Cold Day To Ride
November 7, 2010 Leave a comment
The day began cold. At the time I hopped on my bike to go meet Ed it was 33 degrees (F). I am certain that I have never ridden in colder weather. Why was I doing this now?
Actually the why part is easy. That was the day Ed was available, I like riding with Ed and Ed did one of those "are you a man" things to me. How could I resist?
It was really freakin' cold. Other than the fahrenheit it was a beautiful autumn day. Sunny sky and hardly any wind. Except that the act of riding creates wind. It felt cold.
I reminded myself that there was a time when I would run in temps as low as 20 F as long as the wind was not too strong and it was not snowing at the time. Then I remembered that I was 25 years younger in those days.
Ok. How to dress. Leave as little uncovered skin as possible. Since the legs would be moving focus on keeping warm from the waist up.
Five layers from waist to neck. Light "wicking" long sleeve shirt as a base. Covered by a heavier base layer, a biking shirt (not much for heat but in honor of the event), a hooded sweatshirt (don't use the hood but this helps provide next coverage, and a windbreaker. Running tights and bike shorts. Left the nylon windbreaking pants at home. Turned out to be the right call but only barely. Heavy pair of bike socks, full finger bike gloves, head covering that looks like a large yarmulke but also covers my ears under the helmet.
Not sure at the start if this is enough but it was time to go. I bike 9 miles to where I meet Ed and I did not want him standing around in the cold. Initially I am chilled but it is manageable. By the 45 minutes it takes to meet Ed most of me is tolerably comfortable. The index fingers in both hands are truly cold. Can't seem to warm them up. I wish I had mittens instead of gloves.
11 miles later we are in Lake Forest at our turning around point. Normally I do not like to take long breaks during rides but I insist on heading to Starbucks. By now my entire right hand feels like an ice-cube. It hurts.
A round of hot tea for all — all being Ed and me. There are other bikers in the place. Lake Forest is a wealthy north suburb of Chicago surrounded by other wealthy suburbs. I could not afford a house in that town. Maybe 1/3 of a house. The point being that while Ed and I have a hodgepodge of clothes on, these other bikers have hi-tech winter riding gear. From the fancy jackets to outsized riding shoes, (probably with electric, computer controlled warming devices inside — just a guess) they look ready for any weather.
As we warm up I suppress the urge to scream as my right hand thaws. The pain is intense. But the warm of the room and the tea does its magic. I am ready for the 20 miles back home. As a pleasant surprise, the temp has risen by several degrees and the cold is not a problem for the remainder of the ride. The fact that I am out of shape and my leg muscles ache is another story for another post.
Of course, as I pen this post the next day, it has been a beautiful day with a high of sixty. Much better riding weather. But not as good of a story.

Home defence organisation streamlining, number of women and children rises ({{contentCtrl.commentsTotal}})
The number of members of the Estonian volunteer defence organization Kaitseliit (Defence League) and affiliated organisations exceeded the 26,000 mark as at the end of the first half of 2018, spokespersons for the volunteer body said.
Dein-Tom Tõnsing, Kaitseliit spokesperson, said that as at 30 June the figure which belonged to Kaitseliit and its sister organisations, Naiskodukaitse, the women's defence league, and the two youth organisations, Kodutütred (for girls) and Noored Kotkad ('young eagles', for boys), was up from 25,968 at the end of 2017, an increase of just over 200 people (see figs below).
However, most of the increase has come from Naiskodukaitse, Noored Kotkad and Kodutütred; in fact Kaitseliit itself has let the side down somewhat with a fall in total. This comes in the same year that nearly 1,700 individuals summoned for the large-scale military exercise Siil ("Hedgehog") failed to report for duty (these were regular soldiers, not from Kaitseliit ).
Men's organisation more complex in its makeup
However, it would be prudent to hesitate before apportioning opprobrium along gender or age group lines. As Dein-Tom Tõnsing explains, most of those who have quit the core Käitseliit body were not regular members. Kaitseliit mens' has four levels of membership: active, supporting, honorary and junior. Naturally the first of these groups would be most key in the event of a general mobilisation.
"Certainly this [fall in Kaitseliit numbers] has not brought with it a reduction in the activeness of Kaitseliit active members. The situation is in fact the opposite," he said, according to the Baltic News Service.
Mr. Tõnsing went on to state that Kaitseliit regions have paid increased attention of late to putting their member lists in order. As a result, some formerly 'active' members have changed their status to 'supporting', and people whose age or health condition no longer allows them to take part in Kaitseliit activities have been excluded from the lists, as have obviously those whose names were on the lists but had in fact passed away.
"Joining Kaitseliit continues to be a popular move," Mr. Tõnsing went on. "A more in-depth review of the lists has enabled us to better plan our endeavours and employ every Kaitseliit member in accordance with their abilities and expectations, as well as the resources of Kaitseliit," he said.
The review of the lists nationally yielded the following statistics:
|Number of Members
|Change since year end
|Kaitseliit (men's)
|Naiskodukaitse (women's)
|Noored Kotkad (boys')
|Kodutütrad (girls')
|>+200 *
*Note that the total increase is obscured by the fact that the mens' component of Kaitseliit , being divided into categories as it is, saw people switching from one category to the other, particularly from 'active' to 'supporting', meaning that many of the leavers were counted within their category as having left, but didn't actually leave the whole organisation, in addition to issue of those whose status was unclear, or could not be contacted, or had passed away. In any case Kaitseliit claims an increase of over 200 members to mid-2018.

