Denim brand Numero Uno expands to shoes, deodorants
Over the last few months, the home-grown denim company has been expanding its non-apparel portfolio by launching new categories like deodorants, perfumes, body splashes in grooming and leather and fabric shoes in footwear. The company is also expanding its range of accessories.
"We want the brand to be interesting and relevant with the changing times.The brand must evolve over time. We have been doing brand extensions to increase the experience level for customers coming to our stores," said Narinder Singh Dhingra, chairman and managing director at Numero Uno Clothing Ltd.
At present, the non-apparel categories account for 10% of the overall revenue of the company. Declining to disclose the actual revenue of the company, Dhingra said that the idea is to take that percentage up to 25% in two years.
In 2018, the company will be investing Rs25 crore on expanding the new categories and will increase the investment by 20% every year.
While deodorants are priced at Rs195 and perfumes at Rs499, Dhingra said footwear across categories will be priced below Rs2,000. "We are trying to price the products reasonably. These products should not burn a hole in the consumer's pocket," said Dhingra.
Numero Uno is retailed at 220 exclusive stores and 600 multi-brand outlets. The company also sells through large-format stores and online marketplaces like Myntra and Flipkart. Recently, the company ventured into athleisure wear with the launch of a new sub-brand N1.
Experts believe that Numero Uno's move to extend its brand to new categories makes sense. "Denim market is a very competitive market; there is a huge competition with foreign brands coming in as well as online marketplaces expanding. The brand extension makes sense because the brand itself is well known in the market and consumers associate with it," said Arvind Singhal, chairman at consulting firm Technopak Advisors

March 5th, was the first anniversary of Hugo Chavez's death, whom his followers call the "Eternal Commander". A lot has been said about his legacy, and a year after his death, we can analyze it according to what is happening in Venezuela these days. The Corruption Perception Index of 2013 shows that Venezuela is the second most corrupt country of Latin America after Haiti, at 160. The index reflects the governmental corruption in all its levels. It is the result of 14 years of financial misspending and incompetence of the Chavist administration.
Venezuelans know it and live it and have gone out to the streets to protest because they can't stand the shortages that does not let them have access to basic products. On the other hand, they are protesting against the high crime rate. At the beginning of 2013 there was a rate of 72 homicides per 100.000 inhabitants. This rate, according to Observatorio Venezolano de Violencia (NGO), is three times the number of crimes that have happened in other countries like Mexico, Colombia or Brazil, which have an estimated rate of 22 deaths per 100.000 inhabitants. However, demonstrators have experienced heavy repression from the National Guard, and confrontations with task forces sent by the governing party. Due to these evident repressive acts, International Amnesty made a request, so that the government respects the peaceful protests of citizens and their fundamental rights of freedom of speech, meeting and associating.
Nevertheless, the Venezuelan authorities neither tolerate protests, nor explain to people what they are doing to solve the problems. On the contrary, they flood the TV with political meetings to brainwash people on how the crisis that they are living is a work of the "evil hand of imperialism", which wants to take away the power that people has given them to defend "Socialist Revolution". Additionally, they send public employees and other groups from the poorest zones of the cities that they have under their influence, to march and show their political power.
Meanwhile the National Guard goes out to "maintain the order" acting violently against demonstrators, as has been recorded in photographs and videos that the whole world has already seen. The number of deaths during the protests adds up to 18 already, but they cannot hide these deaths, neither blame American imperialism for them nor blame opposition groups, that they called fascist, just because they are exercising their right to protests. 12 months after his death, Chavez's legacy is: economic and social crisis, insecurity, repression and corruption.

It's been three years since anyone has beaten the Bluffton High boys tennis team in region play.
The Bobcats will try to make it through another region schedule without a blemish when they visit Beaufort at 4 p.m. Thursday.
Bluffton (14-3, 9-0 SCHSL Region 8-AAAA) stayed perfect Wednesday afternoon with a quick 6-0 victory against visiting Summerville.
Coach Bob Brown's team can clinch a third consecutive region title at Beaufort. The Bobcats, who handed the Eagles their only 8-AAAA loss in a 5-1 final, have won 25 consecutive region matches since 2011.
"If that holds," said Brown, the Bobcats' ninth-year coach, "that's the biggest thing that I did here."
Brown said the only way Beaufort (8-1 region) can clinch Region 8's top seed for the state tournament Thursday is by beating Bluffton 6-0.
As well as the Bobcats played against Summerville, that appears to be a tall task.
Bluffton got a challenge from the Green Wave in the teams' first meeting, a 4-2 Bobcat victory. It only took about an hour for them to clinch a victory Wednesday against the team Brown said is third-best in the region.
Matthew Bornstein moved from singles to No. 2 doubles, where he and senior Diego Garcia dominated in a 6-0, 6-1 victory.
Morgan Philoxene won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 4 singles, Aaron Newland won 6-1, 6-1 at No. 1 and Dakota Story got the decisive point with a 6-0, 6-2 victory at No. 5.
"Dakota and Morgan have gotten a lot better since the first time we played them," Brown said. "It's just balance. We can win a point on every single court."
Davis Rosenblum followed with a 6-4, 6-1 victory at No. 3 singles and Richard Snyder took the day's longest match 6-3, 6-3 at No. 2.
Garcia, Bluffton's only senior starter, said a region championship in the team's first Class AAAA season would build on the progress it has made the last three years. Bluffton went 8-0 in region at the Class AAA level in 2011 and 2012.
"It definitely says a lot about the team. We've grown together," Garcia said. "I think it's awesome how we got so strong coming into AAAA."

