It looks like the 2'nd step of the quest isn't showing from the sheriff.
2nd part is available from 0600 to 1100, It's the 3rd part @ the Old Outpost that is bugged, 3rd part was also bugged on Beta but has since been fixed so I would presume a fix on regular worlds is coming shortly.
THe 2'nd part didn't show for me at 1058
The quest was available for a brief period in January, so if you completed it back then you'll have to wait a couple more days before the cooldown between quests ends and you can do it again.
I was told in a support ticket that the 3rd part was bugged and could expect a fix at the next update...
Yup... that is what happened to me, remembered later... i got second step this morning!!
Now waiting for 3rd step fix also...
BTW... will there be extent time for completing this repeatable questline since there are: 21 hrs of jobbing, 1 sleep and fortbattle completed from 3rd step till end...?
Bug for 3rd step is set for 10th of july and questline ends at 14th july 23:59? So at least a week more extra time?!
You should have plenty of time to complete the quest. Only the first quest has a time requirement, which will be extended, the others just have to be complete within 21 days from each other.
So... this means... bug on step 3 will be / should be fixed on 10th of July ...from that date we have 21 day to finish whole questline?!
YES or NO?
Does that also mean that time frame for repeatable is different than doing it first time? Ans is it like that for other repeatable questlines?
If so.. can we be informed about it in advance or as it starts....
As it usually works Lucky......do the first step. Whenever yet another quest gets fixed, you should be golden. ♥
Ive done first two parts went to old outpost right now and no quest for me?
Everything should work now, if you're still having issues please contact support so we can help you out.
Is there a bug with last step that should give 1 SP into Animal instinct?
I hear some didn't get that last step from sheriff in saloon....
It's likely they completed it at some point in January and will have to wait a few more days before they can access it again.
Would be nice to see a timer for this kind of quests.
Then we wouldn't have to check every day

Posted by Benjamin on October 24, 2014, 5:33 am, in reply to "Strict Curl"
When I hit my best curl, I ended my program with 90 percent of my max for 3 sets of 3. This was 2 weeks out from the meet with one last light workout before. For 6 weeks I was doing 5 sets of 5, then the next 6 weeks 3 sets of 3 (after warmups). Every rep was treated like a meet lift, no swinging and completely strict. In fact, first few weeks, my back was against wall so I wouldn't feel the need to lean back and break my knees.

Inability to innovate?
Re: "Now, it pays to look poorer," July 25 news story; and "Attack of the 1-percenters," July 25 David Sirota column.
After reading the front-page headline about Americans attempting to look poor in order to refinance and then turning to David Sirota's column, the irony literally gave me a stomachache.
Until recently, my family was in the top 3 percent of wage earners in the U.S. We drive cars that are more than 10 years old, live in a rented duplex, and do not own a flat-screen TV. Oh, and we are in the group that pays close to 60 percent of this nation's taxes. Yet, even though my business created 26 jobs, provided health insurance and footed the bill for the litany of entitlements this country hands out, I am still villainized.
I watch in utter disgust as our government systematically infantilizes the masses, attempting (quite successfully) to convince them of their oppressed status and their inability to innovate, produce and thrive without the nurturing stroke of big government. But think for a second what the policy might be if we all rose up and said no to this patronizing. Think for a second how you would feel if you built a business and contributed more than your share to this country only to be treated like a pariah.

The City of Calgary has released the spring edition of their semiannual forecast of selected economic indicators for Calgary and region for the period 2012-2017.
Below are some real estate highlights, but be sure to read over the entire 32 page report here, which covers labour, inflation, GDP, Alberta's & Canada's economy & more.
Real Estate Highlights
- Calgary Census Metropolitan Area's apartment vacancy rate in 2011 was estimated at 1.8%, down from 5.4% in 2009
- Housing starts are expected to total 8,400 units in 2012 and 9,200 units in 2014. In the early stage of the forecast, housing starts should increase in response to low vacancy rates, higher employment levels and improved housing affordability. Later in the forecast, housing starts should grow in line with the rate of household formation.
- Total building permit values were estimated at $4.5 billion in 2011, up from $2.9 billion in 2010
- The weakness in house prices over the 2008-2011 period is partly explained by the labour market recession in 2009 and 2010, where the region experienced reduced employment levels and labour incomes.
- House prices in Calgary relatively more affordable when compared to some metropolitan areas in Canada. Consequently, relatively affordable housing prices should attract would-be migrants to the Calgary area.
- The inventory of re-sale housing has trended downwards since 2009. In February 2009, the inventory coverage for re-sale homes was estimated at 7.2 months and as of December 2011, it was 5.4 months

