Industry News – Wednesday 18th May 2016
Simon Townsend – we'll have ten 'managed expert' pubs open by September: Enterprise Inns chief executive Simon Townsend has told Propel the company experts to have ten "managed expert" pubs open by September – six with Hippo Inns, led by Rupert Clevely, two with Laine Pub Company and two with Karen Jones' Food & Fuel business. The business model operates as a stand-alone joint venture. Townsend said the company was engaged in a "number of conversations" with other multi-site operators but it was "important that Enterprise sees a pipeline of opportunities (within the estate) with each of them" before signing a deal. Meanwhile, the company is to launch a new Partnership Tenancy Plus agreement in its second half. The new agreement will see Enterprise take on "even more responsibility" for repairs but also make a commitment to match-fund investment by licensees. Townsend reiterated that the company expects to be running an estate of 4,200 pubs by 2030, down from the current estate size of just less than 5,000 pubs – the estate will comprise circa 1,000 pubs let on commercial terms, 750 to 850 managed pubs, and the remainder let as traditional tenancies and leases.
Owner of Red Hot World Buffet in Liverpool charged with breaching hygiene standards for third time in 13 months: The owner of Red Hot World Buffet in Liverpool has been charged with breaching hygiene standards for the third time in 13 months. It had already admitted failings that allowed mice to roam the Liverpool ONE venue in both January and September of last year. But court documents have revealed it has been hit with five new charges all relating to 18 March. They are mouse droppings found in the ground-floor kitchen and bar, gaps in the structure allowing mice to enter the premises, dirty ground-floor equipment and surfaces, mice "active" in food preparation areas causing a risk of contamination, and expired ham and chicken slices found in the restaurant's freezer, reports the Liverpool Echo. The owner admitted to seven food hygiene breaches at Liverpool magistrates' court in February that allowed mice to be present on the premises. It came after the closure of a number of restaurants in Liverpool ONE earlier this year. Casual Dining Group brand Las Iguanas and Azzurri Group-owned Zizzi were shut temporarily for hygiene reasons after evidence of mice was found on the upper tier of the complex. And YO! Sushi and Nando's closed their doors in a move also sparked by concerns about mice.
Starbucks issues first US corporate sustainability bond: Starbucks has completed the underwriting of an initial public offering of senior notes, including the first US corporate sustainability bond. The company said it would use the proceeds from $500m in 2.45% senior notes due in 2026, to help enhance the company's sustainability programmes centred around its coffee supply chain management through a variety of eligible sustainability projects. The initiatives include coffee purchases from third-party suppliers that comply with Starbucks' ethical sourcing verification programme of coffee and farmer equity practices, as well as the development and operation of farmer support centres in coffee-growing regions. In addition, the proceeds will be used to help facilitate short and long-term loans made through the company's Global Farmer Fund. Chief financial officer Scott Maw said: "Coffee is at the core of our business, and we intend to continue to finance initiatives that will make a positive social and environmental impact in our coffee supply chain as well as other areas across our business. Issuing a bond focused on sustainable sourcing demonstrates that sustainability is not just an add-on, but an integral part of Starbucks, including our strategy and finances." Starbucks said it ethically sourced its coffee every year by supporting coffee farming communities, assisting in efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change, and maintaining crop stability and farm sustainability in developing countries. Currently, Starbucks operates a network of eight Farmer Support Centres in Rwanda, Tanzania, Guatemala, Colombia, China, Ethiopia, Costa Rica and Indonesia.
Chilango, Craft Beer Co and The Breakfast Club among tenants as final line-up at Boxpark in Croydon revealed: Boxpark has revealed the final line-up of food and drink outlets set to fill the pop-up mall opening next to East Croydon station. The company confirmed the development would open in September with 41 retailers on the site at Ruskin Square. Alongside anchor tenant MeatLiquor will be The Breakfast Club as well as Craft Beer Co and Mexican restaurant Chilango, which has secured a unit for its first south London outlet. The development will also house street food sellers Mama Lan, which will serve Chinese fare while there will be Indian from Indi-go. Boxpark Croydon will be dedicated to street food and entertainment unlike the original site in Shoreditch, which also includes retail. There will also be a number of Croydon outlets at the scheme. Yumn Brasserie, which has a restaurant in South End, will offer a British menu with a twist and Breadtree will bring a taste of Italy with its authentic bruschetta. The Cronx, Croydon's local brewery, will launch its first beer bottle shop in Boxpark. Brgr&Beer, opened in Matthews Yard one year ago, will be branching out to open Wine&Deli. Also taking residence in the new development will be cafe Mud, Fish Wings & Tings, and Viet Do An run by Kate Moss' brother Nick. Boxpark development director Matthew McMillan told the Croydon Advertiser: "We are delighted to have some of the capital's freshest and most exciting food concepts alongside brilliant local operators bursting with new ideas. With a core focus on the best street food around, Boxpark Croydon will be without doubt London's most vibrant new dining destination."
Crafted Projects submits plans for £2.5m destination development in Newcastle city centre: Ladhar Group's leisure division Crafted Projects has submitted plans for a rooftop cinema, bars and restaurants as part of a destination development in Newcastle city centre. Ladhar has spent several years working with conservation and heritage teams, Newcastle City Council and BID company NE1 to perfect the plans. The £2.5m project – White Hart Yard – covers more than 30,000 square feet of listed property between Grey Street and Cloth Market. The redevelopment would eventually encompass five floors and at least nine different zones. Works would be carried out at six buildings in Cloth Market to create a series of bars and restaurants, including units for pop-ups, nightclub zones and event spaces. Most of the required planning permission for the phase one, ground-floor work has been acquired in advance, which would feature two bars and a large, paved outside terrace. Link bridges connecting the zones are also planned. A design and heritage statement submitted by architects ID Partnership stated: "The vision from Crafted Projects is to provide an excellent reuse of these heritage buildings to provide a new city venue that will rival other regeneration projects as far afield as Borough Market in London." Crafted Projects said the White Hart Yard scheme, once complete, would create up to 180 jobs. Last year, Crafted Projects spent £500,000 on its gin palace Pleased To Meet You in High Bridge. The company also operates the Cleaver and Redhouse in Newcastle Quayside and is creating a Neapolitan-inspired pizza and cocktail venue – Central Oven and Shaker – at the city's Central Station.
Dunkin' Donuts makes first foray into north west England with Liverpool opening: US doughnut company Dunkin' Donuts has made its first foray into the north west of England by opening a site in Liverpool. The company has opened the store in the food court at the St John's Shopping Centre, reports Click Liverpool. It is open seven days a week and serves the company's full menu of doughnuts, coffees, lattes, baked goods and breakfast snacks. Massachusetts-headquartered Dunkin' Donuts operates a global network of more than 11,400 sites. Founded more than 60 years ago, the company sells about 1.8 billion drinks and 2.8 billion doughnuts every year.
