A patrol from the Auckland Mounted Rifles Regiment at the railhead near Romani, 1916. In the background are workers from the Egyptian Labour Corps, who were used by the British to help build the railway and water pipeline through the Sinai between March and December 1916.
The pace of the construction of the railway and the water pipeline determined how long it would take for General Murray's army of British, New Zealand, Australian and Indian troops to advance across the Sinai Peninsula and drive the Ottoman Turks back into Palestine. Murray expected the Turks to try and do all they could to disrupt and delay the railway's construction - it was the job of the New Zealand and Australian mounted troops to make sure that the Turks did not get close enough to it to carry out such threats.

Work Starts on Local Industrial Strategy for the Liverpool City Region
The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has started the process of developing a Local Industrial Strategy that will set the course for future economic development across the city region. The strategy will identify the key strengths, challenges, opportunities and threats in relation to the city region's productivity and future prosperity, and will plot a way forwards that delivers inclusive and sustainable innovation-led growth. Our Local Industrial Strategy will complement the government's Industrial Strategy and the four Grand Challenges it outlined on artificial Intelligence and data, ageing society, clean growth, future of mobility. Consultants SQW/Amion, are currently undertaking an initial review of the evidence base, including data, existing strategies and a targeted selection of interviews with key stakeholders. The findings from this initial research will inform strategy development and consultation through the autumn with a view to completing the strategy in Spring 2019.

Sign up for eNews updates from Ground Floor
Keeping an eye on Ben CarsonMarch 2017
Ground Floor is thrilled to share with you an exciting project we have been working on with our newest client, Public Advocates, a nonprofit law firm based in San Francisco. This morning, Public Advocates officially launched CarsonWatch, a watchdog organization that will monitor President Trump and newly appointed U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary, Ben Carson.
The appointment of Secretary Ben Carson has magnified already serious community concerns surrounding the role of this administration in the everyday lives of Americans across the country. That is why CarsonWatch is teaming up with allies nationwide, including the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, PolicyLink, and the Poverty and Race Research Action Council to monitor Secretary Carson and his congressional allies as they move policy forward that has far-reaching, tangible effects on the housing security of millions.
Join this coalition today by signing up to receive updates on how to stay involved at CarsonWatch.org, and liking the group on their Facebook page. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to being a part of this project.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Sirius Satellite Radio shares rose 6% Monday after the company said it has come up with a new technology that will expand its channel capacity by 25% and let it offer advanced services such as video.
Sirius SIRI, -0.44% said Monday that it has developed a new technology called hierarchical modulation that will allow it to expand its features without affecting the quality of its broadcasts.
The company said it is working to integrate the new technology into its chipsets. It expects to begin offering services using the improved modulation during the second half of 2006.
Sirius said in January that it would collaborate with Microsoft MSFT, +1.21% on a video service it expects to launch by the second half of 2006, with two to three channels of content designed primarily for children to watch while riding in automobiles. Monday's announcement indicates that Sirius will have the technology in place to make this possible.
Two of Sirius' main automotive partners are Ford F, +1.01% and DaimlerChrysler DCX, +0.00%. "There are approximately 4.5 million vehicles today that have backseat monitors, but it's unclear how many are Chrysler's and Ford's, so the market opportunity [for Sirius] is a bit fuzzy," said April Horace, analyst at Hoefer & Arnett.
Horace added, however, that the Sirius video offering "will have some consumer appeal," and that Chrysler and Ford may want to use it to "distinguish themselves in the SUV wars."
Sirius says the new technology will not affect "the customer experience" of existing Sirius radios.
The shares rose 34 cents to $32.34.

The CAD designer and the welder
Fred Berghoff picks up the 9000-tonne steel structure of the ship and flips it around, examining it from every angle as easily as if it were a Rubiks cube. He takes us beneath it and pushes it away, so its hull looms over us like the belly of a blue whale passing above. Then he brings us back up so we see its full 187-metre profile, before plunging us through its steel skin and into its interior. He can rove around at will, examining details from the vast engines to the captain's chair, and even the soap dishes in the cabins.
Fred is a naval architect, not a superhero with colossal strength and X-ray vision. But the software and systems which Fred uses really do have superpowers. Over a year, Fred and ten other naval architects at the FSG shipyard in Flensburg created this incredibly detailed 3D model of Honfleur to Brittany Ferries' specification. Before the first piece of steel was cut, her 100,000 bespoke components had already been designed, and the ship had been built virtually.
The tradition of shipbuilding in northern Germany stretches back to the late Middle Ages, when the region supplied the ships for the thriving maritime trade between the members of the Hanseatic League. The modern practice of building ships entirely from steel dates back around 80 years, and at first glance the FSG shipyard seems to have changed little in that time, with up to 50 welders at a time hand-building each ship.
But Fred's model proves that modern shipbuilding is now as advanced and complex as car or aircraft design. "When I started here 22 years ago, we still created a ship with pencils and a drawing board," he says. "But the computer-aided design software we use now has brought a generational change to shipbuilding."
Out by the quayside Michel Bollmann is responsible for making that virtual model real. Aged just 31 and from the nearby maritime town of Kiel, he's already a production manager responsible for teams of welders. He followed his father into shipbuilding, and feels an intense sense of pride in what the region produces. "My mission is just to build ships," he says. "I get to follow the whole process, from the first steel cut, to when the hull is launched, and finally to when we watch the finished ship disappear from view as she sails away. That makes me so proud."
He says that it's still hard, heavy work. "But technology has transformed the way we make the ships, as well as the way we design them. We're faster and more efficient. But I'd still say we hand-build them. We have some incredibly advanced automated welding machines now, for example. But they're still controlled by an experienced welder. And the majority is still done by hand.
Naval architect Fred has the greatest respect for colleagues on the quayside. "They can make a 12-metre weld by hand to an accuracy of just a millimetre or two. That's incredible. If you scale it down, that's the sort of accuracy a watchmaker works to. We're building 9,000 tonne ships to the same standards as a Swiss watch."