My relationship with Taylor Swift and her music is long and conflicted. When she first came on my radar in 2008 (I missed the country era), I despised her because I felt like her single, "You Belong With Me," sounded suspiciously like an earlier hit by Columbus-based band, Saving Jane, called "Girl Next Door." I hated the singles from 2010's Fearless. I will concede that, when Red came out in 2012, you could find me bopping my head along to "We Are Never, Ever, Ever Getting Back Together" along with the rest of America. I even liked "I Knew You Were Trouble," and this goat version of that song makes me laugh tears of mirth to this day.
But when 1989 came out, she won me over, and the transition was…swift. (Sorry!) Give me a breakup album full of bangers and I am HERE FOR IT—it was, and therefore I was. 1989 forced everyone from Pitchfork to NPR to take her seriously, and she deserved it. Throughout it, Swift seemed self-aware and smart and fun. She took self-deprecating jabs at herself in videos like the one for "Blank Space," which depicted her as the maneater the media made her out to be. And it worked! "Shake It Off" was an instant hit. "Bad Blood" had #girlsquad cameos from every famous person who was anyone. Even B-sides that got cut, like "New Romantics," were stellar.
From 1989's release on, T-Swift was on top of the world – she became known for her Insta-worthy parties with guest lists made up of her "squad" full of other famous white women, posing in red, white, and blue at the beach for the Fourth of July. Despite this lacquered aesthetic of female empowerment, her silence during the 2016 Presidential Election was deafening. Unlike rival Katy Perry, Taylor Swift didn't say shit, save a last-minute Election Day post on Instagram, encouraging her followers to vote. I get it—Trump fans listen to Top 40, too; they shop at Target, too; and they buy special release versions of pop albums, too. But if Eminem can pick a side and alienate a huge portion of his fan base, one of the greatest, most successful pop artists of our time can take the hit. And for someone who readily co-opted feminism when it suited her, she wasted a huge opportunity.
Still, her political silence was not the only egregious thing Taylor did in the summer of 2016. After years of weird tension with Kanye West, their "feud" bubbled after the release of Kanye's The Life of Pablo. For the final (??) installment of the Kanye-Taylor story, America wondered for weeks whether or not Taylor really gave Kanye "permission" over his controversial lyrics to his song, "Famous." She said nah; Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian, said yah. Kim *also* claimed to have the receipts—and damn, did she!
Kim threw major Twitter shade in essentially calling T-Swift a snake, but soon after, she did us one better and outed her as such on Snapchat. In the videos Kim shared there, it sure sounded like Taylor had in fact verbally signed off on Kanye's lyrics—just like Kim had said, despite Taylor's denials in the press. And the second the proof came out, everyone turned on Taylor Swift, who'd been caught in a lie in a massively public, embarrassing way.
And with that, a woman who seemed like she might die from lack of exposure without constant media attention (#Hiddleswift)…disappeared. For a year.
And like, part of me kind of gets it. If I'd been caught in a lie about something stupid on the scale at which she did, I'd have probably ducked out for a while, too. But I like to think that I'd have spent that time doing some real soul searching, self-examination, therapy, WHATEVER, to dig into just how bad I messed up.
I'm not gonna lie, I got real excited back in August when I saw the weird, static-y snake footage Taylor started posting on social media after wiping her accounts clean. I thought, yessss! She is gonna really lean into the villain role. No more playing the victim.
Hahaha, nope!
Instead, Taylor is still—STILL!—so self-righteously indignant that a story got out of her control that she can't even own up to her own shitty behavior. It's kind of wild to see such a lack of understanding on her part. If she thought keeping out of the spotlight for so long would endear her to us once again, she was wrong. Literally the only thing she could have done was admit she messed up and apologize (and, you know, give us at least a handful of killer singles).
But the album's first single, "Look What You Made Me Do," is just another re-telling of Taylor's version of events from a year and a half ago: She was framed, she swears! Kim and Kanye are the real bad guys!
But in the Year of Our Lord 2017, we've all got bigger shit to worry about. No one cares about the Kim and Kanye feud anymore, least of all Kim and Kanye. The fact that she thinks people still give a shit about this proves that she has been asleep to the horrors of the last 15 months. The "new" Taylor Swift is just as tone deaf as the old.
(Related side note: Reputation is coming out on the 10th anniversary of Kanye's mom's death, which is *probably* a super unfortunate coincidence, but ooof, someone at her label can't check for shit like that?)
Four boring singles later, I have lost all hope that Reputation is Taylor's apology/redemption tour. And as Vulture points out, it's one thing to put out a single or two before an album's launch—but four? That's almost a third of the 15-track album. I'm sure if this album flops, she can cry into her millions/on the shoulder of her hot model British boyfriend, whom I assume "Gorgeous" is about (unless it's about Karlie Kloss—in which case, I'm into it).
Look—part of me will maybe always have a soft spot in my heart for the woman who wrote "Out of the Woods" and "Clean." But right now, she's being fucking ridiculous.

