Q: Extract matched dataset I need to perform propensity score in order to match patients from 2 groups (example: treatment A and treatment B). I usually do it with "MatchIt" package which allow me to extract matched dataset through the function "match.data".
Now, I need to perform propensity score in order to match patients from more than 2 groups (example: treatment A, treatment B and treatment C). I performed it through "twang" package, but I'm not able to extract the matched dataset (what "match.data" does in "MatchIt" package).
Can anyone help me?

A: twang doesn't do propensity score matching. It does propensity score weighting (that's what the W in TWANG stands for). No units are dropped, and each unit receives a weight estimated by mnps(). You can use that weight in a survey-weighted regression of the outcome on the treatment. For example, if you mnps() output object is called m.out, you would run:
summary(svyglm(Y ~ A, design = svydesign(~1, weights = m.out$weights, data = data)))

That will produce treatment effect estimates.
I would urge you to consult a statistician instead of trying to do this analysis yourself. Propensity score analysis with multi-category treatments is a more complicated type of analysis than the ease of the software may make it seem. See my posts about this on CrossValidated for more information.


"By opening my eyes... where am I?
One wonders why such simple urban parks, these immense vacuities, are so rarely seen in other countries. Such a semblance of nothing is no small feat... leaving this huge, empty space open for all. One imagines the energy it must have taken to protect it. The constant care that must go into its maintenance, to keep the grass at just the right height, the trees in perfect health, so that everyone might stroll through this peaceful space and feel they are at home, in their city, in their park, the most natural thing in the world. So that whatever my mood, my desire for exteriority, alone, as a couple, with family or friends, whatever my age, the idea of spending a few minutes or a few hours in Hyde Park remains a peaceful temptation." to find out more..

Win a Signed Album From Jack Savoretti!
I am giving away two albums signed by Jack Savoretti, whose song "Wonder" will be featured in the coda of tonight's One Tree Hill.
Savoretti, who hails from London, digitally released his latest album "Harder Than Easy" in the U.S. last week.
Read on for my interview with Savoretti and for instructions on how to win one of the autographed CDs.
TeenDramaWhore: When did you first know you wanted to be a musician?
Jack Savoretti: The first time I ever heard songs like "Sound Of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel , and "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan I realized the power of music behind words, and how words can be brought to people in song rather than just on paper… Music allows you to put your own meaning on words you use everyday, and that's when I started using music, and therefore became a musician.
TDW: Who are your music influences?
Savoretti: My influences are pretty endless, as I find new ones everyday, but the first had to be the likes of Paul Simon, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, The Band , Bradley Nowell (Sublime), Bob Dylan, and Italian singer songwriters in the likes of Fabrizio De Andre.
TDW: How would you describe your sound?
Savoretti: I wanted this album to have all the sounds that have influenced me from the old American music that has been such a part of a culture that I love, to the sound of the Mediterranean with which I grew up with.
TDW: Do you think the music scenes in the U.S. and Britain are different?
Savoretti: I think the music scene in the UK and the US has always been different and always will be. To be fair, the music scene in every country is somewhat unique. People make music, and people are going through different things in different countries, and the music always reflects that. That's the beauty of music.
TDW: Will you be touring in the U.S. at all?
Savoretti: It's definitely in the cards. I think every musician's dream is to tour the USA.
TDW: How did you get involved with One Tree Hill?
Savoretti: The folks from One Tree Hill have always been extremely generous to new artists like myself . There seems to be a great relationship between the show and music. It seems to play a role in the show as important as the characters, and is often used to define a character. I have been very fortunate to have been involved with the show.
TDW: Why do you think the song "Wonder" was chosen?
Savoretti: I can't really say why. The writers of the show have been kind enough to think it fits.
TDW: Have you seen the episode yet?
Savoretti: I can't say I have , as I am in London, and we are always a couple months behind you guys.
TDW: Will you be doing anything to celebrate its airing?
Savoretti: I have a feeling I'll be smiling a lot more than usual …
You can find out more about Jack Savoretti on his official MySpace page or follow him on Twitter.
Comment below with your favorite One Tree Hill music moment–not a performance, but one specific scene with a specific song playing in the background. Tell me why you love that scene and why the song works perfectly. The two best submissions will each get a CD autographed by Savoretti. You have until Wednesday at 11:59pm central time to comment!
Be sure to come back at 7pm central for my live-blog of tonight's episode and on Sunday for another exclusive interview.