My latest, check it out!
I want to start out this review by engaging you in a visualization technique. I want you to close your eyes, concentrate, and think back to when you were in elementary school. Think back to the days of paper friendship chains, and cornucopias, and when you remembered which President's birthday it was when you got a day of school off. Now, focus, and remember a thing called a "Citizenship Award?" or something with a similar name. Remember what it stood for? Perhaps helping out class mates, doing things without asking, being nice to other people, in some way being a good person, just for the sake of it.
Now open your eyes and be an adult again. When you hear the phrase, do your civic duty, what does that make you think of? I'm guessing you are thinking of voting, or jury duty, and how you dread it. THAT juxtaposition…

Lesson Plans
Economy Act of 1933
US Government, US History, Economics
10-12, College and University History and Political Science courses
H.R. 2820, which became the Economy Act of 1933, intended to reduce the federal deficit by eliminating government agencies, cutting the salaries of federal workers (including members of Congress), and reducing benefits paid to veterans. Historical documents about that bill introduce students to the process by which a Congress member evaluates a bill, decides to vote, and justifies that vote to constituents.
H.R. 2820, which became the Economy Act of 1933, intended to reduce the federal deficit by eliminating government agencies, cutting the salaries of federal workers (including members of Congress), and reducing benefits paid to veterans.
The documents in this lesson are drawn from the papers of Everett McKinley Dirksen, a Republican representing central Illinois in the U.S. House of Representatives. He began the first of his eight terms in the House in March 1933, just as Franklin Roosevelt moved into the White House. H.R. 2820 was introduced just days later, on March 10.
Step 1.
Students will read the first two issues of Congressman Dirksen's newsletter, "The Congressional Front." Select March 18 and March 21 from the table.
Discussion questions: In what ways do the House members that Dirksen describes seem to be diverse? Why does Dirksen say "there has not been a single indication of party politics"? What is Dirksen's opinion about how procedures in the House have operated in the early weeks of the new administration?
Step 2.
Students will use the Internet to understand the "climate of the times" in early 1933 as Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal begins.
Discussion questions: What was the state of the economy? What did Roosevelt promise to do when he took office? What was the partisan composition of Congress? What other bills did Congress pass during the first months of the New Deal?
Step 3.
Students will read the text of "Bill H.R. 2820."
Discussion questions: What are the three titles in this bill, and what is the subject of each? How much authority is given to the president to implement the legislation, authority independent of Congress? Based on the handwritten annotations by Dirksen, what does he find objectionable in the bill?
Activity: Write a press release explaining Congressman Dirksen's stance on H.R. 2820.
Step 4.
Students will read Everett Dirksen's letter to Ralph Warren, March 13, 1933.
Discussion questions: What are the purposes of the letter? How does Dirksen describe the nature of the first New Deal Congress? Why is Roosevelt's promise to withhold patronage a factor in early legislative action? How would you describe Dirksen's opinion of how Congress dealt with the Economy Bill? On what basis does Dirksen promise to make his decisions given all the "advice" he is receiving? Does Dirksen accurately summarize H.R. 2820 beginning on page 3 of the letter? What are three reasons why Dirksen opposes the bill?
Activity: Assume that Mr. Warren opposes Dirksen's stance on the bill and write a reply to Dirksen.
Step 5.
Students will consult the Economy Bill Vote.
Discussion questions: What is the evidence that the publisher of the vote compilation has an opinion about the bill? What was the partisan breakdown in the vote by your state?
Everett Dirksen's letter to Ralph Warren, March 13, 1933
Frank H. Mackaman, The Dirksen Congressional Center
Lesson Plans
A Day in the Life of a Senator
Students read a primary source document written by Senator Everett M. Dirksen entitled "What a United States Senator Does," learn the responsibilities of a senator, create skits depicting a scene in the life of a senator, and evaluate their own potential as future senators.
The Comic Book Campaign: The Illinois U.S. Senate Race, 1950
In the 1950 Senate campaign in Illinois, the incumbent senator, Scott Lucas, a Democrat and the majority leader of the Senate, used a comic book to persuade voters of his qualifications. Students identify the messages the comic book intended to convey, describe the qualities of the candidate the book emphasized, evaluate the effectiveness of the comic book approach in depicting those qualities, and prepare a comic book storyboard for one of today's candidates.
The Economy Act of 1933
H.R. 2820, which became the Economy Act of 1933, intended to reduce the federal deficit by eliminating government agencies, cutting the salaries of federal workers (including members of Congress), and reducing benefits paid to veterans. Historical documents about that bill introduce students to the process by which a Congress member evaluates a bill, decides to vote, and justifies that vote to constituents.
Eulogy and Obituary as Historical Evidence
Students will understand the purposes of a eulogy and an obituary and the differences between them, identify the essential elements of both, determine which is the more authentic historical record, and be able to associate an individual's life with important historical events.
Everett Dirksen Chooses a Sketch
Students will evaluate the elements of political cartooning by examining the decision of Senator Everett M. Dirksen to substitute a drawing for a photograph in the 1967 Pocket Congressional Directory. Students will select an editorial cartoon from The Center's extensive online collection that best depicts the qualities of the senator.
Every Vote Counts
You can't win if you don't play. Election outcomes are determined by those who participate. Students will see the importance of voting and that every vote counts.
Gulf of Tonkin Incident, August 1964
This lesson will introduce students to real-time reporting on the Gulf of Tonkin incident which led to the passage by Congress of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. The resolution gave President Lyndon Johnson the authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be threatened by communist aggression. Students will analyze historical documents using the following strategies: summarizing, contextualizing, inferring, monitoring, and corroborating.
How a Bill Becomes Law: The Case of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Students will understand how Congress makes laws through a case study of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They will be introduced to key concepts associated with the legislative process such as committees, filibuster, cloture, bipartisan, petition, and lobbying. Additionally, they will see how controversial social issues, such as civil rights, greatly affect the process.
How Influential is Your Member of Congress? A WebQuest
Students will learn about the concept of "influence" or "power" in Congress by addressing this question: "What experiences or responsibilities distinguish more influential Congress members from less?"
The Japanese-Americans Reparations Act of 1988
This lesson will introduce students to efforts by Congress to redress injustices to Japanese-Americans and Aleut civilian residents committed during World War II. Students will learn about the circumstances surrounding the relocation of Japanese-Americans in 1942 and compare the reasons for relocation with the justification for reparations in 1988.
Making Congress Work through Leadership
Different leaders in Congress use different leadership styles. Reading leadership statements by four members of Congress, students will understand such concepts as majority and minority roles in legislatures; the nature of deliberation, negotiation, and compromise; the context that shapes legislative leadership; and the work of Congress more generally.
Martin Luther King Holiday
Students will evaluate a report filed by congressional journalist Neil MacNeil on the acrimonious Senate debate about a bill to declare the third Monday in January a legal public holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Minority Representation in Congress, 1937-1938
Students will examine selected demographic features of one of the early New Deal Congresses in order to identify the characteristics of women members of the House and Senate—what qualities and experiences they shared, how they differed. Students may also compare and contrast the female membership in 1937-38 with female membership today.
The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940
This lesson will introduce students to efforts by Congress to establish military conscription, otherwise known as the "draft," in preparation for possible war in 1940. The source documents raise questions about citizenship, military personnel needs, and events leading up to U.S. entry into World War II.
What Makes a Great Campaign Brochure?
Students compare and contrast the campaign brochures of two candidates for the U.S. Senate from Illinois in 1950 in order to (1) determine what elements make for an effective brochure (both content and design); (2) assess the relative effectiveness of the two examples; (3) understand what messages a campaign brochure intends to send; and (4) appreciate the similarities and differences between political campaigns of today and half a century ago.
What Makes a Congressional Leader?
Students will understand the qualities that make for a leader in the U.S. House and Senate.

