The British SWP advocates a vote to leave in the forthcoming European Union (EU) referendum with ever-increasing incoherence. Alex Callinicos' article, "The internationalist case against the European Union" in the latest International Socialism journal (IS 148, 5 October 2015) attempts to give their stance some theoretical weight. In fact the position is neither internationalist, nor a rational case.
Callinicos leaves the arguments about migrants right to the end of his article. He writes: "The left Yes argument is sometimes supported by a rhetorical appeal: how can we justify voting No to migrants here in Britain?" How indeed? He replies: "This seems rather patronising since it treats migrants as victims and not conscious political subjects. SWP members encounter migrants as part of our general political activity. They know us as principled anti-racists and anti-fascists who systematically targeted UKIP in the last general election."
This simply ignores the substantial issues at stake. In the event of a "leave" vote, what will happen to the 2.6 million EU-born people who live in the UK, many of whom moved to the UK in the last decade? This is concrete question of solidarity. In the event of Brexit, after a campaign led and dominated by the nationalist right in British politics, there will almost certainly be pressure to restrict, limit and even expel migrant workers whatever their origin and the targeting by racists of EU-migrants in particular. Callinicos' argument simply evades the likely consequences of a "leave" vote in current circumstances. It will be scant consolation to migrant workers to find SWP members alongside them, having just spent the previous year providing a left cover for Brexit.
Callinicos begins his article by contrasting the anti-EU camp dominated by the chauvinist and racist right and the pro-EU camp dominated by neoliberalism. This choice, he jokes, quoting Oscar Wilde on foxhunting, is the "the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable".
This might imply at least a discussion of the abstentionist position. But Callinicos prefers to ignore it and then to simply misrepresent the socialist "remain" camp. The SWP's argument appears to boil down to the politics of nay-saying. The logic seems to be: the EU is proto-imperialist. If Britain leaves it will precipitate a crisis in the EU and in the UK itself. This weakening of states will somehow make it easier for workers to fight austerity and ultimately to fight for socialism.
This is the politics of negativism: anything that weakens the powers-that-be somehow automatically improves the balance of forces for workers. This "logic" makes no sense. It does not take working class interests as its point of departure. It does not weigh up the actual alternatives in the referendum, or the likely outcomes of staying or leaving for workers. It is no guide to orientate the labour movement in Britain or in the rest of Europe. Callinicos never evaluates the most likely immediate circumstances if the UK left the EU now, or weighs up the cost and benefits for workers in Britain and across Europe of such an outcome. Callinicos instead hides behind faulty doctrine in order to avoid talking about the substantial issues at stake for workers. Callinicos starts with an outright lie, stating that "the underlying assumption of those on the left supporting a Yes vote is that the EU represents, however imperfectly, the transcendence of nationalism and so internationalists and anti-racists should vote for Britain to remain in the EU… [Left advocates of 'remain' understand] the EU as fundamentally a progressive response to economic globalisation and the decline of the nation-state."
He cites John Palmer, the former European editor of the Guardian and Toni Negri, the autonomist thinker – as if they represent all leftwing "yes" votes. Callinicos accepts the argument that capital has become more "Europeanised" in recent decades. He admits that capitalist concentration and centralisation have continued a pace and that the EU has been an active agent in integrating national economies across Europe. This is not merely about responding to globalisation – the process long preceded the current neoliberal phase. It is about the Marxist laws of capitalist political economy continuing to work themselves out. The conglomeration of capital and the interpenetration of European capitalist states, expressed institutionally by the growth of the EU, are accomplished facts. It is indisputable that this arrangement is pro-capitalist and works to further develop capitalism – the EU is and remains a "bosses club". It is indisputably progressive for capital, which has profited enormously across Europe from these developments. In what sense is it progressive for workers? It is progressive in the sense that capital has forged production and distribution connections between workers across Europe. The unintended consequences of the EU is to create ties, partial and incomplete, which tie the fate of workers across Europe together.
These underline the interdependent nature of European working class struggle. Capitalists and their states have made links across Europe – the task of labour movements across Europe is to make stronger ties of solidarity if we are to win victories against these enemies. Does this imply a belief that nationalism and the nation state is in decline? It does not. Capital and its states have integrated only to a limited degree. Economies and markets remain largely nationally based. Capitalist states – especially governments from the larger states of Germany, France and Britain – dictate what happens in the EU. The fight for democracy across Europe is about making more light and air for the labour movement to function. It runs in parallel with demands to level up social and economic rights across the EU. Callinicos simply lacks a programme of consistent democracy to offer in this context.
The reality of the EU and the motive forces that brought it into being, far from implying Brexit, actually points towards fighting on the pan-EU terrain and forging ever-closer ties of solidarity between workers across Europe. That is the strategic direction of travel that best represents the interest of workers, both in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. Callinicos makes a rather odd strategic argument in this context. He writes: "Strategically the problem is that since the 1980s, but more especially as a result of the eurozone crisis, a Europe-wide neoliberal regime is being constructed. Breaking that is most likely to happen at national level. To make successful resistance dependent on a coordinated movement at the EU level is to postpone that resistance indefinitely. The process of uneven and combined development implies that struggles are most likely to succeed at national level but can then be generalised. Dialectically, then, for internationalism to advance there have to be breakthroughs at the national level."
No one on the revolutionary left argues that first a coordinated pan-European labour movement has to be built. No one argues for waiting for better conditions without fighting to bring those conditions into being. Class struggles will take place on a range of scales: some local, others regional and sub-national, while others may well take a pan-Europe character. The task of the left is not to wait for the ideal scale, but to take up all battles against austerity and neoliberalism, whatever terrain they start on, and connect workers' interests across Europe and beyond. Uneven and combined development actually points towards the perspective of "stay in the EU and fight". Trotsky recognised a century ago that the capitalism had outgrown the boundaries of national economies. He also recognised that wherever the first breakthrough of workers' power took place, including but not exclusively in Russia, the fate of a workers' government was bound up with further breakthroughs across Europe. This was the crucial element of permanent revolution that Trotsky juxtaposed firstly to those who did not believe workers in Russia should take power and later against those Stalinists who believed socialism in one country was possible. Callinicos ends up as a rather stale defender of "national"socialism. He appears to prioritise battles in individual states – especially those in Britain – above the real necessity of international solidarity. He elevates the class struggle in British conditions above its impact on ties with other European workers. As such, his methodology is nationalist, whatever his intentions.
Callinicos also argues that the experience of Greece shows Brexit is the right way to vote in the UK referendum. He states emotively that the EU is "a neoliberal club currently busy nailing the people of Greece to the cross of austerity". Of course the EU is complicit in beating down the Syriza government and imposing further austerity on the Greek people. But to put all the blame on the EU is to misunderstand the real relation of forces. In the Guardian (22 October 2015), Ian Traynor reconstructs the events of June-July 2015 to expose the actual drivers, highlighting the role of the German finance ministry and Wolfgang Schäuble, its finance minister. Schäuble had decided on forcing Greece out even before Syriza came to power at the beginning of the year. It was Schäuble who crafted the fateful memo intended to drive out Greece from the eurozone. And it is clear that Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, was not informed or consulted about this stance. Ironically, what saved Greece for the eurozone was the activities of its own government in accepting the onerous conditions, coupled with the intervention leaders of the governments of Italy and the Netherlands – along with Angela Merkel. EU leaders as expected went along with the main players.
But they did not dictate the direction or pace of events. Callinicos falls back on a stale "anti-imperialism" to bolster his "leave" position. Unfortunately he espouses a form of "anti-imperialism" whose roots to the working class have been cut. Callinicos argues: "The EU today is best understood as a dysfunctional would-be imperialist power. We can see its imperialist character most clearly in its promotion of neoliberalism—through its expansion to incorporate Central and Eastern Europe, in its policies towards neighbouring states in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe and now, within the EU, through the disciplinary mechanisms enforcing permanent austerity. But the dysfunctional nature of this imperialism is evident both internally (the eurozone) and externally (Ukraine)." The formula "dysfunctional would-be imperialist power" is slippery. It is self-evident that the EU promotes neoliberalism, is expansionist and behaves like a state. But this is pure tautology: by definition what else could a capitalist institution led by imperialist capitalist states and presiding over a capitalist economy aspire to be? Yet the EU is presently an odd imperialist power.
The EU has very weak military capacity – as its limited involvement in Ukraine has shown. Germany, the hegemonic state within the EU, has enormous power economically, but does not impose its interests through military means. Callinicos continually talks of NATO as if it is a proxy for an EU army. Callinicos is also silent on the actual imperialist power militarily active in the Ukraine, namely Russia. But even if it is accepted that the EU would like eventually to become an imperialist power, with a fully-formed state, which means with its own army and forces of coercion, this does not in today's conditions point towards a "leave" vote. Callinicos ignores the fact that outside the EU, the UK would remain what it is today: an actual imperialist power, presiding over a capitalist economy, a separate state striking out into wider economic waters in the hope of becoming a unique node of capitalist accumulation in the world economy. Nowhere does Callinicos weigh up what the UK as a neoliberal, "Singapore-on-steroids" capitalist economy outside of the EU might mean for workers.
The actual alternatives on the ballot paper are the UK remaining in the EU or striking out on an independent capitalist path outside it. In this case, the lesser evil so far as workers are concerned is to stay in and fight alongside other European workers.