<Angelina> Angel clicked the heel of her stiletto against the floor as she waited for the students to file in. She smiled and nodded, her hair bobbing with her movements until she tucked a thick ringlet behind her ear and toyed with her earring – her dragonflies, of course.
<Jessica> This was not, strictly speaking, one of Jessica's classes but she had a free period and therefore some time to kill so she figured she'd just sit in the back and watch. Maybe.
<Cecilia> Cecilia wandered in and plunked down into one of the seats in the middle of the class. Sighing heavily and letting her posture go slack. Political discussions were gonna be a piece of cake compared to biochem.
<Cassie> As Cassandra walked in and spied Jessica sitting in the rear of the class, an impish smirk instantly showed up on her face, and she pranced over to the other girl at once. "Hello, Jess," she greeted her sweetly, putting her fingertips on the table next to her. "Is this one still free?"
<Alison> Why was she here again? Alison supposed it was nice to broaden your horizons but this class didn't really seem like something for her. She took her seat, glancing around to see who else was going to be in here for the day and giving a general nod as greeting to the room.
<Jessica> Jess glanced up at Cassie and nodded, "I think so... not normally in this class..."
<Angelina> "Allora, now that we're all here, at least in body – si? - we'll get started. The election season... well since Hope's announcement it's been heating up and with Osborn going on the Stoffelis show next week... well... the only candidate we haven't discussed is the one we should discuss most, I think!" Angel picked up her cup for a sip of her sickeningly sweet coffee.
<Jessica> Jess slid down in her seat a little in fear of being targeted for questions and pulled out her notebook.
<Cassie> "Neither am I," Cass replied, taking a seat next to Jessica. "Don't get me wrong, politics are obviously important, but they're also so dry and dull they almost put me to sleep most of the time." She leaned over to the other student. "To be honest, I'm only here because of Professor Salvatore."
<Jessica> "I have a free time-slot so... nothing better to do..." She gave Cass a half shrug. "It was this or distract Sebastian..."
<Cassie> "I know what I would have picked in your place," Cass replied, giving Jessica a suggestive smirk, before she looked up and raised her hand. "Uhm, Miss Salvatore, does that mean we have to watch that show for class? Because I kind of can't stand that Stoffelis guy?"
<Cecilia> Cecilia crossed her arms and moved her feet into the empty seat in front of her. She didn't need to take notes for this and there was no-one to impress really so she might as well relax and enjoy this topic. She did enjoy this subject a great deal. "You mean the candidate that made me completely forget Stark?" she laughed. "She's great. Very admirable, not likely she'll get into office," she said mournfully. "But a snowballs chance is still a chance, yeah?"
<Angelina> "Oh yes, we'll have to... if only to heckle, Bella!" Angel continued, wondering how she got an all-female class today. "It's a long shot that she'll be elected, but if Madelyne Pryor is elected, what do you think it would mean? For mutants? For America? For the world?"
<Jessica> Jess giggled quietly, "Yeah well I already did that in his first week but it's different when he's already got a class in there..." She threw Cassie a grin.
<Laura> Laura had arrived to class early, which had proved to be a feat because she'd had to pry herself away from that Mass Effect game Mayday was teaching her about. Politics weren't exactly her best subject, especially when compared to ones that had more definite answers, and her brow furrowed as she considered the questions as well as the various chatter from around the room.
<Alison> "Well...I guess it'd be some sign of trust?" Alison ventured, not overly sure what she was even talking about but going for it nevertheless. "I mean, that isn't something all of us get."
<Angelina> "She made her big announcement, but she hasn't said what her powers are, either, and the media is starting to attack that... it makes them wonder what she's hiding and that's the opposite of building trust."
<Angelina> "Much like any minority, of course Pryor and Zazel will get the support of the majority of the mutant voters because they will feel that's the candidate that will understand them best – but is that really the case? Should I vote for a black president just because I'm black? Should I vote for a woman just because I look like this, yo?" She gave a little shimmy.
<Cassie> "I think it's more the attempt that matters, no?" Cassandra tried herself at an answer. "I mean, she's running for office because it's a right thing to do and to take a stand for us, right? That alone should be worth the effort, even though she'll never win. Which would be pretty awesome, I guess."
<Jessica> "Politics shouldn't be a popularity contest..."
<Alison> "I was more meaning if she was elected it'd be like people were more moving to that but that's less to do with her and more to do with the public...and aren't they all ready?"
<Cassie> Trailing off, Cassandra began to rethink her answer and looked down, a finger on her chin. "I don't know," she then replied truthfully. "She's a mutant, yes, but I don't know anything else about her."
<Cecilia> "No matter what she can do the anti-mutant groups will find some way to tear her down," Cecilia pointed out. "It shouldn't but it is," she said to Jess. "Welcome to America, sister."
<Jessica> "Doesn't mean it's right. It should be about policy not whether the person elected is black, white, or mutant."
<Alison> "Well, usually a person's policies come from who they are, don't they? You're raised in a certain environment you're more likely to think like those people about a lot of things."
<Jessica> "I don't think it's right to just elect someone because they're a mutant... do we even know what her political standpoint is besides the headlines?"
<Angelina> "Si, it should be, but.... yeah... not everyone overcomes the circumstances of their upbringing," she gestured and got up to sit on her desk. "The redneck mutant hatin' pigs won't change."
<Cassie> Cassandra nodded. "I think Jessica is right," she added. "I mean, should I not vote for Tony Stark only because he isn't a mutant like me? Perhaps he would make for a better president than Pryor. Besides, his butt looks really cute in those suits." She bit her lip. "But I guess now we're back at popularity, right?"
<Angelina> Angel bobbed her head in agreement with Cassie about Stark, but she had a point there too. "Pryor has served in Congress as a Democrat, like Stark... so in theory a lot of the policies are the same."
<Cecilia> "She's spoken about her political leanings more than once," Cecilia said. "The media just likes to cover her genetic status more. She's a pretty solid candidate in my opinion. I like Stark, don't get me wrong, but that being said I don't think I'd like to see him as a president."
<Jessica> "But if Pryor gets elected she's going to have an uphill struggle to make any headway with her policies... whereas Stark would actually have half a chance."
<Cecilia> "With that attitude why bother trying at all?" Cecilia said. "Why don't we just resign ourselves to being second class citizens?"
<Cassie> "I don't want to be a downer, but isn't it kind of, I don't know... counterproductive to have two democratic candidates?" Cassandra asked the group and their teacher. "The way I see it, it could be a real problem that all democratic voters split up between those two, and then we're stuck with Kelly for another period."
<Jessica> "It's not an attitude, it's a fact." Jess folded her arms. "You know that's how it is. Why fool yourself?"
<Alison> "Should what all happened while Stark was Vice President be a hint about how things would go when he would be president?"
<Cecilia> "'Cause I'm not willing to just lie down and take it," Cecilia said, raising an eyebrow. "Some things...some things are more important than winning or losing. More than living or dying. Some things just have to be done. I think what Pryor's doing is one of them. Someone has to do it and I'm glad she's stepped up to the challenge."
<Jessica> "Well okay but look at it this way. You vote for her and she doesn't win and Stark doesn't win because, like Cassie said, the democrats split. Then what? We're in a worse situation than ever."
<Cecilia> Cecilia clapped her hands and pointed at Alison. "You. I like you more and more everyday."
<Jessica> "It's all admirable standing up for mutants and making a point that they can do well in politics but there's no way she'd make it into office now that she's made that her stand."
<Cecilia> "There might be more supporters than you think," Cecilia said. "My family supports my mutation and have a lot of problems with how mutants are treated as a group. A lot of minorities might sympathize with us. Not all humans hate mutants."
<Cassie> "Now, a mutant republican candidate, that would mix things up for sure," Cassandra tossed in, before she reined in her excitement and fell back against the back of her chair. "No wait, no one would vote for him, anyway, right?" Damn, politics were hard. And still dull.
<Alison> Alison looked a bit alarmed when she got a clap. Did she say something right? Holy Jesus!
<Laura> Laura opened her mouth and closed it, leaning back in her seat as she pointed out, "The general public doesn't always hate us either."
<Jessica> "They don't always like us though."
<Laura> She nodded. "Which would mean they don't really know what they want, right?"
<Angelina> "So... maybe she would have stood a better chance if she had hooked her star to Stark's and run as his vice presidential candidate?" Angel drank her coffee, watching the students. "What if Stark wins and because of his sympathies for mutants and his mutant daughter he would appoint her to a high cabinet seat? How would the public react to that?"
<Alison> "Well nobody's going to be liked 100% of the time. I mean, my grandma still hates Black people." She looked to Angelina and Cecilia conspiratorially and added in a slight whisper, somewhat ashamed. "She calls you Darkies."
<Cassie> "I think Cecilia and Laura may have a point," Cassandra remarked, nodding with a faint smile on her lips. "I mean, the audience always seemed to love me when I worked at the circus, even though they had to know I'm a mutant. Then again, maybe they also saw me more as an exotic animal to be admired."
<Jessica> "And that makes them unpredictable and gives Pryor even less of a chance to win," Jess finished her train of thought for Laura.
<Angelina> Angel just laughed at Alison's whisper, playing with her hair.
<Cecilia> "So they're neutral or ambivalent and their minds can be swayed," Cecilia said, waving a hand. "It's not hopeless, we can still get the things we deserve without extremist measures. The problem I have is asking for those things, we shouldn't ask, we should demand."
<Laura> Laura shook her head as she commented, "Or it means everyone stands a chance to win."
<Jessica> "I think her best chance is to step back, let Stark win and then do what Angel said and the public can cram it up their asses."
<Cassie> "Well, at least we can all agree that it's going to be an interesting show," Cassandra remarked and cocked her head. "Maybe even I will finally find politics interesting."
<Cecilia> "Stark wasn't crowing for mutant rights when Kelly began his campaign against us," Cecilia pointed out. "He's not some hero, he's a politician that wants to be re-elected, just like all the others. He's no saint and if it suited him more to play the other side, he would. In an instant."
<Jessica> "Except when Kelly was elected he didn't have a mutant daughter... and was probably really drunk."
<Alison> "Maybe that is what she's doing? We can only really guess about that but it's getting her out there at least. I don't know much about politics so my guess isn't gong to be that good." Alison admitted with a bit of a shrug. "I don't think anyone in politics can really be saintlike, though, right? It's all behind the scenes give and take pretty much."
<Angelina> "Allora, he didn't know he had a mutant daughter when he was elected."
<Cecilia> "Of course Pryor's doing the same," Cecilia said. "None of them are saints, a lot of this is picking the lesser evil." She smirked. "So he only cares when it effects him. All the more reason for me not to vote for him. Too little, too late."
<Angelina> "Mi famiglia, well, my family in Italy... they didn't know I was a mutant until I came back into my father's life. But once they did... they embraced a cause they hadn't really had a reason to think about before. It's human nature. And our nature as well."
<Jessica> "Well obviously he wasn't going to shoot himself in the foot politically, that'd be stupid. It's different now. Just like it's different for Pryor. She didn't reveal she was a mutant til it suited her. So you can't call her a saint and Stark the devil for doing the same damn thing."
<Cecilia> "I'm not gay and I didn't know anyone who was until I came here but that doesn't mean I didn't support LGBT rights," Cecilia pointed out. "You can support things that don't effect you 'cause it's the right thing to do."
<Alison> "Does it really suit her? It doesn't seem to but I guess they have to have bad reports about every candidate, don't they?"
<Cassie> "To be honest, I never thought about my place in society as a mutant, either, or cared much for what other had to say about me," Cassandra explained, her fingers fidgeting on the desk in front of her. "I was something special, and to me that has always been enough."
<Angelina> "Si... they're all politicians. Everything in life is political in fact if you look at it a certain way."
<Jessica> "Well she was going to get exposed by the press sooner or later so she did it on her terms so, yeah, it suited her."
<Cecilia> "Lesser evil," Cecilia said, smiling widely at Jess. "Lesser evil."
<Alison> "She's been in elections before so that doesn't really make sense."
<Jessica> "Yeah but this is a presidential thing... people dig." She shrugged.
<Angelina> "Would we want to speculate on the nature of her mutation? Because Alison makes a good point that she's been through this song and dance before, si? Yet she never was exposed as a mutant until now."
<Kevin> Kevin tried to sneak in as quietly as he could. Late was always bad. He ducked into the nearest chair and tried to figure out what was going on. Ah the mutant president hopefuls. Right. "Well, it really isn't any of our business, is it? What her mutation is, I mean. Obviously she can hide it or it isn't a big thing..."
<Alison> She said something good again? Alison couldn't quite keep the look of surprise off of her face. She didn't suck at this anymore!
<Angelina> Angel flicked her wings and took a sip of coffee. "Aha! So! The election does matter to the other sex! Welcome!"
<Cecilia> "I'm sure we'll find out what it is eventually," Cecilia said. "It's only a matter of time. She's made a reputation of being pro-mutant. It wouldn't make much sense to hide it away shamefully now would it?"
<Angelina> "So why did she?"
<Cassie> "Hey, Kevin!" Cassandra raised her hand to give the boy a slight wave and a wry smile. "Decided to grace your harem with your presence?"
<Alison> Well, maybe she still sucked a little at this because Alison had no clue how to answer that question.
<Cecilia> "She had it right on her I.D. I don't think she was hiding it. Kinda hard to when they ask for it at places. Likely most just didn't ask 'cause they assumed someone in that position of power couldn't possibly be a dirty mutant," Cecilia smirked.
<Jessica> Jess idly wondered if Sebastian knew and decided she'd ask him later. "It's not that hard - a lot of people here have IDs reading that they're human. You just have to know the right people... like the people in charge at the Hellfire Club."
<Angelina> "She never advertised though... she never made an announcement to come out of the mutant closet. Not until she was in the running for president."
<Kevin> Kevin sputtered. "Harem..." He looked around. Oh. It was an all-girls class and. Jess. "Oh." He looked away. "I agree - maybe it was just so a part of her that she never had to say oh hey look at me, I'm a mutant!"
<Cassie> "Perhaps she's a telepath and is afraid that everyone would accuse her of secretly controlling the brains of all the senators," Cassandra suggested, putting both index fingers on either temple and wagging her head from side to side. "Which of course would be just silly, as everyone knows senators are already brain-dead."
<Kevin> Kevin laughed. "That's funny."
<Jessica> "Well if she was that'd be a good case for hiding it. Imagine all the drama if that got out."
<Cassie> Cassandra flashed Kevin a grin in response and slightly cocked her head.
<Cecilia> "Maybe she's sick of hiding and wants to make a stand," Cecilia offered, shrugging. "Maybe she's doing it for the greater good, who knows? I think it's prudent not to announce it, I don't think saying nothing equates shame, just common sense."
<Angelina> "Oh, si, there would be nothing but drama... and if she won... imagine the implications!"
<Cecilia> Cecilia waved a hand. "A couple riots on some streets, block parties on others. No different in any controversial vote."
<Jessica> "Or paranoia against mutants would skyrocket."
<Kevin> "A couple of riots? I think the nation would have a civil war."
<Alison> "Things can go either way...but I don't think a civil war would happen. People keep saying it will every time an unpopular election happens but nobody ever does it."
<Jessica> Jess gestured at Kevin to signal her agreement with that statement.
<Cecilia> "And they're not paranoid already?" Cecilia said. "They tried to infect us all with a fatal disease. They're lucky they didn't have a civil war from that."
<Cassie> "You mean the south would finally rise again?" Cassandra asked, obviously finding the idea quite funny. "Which would be quite ironic, wouldn't it? After all, aren't most of those people down there mutants themselves?" She snickered.
<Angelina> "Si, it was a human with high ties in the government who created the Legacy virus, even if the general public doesn't know this... but would they object if they did? Or would they be happy to be rid of us?"
<Jessica> "Mutants aren't going to rise up against the rest because we know that'll make us look worse than ever... but the other way around? I sure as hell wouldn't put it past them. Especially if they thought they'd been brainwashed into voting in a mutant president."
<Alison> "...hey." Alison pouted back at Cassie a bit.
<Kevin> "I think the non-mutants would love to be rid of us, professor."
<Cecilia> "We can't know until it's done," Cecilia said, shrugging. "Speculation is pointless...personally, I'd like to think that people would trust the higher powers a lot less. Though I have little faith in humanity."
<Cassie> "Present company excepted," Cassandra quickly added, sheepishly smiling at Alison.
<Jessica> "I would have thought present company rather proved your point." Jess gave Cassie a grin.
<Alison> "Not everyone in the nation is anti-mutant. Most everyone is just middle of the ground or don't really care and we've some support. I mean, that's still not going to help Pryor win but eventually it'll help us, right?"
