In the era of Wallace v. UGG, so-called "Wallace Damages" for bad faith in the manner of dismissal were very common. If the employer was a prick in the manner in which it dismissed an employee, the period of reasonable notice would be extended by a month or more to compensate the employee for 'bad faith discharge'.
When the Supreme Court of Canada revisited the Wallace rule in Honda v. Keays (2008), it decided that things had gone too far. Almost every wrongful dismissal lawsuit was throwing in a claim for Wallace damages. In Honda, the SCC put an end to the Wallace approach of extending the notice period to punish employers who fail to dismiss workers in a respectful manner. It said that from now on, damages could still be awarded for bad faith in the manner of dismissal if the employer engages in conduct that is "unfair or is in bad faith by being, for example, untruthful, misleading or unduly insensitive". However, the conduct must be 'egregious', and must cause actual physical damage, such as mental distress, that could have been contemplated by the parties. When such damage occurs, the damages should reflect the actual damage suffered, and not be assessed by simply bumping up the notice period.
Many cases that would have resulted in bad faith damages under Wallace are no longer successful under the Honda approach. Consider a recent case called Evans v. Complex out of Ontario.
Facts – Evans v. Complex (2012, Ont. SCJ)
Evans was 52 years old, with 8.5 years service when she was dismissed without cause. It appears from the ruling that the employer gave her the statutory minimum of 8 week's notice. The judge explained the circumstances of her termination as follows:
On May 5, 2005, the day before Wendy's termination, a very unfortunate incident took place. Wendy required authorization for over-time work and further authorization to have a vendor access one of her systems. She needed that authorization from Tom MacKenzie, the defendant's manager of operations and, from Larry Fretz whose position was at a similar level to that of MacKenzie. When she telephoned MacKenzie he advised her that Fretz was present in his office. Wendy then heard Tom MacKenzie advise Larry Fretz that the plaintiff was on the phone requesting authorization but "don't spend too much time on this, Wendy's getting canned tomorrow anyway."
The comment of MacKenize was unprofessional, callous and careless. It was compounded by management when they did not deal with Wendy immediately and appropriately. When she confronted her superiors regarding the comment, she was not told the truth by either Tom MacKenzie or Tim Rodd, MacKenzie's superior. She was allowed to continue working a further 9 hours overtime under the impression that she was not to be terminated the following day.
So, to summarize, Evans learned of her imminent dismissal by overhearing a comment that she was to be 'canned tomorrow', and then was lied to about whether that was in fact true. The judge characterized the employer's treatment as "at a minimum unfair and cruel'. Evans presented evidence that she required medication for depression afterwards, though the judge noted that the cause of the depression was not made clear in evidence.
The court ruled that the conduct, while unprofessional, dishonest, callous, careless, unfair, and cruel, nevertheless fell below the threshold required for bad faith damages in Honda. The judge wrote:
… while Wendy's employers are certainly not to be commended for their conduct, their conduct does not appear to reach the level of misconduct contemplated in Gismondi or Pate. On the evidence presented, it is not open to this court to find that the misconduct of Complex through Tom MacKenzie and Tim Rodd caused or contributed to any depression on Wendy's part. It is perfectly understandable that the fact of her termination caused Wendy to suffer considerable pain and distress over the actual loss of her job, but the Honda decision makes it clear that damages are not available for that kind of pain and distress.
The judge's decision appears to be based on two findings: (1) the conduct falls short of the Honda standard for bad faith conduct in the manner of dismissal; and (2) the medical evidence did not prove that the depression was a result of the cruel manner in which she was dismissed, as opposed to the fact of dismissal itself. I noted when Honda came out that it would be very difficult for employees to prove that distinction, since the 'manner of dismissal' and the dismissal itself will almost always occur simultaneously. Assigning harm to one event and not the other seems like an artificial exercise.
Questions for Consideration
1. I think this is another case that would have resulted in Wallace damages, but does not result in Honda damages. Whether you think that is a good thing or not for employment law is a matter of opinion and perspective. Do you think an employer who acts with dishonesty and cruelty (to use the judges words) deserved to be punished in some way for that conduct?
2. Remember that there is an implied term in every employment contract, including Evans' contract, that the employer will treat the employee with respect, dignity, and decency. Do you think that the employer violated that term in its behaviour the day before Evans was fired? If it was a violation of that contract term, then should Evans be able to recover damages for that breach, separate from the damages for breach of the separate contract term requiring 'reasonable notice' of termination? Why or why not?
3. Once again, we seem to have an employer who gave the employee the ESA 'minimum notice' amount of 8 weeks until it is sued, at which point it comes to court and says, ok, ok, we admit we should have given the employee at least "6-8 month's notice". The judge ordered 9 month's notice, out of which the employee must now pay her legal fees, which will bring her take home from the wrongful dismissal win well below the 6-8 months' pay the employer admits it should have given from the outset. What do you think of employers who give employees the minimum ESA notice period when the contractual notice term required considerably more than that? Should courts punish those employers, or is this just smart tactics by the employers, who know that most employees won't ever sue to recover the contractual notice period?

It's Iimi! Storm Brewing?
All Iimi and Krysta wanted to do was meet up with the others and hang out after school. All Krysta wanted to do first was to drop out of the Social Justice club, which she had strong moral reservations over. Unfortunately, Mrs. Otios saw the resignation as based in intolerance. Iimi reluctantly led the challenge to her assumptions: If imposing beliefs on another is wrong because values are relative (think about that for a moment), then doesn't that make imposing values on Christians wrong? And if objective right and wrong exist, then what makes the attacks on Christian teachings right?

