Ignored. (Present because the generic requires it.)
For the purposes of this function, a "table" is a rectangular array of values, computed using a formula expression. The left hand side of the formula describes the rows of the table, the right hand side describes the columns.
Within the expression for the rows or columns, the operators
= have special meanings.
+ operator represents concatenation, so that
x + y ~ z says to
show the rows corresponding to
x above the rows corresponding to
* operator represents nesting, so that
x*y ~ z says to
show the rows of
y within each row corresponding to
= operator sets a new name for a term; it is an abbreviation
for the
Heading() pseudo-function. ("Pseudo-functions" are
described in the
tables vignette.) Note that
= has low operator precedence and may be confused by the parser
with setting function arguments, so parentheses are usually needed.
Parentheses may be used to group terms in the usual arithmetic way, so
(x + y)*(u + v) is equivalent to
x*u + x*v + y*u + y*v.
The names
Heading have special meaning; see the section on Formatting below.
The interpretation of other terms in the formulas depends on how they evaluate.
If the term evaluates to a function, it should be a summary function that
produces a scalar value when applied to a vector of values, and that scalar will be displayed
in the table. For example,
(mean + var) ~ x will display the mean of
x above the variance of
x. If no function is specified,
is assumed, so the table will display counts. (At most one summary function may
be specified in any one term, so
mean*var would be an error.)
If the term evaluates to a logical vector, it is assumed to specify a subset. For example,
~ (x > 3) + (x > 5) will tabulate the counts of those two subsets.
If the term evaluates to a factor, it generates multiple rows or columns, corresponding
to the different levels of the factor. For example if
A has three levels, then
A ~ mean*x will calculate the mean of
x within each level of
If the term evaluates to a language object, it is treated as a macro, and expanded in place in the formula.
Other terms are assumed to be R expressions producing a vector of values to be
summarized in the table. Only one vector of values can be specified in any given term,
but different terms can summarize different values.
is.atomic must
evaluate to
TRUE for these values for them to be recognized.
All logical, factor or other values in the table should be the same length, as if
they were columns in a dataframe (but they can be computed values). If
n is
missing but
data is a dataframe,
n is set from that. Otherwise, if terms such
1 appear in a table, the length is assumed to be the same as for previous terms.
As a last resort, set the
n argument in the call to
tabular() explicitly.
"[" method extracts a subset of the table.
For indexing, consider the table to consist of a matrix containing the values.
drop=TRUE, the labels and attributes are dropped. If
the default, the
i and
j indices must select
a rectangular block of the table; matrix indexing (using a two column
matrix or a full matrix of logical values) is not supported.
An object of S3 class
"tabular". This is a matrix of mode list,
whose entries are computed summary values, with the following attributes:
A matrix of labels for the rows. This will have the same number of rows
as the main matrix, but may have multiple columns for different nested levels of labels.
If a label covers multiple rows, it is entered in the first row, and
NA is used to
fill following rows.
rowLabels, but labelling the columns.
The original table expression being displayed. A list of the original
format specifications are attached as a
"fmtlist" attribute.
A matrix of the same shape as the main result, containing
for default formatting, or an index into the format list.
tabular() function does no formatting of computed values, but
it records requests for formatting.
print.tabular() and
functions make use of these requests.
By default, columns are formatted using the
format function, with
digits and any other arguments passed in
.... Each
column is formatted separately, similarly to how a matrix is printed by default.
To request special formatting, four pseudo-functions are provided. The first is
Format. Normally it includes arguments to pass to the
function, e.g.
Format(digits=2). It may instead include
a call to a function, e.g.
Format(sprintf("%.2f"). In either case
the summary values from
cells in the table that are nested below the
Format specification
will be passed to that function in an argument named
x, i.e. in the first
example, the values would be formatted using
format(digits=2, x=values),
and in the second, using
sprintf("%.2f", x=values). Users can supply
their own function to be used for formatting; it should take values in a named
x and return a character vector of the same length.
This can be used to control formatting in multiple columns at once. For example,
Format(digits=2)*(mean + sd) will print both the mean and standard deviation
in a single call to
format, guaranteeing that the same number of decimal
places is used in both. (The
iris example below demonstrates this.)
If the
latex argument to
latex.tabular is
TRUE, then
an effort is made to retain spacing, and to convert minus signs to the
appropriate type of dash using the
latexNumeric function.
The second pseudo-function
.Format is mainly intended for internal use. It
takes a single integer argument, saying that data governed by this call uses the
same formatting as another format specification. In this way entries can be
commonly formatted even when they are not contiguous. The integers are assigned
sequentially as the format specification is parsed; users will likely need
trial and error to find the right value in a complicated table with multiple formats.
A third pseudo-function is
Justify. It takes character values or names as arguments;
how they are treated depends on the output format. In
format.tabular, coarse
justification is done to left, right or center, using
r or
For LaTeX formatting, any string acceptable as a justification
string to LaTeX will be passed on.
A final pseudo-function is
Heading. Use this function in the
row definitions to set a heading on the following column of row
labels. (Internally this is how the headings on factor columns are
implemented.) If it is called with no argument, it suppresses the
following heading. The
suppressLabels=n argument to
tabular() is equivalent to repeating
times at the start of the table formula. The
= operator is an
abbreviation for
Heading(); see above.
tabular methods
The default
tabular method just applies
as.formula to
table, and then calls
tabular.formula method is the main workhorse of the
package. Other authors who wish to produce tables directly from their
own structures should normally create a formula whose environment
contains all mentioned variables and call
tabular.formula with
appropriate arguments.
This function was inspired by my 20 year old memories of the SAS TABULATE procedure.
See Also
table and
ftable are base R functions which produce
tables of counts. The
tables vignette has many more examples and displays the
formatted output.

I really cannot get enough of how amazing these polishes from the Essie Fall Collection look together! Once I saw them, I knew I had to use them together. I don't do leopard print that often, but I thought it would look really great with these colors.
All of the colors I used are from Essie's Fall 2014 collection: The Perfect Cover-UP (dark teal), Fall in Line (green), and Take it Outside (gray). The stud is from Born Pretty Store.
Animal print is not really my thing, but I think these turned out really good! I actually enjoyed wearing them a lot. What's your favorite fall print?

