Rocket League gets cross-play between Xbox One and PC
Charlie Fripp
Ever since its release Rocket League has consistently been one of the top 10 games being played online.
This trend continued after its launched on Xbox One, with console players kitting out their chosen rides to score sweet goals in its chaotic football arenas.
According to various media report, those two groups of players will now be able to take each other on, as the highly-anticipated cross-play functionality will be switched on for Rocket League at midnight tonight locally (3pm PST).
What that means, is that players on Xbox One will be able to compete against players on PC. On the same map. At the same time. Together. Needless to say, Rocket league will be the first game ever to support cross-platform play between PC and Xbox One players.
"Both public and private matches will now allow you to find players from a pool that includes players from both platforms, unless you turn the feature off in the options menu," wrote VG247.
So if you fire up the game on Wednesday, you will automatically be pitted against players from a different platform. But that also means that you might have players on your side on a different platform. It is still unclear as to whether there will be a set ratio of players per platform in a match.
If you don't want the feature, you can easily turn it off in the menu.
If you have been following the news surrounding cross-play and Rocket League, this shouldn't really come as a surprise.
The feature has been a discussion point for the developers for some time, as cross-network play has been one of the most requested features from gamers to the Xbox teams. Microsoft even said that cross-play would kick off with Rocket League.
"In addition to natively supporting cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 games that use Xbox Live, we're enabling developers to support cross-network play as well. This means players on Xbox One and Windows 10 using Xbox Live will be able to play with players on different online multiplayer networks – including other console and PC networks," explained Chris Charla Director of [email protected], in March.

The famous Dutch collective plays an audacious live music score to accompany horror master F.W. Murnau's Faust (1926) — the silent classic of German Expressionism that enacts Goethe's chilling tale of an alchemist who bargains away his soul to the devil. One of the most important and prolific artists in Dutch music, the saxophonist, clarinetist and composer Willem Breuker formed the highly theatrical, seriously whimsical Kollektief in 1974. His original score serves up an adventurous interplay of rock, skronk, klezmer and jazz, offering a counterpoint to the film's stark chiaroscuro imagery and cosmically resonant themes of good and evil as it alternates between moments of undeniable deference and hilarious stretches of snarky irreverence.
Made possible through grants from The Netherland-America Foundation and the Dutch Ministry of Culture and the Consulate General of the Netherlands.


New Delhi (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday attacked the poll panel over malfunctioning of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in Punjab, wondering if it was a "mischief".
"Never has any election seen malfunctioning EVMs on such a large scale. Was it a mischief done deliberately by or in collusion with EC?" Kejriwal tweeted.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader's remarks followed reports that more than 150 EVMs did not function properly in various assembly constituencies in Punjab on Saturday.
Voting was stopped for over an hour at some polling stations due to the glitches.
Even the VVPAT (voter verified paper audit trail) machines developed snags at several places.

NEWS & Updates > March 2012
We Need to Raise $10,000 to Finish Project.
With the launch of our new website and official trailer, we are a bit over a month away from finishing the documentary. Everything is going quite well, but we are in need of a minimum of $10,000 to finalize the film, and launch a small summer tour.
Here's a quick update…
The entire film has been "rough cut", and we realized that some of our interviews (with David and Shawn) needed to be re-shot for clarity.
David has been interviewed, and Noah (our incredible videographer) will be shooting Shawn's interviews in Nashville on April 2nd.
Next week, incredible A-list musicians from bands that are household names are coming together to record background music for the film.
We're working with a contact to have a wonderful actress (who plays the lead role in an NBC comedy) provide the voiceover.
A professional motion graphics designer has signed on to help with the project.
Then, when everything is locked in, we'll finally have it color correction and sound editing done.
We believe we can finish the project in the next 6 weeks, but we need your financial support to make it happen. The $10,000 not only covers the final phase of video editing, voice over, color correction, and sound editing, but it allows us to launch a small tour with Suresh Kumar (president of Harvest India) to screen the film in California, Georgia, and Arizona.
Watch this special message, and head on over to our Indiegogo campaign to give generously! We greatly appreciate it, and you'll help us share the stories of abandoned and orphaned children who deserve to have a voice in this world.

Cumberland Metal Industries (CMI) should price their new cushioning pads at $900 to maximize profit. CMI should begin by targeting the customers that will find the greatest value in the product an pay the most. This allow the company to maximize unit contribution, and leave available options for dealing with future competition and sales challenges.
CMI estimates a potential customer base of 19,500 to 26,000 actively operating pile drivers in the United States. Currently the marketplace approaches cushion pads as an afterthought; pads are available for $2-$10 depending on size. The pads are produced by various local shops; CMI will be the first major industrial producer in the market.
The introduction of a new and more expensive pad may require some time to gain acceptance in the market place. Many pads are purchased by equipment leasing companies whose incentive is to keep their equipment rented by prolonging the job; this may eliminate rental hammers from the initial market. The remaining market is divided into two groups; Independent contractors who may be skeptical about the cost and large contractors. Large Contractors are the primary market, they are interested in reducing costs, and can afford the more expensive pads, and additionally they are more likely to see the potential value in the product. There are approximately 13,000 active machines in this group. This initial market is likely to understand the value and be accepting of the $900 price.

Additional motors are also located in a strap that goes around the wearer's waist. Researchers already have several working prototypes, which could eventually also be used to help people with mobility issues and paralysis to move again.
Scientists Create Solid Light
IFLScience reports that scientists at Princeton have been able to lock individual light photons together so that they behave like a solid object. The researchers constructed an "artificial atom." They then brought this close to a superconducting wire carrying photons. Due to the bizarre rules of the quantum universe, the atom and the photons became entangled so the light photons started to behave like atoms. Researcher Darius Sadri said, "in one mode of operation, light sloshes back and forth like a liquid; in the other, it freezes." The team hopes to use solid light to simulate subatomic behavior which is difficult to observe.