Bernardi's owners to launch The Dog House basement cocktail bar: Gabriel and Marcello Bernardi, former executives of central London gastro-pub operator Cubitt House, will open a cocktail bar – The Dog House – underneath their Marylebone restaurant Bernardi's. The cocktail bar will have a "playful, relaxed look and feel, decorated in a rich colour palette of dark greys and blues to contrast with the light and airy feel of the upstairs restaurant", The Handbook reports. Access to the new bar will be via the restaurant or a separate entrance in Seymour Place, with the space featuring banquette seating around the walls and a number of smaller, more intimate tables, as well as stools at the bar. The Dog House will open on Friday, 10 June. The 120-cover restaurant and bar Bernardi's offers a seasonal Italian menu, with dishes including tarragon gnocchi with rabbit ragu, broad beans and pancetta, and salted cod with white polenta, peperonata and sorrel. The Bernardis, who are of Italian descent but born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, played a key role in the establishment and success of the Cubitt House group.
Silk Road-inspired Samarkand restaurant set for summer launch in Fitzrovia: Samarkand, a restaurant inspired by the Silk Road and offering cuisine from Uzbekistan, will open in Fitzrovia this summer. The 150 square metre restaurant in Charlotte Street, on the former site of Spanish tapas restaurant Fino, will serve traditional Uzbek dishes, with a contemporary touch, for lunch and dinner seven days a week. The venue will feature a 130-cover dining room, with a 70 square foot mezzanine lounge bar serving an extensive selection of vodkas. Founder Sanjar Nabiev will take influence from his childhood to offer a modern take on Uzbek cuisine. Signature dishes will include jizbiz (lamb chops with sautéed potatoes), fatinon (a flaky, buttery bread), somsa (pastry parcels filled with lamb or sweet potato) and plov (fried rice with lamb and vegetables) – served alongside a shot of vodka. In addition, there will be a selection of bar snacks such as pickled vegetables and baclajan (aubergine caviar) on offer. Nabiev said: "I'm delighted to showcase the fusion of cultures and food the Silk Road has to offer. With cuisines so rarely showcased and interiors inspired by one of the oldest inhabited cities, we feel Samarkand will be a unique addition to London's diverse culinary scene."
Italian-American craft beer and kitchen concept Mason & Company to launch at Canalside: An Italian-American craft beer and kitchen concept – Mason & Company – will launch in June at the new Canalside food quarter at Here East in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford. Mason & Company is the brainchild of independent brewery The Five Points Brewing Company and street food company Capish?, which are both based in Hackney. The new venue is set to open on Friday, 10 June. Capish? began selling New York-style Italian food at Roman Road market in the East End in December 2012. The Canalside dining and drinking area is opposite the artists' studios of Hackney Wick and will house 12 outlets in total, marking the latest phase in the reinvention of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Canalside, overlooking the Lee Canal, is part of the Here East complex on the site of the £300m former press and broadcast centre, housing BT Sport, a new Loughborough University campus, and a giant data centre.
Patisserie Valerie to open first Northern Ireland site next week: Patisserie Valerie, the company that has sector investor Luke Johnson as executive chairman, will open its first site in Northern Ireland next week. The company is opening the outlet in Donegal Square, Belfast, creating 25 jobs. It will offer the brand's patisserie and cake range, which are handmade by bakers on site. Chief executive Paul May told the Belfast Telegraph: "We're really excited about opening our Belfast cafe, especially as it's our first to open in Northern Ireland. Customers have been asking us to come to the city for a long time, our store in Belfast is just the start of our expansion into Northern Ireland, where we hope to open more stores in the future." Patisserie Valerie, launched in 1926 in Soho, London, by Belgian-born Madame Valerie, has more than 110 sites throughout the UK.
London-based smokehouse restaurant Rök to open second site in Islington: London-based smokehouse restaurant concept Rök is set to open its second site in Islington. The concept, which was launched in Shoreditch, is opening the 60-seat venue in Upper Street on Friday, 1 July. Rök Islington will launch with a seasonal summer menu by executive chef Matt Young featuring aged beef rump with creamed cows curd and sorrel vinegar, guinea fowl with semi-cured pork belly and butter-poached wild vegetables, and dark chocolate mousse with espresso sorbet and malted crumb, reports Hot Dinners. The bar will serve cocktails such as Seasonal Bones and Aquavit Sour. It will have a larger wine list than the Shoreditch site, with a focus on biodynamic and minimum intervention wines.
Supermac's submits new EU trademark application to cover 'full range of products': Irish fast food company Supermac's has submitted a new EU trademark application. The company won its first EU trademark case in January when it was awarded trademark rights to use its brand and name in the European Union despite opposition from McDonald's. Now it has applied to the European Union Intellectual Property Office – formerly the Office for Harmonisation of the Internal Market (OHIM) – to have the full range of products and services offered by the company covered by its trademark. It added this was to ensure the company could "move forward with its future international expansion plans". The company has been battling McDonald's as it tries to expand its services outside Ireland. Earlier this year, the OHIM ruled Supermac's could still use its brand name if it began trading across the EU, but could not sell its meat, fish, chicken nuggets or chips under the name because confusion might arise for English-speaking customers as to whose restaurant they were in. Supermac's managing director Pat McDonagh told newstalk.com: "This is another progressive step forward for Supermac's. Following on from OHIM's decision, the EU trademark needs to comply with each of the quality items we serve our customers. For this reason we have made a new trademark application, which we believe will have a strong chance of success across every single one of our products and services."
Swansea operators plan expansion: The owners of a popular Swansea nightspot have revealed plans to open a new venue in a five-figure investment in Swansea Marina. Matthew Benjamin and Neil Navarra, who are behind the No6 bar, will open a new upmarket wine bar and meeting place called Squires in Swansea Marina's Squire Court. They plan to install "business booths", with free Wi-Fi and coffee, enabling companies to hold informal meetings at the bar or carry out work duties away from the office. The new venture is backed by a business regeneration grant from Swansea Council – a scheme in which developers pay project costs up-front, with some of these reimbursed by the local authority. Matthew Benjamin said: "I think over the next few years we will see the city develop into a premier destination for food, drink and entertainment. Swansea Marina is such a prime location and now is the time for businesses to put down roots here. The planned £500m development in the city over the next few years is only going to boost its value as a visitor destination. And I think the food and drink industry can be pivotal in the regeneration of Swansea and of south west Wales." Squires will open this summer, with the wine bar having a nautical theme in keeping with its surroundings.
