Bartender says she accidentally exposed customer's affair
Jaclyn DiazDecember 11, 2022
A user on TikTok has gone viral after claiming she accidentally revealed one of her clients was having an affair.
In a video with over 2.3 million views, TikToker and bartender Cayley (@imacayk) tells all the details, beginning with her introduction to the man in question and ending with his wife's bitter discovery of the affair.

Over the course of two videos, Cayley says that while working as a bartender, she met a few people who came at the same time and day every week. Over time, she learned the couple's typical drink orders and routine of entering the bar.
As Cayley continued to serve the couple, a man and a woman, she became suspicious that they were involved in an affair. According to Cayley, the duo's body language was questionable; However, they both referred to each other as "friends" and wore wedding rings.
Despite this, she continued to serve the couple. Cayley later noted in a separate video that she doesn't get involved in client relationships unless she knows them well and personally. As she explains, there are a variety of relationship styles, and she can't be sure of the specifics of a person's relationship; Therefore, it is not advisable to interfere in a stranger's relationship unless there is absolute certainty.
One day, after the man left, Cayley struck up a conversation with the couple's wife. The woman claimed she was divorcing her husband and her friend – the one she had been to the bar with – was helping her sort out her finances.
She also revealed that she has known the man since childhood and actually wanted to be with him, which would require him to leave his wife. They had also apparently fallen out after the man made a positive comment about Cayley's performance, which led to him leaving the bar early.
In the second part of this two-video series, Cayley says she didn't see either of them for "a while" after that supposed fight.
Then one night, Cayley was bartendering without glasses when the man from earlier walked in with what Cayley thought was the same woman due to poor night vision.
"I'm like, 'Hey! It's so nice to see you! I haven't seen you all in a while!'" she recalls. "They kind of don't respond to me because he's acting like he doesn't know me."
She then offered to make the couple's standard drinks, listing both drinks by name. Unbeknownst to her, she had just revealed the man's secret – as evidenced by the fact that the woman angrily walked away from her husband after hearing the order.
"My co-bartender comes up to me and says to me… 'You know that's not the lady he usually comes with, right?'" Cayley recalls. "I'm like, 'Oh shit! So this is his wife!'"
"He said, 'Yeah, that's actually his wife, and you just screwed it up for him,'" she continues.
In the comments, many users supported Cayley, saying the affair revelation wasn't really her fault.
"He had no reason to be mad," wrote one user. "He did that to himself."
"Listen, why is this your responsibility? He's messy when he's having affairs and putting them in the same place," added another.
"Honestly he deserves everything bad that comes his way after this affair," offered a third. "You didn't do anything wrong in what you told him (although you didn't intend to)."
We contacted Cayley via Instagram direct message.

Pulley ist eine US-amerikanische Punkrock-Band aus Kalifornien.

Sie waren seit der Gründung Anfang der 1990er Jahre bis in die 2010er Jahre bei dem Plattenlabel Epitaph Records unter Vertrag. Musikalisch bieten sie seit jeher Punkrock, wobei Pulleys Art von Punkrock eindeutig auch als Skatepunk oder Melodycore bekannt ist.

Pulley hatte in der Besetzung zeitweise Überschneidungen mit Ten Foot Pole. Da die Band nur selten auf Tour ging und unregelmäßig Alben veröffentlichte, wurden sie teilweise auch als Nebenprojekt von TFP gesehen. Erst in den letzten Jahren hat sich das geändert. In Deutschland tourten sie mehrmals, unter anderem als Vorband von No Use for a Name. Sänger Scott Radinsky spielte elf Jahre – von 1990 bis 2001 – im Major League Baseball, alle anderen Bandmitglieder haben ebenfalls, wenn auch weniger gut bezahlte, Jobs neben der Musik. Seit dem Album Matters von 2004 war die Band deshalb weitestgehend inaktiv.

Erst Mitte der 2010er Jahre nahm die Live-Aktivität wieder leicht zu, beschränkt sich jedoch auf die Herbst- und Wintermonate und die Westküste der Vereinigten Staaten, da dies am ehesten mit Radinskys Job als Baseballtrainer vereinbar ist. 2013 ersetzte Chris Dalley den bisherigen Drummer Tony Palermo. 2016 erschien ein weiteres Studioalbum namens No Change In The Weather, allerdings nicht mehr bei Epitaph, sondern beim von NOFX-Gitarisst El Hefe geführten Label Cyber Tracks. Der "langjährige Freund" Trey Clinesmith spielt mittlerweile die zweite Gitarre. 2019 wurde die Band in die Ventura County Music Hall of Fame aufgenommen.

Zum 25-jährigen Bandjubiläum wurden 2020 wieder Shows sowie die Arbeit an einem neuen Album angekündigt. Zunächst erschien 2021 mit Encore eine Compilation mit Remasterings und Live-Aufnahmen älterer Songs bei SBÄM Records, 2022 folgte auf demselben Label das neue Album The Golden Life.