Guide to Bringing the Studio Experience Home with Acoustics
Audio companies that range from the acoustical treatment manufacturer Primacoustic to speaker companies like Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) all offer technical support to aid dealers design room spaces conducive to proper listening applications.
Robert Archer · August 27, 2015
For as long as music fans have had the ability to spin vinyl, flip cassettes, or now select digital streams, one thing has always separated the experience Dave Grohl hears when playing "Something From Nothing" in his Studio 606 and the one homeowners get when they fire up "Sonic Highways" on their systems. That one thing may seem small, but in the grand scheme of audio playback it is the most important consideration for any system: acoustics.
Professionals take great care in every aspect of music creation. Historically, consumers have not been as thorough with their audio systems and the playback of their favorite recordings. Exacerbating the situation, the consumer audio industry's high end category often emphasizes exotic cables, speaker designs and amplification concepts in lieu of any consideration of room design.
Acoustic experts say for reasonable sums of money, consumers can get the same listening experience as Grohl, Butch Vig, Alan Parsons, Jack Joseph Puig, Tony Maserati and Bob Ludwig with a little bit of thought and planning.
Identifying Home Audio Issues
First let's address the obvious—not every home space can be transformed into a pristine audio environment. Things such as design concerns and preexisting room layouts with furniture could hamper top-tier acoustical designs.
Traditionally, putting interior design concerns aside, James Wright, business development for Primacoustic, points out that in a studio environment sound is dissected and listeners need complete control of what they are hearing. In home settings consumers need to take the same steps as the pros to recreate that experience he goes on to say.
"To accurately record and mix a project the audio engineer needs to hear precisely what is being reproduced by the speakers," he states. "Likewise, to enjoy a recording as intended by the engineer, producer and artist, a similar level of accuracy is required. Room anomalies such as reverberation, slap echo and standing waves cloud the impression of the audio program. Acoustic treatment—specifically absorption and diffusion have been used for many years to achieve an accurate listening environment in studios."
Unfortunately for homeowners, Wright says there are many challenges for music and home theater listeners to overcome to achieve a "pure sonic pathway." Some of these issues he lists include overall room design and size, and surface materials within the room that reflect sound. Acting hastily, Wright adds that sometimes equalization (EQ) will be used to address sound issues within a room, but this solution often creates a new set of problems.
"EQ is used to compensate for problems with the loudspeaker and audio system, but it is not able to address concerns related to echo, reverberations or standing waves," emphasizes Wright. "EQ can 'personalize' the listening experience by boosting or cutting frequencies, but it is not able to defeat anomalies created by room structure and reflective surfaces. Only absorption and diffusion can help with these issues."
Dealer Training Helps Dealers Solve Audio Problems
Acoustics and audio are complex topics that can be intimidating to even the most seasoned dealer. For years, Gerry Lemay, director, Home Acoustics Alliance (HAA), has trained dealers and consumer audiophiles on how to diagnose, design and install acoustical solutions in home settings. Over the years the curriculum has evolved as technology has advanced. Today Lemay says the training is mostly an interactive experience for students.
"HAA is a unique training experience from two perspectives," he says. "Our training is primarily hands-on or, better put, ears-on. 75 percent of the training involves hands-on work and each technical change to the design is reviewed not only by measurement, but by listening, particularly during our Level II training. I think it's fair to say that few A/V pros will have an opportunity to step-by-step hear what incremental changes in the design or calibration of the system sound like. This creates a new perspective on the design and selling of home sound systems [the training works well for two-channel as well].
"Students are empowered to teach their clients about the actual effect of various design mistakes. This also gives them a new mandate to explain that the brunt of the job for creating high performance sound depends on the home theater designer and calibrator. In other words, you might be able to buy the equipment through the Internet but you can't buy their expertise anywhere but from them.
"The second unique element to HAA is the experience itself. The classes are intentionally kept small with no more than six students in a theater for the Level II [training]. The problem solving aspect puts the onus on the team to develop solutions based upon their Level I training. Mistakes are good things that we learn from. In many cases, team members retain communication with each other and often connect with other HAA calibrators."
Reinforcing Wright's earlier comments, Lemay emphasizes the proliferation of automatic room EQ tools are falsely providing a sense of improved audio performance. Lemay explains these solutions can be used in conjunction with proven acoustical methods to deliver a quality listening experience, but as stand alone solutions they are not up to the task.
"I think the biggest challenge toward promoting the reliance of the performance on the home theater contractor has been the explosion of automated calibration tools," he notes. "HAA does not discourage the use of automated systems. We note that they can be highly useful, but understand, you can't truly calibrate a poorly designed system. The design, proper function, and final tuning of the system are best done by experienced hands and ears, with the automation as a tool not a total solution."
Additional Support Available
Lemay says students that participate in the HAA's Level I and Level II programs will have the ability to calibrate systems. He adds that as much as these programs provide a solid foundation of understanding, there is also no substitute for real-world experience.
"The best way to understand how to use this knowledge is the school of hard knocks," he admits. "Therefore, the best prerequisite for HAA is to have installed, tuned and listened to a theater beforehand. The students that do best are those that have agonized about acoustical problems and having recognized the system isn't performing correctly despite using automated tools."
Picking up with industry training leaves off, Wright says that companies like Primacoustic support dealers in every conceivable situation where they need help. He points out that his company provides technical support and design assistance in all areas of acoustics, and it has years of experience designing projects that range from large arenas and gymnasiums, to boardrooms and recording studios, to residential home theater and home studio spaces.
Wright emphasizes a key thing for dealers to remember when specifying designs for residential clients, that positive results can be achieved without a major financial investment by the client. He says that for well less than the cost of an exotic audiophile transmitter that transforms air molecules or stands that lift speaker cables off the floor, which are products that bring no verifiable results, dealers can offer clients a documentable solution.
"An investment of $800 will get you well on your way in a home application," he notes.
Don't Forget Commercial
With the lines between residential and the pro A/V market continuing to blur, Wright reminds dealers not to look past the impact of acoustics in commercial environments such as bars, restaurants and boardrooms.
He says that in these types of environments, just like in a home or studio application, acoustically treating a space will make the installed technology perform to its full capabilities. Wright recommends that dealers can validate their services to clients in many cases for just offering suggestions to solve common acoustical problems.
"Putting a name to the issue and showing the customer how affordable and effective it is to fix the problem is a great place to start," he advises. "In many cases acoustical designs can breath new life into pieces [of equipment] that seem antiquated. When compared to the expense of new equipment, as well as the pain of an end user learning to manage new technology, acoustic treatment is extremely cost effective and has zero failure rate."
Regardless of whether the space is a living room, dedicated home theater, boardroom or locations such as Blackbird Studios and Sunset Sound, having a good listening environment can do nothing but make the client happy.
"Installing acoustic panels is no more difficult than putting ceiling speakers in a room. The first time is new, but after a couple of installations you get the hang of it and the process becomes second nature," emphasizes Wright. "Most think of concert halls and recording studios when think of acoustics, but the fact is that communication and enjoyment in any space can benefit from improving the acoustical performance."

Why won't you hold my hand Hilarious video of student pranking random strangers becomes internet sensation
23:19 GMT, 14 June 2012
A college student who uploads 'caught on camera' style prank videos to YouTube has unveiled his latest, called Holding Hands With Strangers, which has turned into internet sensation overnight.
The concept of 22-year-old Andrew Hales' mission is simple; he walks up to a stranger on campus at Utah Valley University in Orem, nonchalantly holds a random person's hand, and films their hilarious reactions.
The successful video, which was uploaded to his YouTube channel, Losing All Hope Was Freedom, on Monday, has amassed nearly 1.3million views in just three days.

I want to hold you hand: Andrew Hales, 22, walks up to a stranger on campus at Utah Valley University in Orem, holds the random person's hand, and films their hilarious reactions
The entertaining automatic responses from the victims of the prank range from awkward laughter, to discomfort, and even revolt.
A few people however, continued to hold Mr Hales' hand, with one girl looking at up him, coyly saying, 'Hey'.
However this isn't the first time Mr Hales has secretly filmed strangers while pranking them.
The student created his own channel, shortened to LAHWF, named after a line from the 1999 film Fight Club, and has a dozen videos featuring people reacting in awkward, set-up, situations.
His web series includes self-explanatory
videos like 'Holding The Door Open For People That Are Far Away,'
'Almost Picking Up Older Women' and 'Staring At People.'
Awkward reactions: The entertaining automatic responses from the victims of the prank range from laughter, to discomfort, and even revolt
His success comes from taking small,
every day human nuances and turning them into ironic situations that
many, if not all, viewers can relate to.
Mr Hales told ABC News: 'There's always a few people that are uncomfortable with it and we always ask them afterwards if they want to be in the video.
'We just come up with [the videos], like what would be funny to do and interesting to film and just what would be awkward in public, you know,' he added.
So far, LAHWF has made 12 videos, shot and edited by a professional video editor, releasing one every Monday.
been great,' the communications student said. 'I've supplemented my
income with the [YouTube] ads… I'm making a little bit of money from
that and that's helped to pay the bills. It's cool.'
Amusing: Mr Hales success comes from taking small,
every day human nuances and turning them into ironic situations that
many, if not all, viewers can relate to
Similar to the format of Britain's Trigger Happy TV, a popular hidden-camera reality television series.
The show's star Dom Joly would deliberately enter into ludicrous or embarrassing situations with members of the public, which were filmed surreptitiously by a cameraman.
Mr Hales attributes his success to several factors: LAHWF is consistent, releasing videos once a week, they use a professional video editor, and also listen to their subscribers' comments.
'Next Monday we might just do a sequel, like "Staring at People 2," because that was pretty successful,' he said.