"How's your social life?" my naturopath asked me at my annual exam.
This is one of the reasons I love seeing a naturopath. She asks me about everything. My diet, my social life, my work, everything. It's no secret that all these things play into a person's health.
I had just told her that I'm in grad school and therefore more stressed and strapped for time than usual. I admitted to her that I've declined invitations more than I'd like lately.
"It's really important to maintain friendships," she said. "And usually they're the first thing we cast aside when we're busy. It's especially important to keep that bond with our girlfriends."
I nodded. I'm always eager to get the good patient award when I go for a checkup, but I also meant it. I have really great friends. On The Mindy Project, Mindy was criticized for calling a bunch of people her "best friend." Best means best, you can only have one best. Mindy responds, "best friends are a tier."
I've also been known to use the term "best friend" liberally. And I feel no shame in admitting that.
Last night I was reading the latest issue of Health, where it had an article called 4 People Every Woman Needs in Her Circle. So with that, I present some awards to my tier of best friends.
The #RideOrDie
Kelly, Tara, Quyn, and Richie
This is the team that makes living with generalized anxiety disorder a lot more manageable.
The Toughie
Coley gives me tough love in the kindest way possible, and I love her for it.
The Jokester
Navani and James. If you have an opportunity to hang out with them, you should definitely take it. Except get your own. They're mine.
The Polar Opposite
Courtney. She keeps me young. When I go to bed at 10, she's just getting ready to go out.

What is Criminology ?
'Domestic Violence, Separation and Parenting', 'War against Terrorism' 'Migration, Identity and the State' etc. all these are part of Criminology which is the scientific study of crime, criminal behavior and law enforcement. Criminology is an advanced, theoretical field of study. It can be defined as the study of crime, the causes of crime (etiology), the meaning of crime in terms of law, and community reaction to crime. It embraces scholarly, scientific, and professional knowledge concerning the etiology, prevention, control and treatment of crime and delinquency. This includes the measurement and detection of crime, legislation and practice of criminal law, as well as the law enforcement, judicial and correctional systems.
Criminology also has specialized divisions such as Corrections and Sentencing, Critical Criminology, Women and Crime, International Criminology, and Crime against minorities, Juvenile delinquency, drug abuse etc.
Critical Criminology deals with questions of social, political and economic justice. Critical Criminology is for academicians and researchers and deals with issues that include class, gender, race/ethnicity and heterosexism.
Criminology, as avocation, is...