Charlie Chaplin died on Christmas Day 1977. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Chaplin's death, Dr. Lisa Stein will devote this year's newsletter to the theme of "Looking Back, Looking Forward: Charlie Chaplin in the 21st Century." A series of interviews will be conducted with people at the center of the field, including Charlie Chaplin fans. The first interview is with Cecilia Cenciarelli, head of Progetto Chaplin (the Chaplin Project) at the Cineteca di Bologna, Italy.
Can you describe the experience a scholar will have in visiting the Biblioteca to use the Chaplin archive database?
First of all, anybody with an interest in Chaplin can come visit us. It is true though that the Chaplin Archive Database is a rather specific tool, therefore some basic knowledge is needed as well as a certain familiarity with research and more in particular, OPAC* research.
What is the protocol for getting permission to use the database?
Visitors are required to make an appointment with our staff, explain their project be it a dissertation, an article or a book. Depending on the requests we receive we might need to forward their letters to the Association Chaplin for approval. To give an example: recently a German judge was researching the Tobis case and since legal proceedings are considered restricted files we consulted the Association first for final approval.
Once the researcher arrives here, he/she is provided access to the database and is assisted in his/her research by the Chaplin Project staff. No printing or burning CDs is allowed from the computer post. Researchers, scholars and students alike are usually very positively surprised by the variety of material they find and overall I believe they're all quite satisfied with their visits.
What sort of projects have been accepted in the past? Can you give me some examples? What sort of projects might be unacceptable?
Cinema students exploring the history of filmmaking in different times in history (organization of the work, writing and editing methods etc.), others interested in the passage between silent and sound cinema; communication students writing about the rediscovery of archival experience through technology, Chaplin scholars consulting the database for a particular period in his career (e.g. the Keystone-Essanay-Mutual era) a particular film or moment in a film (the final sequence in City Lights, the speech in The Great Dictator) or technique (recording of music), the relationship between Chaplin and the 1940 censorship etc.
Any project where use of the material out of context might result in something defamatory against Chaplin or his family is not considered acceptable as well as any other project which the Chaplin Association/Roy Export Company Est. as sole proprietor of these materials decides not authorize.
What resources does the archive offer?
The archive follows Chaplin's life and art – and by direct reflection the history of cinema and the history of the world – for almost a century. It includes production and post-production materials (shooting and daily production reports, cutting scripts, screenplays and annotated drafts of screenplays, scenarios, preparatory notes, storyboards, sketches, costume scripts etc.), promotion materials (exhibitor books, lobby cards, programs), shorts stories, business and private correspondence, press clippings, interviews, censorship papers, legal proceedings and more.
When Progetto Chaplin officially ends in 2007, what will happen? Will scholars still be allowed to visit the Biblioteca and use the database? Will the procedure still be the same? At some point, will scholars be able to request a password and search the database from a remote location?
When the Chaplin Project ends at the end of 2007 the procedure will basically remain the same. The Chaplin Research Centre will be officially inaugurated and we hope to welcome even a higher number of visitors every year.
The Association Chaplin will decide whether to authorize different ways of accessing the database but no remote access to all the documents has been considered so far, the general idea being that if you need to search Chaplin's Archive, Bologna is the place to go (and if I might add, not a terrible place to spend a week! Cliché but [therefore] true: excellent food, nice weather, bicycles, lots of theatres and cinemas, some interesting museums, and the oldest university in the world).
Our purpose is to improve the knowledge on Chaplin and keep a high interest on his art and genius for future generations as well as to promote his films through events, retrospectives and publications. Considering the content of the archive, there is certainly room for discovery!
Can you discuss what the Cineteca is planning for the Chaplin retrospective this year?
Cineteca di Bologna, like many other institutions in the world will in 2007 pay a tribute to Charlie Chaplin for the 30th anniversary of his death. For us this date also coincides with the end of our project and with the desire to share our work with the largest and most diversified audience possible.
Besides hosting, starting from the end of May, the monumental "Chaplin in Pictures" exhibit which opened in Paris in 2005 and has since then successfully toured Europe, we are going to show if not all, the great majority of Chaplin's films from 1914 through 1967. The retrospective will probably start around the first weeks of June with several screenings accompanied by Chaplin's restored scores played live by the Bologna Opera House orchestra, and will carry on during "Il Cinema Ritrovato" restoration festival (June 30th – July 7th) with more live events, brand new Keystone restorations, other silent and sound films and early Mutual and Essanay short-films. Updated information on the program will be provided soon on our web-site – Chapliniana: Chaplin in Bologna.

The author presents a poem about Tarentula and some materia medica.
Who said homeopathy would be serious stuff? You just have to look on the internet to find people laughing about homeopathy and its patients. But this is not what I want to write about.
I like music very much and almost any type of music which is somewhat harmonic and proves of good taste. Recently I heard Diana Navarro's new CD "Género Chica", which demonstrates her incomparable voice by presenting a variety of pieces related to the zarzuela. Zarzuela is a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating operatic and popular song, as well as dance. To say that I like the CD would be a huge understatement.
And their stings are very malicious.
And now I'm trembling all over.
And now I'm really ill.
May the devils eat each other!
Dancing is the only cure for this terrible pain.
Ay! Cursed be the spider that stung me!
But may this little creature be struck by a bolt.
Ay mother, I feel really bad.
Pain and trembling in the limbs.
Dancing is the only cure for this terrible pain. Constant movements of the legs, arms, trunk, with inability to do anything; twitching and jerking of muscles.Amelioration: In open air; music; rubbing affected parts.(H.C.Allen. Keynotes. B.Jain, 2000)Desire to run about, to dance. Great fantastic dancing. Trembling and jerking convulsions. It has an appearance very much like St.Vitus'Dance and hence has cured chorea when it was better from music. Sometimes music ameliorates all the symptoms and at other times it aggravates them. In the hysterical symptoms she is better from dancing.
Dancing mania, better by music.
Burning heat, and general perspiration.
Tickling, burning, scorching, and numbness are prominent sensations.
Emaciation is so martked that it may be said sometimes that the flesh falls off from him.
Stitching headache, as if of a thousand needles.
Aggravation: nervousness is worse from sadness. From sharp contact of affected areas. In wet and cold weather.
Amelioration: from rhythmic music. From mild rubbing of the affected parts. Walking in the open air when not cold. Decubitus better in darkness and silence.
Incoherent delirium, hallucinations. Dryness in mouth. Thirst for cold water but disgust to drink.
We find this remedy indicated in children with a psychomotor instability, whose motor incoordination and permanent agitation cause difficulties in school, with regard to their intellectual work as well as discipline. In adults, the neurotic component and anxiety are outstanding (their hardly predictable behavior). These nervous subjects are frequently very sexually excited.
Behavioral disorders: Because of the essentially neurotic connotation of symptoms to be treated and the uncertain nature of pathological symptoms, it is difficult to know which part of the therapeutic effect is due to the placebo effect. Nevertheless, it might be useful to prescribe this remedy in patients suffering from the following conditions (provided symptoms agree): psychomotor instability in children with an unstable character, in situations of school failure caused by attention deficit, lack of discipline and memory disturbances, sleep disorders with nightmares and nocturnal terror.