Ailantus acquires Greater Manchester hotel and spa in multimillion-pound deal: Ailantus Hotels, which operates sites in Cheshire, Oldham, Manchester and Yorkshire, has acquired the 81-bedroom Mercure Manchester Norton Grange Hotel and Spa in Rochdale in a multimillion-pound deal. The four-star, 81-bedroom Norton Grange is set in landscaped grounds and is eight miles from Manchester city centre. It includes 11 meeting rooms, accommodating up to 220 guests, and spa facilities including swimming pool, steam rooms and saunas, six treatment rooms and a relaxation room. The corporate team at Newcastle law firm Mincoffs advised Ailantus Hotels on the purchase, led by partner John Nicholson and assisted by solicitor Jonathan Smith. Nicholson said: "This acquisition is a great strategic fit for Ailantus and I'm sure they can bring further improvements to the hotel, as they have for others in the group. We have worked with Ailantus Hotels for over a decade and are very pleased to act in yet another significant deal." The exact figure for the acquisition has not been disclosed. Other hotels in the Ailantus portfolio include Mere Court Hotel in Cheshire, Best Western Smokies Park in Oldham, and the Craiglands Hotel in Ilkley.
Whitbread completes Cockermouth hotel acquisition to redevelop site as Premier Inn and Brewer's Fayre: Whitbread has completed its acquisition of 26-bedroom Shepherds Hotel in Cockermouth, Cumbria, for redevelopment as an 80-bedroom Premier Inn and 200-cover Brewer's Fayre. The new scheme – recently granted planning permission by Allerdale Council – will create more than 50 jobs. Development work is set to begin imminently, with completion expected early next year. Agent Colliers International acted on behalf of Roy Campbell, owner of the AA three-starred property in Egremont Road. Neil Thomson, associate director, hotels agency at Colliers International's Manchester office, who secured the sale, told the Cumbria Crack: "Whitbread's acquisition of Shepherds Hotel is a vote of confidence for investment in Cockermouth and will help to meet a forecast rise in demand over the next decade for hotel accommodation and restaurant provision in and around the town, which is a key tourist destination within the Lake District National Park." Nick Johnston, Premier Inn acquisition manager for north west and Wales, said: "Investing and regenerating existing hotel sites to offer great quality and value hotels is something we take great pride in – the Shepherds Hotel will be a great example of that." The proposed deal was first mentioned in last October's announcement by Whitbread that it had secured 1,100 more bedrooms and five pub restaurant sites across the UK towards its milestone target of 85,000 bedrooms by 2020.
Aubaine UK launches new menu, partners with guest data firm Revinate: French restaurant Aubaine has launched a new menu to strengthen the all-day dining offering at its UK sites and set up a partnership with guest data analytics company Revinate to increase the level and volume of customer feedback. Aubaine UK chief executive Nick Young said: "We have introduced 16 new dishes, all underpinning Aubaine's roots in Provençal cuisine, strengthening our all-day dining experience and putting our bakery and patisserie at the heart of what we do. Our head chefs have helped us create these dishes and we are very proud of the changes we have made. We are also excited about partnering with Revinate to help us understand what our customers are saying about us – the feedback we receive will be incredibly powerful for the brand and for our restaurant management teams. It is one of the initiatives we have taken to increase the level and volume of customer feedback we get." Young, formerly operations director at Spirit Pub Company, joined Aubaine as UK chief executive in January, underlining Aubaine's ambition to grow in the UK and allow founder and group chief executive Hani Nakkach to focus on international expansion. Aubaine operates nine restaurants in the UK, all in London.
Masseria Group starts expansion of Ostuni restaurant brand with second London site: Masseria Group, which operates cafes, gastropubs and retail spaces in north west London, will expand its Italian restaurant brand Ostuni with a second site, this time in Highgate. The inaugural Ostuni launched in Queens Park, north west London, in 2013 and the venue was the capital's first restaurant "dedicated entirely to the cuisine and wines of Puglia", Masseria Group founder Rob Claassen said. The new 95-cover Ostuni will similarly reflect the style and design of a traditional trullo – or masseria – of Puglia and "evoke the rustic elegance of southern Italy's largest region in an elegant yet functional space with distressed furniture and Apulian dry stone on the walls and limestone bar and floor". Ostuni will launch in mid-June in Hampstead Lane and open daily from midday to 10.30pm.
New £500,000 restaurant concept with European twist opens in Beverley: A new restaurant concept with a European twist has opened at the Flemingate shopping centre in Beverley, East Yorkshire, following a £500,000 investment. The 118-cover Riva Lounge and Cafe Bar features a dining and bar area, gelato counter and chocolatier, and has created 24 jobs. The name is derived from the Lake Garda resort of Riva del Garda in Italy, where the owner toured while looking for inspiration. Riva Lounge and Cafe Bar managing director Shaun Thompson told The Business Desk: "Our aim from the start was to develop our own brand, to create the look and feel of an authentic European lounge bar and cafe bar. We studied many locations in Italy and the south of France in respect of their architecture, authenticity, ambience, service, menu offerings and how the staff and customers interacted. We have learned from lots of places and have listened to what people want in order to develop our own unique concept. We believe there will be nothing in the area offering such a blend of authentic European influences, with a modern twist."

'Outriders' is the latest game to offer up a daily hobby. It makes a compelling case.
Fans of games like "Destiny," "The Division," and "Diablo" are going to find lots to like about this new action-RPG from People Can Fly.
By Adam Rosenberg on April 6, 2021
Credit: people can fly / square enix
The question that comes up whenever a new competitor to the likes of The Division or Destiny comes along is a simple one: Is it worth the investment?
These are the kinds of games that offer themselves up as hobbies, with activities and rewards that encourage daily play. But they're also massive time commitments. So a newcomer like Outriders doesn't just have to sell people on a new game, it also has to convince its most likely audience that this new hobby is better than the hobby they've already spent 1,000 hours playing.
You know what, though? Outriders has me sold.
I come to this guns-and-space-magic-fueled adventure through an alien world as a seasoned veteran of its particular flavor of action game, which is built primarily around a chase for ever-more-powerful (and often more tactically interesting) weapon and armor loot. So when I say Outriders nails it, that belief is backed up by, quite literally, thousands of hours spent playing the kinds of games it's here to take on.
It starts with the story and the 30-hour lineup of quests built around it. I'll leave the specifics of the prologue a mystery here; it's enough to say you play as an elite soldier — one of the titular "Outriders" — who's serving as part of the vanguard force tasked with settling a distant alien planet in the years after Earth is rendered uninhabitable.
'Outriders' has to convince its most likely audience that this new hobby is better than their old hobby.
The settlement efforts don't exactly go as planned, however, and so you awaken from cryogenic stasis to find a hobbled recreation of human society that's been split by tribal divisions. Part of the reason for that is the world we're now calling home, which turns out to be unexpectedly hostile and blanketed by "Anomaly(Opens in a new window)" storms that present a grave risk to human life.
Those same storms are also a source of tangible power, however. Some of the humans who came into contact with the energy generated by these storms were left fundamentally changed. These "Altered(Opens in a new window)" individuals possess unique powers, and those powers form the foundation of Outriders' four main character classes.
There's the Trickster, a close-range fighter whose latent abilities favor hit-and-run tactics; the Pyromancer, a ranged damage-dealer whose abilities are derived from heat and fire; the Devastator, a high-health, close-range fighter who's equally effective at beating down baddies and drawing fire away from less defense-focused Outriders; and the Technomancer, a support class built around healing allies and dealing indirect damage via status effects and turrets.