Cyber Forensics
What is Cyber Forensics ?
As John Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General observed, there are many persons who seek to disrupt business and government by exploring vulnerabilities in the digital universe.
Cyber Crimes are any illegal activities committed using computers. Given our increasing dependency on computing technology in daily business processes, and the growing opportunity to use engineering technologies to engage in illegal, unauthorized, and unethical acts aimed at corporate infrastructure, every organization is at risk.
Cyber Forensic experts gather evidence and establish credible audit trails of electronic wrong doing. They know how to identify, gather, document, and preserve evidence of electronic tampering and misuse. Thus Computer forensics is a branch of forensic science pertaining to legal evidence found in computers and digital storage mediums. It is the application of scientifically proven methods to gather, process, interpret, and to use digital evidence to provide a conclusive description of cyber crime activities. Cyber forensics also includes the act of making digital data suitable for inclusion into a criminal investigation. Today, Cyber forensics is a term used in conjunction...

Forensic Accounting
What is Forensic Accounting ?
Forensic Accounting is more than just accounting…more than just detective work ! Forensic accounting is the practice of utilizing accounting, auditing, and investigative skills to assist in legal matters. Forensic Accountants are trained to look beyond the numbers and deal with the business reality of fraud. Thus it is mainly used to identify malpractices in a company's accounts. Enron and Satyam frauds are good examples. Moreover, since 9/11 Forensic Accountants have also been playing a major role in tracing terrorists around the world !
What do I have to do?
It encompasses 2 main areas – litigation support, investigation and dispute resolution. Litigation support represents the factual presentation of financial issues related to existing or pending litigation. In this capacity, the forensic accounting professional quantifies damages sustained by parties involved in legal disputes and can assist in resolving disputes, even before they reach the courtroom. If a dispute reaches the courtroom, the forensic accountant may testify as an expert witness.

Forensic Science
What is Forensic Science ?
Investigations concerning the London bombings, murder cases specially where there are a dearth of witnesses, paternity disputes etc. all have one factor in common today – the vital and increasing role of forensic experts.
Forensic science is the application of science to law. In criminal cases forensic scientists are often involved in the search for and examination of physical traces which might be useful for establishing or excluding an association between someone suspected of committing a crime and the scene of the crime or victim. Such traces commonly include blood and other body fluids, hair, textile fibres from clothing, precious metals etc, materials used in buildings such as paint and glass, footwear, tool and tyre marks, flammable substances used to start fires and so on. Sometimes the scientist has to visit the scene itself to advise about likely sequence of events, any indicators as to who the perpetrator might be, and to join in the initial search for evidence. Other forensic scientists analyse suspected drugs of abuse, specimens from people thought to have taken them or to have been driving after drinking too much alcohol, or to have been poisoned.

Red Dog, Black Wolf. Will You Remember Your Name?
Curated by
Isabel Dexter
14 August – 5 September 2015
Preview: 13 August 2015, 18:30-21:00
Artist Talk: 27 August 2015, 19:00
press release
Pi Artworks is pleased to announce the second exhibition of its summer programme. The French phrase 'entre le chien et le loup'
(between dog and wolf) describes a moment during dusk, before dark, where one cannot distinguish between a dog and a wolf.
It expresses the ambiguity between the familiar and the comfortable, versus the unknown and the dangerous. Between the domestic and the wild,
the living and the dead. It is a liminal state of in-betweenness; that uncertain, alluring threshold between hope and fear.
For Red Dog, Black Wolf. Will You Remember Your Name? the gallery will be subsumed by a constellation of works by London-based artists
Charles Sandford and Rae Hicks. Through a series of interventions the gallery will be transformed into a semi-domestic, eerie interior populated by objects,
which span paintings, sculpture, installation and performance. These objects will employ recognisable forms and shapes, which enable them
to simultaneously retain their subjective autonomy as artworks, whilst at the same time act as placeholders for domestic and funeral motifs,
creating an uncanny impression of double identities jostling for attention.