The magic of Bollywood brought the house down and had the fans screaming, whistling and dancing in the streets and aisles when it took over Tampa, Florida this past weekend. The stars descended on the Sunshine state and a Bollyfabulous time was had by all. We have been giving you sneak peeks along the way from Director of Choreography for the IIFA Magic of the Movies and TATA MOTORS IIFA AWARDS Shiamak Davar! In an EXCLUSIVE interview, we caught up with Shiamak one last time now that the lights have dimmed, the music has stopped, and the finale is done to get the scoop and his thoughts on the entire IIFA experience. Check it out!
How was the experience rehearsing in Tampa?
The energy in Tampa was fabulous. The bright sunshine and the clear weather was just perfect. We had long hours of rehearsals and a long list of stars, so we had to get in a lot.
What I always say and what is true is that my dance company has such great energy and stamina that it motivates me and inspires me always. They are sweating but smiling always and each one of them have such great style that I feel truly proud.
You had a lot of late night rehearsals with the stars; tell us about how those went.
When it comes to putting up a show at such a huge platform like IIFA, the pressure is immense, the venue RJ Stadium had such great infrastructure that I hope we come back soon for more shows.
The Wizcraft team and my backstage team are the true heroes who worked round the clock and planned every detail for months.
The stars are really sweethearts. As we have worked with each one of them the rapport was great between them and my dance company. As for me, I am humbled as each of them has this immense respect for me and to have such stars who are hassle free – choreographing becomes so much more easier. They all had a fixed schedule and it was like the stage was invaded by the stars!
You had a fabulous response from the audiences to your choreography, how does that feel?
The USA has this great love for Bollywood and I am sure this is just the beginning for more. The fans on the green carpet just made me feel like this huge icon, the love the respect just makes me and my dance company want to work harder. For each one who clapped, cheered and have sent me and the company compliments we can't thank you enough!
The stars were incredible in every number, what was it like to see them and your dance come alive on stage?
So much of hard work and planning goes on putting a stage and when on the final day you see this finally come alive one is for sure overwhelmed and excited.
I am blessed that legends like John Travolta and Kevin Spacey saw the acts.
Madhuri Dixit: She took my heart away during the shooting of Dil Toh Pagal Hai and like this performance each time she dances it takes my breath away. What she gave on the stage was something that I can't explain in words.
Hrithik Roshan: As soon as the act got over, the way the audiences reacted it was a high not only for me and my dance company but for Duggu as well. He had given his best and his each move to each beat reflected that. Soon after the act he came and met all my company members and hugged them, thanked them…it was just the way one reacts after they have a bowling match. His finale act totally was MIND BLOWING.
Deepika Padukone: She is diva and that is what she gave on the stage. If you are so dedicated to your work it ought to reflect in everything you do.
Siddharth Malhotra: With his first time on the USA stage and working with me and my company he proved to all that he is here to stay he shines on stage and makes all the female drool and on stage he was like a star.
How did the two winners' of the dance competition Simmi Singh and Jitesh Shahani do?
They worked hard, were not at all star struck and gave me their hundred percent and were pretty good on stage. I am proud of them and wish them luck.
How do you think everything turned out?
Simply perfect and the reaction and the feedback, which is pouring in, is just making us so proud. I want to thank each one for their love.
Your favorite moment of the shows?
The fact that we were putting up this show this event in USA was great.
Personally for me, meeting the legendary John Travolta was one thing I will never forget. I have been his huge fan and seeing him dance to my tunes and talking to him, I felt like a child.
During the show I got to also meet up with Kevin Spacey and it was extremely nice to see how humble and warm he was.
I had invited also the Zumba head Mr. Beto to see the show and getting to spend time with him was a great moment for me and all of us as well.
What did you love about IIFA and Tampa?
The warmth, the love, the positivity, the openness, the calmness, and the great sunshine.
Now that all the work is done, how does it feel?
Each time a show gets over one gets a feel of how a parent feels after a kids exams. Relieved, relaxed and rejoiced. It's great that my style and all the details in music and costumes were well appreciated. Such great work can happen when you have the fabulous Wiz Team and Mr. Viraf who we all adore.
Quality time with my sister and family and planning for the opening of my dance school in NYC, which should be before the year ends. So watch out for the date.
Thank you Mr. Davar! Here's looking to IIFA 2015 and more bollytastic naach numbers in the future!
Be sure to check out our picture galleries to see more of Mr. Davar's IIFA work on stage in all its glory!

Gus Poyet hoping for dynamic strike duo with Altidore and Fletcher at Sunderland
By FulhamsfinestNov 22, 2013, 8:43 PM EST
For many USMNT fans the friendly match with Scotland was a chance to truly bury an opponent they'd already smacked around the pitch once. It didn't exactly end that way.
For the Scottish side, they were hoping to exact revenge. They didn't make it there.
For Sunderland manager Gus Poyet, the 0-0 draw between the United States and Scotland was a snoozer just like it was to everyone else. He was looking for something vastly different.
"Unfortunately it was 0-0," Poyet said. "I was looking for a 3-3 draw with three from Fletcher and three from Jozy Altidore."
His point of view was a unique one when the two teams squared off last weekend, getting the chance to see the two Sunderland strikers "in the same game playing in different styles."
Now, he must get them on the same page in the same squad.
The pair have only played a total of 135 minutes together in the four matches since Poyet took over. But the 46-year-old Uruguayan said he wants to work on ways to fit both in at the same time.
"I would love to see them play together but we need to train a few things and play with them both. We need a few days but we haven't had that in the last few weeks because they were not here with the rest of the squad. My aim, if it is possible, is to play with two strikers and how we can manage to do it and which players we need is the part of what we need to work on. We will see. I think it is possible."
Sure, it's possible. But thus far, it hasn't worked. Altidore has not scored a Premier League goal yet this season, while Fletcher has two in seven matches.
Poyet has picked up a bigtime win over Manchester City since joining the club in the beginning of October, but only Fletcher started, leaving Altidore on the bench as just a 77th minute substitute – for Fletcher.
For the new boss, he believes ultimately the success of their possible partnership is ultimately up to the players.
"Sometimes it does matter what the manager thinks, it is up to the players to show that when you try it that it works," said Poyet. "They need to learn together, play together in training, practice, understand the movement of each other but it is not that easy."

It was a productive first National Team Olympic Recruitment Camp with a handful of athletes who were not previously on the radar stood out.
Via usarugby.org Fifty-seven athletes from around the country responded to USA Rugby's National Team Olympic Recruitment Camp last weekend at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
Men's Eagles Sevens Assistant Coach Chris Brown, USA Rugby National Sevens Director Alex Magleby, and Men's Eagles Head Coach Mike Tolkin looked on as the Olympic and World Cup hopefuls were put through multiple tests and drills Jan. 10 on the United States Olympic Committee pitch.
But the high performance team will ensure the next Camp draws some of the top non-rugby-playing male and female athletes.
Ryan Gallop of EIZA Human Performance, former Eagle Matt Hawkins, Paul Holmes of Tiger Rugby, and Chris Tombs of Serevi Rugby were also on hand in Chula Vista to assist with the Camp. With the next step for several of the athletes with Olympic aspirations likely meaning a place with a USA Rugby National Development Academy, Holmes and Tombs were able to scout for their own purposes while simultaneously noting the pros and cons of an open-tryout-type camp.
Though the Camp was held at the Olympic Training Center with mainly sevens-specific staff, Tolkin's presence brought a 15s flavor to the day.
Many of the athletes attending Camp took time away from the beginning of their spring 15s seasons to give the Eagles' head coach something to think about in a Rugby World Cup year.
"I thought there was a good amount that legitimately could've put their hand up [for selection]," he said. "I think seeing a guy in action is a lot more valuable for me personally. The sevens dynamic works a little differently; you can get that athlete in, you can fast-track them a little easier. Watching a 15s player in-game brings more value.
Some of the athletes had a rugby-playing background, while others had previously played sports like basketball and American football.
The versatility of "crossovers" was tested, said Brown, and it was eye-opening to see the level of play from athletes hoping to win a gold medal for the United States.

The MIAA champion Hope College women's basketball team will have to wait until the second round before launching play in the NCAA Division III tournament.
Seeded first in the Great Lakes region, the Flying Dutch (25-2) have drawn a bye in the first round and will host a second round game for the first time in more than a decade on Saturday, March 3.
Hope will host the winner of a Wednesday first round game which pits Ohio Wesleyan (21-6) at Lake Forest, Ill. (20-4).
The game will be played at Hope's Dow Center with a 3 p.m. tipoff.
The Flying Dutch will be making their fifth NCAA tournament appearance. Hope won the national championship in 1990, but lost in first round games in 1995, 1998 and 1999.
During its 1990 title run the Dutch played every tournament game at home. All of the first round game losses since have been on the road.
Coach Brian Morehouse's Dutch will carry a school-record 21-game winning streak into the tournament. The team's 25 victories is a single season school record.
The Flying Dutch went undefeated in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) and won the conference tournament this past weekend defeating Alma in the championship game, 64-59.
Appearing in the NCAA tournament for the fourth time (1992-95-99-01), Ohio Wesleyan won the championship of the North Coast Athletic Conference. The Lady Bishops have yet to win an NCAA tournament game.
Lake Forest is making its third NCAA tournament appearance (1994-00-01) after winning the championship of the Midwest Conference. A year ago Calvin of the MIAA defeated Lake Forest 68-42 in a first round game.
Washington, Mo. (23-2) is the three-time defending national champion.
Saturday's second round games will reduce the 50-team field to a "Sweet Sixteen" which will advance to sectional tournament action the weekend of March 9-10. The four sectional winners will advance to the Final Four in Danbury, Conn on March 16-17.
The Flying Dutch have played two teams in the tournament field. Hope defeated Bowdoin, Me. (19-7) in their season opener at a tournament hosted by Lake Forest, 61-43. The Dutch also defeated Thomas More, Ky. (13-11) in a home tournament in December, 77-37.