Tiffany (12:21:12) :
Episode 309: "For Blue Skies" by Strays Don't Sleep
It fit so perfectly with everything going on with Nathan&Haley AND Lucas&Brooke. The song flowed so well throughout the entire scene.
Kaitlin (12:56:30) :
This was a no-brainer for me because this song is now my ringtone!
In season 4 after Lucas has his heart attack Peyton is struggling in every sense of the word. She feels hopeless and helpless and doesn't know if Lucas is going to be okay, which is especially devastating because she and Lucas FINALLY get together moments before his heart attack. So what does Peyton turn to? MUSIC. She shows up at the record store, and Max (Mark Schwahn) recommends that she listen to La Rocca's Non-Believer. The chorus of the song says "do you take the non-believers? Cuz I'm a non-believer…" The song captures exactly how Peyton is feeling because she wants to believe that heaven exists, but she's unsure. The scene in which she plays this song for Lucas and puts the headphones in his ears as he lays in the hospital bed, is without a doubt the best music meets scene moment on One Tree Hill to date.
Amanda (13:18:20) :
i think the most recent that comes to my mind is from last season the Wakey Wakey song "War sweater" It was very powerful as Lucas is bringing Peyton into the hospital he is worried and broken and at that moment lost. What will happen and what will he do as he just watches. "what will your legacy be?" Nathan and Haley, Dan "what will his legacy be as he sits at the headstone? Juilian and Brooke. It all seems to fit together! I love that song now! I am sure I could have described this a little better but this would be my pick! thanks guys.
Alli (14:11:57) :
My favorite music moment is the opening montage for the fourth season finale, with Live's "Lightening Crashes," when Haley was going into labor and Karen's life was hanging in the balance. I just thought it fit really well with all of the scenes in the beginning of that episode because when they say "a new mother cries" and "an old mother dies," it's was just perfectly directed toward Haley and Karen. It was just really well done.
Season 4 Episode 11, final montage of leyton scenes. I adore the use of Matt White's "Wait For Love" with the really cute leyton moment- the "I think we've waited long enough" bit. I adore this scene, not only is it an amazing leyton moment, but the song fits so perfectly and makes it one of the most memorable leyton scenes ever.
Dominique N (16:16:49) :
One of the best music moments was season 2 episode 22 where Jimmy Eat World played at Tric. It shows each character and their precise issues at the moment in flashbacks and then back at them watching the show. The lyrics in the song describe exactly how different characters problems are and words that can describe them.
"there's no one in town i know
you gave us someplace to go
i never said thank you for that
thought i might get one more chance "
These are great lyrics to describe how Karen is when Andy leaves. And as we all know, they do rekindle and get married in a later season! 🙂
"if you were with me tonight
i'd sing to you just one more time
a song for a heart so big god wouldn't let it live "
This is said when Brooke says her speech about Shaw about tragedies. It shows that Shaw had his heart broken like she did, and these lyrics also work here.
Also the instrumentals in the background when Nathan and Lucas are talking is great. And when Nathan asks Luke if he saw anyone he knew, Lucas said no, but it was Haley. He is bleeding but says he cannot feel anything. Its a good metaphor for how his relationship is with Haley. Overall this music moment is very memorable and one of the greatest songs showed on One Tree Hill, along with some of the best lines ever mentioned in a single episode.
"Yes, losing your heart's desire is tragic. But gaining your heart's desire is all you can hope for. This year, I wished for love. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic, then give me tragedy. Cause I wouldn't give it back for the world." – Peyton Sawyer
NO ONE can tell me they don't remember this line and this song playing in the background! 🙂
naleymisafan (16:21:06) :
Mine would have to be the CODA for 5×12 'Apologies' by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. It starts off when Lucas goes home to find Lindsey there leaving. Then the rest of it is when Dan confronts Carrie for kidnaping Jamie, and when Jamie comes home. Thenit ends with Dan walking in. As soon as I heard it I loved it. Everytime I hear it I think of the episode. I just think it fit with the Lucas/Lindsey scene and the end when everyone is waiting for Jamie to come home, and he finally did. :0)
sarah (12:43:43) :
My favorite One Tree Hill musical moment has to be from season 4 episode 9. When the Tree Hill Ravens won the State Basketball Campionship. Because this was the moment that Lucas finally realized that Brooke wasn't the girl he wanted standing next to him when his dreams came true it was always Peyton he wanted. Lucas realized this the moment when he made the game winnig shot. That Peyton was the girl of his dreams, and who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. And during the Championship celebration both him and Peyton could finally admit there true feelings for each other, and where finally together. The song that played during all this was Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez which fit perfectly in the scene and made the moment that Leyton fans where waiting four season for worth the wait. And also the lyrics fit into the moment perfectly.