Canada comes up just short in finale vs. Morocco
Alphonso Davies reacts after the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group F match between Canada and Morocco. (Photo by Adam Pretty – FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images)
Canada will leave Qatar without a win after wrapping up its first World Cup campaign in 36 years with a 2-1 loss to Morocco on Thursday.
As a result of its victory, Morocco advanced to the Round of 16, sitting atop Group F with seven points. Croatia finished second in the group, while No. 2-ranked Belgium will join Canada on the sides after finishing third.
Hakim Ziyech opened the scoring for Morocco in the 4th minute after Steven Vitoria and Milan Borjan committed a double blunder at the back, while Youssef En-Nesyri added an insurance marker in the 23rd minute. Canada got on the board after Sam Adekugbe's effort was deflected for an own goal by Morocco's Nayef Aguard in the 40th minute. Canada made a strong push in the second half, highlighted by a crossbar rattling header from Atiba Hutchinson, but the Canadian side couldn't break through with the equalizer.
Canada's second half showing was inspiring, but too late
Too little, too late. Canada played its best football of the tournament during the second half against Morocco, an encouraging display that was also rendered academic.
Junior Hoilett played his best game of the World Cup and in tandem with Alphonso Davies, created several chances throughout the 50th-60th minutes, before eventually being subbed off in the 75th minute. Hoilett played with real flair and inventiveness and tried to provide Davies with as many good looks as possible against an aggressive yet organized Moroccan team that dared Canada to push forward.
Canada's Tajon Buchanan went on a clever individual run to draw a foul in a strong attacking position in the 69th minute. After earning a corner a minute later, Atiba Hutchinson missed out on the equalizing goal by inches, an agonizing result for the captain, especially considering how poorly he played during his 100th cap versus Croatia. Hoilett once again was on the playmaking end, putting the ball right onto Hutchinson's radar. Alistair Johnston sent the subsequent attempt over the bar, ending the scoring chance.
In fairness to Hutchinson, he put together a much better showing against Morocco and was more spry in the build-up play throughout the contest after coming on as a substitute for Mark-Anthony Kaye in the 60th minute.
There were definitely signs of life and no one should've taken Morocco for granted. In retrospect, it appears obvious they were the deeper team, and they certainly weren't lacking star power — Hakimi is world-class and Ziyech was a huge part of Chelsea's Champions League victory two years ago. Although there was nothing to play for but pride, we should've collectively tipped our hat to Morocco before the final whistle.
Steven Vitoria and Milan Borjan struggled badly throughout the tournament
We're not trying to scapegoat anyone necessarily for Canada's poor showing at the World Cup. This was a team that was expected to reasonably contend in one of the tournament's toughest groups. Emerging with zero points is the worst-case scenario.
If you want to celebrate Canada merely attending this year's showcase, you're simply regurgitating the successes of the qualification run. That time has passed. And we don't want to pile on, but Canada's Steven Vitoria and Milan Borjan had dreadful showings, which was once again apparent against Morocco.
Vitoria made a critical blunder in Canada's opening match against Belgium, caught flat-footed and staring into space when Toby Alderweireld delivered a crisp long-range ball to Michy Batshuayi. This time around, Vitoria carelessly passed the ball back to Milan Borjan, giving him no room to operate with two converging Moroccan attackers. Borjan shanked the ball right onto the path of Hakim Ziyech — the worst possible option — and the Chelsea winger put his team up 1-0.
It was a nightmare start for Vitoria and Borjan, and this was just the beginning. Morocco's Achraf Hakimi is one of the best right-backs in world football and he proved he could be dangerous from miles away. Hakimi sliced Vitoria and Kamal Miller open with a perfect long ball from his defensive zone. Youssef En-Nesyri intelligently timed his run but Vitoria once again was too late to track the Moroccan striker and gave a tepid close out effort after getting a beat on the sprint. It was way too passive from one of Canada's veteran leaders.
It's cruel to single out Vitoria and Borjan. We'll discuss the future of the Canadian men's side below, but as both men are 35, neither appear to factor into the 2026 side.
Expected goals are never materialized as actual goals
If you look at the advanced stats chart, you'll be prone to pulling your hair out.
With the exception of Canada's disaster-class second half against Croatia, it chances constantly created from prime scoring locations. The fact that Canada exits Qatar with just two goals — one created by a Canadian player, the other a result of Morocco's misfortune — is a damning indication of the poor finishing from Canada's forwards.
Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic of OneSoccer noted that Canada had a superior expected goals difference (0.47-0.43) throughout the first half, despite trailing 2-1 — and could've been down 3-1 were it not for a timely offsides call. Canada out-possessed Morocco by a 59-41 percent split, held a 86-79 percent completed passes advantage and yet it couldn't record a single shot on target.
Canada's poor finishing was the primary reason for the loss against Belgium with Jonathan David and Buchanan as the main culprits. David, somewhat inexplicably, didn't get onto the pitch until the 60th minute and Buchanan showed off a few clever individual moments, particularly in the second half. The chances were there, but they were squandered with reckless abandon.
You can't take the charts home with you. Perhaps some of this is bad luck and if you ran another simulation of the three group stage matches, Canada almost certainly would've done better. But the finishing from Davies, David, Larin and Buchanan needed to be consistently better, and despite indications that Canada should've been more explosive, they were rendered impotent.
A look ahead to the future
We're not necessarily in the business of providing silver linings, given that Canada was one of only two teams, joining host Qatar, to finish the tournament without a single point. But if there is a positive to be gleaned from this experience, it's that this Canadian side ought to be much better in 2026.
Buchanan, Davies, David, Johnston, Miller, Stephen Eustaquio, Ismael Kone, Ike Ugbo, Liam Millar, Liam Fraser, Derek Cornelius, James Pantemis and Dayne St. Clair are all under the age of 25 currently, giving Canada an excellent core to build from. You have to figure Toronto FC's 18-year-old winger Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty factors into the team, along with his club teammate Ayo Akinola, who is only 22. Luca Koleosho is just 18 as well and he ought to get some real experience with Espanyol in La Liga. This won't be Canada's last dance.
"I think we showed that we've been fearless across each of the three games and I think in each of the three games, we've had something to celebrate one way or the other," Canada manager John Herdman said after the match.
We disagree with Herdman in that there hasn't been something to celebrate from every game. But it's also important to take the long-term view now that Canada's tournament has officially come to an end. The 2022 team created tons of chances and just couldn't bury them, while the star-studded core will be at the peak of their primes in 2026, where Canada will be one of three hosts along with their continental neighbors, Mexico and the United States. It's hard to be proud of a zero-point effort, but it's also needlessly pessimistic to write it off as an indictment of the program's ceiling.