We are putting a list together of parents that are interested in sending their children to the 'Irish language medium unit' hosted at the Kinsale Community School. A meeting was held last year and a talk was given by the Principle of the Community School, Seán O'Brion. The next step is to provide Seán with a list of children's names who are interested in this 'Irish language medium unit', to determine if this is a viable option and getting an idea of numbers will dirve this. Currently we are only interested to hear from parents in Ranga 4 as they will be the first year.
Can you forward the name of your child if you are interested.

Seismic retrofit holds many benefits including helping homes withstand earthquakes. This process can help keep building and structures standing during an earthquake and help ensure their stability should they go through an earthquake. While some may have never heard of seismic retrofitting, others know what it is and are actively learning more so they can help prepare their homes.


Now a Congress-Trinamool tiff in Bengal?
Congress is expected to begin formal seat sharing talks with the Trinamool led by Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee within a week. Elections in West Bengal will take place from April 18 to May 10 in six phases.
Congress also feels this is the best chance to make it big in West Bengal because most pundits feel the Left Front, which has ruled the state since 1977, is on its way out.
But the Trinamool, which is determined to come to power on its own, may be willing to concede only 58 seats to the Congress which in recent years has lost much of its earlier clout in the state to Mamata Banerjee.
Congress leader and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee Tuesday met district presidents and MPs from the state to identify the seats the party wishes to contest, the sources said.
Former union minister Shakeel Ahmed, the Congress in-charge of West Bengal, said informal discussions had taken place with the Trinamool but formal seat sharing talks were yet to begin.
"No formal discussions have taken place. We will sit together and hopefully arrive at a mutually agreeable number for both parties," Ahmed told IANS.
He said the talks were likely to take place in a week.
Ahmed, who met district presidents for more than three hours Tuesday, took feedback about the party's victory prospects.
In Tamil Nadu, the Congress managed to have its say after earlier being denied its wish to contest from 63 constituencies by the ruling DMK, which wanted the Congress to field candidates only in 60 seats.

Why Karl Lagerfeld Paris Needs Stitch Fix to Reach Its New Plus-Size Customers
The brand debuted expanded size offerings in partnership with the online personal styling service.

Karl Lagerfeld knows well the pain of loving clothes that don't fit you. When Hedi Slimane designed for Dior Homme in the early aughts, Lagerfeld said he was inspired to pursue what would be a more than 90-pound weight loss in just over a year to fit into Slimane's designs.
Today, it's not bodies that need adjusting, but rather the size of the clothes themselves, bucking the outdated thinking. That's why online personal styling service Stitch Fix is teaming up with Karl Lagerfeld Paris in an exclusive design partnership to off Karl Lagerfeld Paris in plus sizes for the first time, coinciding with Karl Lagerfeld Paris's U.S. expansion.
Karl Lagerfeld Paris (KLP), the eponymous, accessible brand the German creative icon launched in 2016 as part of his branded empire, began offering 15 classic feminine styles — think tweed blazers, pearl embellished knits, floral printed midi skirts — for Stitch Fix starting in April, with a refresh in May, followed by a new collection of fall options in August. Prices range from $39 to $148 (mid- to low-range prices compared to Stitch Fix's existing offerings) and include sizes 1X to 3X and 14W to 24W.
Though KLP may be new to the plus-size market, the space is becoming increasingly competitive, as online only and brick-and-mortar retailers are waking up to the sales potential of the $20 billion-plus market opportunity. But what is it that makes Stitch Fix the best partner for Karl Lagerfeld Paris?

Stitch Fix has among the most robust plus-size offerings of any clothing subscription service, something that has been a focus for chief executive Katrina Lake. When Stitch Fix launched plus-size in February 2017 — a long-awaited moment for the more than 75,000 women on the company's plus-size waitlist — it did so with roughly 75 brands, and has more than doubled its plus-size offerings across styles and price points in the year since, according to the company. That kind of roster gives the company leverage when approaching other brands to become exclusive plus-size partners.
With a deep well of data about consumer preferences and sizing — not to mention the stacked bench of plus-size options that make it a destination for shoppers — Stitch Fix is an attractive option for brands who've yet to enter plus-size to partner. "Karl Lagerfeld Paris is excited to offer the Stitch Fix customer an exclusive opportunity to enter our world," a spokesperson said via email. "Our partnership gives the opportunity for more American women to be part of a revolution in style and technology."
Of course, other companies offer plus-sizes in their subscription services. Stitch Fix's biggest competitor in this space, Amazon, has Amazon Prime Wardrobe, which allows users to fill a box with items of their choosing and try on at home risk-free. (Compare that to Stitch Fix, which uses a combination of algorithm and personal stylists that curate a selection for you.)
While Amazon is trying its best to convince buyers it can be a fashion company, too, it still has a brand equity problem. Some analysts worry about "lax knock-off policies" that make it easy to find fraudulent and counterfeit products on the platform, ultimately making it less attractive to names like KLP, which rely on strong branding.
Aside from Amazon, there are a handful of other retailers in on the subscription box game, though some — Le Tote Select, Wantable and Daily Look — don't offer plus-size at all. Trunk Club, which does offer plus-size in its boxes, still isn't quite as comprehensive in their offerings as Stitch Fix. Trunk Club is owned by Nordstrom, which is among the weakest in its offerings of plus-size dresses compared to its competitors JC Penney and Kohl's.
Dia & Co., a subscription service which caters exclusively to the plus-size market, might have also been a fit for KLP, since their price points are already in alignment. (On average, an item in a Dia & Co. box costs $55.) But Dia & Co. doesn't have nearly the reach — nor the financial backing — that Stitch Fix, which went public in November 2017, does. Gwynnie Bee, another exclusively plus-size retailer that has its own subscription service, is priced lower than KLP and again, doesn't quite match Stitch Fix's reach.
In addition to offering the most options to plus-size shoppers, Stitch Fix also garners the most attention on social media for both its subscription service as well as its plus-size boxes. Charting data from 2012 to 2018, consumer insights firm Crimson Hexagon found that discussions about apparel subscription box services have exploded in the last year, especially in the plus-size space, with Stitch Fix being the clear frontrunner.
Across platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others, posts about Stitch Fix's plus-size boxes makes up 94 percent of the share of posts, ahead of Trunk Club, ModCloth and Amazon Prime Wardrobe. As Olivia Deng, Crimson Hexagon analyst puts it: "Stitch Fix dominates both the subscription box brands conversation and the plus-size subscription box brands conversation."
Stitch Fix might be leading the pack when it comes to plus-size offerings, but that hasn't discouraged other players from rising to the occasion. No matter who comes out ahead of the race to be the go-to plus-size shopping destination, everyone wins.