The mention of summer brings up a lot of images for many people. Long lazy sunny days, ubiquitous pool parties, fun beach outings and yearned-for cold treats are some of the most frequent and anticipated. Yet for the common Pakistani, the most familiar association with summers is not really the generally unwelcome sun or the slightly more pleasant activities. It is simply tons and tons of mangoes!
These little juicy bursts of taste and deliciousness are what we look forward to every time the hot summer months roll around to test our patience, skin tones and built-in resistance to heat. Even as we grieve the often times unbearable garmi and the frequent, free of charge saunas, we sure manage to find our silver lining. And it's a damn good one at that!
The plump pieces of fruit with the perfect sunny shade of yellow that you can suddenly find everywhere here come June are the saving grace of summers in Pakistan. These are practically devoured by even those who don't typically like fruits. And the divine nectar that seeps out of these sweet pouches is enough to lure even the most hardcore of dieters into a full blown eating fest.
Mangoes are the kind of fruits that allow you to go all out and use your imagination to ensure the best possible consumer satisfaction. You can cut them right through the middle for your own two private cups of pulp begging to be dug into or filled up with ice cream for an added twist. Or you can always just suck the juice and mush right out of the fruit after chopping off one of the ends. But sometimes, just for the presentation of food and fake show of good manners, you tend to take a more civilized route and slice the golden-ish bits of heaven into well measured slices to serve on a royal platter of fruity goodness. Or you go a step further and dice them up nice and even to fill up a bowl you can access with a fork while you read your morning paper (or fan yourself with it to ward off the heat.) And of course, chunks of mangoes are also meant to top off your custards, cakes and frozen yogurt, and made into pickles. Because mangoes are a summer treat through and through, and should be treated as such!
They're quite a healthy option too, being an excellent source of fiber, Vitamin A, C and B6. And after you're done with the sweet feast, you can simply wash it all down with a cold glass or two of lassi; to supposedly negate all the binging and allow you to reach for a couple of more. Or you can simply blend the mangoes right into the milk for a hearty snack of thick and chilled shake if you're not up for the messy eating. But whatever the way you choose to consume them, mangoes are an essential part of summer. If they haven't hit your nearest food store or carts at the chowk yet, the season simply hasn't started.
The absolute best part about our mangoes is that there isn't just one kind sold around here. There is a wide variety of the fruit available and grown in the country; each suited to the individual palate and all sets of taste buds. While mangoes are considered the King of the fruits, there's a particular kind that wears the crown within the family as well. Chaunsa is considered the best of the mangoes by virtue of its vibrant yellow hue, saccharine scent and the sweetest of mango flavors. Its main areas of cultivation are in Multan and Sahiwal, and the harvests ripen in June-July.
Anwar Ratol is a variety of Mangoes that is smaller in size than the average fruit but can arguably be declared as the sweetest in taste. It is grown mainly in Punjab, and remains a local favorite. Sindhri is a similar type to Chaunsa, and originates from the province of Sindh, in case you couldn't guess. The Langra mango is also characteristically sweet and plump, and gives out a delicious smell when ripening.
But besides all that, if you ever want to know the true worth of these treasure troves of scrumptious fruity flesh, you should try going a summer or two without these Pakistani goodies grazing your fruit baskets and salads. And on top of that, if you want to learn some compassion, just remember that's what most of the international community has to go through year after year. Summers without mangoes, isn't that an outrage?!
It is one thing not to know what you're missing out on, but when you're a Pakistani abroad, the lack of these kinds of mangoes can drive you mad quicker than the Chinese water torture. And this plight of the Pakistani expats is what kick started the export of our superior fruit to the United States for the first time this year. USA is one of the biggest markets for mangoes with an annual demand of 200,000 tons, and Mexican, Indian and Australian varieties were widely imported. Pakistani mango exporters usually felt discouraged from this profitable market because of the requirement of irradiation to be undergone only in the expensive American facilities. A relatively cheaper irradiation center in Houston, however, has reduced the export costs and made the venture feasible this year.
Much to the delight of Pakistani's and foreigners alike, the mangoes are now available in a number of cities in the USA. Two and a half kilogram packs of the fruit are currently going for $25, and the supplies are selling out as soon as they arrive.
The All Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters, Importers and Merchant Association (PFVA) have set a target of exporting 175,000 tons of mangoes worth $65 million for the year 2014. Europe usually receives 24,000 tons of mangoes from Pakistan annually but this year the number is expected to go down because of the stricter safety measures all food imports into the EU are being subjected to. Pakistan presently exports mangoes to around 27 countries including Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Holland, Canada, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Australia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, UAE, and some other counties in the Middle East.
If you want to be a generous giver this season, send your loved ones a fruit basket or two or three of ripe mangoes for the perfect summer gift. It is the one present you're sure no one is going to want to return!