Hello Fresh is something that I had seen around for a long time through adverts and social media but until recently I had not encountered anybody in person that actually used them.
There are people on social media, including one of my favourite lifestyle/beauty YouTubers, that get sponsored to cook Hello Fresh on their channel every couple of weeks but whilst they are usually very honest with their reviews it is still a little hard to tell if it is really authentic (is anything authentic any more).
Other people on my social media use similar boxes by other companies and sing their praises based on price, quality, portions and delivery and that did increase my interest in wanting to try one of the boxes out but some let you choose the meals without access to the ingredients list and others seem to lack a real active community of people sharing their thoughts and experiences and that made me a little nervous.
On discussing it with one of my friends that uses Hello Fresh I decided it was time to give it a go, especially after he made us some super tasty burgers for a late lunch on a day when I was feeling super sorry for myself. Downloading the app I discovered a backlog of recipes I could access, things that I could search for specifically as well as them putting videos up for suggestions about what to do to liven up breakfast or an office lunch. The community feel that hello Fresh presents and is visible based on numbers of reviews on the app and the number of comments on social media was one of the things I was really looking for.
It is something that I am looking forward to trying out when the box arrives at my front door as the way the ingredients are divided and the recipes are presented just looks so warm and inviting. Given I am currently trying to ease the pressure of things on my mind to be able to focus on other life things and also just to avoid depression resulting in me not being able to figure out what to purchase and what to cook (because that results in unhealthy food and yet more weight gain) it will hopefully make me feel a little bit more like I have everything together.
For some people this certainly would not work because it only gives you meals for five days of the week but as we go to quite a few meetings or like to socialise with friends at points during a week it works out well for us not having too much food in the house but also because it still allows for a little creativity and space for my partner to whip something from his mind up.
My first box is expected to arrive on Sunday with the recipe and ingredients to make five dishes including a creamy fish curry, a chicken dish with a butternut squash and mozzarella jumble and also a sweet chilli beef noodle bowl and I absolutely cannot wait to get stuck into it and get back into the kitchen. Just thinking about the box arriving has me excited to do some cooking and that is a feeling I have been missing for a little while.
If you have tried Hello Fresh I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Referred to as the Γαλανόλευκη (galanolefki) or Κυανόλευκη (kyanolefki), the national flag of Greece consists of a white cross on a blue background in the upper left corner of the banner, with nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. The cross represents Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the official religion of the Greek nation and Cyprus. The flag always follows a proportion of 2:3. Officially, there is no appointed shade of blue, though many flags tend to feature dark or royal blue.
Traditionally, the belief is that the nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase 'Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος' ('Eleftheria I Thanatos', which means Freedom or Death), though some say they are meant to symbolise the nine letters of the Greek word 'freedom' (ελευθερία or eleftheria). Another theory states that the nine stripes represent the nine Muses of Greek mythology, but this hasn't been verified. However, there seems to be a consensus on the chosen colours, which are supposed to symbolise the colours of the sky and the sea – two things important to the Greek economy and culture.
Although the origin of the Greek flag is still a matter of debate, the important fact to remember is that it was officially adopted by Greece on December 22, 1978. In fact, during the Ottoman occupation and the first few years of the Greek War of Independence (1821–1829), many flags were used by different people, with several featuring mottoes, emblems and even saints.
But in an effort to rally the nation under one central administration, the Greeks chose the version of the flag that we know today, which dates back to 1822, a year after the new state declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1821.
The official Greek Flag Day takes place on October 27th.
You can still sometimes see the old land flag (a central white cross on a blue field) at the Old Parliament building in Athens, which now houses the National Historical Museum.
Around 1900, Iceland was forced to change its non-official flag, which was widely used by Icelandic republicans, because it was thought to be too similar to the former Greek one.

It's easier to stay true to your work out regimen when you're held accountable by a friend. It's even easier when you know there's a reward at the end. At least, that's the tale of Michelob Ultra's Super Bowl spot—a sweaty ode to the fitness community where the post-work out treat is always a Michelob Ultra.
The Anheuser-Busch brand has released a 60-second extended version of the spot, which uses Cheers' iconic theme song, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name," to help sell the community-focused ad. A 30-second cut of the ad, titled "Our Bar," from creative shop FCB in Chicago will run during the third quarter of the Big Game. Indie director Derek Cianfrance, known for heartbreaking work like Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines, directed the spot—his first Super Bowl ad.
According to the brand, the spot features "no actors to demonstrate Michelob Ultra's commitment to supporting and celebrating authentic fitness communities."
"We recognized that the social lives and beer-drinking occasions of the Michelob Ultra consumer extend beyond gathering at the bar or at home with friends," said Azania Andrews, vice president of Michelob Ultra, in a statement. "Communities forming around fitness activities represent a new type of socializing. 'Our Bar' emphasizes that beer is a part of this new world, grounded in celebrating accomplishments."
This week, as part of its Super Bowl campaign, the brand held a pull-up contest in Boston and Atlanta, giving fans of the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons a chance to win a VIP trip to Houston for the Super Bowl. To win, fans had to do as many pull ups as the could in 95 seconds since Michelob Ultra contains 95 calories. Ron Cooper and Danielle Resha won the competition in Boston, while Wilson J. Washington III and Emily Bridgers took home the prize in Atlanta.