A spokesman for the state elections board says if enough new votes turn up to make Crisco the winner, local Democrats will select a new nominee. If not, he says Aiken will be the nominee.
Yeah, but what did he say before this guy died?
I doubt if Clay Aiken said anything that would be contrary to what he said after the man died. Clay Aiken is honest and a class act. We need more honorable men like him.

A prose poem ("Adrienne") by this French man of letters. You can read the original as part of this collection.
I regained my bed but could not find any rest. Plunged in half-somnolence, I watched reels of my entire childhood cascade through my memory. This state, in which the mind continues to resist odd combinations in dream, often allows one to see – if hurriedly in only a few minutes – the most striking paintings one may ever behold.
I imagined a castle in the times of Henri IV, its pointed roofs covered in slate and its reddish front with jagged corners of yellow stone; a large green clearing then appeared, framed in elm and lime trees whose foliage was pierced by the setting sun and its flaming strokes. Young girls danced around the lawn singing old tunes inherited from their mothers, in a French so naturally pure it might have still existed in the old Valois country where for over a thousand years the heart of France had beaten.
In this circle I was the only lad. Here I had brought a companion, still very young as well, Sylvia, a little girl from a neighboring hamlet, so alive and so fresh, with black eyes, a straight, neat profile and her skin lightly tanned! I loved nothing but her, I could see nothing but her – until now! I had just noticed in the circle in which we were dancing a blonde girl, tall and lovely, who was called Adrienne. All of a sudden, in accordance with the rules of the dance, Adrienne found herself alone with me in the middle of the circle Our heights were identical. We were told to embrace, with the dance and choir now more vivacious than ever before. In kissing her I could not help but squeeze her hand. Her long flaxen curls caressed my cheeks. From that moment on a hitherto unknown concern took hold of me. My beauty had to sing to gain the right to rejoin the dance. We sat around her and, just as quickly, in a voice both fresh and penetrating, almost lightly misted like the voices of girls from those hazy parts, she sang one of those old romances replete with love and melancholy. It was a song typical of a princess incarcerated in a tower by her father who wished to punish her for having loved. The melody stopped at each stanza for quavering trills that so enhance a young voice when, by modulated thrill, it imitates the trembling song of its foremothers.
As she sang darkness descended from the large trees, and the nascent moonlight retrieved her alone, isolating her from our tight little circle. She fell silent, and no one dared interrupt her wordlessness. The lawn was covered with weak condensed vapor which unraveled its white flakes upon the grass blades. We thought that we were in paradise. Finally I got up and ran along the castle's terrain where laurel trees were planted in great monochrome earthenware vases. I brought back two branches which were then woven into a crown and bound with a ribbon. Upon Adrienne's head then I placed this ornament whose lustrous leaves flashed on her blond hair in the pale streams of moonlight. She resembled Dante's Beatrice who smiled at the poet straying along the outskirts of saintly abodes.
Adrienne rose, drawing her svelte figure to its full height. To us she bade a gracious farewell and ran back into the castle. We were told that she was the granddaughter of one of the descendents of a family allied to the ancient kings of France; the blood of Valois coursed through her veins. For this holiday she had been allowed to take part in our games; we would never see her again since she left the following day to a convent where she was a resident.
When I returned to Sylvia's side I noticed that she was crying. The crown given by me to the beautiful singer had been the cause of her tears. I offered to gather her another, but she protested that she was not keen on such a gift nor did she deserve it. In vain I sought to defend myself, but she said not a word more to me as I took her back to her parents' house.
Returning to Paris to resume my studies, I bore this double image of tender friendship sadly broken and a vague and impossible love, a source of dolorous thoughts that university philosophy proved unable to assuage. The figure of Adrienne remained only triumphant, the mirage of glory and beauty, softening or sharing the hours of grueling learning. On vacation the following year I learned that this beauty hardly espied had just been consecrated by her family into the monastic life.

Wells Fargo said its top executives learned in 2013 that some employees were systematically creating illegal accounts to meet sales goals. But former employees who tried to blow the whistle on the fraudulent activity years earlier tell a different story.
2005 Julie Tishkoff, an employee in the Bay Area, makes internal complaints to Wells Fargo about account fraud she observed.
2008 Yesenia Guitron and Judi Klosek, two Wells Fargo employees in Northern California, first say they observe account fraud occurring.
2009 Ms. Guitron and Ms. Klosek complain to Wells Fargo's ethics hotline about false accounts created by colleagues.
2009 Six fired employees in Montana sue Wells Fargo, complaining about unethical practices and sales "gaming." The case is settled in 2011.
2009 Bank records will be reviewed back to this year to check for wrongly created accounts, Wells Fargo announced on Sept. 20, 2016.
2010 Ms. Guitron and Ms. Klosek are fired and sue the bank, alleging retaliation for their complaints about "fraudulent and illegal activities." The case is dismissed in 2012.
2011 Claudia Ponce de Leon, a manager in Pomona, Calif., notifies her district manager that bankers in her branch are falsifying bank documents and fraudulently opening accounts. Soon after, she is fired for "inappropriate conduct," and files a Department of Labor complaint alleging that she was fired for whistle-blowing. The complaint is still pending.
2016 The bank said it would drop the aggressive sales goals that employees said led to illegal accounts being created. It first said that it would end those goals by Jan. 1, 2017, but subsequently changed the date to Oct. 1, 2016.