Looking to buy a racquet for tennis?
Are you on the hunt for a new racquet for tennis? As these seemingly simple objects get more and more complex, so does the price seem to increase! The good news is that it is still possible to get these racquets for a reasonable price online, if you know where to look, and in this blog we are going to show you a few of the best places!
Picking up the right tennis racquet can make a massive amount of difference to your game, and if you can get one for a decent price, then there is simply no reason why you shouldn't invest. The first site we suggest you check out is one straight out of left field, and not one most people would associate with tennis racquets. We suggest pointing your browser towards http://www.amazon.co.uk/ and checking out their range of tennis racquets. This site offers top brands like Wilson racquets, all from a very reasonable price of just £40, so it is well worth checking out.

Smart Card Time & attendance
SCM Microsystems is supplier of solutions that open the Digital World by enabling people to conveniently access digital content and services.
The company develops, markets and sells a broad range of smart card reader technology for a range of markets including network and physical access systems in security for government, financial, enterprise, consumer electronics and photographic equipment markets worldwide.
Consultancy firms need to record hours worked and activity, to ensure that they are paid correctly and in order to bill their clients. The SCM Microsystems, Chipdrive Time Recording software provides an affordable, solution, using either a hand-held clock terminal, or fully networked into the office IT.
Recording time can be a hit and miss affair, particularly in a sector which involves flexible working and in many cases, input from other specialists and part –time employees. The SCM 'Chipdrive' solution uses smartcard technology, to bring clocking-in and clocking-out up to date.
Transactions are recorded simply by inserting the smart cards into the time clock terminal. If required additional information can be recorded by selecting a simple menu identifying the project name and type of activity – travelling, administration or production. Rules for specific employees, and activities with applicable rates, are configured through the management software.
Once data has been captured it is then readily available for all the back office administrative tasks, including audit and analysis. Reports can be created to show how employees are allocating their working time between different activities – a useful benchmarking tool to support time management training. As an employee time and attendance tool, the software includes all the functionality needed to keep track of hours logged, holiday entitlements, absences and overtime.
Accountability is important to all service based businesses. Consultants who can providing accurate and sufficiently detailed reports, will also benefit by reducing the scope for queries and ensure that invoices are settled quickly, thus improving cash flow.
|Fully compatible with existing Microsoft Office applications, the SCM Chipdrive software is easy to install, configure and manage. Information can be shared and if necessary data can be inported from existing excel sheets. Features like coloured printable vacation schedule as well as printable company name on the report completes the new software version.

We love cake
I also love the way that cakes are a treat. I love that they are special; that people celebrate with cakes; that people use cakes (especially cupcakes) as a pick-me-up when they are feeling down; and that turning up at someone's house with a cake makes you especially welcome.
I suppose a lot of this goes towards explaining why I set up a cupcake and sweet treats stall at Dingle's Farmers' Market, where I make cupcakes like this:
As a result, I'm delighted with the current fashion for baking. I've been tuning in to Lorraine Pascale's 'Baking Made Easy' on BBC1 (where she truly does make baking cakes, bread and tarts seem simple). I've tried her lemon cream millefeuilles which were delicious.
So, you can imagine how delighted I was to receive an advance copy of 'Bake and Decorate' by Fiona Cairns in the post. What a perfect cookbook for me!
Like Lorraine's TV show, this book aims to show even the most inexperienced of bakers how to create delicious tasting and wonderful looking cakes. From fruitcakes to chocolate chilli cupcakes, Fiona shares techiques and tricks to make it all seem easy.
I'd never heard of Fiona Cairns before and immediately wanted to know who she was. This is her first cookbook but she is a very experienced baker. Her company produces 750,000 (!) cakes a year for the likes of Waitrose, Liberty, the Ritz Hotel, Harrods, Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason in the UK. She has also been commissioned to make cakes for Bono, Sinéad O'Connor and Paul McCartney. Ooh er!
So, is her cookbook any good? My first impressions are positive and I love the girly cover. I'm also taken by her introduction where she talks about the comfort, pleasure and luxury of baking; how cakes are not essential but are vital for our souls. (She sounds like a woman after my own heart.)
She also brings back some of my first memories in the kitchen; memories of helping my mother bake cakes, hoping I'd get to lick the batter off the wooden spoon. In a family of seven children, this was a hotly-contested treat!
Fiona aims to bring pleasures like this back to our lives. She wants to make baking and decorating cakes as enjoyable as the eating of them and she encourages even the least confident among us to give it a try.
You can start with something simple, like a Victoria sponge or a no-cook chocolate tiffin. Follow the instructions carefully (baking is a precise science) and you'll soon discover that you can do it.
You can then move on to more elaborate creations. There's a range of chocolate cakes (because you simply can't have enough chocolate cake recipes!) including a dark chocolate mousse cake and this wonderful flourless chocolate hazelnut cake:
There are other tempting treats too such as white chocolate and cardamom rosewater sponge, sticky ginger cake with lime buttercream, lemony crunch cake, fruit cakes, pistachio and orange blossom cake and so much more.
There are also cupcakes. I'm eager to try the sticky toffee cupcake with salted caramel buttercream and the mint chocolate cupcakes.
And that's not all. There are also recipes for macaroons, meringues, biscuits and shortbread.
The first half of the book is devoted to baking while the second gives you tips on decorating. This includes everything from how to apply fondant smoothly and how to make crystallised flowers and leaves to how to use gold leaf and lots of ideas for using nuts, flowers, sweets and ribbons.
At several stages in the book, Fiona shares tips and advice. She recommends using golden caster sugar instead of white for flavour (something I always do in my own cupcakes). She says that you should always use ingredients and equipment that is warm or at least at room temperature. And she even gives advice on saving the inevitable disasters.
I've earmarkeed several pages in this book already but first on my list are the sticky toffee and salted caramel cupcakes followed by the chocolate mousse cake. I'll keep you posted on my progress!

