Have your say: Government considers restricting non-compete clauses
The UK government has launched a call for evidence to gather the views of employers and employees on non-compete clauses in employment contracts.
The government is concerned that these clauses may unfairly hinder employees from moving freely between employers, and that they may be stifling entrepreneurship. It refers to a report from the Social Market Foundation which recommended banning non-compete clauses in employment contracts, on the basis that they act as a barrier to employees starting their own businesses.
The government indicates that if it finds that non-compete clauses are a barrier to flexibility, it will consider how best to act and the results of its call for evidence will help inform the next steps.
What are non-compete clauses?
These are clauses in employment contracts, often called restrictive covenants, which restrict an employee's activities after the employment ends. For example, they might (for a set period of time after the employment ends) prevent a former employee from:
Working for a competitor (including a business they start themselves);
Dealing with the former employer's customers; and / or
Hiring workers of the former employer or enticing them to start work elsewhere.
Aren't there restrictions on non-compete clauses already?
Yes. The law already provides that they are only enforceable if they are designed to protect a legitimate business interest (such as goodwill or trade secrets) and are no wider than is reasonably necessary to protect that interest. Over the years, a significant body of case law has built up regarding the factors that will influence enforceability and courts will look at, for example:
The role and influence of the worker;
The geographical scope of the restriction; and
How long the restriction applies.
What is the government asking?
The call for evidence asks various questions, including:
Where are non-compete clauses used? Are they more prevalent in particular sectors or roles?
What are employers' justifications for using non-compete clauses?
Have employers challenged breaches of non-compete clauses? What happened?
Have workers been subject to non-compete clauses? Did this influence their decision to leave an employer?
Have employers been influenced by non-compete clauses in hiring decisions?
Would legislation to restrict non-compete clauses affect your business?
Would new or improved guidance improve confidence around the valid use of non-compete clauses?
How do I submit my views?
The government's call for evidence closes on 19 July 2016 and you can access it here.

This is how a company gives consumers a truly continuous experience.
The key to omni-channel marketing is that a consumer's digital interactions with a company directly affect their experience with the company in person, and vice versa.
Figure out which channels your consumers are using to interact with your company.
Omni-channel marketing is only available to companies that invest in powerful technology and make the effort to analyze data. It is a primary driver of the evolved consumer experience and will help your company encourage sales and loyalty.
Allow consumers to use the channels best suited for their particular situation.
A lead visits your website and looks at a particular product.
All marketing is immediately shifted from top-of-funnel to retention.
Each "swimmer" has its own reporting structure and revenue goals.
The swimmers (each marketing channel) are in a relay race and must work together to succeed.

Update it as often as possible.
Here's an example of omni-channel marketing at work.
Omni-channel marketing is about eliminating marketing siloes and focusing on the full consumer experience.
Metrics and reporting allow companies to deliver more personalized interactions and service throughout the relationship.
A day later, as part of an email nurture campaign, they receive a whitepaper that details key features of the original product and similar products.
On the landing page, they enter their email address into the contact form.
Be present and active on the most important channels.
At the store, the salesperson is immediately able to view the lead's customer journey — every interaction the lead has had with the company thus far — and continue the process in person.
Instead of buying through the website, the lead decides to visit a physical store.
Many companies focus on maximizing the performance of individual marketing channels.
They leave your site without making a purchase.
The customer won't see the same ads as they did before the purchase.
They often structure their organization into "swim lanes" focused on each channel.
The swimmers may train and work together to help the others succeed, but they still compete against each other in rankings and stats.
Invest in a customer relationship management (CRM) platform that is cloud-based.
It puts the consumer at the center of its strategy.
All approved employees can immediately view the entire consumer journey — in real time.
There are steps you must take to transition to omni-channel marketing.


Red Bull's world champion proves he's the man to beat with a dominant display ahead of the season opener in Melbourne.
World champion Sebastian Vettel was 0.778 seconds quicker than his nearest rival.
Red Bull's world champion Sebastian Vettel blew away his rivals in a dominant qualifying performance to claim pole position for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Saturday.
The 23-year-old German set the quickest time in all three sessions and managed a searing best lap of one minute 23.529 seconds, 0.778 seconds quicker than second-placed Briton Lewis Hamilton.
"Although the gap now might appear to be big, it's a long season and a lot of things can happen," said a cautious Vettel, who failed to finish the race here last year.
"It's a good position to be in, and I'm very happy with that (but) we need to keep our feet on the ground."