NEW YORK (March 24, 2022) — Season 14 of AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange opens on Monday, April 4, with the "other lads from Liverpool," the pioneering soul and funk band The Real Thing, whose meteoric rise to the top of the musical charts in 1970s England changed the face of music. Airing at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m.
NEW YORK (March 24, 2022) — Season 14 of AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange opens on Monday, April 4, with the "other lads from Liverpool," the pioneering soul and funk band The Real Thing, whose meteoric rise to the top of the musical charts in 1970s England changed the face of music. Airing at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) on WORLD Channel and worldchannel.org, Simon Sheridan's documentary Everything: The Real Thing Story follows the group, dubbed "The Black Beatles" by the British tabloids, as they blazed new trails and spoke up during fraught racial times. Executive produced and presented by Black Public Media (BPM) and WORLD Channel, AfroPoP is a documentary series of compelling stories about Black life throughout the African diaspora co-presented and distributed nationally by American Public Television (APT).
Called "the searing saga of Britain's soul pioneers" by The Guardian and narrated by actor-musician Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones), Everything: The Real Thing Story presents members of the groundbreaking group reflecting on their success and acclaimed British recording artists, including Billy Ocean, Kim Wilde and David Essex, discussing the group's enduring legacy. Their early days in Liverpool's Toxteth neighborhood are explored, including their rise to the top of UK charts with 1976's "You To Me Are Everything" and the tumultuous subsequent years to follow, as they worked to balance their desire for continued chart-dominance with the need to address the racism and oppression experienced by Black communities in Britain, despite the costs.
"Many Americans may remember The Real Thing's song Children of the Ghetto, recorded by Earth, Wind & Fire lead singer Phillip Bailey and Mary J. Blige, but they may not know about the incredible life story of the group who wrote it," said Leslie Fields-Cruz, AfroPoP executive producer. "Simon Sheridan's moving documentary about The Real Thing exemplifies the interconnectedness of Black people's struggles globally and the unparalleled power of music to unite people across cultures."
"Once again AfroPoP is bringing fascinating stories of game-changing individuals to the airwaves as it continues to sear into our collective consciousness the most pressing issues of the day," said Chris Hastings, co-executive producer of AfroPoP and executive producer at WORLD Channel at GBH in Boston. "We look forward to sharing Everything: The Real Thing Story with WORLD Channel viewers across platforms."
AfroPoP Season 14 continues with new episodes each Monday through May 2. Other documentaries this season include: Raja Amari's She Had a Dream (April 11) the story of a young Black Tunisian woman running for political office; Dieudo Hamadi's Downstream to Kinshasa (April 18), a film that follows several survivors of the Six-Day War in the Democratic Republic of Congo — many now living with disabilities — on a treacherous journey to their nation's capital to demand compensation for the injuries they sustained; Restitution? Africa's Fight for its Art (April 25), Nora Philippe's examination of the international debate on the return of African art to its rightful countries centuries after it was looted by colonizers; and season finale Revolution from Afar (May 2), Bentley Brown's portrait of young Sudanese American artists advocating in support of the revolution in Sudan as they work to understand their connection to a motherland some have never visited.
AfroPoP will broadcast on WORLD Channel and stream on worldchannel.org. The series will also stream on WORLD's YouTube Channel and on all station-branded PBS platforms, including PBS.org and the PBS Video app, available on iOS, Android, Roku streaming devices, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, Chromecast and VIZIO.
APT will release the new season to public television stations nationwide on Sunday, May 1.

The absence of second-year inside linebacker Ryan Shazier has been felt over the course of the last two games as he sits out with a shoulder injury, for which he was reportedly back in a sling yesterday after returning to practice.
It's a topic that we have touched on a couple of times over the past two weeks, which admittedly is probably influenced by the strong last impression that he gave against the 49ers, during which he registered 15 tackles, three for a loss, a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
Evidently one of the things that enabled Shazier to become such an impact player for the Pittsburgh Steelers defense was, according to defensive coordinator Keith Butler, his penchant for, a time or two, improvising rather than running the play as called when he saw an opportunity to make a play.
That is not to say that Shazier is becoming to this defense what Troy Polamalu was for about a decade. Polamalu proved to be a generational talent, while Shazier is just trying to stay on the field for now. And the assignments for an inside linebacker vary wildly in comparison to a strong safety.
No, according to Butler, it's not a feature of his game, nor is it a defect. The first-time coordinator told Steelers.com yesterday that, while "nobody let him" improvise" on a play, "you don't want to coach him out of making plays" either.
Butler made clear to stress that Shazier far more often than not ran "within the construct of the defense", and that these improvisational opportunities only came around a couple of times, and there is no evidence on tape that I see to dispute that.
But the difference between 2015 and 2014 is that, this year, at least through the first two games, when Shazier has gone outside of the construct of the defense, he made the play, whereas in his rookie season he failed to do so, and that no doubt influenced his decreased playing time after returning from his second injury.
While Butler certainly would not want to be undermined by his defense, with his defenders speaking publicly about being able to make plays because they chose to deviate from the scheme that he laid out, he is not in opposition to his players taking the initiative under the appropriate circumstances.
The only request that he makes of his players when doing so is that they make the play, and Shazier was doing just that prior to his injury. Up to that point, he was certainly looking like the defensive piece that was missing—or at least one of the pieces.
When he returns, whether that is on Monday night or at a later date, he should be bringing back his exceptional sideline-to-sideline speed and rapid diagnosis to a defense that has been lacking that over the past two weeks. When he combines those two traits, he creates opportunities for himself to make plays, often for a loss, that others on the team simply cannot create for themselves.

Over a month ago, the 35 countries that make up the International Atomic Energy Agency tried to elect a new Director to succede Mohamed ElBaradei, who is retiring in November. They tried, and then they tried again — and again and again, six times in all. Each time, neither of the leading candidates, Yukiya Amano of Japan or Abdul Samad Minty of South Africa, received the necessary 2/3 vote to win.
So, the field was opened to new candidates, and it looks like a Spaniard, one Luis Echavarri, currently the Director-General of the OECD's Nuclear Energy Agency, who might break the stalemate. The question is whether Echavarri will be able to bridge the gap that doomed both Amano, who received the bulk of his support from Western nations, and Minty, the candidate favored by the developing world. Amano and Minty are also both candidates this time around, as are two other experienced European nuclear diplomats, but it's Echavarri who looks like he could be the consensus pick (interestingly, ElBaradei also had not been on the original ballot, and was chosen after a similar stalemate). Echavarri certainly seems confident:
"I can offer a solution to the standoff," Mr. Echávarri said during an interview in Madrid. "We believe a consensus candidacy is taking shape, although we need more time. My goal is to get unanimous support, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be that way."
Another diplomat, though, complained that Echavarri was not "inspiring" enough. With North Korea threatening more nuclear tests and Iran's centrifuges still spinning, though, the IAEA might not have time to find the most "inspiring" candidate.
Stay tuned for updates.

|✅ Published: 1st Jan 2015
What is taste. Taste is cultural phenomenon that is based on the choice in cultural method and reference. It is an ideology and not just purely aesthetic, even cultural social and political processes can create it. Taste and consumption can be connected together because the choices of consumers in the market are directly affected by the taste for certain types of products or clothing. The relationship between taste and consumption is however more complicated than a direct chain of events in which taste creates demand that, thus creates supply. Taste has been studied in many scientific fields, especially within the fields of psychology, economics and sociology. Gijs Bakker said that taste is an individual choice, which has nothing to do with good or bad taste. So what are the influences of taste? To explain such influences, I shall use high fashion as the backbone for discussion.