As the Palace is based within the geographic confines of New York City, we take it as one of our primary obligations to serve as an ambassador on behalf of the city we love. Yes, of course we have regaled Loyal Readers™ with plenty of sappy posts on this very subject. But as we were toiling around in the Palace library this morning, we realized that our online diplomatic efforts could be nicely supplemented with a concise collection of resources for the actual (or virtual) tourist.
In the process of gathering links I came across a video, which I think serves as a perfect introduction to both the city itself and to the new Palace library collection: Johnny T's NYC Tourist Tips.
Hahaha. Sounds exactly right.

If the ice and blizzards have got you down, try a pair of these gorgeous mukluks (by Mocs) and see if you don't feel any better. The combination of white leather, rabbit fur, and embroidered detailing would make a winter storm feel like an excuse for a long walk outstide. Steer clear of mud!

Pierce The Veil and Sleeping With Sirens World Tour
marielou obdeijn Antwerp , antwerpen , Live , Marielou , Marielou Obdeijn , Pierce The Veil , Sleeping With Sirens , TrixMy thoughts on the best night of my life By Marielou Obdeijn
My first hardcore concert was " Pierce The Veil + Sleeping With Sirens World Tour " on Mar.20, 2015. To be there after having admired both bands for over a year seemed surreal. To finally see, or better meet them in real life was like a dream coming true, and it certainly felt like that.
|Pierce The Veil @ Trix, Antwerp
I had been lucky enough to get my hands on some VIP tickets, which included a meet and greet with both bands. They were really nice, and seemed to enjoy the gifts my friend and I had bought them earlier that day. We got to hug the band members and even got the opportunity to talk to them and learned that Jaime, bassist for Pierce The Veil, had the nickname 'unicorn' in high school.
And then came the show itself. They were amazing, to say the least. If you have never been to a hardcore/metalcore concert you might think it would be too loud, and you'll leave with a headache, right? I know that's what I thought before that night.
But, to my surprise, it was the complete opposite. The bands were just loud enough to make you forget anything but that moment, although not loud enough to make you want to curl up in a ball and cover your ears. They interacted just enough with the crowd, having us jump and start mosh-pits, while screaming the lyrics and encouraging us to do the same.
|Sleeping With Sirens @ Trix, Antwerp
I was standing almost right at the center in front of the stage, and while all the jumping was nice, it could get a bit tiring sometimes, meaning that on more than one occasion I stopped moving and laid my arms on the barricade in front of me for a moment. Vic Fuentes, singer for Pierce The Veil, wouldn't have any of that though. Every time he saw that I was resting, or not jumping, he made a motion with his hand for me to start again, seeming satisfied every time I listened.
And, it wouldn't be an Sleeping With Sirens show without having lead singer Kellin Quinn give a speech about being who you want to be, not harming yourself and not giving a damn about what other people have to say. After which he promptly decided to do a cover of The Fugees "Killing Me Softly". This of course made the crowd go crazy, and if you look hard enough on the internet you might find a clip of Kellin singing it while the crowd is screaming and singing along with him.
Overall, as you might have concluded from how I described the night, it was awesome! I am definitely planning on going the next time one of the bands are playing near me. What about you? Ever seen these bands live? Or got the chance to meet them? Please let me know what you thought of them!

The summer months are starting to fade away, and there is a definite nip in the air as we head towards September, but personally I am thrilled to see the end of the summer sales and brand new collections starting to appear on the rails. I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to this time of year, and walk straight past the messy sale aisle into the new items. And as if this wasn't enough excitement, Belfast FASHIONWEEK is back in town, making it my favourite time of year once again.
It seems no time at all since we were celebrating ten years of FASHIONWEEK at the Ulster Museum for SS14, but it is set to return with more tenth anniversary celebrations, kicking off on October 15, with what could be their busiest schedule to date.
Dressed to the nines, the media, fellow bloggers and fashionistas from around Belfast gathered to find out what was in store for this coming season. Cathy Martin, founder of Belfast FASHIONWEEK took us through the schedule, which begins with a charity screening of Mean Girls in aid of Pretty in Pink, before Excel Clothing, Ireland's largest online fashion retailer, take to the runway on Thursday evening to get the catwalk shows, my favourite part of FASHIONWEEK, off to a flying start.
Friday will see Northern Ireland's local designers and boutiques showing off their newest collections, which include strong colours, tartan and fur among many other top trends, before our favourite high street retailers including Miss Selfridge and George at ASDA bring the runway shows to a close.
This season also celebrates a new move for the Belfast Fashion Week team, with a change in venue to a quirky converted warehouse on Bruce Street, Belfast, which is now Belfast's 'Life' church. With painted chairs stuck to the walls, fairy lights everywhere and quirky detailing from top to toe, this is a brilliant venue for FASHIONWEEK, and I can't wait to see what they do with it for the October shows.
Cathy Martin said: "Our new move allows us the space to welcome a pop up sushi and cocktail bar from the fashionista's favourite eatery Zen, as well as play host to our new 'shop the show' boutique alley where show goers can browse and buy on-trend fashion and accessories from the shows over sushi and sumptuous cocktails, both before and after the runway presentations."
As for the trends, there is something for everyone this season. Some of my favourites, highlighted at the glamorous FASHIONWEEK press launch include:
Embellishment: Clusters of jewels and embellishments on jumpers, dresses and jackets will be incredibly popular this season, bringing a little bit of statement sparkle to your outfit. I love a good piece of statement jewellery, so no doubt will be more than happy to embrace this trend.
Metallics: Just like last season, metallics, sparkle and iridescent fabrics will be incredibly popular for AW14, just in time for the party season.
Bold colours: Bringing some rich colour into the doldrums of winter, bold greens, blues and reds will be a great investment over the next few months. Colour blocking is also a big autumn trend, so I will definitely be mixing and matching these vibrant shades.
Tartan: Making a comeback from AW13, tartan will be massive this season. Look out for trendy tartan shorts, dresses and statement jackets. I loved this trend last season, with my favourite piece being my tartan-trimmed faux leather biker jacket, courtesy of Next, and I hope to add to my collection this time around.
Statement coats: Living in Northern Ireland, a statement coat is a worthy investment. The oversized coat is still massively popular, as is fur which will keep you warm and toasty as temperatures dip. I recently discovered my mum's vintage fur coat hiding in the back of her wardrobe and have managed to convince her to let me "borrow" it, so this is one trend that I'll definitely be sporting this season.
Tickets are already on sale here for Belfast Fashion Week, and with a brand new venue and an incredibly busy schedule, this is not one to miss.