Wilhelm Röpke's Political Economy
Samuel Gregg
Chapter 4: Toward a New Economic Liberalism
Samuel Gregg
The whole edifice of the Reich will collapse, and much more completely than in 1918, since the whole framework of the national economy, of the monetary and financial system, of communications and administration, which in 1918 had largely remained intact, will now fall into hopeless ruin. Again in contrast with 1918, there will this time no longer be any organized political life, no parties and programmes, no group ready and able to take over the bankrupt estate of the Third Reich, but only prostration and immense longing for peace . . . Wilhelm Röpke, 1945 Memorandum to Allied Diplomats (cited in Röpke [1945b] 1946, p. 186) On 7 May 1945, Colonel-General Alfred Jodl, Chief of the Wehrmacht's Operations Staff, signed the instruments for Germany's unconditional surrender. Once dominant over continental Europe, National Socialism was extinguished. Marxism–Leninism, however, was poised to achieve a stranglehold over much of Europe. While many Western Europeans were prepared to resist the political collectivism imposed on most Soviet-occupied nations, opposition to extensive economic planning was weaker. Despite the considerable anti-socialist sentiment in Europe and North America revealed by the publication of Hayek's Road to Serfdom in 1944, nothing better symbolized the low regard in which capitalism was held than the Labour party's sweeping victory in Britain's 1945 general election. With its explicit commitment to nationalizing the British economy's 'commanding heights' and creating a cradle-to-grave welfare state, the Labour government's efforts to implement key provisions of the 1942 Beveridge report suggested that comprehensive economic planning was the...

Heart Rhythm Treatment (Maze)
This procedure treats atrial fibrillation, abnormal heart rhythms that occur as a result of erratic impulses in the heart's top chambers. The Maze procedure is aptly named for the maze of scars created on the heart muscle by the surgeon. These scars redirect the heart's electrical impulses, removing erratic impulses and restoring normal pumping functions to the heart.

Last year I heard another local wedding photographer, Binita Patel, speaking about putting in practice hours when it comes to our photography. Something really connected with me in that statement; the idea of continually trying to improve my craft through hours of practice and experimentation. I decided that if I felt that way, then there must be others out there who also wanted an opportunity to practice and experiment. So a few months ago I made an announcement in one of the photography forums I belong to seeing if there was interest to put together something. I was completely overwhelmed with the response of other photographers who not only wanted to participate but who connected us with vendors, models and props! Yesterday everything came together for an afternoon of fun! The beautiful venue of Elm Bank graciously allowed us to use their facilities to host the event and it went off perfectly! 20 or so photographers gathered together to have fun and enjoy what we are passionate about: photography! I can't wait to share more from this shoot with you later this week but for now enjoy this sneak peek!

At present the acceleration of particles is accomplished in three steps. Electrons are accelerated up to 50 MeV in the Race Track Microtron, gain energy up to 500 MeV in the 1 Hz cycling booster synchrotron. Then particles are accumulated and ramp energy in the main ANKA ring. Major upgrade of existing accelerators aims for the full energy injector LINAC similar to one designed for the MAX-IV facility in Lund (Sweeden) and low emittance storage ring inscribed into the present ANKA synchrotron geometry in order to preserve existing beam lines. The main objective of ring upgrade is to reduce the emittance of electron beam in 10 times to less than 8 nm?rad while ensure acceptable dynamic aperture and large momentum acceptance. Comprehensive studies and computer simulations have been done in order to find and optimize new lattice structure based on split bending magnets geometry and non-interleaved location of sextupoles separated by "–I" unit transfer matrix. We achieved compensation of second order aberrations and increased momentum acceptance in few times with respect to present design.