Heartbeats lyrics
One night to be confused
one night to speed up truth
we had a promise made
four hands and then away
both under influense
we had devine scent
to know what to say
mind is a razorblade
to call for hands of above
to lean on
wouldn't be good enough
for me, no
one night of magic rush
the start a simple touch
one night to push and scream
and then releaf
ten days of perfect tunes
the colors red and blue
we were in love
and you, you knew the hands of the devil
and you, kept us awake with wolf teeths
sharing different heartbeats
in one night
Dora (19:22:14) :
My favourite is season 6 episode 6 where Milly makes a list of things for Brooke to do, and the music is Dreamers by Jack Savoretti. At that moment with that perfectly chosen music everythings seems possible even going to outer space. And right now im at a moment in my life where i cant reach my dreams and they are the only happiness in my life now. So i kinda escape in my dreams all the time, but that scene and that music gives me streghts to struggle and keep fighting and reach my goles and make my dreams come true in my life somehow.
Angela (22:01:29) :
I have given this a lot of thought since I first heard of the contest taking place. After much contemplation, I can't pick just one. It's tied between two for me. (Sorry!) The first is the coda in 3.22, which was the season 3 finale. The song was, "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zeppelin. I think it spoke volumes how a serialized show on a non-cable and non-major network was able to obtain rights to have the song incorporated into the show. It world well with the feelings portrayed at the time and the action that was taking place as the lyrics swirled through our ears with the music. The thing about Led Zeppelin is, each of their songs have different melodies. None of them are the same. To me, that is paralleled with One Tree Hill in the sense that nothing is ever the same or what we expect it to be.
The other music moment that I think was perhaps the most emotional and affected me most was the coda for episode 3.16, "With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept." The song was "God Bless the Child" sung by Michelle Featherstone. All I can really say is WOW! It was such an important episode, powerful, thought-provoking, emotional, and most of all displayed how socially aware the show and producers are with the world around their audience. School violence is very much a big part of life nowadays, even children are bringing guns to elementary school. I think that Lindsay knew what she was doing by just putting that one song in the episode. We didn't want the importance or message to be taken away or more subdued by the music. The words in the song strike me straight to the heart…… the one lyrics in particular, "God bless the child who is broken and bruised." Close-up shots were taken of every character and it made me see the correlation between the lyrics, the character and the audience. We all have our struggles, our trials, our tribulations and we are one in the same. It was an episode that broke so many and I admit, I wept for hours afterwards. But in life and from experience, there have been few times where a show or a movie has made such a personal impact and a social one. And I pride in the fact knowing One Tree Hill is that show.
Sylvia (23:31:32) :
One song that made me start watching OTH is Save You by Matthew Perryman Jones in Season 6, Episode 19 in the closing minutes. I was never a OTH fan but i happened to watch that one episode when it was on tv that night. I was blown away by the depth and power of this song as it summarized and concluded the scenes where the characters in the show make tough decisions in their life. We all have moments where we have to choose between love or career (Brooke and Julian), commitment and love (Mouth), fighting our past demons (Lucas) and questioning our future (Peyton). One Tree Hill may be just a show to some on tv, but it accurately mirrors some of the dilemmas we face in life and gives us hope that we'll manage it somehow.
Nora (13:27:52) :
Music has always had a large impact on my life. From the age of two I would listen to Elvis and the Beatles all day long, dancing and singing along the best a two year old can. So when I found the show One Tree Hill I naturally gravitated towards it because of its beautiful music. One Tree Hill is not just about the characters and their lives, it is is the music that connects the stories and creates a scene into a masterpiece. Every epic moment from that show can not be remembered without hearing the background song. The creators have worked hard to open it's audience ears and allow them to walk into a new world with music that they have never stumbled upon before.