As you play and level up within a chosen class, you earn points for unlocking nodes on a skill tree that allow you to further specialize and focus on particular strengths. With my own Technomancer, I chose to invest those points in souping up various turret abilities. But I could have gone a different route, focusing instead on Technomancer powers that charge your bullets with extra effects or manufacture limited-use firepower out of thin air.
Best of all — and this is one of those spots where Outriders distinguishes itself — you're never locked into any of those choices. By the time you hit the max level of 30, you'll only have enough points to unlock about one-third of your class's skill tree. That's by design, since each class has three focused (but malleable) specializations. But at any time, you can press a button to simply refund all your unlocked class points, as they're called, and start over.
Outriders isn't the first game of this type to offer that degree of flexibility, but in a cool and welcome twist the three specialization paths on each skill tree have nodes where they cross over. This creates an opportunity for players to toy with hybrid character builds that favor a wider and more varied spread of abilities. I'll turn to an example here: If you love Diablo III specifically because of the "elective mode(Opens in a new window)" that lets you mix and match different ability combos, you're really going to like how Outriders does the same thing.
That sense of freedom extends to your gear as well. Loot in Outriders is color-coded by rarity — a standard for the genre — but one twist allows you to spend some resources on upgrading the rarity of a weapon or armor piece. You can also spend to level up your gear, meaning that level 28 shotgun you love so much doesn't have to get left behind once you're pulling gear at higher levels.
Then there are the mods, or ability-boosting perks randomly slotted into much of the loot you collect. Dismantling a piece of gear with a mod you've never seen before unlocks that mod for your collection, allowing you to add it to any other piece of gear you pick up. The resource cost for shuffling mods around is kept low, too, so there's never any reason to skip tailoring your mod picks to your chosen class and favored abilities.
This probably sounds like a lot, and that's because it is. But at no point does Outriders expect players to grasp these rules and features immediately, or even early on. There's nothing but benefit to playing around with gear upgrades and mods early, but it's not until the latest stages of the game — after you've got plenty of hands-on experience — that you really have to grapple with a full understanding.
The learning curve in 'Outriders' can be as steep or as gentle as you want.
The learning curve can also be as steep or as gentle as you want, thanks almost entirely to the unique approach Outriders takes with difficulty. Fans of The Division games are familiar with the concept of "World Tiers," a sort of global difficulty setting that sets the baseline health and damage-dealing potential for baddies while also, at higher levels, boosting the quality and quantity of the loot that drops in kind.
In Outriders, you level up your World Tier just like you would your character level: By winning battles and completing quests. But at any time, you can pop into the menu and drop down to a lower tier. So if one particular boss fight or enemy encounter is giving you a hard time, you can effectively bend the difficulty to your liking around just that moment, with the tradeoff of lower-quality loot returns. It's an elegant system that, like so many other things in Outriders, puts the player's desire to have fun ahead of all other concerns.
And hey, let's talk about that fun for a minute. The act of running around and shooting up baddies in Outriders is a delight, thanks in large part to the way healing is tied to damage-dealing. It's a simple relationship: Dishing out damage also restores your health, and it's the only way to refill your health bar after the Technomancer's one healing ability.
Most of the weapons also just feel great to handle, thanks especially to strong sound design and satisfying visual feedback. Shots ring out with a real intensity, and each weapon has its own, distinctive aural character. You feel those shots land too as enemies visibly stagger, let loose a spray of blood, or even lose their entire head. It's nothing that other games haven't done before, but Outriders does it well.
The feel isn't quite on the level of Destiny's silky smooth, industry-best gunplay. But it's close, and Outriders further amps things up with varied fights that range from tense shootouts behind cover all the way to run-and-gun-and-holy-shit-there's-a-million-creatures-behind-me action where you're constantly moving. All the smartly designed skill trees and player-friendly upgrade systems in the world don't amount to much if the game they're a part of isn't fun to play. But that's not a problem here.
There's still plenty of room for Outriders to improve, though. The game has been a technical mess almost from moment one. People Can Fly and publisher Square Enix have struggled to keep servers functional and stable in the week since their April 1 launch.
Bugs are an even bigger problem. I'm playing on PC and I've lost count of the number of times Outriders has crashed completely, kicking me out to the desktop and forcing me to work some Task Manager magic. I'm using a fairly new machine, too, one that I built in 2019 and then upgraded earlier in 2021 with a GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card — pretty much the cutting edge for PC graphics right now.
Even with that kind of horsepower, I'm only able to keep Outriders (mostly) stable when I turn down some graphics settings and completely close out of all memory-hogging applications, including my web browsers. These are the kinds of issues that get fixed over time, sure, but it's frustrating to think back on all the progress I've lost across my 50-plus hours so far due to crashes. (It's also a credit to the quality of Outriders that I even wanted to keep forging ahead in the midst of those issues.)
There are problems with the game that go beyond the technical, though not in a way that's evident immediately. It's more evident in the endgame and the range of things you can do there to really put your full suite of powers and experimental builds to the test.
Expeditions are a great start, for sure. They're a set of 13 quests with amped-up combat challenges that you tackle on a timer. That timer creates different thresholds for success, with Bronze, Silver, and Gold target times netting you increasingly better loot. They also get progressively harder thanks to Challenge Tiers, which are a little like World Tiers in the way they raise the risks and rewards both. You just unlock them a little differently, with a new Challenge Tier opening up each time you complete an Expedition at the highest level you have unlocked, up to 10.
The reward structure in Expeditions is great, but it's not quite enough to make for a robust endgame.
But that's it, that's the whole Outriders endgame right now. When I look at examples like Destiny or The Division, both of which feature "raids" that twist their respective base games in creative directions to challenge the top players, what's happening here pales in comparison. Expeditions get incredibly hectic, throwing more baddies at you per encounter than anywhere else. But they're not any different from the rest of Outriders: Move forward, kill everything, repeat until done.
To be clear, "move forward, kill everything" does a lot of work in Outriders and that's not a bad thing. The entire suite of story quests sustains itself on that basic idea, and thanks to a variety of factors — changing environments, different and deep enemy factions, new abilities — it stays immensely enjoyable all the way through. But the endgame that's here at launch doesn't do much to twist that basic framework in new directions. The inventive reward structure in Expeditions is a great touch, but it's not quite enough.
That's a good problem for People Can Fly to have, certainly. I just spent more than 50 hours playing this game in a very short stretch of time — I started late on March 31 and stopped late on April 5 to start this review — and my biggest complaint is that the thing you're supposed to focus on after investing 30 or so hours into the story could have more going on.
That brings us back to the hobby piece, though. Outriders wants to attract the kind of audience that cares less about what you do during the first 30 hours than they do about the hundreds of hours that come after. Those first 30 hours are plenty compelling to be sure, offering a whole, entire story with an enjoyable cast of characters and a darkly funny (if bleak) worldview. But it's the "what comes next" that will make or break the long-term appeal here.