David Galica - CEO/Innovator
Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Replace or put it in a time capsule? Should you Repair or Recycle your Electronics?
Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle, Replace or put it in a time capsule? Should you Repair or Recycle your Electronics?We've all had issues with our electronics. They start glitching, will not start, and cause a level of frustration like the long bathroom line during the World Series. So, what is the best thing to do with your failing personal device? Your first thought shouldn't be to recycle or replace the device, as you will probably end up spending money you don't need to. The best option is almost always to REPAIR the computer, cell phone, stereo, or any other electronic devices you may have. While you may want the latest device, it is still typically less money to repair electronics than to get new ones.
Why fix it?Repairing your devices frequently costs much less. On average, it ends up being around 40% of the cost of the original device. Don't forget how much the new device costs and the time it takes to get it set back up to the way you need it. Make sure you check the warranty on the item too as well—the repair could be free!
A 0 to 2-year-old Dell Inspiron 15 5000 costs $600 new. After a few years, it will likely start to act slow. The reality of this slowdown is not that you need a new device, but that you've probably got software bloating issues, and the system just needs to be optimized in order to bring the speed back up. A system optimization like this normally costs about $50. If the screen on the same device ends up damaged and needs to be replaced, that repair is only $150. Repairing keeps that computer working on all of your day-to-day tasks with the settings that you are accustomed to and spent all of that time configuring. Not only is this keeping it out of the trash, it is keeping it out of recycling, and giving it new life.
Why do everything before recycling?The reality of the situation is that all electronics produced across the globe drain resources. It takes resources to recycle the material from the electronics as well. If we can continue to repair the devices, we can also lower the production of them to reduce many the harmful byproducts of the electronic manufacturing process. For example, the lifetime of an iPhone 6 from production to being recycled generates around 95kg of CO2. This proves that every device has a footprint. But even so, if there is no option to repair, then recycle the device.
Can I fix it myself?Sure. There are plenty of DIY videos on YouTube to educate yourself. However, some can be more complicated than others. If you do not have a good understanding of electricity, data management, and are dexterous, then it may be a better idea to hire a technician.
But I want the best stuff now!Well, if you want to use your broken phone as the excuse to get the new one, that's fine. However, it would be considerate to get the old device fixed in order to sell it or give it to someone who needs it. Keep the electronics in working order and let others that may not be as fortunate as you have something nice. This not only furthers the life of the device, it can provide tools to people, educate others, and it will decrease your carbon footprint.
There are some great resources out there and some good philosophies: such as The Restart Code. https://therestartproject.org/code/
The Restart CodeTogether, we will fix our relationship with electronics and make our devices last longer. We will take back control of the stuff we own and enjoy innovation at our own pace.
Before we buy
• We will pick products designed to last
• We will take seriously the act of bringing another gadget into the world
When we get a new device
• We will enjoy it
• We will protect it
• We will learn the basics of maintenance
When we have a problem
• We will not panic
• We will not think that only "geniuses" can help
• We will check the warranty
• We will get help online or offline
• We will pay a repairer after getting informed
If we solve our problem, we will share!
If we don't
• We will share our frustrations publicly
• Then give the device to somebody who can reuse it
• Or recycle it as a last resort
The best thing for yourself, your wallet, and your environment is to repair. If repair is not an option, then recycle. If recycling, make sure the device goes to a place that is working with people that are R2 or e-Stewards certified so that you know it is going to get recycled properly.
So, now that you know a little more about electronics and the option to repair them, what will you repair first?

Maintaining our tradition, the last walk for the year for the Cartophiles Bushwalking Club was the iconic Spit Bridge to Manly walk, following the Manly Scenic Walkway. This beautiful and varied 9km track is consistently rated as one of Australia's top ten walks.
The weather was overcast but mild, almost perfect for a strenuous walk. Luckily, we weren't feeling too strenuous. Ten Cartophiles met at Ellery's Punt Reserve for the walk: Tige, Glenn, David, Janet, Paul, Annie, James, Tim, Sue and Kit.
The walk was, as always, beautiful. It starts at the north end of the Spit Bridge and follows the waters edge to Clontarf Reserve and beach before ascending steadily to the aboriginal rock carvings at Grotto Point. From there it climbs to the top of Dobroyd
Head, with great views over Port Jackson, The Heads and Manly, before dropping steeply down rocky steps to Reef and Forty Baskets beaches. It then follows the water around North Harbour and past Fairlight to Manly wharf.
Our time was spiced by two adventures. Firstly, we met two runners coming the other way who had found a set of car keys. Sue exchanged mobile phone numbers with Nick (!) and proceeded to ask every group we passed if they had lost some keys. One fretful-looking man said yes, and after a series of phone calls with Nick to establish a rendezvous (!) the man hugged Sue and hurried off with his two daughters.
Editor's note: Careful readers may have identified a hint of jealous suspicion in the phrasing of the last paragraph. The writer has been carefully counselled with a broom handle and wishes to make it clear that any implication of impropriety is entirely accidental.
The second adventure was a bit more dramatic. As we crossed Forty Baskets Beach we noticed one of the boats at its mooring was down at the stern. While making light hearted comments about it we realised that is was getting even lower in the water! We rang 000 to let the police know that there was a boat sinking at its moorings. It took some time to establish with the operator that we were at
Forty Baskets Breach, not Number 40, Baskets Beach Rd, and by the time we left all that was visible above the waves was the blue tarpaulin canopy. We hope they were able to refloat her before New Years Eve.
Other than these tiny adventures we had no medical frights, no injuries, no annoying insects and very little need for long rest stops. We weren't rained on, we suffered no heat stroke, no one was sunburnt, no items were lost and no equipment damaged. It was, in fact, a nearly perfect outing.
Of course, we didn't walk hard. We had a short break while we ordered coffee at Clontarf Reserve, then a casual stroll up the beach. Although we were disappointed to find that Mr Whippy was missing from the car park at Dobroyd Head we did finish by walking up The Corso to our traditional debrief at the Hotel Steyne. It was a great end to another successful year for the Cartophiles, and we look forward to an even better 2015.