MEPRA CREATIVE FESTIVAL AND 10TH PR AWARDS BRINGS TOGETHER MORE THAN 500 PROFESSIONALS TO LEARN, SHARE KNOWLEDGE AND CELEBRATE THE INDUSTRY'S BEST
news By Liezl Guipetacio | Posted on December 12, 2018 [easy-share]
MEPRA concluded its inaugural creative communications festival, REMAP, with more than 500 industry professionals in attendance. The festival included a creative proposal competition, masterclasses and a congress, and culminated with the 10th MEPRA Awards Gala on the 28th November 2018. The Awards ceremony saw Brazen take home Small Agency of the Year and Hill+Knowlton Strategies win the coveted tile of Large Agency of the Year.
The Small In-House Team of the Year prize was awarded to Marriott International MEA and Large In-House Team of the Year went to Emirates Global Aluminium. Big winners for the night were Hill+Knowlton Strategies, who took home 13 awards, closely followed by Four Communications Group with 12 awards to their name. This year marked the 10th edition of the MEPRA Awards, which celebrates and recognises the most impactful and creative campaigns in the Middle East. More than 30 agencies and in-house communication teams were shortlisted across 26 categories.
Brazen's Jennifer Love and Etihad Aviation Group's Ellie Swingewood were crowned The Dave Robinson Outstanding Young Communicators of the Year, for Agency and In-house respectively, and will each receive a MEPRA Academy scholarship. The prize includes eight complimentary training sessions from the 2019 MEPRA Academy calendar to assist with their continuous professional development.
The 2018 Chairman's award was awarded to Amina Taher, VP Corporate Affairs, Etihad Aviation Group for outstanding contribution to the industry.
This year saw 231 entries submitted, which were assessed by a panel of more than 50 regional and international industry experts to select the 2018 finalists and winners. The judging process was also reviewed by AMEC CEO Barry Leggetter, who served as an independent adjudicator.
MEPRA Vice Chair, Deema Kingsmill-Moore said:
"The 2018 MEPRA Awards represent the culmination of a decade devoted to nurturing the regional communications sector. The quality of the work and the calibre of PR practitioners recognized this year demonstrate the impact our organization continues to make in regional communications, faithful always to our founding principal of representing our members and amplifying the power of their work. In recognition of this milestone, MEPRA extended its annual Awards event with the launch of an accompanying series of communications industry events. The 'REMAP' masterclass is designed entirely to make us better at what we do. Household industry names came to impart critical insights to an audience of the best and brightest in Middle East Public Relations."
For the first time, the MEPRA Awards were preluded by a series of industry events under the brand REMAP. The three-day festival provided practitioners from across the region the chance to learn, share knowledge and celebrate the best through one event in Dubai. The REMAP masterclasses, which were held from 26-27 November, 2018 included a workshop on 'How to Run a PR Agency', led by David Brain, the former President and CEO of Edelman, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and a session on 'Mastering Government Communications' with Gemmaine Walsh, the Director of Communications for the UK Government.
The REMAP creative communications congress held on the 28th November in the lead up to the Awards brought in six renowned international speakers to discuss the evolution of modern PR, building connections through content and tapping into the minds of content creators to unleash the undiscovered realm of creative thinking.
Speakers included, Anthony Geffen, an Emmy & BAFTA Award winning creative director; Ryan Holiday, a marketing guru and international best-selling author; and Gerry Hopkinson, CEO and Founder of Unity London, an agency which has been awarded 'Most Creative Agency in the World' by Holmes Report and Creative Consultancy of the Year by SABRE. VICE MENA, Snapchat, Google, Hyper Island, Promont and RCG Media also joined the stellar line up of speakers to deliver inspiring debates engaging topics and showcase globally recognised campaigns.
MEPRA Chair, Ray Eglington said: "This festival of creative communications has been the biggest and most successful event in MEPRA's history, reflecting the growing maturity of the industry in the region. We've been delighted to welcome such an impressive array of international experts and to celebrate the excellence of the award-winning campaigns."
The 2018 MEPRA Awards and REMAP Festival was supported by corporate and agency partners including, APCO Worldwide, Etihad Aviation Group, Mubadala Investment Company, Four Communications Group, Hanover Middle East, CARMA, Multiply Consultancy, Hill+Knowlton Strategies, Kingston Stanley, YouGov, LexisNexis, Middlesex University Dubai and PRWeek.

Global tide of nuclear abolition has ebbed causing tensions among nations, Ban warns
28 April 2015 – Achieving a world free of nuclear weapons is "one of the most crucial debates of our time," United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today, emphasizing that the international tide of nuclear abolition – so strong in 2010 – has ebbed and mounting tensions between nuclear-armed States have produced a return to Cold War mind sets.
"Nuclear weapons are again becoming embedded in national defence strategies. Support has deepened for misguided doctrines of deterrence," Mr. Ban said in a message delivered by UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Angela Kane to the Symposium and High-Level Panel on the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Nuclear Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Energy; Fresh Ideas for the Future.
"Modernization programmes envisage retention of these deadly weapons for decades to come. Nuclear weapon States have not demonstrated the leadership required to break the status quo, instead attaching hollow conditions to their disarmament obligations," Mr. Ban added in the message.
The Symposium, a side event held in connection with the 2015 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which opened yesterday at UN Headquarters, was also expected to hear from UN Messenger of Peace, Michael Douglas.
"This Review Conference offers an opportunity to change the narrative; to remind all States parties that their collective good is best served by the full implementation of – and compliance with – all of the Treaty's goals; and to put us back on course," Mr. Ban said, calling on participants to provide ideas that will "propel us down the path to a world free of nuclear weapons."
For over four decades, the Treaty has been a bulwark against the spread of the most dangerous and inhumane weapons ever devised, and it has been a central and essential mechanism for their elimination. Calling it "indispensable," Mr. Ban said the Treaty has strengthened the security of all States parties, serving as a foundation for international security. Over the course of its history, the NPT has also helped cope with multiple challenges and competing positions.
While the ultimate goal of the NPT – to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and to bring about their elimination – has not changed, the international security climate has evolved and continued to do so, with new problems constantly "testing our resolve," Mr. Ban said.
To be effectively implemented, the Treaty requires constant tending to ensure that it remains strong and capable of safeguarding against the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons.
"We need new ideas to shore up the NPT, to confront new obstacles head on, and to overcome them," he said. "Proliferation challenges persist. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea continues with its dangerous and destabilizing activities, flouting international law and the will of the international community."
At the same time, despite valiant efforts, the conference on a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction has not yet taken place, Mr. Ban noted. The benefits of such a zone are manifold, including regional peace and stability.
"We have seen the sheer emergence of a movement seeking to address the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons. This has re-energized a frozen debate, reminding us that the indiscriminate and catastrophic costs of nuclear weapons are, at their core, human costs," he added.
The 2015 Review Conference will run at UN Headquarters in New York through 22 May. The President-designate of the Conference is Ambassador Taous Feroukhi from Algeria.
The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. It represents the only binding commitment in a multilateral treaty to the goal of disarmament by the nuclear-weapon States.