As it stands at launch, that "what comes next" is feeling a little thin to me. It's enough that I'm still on board for more after 50-odd hours and a very intense week of dedicated play. But I also think it's a question that's going to come up fairly quickly for the more committed players. Hopefully People Can Fly is already thinking about what the answer will be.

Even union leaders who have spent the last six years slavishly defending New Labour felt they had to get behind motions that signalled confrontation with the government. On issue after issue those union leaders who normally speak up for the government had to vote for motions that laid into New Labour. Those motions were composites drawn up from separate resolutions submitted by individual unions. That process has usually meant filleting out left wing criticism of New Labour.
This time the bulk of proposals from the left stayed in. So the motion on rights at work, passed unanimously on Monday, called for 'the right of unions to engage in secondary industrial action' and to 'determine their own rules in relation to discipline and exclusion' of organised racists and fascists.
The best-received speeches were those that articulated the immense bitterness of rank and file trade unionists with what the Labour government is doing.
Most speakers in the debate on rights at work limited their criticisms to specific aspects of the anti-union laws and leading TUC figures continued to plead for partnership with employers and the government.
But none of them could point to any great success from a strategy of holding back from confrontation under Labour. Most delegates applauded when Bob Crow attacked the TUC's decision to invite Digby Jones, head of the bosses' CBI, to speak at the conference.
Jeremy Dear, general secretary of the National Union of Journalists, said the reality under Blair is 'low pay, long hours, stress and illness'. In a debate on 'work-life balance' Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the PCS civil servants' union, pointed to the successful wildcat action taken by British Airways check-in staff at Heathrow over the summer.
The conference unanimously passed a motion that called on the TUC to organise 'a demonstration and rally in cooperation with the pensioners' movement'. It instructed the TUC to launch 'a sustained campaign, including consideration of a national day of action, uniting public and private sector unions'. Tony Brockman called on delegates to 'build for a massive demonstration'.
Kate Hudson, newly elected chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), welcomed the way the Stop the War Coalition had 'grown remarkably in just two years', and had developed a close working relationship with CND and the Muslim Association of Britain. 'We need to do everything we can to have a massive demonstration on 27 September,' she said.
Other speakers were Tony Woodley of the TGWU, Ruth Winters, president of the FBU, Jeremy Dear of the NUJ and anti-war MP George Galloway. Stop the War Coalition chair Andrew Murray underlined the importance of the national demonstration in two weeks time.
The whole meeting rose to its feet in support of Galloway, who faces the very serious threat of expulsion from the Labour Party for his anti-war stance.

The Met Gala – Where Stars and Fashion Collide
Come May, the fashion industry is abuzz with activity and anticipation for the glamorous and glitzy Met Gala. The annual exhibit, that's hosted for the benefit of the New York-based Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is one of the biggest events of the fashion calendar. While the Oscars, Grammys, Globes and umpteen fashion shows are alluring as well, the Met Gala has an air of mystery that envelops it like no other. Nothing can match the extravagance of this event, which some call it 'the party of the year' and 'the Oscars of the East Coast'.
The enigma of this exclusive affair can be narrowed down to three factors – the carefully curated themes, manicured guest list, and how it is not televised beyond the red carpet. What happens after the red carpet isn't available for the general public to consume. Yes, we get to see the glimpses. Like the time when Kylie Jenner broke the 'no social media' rule with her bathroom selfie during the 2017 Met Gala and others broke the 'no smoking rule'. Or the Taylor Swift-Tom Hiddleston dance off in 2016. But the gala is out of bounds. Yet, the red carpet coverage manages to demonstrate the extremity and eccentricity in its full glory.
From Fundraising to Fashion
Being tied with art and costume, it always celebrated fashion. However, the Met Gala and the fashion industry developed a close-knit partnership over the years. The credit goes to the women that made it what it is now. American fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, columnist & former Vogue editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland and present Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour are the brains and heart behind this evolution.
Lambert is credited for putting American fashion and New York on the map. She founded the charity ball in 1948 to support the Costume Institute. The gala went from being one of the many events around that time to becoming the most glamorous one soon after Vogue came into the picture with Vreeland taking the reins in 1972. Needless to say, with the entry of the legendary Anna Wintour in 1995, Vogue's role became even more instrumental in transforming the gala and making it the 'it' thing.
Wintour made it exclusive and chic by closely monitoring the guest list and hiking up the ticket prices. Her list included the biggest and the most unexpected names. For instance, the first member of the British royal family to attend a Met Gala was Princess Diana in 1996; a year after Wintour became a chair of the event. The fashionable Olsen twins – Mary-Kate and Ashley, attended their first Met Gala in 2005, a year before they launched their label 'The Row' and became a prominent name in the luxury fashion circle.
Under her watch, the Met Gala evolved beyond its charity status and became the highly anticipated annual soiree that it is now.
When asked to describe how the gala has changed over the years, Wintour said, "I was very honoured when they first asked me to become involved because there was such a tradition of Vogue always supporting the Met…. I think obviously we have opened it up to maybe a larger world than the society world that it was when Mrs. Vreeland was there. It was more society and fashion, and we broadened that."
So how has the scope of the Met Gala broadened, what really goes behind the curtains of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and how it impacts the fashion industry?
Representing Society Through Themes
The fashion police haven't stopped raving about Rihanna last year's Met Gala look when she came dressed as Pope. Her pearl and jewel studded robe with a matching necklace emerged as the best look of the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination-themed ball. The other looks that stood out were Katy Perry's feathered angel wings and Solange Knowles in Iris Van Herpen Couture.
However, it is not all rainbows and butterflies when it comes to pulling off an event this size, considering the magnitude of the challenge. A ton of effort went behind finalizing the theme and getting the art installations as well as the collection ready. The approval of the Vatican was crucial to realizing this theme. It took many years of negotiations, a few failed attempts and multiple visits to the Vatican before Andrew Bolton, the present head curator of the museum secured the permission to borrow the vestments.
At one point during one of the meetings with the higher heads, Wintour said to Bolton, 'This isn't your finest moment, Andrew." But Bolton successfully worked his way through the many hurdles.
One would think that the struggle would cease to exist after the approval. But the Heavenly Bodies' red carpet sparked a debate on culture appropriation of Catholic culture. From the length of Rihanna's skirt to the use of Catholic symbols without its context and meaning, the post-event analysis of the fundraiser explored the culture appropriation angle raised by a section of people. Important thing to remember is that the Vatican had approved the gala, the use of catholic symbols and more than 40 precious vestments that belonged to Sistine Chapel Sacristy.
Through its myriads of themes, the Met Gala has always tried to represent the present and take fashion forward. In these times, when the industry and consumers are trying to understand the various layers of cultural appropriation and appreciation, Met Gala presented a unique platform to the debaters through its Heavenly Bodies red carpet looks– the ones for it and the ones against it.