South Africa Fashion staged 8th – 10th April 2011 exists to promote local South African brands and designers which in turn allows for easier integration into the retail market as well as moving onto the International fashion stage by instilling professionalism with in the South Africa designer hub
If their mission statement is anything to go by "the Business of Fashion" Than the South African fashion industry could see a boom.
I feel their marketing overseas could have been a lot stronger as I must admit that I did find it hard to even find the official website for the show, or any official runway photos. (By the way if you're interested its www.safashionweek.co.za) . Their blog for was not reflective of what was currently happening on the days and surprisingly no mention of the up and coming show, current photos or designers. Maybe they might have some lessons to learn from sites such as London Fashion week, which is like a feast for any fashionista and the ARISE Fashion week for example, who take the multimedia approach to keep global watchers up to date with news via affiliate blogs, newspaper and twitter, (unless I've been hiding under a rock than my opinion won't count). But I hope that next year they will take a much more of an enhanched social media approach to the event. All in all I believe that the designers and production team done a Stella job.

Fishermen's IslandBy Skip and Penny Williams
Fishermen's Island contains encounters of level 3-8 and is suitable for use with any D&D campaign.
The island, remote but located a mere stone's throw from a bustling settlement, is famous for its fishing and infamous for the clouds of insects swarming over its marshy shores. An unlikely band of squatters has gathered on the island in recent months. Are these simple fishermen, or do they have a darker purpose?
Background for the DM
Fishermen's Island has long been a local landmark. The shoals and banks around its shores make the place a hazard for ships but provide excellent breeding and hunting grounds for many kinds of fish. Fisherfolk from all over the area visit the place, at least from time to time, to improve their catches. The island is very small, and its swampy terrain has discouraged settlement until recently.
A short time ago, an eclectic group of squatters established a foothold on the island. Most of the group consists of lizardfolk, but the mix also includes a few seagoing halflings, some salty humans, and a handful of other humanoids. The squatters have done their best to fit in with the locals. They fish mostly with hooks and lines (and a few small nets). They eke out a living selling their modest catches in the local markets. Though not particularly outgoing or friendly, they have offered invaluable assistance to the local fishing fleet. They readily share information about where fish can be found, give warnings about shifts in the weather, and have performed at least one daring rescue when a fishing boat got into trouble.
Unbeknownst to everyone living near the island (and even to most of the squatters living on the island), a greenspawn sneak (see Monster Manual IV) named Kroodrax is behind the colony here. The extremely agile and quick-witted Kroodrax takes his mission to serve his deity, Tiamat, very seriously indeed. He longed to become a powerful leader in greenspawn sneak society but lacked any true potential for divine magic, which is an essential requirement for attaining authority among his kind. Instead, Kroodrax showed an aptitude for working undercover. His flair for stealth and disguise allowed him to pass unnoticed among humanoids and spy on them. Kroodrax's superiors understand his desires and his assets, and they have directed him to set up a long-term spying operation where he can keep tabs on commerce, politics, and military activity in his area. Kroodrax wasn't given any other greenspawn sneaks to command, but he was allowed to recruit assistants. In this way, Kroodrax's superiors hoped to make the best use of his skills while also satisfying his urge to command others.
Kroodrax eagerly undertook his mission. He chose Fishermen's Island as an ideal base of operations because it offers both security and excellent cover. He recruited a band of lizardfolk for protection and set to work. He has been spying energetically, and he also has performed a few robberies and assassinations. In his spare time, he fishes (to maintain his cover) and indoctrinates his servants in the joys of serving Tiamat (to satisfy his own urge to venerate his queen). Much of the time, Kroodrax poses as Kurian Troutspearer, a tallfellow halfling, with the help of his Disguise skill. He has also posed as a young lizardfolk, a merfolk youth, and a locathah youth. Although he's at the heart of the activities on the island, he tries to stay out of the public eye as much as possible.
Kroodrax's activities have attracted several genuine fishermen to the island -- a fact that serves to strengthen his cover. Only Kroodrax's inner circle is part of the small cult of Tiamat he has created.
Thus far, Kroodrax's plans are working very well. He doesn't know it, but they're beginning to work too well. Many of the island's new residents are starting to appreciate the value of commerce and the value of an honest day's work. Unless Kroodrax weeds out these "malcontents" soon, he risks discovery and exposure.
The Setup