Female CEOs are scarce, but history shows they can produce huge returns
Female CEOs may be few and far between, making up less than 5 percent of CEOs in the S&P 500, but history shows they've been able to generate big returns for investors.
Of the 24 female CEOs in the S&P 500, 13 have led their companies' stocks to outperform the index in terms of cumulative total returns during their tenures. Some have managed to produce triple- and even quadruple-digit percentage gains.
The average year-to-date return from the 24 female-run companies was over 12 percent as of Friday's close, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, which has made it a mission to promote gender equality through its parent company S&P Global and the #ChangePays initiative. For comparison, the average year-to-date return for male-run S&P 500 companies was around 11 percent.
Yet, even with these gains, the combined market cap of S&P 500 companies with female CEOs totals just over $1 trillion, while the same statistic for male-run companies exceeds $24 trillion.
To make matters more complicated for female CEO hopefuls, the percentage of female CEO appointments at S&P 500 companies has actually dropped in the last decade, averaging less than 6 percent in the last four years, according to Katie Darden, associate director of financial institutions research at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
"What really hit home as I was doing this analysis was just how little data we had to work with," Darden said in a phone interview, highlighting her never-before-published data set provided exclusively to CNBC. "We were dealing with such small numbers of female CEO announcements. That became kind of the main takeaway to me."
The biggest outperformer of female-run S&P 500 companies is health-care-focused real estate investment trust Ventas, which has generated a cumulative total return of 2,559 percent since CEO Debra Cafaro took over in March 1999. The S&P's cumulative returns for the same period is roughly 215 percent.
Other companies that handily beat the S&P's performance include Advanced Micro Devices under CEO Lisa Su, with a nearly 427 percent return; Lockheed Martin under Marillyn Hewson, which has returned 293 percent to shareholders; Ulta under Mary Dillon, who has driven returns of nearly 226 percent; and Ross Stores under Barbara Rentler, with 175 percent returns.
Kohl's CEO Michelle Gass, Anthem CEO Gail Boudreaux, Progressive Group Tricia Griffith, Alliant Energy CEO Patricia Kampling, General Dynamics CEO Phebe Novakovic, American Water Works CEO Susan Story, Arista Networks CEO Jayshree Ullal and Northrop Grumman CEO Kathy Warden have also produced higher cumulative total returns than the S&P.
"We see more companies led by women perform really well," said Darden, the S&P Global researcher. Still, she hopes that, "at some point, we'll stop having the conversation of, 'Do companies do better if they're led by a man or a woman?'"
"I'm looking forward to seeing more representation not just numerically, but in terms of the industries where these women are leading companies," she added, noting that in sectors like industrials and materials, female representation is very low or, plainly, "zilch."
Darden's research in partnership with Kensho also found that investors tend to balk when companies elevate women to chief executive positions, with underperformance hitting 1.8 percent after three months.
"On the day of the announcement, it seemed that companies announcing new female CEOs actually outperformed somewhat, not by huge amounts, but somewhat, and then lagged a bit," Darden told CNBC. "But […] once you get about 3 months out, you're looking at some noticeable underperformance by companies that announced an incoming female CEO."
Other notable leaders
While their companies didn't produce the gains needed to beat the S&P during their tenures, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty and General Motors CEO Mary Barra have made huge impacts on their organizations.
Under Rometty, IBM changed its stripes to fit the new era of technology, doubling down on artificial intelligence with IBM Watson and most recently purchasing cloud computing company Red Hat, setting Big Blue apart from the rest of its rivals.
Barra has helped her massive automaker focus on selling more popular trucks and crossovers, successfully cut costs and brought new focus to GM's electric car and autonomous vehicle initiatives.
The market might not always have faith in female leaders, but records show investors might need to rethink that calculus.
Not only would encouraging women to join the broader workforce add nearly $6 trillion to the global market cap in 10 years, according to S&P Global, but matching the number of women to the number of men in the workforce could at $12 trillion to the global GDP by 2025, says McKinsey.
But Darden's still hoping for a day when gender exits the picture entirely.
"Of course we should hire the best people for the job, and the best people for the job can come from anywhere in the company," she said. "And so I think encouraging women to tackle more challenges within their current careers and in other areas they might not have pursued earlier is a great idea. Obviously, ensuring equal compensation for equal work, but also ensuring that the way we define valuable work is not defined by gender."
A final thought: The YWCA Impact Shares Women's Empowerment ETF, which tracks an index of companies around the world with strong policies focused on women's empowerment and gender equality, is outperforming both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 this year.
So, for those considering where to put their money, history shows it might be more lucrative to bet on ladies.

New York Rangers center Brandon Dubinsky was given a game misconduct and kicked out of Game 2 of the Rangers-Senators series just 2:15 into the first period. He was given the penalty for being the third man in a fight between Brian Boyle of the Rangers and Matt Carkner of the Senators.
Check out the video above. Carkner comes across the entire ice surface, checks Boyle with his elbow up high then immediately sucker-punches him twice bringing him to the ice where Carkner procedes to throw at least four haymakers at a vulnerable player completely unable to defend himself. Boyle didn't get so much as a roughing minor on the play, making the call of third man in during an altercation laughable.
Dubinsky wasn't trying to join Boyle in a beat down of Carkner, he was protecting a teammate, plain and simple. He doesn't throw a punch, just tries to stop an ambush the referee was standing around allowing to happen. It was the referee's decision whether or not to give him the game misconduct and by doing so, means he felt Dubinsky was giving Boyle an advantage in a fair fight.
Boyle is no saint himself, he threw a few punches at Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson in Game 1 to start what is becoming the nastiest series of the playoffs so far. But could he really be expected to just lay there and take it? Boyle only threw a few soft ones while Carkner was actively beating a fallen player, breaking one of the more sensible unwritten rules in hockey.
The dirty play wasn't done there, however, as the Rangers got even in the cheapshot department as rookie Carl Hagelin hit Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson with an elbow, receiving a major penalty. Alfredsson did not return to the game.
Dubinsky's presence was clearly missed as the Blueshirts blew two leads and lost in overtime on a goal by Chris Neil. The series will head back to Canada's capital tied at one game apiece and Game 3 is Monday at 7:30.