Shetland's two psychiatric doctors, who were only hired after an extensive recruitment programme two years ago, have both resigned.
NHS Shetland has announced that doctors Martin Scholtz and Almarie Harmse have both decided to leave the isles and pursue career opportunities elsewhere in the UK.
The news will come as a headache for NHS Shetland's already stretched mental health service.
In a statement released this afternoon, Dr Scholtz, the clinical director for the service, said the decision to move away from the isles was a difficult one to reach.
"We have enjoyed being part of the Shetland community, and the decision to move on was always going to be a difficult one to make.
NHS Shetland says both doctors are keen to work with it to secure successors during their notice period.
Chief executive Ralph Roberts has stressed his determination to ensure the service is maintained.
"We will secure psychiatric input to the service, both in the short and longer term, for existing and new patients," he said.
Meanwhile, interviews are taking place this week and next for a clinical nurse manager and a head of service position. NHS Shetland says it hopes to make announcements about those posts very soon.

Saudi Arabia sends request to US government for military aircraft
01 August 2010 1:53 PM By Meed
Congress is expected to be notified of the sale of F-15s and AH-64 helicopters in the next two months
Saudi Arabia has sent a letter of request to the US government for the purchase of Boeing F-15s aeroplanes and AH-64 helicopters.
The kingdom is also interested in acquiring 72 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, missile-defence systems and other additional equipment from Boeing.
"It is our understanding that a letter of request for F-15s, AH-64s and other equipment and services has been received by the US government. We are working with our US government customer through the normal foreign military sales channels to meet the requirement," says a spokesman for Boeing Defense, Space & Security.
Congress is expected to be notified of the sale within the next two months.
The F-15 is a fighter jet and the AH-64 is a twin-engine attack helicopter with a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems.
Saudi Arabia's last significant US weapons purchase was 72 F-15s in 1992, a transaction valued at as much as $9 billion. The last planes in that contract were delivered in November 1999.
The US government is said to be interested in supplying Saudi Arabia with advanced military hardware and equipment as a precaution to the growing nuclear threat from Iran.

Q: yet another INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY when using Google Maps on Android I went through all the articles about the INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY issue in Google Maps projects but I couldn't find a case similar to mine nor a solution, so here is my problem:
I have a project with an activity (com.example.googleMaps.AndroidGoogleMapsActivity) that inherits from MapView to show a Google Map and do some stuff.
I run it on a Samsung Galaxy S II and it works fine: it shows the map and does the stuff it is supposed to do.
Now.
I want to use this project as a library for another project and show that activity as the first screen of another app.
So I checked the box Is Library, I created a new android project that builds against GoogleAPI and includes the library in the Android properties in Eclipse with the following manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="test.test"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15" />

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >

        <uses-library android:name="com.example.googleMaps" required="true" />
        <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" required="true" />

        <activity android:name="com.example.googleMaps.AndroidGoogleMapsActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

I run this new project on my device and I get the infamous error:
INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
and LogCat is totally silent.
I would like to point out that the activity inside the library works so none of the well know issues should apply.
In the client project I specify two uses-library tags (one for my library and one for the Google library), I build against GoogleAPI, include the library in the Android properties in Eclipse and run on a tested device.
Am I still missing something?

A: I had the same problem, just remove the line:
  <uses-library android:name="com.example.googleMaps" required="true" />

and it should work.

A: Only Use com.google.android.maps. Please remove another one.

Enjoy artist interviews, CD reviews, music videos and all the latest in music news.
I thought I'd share with you some trippy new music from a brand new English electronica group called Sunless '97. I don't have too much info on the band other than their names - Alice, Ed, Matthew and Kwes. Their debut EP, Making Waves, is due for release on November 21st via Abeano Music. The EP will also be released on limited edition 12" vinyl. Check out more cool music from the band on their Soundcloud page HERE.
Oh Olly Murs. You're just too cute for words! In the recently released video for "Dance With Me Tonight," (directed by Marcus Lundin) cute-as-a-button Olly Murs gets hauled into the police station, mug shots taken, all before flashing back to the events that landed him in the slammer. Trouble maker Murs drives all over town, pickin' up his friends (even a couple of randoms) in his convertible Peugeot before heading over to a lovely blonde's flat. It's here that the trouble begins, with Olly and friends setting up an elaborate scene outside this girls place, complete with fireworks, smoke machines, streamers, flags and the whole nine yards. Having a bit of a Say Anything moment, (with Olly as John Cusack and the blond as Ione Skye) Murs holds his boom box up over his head and starts an elaborate song and dance routine to get the girl's attention. It clearly works as he gets the girl out onto the street to join him in the dance. Unfortunately for poor Olly, a crotchety old woman calls the cops and it's all over.
A giddy little pop-tune, "Dance With Me Tonight" is the second single taken from Olly Murs' forthcoming sophomore album, In Case You Didn't Know," due November 28th via Sony Music. Co-written by Murs, Claude Kelly (Britney Spears, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson), and Steve Robson (Rascal Flatts, Take That, Paloma Faith) the single is due out November 20th in the UK and follows the Rizzle Kicks-assisted #1 single "Heart Skips A Beat," which came out in August. Continuing in the tradition of past singles, Murs latest features a tight little package of club remixes, this time by Billionaire and CagedBaby. As if a new single, album and remixes weren't enough to look forward to, Olly Murs will be promoting the new album in 2010 with a headline arena tour. Check HERE for tour dates and more info.