When seeing this contest I had many scenes flash through my head with lyrics accompanying them, but one stood out. It may not be one of the greatest moments of this show but it was one that I always remembered. It was the scene when Nathan finally gave into Haley from season 1 episode 8. You can just see in that scene that Nathan was turning into the man he would become in later episodes. Caring, loving, a wonderful father, all because he realized he cared for Haley. He breaks down his shield and lets all vulnerability in. It was this moment with "Dare You To Move" by Switcfoot that I found as one of the greatest musical scenes of the show. As the song dares himself, he takes all the risks and lays it all out on table. As the scene builds and Nathan kisses Haley the lyrics "what happens next/ what happens next/ I dare you to move" plays and Haley goes in for the kiss. There is just so much buildup and it is such a great use of lyrics to reflect off the scene. It was a very good choice of the producers as it was a moment I will always remember and get chills every time I watch it, not something that happens often.
shailee (22:14:50) :
My favourite music moment was season 2, episode 19. There is a powerful scene where Nathan is in a race car, driving fast to try make the speed take the pain away. its dramatic because he is in such a low place now that Haley is gone and he has just realised that he has to make the decision about whether it was 'true love' or not, and if he needs to let Haley go from his life.
As he begins to travel around the circuit by himself, the song "Like a Man Possessed" by The Get Up Kids starts playing. Its has a slow begining, with a light electric guitar riff. As the characters see that he is unresponsive, determined to stay and speed dangerously, ingnoring saftey and their calls to stop, the music become more urgent and powerful, complimented by flashes of sweet moments that Nathan and Haley experieced together before she left.
The music is pounding at this point and every time I watch that scene my heart aches for him and beats so fast in anticipation of coming to the climax of the song. Then, as if the music was created exactly for that moment, we are pulled through the chorus to see Nathan smash into the wall and the song slow. In an erie calm moment of the music the audience sees the outcome of the crash with the music in background, now only listening to the emotive strain of the lead singer.
Despite working with a powerful scene to begin with, it is a challenge to find a song that can match the gravity of the situation, and that is why this song was so perfect for the moment and reminds me of that scene even when I listen to it know, years later.
Rachel Anderson (22:44:37) :
EP. #6.23 Forever and Almost Always
Song: Ingrid Michaelson "Can't Help Falling In Love With You"
I felt this was by far the best one to write about because I can relate to it and write from the heart.
As most of you know this was the long awaited wedding of Lucas and Peyton. Some would say they were suprised, but most not so much.
Since the beginning of One Tree Hill we have always known that these two were meant to be. They have been through some pretty tough times and we have all been there to see it, from the high school love triangles to Lucas always saving Peyton (even when maybe he shouldn't have). This particular part is my favorite because it shows how truly in love they really are, and everything they have been through to have this moment together. As the song plays and they exchange their vows there is a feeling of sadness in my heart but also a feeling of joy and relief, the wait is finally over.
This is very much the perfect song for this scene because the words are so strong and meanful, and it describes just the way that these two feel about each other.
"Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help, falling in love with you"
And at that very moment I realized that dreams really can come true. "This was the dream and here we are ten years later, we all get to witness today a dream come true." Lucas once said that because of Peyton, "I believe in true love, I believe in love at first sight, I believe love conquers all," and so do I believe that too. Tree Hill will never be the same without them but we will never forget the good times they shared with us and all the things we have learned from them over the years, and that's what matters most.

NFL Week 2 Musings — Phil or Boomer, The Teddy Bridgewater Era and How 'Bout Them…
Even with a few games still going on I've seen enough of the NFL's Week 2 offerings to authoritatively make some bold declarations.
But before I get to that, who else is worn out by these crowded pre-game studio shows? I was glad to see ESPN's announcement this week that Chris "Boomer" Berman and Tommy Jackson are bringing back their gold-standard NFL Primetime (even if I will decline to pay the fee to something called ESPN-Plus to watch it), but this good news also got me to thinking (always a dangerous thing).
First of all, it seems to me that there's really only room for one Boomer when it comes to pregame and postgame NFL shows. And amidst this rogue's gallery of NFL talking heads, we already have Boomer Esiason on CBS' pre-game yuck-it-up-fest.
To further complicate matters, CBS' NFL Today show also includes a second blond, former-New York quarterback in Phil Simms. This was good fun back in the '90's, when both QB's were leading the Giants and Jets on the field every Sunday and regular guests on the Monday talk radio broadcasts. Today it really just adds redundancy to the chaotic noise and saturation of information we all are forced to wade through in attempting to gear up for our Sunday NFL schedule.
Now the easy solution would be to simply jettison Esiason. After all, Simms is the blond, former-QB with the Super Bowl MVP pedigree and the superior insights, and now with ESPN's Boomer about to make his triumphant return, you could argue that we are well covered in the Boomer-department. But that would be taking the easy way out.