What is haute couture? In French, Haute couture means High fashion. Haute means 'High or elegant' and couture means 'dressmaking'. But the term 'haute couture' not only means "high dressmaking" or "elegant dressmaking", the term "Haute Couture" represents and consists of exclusive business of designing, making, and selling custom handmade women's clothing (David Johnson, infoplease.com). Haute Couture is the top of the fashion market because the prestige commands the highest prices. Designers will use the expensive materials like Toile and definitely pay attention to the details to make high-quality dresses for their consumers. It is a time-consuming work because the dresses are usually hand-stitched. High fashion is always a pioneer on their design process and idea in the fashion industry. Nowadays, the examples of famous couture houses that are considered as high fashion are Valentino, Lacroix, Chanel, Balmain, Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga, Lanvin and Yves Saint Laurent.
The price of a simple blouse could cost from about £10,000 to £40,000. Sometimes the price would even get higher! For example, a Chanel suit that was sold in the year 2002 had cost £20,000; also an evening frock cost £50,000 in the mid 2004. Due to the craftsmanship, services, originality of the design and the finest quality of superb materials, it is very hard to accept the price by those people who can't afford it (Pauline Weston Thomas, fashion-era.com). Nowadays there are only around 2,000 women are buys couture clothing in the world, 60 percent of them are Americans, and only 200 of them are regular customers. Designers will always loan clothes to celebrities or well known people for publicity. After World War II, it was the golden age of high fashion, there were around 15,000 women wearing couture. (David Johnson, infoplease.com). Although it was the golden age of high fashion, but yet the market was very small so that the designers had to be forced to use their prestige to help sell other products, such as cosmetics, perfume, and their ready-to-wear lines (David Johnson, infoplease.com). In this essay, I will argue that major economic and social changes have been important factors that influenced the taste in high fashion.
World War II was one of the factors that had the greatest influence on haute couture in the 1940s. The war had brought many restrictions on it. During the war, the need for parachutes and other materials had caused the low supply in nylon fabric. Not only that, the Nazi forces also occupied the primary couture design center that is Paris during that time. This occupation had caused the couture houses to be unable to do business therefore many people were looking for new designers at other places instead of Paris. By 1947, the couture houses in Paris were still continuously dominating the high fashion industry after it had reopened. After the war, designers started using new fabrics. Women were encouraged to become homemakers after the war. They were moving out of the workplace, and the Western countries were also encouraged the feminine and ornate fashion. (www.ladyjojosboutique.wordpress.com) Dior stated that: "War had passed out of sight, and there were no other wars on the horizon. What did the weight of my sumptuous materials, my heavy velvets and brocades matter? When hearts were light, mere fabrics could not weigh the body down." (Christian Dior, 1947) The short skirts and square shoulders (Fig. 1) were replaced by the Christian Dior's "New Look" (Fig. 2). It included sweeping longer skirts, fitter waist and rounded shoulders. "I wanted my dresses to be constructed, melded upon the curves of the feminine body, whose sweep they would stylize," stated by Christian Dior in his autobiography.

Once the New Look had appeared, the designs of Dior were very influential in the decade which refers to the silhouette of broad hips, small waists, and breasts pushed up and out rounded shoulders (Fig. 3) of the 50's style.
Big day for fashion designers:
Christian Dior (Jan. 21, 1905 – 1957), was an influential French fashion designer, who despite his short life did more than anyone to revive fashion after WW II with his modern New Look…

The emergence of Hippies culture in 1960s also influenced the design of high fashion. The Hippies rebelled against the established institutions and also criticized middle class values. The trend of Hippies look (Fig. 4) was popularized by mainly musicians, such as; Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and the Beatles.

As a youth movement, the ideology of Hippie started in the United States; it was a protest against a society that was increasingly becoming conformist and restrictive. Finding their own ways and their own meanings to life were the aims of the Hippies, which were focused on going back to nature and freedom. As cultural anthropologist and writer Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world, indeed it's the only thing that ever has." (Margaret Mead, 1964) The styles and cuts of the fabric of their clothing reflected their thoughts; even the fabrics were natural fibres like hemp and cotton. The Hippies used their clothes to express their individualism. The spirit of youthful exuberance inspired forward-thinking high fashion designer. They began designing mini-skirts and pantsuits because they saw the creative and financial potentials in the youth market. For example, the Safari jacket of Yves Saint Laurent (Fig. 5) from his Rive Gauche boutique.

During the 1980's there were great economic growth and prosperity. It was a period of wealth, excess and desire. Many women had entered the workforce and some have been moved to higher positions. The office clothings that women usually wore had made them feel uncomfortable, impractical and insufficient due to being in the business industry. This causes men's styles of clothing to become very popular among women.
"Women value unique products and brands that they can use to define their individuality. Females actively seek new styles and fashion trends to a larger extent than men. Women are more sensitive to clothing needs and possess a greater clothing awareness than men." (Adjei, Griffith & Noble, 2006, p.177)
The large shoulder pads and tailored suit pants were created stronger silhouette of women in their new success. One of the examples is Giorgio Armani's Power Suit (Fig. 6). As fashion editor for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and The New York Times Magazine Carrie Donovan said that, "Giorgio Armani was the first to float the idea. When the Milanese maestro of the tailored suit decided to soften his precise shapes a few seasons ago, he also began paying special attention to the blouses that accompanied them. Adding details like delicate collars or a bit of draping, and making the blouses from semi sheer silky fabrics, he started a trend that has bloomed into an American fashion statement." (http://garmentozine.com/tag/giorgio-armani/) Armani's suits were applauded by executive women in the 1980s as a method of casually asserting their status and talent, because of their high quality materials, beautiful tailoring, and comfortableness. Shoulder pads increased the sizes of shoulders. Besides that, they also wore the extend pants and tight skirts that waist and hips were trimmed in. These can help them to conceal their femininity and thus having the ability to defeat men in the business world.