Ask the Yangxifu: Western Women Can't Wear Qipaos?
Love Qipaos asks:
I have been taught Mandarin by a Chinese girl living abroad for a year now and sometimes she gives me some comments, that let me think. Mostly, this applies for clothes. I must say, my taste in clothes is not the average kind, and I especially like Asian style clothes, but the traditional kind. I own a qipao and also fisherman pants from Thailand, and when I wear those kind of clothes she asks me stuff like: "Why are you wearing this? You're not Asian!" or she says "Nobody in China even wears this anymore!" I then ask her why she's wearing blue jeans and western style clothes, when she is not from the west, but t seems like this doesn't matter at all. I kinda get the feeling that when a western girl wears eastern clothes it gives off the impresion, that she's trying to be Asian, but if it's the other way around, no one seems to really care, even though all the Chinese girls that I know wear western clothes and some even dye their hair blond and such. So is this just the impression that I get or a general trend? Or is it just because there are so few western girls who are even interested in wearing traditional eastern clothes, that makes us stand out so much?
Ever since China opened up in 1978, blue jeans and T-shirts slowly crept into closets all over the Middle Kingdom, and, now, have pretty much become the standard on the street. (Of course, this isn't the first time Western fashion has come to China — even in the 19th century, Chinese started wearing Western suits and dresses.)
Why? Some might chalk it up to 崇洋媚外 (chóngyángmèiwài), or, essentially, worshiping all things foreign (as an example, read this article about the importing of foreign models). Some might say it's simply the effect of globalization, where the world is getting smaller and becoming more homogeneous in fashion trends. In the case of dyeing hair blonde, some might argue it's just about wanting to look different.
Whatever the reason, you only have to look at the windows of Metersbonwe, Giordano and Baleno (three popular fashion retailers in China) — and the bleached 'dos all over China — to know these trends are here to stay.
That doesn't mean Chinese have forsaken all of their traditional clothing. For example, Qipaos have enjoyed a resurgence in China ever since opening up. You see them on the hosts for the CCTV Chinese New Year special. At almost every wedding I've attended in China, the bride usually wears a qipao as one of her three wedding dresses. There's even a Qipao club in Shanghai, and I've seen Chinese women dolled up in them on the streets from time to time. But the qipao is, for many Chinese, not something you'd pull out for just another ordinary day — and for some, even too much for the holidays:
Modern girls don't find that many occasions to wear a qipao anymore; the outfit is usually reserved for weddings or major festival dinners, and even then, sometimes it comes across as too much. Liu Qiuyan decided to not wear qipao while visiting her family since she "got too much attention, since fewer people here wear Chinese style clothing, even during Chunjie, than before. I don't want to stand out or look like I'm showing off, so no qipao for Chinese New Year's Eve." Zhang Xue, a student who studies in Tokyo, commented that wearing a qipao seems like something the older generation would do, and "as elegant and hot as a qipao is, not all women can pull the look off. It makes it less seen than the kimono in Japan."
All that said, that's too bad your friend thinks Western women can't wear qipaos or other Asian clothing. Sure, I've read arguments about this before:
One Chinese person who does have a critical eye is Chu Hongsheng, 93, the number one qipao tailor in Shanghai. According to the entertainment section of 163.com, when Paris Hilton requested a qipao from Chu during her Shanghai visit, the tailor gave her the once-over and judged: "The girl has big bones, a slim waist but a small bottom. Hm, she's not ready for a qipao yet."
But who says Western women can't rock a qipao — or something else Asian? For example, my Chinese husband and friends all love it when I wear Chinese dress such as as qipao, and I'm not alone:
In fact, most Chinese people seem to have a positive attitude to foreigners wearing Chinese-style clothing. "Seeing them wearing qipao or embroidered shirts makes us feel warm about them, since they must feel warm about Chinese culture. On that level, there's no hot or not, always hot," says Jian Dan, a student who studies cultural comparison.
If the clothing fits you, just wear it. Even if you've got on a qipao and it's "just another ordinary day" (I say, the qipao makes any day extraordinary…;-))
Anyhow, the argument your friend makes — "You can't wear this! You're not Asian!" — is pretty ridiculous in the era of Shanghai Tang and Vivienne Tam, where Chinese clothing has become tres, tres chic in the international fashion world. That means plenty of women, Eastern and Western, go Asian when they get dressed up.
Maybe that will make your Chinese friend think twice about leaving that qipao behind.
UPDATE P.S.: Are you a Western woman with some great photos of yourself in a qipao? Show the world Western women can wear a qipao by uploading your photo at the Speaking of China facebook page — where you can also see mine. 😉