Dear Friends
As I write this I am beginning to wonder whether or not we shall have a summer at all! Hopefully by the time you read this we will be enjoying the sunshine of long June days. Whatever the weather may be we shall of course be approaching the longest day, which, depending on your temperament is something to rejoice in or a marker that the countdown to winter has already begun. I remember in a previous parish being greeted by an old farmer, each mid-summer with the words "Well Vicar, t'longest day. Soon be winter."
The seasons of course progress whatever the weather bringing both times of celebration and times of remembrances, good and bad. During the interval between Ascension Day and Pentecost Sunday, at our daily offices Sister Judith and I 'join in' with our sister community in South sea to pray and contemplate a "Novena for Ascensiontide;" a series of nine readings, reflections and prayers for the nine days between these two great festivals. This year's theme has been the gifts of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control – Galatians 5, 22-23), and each day we have been presented with a question to ponder related to each of the fruits. For example:
Joy – Do I experience the joy of life or is my happiness dependent on things going smoothly in my day? Peace – Do I find myself frazzled by the crashing waves of turmoil in my life? Patience – Am I easily set off when things go wrong or people irritate me?
What has struck me most is the fact that although the fruits of the Spirit are God given blessings the fact is that we need to cultivate some new thought patterns and habits if we are going to be able to enjoy them to the full. Just like my farmer, do we concentrate on the negative at the expense of enjoying the positive? So as we approach the longest day at mid-summer let us see it as a time of rejoicing; not the superficial happiness that comes and goes but the deep down joy that is the gift of the Spirit. God's love an anchor in the storms of life that unlike the weather and the seasons remains constant and true and a firm foundation to rest upon.
The fruits of the Spirit, just like the fruits on the trees that are beginning to ripen during June days, need care and attention, new habits of mind that begin with the knowledge of the goodness of God and spill over to change the world.
With every blessing

RURAL communities could benefit from government plans to freeze fuel duty until 2015 – provided it can find the money to do so.
Chancellor George Osborne made the pledge at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester on Monday (30 September).
"Provided we can find the savings to pay for it, I want to freeze fuel duty for the rest of this Parliament," he told conference delegates.
Lib Dem MP Tim Farron, who has previously written to the Chancellor and lobbied the Prime Minister on the issue, welcomed the pledge.
But the MP for Cumbria's South Lakes said he would also continue to call for a 5p cut in duty through a rural fuel derogation scheme.
Mr Farron said he wanted to make sure Cumbria is involved in any future scheme.
In August, the government launched a consultation on a fuel derogation area for Cumbria, which is similar to an rural discount initiative already used in the Scottish islands.
The plan is designed to prevent rural drivers paying a premium for fuel.
Mr Farron said: "For the last three years I have fought to try and cut fuel prices for people in Cumbria. In rural areas like ours, a car is not a luxury, it is a necessity of life.
He added: "Fuel costs are a major issue for families and I am pushing hard to try and make the government act.
"The government have made some welcome moves and this is another – but freezes are not enough, we need a cut. I'll keep pushing to make this happen."

Beautiful Textures is one of the latest Natural Hair Products. I had the pleasure of using the Shampoo & Conditioner on my hair along with the Curl Control Pudding for my Flat Twist Outs. Although I rinsed out the "leave-in" conditioner, my hair was noticeable soft while wet and easy to comb through. My husband said I smelled like a "walking air freshener" as well! (LOL). I have mixed hair so I went light with the Curl Pudding and added water to even the product out (for my hair type). I LOVED the results. Check out the demo video along with photos!

We all felt that familiar twinge in our hearts when we received the recent update that Glen Campbell's health had deteriorated even further. The country music icon is in the late stages of Alzheimer's, but the family has handled his decline quietly and gracefully, allowing the singer-songwriter his dignity.
RELATED: Glen Campbell's family updates fans on the country legend's declining health
Their difficult reality was delivered a precious gift, though, when the National Guitar Museum recently honored Glen with their annual Lifetime Achievement Award. Glen's wife, Kim, accepted on his behalf.
According to the organization's website, Kim said, "Glen's dream as a young man was to be a jazz guitarist like his hero, Django Reinhardt. His years working with The Wrecking Crew developed him into one of the most versatile guitarists of all time instead."
She also said that his playing "inspired countless guitarists and will continue to do so as new generations discover his contributions to the canon of popular music."
RELATED: Watch Blake Shelton and Keith Urban pour their hearts out in this Glen Campbell tribute
Keith Urban has often mentioned the influence Glen had on his career. And he, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley and Toby Keith even performed a medley of Glen's hits at last year's ACM Honors.
But in 2009, a couple of years before Glen was diagnosed with the debilitating disease, he joined the Aussie onstage at Keith's Las Vegas tour stop. From the stage, Glen told the story of meeting Keith for the first time when the latter was just a young man. He even remembered the advice he offered his protege: "Practice. And learn your trade."
Now that's good advice for anyone.

Last Wednesday Dr. Katharina Hauck's webinar session, chaired by Imperial Business School's James Barlow, kicked off our new "Decision Making Under Uncertainty" webinar series with a presentation entitled "Modelling Uncertainty".
Katharina presented one possible solution to the problem of managing the unknown with a layperson's introduction to Extreme Bounds Analysis. Extreme Bounds Analysis is a method of model averaging helpful in sifting through a range of factors to uncover the most influential ones, based on past data.
She used as an example a study that advised policy makers at the World Health Organisation (WHO) on the best investments in population health in low-income countries. Through this study Katharina showed how automated tools, which make it feasible to replace a single model with a million variants, can help manage uncertainty and risk, in near real time, and yet still remain accessible to decision-makers from a wide range of backgrounds.
The presentation was followed by a Q&A.
You can find an abridged video of the webinar (presentation only) here and you can find a PDF version of the presentation here.
Attached is a glossary of key terms and the session's Q&A transcript to keep you well informed.
The next IBP webinar will take place in December and an Eventbrite will be circulated for registration closer to the time. If, however, there is a particular topic you would like to hear more on or academics you would like to hear from please don't hesitate to get in touch by replying to this e-mail or e-mailing email@example.com.

|A quick note on training Red Nose Pitbulls. If you want an American Pit Bull Terrier's focus and concentration to increase, try high intensity training (H.I.T.). This work out is not for Pit Bull puppies. Red nose Pit Bull puppies should wait until about 1 year of age before a hard core APBT work out. However for adult dogs it is a methodology for maximizing the athletic effects of time put into working out your red nose Pit Bull. The APBT training program was developed by Bob Fritz (founder of Peak Performance Products for sale). The American Pit Bull Terrier H.I.T. work out develops an enhanced ability to clear the lactic acids. For a OFRN Pit Bull, or any Pit Bull Dogs, this is great for the body. A hard work out on the APBT stud dogs also helps to stimulate and reach explosive fast twitch muscle fibers. This is why some Red Nose Pitbulls are able to burn fat and accelerate metabolism so easy. Only work out your APBT on this program 2 to 3 times a week.