D10S breaks four-year streak, takes home Spirit Stick
San Gabriel High School Key Club attended Fall Rally South (FRS) 2017 with Division 10 South (D10S) at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Nov. 11, along with over 40 other divisions in the Cali-Nev-Ha district. The annual event is held with the sole purpose of raising money for the Pediatric Trauma Program by holding an auction and a competition to win the Spirit Stick.
The main event at FRS is the rally where divisions compete for the Spirit Stick and can buy members of the district board in an auction with the money they raised. This year, D10S was able to buy Immediate Past Lieutenant Governor (LTG) and District Convention (DCON) Chair Samantha Voong and current LTG Wilson Yeung, using the $3,800 dollars that they raised. In addition, D10S, led by junior Mark Keppel LTG Wilson Yeung, took back the Spirit Stick after 4 years.
"Honestly, I didn't think we would win at all because at the spirit sessions, no one really seemed to care but we really came in clutch," Service Chair senior Lucy Nguyen said. "We were really small in size and the chants were a bit cringey, but I'm not complaining."
The division spent several weeks in advance planning spirit sessions and fundraisers in preparation for FRS. Members of D10S memorized three main cheers, three entrance cheers, 12 side cheers, and 15 comeback cheers for the rally and impromptu spirit battles.
"I noticed that people gradually started to attend the spirit sessions as fall rally crept closer," Key Club Secretary junior Irene Lu said. "[Despite] the cheers and attitudes of my fellow Key clubbers this year, I was unsure if we would win."
Divisions entered the Golden Bear Theatre with hopeful spirits and good sportsmanship. Suspense rose as everyone stomped on the benches and waved their pom poms. Of nine divisions, three made it to the final round: Divisions 10 South, 15 East, and 35 East.
"I think once [our division] realized that we had made it that far, everyone was determined to win and take the spirit stick home," Lu said.
D10S finished their last cheer and waited for the district executives to make their final decision. As the group waited in anticipation, several key clubbers created a drumroll and were kept in silent suspension. When 10 South was declared the winners of the rally, everyone broke out in tears and joy.
"When they called 10 South, it secured our triumph—the victory that we were never able to reach for 4 years," Yeung said. "I ran to my bidders downstage and tripped on my long skirt and fell, but I was yelling and crying at the same time."
According to Yeung, this was the biggest accomplishment the division could achieve. D10S, filled with joy and excitement for their new win, chanted Yeung's name and cheered each other on.
"When I stood on stage and looked out into the sea of blue and yellow, I couldn't believe that I have the honor and privilege to serve as their Lieutenant Governor," Yeung said. "FRS 2017 was my true Key Club moment."
Key Club will be hosting another major 3-day, 2-night event, DCON, on April 13-15, 2018 in Reno, Nevada, where members will be able to participate in workshops, attend speeches, and meet other key clubbers.

Unilever's (NYSE: UL) turnover revenues decreased 5% year-over-year (y-o-y) in its recent quarterly earnings, primarily due to a negative currency impact of 5.2% and a net impact from the disposal of spreads business to KKR. However, the company benefitted from better volumes, pricing, and a Brazil recovery in the quarter. The company's organic growth of 3.8% was mostly comprised of volume growth of 2.4% and a pricing growth of 1.4%. The consumer goods company reported an improvement across all its major business divisions, and benefitted from strong volume growth in the emerging markets.
Our $58 price estimate for Unilever's stock is slightly ahead of the current market price. We have created an interactive dashboard on A Closer Look At Unilever's Q3 And Beyond which outlines our forecasts for the company. In this dashboard, we have estimated the company's full-year fiscal 2018 results (in U.S. dollars). You can modify our forecasts to see the impact any changes would have on the company's earnings and valuation.
Emerging Markets Lead The Way
- Unilever Revenues Dipped from 2017-2019, Drop Again in 2020?
- When Can Unilever's Total Revenue Cross $60 Billion Again?
- What Are The Factors Behind Unilever's Expected Lack Of Revenue Growth Between 2018 and 2020?
- How Do Procter & Gamble's Revenues And Key Metrics Compare With Its Close Competitor Unilever?
- Is Personal Care Segment Revenue Driving Unilever's Total Revenue Growth?
- What To Make of Unilever's Purchase Of A Japanese-Inspired Skin Care Brand?
Emerging markets play a vital role in Unilever's business, as almost 60% of its total revenues comes from this market. Unilever's emerging markets revenue grew 5.6% in the Q3, whereas developed markets grew at 1.3%. China' s e-commerce continued to be the key driver of this market growth. Across Southeast Asia, the pick-up in pricing helped overall market growth in Indonesia, which had been weak for some time. In developed markets, Unilever saw a recovery in North America following a weaker first half, while a combination of good weather and strong innovation helped the ice cream business to continue its growth in Europe. Future Outlook
Going forward, Unilever expects its full-year underlying sales growth to be at the bottom end of its range of 3% to 5% for 2018 and an improvement to 20% in the underlying operating margin, which will keep it on track for its 2020 targets. Overall, we expect Unilever to generate around $61.4 billion (+1% y-o-y) in revenues in 2018, and earnings of almost $7.7 billion. Of the total expected revenues in 2018, we estimate $13.7 billion in the Foods business, around $11.5 billion for the Refreshments business, nearly $23.8 billion for the Personal Care segment, and almost $12.2 billion in the Home Care business.
Personal Care is Unilever's largest division, having overtaken the Foods division in 2011 to take the top spot. The company's shifting priority is evident from the fact that the revenue share of its Foods unit has fallen from 30% in 2011 to 23% in 2017, while the share of its Personal Care segment has grown from 33% to 39% over the same period. More recently, Unilever named the expansion of the segment through acquisitions as one of its top priorities. Some of the recent acquisitions in the space include Quala, Carver Korea, Sundial, Schmidt's Naturals, and Equilibra. Such key strategic acquisitions will ensure that this segment becomes a key growth driver for the company going forward.
The company is expected to benefit from its 'Connected 4 Growth' initiative, which includes supply chain simplification, innovation, and cost-saving initiatives. Going forward, the company expects increased investment in brands and marketing, which could help grow volumes in the Personal Care segment. We expect the company's full-year adjusted EPS to come in at around $2.44.