So what if CBS, in a nod to the old, wildly popular, Superstars Competitions of the 1970's, were to stage a mano-a-mano, survival of the fittest kind of battle between the two retired stars? I'm envisioning ten minutes or so of each Sunday's pre-game telecast dedicated to a series of skills competitions. You know, week one could be a race — let's say a 100-yard dash. Imagine the huffing and puffing as Phil and Boomer waddled the distance! Then the following week they arm wrestle. Or maybe attack an obstacle course?
Week three could be hoops-themed — a three-point shooting competition, or a game of horse, or maybe some make-it-take-it, one-on-one game to 11? To add to the fun, CBS could set it up so that the viewers vote for what the following week's competition would be by texting the network (or better yet, via the CBS NFL Today app — they must have one, no?), selecting between, for example, ping pong, Home Run Derby or Rock 'em, Sock 'em Robots on Week Four's show.
Their fellow broadcasters would select who they believe would win that week's contest (heck, even Bill Cowher might be able to show a little personality under this format), much as they do with that afternoon's games, and ultimately the overall winner would be invited back for the 2020 NFL season, with the loser banished forever.
I, for one, would absolutely tune in every week. Give it some thought, CBS. Just sayin'…
Other takeaways, game by game, from Week 2:
*I know "that's why they play the games," but can anyone of sound mind and body really envision the Jets staying competitive with the Browns tomorrow night? How is this line only 6.5, even if the Jets are at home? If the line was Cleveland by 35, I'd still be hard pressed to go with the Jets. Get well soon, Sam Darnold.
*I'm looking forward to the battle of the birds tonight. No longer under the haze of a Super Bowl hangover this season, the Eagles appear to me to be legitimate championship contenders. I'd like to think the Falcons are better than what we saw last week, and they still have some of the talent that got them within a hair of their own Super Bowl victory only a couple of years ago, but we'll know more about that after tonight. Eagles giving a point on the road seems like a sucker bet, but I'm taking it. Eagles by a field goal.
*Well, the Bills are undefeated (I'm amazed my Mac didn't try to auto-correct that sentence). How psyched were they up in Buffalo when the schedules came out and they saw both New York football teams lined up for them in weeks 1 and 2? The only team to actually play their home games in the state of New York now has Big Apple bragging rights. Hope that helps when the Bills go on to lose 11 of their next 14. And just as an aside, am I the only fan that gets the feeling that Saquon Barkley could line up at any position for the Giants — offense, defense or special teams — and be better than whoever is currently in that role for Big Blue? Yes, even kicker.
*I found myself highly entertained by this week's Thursday night game. Yup, a sign of early season enthusiasm, for sure, but Christian McCaffrey is a lot of fun to watch. I think I'd actually be able to root for the Panthers if Cam Newton didn't insist on wearing those ludicrous outfits to the postgame pressers. And nice to see Todd Bowles on the Bucs sideline working with Bruce Arians again, even if the former Jets coach does look like he spent his offseason stress-eating while breaking down film.
*The 49ers are also unbeaten, so I guess those tech-rich bandwagon riders will start to bid up the ticket prices in Silicon Valley again. Are the Niners better than last year? Sure they are. Are they the class of the NFC West? Not so fast, it was only the Bengals. Speaking of Cincy, could Andy Dalton win big on a better team? No, I don't think so either.
*The two games offered on network television this morning in Southern California were Cowboys-Redskins on Fox and Chargers-Lions on CBS. I started with the Dallas game, as I still can't help getting into the hype when I see the two NFC East titans facing off. Turns out Chargers-Lions was the much better game. However, that doesn't mean lots couldn't be learned from both contests:
-The Washington Football Club is truly bad. Again. Couldn't happen to a more despicable owner. Hi there, Dan Snyder.
-The Cowboys may be really, really strong, but we won't know for sure until they play a real team. The Dolphins come to Big D next week. Guess we keep waiting.
-Philip Rivers seems to have adopted a shot-put kind of throwing motion. Uh oh.
-The Lions are once again terrible, but are also unbeaten tonight courtesy of the Chargers' lack of a kicking game.
*Do the Packers have a defense this year? Sure looks like it. Or maybe Kirk Cousins just sucks. Starting to feel that way, right?
*The AFC South is setting up as a rugby scrum once again this year. That being said, I'll be rooting for Jacoby Brissett and Indy every week. And I'm really glad Adam Vinatieri's sudden deterioration didn't cost the Colts the game. Afraid the legendary kicker's end is near, though. And the Titans? I guess they forgot they had to play another game this week while they were so busy admonishing us all for overlooking them after the Cleveland blowout last Sunday.