I am totally with you on this one! I would think that Chinese would be flattered that we adore their fashion so much that we want to try it out for ourselves. Fashion truly is global — plenty of Western designers have Asian-influenced lines, just as many Asian designers have foreign influences in some of theirs!
I have two qipaos — one red and one black — bought in China and I absolutely love them (and of course I have intentions to eventually buy even more — green, blue, purple…!). I do feel that they are a bit fancy for normal occasions, so I reserve them for special occasions like Chinese New Year, the opera, etc., and tho I sometimes worry that Chinese girls might judge me for donning a qipao (and that my hips are far too big to actually look nice in one), I say seize the trend and if you love it, wear it!
Jocelyn says:
Thanks for sharing, Brittany! Good point about influences — Asian and Western — going global in the fashion world. It has been my experience that most Chinese are flattered we love their fashion.
BTW, I just added a PS to this — if you're a Western woman with a great photo of yourself wearing a qipao, you can share it with us on the Speaking of China Facebook page.
friend says:
Oh, don't worry too much about the hips, because I've myself have been seeing quite a few big Chinese women wearing them as well. Plus, there are men out there that love that full figure.
Xiaoheng says:
I think western women can wear qipao, it is a freedom to do that. If you like it, you wear it, if you dont like it, just leave it there. But as a Chinese mam, i think no matter a western woman or a chinese woman, who wear a qipao, it often shows the elegance and beauty. I totally support western women wear qipao, when they wear it, sometimes, they look really different than chinese ladies.
I love Chinese/Asian fashion. Unfortuately, I can't fit into most of their clothes (curse these curves)! When I visited a silk factory in China recently, I think I must have tried on the largest size there and it still didn't fit properly! What a shame…
If I could, I would certainly wear a qipao. I wouldn't worry about what people think – just do what you feel comfortable with (and if it fits of course). =)
I only have one qipao, my wedding qipao. I do like qipao, but my everyday style is more casual and qipao aren't really practical with 2 kids underfoot!
I do have some traditionally Asian/Chinese clothing that I wear regularly though, like my Dai minority wrap skirts. I have 3 of them and wear them all the time. I get reactions from students in Beijing sometimes who think it is weird to see those fashions outside of a Yunnanese restaraunt, but actual Dai women wear them everyday, they're beautiful and comfortable, so who cares what my students think. They, quite frankly, turn their noses up at clothing unless the label is foreign or the pricetag is in the triple digits so I don't really expect most of them to be too impressed by traditional clothes.
I do somewhat get the argument about Westerners co-opting Eastern styles, and the concern that there are hints of Orientalism in the likes of Paris Hilton wanting to rock an "exotic" qipao, but I don't think that most of the reactions from Chinese people (in China) to Western women wearing qipao really run that deep. I think they are mostly surprised you'd want to wear something old fashioned and they may find the sight of a Western woman in a qipao a bit incongruous, but I don't think they're sitting their thinking "damn cultural imperialists, isn't it enough that they've got everyone here wishing they were blonde, now they have to take over our own fashions too?! Is nothing sacred?!" Unless maybe you run in certain academic circles. 😉
If you like qipaos or fisherman pants or wrap skirts or embroidered shirts, then wear them. If anyone says anything just tell them the truth, that you find Asian style beautiful and elegant and you don't see what's so great about blue jeans anyhow.
Anna Hammer says:
I am originally from the Philippines, but grew up in the US. Unfortunately I haven't been thin since I was about 10 years old. The women in my family aren't very slim either. When I see the thin Chinese girls, I realize that we (my relatives and I) have never been/can never be that thin. When I visited China and tried on the traditional clothes, they were too small for me! So I ended up not buying anything. I think Chinese women have the "skinny genes" and most Filipinas don't!
Aw, thanks, this all is really reassuring. Maybe I've just come in contact with the wrong people so far, but the reactions I got in the past for me wearing eastern clothes were mostly negative. In a forum for Asian guys and non-asian girls, one Chinese guy even went on a total rage trip against western girls wearing traditional Chinese clothes, saying, that they are too curvy for it and their skin type doesn't suit them and such. But if guys like that really are the minority, I'm relieved. I guess such personal opinions shouldn't really bother me, when I really want to wear what I like.
Like Yasmin, I'm also curvy though, that makes it hard for me to find Asian style clothes, that really fit me. But with enough patience in the search, I've always been able to find something good so far. My qipao is purple and looks really beautiful to me, but unfortunately I have no picture of it. 🙁
Mish says:
Frankly whenever I see women slopping around town wearing some "traditional asian clothing" it just makes me sad. Too often it is one of those weebo girls who are BEYOND creepily obsessed with Asian pop culture, wearing something horribly cheap-looking they found on a table in Chinatown.
If a woman wants to wear beautiful traditional clothing, it needs to be done properly no matter what her race or body type. Those outfits (usually) are for special occasions, not doing errands or going to school.
ts says:
First of all, qipaos are NOT traditional Chinese dresses. They are modern dresses derived from Manchurian clothing. The truly traditional clothing worn by Han Chinese is the hanfu, which was worn for thousands of years preceding the Manchu Qing dynasty. The hanfu is suitable for all figure types and is graceful, elegant and classical in appearance and visual appeal. Hopefully, the groups of Chinese who are trying to revive the hanfu will succeed in their endeavors.
China Shark Mike says:
If you like it the hell with what others think. Just like previous posters stated that Chinese people do have a lot of respect foreigners who show interest in thier culture.