<Jessica> "It'll help us until someone flying the mutant flag does something retarded and pisses them off..."
<Angelina> "Speculation gives you some perspective on how to plan for the future, Cecilia," she said, slicking back her wings. "Personally, while my cynical side believes Kevin is right... likely the truth is more for apathy."
<Cecilia> Cecilia frowned. "And how many flew that flag and did what they did 'cause of the precedents set by humans? Let's face it, most mutant action is retaliatory."
<Kevin> "Which would be worse, since those who do feel strongly will act while the apathetic let them take over."
<Jessica> "It doesn't matter if it's in retaliation. We want people to believe we're better we have to lead by example."
<Angelina> "This is all good, and I do have an announcement for you," she said, standing again. "One of the reasons we are having this discussion today is to help you all get your thoughts in order because next week we will have a visit from Miss Pryor herself."
<Cecilia> "We're not better," Cecilia said. "We're people just like them. I don't want them to think I'm better, I want them to think I'm human. There's a difference. I shouldn't have to prove through my actions what my biology already states loud and clear."
<Alison> "...a visit? Like...here?"
<Cassie> "You mean she's coming to the school herself?" Cassandra asked, perking up.
<Alison> What in the hell do you wear when you're meeting a presidential candidate?
<Jessica> "Well good luck arguing that point to them."
<Cecilia> "YESSSSS!" Cecilia said, grinning widely. "It's like Christmas come early!"
<Angelina> "Si. Thanks to your new engineering professore, she will be paying us a personal, private visit." She straightened her skirt and smiled.
<Cassie> Cassandra raised her hand again. "Can I prepare a show for her?" she asked.
<Cassie> "I promise it will be nothing naughty," the raven-haired girl added.
<Angelina> Angel tapped her nail against her teeth. "If she has time for it? I will ask Xavier, si?"
<Alison> Alison glanced back at the dark-haired mutant and wondered exactly what kind of shows she did. That was going to have to be something to ask about after class.
<Cecilia> "Will there be a question and answer period?" Cecilia asked, raising her hand but not bothering to wait on being called on before speaking.
<Angelina> "I believe it will be nothing but a question and answer period. She wished to visit us, and Sebastian arranged it."
<Jessica> "To make sure we all want to vote for her, I suppose."
<Cecilia> "Can this day get any better?" Cecilia laughed, extraordinarily pleased.
<Jessica> "Undoubtedly..." Jess muttered.
<Kevin> Kevin frowned at the mention of Shaw. Great.
<Cecilia> Cecilia laughed. "It never hurts to check out the competition. Who knows? Some might change their minds."
<Cassie> "Ooh, I'll have to think of interesting questions to ask a real life politician then," Cassandra announced, more to herself than anyone else. "I'll have to do my best to make sure I don't bore her."
<Alison> "I think it'll be fun. Any kind of support is nice and instead of speculating we can just ask her what we've talked about today, right?"
<Kevin> "I wonder if she's nice in person."
<Angelina> Angel nodded at Alison. "Si, bella!"
<Jessica> "I guess we'll find out..."
<Cecilia> "I'm sure she's pretty solid, you'd have to be in her position," Cecilia said to Kevin. "Now what am I gonna ask? I might have to narrow the questions down to top ten...or five."
<Jessica> "No you wouldn't... you'd get far being a complete asshole."
<Cecilia> "Well, if you're gonna be an asshole it helps to be a charming asshole at least," Cecilia laughed, still in high spirits.
<Jessica> "Like Tony Stark?" Jess raised an eyebrow.
<Kevin> "Or Shaw," Kevin added under his breath.
<Jack> "Personally I'd love to see someone like her running everything." Jack finally said from the back.
<Cecilia> Cecilia shrugged. "Like all of 'em, I'm sure. I'm not voting for her 'cause I like her personality. It's her policies and cause I'm more concerned about. I like Stark a great deal as a person. I've hung out with him."
<Angelina> Angel was close enough to hear that and glanced at Kevin. Her snicker was soft and hidden quickly by her coffee cup.
<Jessica> Jess frowned at Kevin then gave a start of surprise, looking round. "Oh you're awake..." She'd assumed he was asleep at the desk a little way over from her and Cassie.
<Kevin> "Most people vote for the person who looks the best. And who's the tallest."
<Cassie> "What do you mean with 'hung out'?" Cassandra asked, a faint smirk on her lips as she gave Cecilia a teasing sideways look.
<Cecilia> "Well then boobs will take Pryor a long way," Cecilia snorted. "Well, maybe not with the female audience but they're just jealous."
<Alison> Alison looked down at herself for a moment. Yeah, she was a bit jealous there but she hadn't really thought about it.
<Angelina> "Boobs take us all far, si?" Angel laughed and buzzed her wings as she sat back on the desk, kicking off her stilettos.
<Jessica> "They sure do," Jess nodded to Angel's statement. "I've met Stark too... before he knew Hope was his kid. He's funny."
<Cecilia> Cecilia just raised an eyebrow at Cassandra. "I convinced him to meet a group of us at the Hellfire Club last semester. It's hardly as exciting as you're thinking." She gestured to herself and laughed. "Well, I make up for it in other ways."
<Cassie> "I owe mine most of the tips I get as a performer," Cassandra pointed out with a snicker.
<Angelina> "I have met him at the club as well," she agreed with a wistful expression and a wink. "If the tallest wins, Tony has it all wrapped up, yo."
<Jack> "What if Pryor wears heels?"
<Jessica> "I chatted with him for a while at some charity thing last year... he was dodging his security detail and flirting a lot... and drinking." She nodded sagely. "I think he might have been trying to get me drunk."
<Jack> "Okay, now that is a tempting argument to get me to vote for Stark as well." Jack added.
<Alison> Looking up from her chest and wondering where all of her boob mojo was since most everyone else seemed to have it, Alison supposed she should reenter the conversation. "Norman Osborn sort of looks like a turtle. I think it's the neck."
<Kevin> Kevin vowed to never get a class with all girls again. "So, aside from how sexy men at the Hellfire Club are, what do you think will happen if Pryor makes equalization rights for mutants happen? If she takes away registering?"
<Jessica> Jess looked over at Jack, "Which part of that made it a good idea?"
<Cecilia> Cecilia smirked widely. "Obviously wherever women and booze are Stark will be there," she said. She laughed at Alison's comment. "It's also a bit disturbing how he keeps talking about 'human mechanical enhancements' I think he's trying to make the terminator."
<Jack> "But I still want to see what a woman would do in the big chair running this country. A mutant woman at that." Jack said, then thought about what Kevin said, "Like that for example, that's a good thing."
<Alison> "...wait...can we actually make terminators? Because that sounds like a terrible idea."
<Jack> "Don't we have the terminator 3 terminator in the basement?" Jack asked.
<Jessica> "Isn't one of the staff here practically one of those anyway?" Jess frowned a little.
<Jack> "Jinx, you owe me a cuddle!"
<Cecilia> "If she took away registration I'd have her babies. I don't care if it's not biologically possible, science would find a way." Cecilia shrugged at Alison. "I hope not. Makes fighting humans all the more difficult."
<Jessica> "I'm not getting up. If you want one you have to come here." Jess poked her tongue out at Jack.
<Jack> "Actually, seeing that we're all mutants, Cee, it might be possible." Jack said as he got up to make his way to Jess.
<Cassie> "You two would make for a wonderful couple," Cassandra commented and chuckled.
<Cecilia> "I know!" Cecilia laughed. "I seem to have a thing for redheads!"
<Jessica> "I'm sure Fabian wouldn't mind either." Jess slid her arms around Jack and huggled him, throwing in some pets too.
<Cecilia> Cecilia laughed and shook her head. "I don't think so."
<Angelina> "Kevin makes a good point, and something we should ask her about. Would she try to repeal the Registration Act?"
<Jessica> "Would a repeal actually pass?"
<Cassie> "I'm not exactly sure how these things work, but could she even do that all on her own?" Cassandra asked, looking around the class. "Provided she even wants to. I don't know, but I could see her keeping it to make humans feel more secure, saying we don't have to hide and whatnot."
<Angelina> "There have been arguments since the very beginning that the law is unconstitutional, and those arguments continue to this day in legal circles though not in the courts themselves... but if she were able to bring this to the Supreme Court?"
<Angelina> "If she were able to appoint members to that Court, if she stayed in office, if she won support of the liberal members of the Court? There are a lot of ifs, but there are ways to reverse the act."
<Kevin> "That would be good. But what would that do to the ones who were already registered?"
<Jessica> "It's a political hot potato... mutants in general are. No one wants to touch it... but I guess if she got in she may as well ram it down their throats."
<Cecilia> "If she gets in I hope she changes as much shit as she can," Cecilia remarked. "That law is unconstitutional and if they brought up the truth behind the movement it might make it into a war crimes trial. One can hope."
<Jack> "What about that old thing about trying to cure mutations or... wasn't there a special in the news about screening developing fetuses for the x-gene? I mean, just think how many abortions will happen just because a parent doesn't want a mutant for a child." Jack added.
<Jessica> Jess wrinkled her nose at the talk of the 'cure', giving Jack a slight squeeze.
<Alison> Alison's nose wrinkled up at Jack's comment. "There's a word for that, too, isn't there? Like screening for certain genes and only picking the ones you like?"
<Kevin> "Eugenics."
<Jack> Jack noticed all the wrinkled noses in the room.
<Cecilia> "There's no 'cure,'" Cecilia snorted. "The only way to not be a mutant is die or go through gene knockout therapy which might kill you anyways. Trask's cure and Walt's pills are all the same thing: a crock of shit."
<Angelina> "Si, eugenics, and it's already very much in action," she sighed.
<Jessica> "Trask's cure did what it said it would.... just in a round about fashion..."
<Kevin> "A real cure would be nice, though. Maybe she'll start research for a real one."
<Cassie> "That sounds horrible," Cassandra remarked and pulled her legs up on the seat of her chair, her usually cheerful mood taking a damper.
<Angelina> Angel gave Kevin a flat look. "I still believe there has to be a way for most mutants to learn control... this is what we're here for, si?"
<Cecilia> "It suppressed mutation," Cecilia said. "It didn't remove it. That's not a cure by definition, it's treatment of a 'chronic illness.' Those cures are to make mutants ashamed to live and drug companies rich. Nothing more."
<Kevin> "What about those of us who will never have control, professor? I thought that was something Doctor Summers has to deal with too."
<Cassie> "Or Jack here," Cassandra tossed in, her mood lighting up again all of a sudden. "I don't think he'll ever be able to control his super-horniness."
<Angelina> "Scott was in an accident and this is why he can't control his eyes... he has brain damage." Angel tapped her nails on her cup, reaching up unconsciously to her earring again.
<Jessica> "It wasn't perfected... we were like a test group..." Jess have a shrug, stroking her fingers through Jack's fur as a distraction. "And I can completely understand some mutants wanting the option to have no powers..." her eyes went to Kevin briefly.
<Kevin> "Ah." Kevin squirmed in his seat. "Well what about me? Or others like me? Don't we get a say in how we want our lives to be?"
<Cecilia> Cecilia sighed. "There are other options, Kevin. Find a mutant partner that has a non-organic physiology or a power neutralizer, take suppressants during 'intimate moments'...but not Trask's 'cure.' That cure will be used for more harm than good...I'm sorry to say but the needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few."
<Angelina> "Right now, the suppressants we have - like the patch - are temporary and they have their own problems," she sighed.
<Jessica> "You can't control who you fall for." Jess pointed out to Cecilia. "And you shouldn't have to just because your biology dictates it."
<Jack> "Paraphernalia." Jack said nodding sage-like.
<Kevin> "Great. I suffer because there isn't an army of people who can kill just with a touch." He flipped the hood of his jacket up. "Well, it will be interesting to hear with Pryor has to say about it."
<Alison> Alison's brow furrowed. "I think she more meant find someone to partner up with for day to day things, not really fall in love with anyone." She frowned towards Kevin, not really sure how to take him but shrugged it off.
<Jessica> Jess bit her lip, wanting to put a hand on Kevin's shoulder or do something to offer comfort.
<Cassie> Cassandra tapped a finger against her chin, Cecilia's remark having made her think. "Doesn't that description fit Professor Kincaid," she remarked. "I mean, she's made entirely of metal, right? And not too hard on the eyes, either."
<Cecilia> "I didn't say you had to," Cecilia said, raising an eyebrow. "I said there are other options." She turned to Kevin. "I think you should hold out for an option that fixes the problem without doing away with the mutation...I'm convinced there's a way to do it, it's just not discovered yet. We know so little about mutations...there's still hope."
<Cassie> "Sure, she's a teacher here, but still... well, it's just an idea, anyway." She trailed off and shrugged her shoulders.
<Kevin> Kevin shook her off. "Don't touch me."
<Jessica> Jess sank lower in her seat and stared at her desk, sighing sadly.
<Jack> "That's definitely something we can ask her next week, if she''s in office, how much research would go into mutations, and how much of that would be done in favor of mutants, instead of finding a way of targeting mutants."
<Cecilia> "I like the sound of that," Cecilia said. "We're not a disease and it's time people stop acting like it."
<Jessica> "Who's acting like it now?" Jess glanced over at her before finding another patch of fur on Jack to pet.
<Cecilia> "I was referring to the general public," Cecilia said, sighing and rolling her eyes.
<Alison> Alison leaned back now that she had a chance and went to nudge Cassie. "So what kind of shows do you put on?"
<Cecilia> Cecilia got up. "Well, as enlightening as this was I got another class I need to be at, labs and all that. So..." She waved and sauntered out. "Sayonara, suckers."
<Jessica> "Have fun doing whatever..." Jess waved her off with her free hand and huffed a little.
<Cassie> "Oh, a bit of this and that," Cassandra replied, turning towards Alison. "There's acrobatics, dancing and gymnastics, juggling, and even some magic tricks." She was obviously thrilled to be talking about her performances. "The Uncanny Dusk knows how to astound. I used to have my own show at a circus, you know?"
<Jessica> "It was a really good show," Jess put in. "We went to see it."
<Cassie> "Thanks!" She grinned at Jessica and bowed her head. "I'm happy you liked it."
<Jessica> "There were spiders! I like anything with spiders."
<Jack> "She also offered private shows, and I loved that the most." Jack added.
<Jack> "I wonder if Pryor will have a Hug A Mutie day established." Jack wondered out loud.
<Jessica> Jess giggled, "I'll bet you did." She fluffed his tail. "That will be your favourite day of the year."
<Alison> "Oh Hon I'm so jealous now!" Alison laughed, patting Cassandra's shoulder. "Can you teach some?"
<Cassie> "They weren't real, though," Cassandra pointed out with a snicker. "No spiders were harmed during any of my shows." She gave Jack a quick sideways glance and smirked.
<Kevin> "I hope not," Kevin said, standing. "Since the class is obviously over and political things are over, I'm off."
<Alison> "Aw, you're out? I've not even got to meet you properly yet."
<Jessica> Jess looked over at Kevin, "See you around... I guess I know which class not to sit in on now...."
<Cassie> "Why yes, of course!" Cassandra beamed at the new girl. "I'd love to! At the circus we often used to practice together. That was always fun, and I really miss it sometimes."
<Kevin> "I'm Kevin and I can't touch or be touched, and you are?" He asked the blonde girl he hadn't met before.
<Alison> That seemed a strange way to introduce oneself. Alison just smiled and waved though. "I'm Alison...I'm afraid my power's not really that much exciting but it's there."
<Kevin> "Oh yeah? What's your power?"
<Jessica> Jess turned her attention to Jack, giving him a small smile before she reached to pick up her things. "I think I'll go and get something to eat..."
<Alison> Alison offered him up some sparkling light's to demonstrate. "I can make sound into light so I tend to listen to a lot of music...I've been trying not to listen to music during class, though."
<Kevin> "Very pretty. Well, it was nice meeting you, Alison." He waved and turned. "See you guys next class, or actually, when Pryor comes. It'll be fun."
<Alison> Alison frowned again, unable to see that as anything but a little bit rude. "Nice meeting you, too!" But she would be truthful in saying that. Every new person met was always a nice thing.
<Jessica> She got to her feet, pushing a hand through her hair and lifting her bag onto her shoulder. "See you guys later... Think I'll find somewhere else to kill the rest of the time..."
<Cassie> "See you, Kevin!" Cassandra waved at him, before turning back to the others and the new girl. "Now that's pretty amazing!" She smiled at Alison. "I can make it dark instead." Holding up her own hand, she gave a likewise demonstration by letting a few shadows swirl around her fingers.
<Cassie> "See you around, Jessy-poo! Cassandra gave her a wave, as well.
<Alison> "...what'll happen if I put some light into it?" Alison asked, going right ahead and trying that out for herself.
<Jessica> "Bye Cass..." she gave her a wave and gave Jack another cuddle because she didn't get to do that nearly often enough now that she lived elsewhere. "See you later everyone..."
<Cassie> Cassandra watched as the the darkness playing around her hand drifted away like black smoke in the wind, then looked up at the new girl. "Well, I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise, no?" she said, a wry smile on her lips. "As the saying goes, light banishes the dark, after all."
<Alison> "Huh, cool," Alison waved to Jess as she stepped out. "Well, hopefully that works in other kinds of cases, too, right?"
<Cassie> "Well, we should try it out," Cass suggested, already excited at the prospect of getting to play around with a human light-show. "At the very least, you should be able to read in bed while humming to yourself."
<Alison> "I am the best nitelite!" Alison declared quite happily. She then looked about a bit shiftily. "Would you like to head down to the DR and mess around with powers?"
<Cassie> Instead of answering, Cassandra's response took the form of a mischievous grin forming on her lips, before she grabbed Alison's hand and began to drag her along.