Brendon Ayanbadejo believes Chris Kluwe is "100% right" in claiming his views led to him losing his job in the NFL. Kluwe, the punter for the Minnesota Vikings from 2005 through 2012, claimed he was cut by the team in May 2013 over his support of same-sex marriage in an explosive first-person article published by Deadspin on Thursday.
Hours after Kluwe's allegations sent shockwaves through the NFL, TMZ caught up with Ayanbadejo, another former NFL player who has been an outspoken advocate for marriage equality. The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker who last played during the 2012 season offered his full support to Kluwe and backed his allegations against the Vikings.
"He's 100% right and I've been saying it all along from the start," Ayanbadejo told TMZ. "You're talking about a guy who was the first or second in every punting category in terms of performance in Minnesota Vikings history."
In the scathing piece titled "I Was An NFL Player Until I Was Fired By Two Cowards And A Bigot," Kluwe not only alleged he was fired for his support of same-sex marriage but also accused Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer of making anti-gay comments during team meetings. In separate statements released on Thursday, the Vikings and Priefer denied Kluwe's claims.
Ayanbadejo's comments to TMZ came after he noted on Twitter that he and Scott Fujita, another former NFL player who has publicly advocated for LGBT rights, retired by choice while Kluwe did not.

Catalog UI policy conditions based on Date field are not working in Service Portal.
Steps to Reproduce
1. create a new Date field (not Date/Time) on the Incident form
2. Create a UI Policy on Incident:
condition: datefield [relative] [before] [7] [days] [ago]
script to run if true: alert("date too soon");
On load: checked
UI Type (for scripts): All
3. go to /sp?id=form&t=incident&sys_id=-1
In Chrome, the alert doesn't fire on form load (as expected, since there's no value)
In Firefox, the alert shows on load (wrong)
If you add an "and" condition to the UI Policy saying datefield [is not empty], the alert *still* shows on form load in Firefox, so there isn't a practical workaround.
Unchecking "On load" makes this stop happening, of course, but that's not practical for some UI Policies that need to run on form load.
This problem has been fixed. If you are able to upgrade, review the Fixed In or Intended Fix Version fields to determine whether any versions have a planned or permanent fix.

Rapper 'The Game' Launches Sexist Attack On Tomi Lahren. Tomi Hits Back.
On Wednesday, rapper "The Game," whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, launched one of the most vile, sexist attacks on a female conservative figure to date. Lahren, however, was sure to hit back.
In an Instagram post, Taylor posted side-by-side photos of Lahren — one from when she was just 16 years old and the other one a recent headshot — with a caption accusing the media figure of undergoing "nine" plastic surgery procedures and sleeping with men to obtain her platform.
The vicious sexist nature of the attack cannot be overemphasized: Taylor disparaged Lahren's looks and called the 26-year-old a "semen c****er," a "b****," a "s***," and a "w****," among other vile names.
"[L]isten here semen c****er, as long as you have that forehead & that baby giraffe wee wee of a nose, you'll never win !!! You're a racist s*** who s***ed & s******** her way into her job & position only to misuse your platform & degrade the very culture you you praised so much before your mediocre rise to media fame," he wrote.
The rapper continued, accusing Lahren of being a "racist," calling her a "b****" and telling her to "shut the f*** up."
"[Y]ou can never UN-S****** all the d***s you s***ed on the way up," he wrote. "Oh' & keep your mouth closed, I can smell the unborn babies from here," he added.se to the rapper via Instagram, and later in a video for Fox News' Fox Nation.
"This is for you," she started an Instagram post, using the same side-by-side photo of her that Taylor used. "On the left is an unflattering high school photo of me. On the right is me now. Same big forehead, same ears that kinda stick out, same eyebrows, same Tomi. The difference? Tomi today has the guts and the confidence to post that high school photo you mocked."
The commentator continued, "Because guess what, I don't do what I do for your approval or praise. I do it for the millions of young girls (on both sides of the political spectrum) who deserve to see a woman like me stand up for herself and not take s*** from jerks like you."
Lahren made it point to address other women, telling them their beauty is not defined by their appearance, but by their confidence.
"And ladies," she said, "I hope you see this and know that beauty isn't about your hair, makeup, eyebrows, weight, or any of it. Beauty radiates when you have the confidence to stand up for and love yourself regardless of who tries to pull you down."
"So yeah Game, you can make fun of me and demean me but end of the day, you're just a classless rapper who degrades women for attention. I win. Game over," she concluded, adding the hashtags: "#TeamTomi#stillconfident #neverplaydead"
In a video for Fox Nation, Lahren made it clear that she will not be silenced, but noted how such inhumane sexist attacks deter other young girls from wanting to speak their minds in public. (Partial transcript via Fox News)
"The things he said about me were perhaps the ugliest and most repulsive things I have ever read," started the media personality. "And I've read A LOT of nasty things about myself."
"I have thick skin, really thick skin, but I am still a human being. I am someone's daughter, someone's granddaughter, someone's girlfriend, and a person," she said. "You don't have to like me. You can even call me ugly, dumb, or a whole dictionary full of horrible things, but the collection of things that have been said or directed at me from The Game and friends, is not okay. And it's not just that it's not okay to say those things to me...It's not okay period."
"Look, I don't worry about me," she continued. I signed up for this. I think about all the young ladies who follow me and read this stuff and see this stuff."
"I know girls see this stuff and think, I will never speak out like Tomi does and I will never be confident in my opinions because look what happens when you are — you get treated like less than a human," she added.
"I don't back down and I don't stoop to their level because that's not how I was raised. I may make political points that offend people and I'll own that, but I would never even think half of the things that are said about me and to me. I wouldn't wish that kind of language on my worst enemy," Lahren said.
"It'd be easy to cower in the corner but playing dead has never really been my style. God bless and take care," she concluded.