Ethel Hedgeman Lyle
Ethel Hedgeman Lyle
Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, original founder of Alpha Kappa Alpha
|November 28, 1950 (aged 63)
Ethel Hedgeman Lyle (born Ethel Hedgeman, February 10, 1887 - November 28, 1950) was a Founder of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (ΑΚΑ) at Howard University in 1908. It was the first sorority founded by African-American college women. Lyle is often referred to as the "Guiding Light" for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.
Lyle had a forty-year career as an educator and was active in public life. She was National Treasurer of the sorority for more than twenty years. Ethel Hedgeman Lyle chartered (established) and was the first president of Omega Omega, its first alumnae chapter in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lyle also founded the West Philadelphia chapter of the League of Women Voters and the Mothers Club in the city. In 2000, the Ethel Hedgeman Lyle Academy, a charter school in St. Louis, Missouri, was founded in her honor.
All these activities helped create social capital in the city in a time of rapid growth and population changes. Lyle demonstrated in her committed life how African-American sororities supported women "to create spheres of influence, authority and power within institutions that traditionally have allowed African Americans and women little formal authority and real power."[1]
Early life[edit]
Ethel Hedgeman was born in 1887 in St. Louis, Missouri.[2] Throughout her elementary and high school career, Hedgeman attended public schools in St. Louis. In 1904, Hedgeman graduated from Sumner High School with honors.[citation needed] She gained a scholarship to Howard University, considered the top among historically black colleges. Hedgeman demonstrated her ambition and abilities by the scholarship to Howard at a time when only one in three hundred African Americans and 5% of whites of eligible age attended any college.[3]
In 1904, Hedgeman entered Howard University. However, due to illness in her sophomore year, Hedgeman had to take a break from her studies. Throughout college, she belonged to Howard's choir, YWCA, and the Christian Endeavor, as well as participating in drama plays. She was described as lively and charming, despite her delicate health.[4]
Alpha Kappa Alpha[edit]
Throughout the fall of 1907, Hedgeman was instrumental in founding Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, America's first Greek-letter organization established by Black college women. Hedgeman was inspired by the accounts of Tremaine Robinson, a faculty member at Howard who shared her sorority experiences at Brown University.[5][6] Hedgeman was also aided in her efforts by her friend George Lyle, whom she had dated since high school. He was a charter member the Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Howard in 1907.[7] To establish a sorority, Hedgeman began recruiting interested classmates during the summer of 1907.[8] Together, the nine classmates founded Alpha Kappa Alpha on January 15, 1908.[9] Hedgeman served as vice-president of the sorority, since she was a junior, and designed the insignia for the sorority.[10] Starting in the 1920s, as national treasurer of Alpha Kappa Alpha for more than 20 years, Lyle (by then married) continued to guide the sorority and its growth.
Life after Howard[edit]
After graduating in 1909 with a Bachelor of Arts in liberal arts, Hedgeman moved to Eufaula, Oklahoma for her first job as a teacher.[4] She taught music in Sumner Normal School between 1909 and 1910. She was the first African-American female college graduate to teach in a normal school in Oklahoma and the first to earn a Teacher's Life Certificate from the Oklahoma State Department of Education.[4] In 1910, Hedgeman moved to Centralia, Illinois, where she also taught in public schools.[4]
On June 21, 1911, Ethel Hedgeman married George Lyle, whom she had dated in high school and college.[4] They moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where Ethel gave birth to George, III, her only child.[4] George Lyle also worked as a teacher, considered by both to be a critical profession for the future of African Americans.
Ethel continued her education career in Philadelphia by teaching English at the Thomas Purham School and Chester A. Arthur School.[4] She retired in 1948, after almost forty years of teaching generations of students.[9]
In addition to her work as an educator, Lyle was active in public life. She helped found civic institutions such as the West Philadelphia League of Women Voters and the Mother's Club of the city. In addition Lyle was a member of the Republican Women's Committee of Ward 40 and active in her church.[4]
As national treasurer of Alpha Kappa Alpha from 1923 to 1946, Lyle helped lead the sorority through years of rapid social change, including the Great Migration of more than a million African Americans from the South to the North, the Depression and challenges of World War II.[9] In Philadelphia, in 1926 she chartered and was the first president of Omega Omega, the first alumnae chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in Philadelphia. (Eighty years old and with 400 members in the 21st century, the Omega Omega chapter continues to provide services to women and children in the city.)[9][11]
Lyle's leadership skills were called on in 1937, when the Mayor of Philadelphia appointed her to chair the Committee of 100 Women, organized to plan the Sesquicentennial Anniversary of the Adoption of the U.S. Constitution.[4][9]
Ethel Lyle also used private activities to keep her mind sharp: doing crossword puzzles, playing bridge and reading.[12] On November 28, 1950, Ethel Hedgeman Lyle died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[12] Her currently living descendants include: Romy McClure of New Jersey and Kecia Ellison of South Carolina; two great-grandsons, Stephen Hall and Kevin Hall of California; five great-great granddaughters, Chantél Harvey-Harris and Maya McClure both of New Jersey, Scyan, Scierra, and Scheradyn Hall from California; three great-great grandsons, William Harvey of New Jersey, as well as Rayvel and Taylen Hall from California, two great-great-great granddaughters, Sanaa and Karlise Harris; and two great-great-great grandsons, Richard Pharoah Harris, as well as Luke Cage Harvey. Deceased: One Great-granddaughter Stayce Nadine Carpenter-Harvey; two granddaughters Muriel "Puff" Lyle Smith and Andrea Lyle Wilson.
The spirit of AKA hovering over us and our little deeds and acts—smoothing here, covering there, broadening younger, and making us do our best to think, to act, up to the highest in us. It is a force bigger than we are, stronger than we are, and it compels us to climb to the heights where it dwells.— Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, [13]
Lyle received many accolades for her achievements. In honor of her role as founder of AKA, in 1926 Alpha Kappa Alpha designated her Honorary Basileus, the only member with that title.[9] In 1951, the sorority established the Ethel Hedgeman Lyle Endowment Fund.[9] In 1994 Lyle's granddaughters, Andrea and Muriel, were inducted as honorary members of Alpha Kappa Alpha.[9] In 2018, Lyle's great-great granddaughter, Chantél Harris, was inducted as an honorary member of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
In Lyle's birthplace of St. Louis, members of Omicron Theta Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, set up a charter school, named Ethel Hedgeman Lyle Academy in her honor. It has expanded since 2000 to cover grades K-10 (as of 2005), serving several hundred children.[14]

Goodyear rolls out living moss tire that cleans air
Mar 07, 2018, 6:53 AM EST
(Source: http://news.goodyear.eu)
Could you imagine tires, one of the most toxic parts of the transportation system, to be green and good to air? Goodyear's new tire, called Oxygene, bucks the conventions and the perceptions, with its unique design that features integrated living moss to clean up air as you travel.
The concept tire unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show powers its on-board sensors with a trace of electricity from photosynthesis carried out by the central moss, writes Inhabitat.
Quantifying the ecological benefits of this innovation, the firm claims that 4,000 tons of carbon dioxide can be sucked out of the environment each year if every car in Paris runs on these tires, writes CNET.

I was bored today and my mind started to wander in the direction it always tends to wander when I get bored and that would be towards football. Somehow or another my chain of thoughts made me wonder how many miles the 32 NFL teams travel on average per season when they fly around the country to play football. Then I thought to myself "man, if they reorganized the divisions I bet they could save ton of money on fuel costs." And next thing you know, I'm looking up distances between different NFL cities and seeing what would be the most efficient way to arrange the divisions to minimize total travel distance for the teams to play games within their division.
Let me first start by saying that I realize this would ruin a lot of the tradition in the NFL and would be breaking up bunch of the divisions historical division rivalries and by no means am I actually proposing that the NFL does this. It's just something interesting to look at. I just wanted to see how many total miles of flying is done by the NFL for division games, and then come up with the divisions that would reduce that number the greatest amount and then compare.
Here is a map showing what I came up with:
Here is a break down of which teams are in each division:
1 – Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers
2 – Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans
3 – Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Rams, and Kansas City Chiefs
4 – Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, and Detroit Lions
5 – Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers
6 – Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Redskins, and Baltimore Ravens
7 – New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
8 – Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, New York Giants and New England Patriots
I actually put a lot of research into this, it took quite a bit of effort, and the best part is that after I had taken all the time and effort to do it, I found out that somebody by the name of John E. Mitchell had already done it all. Did I say best part? I definitely meant the worst part. On the bright side, it was a good way to make sure that I had done it all correctly. The other guy went much further into it than I did though so instead of putting up all of my research and data, I will simply link you to his site, by telling you to click here. He even has a map that's like mine. He also takes the additional step of comparing the total distances to the current NFL divisions and then he does it by keeping the conferences the same; you can check all of that out here. And even though his spreadsheet showing the distances between the different NFL teams is pretty confusing, there was somebody else out there who put one together that was even better than mine.
The current way that the NFL has the division set up has a sum of divisional distances of 31,366.82 miles, while the way I had the divisions has a sum distance of 17,371.67 miles. That is a huge difference and with the way gas prices are that could be a pretty nice way to reduce the leagues spending. Let me know what you think in a comment.