Fishermen's Island is located about one day's sail from a port town or city -- close enough to allow some contact between the island and the larger settlement, but far enough away to discourage casual visits. The location presented here is in a sheltered estuary (where a major river meets the sea), but the place could just as easily be located in a major river or on a big lake.
Despite its fairly remote location, the island is a hotbed of activity, and player characters might be inclined to visit for a variety of reasons:
Visiting the Island (EL 3-8)
The island covers about fifteen acres. Of that, about a third is beach and mudflats and the remainder is equally divided between marshes infested with insects and rocky outcrops wreathed in scraggly trees.
The island's lizardfolk live in crude huts set on stilts over the marsh. The stilts keep the huts from flooding during storms or high tides. The other residents have built shacks and lean-tos in the rocky areas.
The following text shows how the island might look when viewed from the water at the height of the fishing season.
Broad shallows dotted with several tiny islets surround a low island. Wide, muddy beaches slope gently from the surf and run inland for perhaps a bowshot before giving way to fields of marsh grass. A few rocky outcroppings cloaked with small trees rise here and there from the marsh.
An assortment of disreputable-looking fishing boats lies on the beach, and grass huts on stilts sit above the marsh just inland from the beach. The breeze carries the scents of woodsmoke and drying fish.
If the PCs encounter Kroodrax while he is out in his boat, he pretends to be a simple fisherman of whatever race he is using for his disguise that day. He stays reasonably close to the shoreline, within hailing distance.
A rather tall halfling dressed in trousers cut off at the knee and a loose shirt hauls a net bursting with fish up into a small fishing boat. "Good mornin' t'ye, masters," he says, wiping his brow with a dirty cloth. "Th' sea 'as been good to us this mornin'," he says, bending to unclasp the net and starting to sort through the wriggling, silvery mass. He tosses the smallest fish back into the sea and sorts the larger ones into large buckets. "Would ye care to buy some fish fer yer breakfast? Th' snapper is fine today. Or maybe a nice catfish? Or ye could go over to th' island an' talk to ol' Gerphat. I bet he has a nice lobster or two in his traps."
The halfling holds up a wriggling fish. "People don't understand fish," he says conversationally. "They think they're cold an' ugly an' dumb. But look at that," he says, running a finger along the fish's topfin. "Those fine scales, shining in the sun like a hoard o' silver. Fish're almost as beautiful an' graceful as dragons -- though not as smart. Have ye ever seen a dragon, wingin' its way through the clouds, the sun glintin' off its scales? Sharks o' th' skies, I've heard 'em called. I haven't never seen one -- but I hear tell adventurers see 'em all th' time. Ah, must be quite th' life. Me, I'm happy enough just livin' 'ere an' singin' to my fish.
"That's th' best way to catch 'em, y'know," he continues with a grin. "Ye sit an' sing to 'em -- sing about heroes an' fools, an' dragons an' knights, an' b'fore y'know it, they're a-swimmin' into yer nets jus' so's they kin hear more. Cause when yer a fish, ye don't have much chance fer adventure, an' they crave it as much as anybody," he says with a wink.
Kroodrax continues to regale the PCs with strange fish tales and odd advice in hopes of figuring out their business here. He offers to show them around the island or direct them to where they need to go if they tell him what they seek.
There isn't much to see on the island beyond what's described above. Kroodrax and his servants have excavated a chamber under one of the rocky outcrops (one where nobody has built a house). This has filled with brackish water. Kroodrax claims the chamber is for storing live fish for bait or later sale in town. The islanders do store fish here, but only Kroodrax and his allies know that a tunnel leading out of the basin leads to a deeper chamber where Kroodrax has set up a shrine to Tiamat. The shrine chamber is underground but above the waterline. Kroodrax keeps the loot from his forays in the shrine, and he has accumulated a level 5 treasure (no magic items) in there.
Creatures: The island's inhabitants vary over time, but Kroodrax and his six lizardfolk servants are permanent residents, along with an additional dozen lizardfolk of various ages and a dozen commoners of various races. At least three of Kroodrax's lizardfolk are on the island at any given time to keep an eye on things. Kroodrax might also have other servants or guards, as suggested below.
Lizardfolk (3-6): hp 11 each; MM 169.
Tactics: Each lizardfolk keeps a pair of clubs and three javelins at hand. In a battle, they prefer to close in and gang up on a single foe, attacking with their clubs and teeth. If the tide of battle turns against them, they withdraw to the shrine for their final stand, tossing their javelins and clubs to discourage pursuit.
Monitor Lizards (1-2): hp 22 each; MM 275.
Tactics: The lizards move toward the closest foes and attack. If their opponents withdraw, the lizards most likely stay behind to consume the fallen, friend and foe alike.
Scrags (1-2): hp 63 each; MM 247.
Tactics: Kroodrax recruited these creatures to guard the shrine. They aren't likely to emerge from their lair except at night or when Kroodrax orders them forth, but they attack any stranger who enters the place. When fighting in the water, they love to swim past the foe's front rank and attack a vulnerable foe.

