deductible payments on your insurance. You can also lower your medical and liability if you are having difficulties making insurance payments. Lowering the liability and medical coverage is not recommended and should be a last resort.
Defensive Driving Classes
Many insurance carriers will give you a discount if you attend and complete a defensive driving course. You can check you state's DMV website for information on where you can take a class. Also make sure to contact the insurance company you are receiving a quote from to determine whether you would qualify for the defensive driving course discount.
check your milage
When the insurance agents asks you how many miles you drive a day, be prepared to give an accurate reading. This is an important question that will designate you into a particular tier. Each tier has a difference in price so it is beneficial to be accurate in your estimate of your daily mileage to avoid over-paying for car insurance.
If you are trying to find out how to save money on your auto insurance quote, then you probably know that there are a lot of auto insurance discounts out there just waiting to be found. The question is, since every insurance company is different, how do you know what discounts you qualify for, and how to get them? The easy answer to that one is to simply do some homework and ask around, but do you really have time to call every insurance company and get these questions answered? No, which is why we do all of the homework for you. If you are looking to save money on auto insurance, then find out here some valuable tips on how to get discount auto insurance.
In most cases, insurance companies will want you to qualify for discounts that they offer. While every insurance company is going to be different, and their discounts may vary, the nature of the insurance business is relative across the board. So when it comes to auto insurance, insurance companies make money off of drivers who don't cost them a lot of money. When insurance companies run across drivers that present a risk to them that suggests this customer may cost them more than the average person, then you start to see adjustments in premiums, as that cost will get transferred back to you. So when you are looking for discount auto insurance, the key here is to present yourself and your vehicle as a low risk to insurance companies, as this decreased risk is reflected in decreased premiums as well.
Good driving record discounts are available to some drivers, as insurance companies will reward you for staying safe on the road and minimizing their risk. In addition, if your car has a low mileage, insurance companies like that because the less time your car is on the road, the lower the risk of accident. A lot of companies today are also offering discounts if you purchase your home and auto insurance together in one place. As well, if you have never had to make a claim with an insurance company, you may be rewarded with a discount for this as well.
At the end of the day, anything you can do to present yourself to the insurance company as a low risk will help you save money on insurance. Installing anti-theft devices on your car, taking driver's education courses, keeping a good driving record, and driving a safe car are all ways to do this. When you compare auto insurance quotes and see what kinds of policies different insurance companies offer, you can see for yourself what discounts you qualify for, and how easy it is to save on auto insurance.

Is the high street set to become a thing of the past?
Share This Article:
It's convenient, quick and provides us with infinate variety. Will the high street ever be able to fight back?
With almost 6000 store closures last year alone, the future of the UK high street is becoming an increasing concern.
Although Ebay and Amazon quickly became the be all and end all of everything you could think possible - books, swimwear, phone chargers, and who could forget, Alexa - it's the fashion e-commerce that has been seen to take the most dramatic leap in recent years.
ASOS as a key example, have proven to be incredibly successful in lessening the gap between physical and online retail experiences - incorportating features such as 360 videos and use a 'try before you buy' payment option to create an online shopping experience that is as close to the real-deal as it can possibly be.
The list of fast fashion online guru's is vast and growing; Missguided, Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo, Oh Polly, Nasty Gal, In The Style… the list goes on and on, while traditional fashion retailers are falling behind.
According to the 2018 Hitwise Fashion Report, online brands are seeing a huge jump with Chinese company Shein seeing an insane 744% year on year growth with visits to the site and Oh Polly also hugely in front with their 446% visit growth. Meanwhile, high street staples, Urban Outfitters have seen a 1% growth and Zara a 3% decline.
Though the speed of retailers to adapt to trends quickly and produce cheap fashion has a lot to do with these changes, the practical factors also have a lot to answer for. In particular, the weather issues of this year caused days of closure for some high street stores due to safety.
The practicality of online shopping seems dangrously attractive in the face of hectic modern lifestyles. And then there's the discounts.
Missguided's rare but infamous 50% off everything caused their site and app to crash quickly, and throughout events like the World Cup or Love Island, countless retailers would send notifications through their app to celebrate goals or re-couplings with 20/25% off. Outdoing the typical student discounts by far.
Is it any wonder the high street is facing a supposed 'retailer apocalypse'?