As if we aren't fat enough, robots are planning to play a far greater role in our lives, becoming a $5 billion industry in just five years.
They're going to pick up after us, carry our groceries, stock your fridge, clean, entertain and they will be programmable so they may become the business end of the next iPhone store, with 10,000 apps all coaxing our bots to do what we want most.
Interesting article on the ethics and morality of something that, like military drones and bots, have no regulations circumscribing their behaviour — or the behaviour of those operating them.

Artist's Residency - A Question of Degree
Climate Change in Coastal Communities
Siamsa Tíre, home to The National Folk Theatre of Ireland, is seeking proposals from visual artists to undertake a residency in its theatre building in Tralee from the 1st of July to the 20th of September 2019. As part of the residency, the selected artist will be invited to respond creatively to the following theme: A Question of Degree: Climate Change in Coastal Communities.
Over the last number of years, Siamsa Tíre has been working to reduce its environmental impact, in particular, its carbon footprint. Climate Change will have a potentially very significant impact on towns like Tralee if sea levels rise as much as is predicted, and on organisations like Siamsa Tíre which is situated in an area at risk from future flooding.
As a cultural institution, and as part of our Greening Siamsa initiative, we want to support artists who creatively address the culture shift which will be necessary in order to adequately confront Climate Change. Full details on the residency can be obtained here...

A Smile Is Like?
Like bread without the spreading' Like a pudding without sauce.
Like a mattress without bedding, Like a cart without a horse,
Like a house without a dooryard, Like a fence without a stile,
Oh, the saddest sight that ever was--is a face without a smile.
The face of man was built for smiles, and thereby he is blest
above the critters of the field, The birds and all the rest;
He's just a little lower--Than the angels in the skies,and the
reason is that he can smile; Therein his glory lies.

"We see it as our responsibility to work with integrity, transparency and honesty. Our journey is not finite. It will continue on as an ever - changing quest for improvement and reduced impact."
Our Commitment to Transparency
This report details how we operate as a fashion business and highlights our ethical and environmental journey. It looks at our internal operations, our people and the culture that makes ELK a unique Australian brand. It serves as a public statement around our commitment to running a business with transparency, honesty and integrity.
From our founders
In 2014, after visiting one of our suppliers, we started to question the depth of our consciousness. They ran a simple operation with generally good intentions but there were so many things that did not sit well with us. Despite time working with them and challenging them on things such as waste management, material and chemical use amongst other things, they would not and could not see the need for change.
So we moved on and started to rethink about the relationship we have with our entire supply chain and delve into how they run their businesses from tier one to tier four.
We are not following a trend - we are on this journey as much because we want to be, as because we have to be. We are part of a greater movement that will create change. Through demand and awareness we are making waves, shifting conventions and spreading the word that the way we make our products and the way we consume has to change.
We thank you for joining us on our journey, for helping to create the demand that will initiate change, for questioning and sharing and most importantly for caring.
Our Commitment to Transparency
2018/19 highlights
We introduced the first certified organic Fairtrade cotton garments into our Summer 2018 range. Organic cotton is an increasingly used fibre in our collections. We have signed the Responsible Sourcing Network Cotton Pledges, to not knowingly source cotton from Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan due to known human rights issues in these supply chains.
We signed on as members of Sedex & CanopyStyle. Sedex is one of the world's largest collaborative platforms to report on supply chain information. The CanopyStyle initiative is a key commitment to sourcing our man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCFs) responsibly and ensuring our supply chain is free of ancient and endangered forest fibres in line with our Forest Fabrics Policy.
We are incredibly proud that, along with our generous customers, we have raised more than $200,000 for UNICEF since 2011, as a Platinum Champion for Children. We have also partnered with Guide Dogs Australia, Sleepbus and Boomerang Bags amongst many others.
We have eliminated plastic wrap from our business and replaced it with paper-based options. We have avoided using 15000+ mailing satchels per year with redesigned online order cartons and Better Packaging Co compostable corn starch satchels. Our poly bag consumption has been reduced around 70% per garment by roll packing.
Living wage
By defining what we consider to be a living wage and publishing our tier 1 supplier list, we have taken the first credible steps towards ensuring a living wage is paid.
Reducing our carbon footprint
We have measured our 2018 carbon footprint and have 100% offset the 303 tCO2e by purchasing carbon credits. In addition, the LED lighting upgrade for our bulk warehouse is expected to save 19 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
Our ethical & environmental mission
To create products responsibly that are good for people and our planet. To support traditional trades and a circular economy whilst ensuring the creation of safe, fair and inclusive work. To operate ethically and transparently, minimise our environmental footprint and promote positive social practices.
Our Vision
2025 Goals
ELK will operate with the smallest environmental footprint possible, and become a carbon neutral and zero-waste business.
All ELK products will be made with recycled or certified sustainable materials, with full supply chain traceability and total consideration for reducing production waste and end-of-use impacts.
ELK will continue to give back to local and global communities and create positive change by increasing our support of not-for-profit organisations and local community groups.
All ELK suppliers will have credible social and environmental certifications, be fully compliant with the ELK Supplier Code of Conduct and operate ethically and transparently.
Material Matters
The greatest environmental impact of our business comes from our products: the way we design; the materials we choose; the methods we use for production; how we care for them; and then what we are left with.
With a commitment to reduce our footprint, a key focus is on improving products though our material selection. The challenge is to lessen our environmental impact while maintaining quality, wearability and appearance at a price point that is accessible.
Find out more about our Animal Welfare and Chemical policies in our full report from page 72 here.
* This makes up 93% of our material consumption. This figure is based on unit purchases, product weight and composition. Where data was not available, we have used averages to calculate as accurately as possible.
Circular Design
The principals of circular design aims to close the loop on traditional linear fashion production models ensuring responsible environmental practices from design right through to next use. Our approach is to create quality products, timeless designs, to repair when needed, re-home, upcycle and finally recycle.
A Global Family
Supply Chain
We are committed to mapping our supply chain and to tracing our fibres and materials right back to their origin, ensuring that our products are made responsibly, with regard for workers, animals and the environment.
We have an incredible relationship with all of our suppliers and are actively seeking out new suppliers that share our values. We have also commenced conversations with some new, inspiring factories and look forward to seeing their products hit the market in 2019/20.
Each one of our suppliers is at a different stage of their sustainability journey, with some just beginning the process and a handful at the other end showing real innovation and leadership. We have an extensive supplier code of conduct which all of our core suppliers have signed. For any areas of non-compliance, our approach is to work with our suppliers on improving their processes, rather than just exiting, as this provides the best outcome for workers and the environment.
We want to share the stories of our makers and their positive practices, as well as the areas we are working to improve.
Learn more about our suppliers from page 104 in our full report here.
Supplier code of conduct
All suppliers that provide ELK with product must agree to and sign our Supplier Code of Conduct and undergo periodic, independent social compliance audits to ensure our standards are being met. This is based on the principles outlined in the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code.
Learn more from page 100 in our full report here.
Key requirements include:
Our Mission
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015. They represent an urgent call to action and provide a blueprint for ending poverty, improving health and education, addressing inequality, sustainable economic growth, tackling climate change and preserving our oceans and forests. Achieving the SDGs requires action from everyone, including governments, business, civil society and individuals.
We recognise the contribution that ELK and more significantly the entire fashion industry can make towards achieving these goals. We must move quickly for these goals to be met by 2030. We have aligned our strategy to ensure we are supporting these collective goals.
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Ensure access to water and sanitation for all
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all
Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss
Giving Back
As part of our philosophy to ensure our business has a positive social impact, we have partnered with some inspirational local and international organisations. The charities we work with support women, children, families, communities and the environment.