CICERO – Brian Briggs had a good idea of what he and his Holland Patent football team had just been through.
And with whom.
"I think these guys are the next state champs," said the Golden Knights head coach after Susquehanna Valley posted a dominating, 43-7 victory over his Section III champions in Saturday's New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class C Central Region final at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.
The Sabers certainly looked as if they could make good on that prediction, thoroughly outmuscling the previously undefeated Golden Knights on both sides of the ball, piling up 468 yards on the ground, and allowing very few big plays for most of the way.
Hard-running Billy Sheridan carried seven times for 91 yards and three touchdowns for the Sabers, quarterback Jarred Freije collected 94 yards on seven tries – including a 63-yard touchdown run – Ed Lavin added 113 yards and a score on seven carries, and Kyle Leonard tacked on 54 yards and score on seven trips.
Section IV champion Susquehanna Valley, 11-0 and ranked second in the state in Class C, will play third-ranked Cleveland Hill (10-1) of Section VI in a semifinal game next Saturday at Union-Endicott High School.
Holland Patent, which last week won its first Section III championship since 1989 – Briggs was a member of that team – finished 10-1.
Golden Knights quarterback Nick Herringshaw and his teammates were obviously disappointed – "We didn't do what we wanted to do," the Holland Patent senior said – but also appreciated that they had enjoyed a historic year.
"We're going to remember this season for the rest of our lives," Herringshaw said.
"I'm really proud of the kids," Briggs aid. "Especially coming from where we were last year, going 3-5."
Sheridan, Freije, and Dan Matthews were among many standouts on a Sabers defense that relentlessly harassed Herringshaw and held Holland Patent to a relatively modest 240 yards and just the one score.
"Their (defensive) line was crazy," said Herringshaw, who completed 15 of 34 passes for 137 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions while running for his life most of the time. "They executed their game plan the way they were told to all week. It was crazy trying to throw the ball."
Saber offensive linemen Connor Brown, Trevor Frable, Zach Lawrence, Pat Enright, Colton Repsher and tight end Dan Wager had their own way all afternoon. Line play, Briggs said, was the biggest difference in the game.
"They're tough; they're physical," he said. "They fired off the ball a lot better than we did. They were physical. Very physical."
Holland Patent actually held a 7-6 lead as the first quarter ended after Herringshaw scrambled and hit senior running back Jason Haas for a touchdown from 28 yards out, with Josh Ernst adding the point. It was Herringshaw's 14th touchdown pass of the season.
The Sabers, who had taken an early lead 6-0 lead on Sheridan's 1-yard run at the end of a 45-yard drive, then lined up in power sets and started pounding the ball.
Shortly afterward, early in the second quarter, Freiji faked a handoff, kept the ball, and ran through the middle 63 yards to score. The run failed, but Holland Patent couldn't move on its next possession, and another short drive ended with Sheridan's 19-yard bolt through the middle for a score. Josh Rudock added the conversion run, and it was 20-7 Susquehanna Valley with 5:46 left in the half.
The Knights again failed to move, and the Sabers used a 46-yard run by Lavin to set up Leonard's 2-yard scoring run with just 31 seconds remaining in the half. Freije threw to Matthews for two points, and Susquehanna Valley headed to the locker room with a 28-7 lead.
Susquehanna Valley got the ball to start the second half and wasted no time making things even worse for the Knights. Two big runs and a penalty put the ball at the Holland Patent 18, and Lavin stormed in from there. Sheridan went 44 yards to score late in the third quarter, and Holland Patent couldn't respond.
Haas, Holland Patent's 1,000-yard rusher, was limited to 43 yards on 14 carries. He finished with 1,354 rushing yards this season. Herringshaw led the Knights with 49 yards on nine carries.
Haas caught six passes for 48 yards, Ernst had five receptions for 40 yards and Jeff Sobel had three catches for 45 yards. Herringshaw also had a team-high eight tackles.