Europe Direct Information Centre
A Europe Direct Information Centre (EDIC) is your local information contact point on Europe.
There is a network of EDICs that will engage on EU topics of relevance to the public at local and regional level, promote dialogue on EU issues and cooperate with other EU or local information networks and contact points.
The Black Country Chamber of Commerce have received funding from the European Commission for a three-year contract to deliver the Black Country Europe Direct Information Centre, with a guaranteed one year of funding.
Locally, business confidence in the Brexit negotiations has been relatively low, and this lack of confidence has led to nervousness about exporting and importing, both inside and outside of Europe. In addition, businesses have also voiced concern regarding access to skilled and non-skilled workforces after 2019, with their being genuine worry from local EU nationals about their rights post-Brexit.
The Europe Direct Information Centre (EDIC) for the Black Country will help deal with this uncertainty in a positive and proactive manner.
The Centre has a special focus on three key economic areas that have been highlighted as important by local business and residents:
- International trade across EU borders during and post-Brexit negotiations;
- Rights of EU nationals during and post-Brexit negotiations;
- Rights of foreign workers in the UK during and post-Brexit negotiations.

Amazon Slots have a great offer of up to 500 FREE spins and they are another product of Jumpman Gaming, one of the more popular gaming platform providers on the web, largely on the bingo circuit, but they do also provide the best online slot games and free bonus credit to those players wanting to jump into reel spinning and feature wheels alike.
In this Amazon Slots review you can find out about the site prior to actually completing the login. Here you can see whether to sign up or not.
If anything, the free prize wheel is part of the Jumpman standard – with promo codes allowing you to activate the wheel for your chance at winning a nice cash booster or two to start off your run on a new site.
This is a relatively new site on the block, and while Jumpman Gaming may have been around for some time, it carries their hallmarks and their brilliant run of games that arguably make their platforms worth visiting. Check out other Jumpman Gaming slot sites here to see more brands similar to this one.
With a dynamic, cascading waterfall background and plenty of crazy jungle critters on hand to help introduce the site and its various games to you, it's hard not to get inspired to sign up.
We love the overall look of the site – it is, thankfully, extremely flexible and mobile-friendly – which of course also means that it is a gaming site that can be enjoyed on the go as well as at home.
With nice visuals, a great selection of games and plenty to write home about in terms of promo code deals, The promotional offers when you sign up seem to be well worth getting stuck into – but let's take a closer look at what makes this site tick – beyond the Amazon Slots bonus codes and deals.
Amazon Slots Bonus Codes August 2019
The welcome offers and promotional offers here in August 2019 prior to getting through the login – there's weekly community prizes and regular bonus codes for existing customers, of course – but new customers can enjoy a free play package on their first deposit with guaranteed free spins off the back of their 'Mega Reel' deal.
Simply deposit £10 and you will get some free spins. At the time of writing, these spins can be used on big titles such as Starburst slots and Fluffy Favourites Slots – though it is well worth keeping an eye on other codes that may arise for different games in future. Amazon Slots bonus codes will refresh occasionally to keep things interesting!
Other deals such as the 'Happy Hour' where you'll get 10 free spins just for depositing; or the 'Trophy Race' contests – where you'll rank up the leaderboard for completing certain tasks – make the site worth a closer look.
However, it is well worth bearing in mind some of the wagering terms – particularly on that opening promotion code – as it may feel a little restrictive to some players.
If you take advantage of the promo code and spin the wheel, you will need to wager back at least 65x your bonus received before you can cash out – and you will only be able to withdraw up to £500 on the back of bonus credit being used.
These terms may not be considered too competitive in line with other deals out there – though seasoned players may well find getting through their free bonus credit a breeze.
In any case, it is always worth bearing wagering terms and other conditions in mind before you throw any cash in and grab any no deposit slots sites bonus deals. You never know what may be expected of you! This is why we've written this Amazon Slots review – to give you the full lowdown.
Games and Features Available
There's a nice spread of games and features at this website, which largely helps to sell the brand and the various free bonus opportunities. Jumpman Gaming work with a wide range of different developers and they have largely partnered with NetEnt slots software here to offer a plethora of games and cash prize opportunities to new customers and old hands alike.
Enjoy popular names such as Jimi Hendrix, Gonzo's Quest online, Foxin' Wins and more – alongside perhaps lesser-known titles such as Owl Eyes, Dolphin's Island and Gamma Girl.
The site is largely titled towards slot gamers when you login, meaning that anyone looking for a more solid casino or an overall bingo experience will likely do better looking elsewhere. However, the slot games that are here are well-designed, well-positioned and lots of fun to get into – and you can easily browse and access them from your phone, PC or tablet.
We also reviewed Cop Slots so make sure to have a look at this if you're interested in finding another great online gaming brand.
The Jumpman Gaming engine is widely used across bingo sites but, in the case of sites such as this, they also provide solid navigation and variety in terms of reel gaming too. The brand is partnered largely with NetEnt here, meaning that you will receive a good balance of interesting games, big payouts and curious features. Check out Slots Monster as well for another site from the same network.
It's a site which, too, offers plenty of functionality from browser to browser and from device to device – meaning that it is extremely well-designed from both a layout and accessibility point of view. You'll find many Amazon Slots sister sites from the same software such as Fortune Fiesta.
"At Boomtown we love the game selection available at Amazon Slots, along with the great bonuses"
The software at play here also largely accounts for the variety of games on offer – there are more than a handful to get stuck into, and while there may not be any massive brands that could be found on larger sites elsewhere, there is still a good selection of titles you will recognise if you've found yourself registering and playing elsewhere a fair while.
A games catalogue can often make or break a site – meaning we highly recommend any gaming platform that puts a little bit of effort into the titles it has on display.
Payment Methods and Withdrawals
It's always worth taking a look at the various payment and withdrawal methods that are accepted at a site before getting too involved. With this brand, you can use methods as diverse as PaySafe Card, Boku, PayPal for slots and major UK cards issued by Maestro, Visa and MasterCard – and you can even pay through your phone bill should you wish.
While this is a nice cross-section of funding methods which will likely appeal to the vast majority of the mainstream audience, the lack of other e-wallets accounted for here may disappoint those who use them regularly elsewhere.
Withdrawal terms will expect you to meet wagering terms as discussed further above – and it is worth bearing in mind that it could take up to 7 business days for your cash to reach you once you have made a request – this, of course, will largely depend upon the type of payment or withdrawal method you are using.
You won't be able to withdraw here until you have £30 available in your cashpot – and you can only make two requests to withdraw in any 24-hour period. You may withdraw up to five times per week, however.
Amazon Slots Mobile
The website works brilliantly on mobile – as it is a slots catalogue that is largely designed to be enjoyed on the go. There may not be an official Amazon Slots mobile app at this time, however, the mobile site available provides plenty of flexibility and accessibility should you prefer to load up your account on your mobile or tablet.
Simply navigate straight to the main site with your Amazon Slots login and you'll be presented with a site which will morph and fit to your device and browser. View our Pay Day Slots review for another great brand to play these games on.
From here, you'll no doubt be happy to find that all of the major games have been retooled and designed to fit mobile devices comfortably – with smooth, efficient loading times and all the features and bonuses you'll come to expect on the desktop site.
This means that you'll never miss out on a promo code deal – there's never any restrictions should you choose to play on a portable device instead.
Is there a need for an official app at this time? While some sites lead with an app to show that they mean business with mobile play, it remains to be said that such a download isn't always necessary.
Jump into the mobile site, login and enjoy all of your favourite games, manage your banking and more with ease. Take advantage of the welcome bonus or similar promotions from the comfort of your own phone.
From our Amazon Slots review, you can decide if it is worth signing up to the site. As soon as you make it through the login process, you will see that this is a fun and exciting game to sign up to. Overall, we would highly recommend this website.