Top Line Talent's learning moves online to cut trainers' travel time and reach a wider audience
Top Line Talent is a provider of advanced sales training based in Chicago. It is the only 100% online programme designed to coach consultative selling skills to experienced salespeople.
Top Line Talent provides sales consultant training to salespeople on a global scale. Most of the sale training was delivered by travelling to meet clients for face-to-face seminars and holding conferences with a large audience. These were often in geographically dispersed locations, meaning a lot of time and money was spent on these events.
The constant travelling was becoming tiring, and Top Line Talent needed a new solution to enable them to deliver training more efficiently. They were interested in the possibility of recording videos of themselves giving these seminars to enable them to be delivered remotely, anytime – and as well as this, they were interested in building blended programmes with other types of hands-on learning, including journals, surveys and quizzes.
With these plans for a new, remotely delivered programme, Top Line Talent approached Technology Transfer. Technology Transfer recommended Totara Learn as the most appropriate learning management system (LMS) for Top Line Talent's needs, and suggested ways for them to incorporate all the content they needed for their blended programme within the platform.
While Top Line Talent provided all the content, Technology Transfer were responsible for setting up and implementing Totara Learn, including designing the look and feel and setting up the self-enrolment process and delivery methods. Technology Transfer also got Top Line Talent started with Totara Learn's journal and quiz features to enable them to include more interactive elements in their courses, as well as ensuring their video content was as engaging and easy to access as possible.
A unique element of this solution was the use of the journal functionality within Totara Learn. Users are invited to enter their own responses to questions throughout the programme, which are pulled into a personalised eBook at the end of the course. This then gives them a takeaway resource to allow them to reflect on their responses and to act as refresher material for future learning opportunities.
Totara Learn was the platform of choice for Technology Transfer's solution because it's quick and easy to create new programmes on the fly, it's intuitive and it's a very user-friendly tool. Top Line Talent also liked the fact that enrolment could be set up based on the learner's position, and Totara Learn allows them to limit how long people are enrolled for to help them manage the course administration.
Top Line Talent is hands down one of the best sales training programs I have ever been through. This program sets the bar as the superior sales methodology! I was skeptical at first because it was self-paced, online and over the course of 3-4 months versus actually going through a face to face course. However, after going through the program, I highly recommend this based on the scientific and retention aspects alone. This program clearly outlines how personality type fits into the overall consultative sales process and why this is so imperative for an effective sales organization. The psychological aspect of this program alone is something that is clearly lacking in other sales training programs. Dr. Watts is brilliant and anyone who has anything to do with sales is missing out by not working with him! – Michelle Oldham, Managing Director, Business Development and Strategy
The LMS is currently in its early stages, with around 100 users currently making use of the system. However, feedback has been very positive, and moving the content online has enabled Top Line Talent to drastically reduce their travel requirements, saving time and money.
Based on surveys about how much users have enjoyed the programme so far, learners have found the LMS very easy to use and have encountered no technical issues. Top Line Talent also particularly likes the live logs, which enable them to monitor site activity, and the custom reporting interface set up by Technology Transfer gives them a better insight into progress and performance.

IOM Fears Further Rise in South Africa Anti-immigrant Violence
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says it is concerned about the latest anti-immigrant violence in South Africa and warns of a further escalation if the root causes of the xenophobic riots are not tackled.
IOM condemns the spate of anti-immigrant violence organized by individual citizens and community associations in Rosettenville, south of Johannesburg, and in the South African capital of Pretoria.
It is calling for calm and for an end to the attacks, looting and burning of property owned by foreign nationals earlier this week.
South African protesters accuse the African migrants of taking their jobs and being responsible for a rise in crime.
IOM spokesman Itayi Viriri says those who have grievances against the migrants should not take the law into their own hands. Instead, they should air their complaints with the local authorities.
"There is no real tangible evidence that there is an increase in crime because of migrants. On the contrary, research shows that immigrants who go to South Africa do not harm the long-term employment prospects and wages of native-born workers. In fact, quite a lot of them create small businesses. And, in fact, most of those who are being targeted now are small-business owners," he said.
Viriri told VOA that IOM fears the violence could get worse because migrants say they plan to mobilize themselves for their own protection.
"Right now, what is happening is that we have also a situation whereby some of the migrants, unlike last time, say they are going to protect themselves and by that virtue sort of escalate the whole situation. Before, we did not have maybe a situation whereby the migrants said they were going to stand up for themselves or not wait for police protection. … Obviously, that is very worrisome because it escalates the whole situation far more than it is," Viriri said.
Indeed, a standoff between anti-immigrant protesters and migrants Friday during a march organized by the Mamelodi Concerned Residents in Pretoria turned violent. Police had to use tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon to try to disperse the groups.

Four Peaks Four Legends
I am rounding up 30 paintings from "The Illustrated Life & Times of Geronimo" to be included in an art show at the Scottsdale Museum of the West on January 16.
I had Kathy help me choose the best paintings (there are 67 original BBB illustrations in the book) and as she did so, she pulled out a handful of them and said, "If these are going to be in a museum show, these five need more work."
Ha. This is funny because they are in the book as is, and if I "improve" them, what will that say about the images in the book? Never mind. It was good advice.
Some of the fixes were small; pencil lines visible, sloppy eyes, and I fixed those in ten minutes. A couple of the others are more problematic and challenging, and I spent all day yesterday—and a half-day-today—trying to salvage one of them.
My original take on Sibi's Crew was a parody of Frederic Remington and how he would approach the concept (in fact, it's signed "Freddy Remington, 1888" in the lower right-hand corner). As I was cleaning it up for the show I found myself falling back under the spell of these four legendary characters and how obvious, it seems to me, that a movie is in there waiting to be filmed.
Four Peaks in snow
There was a time in the mid-1880s when the Apache Kid, Al Sieber, Tom Horn and Mickey Free rode the rez together enforcing their own harsh brand of justice. This is actually true and it's why the painting is in the book. In terms of a movie idea, from there, the Apache Kid seeks vengeance (true), Sieber is wounded in the resulting showdown (also true) and Mickey and Tom Horn join forces with N-Jim and go after the Kid who escapes to Mexico. (true, true and true enough)
So, here's the reworked painting. You can compare it to the one in the book and I have a hunch you will exclaim to yourself, like I did, "Damn dude, listen to your wife more!"
Daily Whip Out: "The Rez Riders"
Left to right: The Apache Kid, Al Sieber,

And, yes, that is Four Peaks in the background.
"The next time you're afraid to share ideas, just remember someone once said in a pitch meeting, 'Let's make a movie with a tornado full of sharks.'"