UCLan to play key role in delivery of new Government-backed initiative
The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is to play a key role in a pioneering new scheme aimed at fast-tracking talented students and graduates into expert mental health social workers.
In its first year, the Government-backed 'Think Ahead' scheme will recruit 80 to 100 'remarkable people' to undergo an intensive programme, learning on the job from the outset.
One in four people now live with mental illness, placing strain on the NHS and public services. Think Ahead aims to create leaders who can improve services and shape the future of mental health care.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Think Ahead and the University of York to develop talented and compassionate graduates into expert mental health social workers."
Minister of State for Community and Social Care Alistair Burt said: "For years mental health services have not been given the priority they need – we are determined to put this right. Think Ahead will help us achieve this by attracting talented graduates to help us improve the lives of people facing mental ill-health and their families."
UCLan will work in partnership with the University of York, who will lead the programme's teaching and award participants with a master's degree in social work. Experts from both universities will deliver a new cutting-edge curriculum, focused on international best practice in mental health and social work.
Commenting on the initiative, Jill Hemmington, UCLan's academic lead on Think Ahead, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Think Ahead and the University of York to develop talented and compassionate graduates into expert mental health social workers.
"Drawing on the best evidence from around the world we will provide participants from a diverse range of backgrounds with the cutting-edge knowledge and skills that will enable them to make a difference from their first day as a social worker."
Since it was announced in March more than 2,500 people have pre-registered their interest in applying to the Think Ahead programme, which opened for applications from midday Tuesday, 1 September.
Prospective students must be able to demonstrate attributes such as resilience and empathy, as well providing evidence of academic talent. Successful applicants will join local authorities and NHS trusts in several regions of England: London, the South East, the Midlands, Yorkshire, and the North East. They will train in community mental health services, working alongside psychologists and psychiatrists to support adults with mental illness.
Professor Dame Carol Black, Principal of Newnham College Cambridge and Think Ahead's Chair, added: "We are looking forward to selecting our first group of remarkable people, and giving them the chance to shape the future of mental health services.
"I'm thrilled that so many students and graduates from the UK's top universities have pre-registered to apply, but we will be looking for more than academic ability. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate resilience, empathy, and the potential to become leaders in mental health, social work, and beyond."
Frances Turner, a Cambridge graduate and mental health social worker who is working with Think Ahead to set up the programme, said: "I've been a social worker for eight years, and there is no job I'd rather do. Every day is unique, and the challenge and intellectual rigour of the role mean that I'm constantly using the skills I developed at university.
"I fully encourage ambitious graduates, who want to make a positive impact on people's mental health, to apply to Think Ahead."

Charities I Support
Charity Golf Tournament
The 'Links 4 Life' golf tournament is an annual celebrity golf event, which raises money for both the Kingston Cancer Centre and St. Mary's of the Lake Hospital in Kingston, Ontario. All money raised is donated in memory of Jayna's father, Larry Hefford, who passed away in December 2007. The tournament is held at Smuggler's Glen Golf Course, just east of Kingston in Gananoque, Ontario. The tournament was started the summer of 2009, and continues to raise valuable funds for the University Hospitals Foundation. The 2013 tournament will be held July 11th, and should put the donation amount over $100,000 in only 5 years.

Dragons were among the most ancient and terrible of all the creatures in Middle-earth. It is likely that they were first bred by Morgoth upon his return to Angband with the Silmarils.
There were three strains of dragons:
There were three strains of dragons:
Winged dragons – First appearing during the Great Battle, the winged dragons not only flew, as their name suggests, but they also breathed fire. Following the Great Battle, they are not mentioned in the history of Middle-earth until TA 2570, when they reappeared in the Ered Mithrin. Ancalagon the Black was the first and greatest of the flying dragons, but Smaug was one of the last remaining winged dragons in Middle-earth.
Additionally, dragons are also sometimes referred to as drakes, worms, long-worms, or serpents.
Most of the dragons in Middle-earth were not only strong, but they were also cunning, quick-witted, malicious, and greedy (they were known for possessing much wealth). They also had the ability to bewitch anyone who looked into their eyes.

Those flying fortresses are so cool. I want to bash the show like I always do, but before that, I really need to take a better look at those fortress and how awesome they are. I feel like I'm watching Howl's moving castle all over again with the design of those fortified flying castles. I must say that as I keep mentioning, the universe of Hitsugi no Chaika is amazing. I love the way they created that world and how everything is such great fantasy. Those giant flying fortresses which represent the great might of an empire. The supreme weapons of war which were used to kill the previous great emperor, those symbol of military might. How ironic that one of the two only remaining ones are in the hand of a sadistic little boy.
I find it quite interesting to see such a splendid flying stronghold being held in control by just 3 people. I wonder if it would always be so easy in such a universe to steal such powerful piece of technology. Which leads to the question, just who would steal something like that and for what purpose? After this episode it seems rather obvious that the objective of the little group is to create an army of their own using magic to subdue loyal soldiers, but for what purpose exactly? There seems to be another Chaika on board, so she is most likely related to the whole issue somewhat, but somehow this Chaika feels a bit off from the previous one we saw…she uses full sentences.
I don't know what to think of this new potential Chaika, but what I do know is that the little boy is such an awful villain. I just hate "bad guys" who are bad just for the sake of being bad. The kid was given no background except that he is cruel and like to hurt people for no reason. We didn't even got a chance to understand his madness even if just a bit, he just seems like a crazy bastard who killed his whole family and who is now being used by a yet just as crazy wizard. All I see here is a bunch of crazies who somehow never got arrested or killed in their many years of existence. To a certain degree I can perfectly understand how the wizard could have simply changed path now that the emperor is gone and he might be simply trying to restore the empire he was once a part of, but that kid has no place in this plan no matter how I look at it. He might have been useful in the beginning to get the authority needed to get everything started…but what use does he have now?
It seems that our heroes have entered a castle where men gets mind-controlled and women gets chopped into pieces and raped by the sadistic kid. This can't be true? There must be some actual reason for those thing to happen. So far every character was so dry, will those be just as dry too? I hope I am wrong in what I saw this episode and that there is much more to this, otherwise…all hope is lost.