Hamilton's late lap of 1.24.307 in his McLaren knocked Vettel's team mate Mark Webber (1.24.395) off the front row of the grid, leaving the Australian to line up alongside Jenson Button in the second McLaren (1.24.779).
Ferrari's twice former world champion Fernando Alonso claimed a spot on the third row in fifth place next to Renault's Vitaly Petrov, the best ever qualifying position for the Russian.
Button, who will be gunning for a third successive win at Albert Park, conceded that Vettel had been untouchable.
"If you look at the pace of Sebastian, I mean they're in a different league really in qualifying, whether it's the same in the race I don't know," said Button.
"We don't really know what our pace is really going to be like in the race distance yet."
McLaren struggled for reliability in testing and Hamilton paid tribute to the "fantastic job" done by the team to give their two British drivers a competitive car.
"Absolutely thrilled to be here today, we've really got ourselves back on track and, although there's a lot of work to do, we laid a fantastic base," the 2008 world champion said.
Webber is aiming to become the first Australian to win his home grand prix and was clearly disappointed at being so far behind his team mate.
"I'm not overly rapt to be third on the grid," he said. "I wasn't really in the fight for pole and I need to address that."
German Nico Rosberg steered his Mercedes to seventh place on the grid ahead of Brazilian Felipe Massa on what was a disappointing day for Ferrari.
"Position we are happy, distance from pole we are not so happy, so it's what we have to look at and analyse tonight," Spaniard Alonso said.
German Michael Schumacher failed to fulfil the promise of good pre-season testing with Mercedes when he was unable to get through to the final session of qualifying by 0.089 seconds.
"After testing, coming to the first race we had expected certainly a different performance so naturally there is some disappointment," the seven-times world champion, who will start 11th, told the BBC.
"We don't match this performance here and we need to understand why we don't and that's going to be the major job that we have in front of us."
HRT's Vitantonio Liuzzi and Narain Karthikeyan failed to get within 107 percent of the best time in the first qualifying session so will not be allowed to race.
The struggling Spanish-based team's appeal to the stewards was dismissed later on Saturday, leaving just 22 cars on the grid for Sunday's race.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 version is a surprisingly good show!
saturdaymornincartoons / August 22, 2015
Mirage Studios; Nickelodeon Animation Studio
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a franchise that many of us are familiar with, and for many people who grew up in the 80s and 90s, or even early 2000s (for the 2003 version), it was a huge part of our childhood. It however, was not really a part of my childhood. As blasphemous as it is to say, I never really enjoyed any of the incarnations of TMNT. The movies either looked creepy or had crappy CGI or were produced by Michael Bay. The 1987 version was colorful and eye-catching for a young kid, but it never held my interest. The 2003 version took itself far too seriously and was trying to be dark and gritty, ironically the style of show that the original TMNT comic was parodying. So when I heard that there was a CGI animated TMNT cartoon coming out on Nickelodeon, I scoffed at the notion and pretty much ignored it. Recently, however, I did end up giving the new 2012 version a try. I watched a few episodes. Then a few episodes more. And within a month I had watched the entire first two seasons. Much to my surprise, I had found a really good show! I must admit that I have only basic knowledge of the previous incarnations of the franchise, and unlike some others on this site, I was never previously a big fan of TMNT. So with that in mind I apologize for any redundancies in descriptions of characters or events. But also with that in mind, the 2012 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is so far the only Ninja Turtles to catch my eye and keep me watching.
Color coded for your convenience.
First let's talk about the characters. We all know them: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. They keep with the previous archetypes that they have been dealt with in other versions – the leader, the smart one, the angry one, and the goofball, respectively. What first stood out to me in this version of the turtles compared to the others is that they all looked different. They had different skin tones, different eye colors, different facial and body shapes. Each of them had certain identifying characteristics, Leo's eyes look thinner and more wizened, Donnie has a gap-tooth, Raph's shell looks more beat up and chipped, Mikey has bright blue eyes and freckles. You could take their masks and weapons away and you would still be able to tell who is who. I really love this artistic attention to character design, and it not only makes them all look interesting and unique, but it exemplifies their personalities. I also enjoy their interaction with each other, with lots of brotherly jibing. The comical back and forth between the brothers, and between the turtles and their enemies is classic superhero banter at its best, and feels like a throwback to the 80s version (though this time with less "cowabungas" and more "booyakashas").