This year, for example, the theme is 'Camp: Notes on Fashion'. Inspired by Susan Sontag's essay published in 1964, this year is all about celebrating differences and challenging rigid ideas.
"For many years fashion curators, myself included, were too apologetic in their approach. Fashion is so connected to the body and issues of identity they cannot be separated. It's my responsibility to challenge people's preconceived ideas about a subject and the medium of clothing… People have a definite idea of what camp is – that it's superficial, about gay men and transvestites. And it is that, but it's many other things too," Bolton explained.
The theme of the exhibition also determines how far the team can stretch the guest list. Since, it is a by-invitation-only ticketed event, Wintour instructs her team to be meticulous about adding & removing names.
She explained the connection between the theme of the exhibition and the guest-list curating process by disclosing that the guest list of 2017 Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between was small because the Japanese designer Kawakubo is a very private person. On the other hand, 2013 Punk: Chaos to Couture enabled them to invite a lot more people as it fit the mood of the theme.
Revenue, Growth and the Global Fashion Industry
The biggest impact of the Met Gala is visible on the luxury fashion business. Right from predicting a potential global market to effectively generating revenue from a non-commercialized event, the Oscars of the East Coast is a boon to the fashion industry.
Case in point: 2015's China: Through the Looking Glass Met Gala. It explored the influence of Chinese motifs, costumes, art, paintings and other creative pieces of work on Western fashion. It was an ode to China and its contribution to the fashion world. This theme too led to the culture appropriation debate, much like the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. But a positive outcome of this exhibition was the focus on China's yet-to-be-explored luxury retail market.
In the last five years, the Chinese luxury goods market has grown exponentially and experts predict that the country would replace US to become the world's largest fashion market. The country has opened its doors for global luxury brands and there has been a steady increase in the percentage of aspirational spendthrift millennial buyers. Andrew Wu, LVMH group president of Greater China also has warned that China's luxury market shouldn't be underestimated.
The growth of a country's fashion industry can't be pinned down to one event, but it would be safe to assume that Met Gala's China exhibition was definitely an indicator of the days to come.
Moving on to the commercials, as mentioned before, the Met Gala isn't a televised event. Oscars and Super Bowl make their money through commercials, sponsors, broadcasting rights and other means. But the drama and opulence of the fundraising show is on full display only till the red carpet. Yet, it is one of the most expensive shows.
Money exchanges hands, yes. But not in the conventional commercialized way.
Actress Blake Lively wore jewels worth $2 million at last year's gala. Celebrities and designers are usually tight-lipped about the cost of the dresses worn/made by them. But if we consider the labour that goes into making these clothes (Rihanna's Pope outfit took 250 hours to sew and 500 hours for embroidering), it is not hard to guess that they must cost a small fortune.
A single ticket to gain entry is priced at $30,000. And if one wants to book the entire table then the charge on the card would be $275,000. The proceeds, of course, go to the Costume Institute. But it is not wrong to wonder what's in it for brands and designers.
According to industry experts, the event helps brands to stay relevant and connect with their buyers in the most genuine way. And for that, they are more than willing to spend thousands and millions of dollars, if needed.
"Brands are struggling to connect. They're looking for authentic ways to remain relevant as they compete with pop culture to win the mind, heart and hands of their consumers. It's (Met Gala) the pinnacle of art, fashion and culture. It's the who's who guest list for brands. If your brand plays in this space, you can't afford not to take part," reasoned Andrew Wu, co-founder of Intercept Group.
Celebrities from all walks of life participate in the Gala, provided they make it to Wintour's guest list. The exclusivity is maintained by not only setting a steep price of admission but also by reserving right to admission. In an over exposed and easily accessible commercialized world, the Met Gala stands out as a place that is fashionable, private, and relevant. Therefore, the brands that make it to the ramp enjoy undivided attention.

When you are ready for custom embroidered apparel we will need your artwork so we can look things over to make sure your logo is something that can be sewn. The biggest problem we run into is logos with very small text. The smallest we can sew and still have legible text is right around .25″. Some logos will need to have the text resized slightly to make sure it will sew properly. Every new logo must be digitized. Digitizing a logo basically means, putting stitches on top of your logo on the computer as if we were tracing it. Each stitch is a x/y coordinate that tells the machine where to punch the needle. Luckily embroidery software has advanced enough where we no longer have to digitize every single stitch. We do still however have to re-draw your logo within the digitizing software to be able to sew it out. Its not as simple as opening up a logo and pushing print.
Vector files are best (ai, eps or pdf) with all fonts converted to outlines so we are not required to have any specific fonts used in the design. This format will produce the highest quality embroidery.
Vector images are created using mathematical paths instead of individual pixels. It is easier to define lines and shapes of a vector graphic vs a raster (made of pixels) graphic.
Raster images like those created using Adobe Photoshop are acceptable. We like these images to be at least 150dpi if not 300dpi at the final image size. Upsizing an image you found online to 150dpi will not yield an image that is a true 150dpi image. It will actually end up being more pixilated than if you just simply left it alone. We can use web graphics to make embroidery designs but it's best if we have the highest quality logo possible. Some acceptable raster file formats are jpg, png, gif, tif or eps.
Raster images are made of pixels instead mathematical paths like vector graphics. An image made of pixels will appear grainy and not very clean looking when zoomed in. Because of this when digitizing some raster images, we must use our best guess as to where some of the stitches need to go. This usually isn't that big of deal and designs come out looking quite well. Please make sure you send us the best quality graphic you have.
color areas are not as clearly defined.

Series Sunday: Guest Post: Tyrone M. Eddins Jr.
Author of the City High Series
Welcome to Literary Marie's Precision Reviews. Today we have a special guest post from Tyrone M. Eddins Jr., author of the City High series and CEO & Founder of Scripted Visions Publishing Group.
"For the Love of Crime and Violence..."
Who doesn't love a good crime thriller?
Well, I will be the first to admit that there isn't much that I love more than to dive headfirst into a story about a gruesome crime that will keep me guessing and on the edge of my seat until the very end. Whether it's a book, movie, or TV show, a crime thriller is always my choice for storytelling entertainment.
In fact, being a man that also enjoys good food, I can equate a well-crafted crime thriller to a delicious four-course meal at a five-star restaurant. Perfectly prepared and cooked by a Master Chef, stories about crime and violence make for some of the most delicious literary and cinematic meals around with each course of the meal served in thrilling fashion.