For every partner in time, there's a partner in crime. Chloe and Max's relationship is the lynchpin for Life is Strange, even above finding out what happened to Rachel.
Shippers rejoice! DiscoverGeek has tracked down the best Pricefield-centric Life is Strange gifts to show why — logic be damned! — bae will always > bay.
Only Chloe and Max could use the word hella in the noughties and have it catch on. Unlike fetch, it's happening, has happened, and will continue to happen. Hella-yeah.
The Life is Strange visuals are beautiful and the game even beat Stranger Things to referencing Stand By Me, mere minutes after Pricefield had this heart-to-heart. More a Stranger Things kind of person? Check out this Stranger Things Merchandise Article.
Which are you? I'm an amalgamation of Chloe and Max, with Chloe at the forefront, so this'd be mine and the applications to fill the role of Girlfriend-Max will be available from an online printout, coming to a computer near you in never.
Matching notebooks. Can you get any better for a couple of writers who love Chloe and Max?
And yeah, that's a St Vincent reference, in case you thought I couldn't get any queerer. (Or geekier.) I could if I wore this Pricefield ringer and I totally would.
As far as Life is Strange gifts go, I really really like to see what other fans come up with. The heart that goes into artwork like this is pretty much my favorite thing about this contraption we call the Internet.
First St Vincent, now a punny Alicia Keys film reference. You know why? They listen to the first while watching the second… when they're not kissing.
Wouldn't it have been nice if Arcadia Bay hadn't had to go f itselfie, and Chloe and Max still could have ended up together this way? I know, "Then there wouldn't be a game" but you wouldn't be a game. So.
Pick up Kate's call while you're sketching your pictures in this! That way, Chloe won't have a hissy fit when you do, because she'll literally be in front of you the whole time.
Were they destined to be together or destined never to be? With this shirt, the latter will never ever be true. And just like that, they lived happily ever after in the ruins and between all of the corpses of Arcadia Bay. Swoon.
Can't get enough of Pricefield? We feel you and collected even more Life is Strange Merchandise.

DOJ to Appeal AT&T-Time Warner Merger
By Mike Farrell
A month after a federal judge squashed the U.S. Dept. of Justice's attempt to block the $108.7 billion AT&T-Time Warner merger, the agency appears to be going ahead with an appeal to again challenge the deal.
In his June 12 ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon said the government failed to prove its argument that the deal would lead to higher prices for content for both consumers and other service providers, and urged the DOJ not to appeal. But just weeks after Judge Leon's ruling, AT&T raised the price of its DirecTV Now service by $5 per month, a move that DOJ could possibly use to prove its earlier point.
Related: AT&T Completes Time Warner Purchase
In its two-page notice filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, DOJ simply stated its intention to appeal Judge Leon's ruling.
"Notice is hereby given that the United States of America, plaintiff in the above named case, hereby appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from the final judgment entered in this action on June 12, 2018," DOJ said in its filing. .
In a statement, AT&T said it is ready for the latest stage of what has become a lengthy legal battle.
"The Court's decision could hardly have been more thorough, fact-based, and well-reasoned," AT&T General Counsel David McAtee, said in a statement. "While the losing party in litigation always has the right to appeal if it wishes, we are surprised that the DOJ has chosen to do so under these circumstances. We are ready to defend the Court's decision at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals."
While the appeal will set the stage for a second round of legal proceedings, it isn't yet known if the agency will take a different path in its appeal. Some analysts have suggested that Justice might focus on how the combination of a major programmer and an ISP could pose a more serious antitrust risk.
"The AT&T-Time Warner transaction is a bad deal for consumers and competition," said Public Knowledge Senior counsel John Bergmayer. "Since it has gone forward, AT&T has already raised prices for its DirectTV Now video service, more than doubled the mysterious 'administrative fee' it tacks on to most of its wireless bills, and raised the price of some of its wireless plans while removing the HBO subscription that it had previously included. Judge Leon's decision contained numerous errors, and we believe the DOJ's position should be vindicated."

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane. <i>Blue Note</i>.
Until now, the short-lived alliance of jazz pioneers Monk and Coltranecould be heard only on a handful of studio tracks and a low-fi nightclub recording. This exhilarating, recently discovered, late-'57 concert enhances the picture. With his angular, elegant piano solos, Monk had already transformed traditional influences such as stride into a modern, idiosyncratic style. Though years from the sheets of noise that would spark raging controversy, and still do, tenor saxophonist Coltrane displays a smoldering, restless intensity diametrically opposed to Monk's playful ease. Ostensibly the junior partner, Coltrane regularly upstages his host. On Monk originals like "Epistrophy" and "Crepuscule with Nellie," and the dazzling nine-minute version of the standard "Sweet and Lovely," Coltrane eagerly bends the sturdy melodies, inserting notes that might ring false in less skilled hands. Meanwhile, Monk seems characteristically unruffled, providing a cool, refreshing counterpoint.

The painful road to get what you need.
This division of a paycheck company has 180 users working in a converted warehouse with very dirty power, says a net admin pilot fish working there.
By fish's calculation, the new UPS will handle all the site's current needs and allow for plenty of growth. And he's pretty pleased that he has solved the problem.
Fish sets up a meeting with the division bean counter and gives him the full pitch in glorious detail: what the site has, what it needs, how much it will cost and — most important — that this will eliminate the power issues the site regularly suffers from.
Apparently, fish's answer isn't satisfactory. His request for the new UPS is denied. Reason: It's unnecessary.
"Three months later, we lost power to the building when an accident took out a power transformer," says fish. "The resultant surges took out a $3,500 riser card in my main network switch.

Leading grassroots and legislative campaigns to safeguard the valley's air, water, land and other irreplaceable natural resources.
Preserved open space (Photo: Robert Rodriguez, Jr.)
Preserved open space along the Binnen Kill (Photo: Robert Rodriguez, Jr.)
The Hudson River and its waterfronts play a major role in sustaining the health and well-being of valley residents. They also drive the region's robust tourism economy.
We educate, engage and mobilize citizens, communities, leaders and elected officials (from small towns to Albany and Washington, DC) to:
Halt threats and increase public access to the river
Block irresponsible industrial or residential development
Support "win-win" projects that deliver economic gains and protect the environment
Push for environmental funding and legislation that benefit valley communities
Since 1963, we've spearheaded dozens of campaigns to stop projects that would have destroyed iconic views and polluted our air and water.
We've also played key roles in major environmental initiatives, including establishment of the Hudson River Estuary Program, the Coastal Management Program, the Hudson River Valley Greenway and the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area.
These cancer-causing toxins contaminate 200 miles of the river, imperiling humans and wildlife and delaying economic opportunity.
If built, this fossil-fuel plant would contribute to climate change, set back NY's clean energy goals, and pollute our air and water.
Sea gates to halt flooding in NYC from events like Superstorm Sandy could damage 150 miles of irreplaceable aquatic habitat.
This proposal would create barriers at popular destinations for fishing, launching boats and enjoying river views.
Our Advocacy Legacy
Expanded Crude Oil Operations (Albany)
Decreasing the likelihood of hazardous spills and health threats in local neighborhoods, Global Partners decided not to build new crude oil facilities. We partnered in opposing the expanded operations.
Pilgrim Pipelines (Hudson Valley)
We engaged citizens and communities to oppose this proposal to construct two crude oil pipelines through the valley. The outcry against the project led to its abandonment, halting potential environmental, public health and safety threats.
Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant (Buchanan)
Ending the harm it causes aquatic wildlife and public safety, New York State and plant owner Entergy agreed to close this outdated facility by 2021 — ending our decades-long campaign to shut it down.
Rockland Desalination Plant (Haverstraw)
Our six-year campaign to halt construction of an environmentally harmful desalination plant on Haverstraw Bay — site of some of the river's most important aquatic habitats — ended in victory when plans to build the facility…