"The term gender can be further developed with the terms gender identity and gender role attitudes. However, to simply measure sex cannot be a guarantee of capturing gender identity or gender role attitudes. Gender identity can be explained as to which degree a man or a woman identifies with masculine and feminine personality traits. Gender role attitudes refer to differences regarding the responsibilities, roles, and rights of men and women." (Fischer & Arnold, 1994, p.163)

In 2000s, natural disasters prompted human to accept that the earth was sick. So, the eco-friendly concept has been used in high fashion to improve the health of the environment. In the mid-late 2000s, recycled vintage clothing styles from 1940s to 1980s and also ethnical clothing such as fake furs were predominant in this decade. The fashion industry has the biggest support on the eco-friendly fashions. Designers started using the organic fabrics such as wool, organic cotton, soy silk and bamboo. (http://stylechicago.com) Linda Loudermilk was the pioneer of the green fashion movement. She merges the skills of high fashion and environment awareness with the materials made from sasawashi, bamboo, sea cell and soybeans. Linda Loudermilk urged that: "Look for three-dimensional designs and fabric embellishments, unusual insets fashioned from vintage laces and trims transform frocks from classic to collectable. Venture beyond the plain and simple to luxury-eco artistic designs that usher in a new era of environmentalism fresh from an artist's palette of sophisticated styles." (Michael Lackman, 2005) Her fall 2007 collection "Too Hot to Handle" (Fig. 7) was a corn fibre volume coat with wood pulp leggings on the left and Japanese rice paper ice blue-falling floor length train coat on the right. It was inspired by icebergs, the "rock stars of nature." Nature is the inspiration for Loudermilk. Her adroit design turns the funk into stylish punk and it all goes back to the nature. Her official websites claimed that: "We aim to give eco glamour legs, a fabulous look and a slamming's attitude that stops traffic and shouts the message: eco can be edgy, loud, fun, playful, feminine (or not) and hyper-cool." (http://www.lindaloudermilk.com)
Fig. 7 Linda Loudermilk Fall 2007 Collection
In conclusion, high fashion is the sign of wealth and elegance. Major social and economic changes are important factors that influenced the design concepts and taste in high fashion. One of the best ways for designers to predict trends of high fashion is perhaps to understand the key events of a decade. Fashion reflects society. "Fashion is always of the time in which you live." quoted by Coco Chanel. Some events will change the style of high fashion, but some will impact on the usage of materials in design. Similar to a piece of artwork, the designs of high fashion are the artistic expressions of designers. It represents the social symbol through its cultural connotations. I believe that high fashion will always be the pioneer in the fashion industry.

«Efectos de dosis ultrabajas de estradiol transdermal en la densidad mineral del hueso: Un ensayo clínico seleccionado al azar.»
Bruce Ettinger, MD*, Kristine E. Ensrud, MD, MPH, Robert Wallace, MD, Karen C. Johnson, MD, MPH, Steven R. Cummings, MD¶, Vladimir Yankov, MD||, Eric Vittinghoff, PhD, MPH* and Deborah Grady, MD, MPH*¶||*
From the *Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, Oakland, California; Epidemiology Clinical Research Center, University of Minnesota, and Veteran's Administration Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Department of Epidemiology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa; Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, Memphis, Tennessee; ¶Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California, and Clinical Research Division, California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, San Francisco, California; ||Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc, Suffern, New York; and **Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Women's Health Clinical Research Center, Mount Zion Medical Center, University of California, San Francisco, California.Because small increments in levels of endogenous plasma estradiol are associated with higher postmenopausal bone mineral density, we investigated the safety and effectiveness in preventing bone loss of unopposed, very-low-dose transdermal estradiol for postmenopausal women.
This was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial with 2-year follow-up at 9 United States clinical centers. The study population comprised 417 postmenopausal women, aged 6080 years, with intact uterus and bone mineral density z scores of 2.0 or higher, who were randomly assigned to receive either unopposed transdermal estradiol at 0.014 mg/d (n = 208) or placebo (n = 209). All participants received calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Lumbar spine and total hip bone mineral density change was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; endometrial hyperplasia incidence was assessed by endometrial biopsy.
Median plasma estradiol level in the estradiol group increased from 4.8 pg/mL at baseline to 8.5 pg/mL at 1 year (P < .001 versus baseline) and to 8.6 pg/mL at 2 years (P < .001 versus baseline) and was unchanged in the placebo group. Lumbar spine bone mineral density increased 2.6% in the estradiol group and 0.6% in the placebo group (between-group difference 2.0%, P < .001). Mean total hip bone mineral density increased 0.4% in the estradiol group and decreased 0.8% in the placebo group (between-group difference 1.2%, P < .001). Osteocalcin levels and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase were lower in the estradiol group than the placebo group (P < .001 each). Endometrial hyperplasia developed in 1 woman in the estradiol group but in none of the placebo group (difference in 2-year rates 0.5%, 95% confidence interval 07.3%).
Postmenopausal treatment with low-dose, unopposed estradiol increased bone mineral density and decreased markers of bone turnover without causing endometrial hyperplasia.