Best of all, this recipe isn't a complicated one at all. Start with a healthy dose of violence, stir in a cup of mystery, blend in some more violence, and add a pinch (or even a full scoop) of sex and you've got the makings of a pretty good meal. Beginning with an appetizer of action, good crime fiction takes hold of its audience from the opening pages or credits. It then moves quickly to serve the soup and salad portion of the meal as the story starts to unravel, revealing all of its main characters and plot points. At long last, here is the entrée. Time to get to the best part, the crux, the literal blood and guts of the story. By now the reader or movie/TV watcher is all in and fully ready to dig into the meat of the story. The storyline is all out on the table now, having been served on only the finest of china and silverware. Twists and turns are in full swing and around every corner. The main characters are all on the move and the action is "all you can eat" freight training towards an incredible climax. And finally…dessert is served…one last gunfight, one last murder, and one last gut-wrenching plot twist all leading up to an amazing and unpredictable ending to this story. At the end of this meal, everyone is left full and satisfied, yet wanting more...
Maybe it's the grisly allure of the macabre that draws us to the crime thriller genre and allows it grab on tight without letting go? Who knows? But whatever it is, so many of us enjoy great stories that revolve around an unspeakable crime and contain plenty of violence. From an entertainment point of view, crime and violence go hand in hand like burgers and fries, apple pie and ice cream, spaghetti and meatballs. Throughout history, people have been writing about crime and violence for about as long as it's been occurring in real life. Detailed accounts of criminal escapades and acts of violence have been recorded in every form from no-nonsense non-fiction to sensationalized works of fiction based on real life events and people.
Whether they want to admit it or not, people love crime and violence…so long as it's not happening to them, of course. It's like a drug. A morbid, but enjoyable obsession that provides a unique high. Take a second to think about what stories usually headline the news shows and newspapers. It's usually something to do with crime and violence. And as much as we shake our head and say "mm-mm-mm" while wanting to turn away, change the channel or put the newspaper down…we just can't. We have to know what happened and even the newscaster's warning that "the following may not be appropriate for all audiences," doesn't deter us. Instead, it only serves to fuel our fascination and cause us to turn up the volume on the TV, shush the kids, and scoot closer. Yes, I'm guilty of it too…this strange love for crime and violence. It entertains and it sells. Having been on both sides of the Crime & Violence coin, as both a reader and a writer, I can tell you that there is nothing like it. No substitute for this guilty pleasure.
It's this twisted attraction that inspired my debut novel, BAD INTENTIONS, Book One of the CITY HIGH Series. As a writer, one of the first cardinal rules I learned was: "write what you read," and I routinely gorge myself on the crime thrillers. Can't get enough of it. Books, movies, and TV shows.
BAD INTENTIONS and the CITY HIGH series is a story built on the most basic and animalistic of principles: family and the protection of its members at any cost. It's this code that serves as the catalyst for the BAD INTENTIONS storyline and is also the driving force for the novel's main characters, the Harrell Family. Over the course of the CITY HIGH Series, the Harrells will have the limits of their loyalty pushed to the breaking point. This story will test and ultimately reaffirm the timeless saying: "Blood is thicker than water."
As readers indulge themselves in the CITY HIGH series, it's a safe bet they will see many different literary influences, but definitely no duplication. BAD INTENTIONS and the CITY HIGH SERIES is about more than just the crime and violence featured within its pages, but at the same time, an avid connoisseur of crime thrillers won't be left starving on an empty stomach either…

Bad Intentions (Book One) Summary:
LIFE IN THE SHADOWS...
Beneath the historical monuments and high-priced politics of the Nation's Capital, exists a shadowed empire known as The Syndicate. Reigning supreme over this juggernaut is The Harrell Family, a clan of criminal royalty that oversees the city's narcotics flow with the efficiency of a billion dollar corporation. Seated at the head of the table is Ezra Harrell, the Family's patriarch and mastermind behind The Syndicate. Under the guiding hand of the respected and feared cartel boss, The Syndicate has corrupted some of the city's most influential hierarchy and completely reshaped the city's criminal landscape; making The Syndicate the most untouchable criminal organization Washington DC has ever seen…
NOTHING BEFORE FAMILY...
In the Harrell Family, nothing is more important than blood. Anything threatening their tightly knit unit is dealt with in a ferocious manner, absent of all hesitation or mercy. Their family creed of "Nothing Before Family" is more than just a mere catchphrase or punchline. For the Harrell Family, those three words represent an unwavering, unforgiving way of life…
FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN…
A ruthless killer is stalking the Harrells, slowly and methodically hunting his way to the top of their family. As the clock ticks, Ezra Harrell must do everything in his extensive power to escape his way of life and move his family to a safe place before time runs out. Ezra fears for his family's safety, but his chief concern is his son, Santea, the heir apparent to the Syndicate throne. Ezra refuses to allow his only child to follow in his footsteps down a bloody path he wished he'd never walked himself…
BAD INTENTIONS is book one of the CITY HIGH series, a multiple novel saga chronicling the rise, fall and redemption of the Harrell Family. The debut novel from Tyrone Eddins Jr. promises to transport the reader on an entertaining ride into the depths of an underworld kingdom where greed, deception and the raw lust for power threaten to destroy not just a single man, but an entire empire.

The International Whaling Commission (IWC) was established in 1946 by the Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW). Its mandate, drafted within the context of that time, was the worldwide conservation of all whale stocks and the sustainable management of whaling. OceanCare has held observer status at the IWC since 1992. We are dedicated to upholding the global moratorium on commercial whaling, which has been in force since 1986 and to encouraging the transformation of the IWC into a modern conservation body that addresses the full range of threats to all whale and dolphin species. Since 2015, OceanCare has also been represented through experts in the IWC's Scientific Committee where we actively contribute.
The IWC has 88 member states (as of 2022), all of which have ratified the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. In 1982, the member states decided to ban commercial whaling activities worldwide. This global ban on commercial whaling, also known as the moratorium, came into force in 1986 and is still considered to be one of the greatest achievements in international animal and species conservation. It has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of whales to date. However, there are two other categories of whaling. One is the allocation of catch quotas for Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling (ASW) for those peoples who have an ongoing whaling history and genuine nutritional need and which are recognised as such by the IWC. The second is regulated by Article VIII of the ICRW, «Special Permit Whaling» which also provides, as a treaty right, states to issue permits for research purposes. This is sometimes called «scientific whaling».
For many years, the IWC, through its expert subsidiary groups, has intensified its work on the numerous threats affecting whales and small cetaceans (including dolphins and porpoises). This includes efforts to better understand and address the impacts of by-catch, ship strikes, underwater noise pollution and marine debris, as well as habitat destruction and the consequences of climate change.
In 2016, the IWC recognised the important role of whales in marine ecosystems. Since then, the IWC has been debating the treatment of whales, not only against the background of animal and species protection, but also from a broader ecological perspective. The orientation of the IWC's work is mostly governed by the adoption of resolutions at the «Commission meetings» where all the member nation meet. These resolutions are passed on the basis of a simple majority, while a decision on certain other issues, including quotas and whale sanctuaries, have to be adopted with a three-quarters majority.
OceanCare's goals in the IWC
OceanCare is campaigning for a fundamental reform of the IWC. Structural deficits, budget constraints and unresolved questions regarding jurisdiction are increasingly preventing the implementation of many of the measures adopted for the protection of whales. Together with partner organisations, OceanCare has developed a roadmap document, A 50 year vision for the IWC, which focuses on strengthening the protection of whales and shows how corresponding measures can be financed.