The insurance companies in the Netherlands do not cover the cost of an assistance dog for children. Indy, Martine's dog has had a very positive impact on her life and she decided she wanted to help other children in the same position. In order to achieve this she started an organisation to help children and young people like herself with an assistance dog. The MvRF financed the cost of one dog.

New information has emerged suggesting that the Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services (DISS) is the secret hand behind the mayhem within the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD).
Botswana Guardian has uncovered a 2016 top-secret Project Proposal by the DISS's Special Task Team whose main objective was "to neutralise Ndaba Gaolathe as 'centre-of-power' in both BMD and UDC." The proposal has only four objectives. The other objectives were to:
To neutralise Ndaba Gaolathe's political credentials.
To fragment BMD into warring factions.
To neutralise the UDC which is an existential threat to prevailing political order and the DIS
Gaolathe is the president of the Botswana Movement for Democracy (BMD)—a splinter party of the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP). BMD is a member of united opposition parties; the Umbrella for Democratic Change which was formed in 2012 and had a sniff of power during the 2014 general election when it won 17 parliamentary seats and more than 50 percent of the popular vote.
The DISS' proposal which sources say is now in full operation describes the UDC performance in 2014 as having "sent shockwaves throughout Botswana political landscape" inversely presenting a credible political threat to the political order under which the BDP has been dominant."Looking at this political threat retrospectively, BDP is likely to be deposed from power come 2019 General Election. This will have serious political implications that threaten our peace and stability," reads part of the proposal seen by this publication. The DISS as per the proposal views the UDC as a serious "existential threat" to its existence (DISS). "There is a likelihood that the UDC government will dismantle the service and possibly pursue prosecution against officers. This threat cannot be taken for granted and needs to be given due attention," reads the document.The DISS' assessment of the UDC is that the alliance of the BMD, Botswana National Front (BNF) and the Botswana Peoples Party poses a major political and existential threat both to the BDP and DISS. "The 2014 Election showed that unlike in previous elections, the alliance had sufficient financial support for their campaigns. This is a new and a serious political development that needs to be given due attention and neutralised."The proposal reveals that the DISS holds Gaolathe in high regard and thus to destroy the UDC then Gaolathe and the BMD should be targeted.
"Our assessment of the profiles of the UDC leaders is that BMD's Ndaba Gaolathe is the 'ace' of the alliance," reads the document which further notes that Gaolathe is the think-tank and strategist of the UDC and enjoys overwhelming public support and respect. Gaolathe enjoys good regional and international reputation. Having previously worked for South African and Namibian governments, Gaolathe has proven to be popular with ANC and SWAPO, the report notes. "Information reaching us is that Gaolathe is also popular with US government and is often invited to meet with US Embassy staff. Therefore, Gaolathe is the backbone of the UDC. Our assessment therefore is that, if the UDC is to be neutralised, the focus must be on Gaolathe."The DISS also states in the proposal that frustrating and ultimately deposing Gaolathe from politics is a plausible strategy to counter the political threat posed by the UDC. "Although, Gaolathe is strong as an individual, our assessment is that the BMD as a party is very weak and therefore presents a window of opportunity. As such we propose to exploit these vulnerabilities in order to intensify factions and internal strife with the BMD."
BMD wars started in 2015 after its Ghanzi elective congress. The elected National Executive Committee (NEC) got polarised to a point where there was a call for a special congress. The party is scheduled to elect a new leadership in Bobonong over the long weekend where two factions are fighting for control of the orange movement.
Interestingly both camps, the one led by expelled President Gaolathe and his deputy Wynter Mmolotsi and the other led by Chairman Nehemiah Modubule and Secretary General Gilbert Mangole, have accused each other of having the backing of DISS to dismantle the party. Even though they have failed to avail proof to that effect they have always maintained that DISS is sponsoring the other to destroy the BMD and by extension the UDC.
DISS Director General Isaac Kgosi laughed off the matter when reached for comment saying there is no proof that his organisation is involved in BMD infighting. "People should stop saying things without proof. I have always maintained that if there is proof that the DISS is doing any wrong then appropriate action would be taken. I have even told the Public Accounts Committee recently that I would not entertain claims that cannot be substantiated," said Kgosi.The proposal has a profile of Gaolathe as well as his political beliefs. "As an economist, his involvement in politics was through speech-writing assignments for Botswana's former President Mr. Festus Mogae, who he also occasionally advised, on economic and other matters of national interest. Gaolathe brings wide experience in economics, strategy, governance, and finance, modelling and general leadership.
"He has worked for an economic think tank, governments, investment bank regionally and internationally at all levels," it reads in part.