Since their Last Concert, Efterklang have continued to create and collaborate - launching a new band (Liima), a radio station (The Lake), and a festival (By The Lake) - but their newest project is perhaps their boldest move yet.
This summer the Danish trio will present an opera entitled LEAVES – The Colour of Falling. Co-composed with renowned fellow Dane Karsten Fundal, LEAVES is a genre-crossing operatic production that will take place underground in a huge Cold War-era bunker beneath Copenhagen's municipal hospital. Once used as a subterranean emergency hospital but long since abandoned, the audience will be led through the labyrinthine corridors that have been closed to the public for decades.
The eleven songs comprising LEAVES will be performed daily by Efterklang plus eight classically-trained musicians. The five vocalists will be Katinka Fogh VIndelev (soprano, We Like We), Lisbeth Balslev (soprano), Casper Clausen (Efterklang), Nicolai Eisberg (bass, Spillemændene) and Morten Grove Frandsen (countertenor).
Commissioned for the Copenhagen Opera Festival, the gala performance of LEAVES will be on July 26th, with a further 13 shows until August 8th. Each performance will be limited to sixty tickets. For more information head here.
LEAVES is composed by Karsten Fundal and Efterklang
Directed by Christian Lollike from the theatre Sort/Hvid
English lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen

In an era where novelty and choice are in peak demand, it's hardly surprising that fashion brands and retailers are in a constant battle for consumer loyalty. According to McKinsey and Business of Fashion's State of Fashion Report 2019, one in three young consumers in the UK wears an item of clothing just once or twice before losing interest, and one in seven considers it a faux-pas to be snapped in an outfit more than once.
In light of these startling changes in attitude, more sustainable and convenient frameworks like rental commerce are prevailing. A concept already well-established in the entertainment space – subscription services for music (Spotify) and films (Netflix) have virtually eradicated ownership-based models like CD's or DVD's – it's gaining favour in fashion too: By 2023, Allied Market Research predicts the global clothing rental market will be worth USD$1.9 billion.
Yet, rental doesn't necessarily need to replace traditional retail models – there's strong potential for the two to share the floor space and work in tandem. ORDRE outlines three reasons why retailers should consider embracing the market.
"By 2023, the global clothing rental market will be worth USD$1.9 billion. "
Increase Scope for New Audiences
Catering to growing demand for one-use items and occasion wear, rental offers flexibility and options suited to a wide variety of audiences: "The average consumer cares about making smart choices, [about] not being ripped off," says Jennifer Hyman, chief executive of fashion rental service Rent the Runway, in the State of Fashion report. "No one is going to spend a few hundred or thousand dollars on an item they're only going to wear once or twice."
Leasing expensive luxury items at a fraction of the price plays on the appeal of attainability, and ensures that there are no limitations on selling to consumers in specific spending brackets. "What designers have really seen is that the customer base that Rent the Runway brings is new and different compared to their other partners," adds Hyman. "We are bringing new customers who are trying the brand for the very first time."
Generate Sustainable Consumerism
Considering the rental model extends the lifecycle of products, it also taps into fashion's blossoming love affair with sustainability. According to the State of Fashion report, nine in ten Gen-Z shoppers believe companies have a responsibility to address environmental and social issues, while two-thirds of consumers worldwide say they would avoid or boycott a designer based on their relationship with sustainability.
Brands are beginning to explore rental initiatives in a bid to develop a more circular business model: As part of their US expansion strategy, French ready-to-wear label Ba&sh offers free clothing rentals on weekends from its New York outpost, and VF Corporation – which owns labels like The North Face and Timberland – has pledged to incorporate rental services into its business by 2030 as part of its corporate sustainability goals.
Partner With Field Leaders
Established retailers are also dipping their toes into the market by teaming up with native rental players who are leading the field. In 2016, Neiman Marcus launched a collaboration with Rent the Runway. In return for free real estate – 3000 square feet of space on their San Francisco shop floor to be exact – the retailer was able to capitalise on their millennial customer base. Across the pond, Parisian department store Le Bon Marché partnered with luxury rental platform Armarium in 2019 to provide its clients with an in-store pop-up rental experience. Unveiled in time for the AW'19 runway shows, it targeted the inflated number of consumers and fashion week attendees visiting the city during market. The year prior, London retailer Browns explored the rental space with Armarium.
With the end of ownership on the horizon, the fate of traditional trade models hangs in the balance. Yet one thing is clear: the rental revolution is only going to continue evolving with the voyeurism of the digital age and the global interest of sustainability.

Ironic Contradictions
I'm a long time reader - since way back when I was seven. That makes it over three quarters of my life that I will be a reader for. But it is worth it. When I'm not reading or wasting my time online on here or Goodreads I'll be off playing video games, studying teaching and messing around with friends and pop culture. Or reading some more.

While I certainly found the characters different to a degree and the plot lines with aliens also different something lacked in this graphic novel. It was one I simply drifted through going: yeah that's an alright idea, I like the interdimensional hub, lightning powers done before, supersoldier done before...
The characters are not typical heroes. They range from a spirit of the 20th century, to a Shaman, a nanotech filled Engineer, to a god of cities, to a solar powered being and a super fast intelligent supersoldier reminiscent of Batman. Yeah he even went by the name of Midnighter. Still their characterisation was different even if their powers and artwork was similar.
An okay graphic novel in summary but not great. I was reminded too much of a poor imitation of The Justice League in many ways. So I don't really recommend this unless you have nothing else to read at all.