By the time Olympic athletes arrive in Pyeongchang, South Korea, they have trained their bodies to near-perfection. But it's how well they've trained their minds that may determine who's more likely to take home a medal.
Many scientists who study athletic achievement adhere to the belief that sports are just 10% physical. The other 90% is mental.
"The physical aspect of the sport can only take you so far," gymnast and seven-time Olympic medalist Shannon Miller told The Dana Foundation in 2012. "In the Olympic games, everyone is talented. Everyone trains hard. Everyone does the work. What separates the gold medalists from the silver medalists is simply the mental game."
Experts at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine agree. And it's why three of the institution's leading researchers teamed up to discuss the "mind of a medalist."
They concluded that while some athletes are born with an innate tendency to win, others become better competitors by training their brains over time.
'Think fast!'
One of the most important things that separates the best from the rest is the sheer speed at which some athletes are able to make decisions.
"The brain is constantly bombarded with sensory information from multiple channels," said Christopher Fetsch, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins. This includes vision and hearing as well as sensors in the inner ear that relay information to your brain about your body's orientation and movement in space (more on this below).
Fetsch said Olympic athletes "are making split-second decisions on the order of one-10th of a second or less -- doing something that would probably take us more like half a second or up to a second to decide and act."
For example, in downhill skiing, a racer always plans his or her line but must be able to make instantaneous adjustments on the course.
"Perhaps you see a rut in the snow just ahead of you, and you have to make a quick correction that basically cancels out that expectation that you had of where to turn," Fetsch said. "The brain reaches an initial decision and then can kind of revise and cancel that out while the information is still flowing through the pipeline and hasn't quite reached the muscles yet."
But just because these athletes excel at their sport, it doesn't mean they will excel at everything, Fetsch said. "When the brain learns and is trained to a high level on a particular task, in general those skills don't transfer very well to other tasks" such as a different sport or even an office job.
Don't fall!
Ever wonder how figure skaters are able to maintain their balance as they perform spins and flips that would make most people dizzy?
Over time, as they train, skaters develop two primary methods for dealing with dizziness, said Kathleen Cullen, a professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins.
"One approach is something that a lot of people are familiar with, called spotting," Cullen said. "When they're done with their spinning, they actually fixate on a target in the arena, and they can anchor themselves to that and help themselves keep track of how they're moving in the world."
The other technique involves what Cullen refers to as the sixth sense: the vestibular system. It's a complex network of sensors in the inner ear that inform the brain how the head is rotating in time and space, as well as in what direction and how fast it is moving. Cullen said the vestibular system functions faster and is more reliable than vision.
"Once you stop spinning -- because you have these sensors that have fluid in them -- the fluid actually keeps moving because of its own inertia, and that gives a false sense of motion," Cullen said. "And this false sense of motion is something that people who practice spins all the time -- their brain actually undergoes this profound change where it learns over time to suppress that false input."
What's more, Cullen said, the brain builds complex internal models to predict "the sensory inflow that should occur when an athlete performs a particular type of routine."
The athlete can then adjust on the fly "in order to account for the mismatch between the sensory inflow they're experiencing and the sensory inflow they expected."
It's why -- and how -- the top finishers are always able to land on their feet.
'Don't choke!'
Every athlete in Pyeongchang wants to bring home the gold. As if that weren't incentive enough, consider the pride, satisfaction and potential endorsement deals that come along with it.
Vikram Chib, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins, studies how incentives motivate performance. Specifically, his research is focused on a section of the brain called the ventral striatum, an integral part of our reward system.
"What we found is that when people are getting ready to do the task that's on the line, they tend to encode the positive aspects of the rewards associated with winning," Chib said. "But when they're in the act of doing the task itself, they tend to become worried about the loss of those incentives."
In the context of the Olympic Winter Games, this could mean a hockey player is confident he or she will make shot up until the moment they shoot, at which point they may become rattled and choke under pressure.
Chib's advice is to create a level playing field -- in your head.
"Those people who have more flat (neural) activity, that aren't as responsive to incentives -- so they don't go very high for potential gains and very low for potential losses but instead kind of keep constant brain activity, regardless of the incentive -- those tend to be the ones that do better."
That is to say, if you can think about the potential loss ahead of time, you'll be better prepared -- and more likely -- to stay cool, calm and collected.
"They can disregard the fact that the stakes are high," Chib said, "and still come through with the performance that they've practiced all their life to achieve."

Monson Public Schools Educator Participates In Exclusive Professional Development Event From Discovery Education Focused on Using Technology To Support Student Achievement

Silver Spring, Md. (August 2, 2016) – Leni Boucher, a teacher at Granite Valley Middle School in Monson Public Schools, recently joined over 100 fellow educators from around the world for the 2016 DEN Summer Institute (DENSI), an immersive, week-long professional development experience. A global community of education professionals supported by Discovery Education, the Discovery Educator Network (DEN) connects members across school systems and around the world through social media, virtual conferences, and in-person events, fostering valuable networking, idea sharing, and inspiration. The six-day professional learning experience was held July 17-22 at Loyola University in Chicago, IL.
DENSI 2016 featured a number of interactive seminars and hands-on workshops designed to support educators as they combine the latest technologies and digital content to create authentic digital learning environments that engage students and improve achievement. In addition, DENSI provided an opportunity for participants to connect, collaborate, and share resources, ideas and strategies for integrating the latest technologies and digital content into classroom instruction.
"I am honored to have been selected to participate in DENSI 2016. This experience has helped me learn from and connect with other enthusiastic educators from around the world who share a passion for using the latest digital resources to enhance student learning," said Boucher. "I am excited to share these new, creative strategies and techniques for advancing student achievement with my colleagues."
Participation in the DEN Summer Institute is open to educators recognized by Discovery Education, the leading provider of digital content and professional development for K-12 classrooms, as STAR Discovery Educators.

"Her participation in DENSI 2016 will help increase student engagement across Monson Public Schools, and support her district's effort to prepare all learners with the critical skills they need to succeed beyond the classroom."
In addition to hearing from education experts, Boucher participated in a series of interactive workshops led by the Discovery Education professional development team and other DEN members about creating digital content and integrating mobile and web-based tools into instruction. Boucher also collaborated with fellow educators on a variety of educational technology projects, and shared ideas and best practices with her peers.