One focus is to maintain the whaling moratorium and extend it to all cetacean species, so that also small cetaceans may no longer be hunted for commercial purposes worldwide. In addition, Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling must be clearly differentiated from commercial whaling.
OceanCare has held observer status at the IWC since 1992 and is very familiar with the stakeholders and rules of the body. Accordingly, we seek to improve both the setting of priorities and the working processes of the various bodies of the IWC in order to advance effective science-based conservation action. This includes integrated coordination of the work of the IWC Science Committee and the priorities of the Conservation Committee, which both develop recommendations for member states.
Issues of importance to us in the IWC Scientific and Conservation Committees include:
The threat to whales and dolphins and their prey from the effects of underwater noise pollution;
The danger to whales from ship collisions;
Consequences of fishing, as well as plastic pollution of the ocean;
The development of action plans for the conservation of particularly threatened species and populations;
The impact of climate change on whales and dolphins;
Improved management of whale and dolphin watching.
Through its studies on the health risks of consuming whale meat contaminated with harmful substances, OceanCare has stimulated cooperation between the IWC and the World Health Organization (WHO). We have also campaigned for the clear regulation of the rights and obligations of non-governmental organisations so that they can participate and be heard as representatives of civil society.
OceanCare also provides financial support to the IWC Voluntary Fund for Small Cetaceans Research & Conservation, the by-catch mitigation initiative as well as for the IWC expert group on stranding and emergency response.

When Forno started, Zalora's servers had already outgrown their previously allocated network space and had been divided into 3 networks. Administration tasks thus had to be committed 3 times to 3 different Puppet git repositories. Small differences between the 3 networks led to errors and slowed down the work of system administrators. Adding more servers to handle more traffic would exacerbate the problem further.
Code deployments were done by the release manager directly on production servers with the aid of engineers.
Aside from being error-prone, this led to some confusion about the real state of production systems. When investigating an error, system administrators would often have to manually search for changes made to live servers that were not reflected in commit logs.
The rapid pace of new feature development was bottlenecked by the rate which system administrators could configure, test, and deploy new infrastructure. Engineers worked around the problem by deploying the necessary systems into the QA environment, leading to configuration drift between production and QA. To maintain stability for testing new features, engineers and QA had adopted a split development/QA iteration cycle.
Define an ideal network and completely describe it in a single repository. This repository would contain everything necessary to instantiate a working network capable of serving traffic for a single country (e.g. Zalora Singapore), on AWS or on bare metal either as a production network, as a QA network, or as a development VM (in which case VirtualBox also needed to be supported).
Migrate all systems over to this single network definition and put all future changes through this single repository.
Integrate code deployment with infrastructure deployment.
Developers could run a working copy of the website on their own laptop and develop new features in an environment identical to production at any time (without needing to halt for QA testing).
QA had its own network, which was not shared with developers. When developers wanted QA to test changes they just had to push the changes to the appropriate location. When QA needed to test multiple changes concurrently, DevOps could just deploy another network.
Deployments could be handled via a point-and-click GUI, eliminating "fat finger" outages and creating a single source of truth for both engineers and operations to understand the entire state of the system.
All deployments as well as errors and notices were then logged to a central location, accessible to all developers.
Transparent secure tunnels between networks were created, allowing for cross-network communication with no overhead for developers. This enabled deploying to multiple data centers for cost savings and to reduce latency to customers.
All data sources were consolidated into a single location (the Zalora data warehouse) for the benefit of the BI team.
Forno hired 7 staff (6 full-time, 1 part-time) and 1 technical writer/editor (to document everything).
They were hired to take over day-to-day systems management, and to have enough spare resources to build the new systems in parallel.
As the team integrated each system, Forno arranged and attended meetings with the responsible developers until he was confident that DevOps had established a reliable and persistent communication channel. In the special case of the technical writer, he continuously encouraged people from all departments of the company to talk to her.
This gave other departments the chance to understand what DevOps could do for them and who could resolve their issues.
the configuration in git is strongly guaranteed to describe the state of the systems.
Most alternatives fall into two categories: traditional configuration management or containers.
Traditional configuration management was partially responsible for the problems the company was facing: the Puppet configuration did not match the actual state of the servers, meaning that system administrators were afraid to make changes for fear of breaking the system in an irreversible way. The company had also tried alternatives such as Salt with similar results.
Containers are a new approach to operations that addresses deployment by allowing developers to build containers that can then be tested and shipped into production as-is. They are popular because they are good for hosting companies (like Google's Kubernetes), allowing the host to use lightweight containers instead of heavyweight virtual machines (which itself allows finer control over tenancy) and easy to understand for developers.
However, at the time there were no container-based solutions to managing a network of machines, meaning that all management would have continued to be manual.
The other disadvantage linked with containers was their opaqueness: only the developers who had built the container have access to the source and build system necessary to identify and fix problems in production. This becomes an issue when scheduling pager duty, because at least one developer for every system needs to be available at any time on any day to deal with any problems.
N.B.: this case study was approved for release in March 2017.
Zalora continues to grow, supported by the DevOps team of 3 full-timers. After the development phase finished, the team naturally shrank over time to the minimum size necessary for maintenance and support.


It's been an interesting experience. Most of my classmates are from a rather different pool of "computer geek" than either the west coast "open source gods", or from big corporate IT. Most of them are from very small IT/dev shops. There are two guys from a Texan WISP. There is a guy who's the sole IT guy from an out of control academic dev project that is about to centralize all their random Oracle, Access, and MS-SQL databases into MySQL. There is the IT guy from a company that makes venetian blinds. The IT guy from a company that manufactures farm trailers and horse trailers. There is a semifreelance investigative reporter who wants to use MySQL for storing and sharing collected government data. There is an academic from a bio/gen research dept who's moving to MySQL.
As for the class, going in, I was afraid it was going to be a lot of memorization of configuration parameters, deep explanations of the query optimizer, and lots of very complex joins.
I was only partially right, multiway joins, outer joins, and joins with aggregation functions are one of those things I understand, right until I don't. I can tell this is something I'm going to have to spend a couple of 12 hour days just myself working slowly thru the workbooks and thru "Headfirst SQL" until it clicks in.
Yesterday the instructors asked me to stand up and teach for a short bit, the section on "Other Storage Engines", since mainly what the class presented was MyISAM, InnoDB, and Memory. So I stood up and quickly ran down the list of Blackhole, CSV, Federated, Cluster, Falcon, Maria, SolidDB, Brighthouse, Nitro, Memcached, HTTP, S3, ODBC, Lua, and Tokyo Cabinet. I ran down some stuff about past, future, features, uses, free/nonfree, and so forth for each one. I got a question about BDB, which I deflected, pleading ignorance.
And now we start day four. Prepared Statements, load infile, select outfile, and stored procedures.