This is very reassuring, I've been looking at a qipao as a prom dress but I hesitated because my area of the world has a steadily growing Chinese population and I didn't want to offend anyone. Good to know they won't totally flip out.
RE hanfu: Hanfu are incredibly gorgeous, I agree, I've always thought they looked brilliant, I may hunt around for one instead of a qipao, depends on funds and prices.
Jakvn Gvsa aibide bini?
Qipao might not be "traditional" in the strictest sense, it's nevertheless definitively Chinese in origin.
Thanks so much for this!
I have just bought a qipao style dress for my Leaver's Ball in June but was suddenly terrified of offending people. I love Asian culture and history (although I am no expert) and I really loved that style of dress.
I really hope I won't be accused of cultural appropriation, I think I would die of shame.
Uh, as an american born chinese, I completely see this as white cultural appropriation. Its cool to see folks incorporate asian influences into their attire, but to wear something completely chinese is a bit much for me.
I see it as another micro aggression. here we go again with white people stepping into other people's culture whenever they please, when ever its cool or hip, and then they can step back into their dominant white culture, again whenever they please. I can't stop being culturally chinese. I can't choose to just be white. Despite being born in america, i can choose tap into my american culture and later tap into my chinese culture. but here in the states, there is a stark difference between being american and white.
perhaps this article on dreadlocks can shed a little more light:
http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/08/white-feminist-with-dreadlocks/
Thanks for the comment Jean. I can understand your concerns, given instances like Katy Perry's "yellowface" performance in 2013. In retrospect, I should have added something additional to clarify what I've said. I think this post from Walking in May offers some good advice in this regard:
I feel the difference between the offensive and non-offensive is crucially 'how one wears the traditional dress', so here's a few ideas to consider:
Research that dress! If you would like to wear a Qipao (Cheongsam) respectfully, then do a little research into what looks nice with it and know the name of what it is that you will be wearing. It is probably best not to mix a widely perceived Chinese dress with items from other Asian cultures, to avoid making broad statements about all Asian cultures, or indeed dig out the political through a historical war context that could simmer a stereotypical grudge of some sort. If in doubt, keep it simple.
Mere fun-filled costume or true loving appreciation? Your intention matters, and how you choose to wear a traditional garment will allow others to decipher information about you as well as how you feel about the garment. If you love something, then you will simply want to do it justice and appreciated it in the best way that you can.
It's too bad you feel that way. As a 61 year old American female I have watched many styles come and go. Trends. Fashion. I can remember having a very nice (and expensive) shirt from India and also qipao style shirt when I was very young. I do not keep up with the trends, I never was much with that but I have always worn what I liked to wear. What I thought was pretty. Is there something wrong with that?
I serve the Chinese community in my American town. I have helped with English as a Second Language classes at the Chinese church and I participate in the Chinese New Year festival and THEY WANT ME TO wear traditional Chinese clothing when I sing and play my guitar. I think it's a little racist to think that I am trying to be Chinese or that I am ?stepping on other people's culture?. I love the Chinese community here and am happy to be a part.
By the way, I find it offensive that you call some people "white". A piece of paper is white. People are shades of tan, to brown to black. And I bed that you are actually "whiter" than me. There is only one race – human. These so-called races are actually family groups.
Yi says:
I think that it's nice to know that western women appreciate the eastern culture, and personally, I think it's fine for a woman of any nationality to wear a qipao. Just please avoid the mix and match of all the asian countries, because that will just be viewed as racist.
Yi, thank you so much for the comment. Yes, I agree — you absolutely should not mix/match clothing from different Asian countries.
K says:
What can I say? i agree with: 'you like it? Wear it!'
Apparently, some 3 years back, the traditional romanian blouse for women (ukraine and russia has similar ones) started to be worn by women here.. last year this type of blouse made its way onto the best known fashion shows, under well known designer names.
The summer didn't fully start [the spring was incredibly cold and rainy], but women are already wearing them.
The problem? nobody wears the whole traditional outfit … not on a daily basis, with a few tiny exceptions. should American or Asian women be banned from wearing these blouses? No.. if anything, they might be curious about the inspiration and learn more about the East European culture.. and that's a good thing.
Calvin Nam says:
Qipao is over-rated.. Hanfu is more elegant and beautiful..
I like to see white women wearing Hanfu… and I'm asian..
I totally agree! Western women can often rock Asian clothes better than Asian women because they have taller and prettier bodies. If Asian clothes were designed to fit Western women, they'd definitely be more popular. Plus when you mix Asian clothing with Western features, the overall look is far more stunning and delicate! Trust me, as a fashion lover, Western women were made to rule Asian culture!
Jessica, I would never suggest that Western women could look better in Asian clothing than Asian women — and that's not at all the point of this piece. I was merely saying that Western women could wear qipaos, not that they're somehow inherently superior to Asian women.
Thanks so much for this piece! My step sad and his side of the family are of Eastern descent and I've had this burning question in my mind on whether it was offensive for someone NOT of his descent to wear such things. My Little sister is a mix of my step dad and mom (mom being white) and my step dad wants to take us all to China one day to show us his culture.
It honestly would be such an honor for me to wear the sorts of things you mentioned and a truly heart-warming experience for me as it's very close to my heart. This culture is part of my family and I'm not here to shun or disrespect it, I'm here to embrace it and love it to bits. I find the traditional clothing absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you for the comment, Kennedy. It sounds like you have great respect for the culture and will honor it when you wear the traditional clothing.

Histamine is usually associated with the unwanted symptoms of allergic responses. Runny nose and watering eyes and swelling are a few of the most common associations most of us have to too much histamine.
Common knowledge also tells us that drugs such as benadryl act as anti-histamines, block the production of histamines and puts us to sleep. End of story?
There is a lot more to this story…..Histamine is a stimulatory neurotransmitter and for at least some people may be responsible for the manic stages of bi-polar disorder. It also plays a part in mood disorders in general.
It is also part of the issue of addiction. Foods that we are addicted to often give us a "high" that is at least in part, caused by the surge in histamine. As the histamine wears off we loose the stimulation and go looking for another "hit". You know that you are in the cycle when you are "prowling the kitchen" looking for something to eat. Not just any food will do. The apple doesn't look good, the strawberries won't do, it has to be a milk product if that is what you are allergic to and are looking for your "high".
This process is also a contributor to the adrenal exhaustion the underlies all of the attention deficit (ADD) and hyperactivity disorders (ADHD).
When the body is overstimulated with too much histamine it will, over time, burn out the calming neurotransmitters, serotonin and GABA. This often contributes to depression and anxiety.
We not only produce histamine we also ingest a lot of histamine in foods that are common in our diet.
For some people too much histamine results in headaches and fatigue. You know the "triggers" for migraines? Foods that seem to cause migraines in some people? Chocolate and wine for example? Sometimes they will trigger a headache, other times they do not. Are they allergic? Maybe. Often times the offending food will provide too much histamine and be the straw that broke the camel's back, kicking in a migraine.
Ripe fruit such as cantaloupe and bananas, salmon, red wine, and especially champagne are all high in histamine.
Many chronically unwell persons with a wide variety of symptoms are deficient in the enzyme, diamine oxidase, that breaks down histamine and allows it to accumulate in the system.
There is a supplemental source of diamine oxidase available. For people with mild to severe allergies it can be a life-changing addition to their diet. Taken with each meal it begins to lower the histamine accumulation in the body and lower the reactivity of the body. The good news is that it does not cause drowsiness.
It can treat a wide range of problems from migraine headaches to asthma to ADD and more.