Effect of malnutrition on iron metabolism -- a study of 45 children.
Iron deficiency (ID) is widely prevalent in India. Its diagnosis is commonly confirmed by a low serum iron together with a transferrin saturation (TS) of under 16%.[2] Transferrin is an iron binding protein and it is commonly expressed in terms of its iron binding capacity. The fall in serum iron is not diagnostic of ID as it also occurs in inflammatory disorder[5], [12] and malignancies.[3] Similarly, although the total serum iron binding capacity (TIBC) is usually raised in III, it may remain normal or even low.[15] Even in such cases, the TS is rarely above 16% and hence this level is considered to indicate normal iron status.[15] But any condition which leads to a severe transferrin deficiency, could result in its higher saturation with iron despite iron deficiency. Such conditions include hereditary atransferrinemia,[9] nephrotic syndrome,[8] undernutrition, malabsorption and protein losing enteropathy.[8] In the present study, we have investigated 45 children with protein energy malnutrition to see the effect of such malnutrition on iron binding capacity and indirectly on transferrin saturation.
Forty-five unrelated children with a mean age of 3.8 years (1.5-8 years) were studied. These were cases of protein energy malnutrition admitted in the Pediatric Units of our hospital. The cases were divided into three groups i.e. (1) kwashiorkor-10 cases, (2) marasmic kwashiorkor-20 cases and (3) marasmus-15 cases, as per "Wellcome Classification" shown in [Table 1]. 14 Cases with evidence of active infection on history, clinical examination, chest radiography or urine examination were excluded. None had proteinuria while renal chemistry (blood urea nitrogen and creatinine) was normal in all.
Fifteen children referred for iron deficiency anemia without any clinical evidence of protein energy malnutrition with a mean age of 4.1 years (1.5-8 years) formed the control group. Standard haematological techniques were used as described by Dacie and Lewis.[6] Iron studies were done by using Ramsay's method.[13] Protein electrophoresis was carried out in each case. Patients were said to have iron deficiency anemia if the Hb could be shown to rise with iron therapy.[8], [15]
Thirty-one patients out of 45 could be said to have iron deficiency anemia on the basis that their Hb improved with iron therapy. Distribution of these 31 cases between the different groups is shown in [Table 2]. Out of these 31 cases, only 15 had a transferrin saturation of less than 16% [Table 2]. The incidence of iron deficiency together with a diagnostic fall in transferrin saturation in individual groups is also shown in [Table 2].
[Table 3] shows the results of serum iron, iron binding capacity and serum albumin in the different groups.
Transferrin is a pink glycoprotein with an electrophoretic mobility of betaglobulin.[4] It is synthesised in various tissues but mainly in the liver.[10] Its plasma concentration is about 230 mg/dl,[8] and its half disappearance time is about 10 days.[10] Transferrin is more commonly quantitated in terms of the amount of iron it can bind i.e. TIBC.[13] The normal TIBC is about 300 ug/dl. Only about one-third of the available sites are occupied by iron and thus the transferrin saturation is about 33% (16-45%).[8] In iron deficiency, the serum iron level and the transferrin saturation (TS) are lowered.[8] The TS of less than 16% is required before a confident diagnosis of iron deficiency can be made in a case of anemia.[8], [15] If the transferrin level fails to rise or if it falls, the usefulness of the transferrin saturation in the diagnosis of iron deficiency is lost. Of the various factors that reduce the transferrin level, infections, inflammation and proteinuric conditions were carefully ruled out in the present study and hence undernutrition appeared to be the chief cause of lowered TIBC.
Cases with kwashiorkor had the maximum decrease in the iron binding capacity while those with marasmus had the minimum [Table 3]. The lowest TIBC (57 ug%) was also seen in a patient with kwashiorkor. This could be correlated with the degree of fall in the serum albumin level which was also maximum in the kwashiorkor group [Table 3]. Despite these variations, all the three groups had significantly low TIBC as compared to the control group with pure iron deficiency and normal serum albumin [Table 3].
It is important to realise that the absolute value of TIBC is very often used to differentiate between iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic systemic disorders as TIBC is increased in iron deficiency while it is invariably decreased in chronic disorders.[2] The present report highlights the effect of hypoproteinemia in obscuring such differentiation.
The importance of transferrin in iron deficiency anaemia can be realised if its role in iron metabolism can be reviewed. The transferrin mediated delivery of iron to red cell precursors imparts direction to the flow of iron.[7] Unbound iron is not oriented towards red marrow. Instead it leaves plasma rapidly and gets distributed into many tissues.[7] Such biological importance of transferrin is classically seen in congenital atransferrinemia,[9] where tissues are loaded with iron but red cells have morphological stigmata of iron deficiency with no iron in the marrow.[9] This highlights that merely giving iron to such undernourished hypoproteinemic individuals is not adequate. The protein supply to correct the transferrin deficiency and hence to direct the iron towards the marrow is also equally important. Lastly, Antia et al[l] have shown that transferrin may be a better index of malnutrition than albumin. McFarlane et al[11] have considered that transferrin has a bactericidal action and in its absence, free iron may favour bacterial multiplication. Giving iron therapy to such patients without replacing proteins could thus be positively harmful.

- Chat pass (£3 per month): Includes WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook Messenger
There's also a combined pass, containing all the bundles for £15 per month.
You'll need to use the official apps for the data used to be recognised as part of the bundle (so don't go to Twitter through your phone's web browser, for example). Any service not listed in the bundle will still come out of your normal allowance. The video pass also includes TV Player, Vevo and My5 but notably doesn't include BBC iPlayer, the ITV Hub or 4OD.
Vodafone also has a new pay-as-you-go plan which gives unlimited minutes, texts and 500MB of data, but caps all usage at £1 a day. Only send one text in a day? That'll be 20p. Send 500 texts and spend an hour on a call? That'll be a pound. Lovely stuff.

Maximize the Customer Satisfaction using Survey Reports
If anything has been learned last holiday season, it is the consumer-that tried and true, gifts-seeking champion-long in hibernation, has resurfaced. Times have changed, the marketplace if distinct, but the shopper is back. And while they could now be armed with a debit card rather than their Express, and they are spending again – and they are spending in shops.
With all the media attention on internet shopping in the previous ten decades, it is easy to overlook that many customers still prefer a concrete, in-person shopping experience. The prior calendar year up to 7.58 billion nationally, and lots of big chains are using their new social networking presence to drive foot traffic back in their stores.
This has influenced many shops to devote more resources using towards enhancing their shopper's in store by visiting www.tellaldi.us survey experience, and many are doing this by using the services of mystery shopper companies. It is perfect time, in our present up-trending retail climate, now is a Perfect time to revaluate and enhance customer service through opinions.
Mystery shopping companies are an effective method of turning higher in store foot traffic to more loyal customers and increased repeat business. And if you are not up to date on what mystery shopper companies can do today, know that opinions provided through mystery shopping is much more advanced and farther reaching than it ever was. Now when mystery shopping started, it may have just been a single shopper giving a grade, coupled perhaps with a written report. Today, that is just scratching the surface. With a combination of technology and good old-fashioned preparation, mystery shopping comments now addresses an organization's complicated system of strengths and needs in its entirety.
The shoppers are still around and their procedures have improved through time, to be sure, but today they are backed by customer feedback surveys, audits, brand research, consultative meetings and much more. When working with certain companies, you can even customize the services that you believe will best benefit your brand.
While it is true that the shopper is feeling a renewed sense of confidence and empowerment, the world's economic woes have not completely healed. All of us know that retail is often the first industry to take a hit in these austere times, so the requirement for retailers to optimize any positive tendency is paramount.
Shoppers are spending more, but when they are spending they are spending more carefully. To capitalize on this, your customer experience has to be the very best. By entering shops in dramatically increased amounts as they have been, clients around the country are demonstrating the in-store experience things to them which they wish to touch, smell and discuss the things they are interested in buying.