Ashanti Shares Her Own "Me Too" Story!
By Ryan Velez
Posted May 11th 2018
Madame Noire reports that singer Ashanti recently shared a Me Too story of her own, talking about a producer who's attitude quickly took a shift after she rebuffed his s*xual advances.
The story was shared during an appearance she made on SiriusXM's "Conversations with Maria Menounos." According to Ashanti, the producer's interest was clear, but she turned him down when he made his move. "Once I said 'no,' all of a sudden the track became $45,000," she said. "It's funny because he said something like, 'Well just take a shower with me and let me do this.'" After a discussion with her brothers, the producer apologized, and Ashanti got a bit of a happy ending for the story. "I actually got three records for free! And I got two of them mixed and mastered for free also."
This may be the beginning of the eyes of the Me Too movement shifting its gaze from the film and TV industries to the music industry. We recently covered how Cardi B pulled no punches on similar activities going on in her experience in a recent Cosmopolitan interview.
"A lot of video vixens have spoken about this and nobody gives a f***," she said, referring to harassment faced by women who star in music videos.
"When I was trying to be a vixen, people were like, 'You want to be on the cover of this magazine?' Then they pull their d**** out. I bet if one of these women stands up and talks about it, people are going to say, 'So what? You're a ho. It don't matter.'" Cardi mentions how she has serious doubts that the movement is going to catch on in the hip-hop world. While she doesn't go into why this is the case explicitly, there are some differences. #MeToo gained steam when several prominent women in Hollywood came forward, using their platforms to target abusers. By comparison, hip-hop doesn't have as many voices with as much power. Yes, there are female artists, but what about female faces behind the scenes and at the record companies?
A major reason why people get away with these actions is the fear of the abuse that could end their career. Not to mention, a lot of the faces of the #MeToo movement are white women versus the women of color that make up much of the hip-hop world. Cardi B goes as far to cast aspersions on the male supporters of #MeToo across Hollywood. "These producers and directors, they're not woke, they're scared," she said."