This content contains explicit and sensitive information that may not be suitable for all ages.
Through the years of mothering my son, my constant companions have always been there; guilt, grief, pain, mental illness and shame. There have been times of falling apart, times of seeking help in the emergency room, weeks of counseling and, one time, I checked myself in to the hospital.
I felt when it was my own child that things would be different.
I had never wanted the Mother experience like so many other girls. I never liked baby-sitting (only did it once) and couldn't fathom pushing a baby out of my body. I was even advised by a psychiatrist that I should consider not having kids because of my mental illness. I didn't listen. I felt when it was my own child that things would be different. Beside, I was afraid I'd lose my husband and life as I knew it if I didn't.
I gave birth, naturally, to a healthy baby boy. At first it was like a dream, all cuddles and cooing, then the nightmare of postpartum depression became a reality. That was my first hint that the doctor might have been right.
Throughout my son's first couple of years, I still struggled, not only with my mental health but with my physical health as well. I developed chronic pain and took muscle relaxers and pain medication in addition to my anti-depressants. His health changed as well, going from a healthy, happy baby to an inconsolable, developmentally delayed toddler who was eventually diagnosed with autism.
I felt that my mental health somehow affected and changed him.
It crushed me. I felt intense guilt that I had done something wrong. I felt like it was all my fault. I felt that my mental health somehow affected and changed him. I became someone I didn't know. A Warrior Mom, trying to fight for her son. A Rage Mom when I couldn't take it any more. A Depressed Mom when the sadness overwhelmed me. Pain Mom was constant and I was on so much medication that I welcomed the numbness.
As years passed, the roller-coaster ride of being a Mom and having both mental illness and chronic pain took its toll. I divorced from my husband and became a single Mom. In hindsight it wasn't a wise choice, but I had been a stay-at-home Mom for seven years. My son had become my identity, my purpose, and my whole life. After two years and a crushing breakdown, I realized that things needed to change. My son went to live with his Dad and I sold everything, put my life in a backpack, and went traveling to nurture myself. At first, I felt like the worst, most selfish Mother in the world for making that decision. But it became apparent for many reasons that I needed to love myself first.
For three and a half months, I traveled around Europe. There were heart-breaking times where I missed him beyond words and times where I forgot about him entirely (after which I felt tremendous guilt and shame). In the end, I missed him so much that I decided to end my trip and come home.
I became a working Mom and saw him every other weekend. We had quality time together yet still the guilt of not being there for him attacked me. There were weekends that had to be cut short because of my mental failures and not being able to cope with them. There were also more breakdowns where I couldn't even honour my weekends with him. "What kind of Mother was I?" I tortured myself. I felt ashamed of my lack of Mother-strength.
My breakdowns and chronic pain led to me not working and eventually going on disability support. I found and married a wonderful man who supported me when I was down, helped take care of my son when I couldn't, and provided encouragement when my anxiety, depression and self-hatred of my mothering abilities overwhelmed me.
I still have anxiety and panic attacks before he arrives.
After a few years, puberty came to my son and brought with it aggressive meltdowns and inappropriate touching. I couldn't physically or mentally cope with either. I had to push back my visits to once a month and they still continue that way today. Even though he only visits briefly, I still have anxiety and panic attacks before he arrives.
It has taken me many years of therapy and counseling to try to come to terms with the Mother-guilt and shame that I carry in my heart. I know that I've done my best but I still continue to ask myself if it's enough. I don't know if I will ever get over my self-judgment of my mothering abilities. I feel shame for not being able to take care of him more than I do. I feel shame for leaving him and putting myself first. I feel shame at wondering if the psychiatrist was right and I should never have chosen to become pregnant at all. I wonder what he thinks of me.
Tracy your story touched my heart and brought back memories of my moms last day on earth. As i looked in her eyes and told her it was okay to go home , her baby blue eyes filled with tears (no longer able to talk). Those tears were filled with flaws / failure but most importantly* LOVE* , i say this because all her life she took care of others and *neglected herself* and the one she couldn't help was me. I suffered all my life and she couldn't fix it and what i found out was my parents weren't the* know everything * i thought they were as a child .
The hardest and most rewarding job is becoming a parent and i realized much to late , that my parents (like yourself) did the best they could with what they had. Their *parenting knowledge* was only as good as what they learned through their eyes and ears growing up.
As humans we all have fears, flaws , failures and shame, but thank GOD we also have hope,dreams and success if we allow ourselves look for them .
I hope at some point you find the happy you long for and who knows , you may find yourself saying one day (embarrassing and or proud moment) " that's my Boy " and be proud knowing you did your best.

Biological Products for Agriculture
Why ship water? And Why pay for water? That's the question. At Custom Biologicals we have the answer. We manufacture concentrated biological products. After all it makes no sense to ship – and pay for – water.
Concentrated Microbial Products
Concentrated products are great for agriculture, specifically for biofertilizers. They're easy to handle, mix and apply to your crops. This saves you money!
Our liquid concentrates, like Custom B5, have a standard formulation of 1 Liter treats 50 acres (or 20 Hectares). Custom B5 contains 5 species of beneficial soil bacteria.
Save Money on Freight Charges
So let's do a little math. For Custom B5, a liter weights about 2 pounds. Many other biological products have a one gallon to the acre concentration. You would need 50 gallons, weighting about 400 pounds. So would you rather deal with 2 pounds or 400?
It only makes sense to use as concentrated a product as possible!
Types of Concentrated Agricultural Products
Custom manufactures two types of concentrated biological products; liquid concentrates and fizzytabs. Liquid concentrates come in two standard formulations; 50 ml and 1 liter.
The fizzy fertilizer tabs are also highly concentrated biological products. Both Biota Max™ and Custom B5 tablets are unique, effervescent tablets. When diluted, each tablet treats 1/4 acre (1/10 hectare).
Both liquid concentrates and fizzy fertilizer tabs contain the same great beneficial soil probiotics, so choose the formulation that works best for you.
Distributor Inquiries Welcome
For distributors, this shipping difference allows you to pay less in freight and stock less product. Custom Biologicals is always looking for new distributor relationships, both domestic and international. Private labeling and protected territories (international) are available.
Here's the list of our concentrated biological products for use in agricultural applications.
Custom Biologicals manufactures and distributes a number of biological products for agricultural uses including, biofertilizers, Trichoderma products and soil probiotics. Contact Custom Biologicals at (561) 797-3008 or via email at email@example.com.