Working alone is great, but there will be times when projects require you to collaborate with other freelancers. If things go well, you learn from each other, tap into other people's skills and deliver a better result for the client.
Unfortunately, collaboration isn't always straightforward. Not everyone works to the same standard. Some people are terrible at communicating, and you may all be working in different time zones.
Don't let the challenges put you off completely. Collaborating can be a fantastic experience if you learn how to manage it, and it allows teams of freelancers to compete with big agencies. Here are some tips on how to collaborate successfully with other freelancers.Build a network of trusted partners
Working with people you know, like and trust is more comfortable than trying to collaborate with complete strangers. You might not always get to pick who you work with, but if your client hasn't enlisted anyone else yet, it will work in your favour if you can make recommendations.
Build a network of trusted partners. Your network should include freelancers whose services complement yours as well as freelancers who work in the same field. You can call on these people when a project is too big or too complex for you to manage alone, or if parts of it fall outside your area of expertise.Set the expectations
Set the expectations from the start. Which parts of a project will you be responsible for? Who will be managing the project? Will you all liaise separately with clients or will one person be the point of contact?
If you are combining your services to create a stronger offering, how will this work when enquiries come in? Will you advise the client that you are separate businesses, or will you work under one umbrella as if you are a single company?
If you are regularly collaborating with the same freelancers, it may be beneficial to draw up formal agreements outlining the terms. If you are sub-contracting, make sure that both parties have the appropriate insurance in case anything goes wrong.
Don't be afraid to make things formal. Even if you are good friends with someone now, you can't know for sure how they would behave if there were issues in the future. It's in your best interests, and theirs, to protect your own businesses and reputations.Communicate effectively
When working on joint projects, make sure you communicate regularly. Outline the timescales for project milestones and update each other if there are any delays or setbacks. You can decide on the preferred method of communication early in the project – daily email, weekly call, face-to-face meetings, online tools such as Trello.
If there are any issues or you are unhappy with progress, then pick up the phone and communicate this so that it can be addressed and rectified. Don't let little niggles turn into significant problems.
As well as communicating with the other freelancers, ensure you are communicating with the client. You can reach out to the client yourself or via the project manager. If they have any questions, answer promptly and keep them updated on your progress.Enjoy the process
Working with other people offers lots of benefits – not only for the client but for you as well. You can share skills, knowledge and experience with other freelancers and gain from theirs too.
At Dinghy, we are passionate about bringing freelancers together and helping them grow and succeed. Our insurance products are designed specifically for freelancers so you can feel confident that you have the right level of protection when collaborating on projects. You can find out more about our great insurance products here.

Merged requested to merge brad.king/cmake:android-ndk-r18 into master
NDK r18 drops GCC toolchains and some STL types. We need to choose a
clang toolchain by default when no gcc toolchains are available. Switch
the STL type default to
c++_static when the old
default is not available.
Update the test suite to not run tests for STL types that do not exist.
Also do not expect the gcc toolchain
cpp tool to be available because
r18 does not provide it. Also teach it to tolerate
gcc -dumpmachine
output like
arm--linux-android that differs from the toolchain prefix.

Fiji Airways boss Andre Viljoen says the company is currently not making money.
Speaking yesterday during the Nadi Budget Consultation, Viljoen says despite the freight flights, they are not making any revenue.
Viljoen says some days they fly twice to Hong Kong, Sydney and the US.
Article continues after advertisement
He says 80% of the freight flights are agricultural produce which is vital to ensure the supply flow.
According to Viljoen in the next few weeks they will be looking at plans on how to entice tourists at the Australian and New Zealand markets.
He says for example, a one way trip from Australia to Fiji would be $650 but they are looking at dropping it down to $450.
The airline company boss also says, they need to always be ready for when travel restrictions are lifted.

Well, Bath was buzzing this sunny Saturday – despite the Wessex Water woes on the London Road where traffic was pretty backed up around the repairs going on to stop a mains leak.
It's open week-end for the University of Bath and – this morning – the annual Grand Parade which launches the Jane Austen Festival.
Some great costumed characters too in a gentle stroll from the Holburne Museum and up Great Pulteney Street to the Parade Gardens.
I was otherwise engaged at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution in Queen Square where the last popular Nelson Trail walk was getting underway.
Around 28 people were off to find out more about the people and places connected with Admiral Lord Nelson during his many stays in Bath.
Before they set off l was able to show them the object l had curated and which is in a current exhibition called Chosen. It's a tiny bottle said to be full of some of the alcohol from the barrel in which Nelson's body was brought back for burial from Trafalgar.
The story surrounding the exhibition it is now included in a new edition of Bath and Admiral Nelson which has just been published by The Nelson Society.
Priced at £10 it's available via firstname.lastname@example.com
Find out more about the society via www.nelson-society.com
Meanwhile BRLSI is one of the city's heritage centres involved in this year's Heritage Open Days and l bumped into Elizabeth Vincent this morning who is the author of a new book based on the history of the Institution – which dates back to 1824.
It's called BRLSI Revealed – Its times, its people, its possessions and you can buy it from the Institution which is in Queen Square.
For me this building is as close as you get to a Museum of Bath and the exhibitions on its ground floor are always free to visit.
There is a series of regular lectures on all manner of subjects and by all manner of people. Find out more via www.BRLSI.org