Our Carbon Footprint
Everything we do and everything we make leaves an environmental footprint. It impacts communities, people and the natural world. We are committed to reducing this footprint and through setting targets and measuring our progress, we will be accountable. We are offsetting our emissions through the Carbon Reduction Institute. It is not a short term plan, this is forever. We are redesigning a fashion business for the future.
Learn more about our suppliers from page 74 in our full report here.
From our Ethics & Sustainability Coordinator
The evidence is clear. The fashion industry in its current format is not sustainable. Textile production significantly contributes to climate change, consumes large volumes of water, and creates pollution with devastating impacts on local ecosystems and communities.
Clothes are worn very few times on average, before they end up landfill. The industry employs hundreds of millions of people around the globe, but many do this work in unsafe environments for low wages with little or no protection or representation.
"Business as usual is not an option if we want to address these significant social and environmental challenges. And we need to act quickly."- Erika Martin
At ELK we are focusing on our biggest impacts and implementing initiatives where we have the greatest ability to make change and this requires a redesign of our entire business, and new ways of thinking.
Our People
As a family owned and operated business with a team of 86. There is a great respect for all persons who work within and for the business. People are at the heart of every decision.
We are proud to have a strong representation of female employees through every level of our company. We are a flexible workplace, with over 30% of permanent staff working part-time providing flexibility to care for family, undertake volunteer work, to pursue studies, creative passions and other interests.
Better Packaging
Packaging plays an important role in protecting our product during transport and reducing product waste through damage. We recognise it has a major impact on our environment.
We are working hard to minimise this impact by reducing and reusing packaging where possible, and increasing and investing in using materials that are renewable, recycled, recyclable, compostable and sustainably certified.
We have already made some great changes and our focus is to continue removing plastic packaging from our entire supply chain.

U.S. Border Patrol agents saved a drowning migrant teen who was crossing the Rio Grande River on Tuesday, according to a press release from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The 13-year-old boy and his family, who are from Honduras, were crossing the river that draws the border between Texas and Mexico.
"Words cannot express my gratitude nor convey the sense of pride I have for these agents," Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Raul L. Ortiz said in a prepared statement. "Without a doubt, their quick life-saving actions brought this young man back from the brink of death."

Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing, has enabled transformative change in industries such as aerospace and automotive. From prototyping to final production, polymers and metal powders can create seemingly impossible shapes. However, the technology is yet to reach mainstream adoption in oil and gas.
Our additive manufacturing event will open the discussion on applications and potential benefit for the oil and gas industry.
Could we produce critical spares on demand, recreating obsolete and out of stock parts for aged infrastructures? Could it change logistics by 3D printing on-site, therefore reducing time to deliver and stock levels? Could it even be used to repair damaged equipment by applying remanufacturing techniques?
Our expert speakers will address these questions and many more:
- Hoda Amel, Advanced Research Engineer Additive Manufacturing, The Manufacturing Technology Centre
- Utkarsha Ankalkhope, Senior Research Engineer in Additive Manufacturing, The Manufacturing Technology Centre
- Tom White, Innovation Owner, Marine & Offshore, Lloyd's Register
The event is collaboration with the Manufacturing Technology Centre, part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, which is at the forefront of technology innovation in additive manufacturing.