*The Patriots only won 43-0 in Miami this week? Imagine how close it would have been if they hadn't signed Antonio Brown…is it too early to start up the whole "could the Dolphins beat Clemson" dialogue?
*The Seahawks are another team that's sitting undefeated, yet we don't have a clue as to whether they are any good. Yes, they went into Pittsburgh and won a close one. Most years that would be a terrific barometer. Most years. Anybody else feeling double-digit losses steamrolling toward western PA?
*The Ravens? With wins over the Dolphins and now the Cardinals, this undefeated record has a definite Buffalo Bills feel to it. Wake up call heading their way when they head to K.C. next Sunday. And the Cards? Arizona fans should be thanking their lucky stars for last week's gift-wrapped tie courtesy of the hapless Lions. Maybe the only thing that saves them from 0-16.
*Houston needed help from the officials to avoid falling to 0-2 at home against the Jags. The Texans remain my pick to come out of the NFC South, but man that was close. I love J'ville going for the win at the end, and I wish Leonard Fournette could have punched it in. Guessing that rookie sixth-rounder with the bad porn-stache will lose some of his popularity down south as these losses keep piling up. I can't imagine what shade of red Tom Coughlin's face morphed to when that two-pointer came up short.
*We were ready to declare today's Bears-Broncos matchup as the most snooze-worthy of the weekend. Then they played the final minute of the game and everything changed. Bears kicker plays the hero? Really? Good for him, but Mitch Trubisky, Bears fans? Bring back Bob Avellini, quick. And on the topic of QB's, did Joe Flacco really win a Super Bowl once? He did? Huh…
*I was super excited when the Raiders jumped out 10-0 on the Chiefs in Oakland this afternoon. Too bad there's no "four-corners" stall for the NFL. Still, progress and hope for the Silver and Black is good for the NFL. However, I can't help wondering if Pat Mahomes' joining Aaron Rodgers on that State Farm commercial somehow diminishes his superpowers.
*Sure, injuries are part of the game, but what a letdown for those of us looking forward to a competitive Rams-Saints game this afternoon. When New Orleans signed Teddy Bridgewater as their backup QB last year I thought it was a brilliant move. Not feeling so brilliant right about now. Maybe the Rams are really good again?
Still so many questions to get answered. Week 3 can't get here soon enough.

Vogue's "Big Butt" Fail Brought Us This Amazing Hashtag
Corinne Caputo
Photo: Courtesy of Columbia Records.
Last week, Vogue boldly announced that The Era of the Big Booty has arrived — thanking a (mostly white) list of stars like Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea, and Nicki Minaj for what it sees as a new cultural age. The fashion mag heralded the beginning of an era in which curvy women will begin to be noticed, their assets appreciated, and the Internet had a bit of a meltdown.
The criticism was varied, but mostly called the article just another instance of white people "discovering" a trend that has, in fact, been around for years (a phenomenon has been helpfully dubbed "Columbusing"). As Bridget Armstrong, a blogger at Bigga Picture put it: The article "implies — by omission — that black culture doesn't exist outside of white perspective... If white folks ain't up on it, it doesn't exist." Or more succinctly, Kim Kardashian didn't invent having a big ass.
But, amid the tone-deafness is a silver lining: #VogueArticles. The good people of Twitter responded, as they do, with a perfect hashtag — a satirical imagining of other absurdly out-of-touch Vogue articles. The results are hilarious and scathing. Here's hoping none of them ever get written:

CACHE have a range of other qualifications suitable for pupils from the age of 14 which don't carry performance points but do offer a great foundation of learning for pupils who are interested in this sector. Below are just a few qualifications which your pupils may be interested in. More can be found on the CACHE website.
Working with children and young people is truly rewarding. As a childcare practitioner you will have the privileged opportunity to influence development and learning.


Today Bekaert signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Indian steel company Mukand. Both partners will set up a 50/50 joint venture and invest Rs. 100 Crores (€ 18 million) in a new factory to be built in Maharashtra (India) for the production of stainless steel wires. These wire products are used around the world in components for the automotive industry and all sorts of other industrial applications.
Mukand is a leading producer of alloy and stainless steel long products in India with manufacturing facilities in Kalwe, Thane and Hospet, Karnataka. Mukand has supplied to Bekaert previously and will provide the new plant with wire rod.
Bekaert has been active in India for some time, mainly in production of steel cord for the reinforcement of radial tires and carding products for the textile industry.