NEW RELEASE for the Queen of Regency
The talented and ever reigning Queen of Regency, Vonnie Hughes, just released her new Historical Romance novel that definitely isn't sweet. This unique book begins in Portugal as the Peninsular Wars rage on, and moves to England where the hero and heroine expect to find peace. They're in for a surprise.
Both of them are scarred by war; she because of the shattered men she nurses; he because of the loss of friends and the horrors he must endure daily.
Colwyn Hetherington has a chance to put it all behind him and return to England. Juliana Colebrook desperately wants to go to England to seek out her relatives. They take an almighty chance and travel together, setting in train a series of events that neither could have anticipated.
With only their love to sustain them, they clash head-on with the reality of England, 1813.
Vonnie was born in New Zealand, but she and her husband now live happily in Australia. If you visit Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand be sure to stroll through the Japanese Garden. These is a bronze plaque engraved with a haiku describing the peacefulness of that environment. The poem was written by Vonnie.
All of Vonnie's books are available at The Wild Rose Press and Amazon.
Learn more about Vonnie Hughes on her website and blog. Stay connected on Facebook and Goodreads.

Section 809 Panel: Taking Action on Acquisition Reform
Entry posted by Centre Law & Consulting ·
192 views
By Barbara Kinosky:
Congress's Section 809 Panel has made their first move on DoD acquisition system reform. The committee is made up of 18 experts in government contracts and is "charged with making recommendations that will shape DoD's acquisition system into one that is bold, simple, and effective." Yours truly testified before them. Section 809 Panel has the difficult job of thoroughly reviewing every DoD acquisition regulation ever written, and then conclude which regulations should remain active and which should be eliminated.
After a year of study, the panel has released its first report, containing 73 recommendations for procurement reform. This first volume focuses on commercial buying, contracts audits from DCAA, small business policy, and more. One of the top recommendations is to create a "mission driven" acquisition system to replace the current "process-oriented" system. The idea proposed by the panel is to grant DoD officials the ability to choose from various contracting procedures, so they may choose one that produces the best results for their mission.
A major takeaway from the report is the segmentation of the current acquisition process. The report defines these four "lanes" of procurement:
- Lane 1 – "Readily Available: This lane encompasses existing products and services that require no vendor customization to meet DoD's needs."
- Lane 2 – "Minor Customization: The second lane includes products and services that are primarily sold in the private sector, and for which DoD may be one of many potential buyers."
- Lane 3 – "Major Customization: This lane includes products and services for which DoD may be one of few potential buyers, and for which there may be little or no private‐sector applicability."
- Lane 4 – "Defense‐Specific Development: In this lane there is no private‐sector applicability, as the products and services are developed exclusively for defense‐related use."
Major missions outlined by the report:
- Commercial Buying – "Streamline and simplify DoD's access to the commercial market."
- Contract Compliance and Audit – "Improve the contract compliance and audit processes by focusing on the needs of contracting officers and acquisition team members."
- Small Business – "Refocus DoD's small business policies and programs to prioritize mission and advance warfighting capabilities and capacities."
The report outlines various other missions as well, and is only the first volume out of three – which will all cover the panels comprehensive examination of acquisition reform.

John Boehner was sworn in today as Speaker of the House,
so I guess I have to start paying attention to John Boehner now, so let's blog his stupid first speech as stupid speaker of the stupid House of Representatives.
NOT LIKE THOSE CRAPPY, LAZY ONES – I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MASSACHUSETTS'S SEVENTH DISTRICT: "I am honored and humbled to represent a great, hard-working community in Congress." (Note to any readers in Massachusetts 7th; I picked that number at random, I don't even know where you are, except probably in Massachusetts, I'm sure you're lovely, so no complaints please.)
YEAH, WE'RE ALL REALLY GRATEFUL, OHIO'S 8th: "The people of Ohio's Eighth Congressional District continue to afford me the privilege to serve, for which I am deeply grateful." And the privilege of leaving Ohio in the winter, or any time, really. (Note to Ohio... ah, screw it.)
BECAUSE THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE ROAD MAINTENANCE FUNDING, SO THE CAN WOULD JUST FALL INTO AN ENORMOUS POTHOLE: "No longer can we kick the can down the road."
BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK HUMBLE, YOU THINK JOHN ANDREW BOEHNER: "The American people have humbled us."
OR SELL IT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. "Our aim will be to give government back to the people."
SIZE DOESN'T MATTER: "We will dispense with the conventional wisdom that bigger bills are always better..."
NO PREMATURE LEGISLATION: "...that fast legislating is good legislating".
HE CAN SOMEHOW GET THROUGH THIS SENTENCE WITHOUT LAUGHING MANIACALLY, THAT'S WHY THEY GAVE HIM THE JOB: "Above all else, we will welcome the battle of ideas, encourage it, and engage in it openly, honestly, and respectfully."
OR EVER: "We will not always get it right."
THAT IDEA: I THINK I'LL HAVE SOME MORE NACHOS: "More than a country, America is an idea".
IT'S THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE? THAT'S GREAT, CUZ THE PEOPLE JUST GOT FORECLOSED ON: "Welcome to the people's House. Welcome to the 112th Congress."

Significant work remains in trade talks with China, according to a statement from U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer's office. President Trump has indicated a deal could be reached in the next four weeks, but the two sides offered little details regarding last week's meetings, according to Reuters.
Lighthizer says negotiation team members "will be in continuous contact to resolve outstanding issues." The most recent negotiations includedintellectual property, or IP, forced technology transfer, non-tariff barriers, agriculture, services, purchases and enforcement.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has previously said the negotiations could conclude with a doubling or tripling of U.S. ag exports to China. U.S. agriculture is impatiently waiting for the results of the talks which stem from the trade war enacted last year between the U.S. and China.
The talks are now expected to conclude sometime within the next few months, well beyond the original deadline set by President Trump of March first. However, Trump extended the deadline because the talks were making progress.