Chuck Zito: Born at the Wrong Time
Howard played a tape from Chuck Zito's show he did on SIRIUS recently, discussing how he was helping Tim Sabean train for the Battle of the Blobs.
Tim then came into the studio and reported Chuck had him applying oil and wearing a wetsuit, with a rubber suit on top of that, to help him sweat more during his workouts. Howard proceeded to play another clip from Chuck's show, this one featuring him talking about the times he "bitch slapped" a guy at Scores and ended up knocking him out as a result.
This led Howard to acknowledge he felt badly for Chuck, explaining he was so tough that, had he been born in caveman times, he would've been the most powerful man alive thanks to his strength. He then played another clip of Chuck talking about the time he had to fight 18 bikers by himself, with a listener calling in to corroborate the story. After hearing that story, Howard mentioned that, in nature, only some male apes – the strong ones – were the ones that got to have sex, and added he thought Chuck would've been that ape if he were, in fact, an ape.

Christian Family Life and the Challenges of Faithfulness
March 12, 2016
Loyola Marymount University
In October 2014, the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church convened in Vatican City to discuss the family in the context of evangelization. The Synod gathered to learn about the challenges faced by Christian families today, and to develop proposals for living the Gospel of the family.
Christian leaders and people are intimately familiar with the challenges of the contemporary family. Postmodernity has introduced diversity in family paradigms. The age of marriage and bearing and raising children has increased, as has the divorce rate. Cohabitation is no longer taboo in contemporary culture, and families face a formidable array of issues from sexual activity to the strain of the economy.
The Huffington Ecumenical institute invited everyone to join us for a day devoted to reflection on the meaning of the family from three distinct Christian perspectives. We were pleased to welcome Julie Rubio, Carrie Frost, and Sarah Wilson who talked about the family from Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Lutheran perspectives. In the afternoon, members of the LMU community reflected upon the challenges of family life from an experiential perspective. The day included prayer, fellowship, and food.
Featured Speakers:
- Dr. Carrie Frederick Frost, Saint Sophia Ukrainian Orthodox Theological Seminary
- Dr. Julie Hanlon Rubio, St. Louis University
- Dr. Sarah Hinlicky Wilson, Institute for Ecumenical Research
Session 1: Christian Perspectives on Contemporary Family Life
Speakers: Julie Hanlon Rubio, Sarah Hinlicky Wilson, Carrie Frederick Frost
Respondents: Fr. Allan Deck, SJ and Fr. Michael Courey
Session 2: The Challenge of Faithfulness: An LMU Perspective
Panelists: Jonathan Rothchild, Margaret Gower, Christian Rodriguez, Stephanie Monson
Respondents: Fr. Russ McDougall and Archbishop Benjamin of San Francisco (OCA)

When was the last time you treated yourself to a new wardrobe? If you're like many busy women, finding the time to venture out to the mall and spend half a day in dressing rooms may fall by the wayside in favor of other "adult" responsibilities! At Gwynnie Bee, we're revolutionizing the retail and apparel industries by offering women an easy-to-use, customized subscription service for fashion. No more dragging yourself out to the mall to sift through rack upon rack of mediocre styles; with our service, you can virtually shop our selection of literally thousands of styles to revamp your wardrobe.
What sets us apart from other apparel subscription services out there? Gywnnie Bee is a rental service, allowing you to swap pieces out of your wardrobe as often or as seldom as you like! Of course, if you find a piece that you absolutely fall in love with, we'll offer you a sizable discount off original retail prices. And because we're not a styling service, you get to personally hand pick all your items so you know you'll only receive what you love.
Starting a Fashion Revolution
Gywnnie Bee was launched in 2012 by CEO Christine Hunsicker, who recognized the economy's gradual shift towards a sharing culture. People were already beginning to share their homes with others via services like Airbnb, and sharing a ride via a Lyft or Uber was quickly becoming the "norm" over hailing a cab. Today, it seems as though Americans are willing to rent/share just about anything, from music and movies to vacation homes and cab rides—so long as they feel they're getting more bang for their buck. With this in mind, Hunsicker recognized the many potential benefits for women to rent their wardrobes rather than owning fashion pieces outright.
For starters, rental services like Gwynnie Bee allow women to experiment and have more fun with their wardrobes and styles than ever before. Knowing that you're not obligated to keep something if you don't love it makes it easier to branch out a bit and try new things that you otherwise may not have tried! As Hunsicker explained in a 2016 interview with CNBC, "we allow women to take more risk with their wardrobe, because they will rent and wear so many more things than they would ever buy."
Hunsicker also saw a huge gap in the apparel industry: a lack of subscription services catering to women size 10 and up; with about 75% of adult women in the United States wearing a size 10 or above (and two-thirds wearing a size 14 and above), the apparel market certainly doesn't represent this large portion of the population very well. Combine this with the fact that women leave up to 80% of the garments in their closets unworn for a year or more, and it's very clear why the concept of clothing rental is quickly taking the nation by storm.
What about the issue of cleanliness? If the thought of donning something that someone else has already worn gives you pause, you'll be pleased to know that Gwynnie Bee takes cleanliness very seriously. In fact, we have our own on-site dry cleaning plant and hold ourselves to an extremely high standard, striving to only send out garments that are cleaner than new! Specifically, each garment that leaves our office is thoroughly reviewed by three different inspectors, so you can rest assured every piece you receive is clean and sanitized. And on that same note, you don't have to worry about laundering any items before you send them back; we'll take care of it!
Ready to Join the Revolution?
Our members are at the forefront of this new way to experience clothing – join us! Whether you're looking to receive just one new item of clothing per month or a completely new wardrobe, Gwynnie Bee has a subscription option for you. Starting at just $49 a month, you can join in the retail revolution by renting new styles from more than 200 different designers today. And if you subscribe now, you can try our service free for 30 days!