He prefers to ambush foes, and if player characters come looking for him, he is likely to allow his lizardfolk to greet the interlopers while hiding nearby, awaiting a chance to attack with surprise. Once a battle begins, Kroodrax uses his Tumble skill, or a potion of invisibility if necessary, to get into position for more sneak attacks. Although a proficient swimmer, Kroodrax dislikes fighting in the water and will do so only if he must to keep vital allies, such as the scrags, in the fray.

text: This is going to be a short post because if you haven't already done the math based on my last few posts, we welcomed our sweet little baby girl into our arms on August 19th at 2:03 AM and she's currently napping soundly against my chest in a kangaroo T-shirt (something I didn't even know existed!). So before she starts raising a ruckus with her punchy little hands demanding to be fed, I thought I'd let the blogosphere know that Jamie and I started a new chapter in our lives. Parenthood. We are still in awe that we created this little being and little she is! Weighing only a mere 4 lbs 12 oz (2160 g) at birth, she was classified as IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction). I have lots I want to share but the little peanut is stirring and before she gets angry, I best get off my sore bottom and get her some food.

"If you have nothing to hide, why do you worry?", is a device often used by the authorities and companies that wants to have better surveillance of the community or the company. This is also what they indirect say in the article Snooping Bosses by Time, 3 Sept 2006. In some conditions I agree, when it is about the safety for the masses, but where should we draw the line when it is too much? Who should draw that line?
The government many thinks, because they are democratically elected. That might be true, and that's why we have the FRA-law in Sweden. A law that tracks everything on the internet and saves it "to be able to find criminals". Treated correctly I'm sure it will work good, but who can assure that?
If we starts to look at the country the reportage is about, the USA. That is a so called democratic country which since the constitution was signed worked for equal rights and freedom of speech. Very nice and utopian thoughts, especially if you think of the great Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence who fought for the freedom of the slaves, or? He had slaves himself! The Northern government were afraid that the South would separate and then they would loose much money and power. The question about slaves was just a part of the problem, which made it easier to get the farmers fight for them.
The freedom to have you own opinion never really occurred in the US. One hundred years later J Edgar Hoover got scared by Stalin and the Communism and started his secret COINTELPRO, to prevent people having an own opinion about freedom. A lot of workers were imprisoned after telephone surveillance and slipping your tongue saying a few non Capitalistic words.
The control of the masses by fear worked pretty well, but the US was not satisfied. They wanted a better and bigger experiment for their economically suppression of the workers, in the words of the Noble price winner Milton Friedman (1976), you would say The Miracle of Chile. He didn't act, himself but his students, the so-called Chicago boys. After some cooperation from CIA the military coup d'État in Chile 9/11 1973 was a truth. Once again control of the masses with the help of fear and communication surveillance helped the dictator and his Chicago Boys to make the economic experience, but that story is about something else. Even today they have passport controls while driving through the long country for "safety". Everything is about controlling and keeping the power.
Almost thirty years later, 9/11 2001 the world entered another surveillance-era when president Bush started his war on terrorism by ordering other countries to follow his rules. To be able to have direct flights to the US they had to follow strict orders of how to control the travelers, in the name of safety. A lot of those rules are silly and annoying for the travelers, because if a real terrorist wants to do something he will easy find other ways to scare the great Nation of Freedom, like in Tom Clancy's The teeth of the Tiger.
Even the economical laws he implemented, forcing foreign countries banks to send facts about transaction to CIA, are horrible. Yes, I agree that the WTC attacks was terrible, but that does not give another country the right to interfere like that in the rest of the world, to try to control the people in other countries too.
After this long historical encounter of the Country of Freedom, to show what happens when a country uses the fear to justify more and harder controls of the masses, I shall come to a conclusion. Some kinds of control is good, not everyone are kindhearted, but where shall we draw the line? Shall we have a group of politicians and religious leaders discussing what values are good for the masses, and then implement it on us? I don't think so, because maybe I am not a believer of those religions and why should I then have to obey them?
The best is to look at the freedom of the people, not like they do in the US and look at the freedom of the companies. Sweden, with its FRA-law is not perfect, but it is way better than a country that tries to build in fear in the inhabitants to be able to make them to a new kind of slaves for the government and the companies. Where is the freedom then? We in Sweden are not allowed to let it be as bad as it is in The US.

Quebec City CMA: Monthly changes in employment data
Click to enlarge
Labour market in March
Click to enlarge
The region counted 438,700 jobs in the second quarter, a decrease of 8,700 compared to the first three months of 2017. Despite a slow spring, the region maintained positive results compared to last year. For the period spanning from January to June, Québec City recorded a gain of 9,700 jobs compared to the first six months of 2016.
Since the beginning of the year, the need for workers in the services sector has been increasing in the region. Going from a gentle descent last year, the sectors of professional, scientific and technical services, finance and insurance as well as transportation are proving to be the most dynamic. Their contribution is high, since they include more than 26% of jobs related to services. They also make up for the dull experienced at the beginning of the year for trade and accomodation and food services. As for the construction sector, the start of new major residential and non-residential jobsites is starting to show positive results. However, the manufacturing industry must deal with the uncertainty around whether or not the United States will be willing to renegociate the trade agreement, and with the scarcity of skilled workers in certain fields. This situation could explain the downturn in the employment sector.
While the Québec City CMA is showing a slow second quarter regarding employment, this downturn is not consistent across all sectors. Moreover, the need for workers is still real, as reflected by the low unemployment rate of 4.4%, which is still among the lowest in Canada. For these reasons, the confidence in the labour market remains positive in Québec City. The area must also keep working to get the diversity of job openings known in order to attract new job seekers, a capital factor to growing the active population.

A tuk-tuk coffee cart stolen by three thieves who shunted it through the streets with their car has been found stripped of its appliances and defaced with explicit graffiti.
Entrepreneur Emily Herriott, 31, launched an online appeal after her cart, nicknamed Fred, was stolen last week.
Today she said it had been discovered near flats on an estate in east London, stripped of its electrics, coffee machines and gas works, painted black and daubed with graffiti.
She said: "I'm very sad to say that Fred did not get his fairytale ending… he was found looking quite different… it's now with the police and the insurance company.
"I'm going to take some time to think and digest my next steps whilst the insurers get back to me." The cart was imported from India two years ago and fitted out by Ms Herriott for her business, We Are Here Coffee, catering for commuters at Leyton Tube station.
CCTV footage showed the gang breaking into the three-wheeled vehicle in Leslie Road, Leyton, on Tuesday last week.
The three are then seen haplessly battling to push or drive it away before eventually deciding to nose it along the road with their silver Renault hatchback.
They were caught on another camera ten minutes later - having managed to travel less than half a mile.
The Met said that there had been no arrests. Officers in Waltham Forest are investigating.

Calm, quiet, solace, and comfort.
Sometimes my day can get so chaotic with my work deadlines, crazy family and friends, that I forget to do simple things for myslef.
I try now to do one little thing for myself every day. Just so I can feel one moment of complete solice for myself. It can be anything from taking a relaxing bath, reading a few pages of my book, or a cup of tea.
Here is my interpretation of an Afternoon Tea: Silent Solace
The Spoon:
The spoon symbolizes a lot of happy things to me. I like it's round friendly shape, the tiny detailed carved artwork that I could stare at for hours, spoons full of sugar and that moment of stirring my tea while it cools down, and I can see the steam swirling above it. This is my direct "happy" mood trigger. :)
The Scene:
This image captures my view of the little stage I have set for myself as I sit down at my table. My tea almost cool enough to drink, a bounty of biscuits, and my Gran's white linen tea towel. The lighting feels quiet, and calm. I find comfort in the tea, biscuits, spoon and tea towel. This moment is my solace.
Too Many Biscuits:
I can be quite greedy when it comes to anything sweet, so I always land up eating too much cake, chocolate or biscuits. Thus my Afternoon Tea moment would not be complete without my bounty of biscuits which brings me utter joy, content and happness.
But, to be honest only after I had eaten the biscuits and was editing this picture I realized that it would have looked better to shoot this image with a few bites taken out of the biscuits, and crumbs around the plate. Then it would look more like being in the act of physically enjoying the moment. This was a good lesson for me to learn. I remember you saying in your video how we should try and make the photo look like it is capturing people/us interacting with the set up instead of it looking like a still life, so that it tells a story.
I would appreciate any more feedback you could give me on my images. I am just starting out and I love cooking, styling and photographing my own little stories. I found your lessons so imformative and helpful.
You are truly such an inspiration to me.
I wish I could have made the competition deadline, but I was away with my family on holiday, and did not have access to the internet.
Have a lovely day and I look forward to hearing from you!
Kind Regards,