Ashton Jenion, 22, (above, centre) came through a series of rigorous trials, physical tests and mental examinations to be included in Team Great Britain's 20-man Ice Hockey team for The FISU World Winter University Games in Trentino, Italy, next month.
Playing as a Defenceman for the Coventry NIHL Blaze in the NIHL Laidler Conference, Ashton has extensive experience of high intensity hockey – but he was surprised by how hard the trials were.
He said: "The trials were really tough. I had to go through five sessions over numerous weekends in Nottingham. It was fairly high pressure because they wanted to see the level of your ability, how you command the ice. This was on top of training twice a week for Coventry Blaze in Coventry and studying for my Construction Project Management degree at Aston.
When I found out I'd been selected I was extremely happy, proud and excited to go. It's a massive event and will be a great challenge
"When I found out I'd been selected I was extremely happy, proud and excited to go. It's a massive event and will be a great challenge. I'm friends with quite a few of the team already, having played against them with Coventry. We've got a good squad and we are going to work as hard as we can."
At Aston University, Ashton is involved in various sporting societies and is a University Sports Scholar, receiving a grant from Sports Aston to support him in snowboarding and ice hockey events. The grant can be used for equipment and travel costs and for training aims and dietary supplements.
On behalf of the University, Ashton has competed at numerous sporting events across Europe, including the finals of a snowboarding tournament in the French Alps. He is also captain of the Aston's Snowsport Squad, which currently teaches around 45 people to ski and snowboard each week at the indoor Snowdown complex in Tamworth.
Ashton said: "I'm really grateful for the University helping me out, as well as DSM Demolition who sponsor me to play for Coventry and a lady called Philippa Lynch. Their support has helped me compete in European tournaments, like the Winter Universiade. It's going to be great and I know my parents are planning to come out to cheer me on – they're not going to miss out on this."
"Back at home, my mates in the Snowsport Squad have organised viewings of our matches in the student union's B4 Bar. Hopefully, we can give them something to cheer."
The Winter Universiade is the biggest global multi-sports event for student athletes and is staged every two years in a different city.
Team GB's Hockey squad have been drawn in the same group as Russia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Their matches will be televised on Eurosport from 11 December.

President John Mahama has been touting the benefits of the Ghana National Single Window (GNSW) initiative, announcing that its introduction has seen a 14.8percent rise in revenue collection by the Ghana Revenue Authority since September 2015 when it was introduced.
According to him, the GNSW is a positive development for international trade operations and that it will position the country achieve its vision of a diversified economy, effective revenue collection and deploying a transparent process to support the country's approach to good governance policies.
Launching the Ghana Import Export and Transit Process Manual, a document to guide the shipping community about the various trade processes, in Accra, the president urged stakeholders to ensure that the Single Window initiative delivers to 'global standards'.
"Today here in Ghana, trade facilitation has been enhanced with a 57percent increase in volume of goods processed at the Customs Services Bureau and revenue collection has improved and become more efficient with a 14.8percent increase in collections over the period. These are successes we must encourage and replicate in other sectors of the economy," he said.
President Mahama indicated that one year on, the project "was not just a bold decision but has proven to be successful as well, with waiting time and approval for classification reduced to two days from two weeks."
He explained that the launch of the manual would help the country to, over the next five years, achieve reduction in overall administrative time by 50percent and the cost of trading internationally by 25percent.
"This will have a very dramatic impact on our international investment competitiveness, with direct impact on our domestic economic situation, offering up much more job opportunities and improved living standards for our people".
Commissioner General of the Ghana Revenue Authority, George Blankson, welcomed the Customs Division takeover from the Destination Inspection Companies (DIC).
Mr Blankson stated that the transfer has provided for the adoption of a superior technology and approach to performance of their functions.
The Commissioner General also stated that the Pre Arrival Assessment Reporting System (PAARS), introduced as a new tool for classification, evaluation and risk management, provides for processing, declaration even before the arrival of goods, saving time and resources for the importer.
The Single Window is expected to, in the long term, have a huge impact on the international competitiveness of local businesses by reducing the time spent by importers and exporters in securing documentation. It would also increase the country's global ranking in the "Trading across Borders Report" from the current position of 171 in 2016 to 121 by 2021.
The GNSW project was initiated on 1st September 2015 by government to enhance the country's trade and economic development and secure and increase government revenue.
It is estimated that the implementation of the proposals in the strategic plan would save the economy over US$ 120 million annually, aside reducing the time and complexity for doing international trade.
The GNSW services are delivered through the Ghana Trading Hub 7 and complemented by other service-delivery programmes, such as by the Customs Technical Services Bureau (CTSB), as well as by an import, export and transit process manual.

'This is not a male thing or a female thing. It is not a Hollywood thing or a political thing. It is a human thing.' – Ellen DeGeneres
I was 10 years old. My dad was working full-time in order to pay the bills whilst my mum was in hospital having treatment for breast cancer. My grandparents were taking care of us – they would pick my siblings and I up from school and take us back to their house where they would let us watch Disney Channel and play with their doll house and eat chicken nuggets and chips for dinner. Once a week, they would drive me straight from school to my music lesson where I would stay for half an hour before returning to theirs for dinner.
But what I learnt in that class wasn't about chords or the right order in which to press the keys to play Edelweiss. Instead I learnt about how it felt to have someone else's hands in places no one had ever touched before, places that you never asked them to touch. I learnt what it feels like to know something is wrong but not knowing why or how to tell anyone. Because after all, who wants to tell a 10 year old girl about paedophilia.
I wish I could say that it stopped there. That I quit music lessons and suddenly my consent was always sought before a wandering hand laid itself upon my skin. But it didn't. And for so many others, it didn't stop at a wandering hand. I was lucky in that respect. But I shouldn't have to say I was lucky because I wasn't raped. It should be a human right not to have someone force themselves upon you when you have not consented. No means no, no matter the circumstances.
No matter who you are, no matter what you were wearing or how long it was before you told them no, it was not your fault. It is never your fault. They are and always will be, a rapist, and you are a survivor.

Swizz Beatz tweeted some photos of Drake and himself in the lab. Jay-Z and recent signee Timbaland dropped by as well.
Despite spawning a very successful single and video, not much is known about Drake's Nothing Was The Same. All we can confirm is that the YMCMB rapper is currently in the process of recording it, and it is due out later this year. Taking a few photos, Swizz Beatz has given us a look behind the scenes with Drake, who he was reportedly recording some material with when Jay-Z and his recent Roc Nation signee Timbaland came through the studio.
No confirmation on where the collaboration will live, but it's certainly promising to see these four artists in the lab together. Check out the photos in the gallery above.
Take a listen to Drake's last collabo with Swizz, "Fancy (Remix)".

Some people living near wind farms in northeastern B.C. say their health has been negatively impacted by the turbines and a new scientific study might support those claims.
Gary Levesque, who lives near the Bear Mountain Windpark just outside of Dawson Creek, says his health has been negatively impacted by wind turbines near his home.
"As soon as they went up and got running, my blood pressure went up. My wife has migraine headaches and suffers from depression. My daughter suffers from depression," Levesque says.
A newly published study in the Journal of Noise and Health suggests the Levesque family is not alone.
The study compared two groups of people living in Maine, and found those living near wind turbines had worse sleep and more mental health concerns than those living further away, said co-author Jeff Aramini.
"Roughly half of the individuals were categorized as being at risk for clinical depression – so, half of those close – compared to only seven per cent of people living further than three kilometres," Aramini told CBC news.
The findings come as Health Canada is conducting its own study of the health impacts of wind farms. The results are expected in 2014.