When comparing Leadwerks Game Engine vs GameGuru, the Slant community recommends Leadwerks Game Engine for most people. In the question"What are the best game engines for beginners and non-programmers?" Leadwerks Game Engine is ranked 20th while GameGuru is ranked 33rd. The most important reason people chose Leadwerks Game Engine is:
Leadwerks's flowgraphs resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Versatile flow diagram script model
Leadwerks's flowgraphs resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.
Pro Built-in level editor
Has an acceptable 3D map editor that is easy to use.
Pro Handful of Prefabs and Scripts
For example, you take a model (e.g. torch), add a light source to it, add a particle generator (for fire) and save it as a prefab (one file). Then this prefab can be used to add many torches with fire and light.
Pro Designed for ease of use
Simplicity and accessibility are the core design goals of FPS Creator Reloaded.
Pro Active and helpful community
Users share ideas, help, and advice through the official forums. The community also provides a wealth of free assets, and the GameGuru Assets Store sees constant additions.
Pro Continuous development and updates
News and improvements are released on a monthly schedule. Interaction between The Game Creators and project backers is excellent.
Pro Awesome tech support
Pro Easy to use your own custom assets
Easily import your own 3D models with the built-in importer and create custom characters with the Character creator. Custom weapons are much more difficult, though.
Pro Massive community of users
The gamer creator forums have a large number of users, developing games, making models for sale and to give away for other users. They answer questions, help each other with problems in their games, and can make using this software so much more fun and easy.
Pro Royalty free
Games you publish with GameGuru can be sold without any restrictions or commissions.
Pro Easy to use editor
An easy 3D editor to create your own maps in seconds with drag-and-drop function.
Pro Friendly GUI
Awesome friendly GUI, and quite easy to use.
Pro Building editor
Currently in development but already looking very good! Easily create big and customized buildings with default building blocks and share them with others.
Also very easy to use in the designer: The buildings are treated like entities but still directly available in the 'building editor mode'.
Pro Powerful scripting language
Uses Lua.
Pro Large asset store
A store where you can buy various assets for your games like sounds, 3D models, weapons... Very good prices and a lot of assets are even free.
Pro Feature priorities are chosen by the community
The Game Creators team frequent the forums and ask the community for feeback and suggestions both there and via an open poll on the website. They have a great history of reading suggestions, viewing screenshots, and generally working with the community.
Pro Optimised engine for editor
The game engine is optimized for efficient use of memory.
Con Very buggy
Leadworks is a not complete, it's a work in progress. As such many parts of the engine are clunky, especially the level editor.
Con Documentation and support are limited for non-coders
The flowgraph editor can be used with free script assets to build games without writing any code, but this is not directly intended or encouraged by Leadwerks.
Con Highly misleading advertising
Con Slow
Everything takes ages..feels like Unreal 4
Although you can customize a lot, the user-interface does not show that. But plans are in place to improve this with some front facing GUI into the LUA scripts so you don't need to code as much.

Crazy For You! Madonna's Daughter Ready To Marry Secret Skater Boyfriend
Madonna's oldest daughter is talking about tying the knot with her secret boyfriend of two years, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Lourdes Leon Ciccone, 22, is "madly in love" with Jonathan Puglia, a photographer and skateboarder from Ohio, according to pals.
Lourdes, who goes by Lola, now lives in the Big Apple after studying performing arts at the University of Michigan.
Madonna's daughter prefers to stay away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood, unlike her musical mom.
And while Lola is already making a name for herself in the fashion industry , she doesn't seem particularly interested in public attention.
Jonathan and Lola started dating in 2017 and have vacationed together — and she has visited his family home in Ohio, impressing his hairdresser mother, Lori, 55, insiders said.
"Lola and Jonathan are very much in love. Everyone thinks they're perfect for each other, despite their very different backgrounds," a friend confirmed.
And any upcoming union already has the support of the Material Mom.
"Madonna approves, but the families have little in common and it's not likely they'll mix much!"

Kirsty Mitchell's photography work is a spectacular piece of art. Inspired by the beautiful stories her mom used to say, she created the amazing Wonderland series, a collection of fairytale characters, all shot with natural light and in real locations.
All her stories are adorned with beautiful props, special flower combinations and impressive set designs, all created by a strong design team consisted by friends and volunteers.
|The Wonderland series took up to one year to complete.
Her work is totally breathtaking and have great emotion that exudes through the photos.
Growing up, art became my sole passion. I studied until I was 25, taking courses in the history of art, photography, fine art, and then on to train in 'costume for film and theatre' at the London College of Fashion. Having graduated and worked for a short time in the industry, I decided to further my education, and returned to university, completing a first class degree with honours in fashion design, at Ravensbourne in the summer of 2001. During this time I also completed two internships at the design studios of Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalayan, both of whom have effected me greatly.
Since then I have worked full time as a fashion designer for a global designer brand, until in 2007 when personal illness brought a sudden change in myself, and led me to pick up a camera. I cannot explain how this happened, but a new, deep, and genuine need was born. I used to say I had never truly 'looked' until it was through a lens... life was different, more beautiful, more sad, and extreme in every sense of the word. People mattered, how they sat, how they slept, how they looked when they thought no one else cared. I fell in love with the faces of strangers, and photography gave me a new purpose...... that is, until March 2008.
Tragically my mother was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and my world fell apart. Photography became my only escape when I could no longer talk about how I felt. I lost myself in street portraiture, focusing on those who reflected my own sadness and loss. I later turned the camera inwards, and began photographing myself throughout the hardest year of my life. It became an utter fantasy that blocked out the real world, and a place where I could return to my memories of her, far away from those hospitals walls.