An Italian invention (originally from Milan), panettone is almost as ubiquitous as Christmas pudding these days, come December. A sort of cake/bread hybrid, it's traditionally flavoured with candied fruits, and invariably comes packaged in a pretty box. Although seriously scrumptious served in a big wedge with a hot drink (or boozy alternative), it also makes the most delicious base for other desserts.
Asda's Extra Special Italian Pantettone is crafted over the course of three days, using a buttery, sultana and candied orange-flecked dough and baked to a traditonal recipe. If you're looking for ways to use up that panettone, here are a few simple, delicious and family-friendly recipe ideas...
1. Panettone tiramisu
This tiramisu is made even more Italian with the inclusion of panettone, soaked in coffee and liquer and topped with creamy mascarpone. It serves 8 people, so is a great way of making that leftover panettone go further. Sprinkled with flakes of dark chocolate, it looks pretty darn impressive, too.
2. Berry panettone pudding
Bread and butter pudding is delicious however you make it – with regular old stale sliced white, croissants, hot cross buns or added chocolate. But this panettone variant might just be the tastiest of all. A mix of fresh raspberries with dried blueberries and cherries adds a bit of festive colour to this creamy pud – just serve with a splodge of cream.
3. Prosecco & panettone trifle
Another Italian spin on an old English favourite – Prosecco is used in place of sherry in this fruity trifle. Simply drizzle a small glassful over your layers of panettone, before adding the other ingredients. This pistachio-topped showstopper would make a fantastic, lighter (and less time-consuming) alternative to that Christmas pudding, as it delivers a fruity, boozy kick minus the stodge-factor.
Fancy whipping up one these delicious panettone recipes? Make sure to stock up on everything you need online or pop into your local store.

Why The Anticipation of Reward Can Be Greater than the Reward
When I was 12 I wanted a gold chain.
My mother was all about jewelry and had diamonds, and gold, and silver.
She didn't believe in fake jewelry and I'm still has a nice stash.
I have never been much for jewelry, I have two silver bands I wear and the occasion necklace. I never wanted a big diamond and just having a raised jewel on my finger drives me nuts!
But when I was 12 all I wanted was to fit in and have a gold chain.
I picked one out at Target, it was about $100 which is a fortune for a 12 year old.
I visited that chain at least once a week for at least a year.
I worked odd jobs and did some baby sitting and I saved.
I suppose this was my big learning moment for saving your money and investing it in something you really, really want.
Eventually I Got It
Eventually I saved enough to buy it and I got it.
I remember how happy I was to finally have achieved my goal; and then to only realize how easily kinked the gold would get when I wore it and how it yanked out the hair around the back of my neck.
I guess it didn't exactly meet my expectations and I was eventually disappointed.
The anticipation of getting what I wanted was so much greater than the reward of getting it.
Excitement was built in the "working for it". And, I am glad my parents didn't just buy it for me (now) as I have learned to work for everything I get.
And, unlike most in the current generation; I learned to work HARD. I like hard work. I don't like standing around, I have a good work ethic and I don't expect a gigantic paycheck for doing very little.
Although a big check with little work sounds good, it isn't very realistic and it certainly doesn't teach work ethic.
I Want Work Ethic
Not only do I want to work hard.
I want to hire people with hard work ethic.
AND, I want a DOG with work ethic.
I don't want a dog who needs a cookie after the second command, or the third command or the fourth command.
Eventually I want a dog that can do a 20 minute heeling and obedience routine with no reward at all except for praise "Good Dog" and a little pat of affection.
After all, if you ever compete and if you don't want a dog that looks like an ottoman with legs, you need to vary how often your dog is getting rewarded and work away from tons of reward.
Don't Get Me Wrong
In the beginning when you are teaching your dog, he needs LOTS of reward and LOTS of reward with repetition in order for him to learn what you want and perform with accuracy.
But after a while if you are just dipping into your pockets for treat after treat after treat, or constantly playing games you are bribing him; you are not teaching him anymore! For more on misusing treats or bribery click here
And, remember that the reward needs to be greater than the distraction or whatever we are asking him to do. So in the beginning he gets a little treat for good behavior and learning, but if he ignores a squirrel or the annoying screaming, barking neighbor child he gets a jackpot of chicken or a game of retrieve (this is a much higher value reward for my dogs) for more on that click here.
But What of the Interim?
So what about in between; when you are trying to extend the amount of time from when he learned the behavior (and now knows it) and not rewarding ALL THE TIME anymore?
That is when the ANTICIPATION of reward motivates your dog forward.
He knows it is coming, he just doesn't know WHEN it is coming.
Like the Jewelry
Like my gold chain. I didn't know WHEN I would raise enough money but I knew I would be getting that chain. The anticipation and thinking about my reward was almost better than the actual reward itself.
So how do you do that?
First, remember it is a bit of a slow process. If you go from rewarding frequently to hardly rewarding at all anymore; you'll end up with a dog who has NO INTEREST IN OBEDIENCE anymore.
Remember his goal or toy, or food, or whatever he is working for has to be attainable!
Next is to build his anticipation of it.
Get him excited!
Tease him with his food or his toy, prior to making him work a little bit for him. Allow him to build his drive for the object by making that object clear but unattainable for a little bit.
At first he will jump on you and show bad behavior; but as he learns to cap his desire to steal the toy or treat from you he will learn to channel that excitement into his obedience.
Before I Get Started
Before I get started working with my dogs, I show them everything I have for them if they achieve their goals.
I show them I have chicken, I have dog food, I have their favorite ball, and I have their tug toy. I often put them into a fanny pack, or vest, or oversized sweatshirt.
And, I lightly tease them with it; asking "Do you want to go training? Do you want to work?"
They want the opportunity to get the things they desire.
For a decent job if you are a dog you get a piece of dog food. For good job, if you are one of my dogs you get some chicken breast or a jackpot of chicken breast and for an excellent job you (as a dog) would get a game of tug or retrieve.
My dogs work mostly for their toys. A treat keeps them on the right path but a game is why they play.
Eventually I fade all my treats and they work for their games.
And, occasionally I make them wait LONG periods of time with lots of obedience before a LONG game of retrieve and play.
These are the games or jackpots that keep them working.
I don't do it often.
Even though I can get my dogs to work for 20 minutes or more at a time without rewards, I don't do it very often.
BECAUSE I want them to think the reward is just around the corner, and I do that by building their anticipation for the reward.
I have been a professional dog trainer and pet sitter for over 20 years. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, through the international Certification Counsel of Professional Dog Trainers. I have trained and worked with police, Schutzhund and personal protection dogs. I trained Assistance Dogs in a men's prison and ran my own nonprofit organization to take adult dogs from shelters and to train them to assist children and adults with disabilities, at no charge to my clients. My nonprofit organization and I were nominated for several awards of merit and even made the front page of the Denver Post. I was a veterinary technician for many years, where I learned about all aspects of health and preventative medicine. I have trained and worked with exotic animals and cheetahs. I introduced a temperament testing program in my local shelter and sat on the board of directors. I volunteered with my dog "Mr. Snitch" and helped local children learn to read. I have attained obedience titles and several blue ribbons. I am constantly in search of ways to continue my education and excellence when it comes to animals, their behavior and their health.
I have a standard poodle. He is not excited about treats, toys and food. He will stick his nose up at bacon, steak, cookies and most anything we offer him from the human pallete.
We have at least six different types of dog treats just sitting, open and they will get stale and he will not eat them.
He has one toy that be plays with although he has many. Also will retrive a tennis ball, only one and will search till he finds it, but only when he wants to play. He is very patient and will stand for a half hour or more waiting for you to toss the ball.
So to have something to motivate him has been impossible. He obeys me much better then my husband because I do not ask for anything unless he does what I ask or he will eventually comply. I do not allow him not to comply, even if it take some time. So now for some ideas for training would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Food is always a motivator if you make it a motivator. Dogs need food to survive. The problem is your dog is not hungry… if he was hungry he would eat those treats. But most people leave the food out and treat their dogs just because they love them.
If my dog isn't interested in food then he is going to skip a meal or two. Read these articles to find out more http://www.thedogtrainingsecret.com/blog/treats-working-dog-whale-tv/
We tried to do that but our dog got tired of it and is still the destructive dog we have now. Do you know any other way we can get her attention for training?