Ассія Джебар (), власне Фатіма Зохра Імалаен, , 30 червня 1936, Шершель — 6 лютого 2015, Париж) — алжирська письменниця і кінорежисерка. Основні теми її романів — Алжирська війна і становище жінки-мусульманки.

Біографія і творчість
З 1980 року жила у Франції. Була членом Королівської академії французької мови і літератури Бельгії.

Більшість її творів — про труднощі жіночої долі з точки зору феміністки. Авторка романів «Жага» (1957), «Алжирські жінки на своїй половині будинку» (1980), «Любов, фантазія» (1985), «Далеко від Медіни» (1991), «Величезна в'язниця» (1995).

1969 року опубліковано п'єсу «Червона зоря», написану Ассією Джебар у співавторстві з Уахідом Карно. 40 персонажів об'ємної п'єси представляють практично все населення Алжиру часу війни за незалежність. З чотирьох головних героїв провідну роль відведено Поетові — сліпому оповідачу з мандоліною на площі провінційного містечка. Поет читає класичні вірші, чує на площі стрілянину й допомагає втекти юнакові, який застрелив передбачуваного зрадника. Юнак іде в гори, а Поет сам бере в руки зброю, вбиває одного з патрульних і після тортур піддається страті.

У масштабному епічному романі «Любов, фантазія» (1985, включений в список 12 найкращих африканських книг XX століття) Ассія Джебар з'єднує два паралельних часових плани: історичну хроніку завоювання французами Алжиру в другій чверті XIX століття і особисту біографію героїні, яка живе під час Алжирської війни 1950-х років. Моторошні, жахливі сцени першої війни, що супроводжувалася винищенням цілих племен, вбивств матерями немовлят, накладаються на не менше жорстокі сцени другої війни, «відвоювання» алжирцями своєї землі. Поряд з голосом головної героїні роману, сумнівається в своїй ідентичності і відчуває відчуженість одноплемінника, в книзі звучать голоси багатьох алжирських жінок, «хор безсловесних рабинь, прорвав щільний морок мовчання». Поєднуючи часові та просторові плани, Джебар робить висновок, що Алжир заплатив страшну ціну за настання Нового часу, який супроводжувався і новим розумінням свободи, пробудженням самосвідомості нації і прагнення покінчити з будь-яким рабством — як зовнішнім, так і внутрішнім тиском традицій. За словами російського літературознавця Світлани Прожогін, «обидва оповідання присвячені загальній темі пробудження і змужніння людини, народу, нації, країни, духовного прориву з полону, з несвободи і рабства до прозріння, набуття власного "я", власного голосу, права на власне життя» …

У циклі новел «Оран, мертва мова» (1997) Джебар звертається до років після здобуття незалежності Алжиром, і показує, як ісламські фанатики викорінювали будь-які натяки на жіночу емансипацію: всі ті жінки, що отримали європейську освіту, або навіть просто насмілювалися зустрічатися в кафе з чоловіком, особливо часто ставали жертвами в роки фундаменталістського «терору».

Героїнями роману «Непохована» (2002) стають убита французами партизанка, а потім її дочка, яка вирішує надалі боротися за Свободу.

Murderer found with blades and improvised knife in cell 'claims they were planted because he couldn't reach the shelf'
Tim Healy
A murderer found with an improvised knife under his prison cell mattress has failed in a High Court challenge to his jail disciplinary hearing.
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/murderer-found-with-blades-and-improvised-knife-in-cell-claims-they-were-planted-because-he-couldnt-reach-the-shelf-38238349.html
https://www.independent.ie/world-news/article38190122.ece/2db0d/AUTOCROP/h342/page25_burglary.jpg
Gerald Dunne (43), Rafters Avenue, Drimnagh, Dublin, was jailed for murder in 2001 after stabbing a man during a row which began over the use of a public phone box.
He stabbed Liam Thompson (20) of Woodlawn Park Grove, Firhouse, Tallaght, on January 27, 1999, at Dolphin's Road, Rialto, Dublin.
In a search of his Wheatfield Prison cell on November 7, 2017, officers found the improvised knife wrapped in tissue paper under his mattress. They also found an almost full bag of razor blades on a shelf in the cell.
Dunne claimed the items had been "planted" as others had access to his open cell while he was doing prison work. He also claimed he did not use the shelf on which the blades were found and he could not reach the shelf.
The prison authorities said the only shelf was four feet high.
An internal disciplinary process under Prison Rules took place in which he was found to be responsible for the items. The hearing was adjourned after he asked to be allowed see CCTV of who had access to his cell.
Through his solicitor, he also wanted the gardai brought in to investigate and fingerprints of the bag of razors to be taken. He also asked the evidence be preserved and the solicitor said Mr Dunne would fund that analysis if the prison service or gardai would not examine it.
The disciplinary hearing found against him and a sanction was imposed.
He brought an appeal which was rejected because it did not state any grounds in relation to the original sanction. A further request for an appeal to the Minister for Justice was found to be made out of time limits.
He brought a High Court challenge against the governor of Wheatfield and the Minister for Justice claiming fair procedures were breached by a failure to allow him examine the CCTV footage. He also claimed his rights as a prisoner were breached by the failure to transmit his appeal to the Minister.
Ms Justice Miriam O'Regan said Mr Dunne was undoubtedly correct in indicating there were conflicts in the evidence given by the assistant prison governor in relation to the CCTV evidence. She was satisfied however the footage did not in fact form part of the evidence against him and so was not captured by the prison rules legislation or previous case law.
In relation to the appeal to the Minister, the judge said although there was "clear confusion" as the the appeal Mr Dunne wished to process, she was not satisfied it was such that would warrant a finding of breach of fair procedure on the part of the prison governor.