RICHMOND, Va. — The Richmond brewery wave officially has spilled into the city's Northside.
Tabol Brewing opened during the weekend at 704 Dawn St. near Battery Park.
Founders Nic Caudle and Travis Dise purchased the 8,000-square-foot building for $287,500 in October 2017 and began converting it into a brewery. The building had been vacant and previously home to Research Glass, a glass fabrication shop.
Tabol brews mostly barrel-aged beers made with wild yeast. Caudle said they don't have a designated flagship beer, but they do use a base "house beer" that'll be aged in barrels to make a variety of beers.
"That's one of the quirks with the woods. It's not the traditional stainless steel where you pretty much know what you're getting every time," Caudle said. "With this, you can kind of help guide (the beer), but you have to roll with it."
Tabol is debuting with six beers, including a stock ale, a tart ale brewed with cranberries, a dark ale and a porter.
"I like the stock ale. It's a bigger wild ale with different flavors you might not expect," Dise said.

As we move in to the New Year, preparation seems to be the theme. Therefore, over the next two issues, I hope to prepare you for the Termite Swarm/Season that occurs each year; what you can do now, what you can look for, and how you can properly protect your property to minimize costly repairs. And yes, termites are active right now. They may be swarming, but they are eating…hopefully not your home.
The annual termite swarm, of the Eastern Subterranean Termite, occurs when the temperature and humidity/moisture levels reach the optimum level, triggering the "internal clock" of the termite that it's time to find a mate and start building a new colony. You cannot stop the swarm! You can only protect your property from allowing the termites to establish their "new home" within yours.
The swarm generally occurs during the daytime, typically during the morning of the day following a warm rain. Additionally, several swarms can occur during the season, but for some reason there tends to be one really big swarm followed by one to three smaller swarms. Furthermore, this event begins in the southern areas and gradually moves north, as the soil temperatures and moisture levels reach the optimum level. For these reasons, in Montgomery County, we normally begin to see the swarm from middle to late April. On the day of the "big event", should you find yourself outside, it will appear as though it's "snowing".
Termite swarmers are terrible at flying. They do not have the strength to fight the wind or really even determine the direction they would like to go. So, the wind direction that day will define their next home. Will it be the wooded lot across the street/next door or your fence line or your flowerbed next to your house? Chances are that since several colonies of termites will be swarming at the same time, they will be landing in ALL of these areas.
Don't panic (yet)! A large percentage of these swarmers will not survive. The birds will be having a buffet. The fire ants consider these guys as caviar. Spider webs will capture enough food for a few weeks. And, they will just die on the hot pavement/concrete, not to mention our windshields and front bumpers. However, the swarmers that do survive will immediately hit the ground and start their own version of "The Bachelor"…mini series version…find a partner and find a "home" in the soil to begin their new colony.
A colony of termites is comprised of 3 castes members: worker, soldier, and reproductive (primary and secondary) and each member has a defined purpose. The colony may consist of 60,000 to over a million workers. FYI…60,000 worker termites can eat 1/5 ounce or 5 grams of wood each day. At this rate, a colony could consume 2 1/3 linear feet of a 2X4 board in 1 year. The worker termite is the damage maker. The soldier termite is the protector of the colony and the reproductive termite is constantly creating and nurturing new termites.
Now that you know when they swarm and a little about the termite, what can you do to protect your property? As I have mentioned for years, mechanical alterations are a requirement for total pest management. Specific mechanical alterations that need to be completed are as follows:
- The foundation line (the point where the top of the slab meets the first layer of brick mortar) should be exposed a minimum of two inches. This requires lowering the soil/mulch next to the home; keeping the ground cover 6-12' from the foundation; removing the vines being allowed to grow on the wall; relocating the storage building from adjoining the structure; relocating the wood pile generally found by the back door; and, not building the wood decks and pool surfaces at door level.
- Repair any water leaks from pipes and AC drip lines next to the structure.
- Keep shrub limbs from contacting the home. We would suggest that a two foot gap be maintained between the "mature" plant and the home. Therefore, when planning your landscaping you should know the size of the plant at maturity.
- Trim tree limbs back 5-8 feet from the structure.
- Repair leaking gutters and clean them out.
Great Cary….now that I have all this work to complete, will this keep the termites away from my property? No. But it will assist in minimizing their opportunity to your home and allow you or your pest control company the ability to better inspect and hopefully minimize the amount of time the termite has access to your walls….not to mention the multitude of other insects. So you ask, "how do I protect my largest investment?' Answer….There has to be a chemical/product deterrent between the termite and the structure.
Next month I will explain the treatment options. Should you desire an evaluation and estimate to protect your property prior to the swarm, please give us a call. The expense associated with treating is considerably less than the cost associated with repairs and treatment.
Until next time, if you're tired of "swatin, stompin and throwin" things (at bugs)…give us a call…we'll Chase'em away …to your neighbors. We are a full service pest control company providing general pest, termite, rodent and misting system services to homes and offices in Montgomery County. If we can assist you with any insect related issue, please give us a call or email me at email@example.com.