Marketing to Gen Z - The Rules for Reaching This Vast--and Very Different--Generation of Influencers
Jeff Fromm, Angie Read
Publisher: AMACOM
Today's teens are a force to be reckoned with. Businesses focused on Millennials ... beware! Their successors are right around the corner-promising bigger challenges, but much greater opportunities. Drawn from original quantitative research and interviews, Marketing to Gen Z paints a fascinating portrait of the newest buyers now entering the scene. Having internalized the lessons of the Great Recession, this pivotal generation blends the pragmatism and work ethic of older generations with the high ideals and digital prowess of youth. For brands, reaching this mobile-first and socially conscious cohort requires real change, not just tweaks to the Millennial plan. Marketing to Gen Z offers dozens of examples and insights for connecting and conversing, including how to: Get past the 8-second filter * Avoid blatant advertising and tap influencer marketing * Reflect their values * Understand their language and off-beat humor * Adapt content and social media strategies * Offer the shopping experiences they expect * And more By 2020, Generation Z is expected to comprise 40 percent of all consumers. The time to learn who they are and what they want is NOW.

Listen To: …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin
Listen To: …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin
Wesley MurchisonFriday,20 June 2014
The Snap:
The Roots have cut their first album since Jimmy Fallon took over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno and brought the coolest backup band in TV history with him. Released in May, …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, the group's fifth, non-collaborative album since joining Def Jam Recordings, is further proof that fame in the form of playing for funny man Fallon hasn't diminished the artists' power to create introspective, soul-searching hip-hop. But as LaVar Burton likes to say, "you don't have to take my word for it." You can get a listen by ordering the album on Google Play, iTunes or Amazon.
The Download:
For all the glamour and glory that pervades rap, the Roots continue to prove that socially conscious hip-hop is as relevant today as ever. If hip-hop is a conversation — with each musician a voice, each group a political party and each subgenre an ideology — then the Roots are one of few dissenters in an otherwise clamorous symposium of vapid pandering and violent partisanship.
The album's title comes from KRS-One's "Step Into A World (Raptures Delight)." Yet where KRS-One's rhyme was a humorous warning against losing control, the Roots pathos of sympathy bleeds the joke of all levity and remakes it into a dark comedy, however hopeful, about the trappings of a violent life.
A sullenness haunts the album from start to finish. The first track couldn't be more of a clue this album is going to be a cinematic drama even if it was taken from a movie. Oh wait, it was. "Theme from the Middle of the Night," with Nina Simone's emotive, weighty vocals, sets the mood and dims the lights. With the opening credits of an intro track over, "Never" kicks in and the unmistakable sound of the Roots is full upon on the listener.
Patty Crash's infantile, high-pitched voice sets the album's psychology: a regretful indulgence wrapped in confessional lamentations. The chorus's echo and the eerie creak of the synth embeds her singing deep into the recesses of your consciousness before Black Thought starts his brooding rap: "I was born faceless in an oasis. / Folks disappear here and leave no traces."
The sexually explicit "When the People Cheer," performed by guest member Greg Porn and mainstay Black Thought, prevents the funereal tone set by the two previous songs from engulfing the album. Aside from the two intermission-like breaks of "The Devil" and "Dies Irae," the remainder of the album continues the thread of a despair commingled with hope.
The shortness of the album, a terse 33 minutes and 24 seconds, appears to be an invitation to fans to listen straight through. That's probably why someone posted the album on YouTube as one, unending piece of music.
Take Action!