Most destructive dogs need more exercise; boredom comes through as destruction… and destruction is fun for dogs.
a 5 mile run or something that will exhaust her will keep her from being destructive. I run my dog next to my trike so that he sleeps in the afternoon and evening.
but it is also important to work on training and mental stimulation read this http://www.thedogtrainingsecret.com/blog/mental-exercise-tires-dog-physically-physical-exercise/
I relate to this article a LOT! I've been dealing with our 10 1/2 year old dog who has LOVED his kennel for years. It's his safe haven and he has willingly gone into it to escape and have his time. "Suddenly" he hates it at night. He whines, barks and escalates to frantic. I haven't seen this behavior…ever. I knew he was safe…and I finally broke b/c I needed sleep! Two nights in a row he "won" and got let out of his kennel.
So, I had to go back and think about why "suddenly" he doesn't like it. I discovered a trail of times I've let him not follow through with a command…and also realized I had really slacked off on his treats. He gets them, but it's pretty random (we got busy with a business launch and just kept forgetting – oops!).
Two days ago my husband told him "on your bed" (which is "kennel" and he just jumped up to the couch. AH HA! Didn't know you'd be sneaking up there! So now…back to treats only in the kennel. The anticipation of the treat gets him back into his kennel for up to 30 minutes before he comes out to remind me 'hey! treat?" then right back in to nap…thanks for the reminder!! And ZigDog thanks you for the up-leveling of treats!
I agree with you that Food is always a motivator if you make it a motivator. some experience issues understanding the contrast in the middle of remuneration and prize. On the off chance that your pooch is giving an activity and that is the reason the puppy is getting the treat, then you are alright. Simply recollect that the conduct ought to be the consequence of the treat; the treat ought not to be the aftereffect of the conduct.

Deus: Misaki Suzuhara
Though small and lightweight compared to most angels, Hikaru possesses very strong attacks, most which are speed-based. Her small stature makes her aerodynamic, quick, and agile. She was created by Misaki to show others, through Angelic Layer, that there is nothing wrong with being small. Hikaru appears as a crossover character in Chapter 144 of Clamp's manga Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle. Hikaru's name means 'glowing' or 'shining' in Japanese. In the manga, Misaki bases Hikaru's appearance off of Hikaru Shidou from Magic Knight Rayearth.
Physical AppearanceEditHer appearance is a bit tomboyish, since Misaki had accidentally cut her hair short. She has a less mature physique than other angels.

Purple Tree Photography is an extremely professional company who went above and beyond in so many ways to ensure we felt comfortable, happy, and had fun while taking all of our wedding and engagement shoot photos. Everything ran so smoothly, and we had so much with them!! They are so creative in coming up with beautiful places and backdrops to take photos, and each and every one of our photos turned out absolutely beautiful. They also went out of their way to ensure photos were taken of ALL of the most important people at the wedding! You would be making a HUGE mistake by not choosing Purple Tree Photography to capture your wedding day (and engagement photos!).

Sarah Bunnett-Gibson Wedding OfficiantView Profile
This is a great company with originality and professionalism. Purple Tree has a handpicked staff of talented photographers who are careful to bring alive the vision of each distinct bridal couple. Repeatedly I have seen them be very patient and thoughtful, encouraging shy family members to get comfortable having their picture taken. This sensitivity always results in much more natural and memorable wedding photos to treasure for years to come.