- /buf"euh loh'/, n.a port in W New York, on Lake Erie. 357,870.
* * *City (pop., 2000: 292,648), western New York, U.S. Located at the northeastern point of Lake Erie on the Niagara River, it is the terminus of the New York State Barge Canal.Settled by American Indians in 1780, the site was laid out as a town at the beginning of the 19th century. It was a military post in the War of 1812 and was burned by the British. Rebuilt in 1814–15, it became the western terminus of the Erie Canal, which brought an economic boom to the community. A major port on the St. Lawrence Seaway and the main U.S. gateway to Ontario's Toronto-Hamilton industrial region, it processes much of U.S.-Canadian trade. It is also an educational and medical research centre.
* * *Introductioncity and port, seat (1821) of Erie county, western New York, U.S. It is located where the eastern end of Lake Erie (Erie, Lake) narrows into the Niagara River. New York's second largest city, it is the metropolis of a large urban complex that includes the cities of Lackawanna, Lockport, Niagara Falls, and Tonawanda–North Tonawanda, as well as the towns (townships) of Amherst, Cheektowaga, Hamburg, Lancaster, and West Seneca. Lake Erie (Erie, Lake) strongly affects Buffalo's climate, moderating summer and winter temperatures and contributing much of the moisture that produces the city's renowned heavy winter snowfalls. Area city, 53 square miles (137 square km). Pop. (1990) city, 328,175; Buffalo–Niagara Falls MSA, 1,189,340; (2000) city, 292,648; Buffalo–Niagara Falls MSA, 1,170,111.HistoryBuffalo's site, at the natural junction of east-west transportation routes from the Hudson (Hudson River)-Mohawk (Mohawk River) river valleys to the Great Lakes basin, was visited by early French trappers and Jesuit missionaries. It was there on the banks of the Niagara River that the explorer René-Robert Cavelier, sieur (lord) de La Salle (La Salle, René-Robert Cavelier, sieur (lord) de), built his ship the Griffon in 1679. A French trading post under Chabert Joncaire was established in 1758 but was abandoned the following year after it was burned by the British. Seneca Indians under British protection settled the area in 1780. The town was laid out in 1803–04 by Joseph Ellicott of the Holland Land Company. Named New Amsterdam (but popularly called Buffalo), it had a population of about 1,500 at the time of the War of 1812 (1812, War of) and became the American military headquarters for operations on the Niagara Frontier. It was again burned by the British in 1813 but was rebuilt and incorporated as the village of Buffalo in 1816. The origin of the place-name is in dispute, as buffalo (bison) did not inhabit the area; it may reflect a mispronunciation of the French beau fleuve ("beautiful river"), in reference to the local Buffalo Creek.The first steamboat on the upper Great Lakes, Walk-on-the-Water, was built at Buffalo in 1818. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 brought a tremendous economic boom to the community, attracting immigrants and boosting its population to some 10,000 at the time of its incorporation as a city in 1832. Trade with the expanding West grew rapidly during the American Civil War period. Railroads, attracted by existing markets and trade routes, converged on the city. Shipyards, iron and steel mills, meat-packing plants, flour mills, and railroad car industries developed. The harnessing of Niagara waterpower in the 1890s further stimulated the growth of highly diversified industry.Buffalo was the home of two U.S. presidents: Millard Fillmore (Fillmore, Millard) and Grover Cleveland (Cleveland, Grover), who was elected mayor in 1881. President William McKinley (McKinley, William) was assassinated in the city while visiting the Pan-American Exposition (1901). The Ansley Wilcox Mansion, where Theodore Roosevelt (Roosevelt, Theodore) took the oath of office following the assassination, was dedicated a national historic site in 1966. Niagara Square, dominated by the McKinley Monument and site of the City Hall (1932) and federal buildings, is the focus of the city.The contemporary cityThe chief manufactures include auto parts, chemicals, plastics, medical supplies, machine tools, pharmaceuticals, and wood products. However, services (notably those related to trade and government employment) constitute the largest share of the city's economy. Buffalo is a major port of the St. Lawrence Seaway (Saint Lawrence River and Seaway); it is the terminus of the New York State Canal System and is a major rail centre and highway crossroads. As the main U.S. gateway to the Toronto-Hamilton industrial region of Ontario, it processes a large percentage of trade between the United States and Canada. The international Peace Bridge to Fort Erie, Ontario, was opened in 1927 as a memorial to 100 years of peaceful relations between the United States and Canada.The State University of New York (New York, State University of (SUNY)) at Buffalo (University at Buffalo) was founded in 1846, and the State University College at Buffalo (Buffalo State College) originated in 1867. Colleges in the city and suburbs include Canisius (Canisius College) (1870), Medaille (1875; chartered 1937), D'Youville (1908), Erie Community (1946), Daemen (1947), Trocaire (1958), and Villa Maria (1960). Buffalo is also an established centre for medical research. Cultural institutions include the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, the Buffalo Museum of Science, Kleinhans Music Hall (home of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra), Shea's Performing Arts Center (in a renovated theatre built in 1926), and Studio Arena (a professional theatre founded in 1965).Ralph Wilson Stadium is the home of the Buffalo Bills (professional American gridiron football team), and the HSBC Arena houses the Sabres professional ice hockey team. Buffalo is the gateway to the region's numerous recreational areas and tourist attractions. Most notable are the Niagara Falls on the Niagara River, some 20 miles (32 km) northwest of downtown. Several state parks and ski areas are near the city, including Fort Niagara State Park at the mouth of the Niagara River.city, seat (1881) of Johnson county, north-central Wyoming, U.S., on Clear Creek, immediately east of the Bighorn Mountains and Bighorn National Forest. The region was prime hunting ground for Sioux, Arapaho, and Cheyenne Indians, and many armed conflicts ensued as settlers moved into the area. Forts were established to protect miners and other white travelers on the Bozeman Trail; these were abandoned in 1868, but white settlement was not far in the future. Founded in 1879 on a buffalo trail that forded the creek, the community that became Buffalo soon saw considerable conflict between farmers and cattlemen, and the site of the final battle in the Johnson County Cattle War (1892) is 13 miles (21 km) south at the TA Ranch.Buffalo is a shipping point for livestock and lumber, with grain and sugar beet cultivation and oil wells in the vicinity. It also serves as a tourist centre for the Bighorn Mountains region. The sites of Fort Phil Kearny and the Fetterman Massacre (1886), in which 80 U.S. soldiers were trapped and killed by Sioux Indians, are a few miles northwest. Lake De Smet is 7 miles (11 km) north.