YARA SHAHIDI, OF ABC's BLACK-ISH; FABRIZIO FREDA, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE ESTÉE LAUDER COMPANIES; AND TRAILBLAZERS KIMBERLEY HATCHETT OF MORGAN STANLEY AND SHERRIE WESTIN OF SESAME WORKSHOP TO BE HONORED BY YOUNG WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP NETWORK (YWLN) FOUNDED BY ANN TISCH
Young Women's Leadership Network (YWLN), founded by public education reformer and advocate Ann Tisch, will celebrate a stellar line-up of distinguished individuals at its (Em)Power Breakfast on October 15, 2015 at 7:30 a.m. at Cipriani on 42nd Street.
2015 (Em)Power honorees include Yara Shahidi, who plays "Zoey" on ABC's new hit show Black-ish; Fabrizio Freda, President and CEO of The Estée Lauder Companies; Kimberley Hatchett, Executive Director at Morgan Stanley and among Barron's Top 100 Women Financial Advisors; and Sherrie Westin, Executive Vice President of Global Impact and Philanthropy at Sesame Workshop.
"We are thrilled to celebrate such distinguished honorees and applaud their commitment to educational access and young women's leadership development," said YWLN Founder Ann Tisch.
Nearly twenty years ago, in 1996, The Young Women's Leadership School (TYWLS) of East Harlem made history as the first single-sex public school to open in the United States in more than 30 years. YWLN now supports a network of five high-performing schools serving more than 2,200 girls in New York City. Alumnae from The Young Women's Leadership Schools achieve four-year college degrees at nearly triple the rate of their peers. Its academically rigorous program, which has strong social-emotional supports, integrates the best practices of all-girls education with effective strategies that address the array of challenges faced by low-income students.
The success of YWLN's girls' schools has inspired the opening of dozens of single-sex schools nationwide, including 12 affiliates in Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, and Texas. "We are both humbled and proud that The Young Women's Leadership Schools continue to be a model for single-gender public schools across the country," said Tisch.
Proceeds from the event, which will be attended by more than 700 guests, will support YWLN's efforts to offer inner-city girls a first rate education and help them achieve their college-going dreams.

A whistleblower CIA operative has broken ranks to alert the world to a coming catastrophe. Dr. Fritz Measure, an astrophysicist who once worked on the infamous HAARP project spoke at his hideout in Canada.
The CIA has since declared the program redundant but not according to Dr. Measure. He claims that Ionic Lasering Space stations orbit the earth that are fifty times more powerful than the original ground transmitter in Alaska that is used to heat the ionosphere.
"All that baloney about global warming was just a front to con the public and to get Congress to secretly fund their space programs," said Fritz.
The doctor seemed nervous and distraught as he spoke to our reporter. He had spent twelve years building what he claimed were orbiting "earth control lasers" and took great care to explain what they meant.
"We can operate these gizmos at will from NASA," he claimed. "Last week we gave Ireland a tornado, the first in its recorded history. All those nuclear reactors going down in Russia and Japan... that's us too. Remember the birds falling out of the sky in their thousands?... us. Tsunamis and hurricanes, earthquakes and climatic shifts... mostly us. Millions of dead fish washed up?... us. Schools of whales washed up mysteriously on beaches?... us. Crops failing everywhere?... us. We can control the food supplies of nations from outer space and he who controls the food supply controls all."
"But surely all that is conspiracy theory...." asked our reporter.
"Ha! That is an idea they planted in people's brains as a deterrent to intelligent scrutiny. There is no such thing as an "insane conspiracy theory" only sane speculation. Conspiracy theories don't actually exist; they are just ideas. There are only conspiracy facts. And this is one of them."
Dr. Fritz helped himself to another glass from the bottle of bourbon he had demanded in exchange for the interview. Then, in a broken voice , he repeated the message he had broadcast on Twitter and which led to his fleeing from the CIA research bunker in Arizona, where he had been living and working, and making his way North:
"The technology is top secret, been developed for the power elites who aim to take control of the world. Far out stuff like you wouldn't believe. Computers are power man. Changed everything. Every country has its mega-wealthy, liberal, power-mongers. They get together every so often to protect their interests.
"Ever hear of Bilderberg? That's just one, the one they want you to know about. There are smaller, more powerful cabals that meet on a regular basis. That's where HAARP really comes from; the American tax dollar has paid for the whole shebang.
"The technology is a hundred years ahead of anything the public knows about. I've seen it. I've worked on some of it. 9/11 was just an experiment to test how our PR Agency, the American media, would handle it.
"They did better than their controllers imagined. Even those who know it was an inside job were paralyzed into doing zilch about it and made to look like dumb-ass conspiracy theorists by their men at the top if they raised questions about the White House version of events. That means..."
Fritz's hands shook as the glass vibrated against his teeth and whiskey dribbled down his beard.
"That means... Operation Muggles Massacre will go ahead! The world will be depopulated with the help of governments everywhere. Remember the cloning experiments they did with sheep? Didn't stop there, nooo waaay... too easy, sheep can't fire a gun or mend a busted tire. They have cloned humans!!.. except they are not really humans... they are half human, half animal and half machine.
"Hollywood has been preparing you all and you didn't know. Star Trek, Independence Day, The Terminator, Aliens, Men in Black... from as far back as Mork and Mindy... need we go on? They intend... they... they will land a flying saucer on the White House Lawn. Every television set in the world will receive a transmission from its captain, just as the movies from as far back as War of the Worlds predicted they would!
"Then one of our gizmos circling the earth will... will vaporize the Statue of Liberty. At that moment the crew of the saucer will make themselves visible so that everybody will know they are real. And they will scare the bejasus out of the human race because of what they look like... just like the fictional creatures from Rockwell. But they are not real, they are man-made. Millions will panic around the world and governments everywhere will call on the USA to help them.
"O'Bama, fearless hero of the hour, will enter into negotiations with them. And a bunch of phony films made in Hollywood by Spielberg will be flashed up on screens around the world claiming to be top secret footage of real flying saucers that NASA had known about all along but were always afraid of making public to avoid mass panic. Then, there will be no doubt and the human race will fall on its knees and pray for God to intervene.
"The extra-terrestrials will demand mass exterminations to be carried out in all countries beginning with Africa. That is how they hope to bring into existence the One World Government. And that is why I am sitting here, in a Canadian motel, shit-scared, with an empty bottle."