The voice actors who lend their voices to the characters are also brilliant. Firstly we have Rob Paulsen voicing Donatello, who's voice acting skills are legendary, and who previously voiced Rapheal in the 80s version. This time around Raphael is voiced by Sean Astin (he played Samwise in The Lord of the Rings), which at first I thought was a strange choice in casting. But Sean Astin makes a great voice actor and is able to put forth a substantial amount of force in his lines to keep up with Raph's volatile personality, but also knows where to calm down and put forth softer emotions. Greg Cipes obviously took his role as Beast Boy in Teen Titans as inspiration to voice Michelangelo, since his experience as a comic relief character shines through. Leonardo is perhaps the only hiccup in the amazing voice acting that happens here. It is not that he has bad voice acting (quite the contrary), it's just that he has had a total of three different actors throughout the series so far (Jason Biggs, Dominic Catrambone, and Seth Green). The voice change is explained in the series, which makes sense… I suppose… Anyway, if you like voice actors, this series certainly has a star studded cast with many fantastic cameo voices (Tom Kenny, Gilbert Gottfried, and Phil Lamarr to name a few).
But enough about the characters. What about the plot? As I understand it, this rendition of TMNT deviates a good amount from previous ones. Their story in this version begins with the turtles' 15th birthday, or "mutation day" rather, where Master Splinter (Hoon Lee) finally allows them to leave the sewers and explore New York City above. On their first night out they discover pizza, the joy of jumping around rooftops, and a girl named April O`Neil (Mae Whitman) and her father getting kidnapped by some strange men. They go to help April and soon discover an alien race known as The Kraang (Nolan North) (not to be confused with the singular alien, Krang, in the 80s version) who not only created the mutagen that originally mutated the turtles, but are also planning on taking over the world. And they need April O`Neil to do this for some nefarious and undisclosed reason. A majority of the episodes and story arcs are dedicated to this plot-line. We of course also have our other main villain, Shredder (Kevin Michael Richardson), who has his usual vendetta against Splinter and the turtles, yet many of his episodes are separate from the Kraangs'. It is interesting to me that the writers decided to split the world-saving plot with the Kraang, from the more personal threat posed by Shredder. It juggles well, the turtles' need to protect the Earth, but also to protect their family. The character of April is very different in this version as well. She is no longer the twenty-something, damsel-in-distress journalist that she was in other versions. Instead, she is a young, high school girl, and is very central to the Kraang plot. I think that her age was lowered for a few reasons. One was to have her be more of a peer in age, to the turtles, and two to be more relatable to the younger audience that is the target of the show. It works, and I really like this version of April, who feels less of a damsel in distress and more like someone who has the ability to take care of herself if need be. She even gets martial arts lessons with Splinter. Plot-wise, you can tell a lot of thought was put into the development of the characters and world. Yes, they were taken from previously created ideas, but the expansion on them in this series really made me fall in love with it.
April O'Neil gets a reduction in age, but an increase in badassery.
It was surprising to me that I liked the show so much, but what was probably more surprising about it is that I liked the art! I am strongly biased against CGI cartoons. Yes, it can be done right, as we've seen with Pixar and some Dreamworks films, but I mostly see it as shortcut to make cheep, quick, and easy animation. I especially see this in TV shows. However, the CGI animation in this series, actually does a good job, and I can tell that effort and budget was definitely put into it. As I previously stated, the detail to character designs, are fantastic. However, this attention to detail admittedly stops when side characters or human characters are involved. I have found that the more plastic-y and fake a human character looks in this show, the more likely they will be turned into a mutant, which the creators tend to pay more attention to artistically. What I'm most impressed with, art-wse, is the backgrounds. They look beautiful. Especially scenes involving backdrops of the city. They look almost as if they are painted on, having a glossy oil paint texture that mimics the sheen of a classic comic book.
Left: New York City at night. Right: Splinter's training dojo.
The final aspect of this series that I'd like to talk about was one I wasn't even expecting, but was extremely pleased to have found, and that is the inclusion of Japanese culture. Yes, they are ninja turtles, and ninjas come from Japan, but it is sadly rare to find any media with martial arts as a backdrop for the story to include cultural aspects of the originating country from which those martial arts came. In the case of this show, I can tell the creators actually did their research. Real Japanese is used very often in the story, mostly through Splinter, who is from Japan. His Japanese is appropriately archaic, as his life in Japan reflected a more traditional lifestyle. Furthermore, there are interesting tidbits into Japanese culture that are brought up in the series, including various martial art concepts, food, and even folktales. Anime and monster movies, such as Godzilla, are also referenced, and some of the more toony expressions of the characters are done in an almost anime style. There are some quirks and things that they get slightly wrong, but I can tell effort was put in here to get the main things right and still be respectful to the culture that it is borrowing from.