Amid mounting social criticism, fashion businesses are adopting eco-friendly initiatives to preserve their brand value. Popular brand Stella McCartney, in its 2019 Spring/Summer Collection in Paris, has created an invitation that explains its use of environmentally conscious materials in the format of comics. The brand makes its clothes from sustainable materials such as recycled nylon.
Upcoming brand Marine Serre has used the upcycled method to create a new dress out of unsold clothing and material. Designers, in the current age of clothing abundance, feel no need to use new materials. For them, it is possible to create outstanding clothing with materials already available.
On September 6, Burberry announced it would no longer engage in mass disposal of unsold products. The BBC and other media outlets had reported in July that in fiscal 2017 alone Burberry disposed of products such as clothing and perfume worth about ¥4.2 billion, bringing significant criticism.
The LVMH conglomerate, with 70 brands under its umbrella, touts reducing carbon dioxide emissions and raising the use of renewable energy. H&M will use environmentally conscious materials in all of its products by 2030.

Test run with decor by theatre piece "Marked" in the Junushoff
Whether or not to sign the statement of loyalty to the German occupiers. That is the dilemma faced by a student group of friends in 1943. They disagree and are confronted with the consequences of signing the statement or refusing to do so. Slowly, the group of friends disbands. This is the subject of the play "Marked" that will be performed in the context of WUR's centennial birthday from 6 to 9 May in the Junushoff in Wageningen.
Jeroen van de Laar, teacher engineering, visual artist and set designer, and Eva ten Velden, engineering student, were both closely involved in building the decor. They also built the decor in 2015, when the play was performed in Delft.
Puppet as the decor
"In Delft we brainstormed ideas for the decor and came up with the idea a big man, abstractly created in blocks, which slowly comes apart during the show", explains Ten Velden. At the time, the figure had to be set down on the stage but Theatre Junushoff features a stage with a professional fly system. This allows us to hang the decor." Eva describes the decor in Wageningen as a kind of puppet, a seated man with loose limbs that is controlled from the wings. Screens behind the props represent the living environment of the students. "The man's posture is symbolic of students' situation. In the first act, during the student ball, the man sits upright. With the progression of the acts the man continually collapses onto himself. In the last act, when one of the students dies, the man lies flat on the stage. We will practice with the decor in the Junushoff on 18 and 19 April and are very curious about how it will look."
This sketched model gives a representation of the decor in the first act.
Constructing and setting up the decor
The decor of "Getekend" is a collaborative project of the director Albert van Andel, Eva ten Velden, employees of the construction company Bouw Service Wageningen (BSW) which is part of the real estate and housing sector of the University Services Department, and VMBO-T students of the Pantarijn school community. The three students assembled the elements of the decor with staff of BSW in a warehouse in the Agrotechnion at De Dreijen. Berry van Brakel (BSW): "The belly of the man is a square of three by three meters and two meters deep. During the show, the actors stand in and on the square, so everything must be put together firmly to ensure safety."
The "belly of the man" under construction at de Dreijen
Test run
On 18 April, the entire decor of De Dreijen will be moved to the Junushoff for the test run with the fly system and to make the final modifications. "The transport is still quite a logistical problem", says production manager Laura Bonthuis. "Especially since the decor must be moved back to De Dreijen on 19 April. The decor is too big to leave in the Junushoff until the beginning of May. On 3 May, we will repeat the whole exercise one more time for the dress rehearsal with the actors."
Ticket sales
The Wageningen premiere of "Getekend" takes place on 6 May. Nine students and two members of WUR will perform the piece along with four well-known professional actors. The story is inspired by the book "Loyaliteit in Verdrukking" (loyalty in oppression) by the historian Onno Sinke. "Getekend" brings the history of the student resistance in wartime back to life and shows that dilemmas from 75 years ago are still topical. Thanks to the English subtitling, the performance can also be followed for English-speaking staff and students. The production will be performed four times at the Junushoff.

Liverpool Sound City launched last night with a slice of New York City soul as a touchstone of contemporary music dropped into town to kick start the party.
High electro funk and pop was dished out on hefty plastic plates as the Masque Theatre bore witness to a lesson in table manners reserved for royalty.
Mixing hi-energy electro, 80s hip-pop-soul grooves and new shit from the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Daft Punk and Justice, Afrika Bambaataa didn't just live up to his legendary billing but ripped the back out of that over-used billing.
Much like Mix Master Mike's Chibuku birthday riches, the Bronx wiz of spin sent the hits fizzing into the stratosphere early doors and as the Liverpool B-boys showed signs of flagging on the dancefloor, he delivered a James Brown/Prince/Public Enemy mash up that saw the whole place go Bam.
Meanwhile the world's of Liverpool and New York collided as Liverpool Sound City 2010 began with a cosmic boogie.
Liverpool country and rock & roll musician Mike Badger – pictured centre stage on the feather – hooked up in town with hip-hop photographer Ernie Paniccioli and the Godfather of turntabalism Afrika Bambaataa.
Genre-bender Bambaataa, from the South Bronx met for an impromptu meeting with Badger, a homegrown musician on Liverpool's Viper label, and Paniccioli, a Cee Native American from Brooklyn, ahead of the opening of the latter's photography exhibition on Renshaw Street.
Paniccioli, 63, captured the graffiti-sprayed times of downtown New York as well as shooting intimate portraits of diverse figures from the Dalai Lama, Notorious B.I.G. and Public Enemy.
Later in the evening at FACT, following on from an exclusive UK premier of the film Other Side Of Hip Hop: The Sixth Element, the US duo hosted an inspired Q&A which involved diverse topics of revolutionising the young, empowering artists, the positivity of hip hop as opposed to commercial gangster rap and the ongoing struggle with controlled media.