Here is a Twitter fun take on Narayan Murthy's comeback to Infy at Rs. 1.
Karthik Srinivasan (@beasttrall): Tell me Airtel doesn't have a hand in Narayana Murthy and Rohan Murthy getting Rs.1 token salary.
Keh Ke Peheno (@coolfunnytshirt): It's now up to ACP Pradyuman to find out who cracked the 'Narayana Murthy / Salary Rs 1 / Airtel Video' joke first..
Vivek Mishra (@vivekhr): Rs 1 pkg for Narayanmurty? Under GOI definition he is BPL
Ishita Vaidya (@Mindswish): Rs 1 is in trends. Then what about @kamaalrkhan who always tweets bad about #2rsppl. He should feel jealous about it.
Amit Malviya (@malviyaamit): This token salary of Rs 1 is a great idea, especially when someone else opts for it ! 🙂 #Infosys
Varun Taneja (@varuntaneja09): And I thought Rs 1 trend was another petrol price shoot UP !
And how could BCCI be kept out of anything.
Keh Ke Peheno (@coolfunnytshirt): N Srinivasan: Whats the big deal with Narayana Murthy.. Even i am ready to stay on as BCCI boss for a token compensation of Rs 1 per year.
Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj): While it will certainly boost morale at Infy, don't you feel that there's another board that needed Narayan Murthy even more..
Soumik Sen (@bangdu): BCCI couldn't get Narayan Murthy on its board because when he asked for Rs1 they thought he wanted to go out and toss the coin.
Mocking Now (@mockingnow): Narayana Murthy as Executive Chairman at Infy will get Rs 1 per year. Sanjay Dutt as a prisoner in jail would earn more than Rs 9000 a year.
Picture used belongs to its maker on the internet. We are grateful for being able to use it.

After long hours at the job, I would drive the highways home at night, put my son to bed and start painting. The night cityscape became my muse as that was the landscape I witnessed.

In his introduction to this surprisingly powerful book, Tim Lynch writes that "any attempt to challenge received wisdom will inevitably be criticised by some as 'rewriting history', although those who condemn 'revisionist' history seem at a loss to explain why history must be carved in stone and why new information should be ignored." Tim Lynch certainly sets himself up for such criticism in this frank, and no doubt to some, painful investigation into one aspect of what has become one of the most celebrated actions of Operation Market Garden – the crossing of the River Waal.
After each major naval or combined operation of the Second World War the Admiralty published a 'Battle Summary' which provided a thorough and highly detailed description of the entire operation. The objectives of the summaries were to inform selected individuals of the successes and failures highlighted in the action so that lessons could be learnt for future operations. Access to the summaries was, therefore, restricted at the time and distributed only to selected individuals.
Though the Battle Summaries have been available to the general public through the National Archives for some years, the production of Hunting Tirpitz marks the first time that any of these documents have been published in their entirety.
Following the outbreak of the Second World War, His Exalted Highness the Nizam of Hyderbad paid for a squadron of eighteen Spitfires. At £5,000 each, this represented the sum of £90,000 – a considerable amount in 1939. The squadron badge was the Nizam's headdress but its aircraft were painted with the image of a large black cat leaping over an RAF roundel on the port side. The Black Panthers were born.
As someone who has spent a considerable time walking battlefields around the UK and much further afield, I know only too well the value of good guide books. In the main, the Pen and Sword Battleground series is very good, and this latest publication, Walking D-Day, maintains that high standard.
Walking D-Day is a little larger than most of the books in the series and it covers a lot of ground, both figuratively and geographically. Unlike others which deal exclusively with specific locations relating to the Normandy invasion, such as Pegasus Bridge, Merville Battery and the individual invasion beaches, Paul Reed's book attempts to guide us across the entire Normandy battlefield. So, as well as detailing walks along the sites mentioned above, including Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah beaches, the book also takes us round locations such as Arromanches and the Mulberry harbour, Pointe du Hoc and Ste-Mère-Eglise.

Time flies and this week has been too full of work and stuff to post but last weekend was great.
Winnipeg is an interesting city. It is definitely bigger than Saskatoon but also definitely smaller than Calgary. It feels more like Saskatoon than Calgary. I don't really know why but maybe it is just the prairie feel to it. I think I like Winnipeg for that reason.
In any case, I had a good time there last weekend. I got there, rented a car and drove to the York hotel. In the afternoon, before Leo was done his courses, I wandered around downtown in the mall. Found a McNally Robinson store – succumbed to my biggest temptation there and came away with a couple new books.
That evening was Leo's induction into the College of Family Physicians as a Fellow. Gowns and hoods, pin and certificate and new letters to put behind his name FCFP. He works hard to keep his knowledge current so he deserves it – and he loves it!
After all the pomp and circumstance, we had a nice visit with Mr. Daley who was made an honorary member of the college. He is another guy who has worked hard in the field of physical activity promotion and received the Order of Canada. He was wearing his medal so we got to check that out close up.
Then we went in to a performance by Chantal Kreviazuk. She is amazing really, performing up on stage from the piano which she plays as she sings – no other back-up – with a voice that is powerful and clear. And to us it was just a bit special that she had just returned the day before from Ethiopia where she travelled with War Child International. She brought back some stories and then called up an 11 year old girl, Hannah Bennet I think was her name, who has raised a tremendous amount of money for the homeless. Chantal donated $5000 to her and this was matched by the College of Family Physicians and the Scotia Bank.
The next day we spent with friends – first of all at Faith Covenant, then with Chantelle(my niece, not the singer) and friends and then met Jamie and Kim Arpin-Ricci for a really good visit. We still had a bit of time left so we drove down to the legislature and wandered among the bears in the park.

Driving home from the skytrain station today it was raining with snow mixed in.
They say we are going to have a cold winter but so far it has been a no coat fall for me.
I look forward to snow and hope that we have some snowed in days this year.
I was trying to find a picture of snow for this story but there aren't any from 2009.
That was the year of the Olympics so of course it was a very mild winter.
I did find this picture although its a bunch of years ago.