Layout tools
You can use tools like contrast and spacing to help differentiate elements.
Other techniques are useful for visually associating similar elements.
These techniques are often used in combination – when you group a collection of links, for example, you also differentiate the group from the elements around it.
Techniques for creating associations
Associating elements implies a relationship of similarity, e.g. A, B, C are a group of equivalent 'peer' elements.
Groups can be created using any combination of the following mechanisms:
- Grouping – creating association through placing similar elements together
- Containment – making one or more elements literally part of another element
- Alignment – aligning elements along visible or invisible lines
- Rhythm – creates relationships through repeating stylistic features

- (1) Migrating Medium to GraphQL (2) Thunder, Samsara GraphQL IoT Data Platform
This is a joint meetup with SF GraphQL. Please register there => https://www.meetup.com/graphql-by-the-bay/events/261050384/ ----- Join us at Samsara for two great talks about GraphQL in production, spanning both hardware and software stacks! (1) 2 Fast 2 Furious: Migrating Medium's Architecture Without Slowing Down We're shifting gears to leverage new technologies created since we built Medium 5 years ago, but we need to incrementally gain benefits from the new system along the way and we can't afford to let it hinder feature development. By taking advantage of GraphQL's flexibility and our existing infrastructure, we're able to make widespread yet gradual architectural changes! Come see how Medium is changing lanes without slowing down. Anyone thinking about moving to GraphQL (or thinking about migrating an exisiting architecture in general) can benefit from this talk, but especially anyone who is building their own GraphQL server or needs practical advice on how to successfully migrate a legacy system to GraphQL without "stopping the world," getting defunded partway through, or building a system no one uses. Abstract Migrating an entire system to new tools and frameworks isn't an easy task. And doing that while not impacting feature development? That's even harder. We'll walk through how Medium is migrating off of our existing system, without hindering product development, and while also incrementally gaining the benefits of a new system along the way. We'll go over the design of our new architecture, our phased migration approach, and how the layered structure of our GraphQL server (written in Scala with Sangria) was integral to the success of both. - Goals of the migration - Design of the new system - Phased approach - Phase 1: developer experience - IDLs (protobuf) + GraphQL - Phase 2: services + gRPC - GraphQL server layers - Fetchers - Repos - Schema (derivation) - Putting it all together Sasha Solomon is a Senior Software Engineer helping build the next generation API on Twitter's GraphQL team. She was previously the Tech Lead of the Platforms team at Medium working on GraphQL as well. She has spoken at GraphQL Conf, GraphQL Asia, Scale by the Bay (2019 CFP runs May 1-31 at http://scale.bythebay.io), and other meetups on various topics related to GraphQL and infrastructure. In her spare time, she enjoys tabletop RPGs, karaoke, and most recently, building mechanical keyboards. (2) GraphQL for the Samsara Sensor Data Plaform Samsara is a sensor data platform for operations, supporting a diverse set of features - everything from tracking vehicles in a fleet to monitoring quality control on a production line. In this talk, we'll explore the origins and evolution of our GraphQL systems over the last three years and how they've helped us ship great products quickly and safely. Stephen is an infrastructure engineer at Samsara where he spends time thinking about making developer tools easy to understand, maintain, and use. He has worked on building both frontend and backend infrastructure to empower product teams and is a core contributor to Samsara's open-source GraphQL framework, Thunder.

- Scale By the Bay 2019 CFP Open until May 31
Friends — the month of May is when the Scale By the Bay (SBTB) CFP always runs, for the conference in November. The CFP is now open at https://scale.bythebay.io There are three tracks, as usual: — Functional Programming — Service Architectures — Data Pipelines, including ML/AI The theme for this year is the emergence of new distributed systems and their applications, including Edge, IoT, DLT, and AI on the Edge. Helena Edelson lead a team at Apple enabling ML/AI with Spark, Joe Beda started Google Compute Engine and Kubernetes, and Heather Miller lead Scala Center at EPFL and now advances distributed and edge systems at CMU. We have two talk lengths, 20 minutes and 40 minutes. There are 5-10 minute breaks between some, but not all, talk slots, and excellent coffee is served all day long so every break is a coffee break. Please check each time length you can work with. We often ask 40 min talks to shrink to 20 min as we try to accommodate all the best talks — and our acceptabnce rate is going down to 1:3 with years. We also serve hot breakfast and great lunch and amazing happy hours follow the main program in between all days. The hallway track is legendary, facilitated by the high ratio of speakers — 100+ out of the 600 attendees. We are committed to community above all and are working with underrepresented groups to send speakers. Please share this CFP with your diversity advocates, community managers, and encourage female engineers, African-American developers, and others to submit talks. If you could send such speakers on behalf of your company, it will help the community a lot. We're also proactively reaching out to meetups, our core constituents, to help our established diversity program. We also work with companies like Stripe on diversity scholarships — let us know if you'd like to partner on this. Submit your talks at https://scale.bythebay.io by May 31!

- Integrating React with Scala at Domino Data Lab
Do you hate JavaScript? Have you ever had a runtime error in your frontend? Is your UI written in Scala but you can't hire any frontend developers to work on it or backend developers that want to? Come hear about how Domino Data Lab faced these exact problems. Through trial and error we developed a way to inject React code into Scala Play, which maintains typesafety and takes advantage of JavaScript libraries to make frontend building faster. About the speaker: Niole Nelson builds Domino Data Lab's frontend. She likes to focus on making it harder to introduce runtime bugs and speed up development. While she isn't doing that, she is usually weight lifting or rock climbing. Her newest hobby is watching league of legends streamers, though she doesn't actually play the game.