OggaDoon was born. The guerrilla comms business isn't the traditional set up of a heavy handed PR firm, and nor was it just focused on the new excitement buzzing around SEO and social media.
Caroline's passion for bringing creativity in an unusual way, spotting opportunities and making connections, and getting inside the mind of the client is what sets her strategic marcoms apart. Her ability to keep her mind's eye on what the marketplace wants to touch, feel, experience, and hear ensures that her creative content delivers both for our clients, and their customers.

In spring 2011, the new Mäch Tower ride will open at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It will be the tallest ride in the park, lifting 30 riders at a time 246 feet in the air. A new roller coaster will open in 2012 to replace Big Bad Wolf.
Read more from The Virginia Pilot.
Teasers will appear at:
After more than 30 years, we're updating the look and feel of the iconic Oktoberfest area. The restuaurants, games and everything in between will be new for visitors in 2011.
Does this worry anyone else? I saw the pictures of the supposedly temporary facade of the Festhaus done up earlier this year, but I'm a bit concerned the entire area may get a similar makeover, at least color-wise (I'm assuming the giant cuckoo clock will be gone). I'm hopeful it will be done tastefully, as the 'look and feel' of Busch Gardens is the last thing I would ever think of updating.
The 2012 rollercoaster seems very similar to the rollercoaster being built at Busch Gardens Tampa. I hope that I am wrong, they need somethig more unique!
How does it seem similar when the only thing we know is that it's a multiple launch coaster? (and I don't think BGT's is 'multiple' launched, is it?)
^I was under the impression, mistaken or otherwise, that the BGT coaster has 2 launches...thus far, I see no airtime hills (the issue that concerns ME most at present, LOL).
Let's say it is similar to BGT's coaster, for argument's sake. Why does a park in VA need something more unique than one in FL?
Does this worry anyone else?
I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. It was the section that felt the most "dated" (except for the little shopping lane) so there is room for improvement. For example, it seems to rely more on painted flats than more textured or architecturally interesting surfaces, etc.
Yeah, I have been giving them the benefit of the doubt since day one, and I really haven't seen anything yet from Blackstone that indicates they're heading in a undesirable direction with regards to park improvements. I think the fact that they're concentrating on just this section and not the whole park (like I had originally thought, before seeing ridem's link) gives me hope.

I'm probably getting ahead of myself in predicting, based on Oktoberfest, that other, unnecessary updates might be coming to other sections down the road.
Vater said:

If two parks in Texas 11 miles apart can have the Same Exact coaster, I'd say no one is going to notice if BGT and BGW get similiar coasters.
The phrase "more unique" sets my inner English teacher on edge, LOL. If the two are different, fine. If they're the same, fine too. Just so BGW doesn't get the BETTER version again... ;)
:) - Just to be clear that my ;) above was genuine....
More unique? But, count me in as one who doesn't care if there are similar rides at parks in different states. Not sure I would want the same coaster experience at IOA that I could get at Universal Studios Florida...but otherwise I'm fine.
But, I will search high and low for the uniquest coaster. :-)
Oh great... a year of speculation of what the new coaster will be.... and when it is announced and it doesn't match everyone's perconceived ideas, it will be declared a dud even before it is built.
Heck, I think they've declared it a dud already, if reactions to the one at BGT is any indication, and this one is similar ;).

I had a thought that this could be a comeback by S&S Rides in the Thrust Air Coaster Market. Seems possible

Clint already mentioned Great White/Goliath in San Antonio today, but this one *is* even better - Flight of the Hippogriff/Flying Unicorn and Woody Woodpecker... :)
Dumbo, Aladdin and the Astro Orbiter all in the same park. ;)
Aladdin tilts. Totally different experience. ;)
Primeval Whirl. I win ;).
Aren't those mirror images of each other? That makes their experiences 180 degrees apart from each other. Can't be more different than that.

Bart Narter
Bart noticed early symptoms such as tremor in his hand and decreased arm swing. When he rode in a cycling race in September 2011, his left arm shook uncontrollably to the point he could no longer ride and had to quit the race. This began a two month quest to find out what was going on. Bart visited a physical therapist to examine his gait, an orthopedic surgeon to see why his arm didn't swing and finally a neurologist who instantly diagnosed him with Parkinson's on December 6, 2011.
For Bart, living well means being physically, mentally and emotionally engaged with his friends inside and outside of the Parkinson's community. In 2014, Bart rode on his bike from Lisbon, Portugal to Zurich, Switzerland. Bart has also participated in numerous research studies and routinely meets with the newly diagnosed and care partner community in Northern California.

Kevin de Bruyne's spectacular 67th-minute winner against his former club, a rising left-foot drive from outside the area, gave Pep Guardiola's side a victory.
Fabregas told Chelsea's official website: 'The truth is we knew it would be a difficult week, starting with the trip to Stoke last Saturday which as we know is always a complicated task.
'Then there was the trip to Atletico Madrid, arriving back early the next morning at 5am on Thursday, with practically only one day to prepare for the match.
'We faced a City team who came well prepared. They had home games and one extra day of rest.
'We are making no excuses but it was a difficult week and we have competed. We gave it everything and could not have done anything more.'
The Spaniard knows Chelsea can bounce back from the defeat
The former Arsenal star is confident Chelsea can bounce back from the defeat, stressing that the season has only just begun.
He added: 'They [City] are a great team. We know that. They had won their last two games, much in the same manner that we did, so congratulations to them.
'This was without a doubt the same Chelsea of last season, but what happened was that we came up against a City side who went into the game much better rested than we did. Nothing more.
'This time last year we were eight points behind, but it doesn't mean anything. There is still a long way to go in all comp

Faith Lutheran College students host Back 2 Business conference
FAITH Lutheran College year 12 students learning real world experience at school, successfully organising and hosting their Back 2 Business Conference.
As part of their business curriculum, students held workshops focusing on financial and operations management, tourism and legal topics learnt in class and invited guest speakers on Tuesday.
Parking Deals Australia founder Rylan Kindness spoke about the importance of real world experiences while others talked about creating a start up business and how social media can be used as data collection.
Faith Lutheran College Redlands principal Shane Altmann said schools should be looking more at creating real world scenarios for students, using practical studies like the Back 2 Business event.
"This event moves beyond scenario planning and places students in a space where they have to take the planning and make it happen," he said.
"This is not merely an intellectual exercise.
"There is real world experience in having to contact presenters, pull together schedules, deal with changes to plans, create communications with the community and so on."
Mr Altmann said the college used a practical event as a powerful learning exercise.
"Most schools have vocational and training pathways that sit parallel with traditional academic pathways as we do," he said.
"Faith Lutheran College Redlands however, is actively engaged in re-imagining and re-thinking education beyond a traditional model by seeking authentic opportunities for students to engage with learning in a way that is relevant to their real-world needs."
On track
Mr Altmann said tweaking educational experiences so students could improve skills such as innovation, problem solving and creativity was at the forefront of their work at the college.
"Simply remembering some facts and regurgitating them in an assignment or exam does little to grow learning or understanding, at the very least it is lower order thinking."
The college is on the right track following a report by Mitchell Institute at Victoria University found there was a need for more partnerships between companies and schools to better prepare students for the workforce.
Mitchell Institute director Megan O'Connell said some students had access to valuable experiences like industry mentoring and entrepreneurship programs but this was not the case for all students.
"We need to make sure every student can access meaningful experiences that provide connections with people outside of usual school and family networks," she said.
"All students should be able to think about how the world of work aligns with their passions and interests at school.
"Partnerships between schools and industry is one of the best ways to make sure students understand and develop the skills they need for their future careers, so this needs to be a priority for all Australian schools."