Wow, I don't think I have experienced this combination of favors before in a tea. I'm so glad I ordered this, but I'm not so glad that I ordered only one ounce!
As I filled my 4 oz. gaiwan with 4-5 teaspoons, I could smell a mix of Big Red Robe with a dark fruitiness in the dry leaves. Since this came from the WuYi region, I was very curious as to how similar this would taste to Verdant's Big Red Robe, which is known for its robust taste and vibrating texture.
After the rinse, I closed my eyes as I took the first infusion to my lips. When the tea hit my tongue, I literally thought I was drinking a whole milk cream with a distinct vanilla and sugar flavor. I was so convinced I just had to open my eyes and realize I was drinking a non-flavored Shui Xian. I couldn't believe it. I also have been consistently noticing the notes of banana in the aftertaste, which I am quite fond of.
I am currently on my fifth steeping, and the favors have shifted a bit. The vanilla is more pronounced in the front, without the sugariness of the first two steepings. On this cup and the one before, I also started picking up on a particular flavor of marshmellow or perhaps the waffle cone (as mentioned on Verdant's site) on the aftertaste with the banana. It tastes a little nutty as well.
Before I steeped this stuff, I watched David's video on brewing it. One thing he mentioned is that it is a much lighter WuYi roast than it's BRR counterpart. This is true, and I love it for that! As much as I loved Verdant's BRR, I felt it's strong flavor and texture fit cold seasons well, but not as much for warmer, brighter seasons. This Shui Xian fills that gap perfectly. This tea is great for cold nights, sunny seasons, and relaxing evenings after a long day at work. Given the vanilla flavor, this would definitely be a nice treat for a couple enjoying a date night, too!
Now where this tea reaches the stars with flavor, it's texture is also on the lighter side. However, I did not find this to be an issue at all as this stuff is just so dang easy to drink up. I'm sure with an open mind and a curiosity for sweeter-tasting teas, you'll be happy when drinking Shui Xian as it takes you to a sweet, tranquil state of mind.

Clat-2018 is done and dusted. Congratulations to the ones who have been allotted an NLU. With the fourth list on the horizon, there are quite a few of you who still hold the hope of making it to the cut off's. Even if you don't make it to the cut off's there is a chance that you can get an NLU or upgrade your college via vacancy. There have been a lot of queries related to the vacancy process and we would try to clear some air around the same, as we understand that a good institute is all that the students long for and would not want to miss any opportunity to get the same.
Let us first understand the reason behind the vacancies. Vacancies are released against the seats for which students fail to show up, withdraw their admission or unable to complete the admission formalities as required. They are released on the website of respective universities after the session starts and you have to make an attempt to get any information about the same. Those who are willing to give vacancies a shot, be vigilant and keep a check on the official university websites.
The process through which it works is as follows -:
Step 1- After the completion of the Clat Admission Procedure, respective NLUs put up a notice on their website regarding vacancies. It mentions the number of seats vacant in different categories. In some NLUs, they also give cut off marks. Students having CLAT scores below that won't be considered for the process.
Step 2– Different Universities have different procedures for filling vacancies. One may only ask to send an e-mail to apply along with the scorecard, while other Universities may ask for payment of some fee along with the relevant documents. You have to do the process as guided by the respective NLUs on their websites.
Step 3- After the last day to apply, the University releases the list of candidates and a rank list of those who have applied, it is done as early as possible due to obvious reasons.
Step 4- The candidates who have been selected in different NLU's would have to withdraw their admission in the NLU allotted previously if any. Now, usually what the college gives a notice on their websites in which the last date is mentioned to withdraw your admission. If the candidates withdraw their admission within that date then the administration will refund the amount. Only relevant deductions will be made on the count of mess charges, electricity, internet along with some other heads. Rest amount is reimbursed, mode of which can be inquired with the University management.
Step 5- Candidates selected need to take all the documents mentioned as required for admission on the date given by the university and do the admission process all over again.
Step 6– After the completion of the admission process via vacancy if any seats are still vacant in the respective NLUs then they either release a second list based on the merit list (CLAT ranks) of people who had applied for vacancy or they again release a fresh notice for vacancy, in that case you need to apply again according to the prescribed instruction given by the NLU.
Usually, Vacancies are completely unpredictable like CLAT and there is no guarantee or sure shot way to tell you that you will make it to a specific college. As MNLU-Mumbai had such high cut off's last year many people switched from MNLU- Mumbai to other NLU's like NLUJ, GNLU, NLIU, HNLU etc.
Which makes it important for you to keep a track of the admission process and the University you prefer. The odds are that tier 2 universities may see their vacancy seats going more than 200 ranks above the usual cutoff, which would give you a good opportunity to upgrade your university, even after the session starts. Also, these Universities require the candidate of a representative to be present during the counselling process which is a sine qua non for securing the seat.
A lot of odds play a role and many students, who already are enrolled in the university are not able to leave their college or send any relative, which increases your chance. So, someone representing you at the counselling is important.
All these factors make predicting a rank range for college in vacancies really tough. One way to analyse your chances of securing a seat in vacancies is to note a general trend across the year. Go to other websites to gather the final allotment list and check the last rank at which the university was allotted, you might see someone with much lower rank in the same category. He/she in all probability has got the admission against vacant seat. Draw a general observation analyse your chances.
All the best, Hope you do well in your Law School as well!

While I'm not quite up to collecting art, I'm very much into collecting fashion (hint, wink Net-a-Porter!). So, as art season kicks into high gear here in New York City, it's only fitting that Alexander McQueen has chosen today to debut its collaboration with the masterful contemporary artist Damien Hirst.
Hirst, who is known for works of art that express the fragility of life and nature, has partnered with the fashion house on a series of 30 scarves to mark the 10th anniversary of its skull scarf. The scarf patterns are based on Hirst's "Entomology" series of paintings and meld the artist's icons with McQueen ones—from butterflies and insects to, yes, skulls.
Here's your first look at Damien Hirst and Alexander McQueen Scarf Collection:
They are available for purchase and perusing here. And if you're interested in seeing more works by Damien Hirst, check out these works being auctioned today at Christie's.
Damien Hirst, Inviolability, 2007
Damien Hirst, Ethanol, 2007
Kind of cool, right? Do you like Damien Hirst's paintings? Do you think artists and fashion designers make for good collaborators?