I'd like to conclude by making some comparisons to the previous incarnations of the franchise. TMNT 2012, is not a satire on gritty comic book stories like the original graphic novel was, nor does it emulate that same dark and gritty style like the 2003 version and some of the movies did. If anything, it's more of a throwback to the 1987 cartoon, with witty banter, goofy bad-guy mutants, the love of pizza, and modern slang. It even cameos the 87 version in clever ways. It has many trope-y and cliche ridden episodes, and embraces them. It still has crazy action and contains some darker moments, but knows exactly when it should take itself seriously and when it doesn't need to. Yet what makes this series to rise above the others in my eyes is the emotion in it. There are some heavy moments and great development for each of the characters. They have flaws, worries, and fears, and how they deal with these things go hand-in-hand with dealing with the bad guys. My favorite moments are probably the ones that involve the idea of family and brotherhood, where the show reminds us that these four guys are not only teenaged and mutant and ninjas and turtles, but also brothers. If you are a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle franchise, or even if you are not, I really do recommend this show. It's got the fun and goofiness that you would expect from a show about mutant turtles, lots of action that you would expect from ninjas, but also some great art, culture, and emotion that you wouldn't really expect, but you get anyway.

When Oprah Winfrey announced a few months ago that the selection of Cormac McCarthy's The Road for her book club meant that Winfrey would air a televised interview with McCarthy, excitement in the literary community was high. After all, McCarthy's a genius.
Given the potentially historical nature of this interview, we had been surprised that it had been so underplayed. Television listings barely mentioned it; it wasn't even the lead feature on yesterday's show, playing second fiddle to an interview with documentarian Michael Moore. But upon watching the interview last night, we figured out why Winfrey made so little hay over her unbelievable get: The interview was awful, and she knew it.

We associate few experiences to some phrases. The phrases immediately trigger back the memories to us. Some famous phrases in the realm of test automation include "100% testing", "XPATH", "record and playback", "GUI Testing", "Assertions". One such phrase associated with strong reactions is "Record and Playback". While some hate the limited capability of the record and playback mechanism and its brittleness in relation to the mouse coordinates, others like it for the simplicity and how it can be a quick and dirty solution.
Some perceptions take time to change. I was also of the opinion that Record and Playback tools meant unreliable and something that can be used only for a short period of time. My experience with AutoIt and the struggle with the mouse coordinates did not help change the perception. And then, I used Sahi Pro. The tagline is quite interesting—"The Tester's Web Automation Tool". I was curious as to why it was called the "Tester's Web Automation Tool" and not just "Web Automation Tool". I got my answer as soon as I started to play with the tool. It starts as a record and playback tool and extends itself much beyond that.
When you record, you can have Sahi Pro create a Accessor Repository(AR) file for you by turning on the 'Record with Accessor Repository' option. Once a Accessor Repository file is chosen, an element will always be identified first by its AR entry, even when not in recording mode. This prevents the same element from being identified in multiple ways in different scripts. One can thereby get rid of the brittleness of the recorded scripts. There is also provision to modify existing AR entries.
Adding a dot (.) after the accessor in the accessor field, shows all the properties of the accessor. Further typing narrows down the list of properties.
Clicking on Assert will create an assertion for just that property.
When record and playback tools restrict themselves to the recording of the scripts and the tester has to write code to get logs and reports, Sahi Pro is different. One does not have to write a single line of code to get the logs, reports of the scripts/suites. It's inbuilt logging and recording feature is quite handy. One could also run SQL on the reports to get the exact report they desire.
I don't think many record and playback tools, in fact many automation tools provide the feature of distributed playback. What Sahi Pro does is something quite amazing. You can play multiple scripts at once – on a single machine or even better across machines. Do you know any other tool which can run multiple instances of Internet Explorer on the same machine? Sahi Pro does it with ease.
With such powerful features, Sahi Pro not just relies on record and playback but is much more powerful. So, as a tester you can start with Record and Playback and build on it based on the context. Start adding assertions, create functions at the click of a button, use the common accessor repository or use the exhaustive documentation about the different APIs supported by Sahi Pro.
It is time to change your perception about record and playback tools and consider Sahi Pro to be the Tester's Web Automation tool. Try it out here and let us know what you think. Here is the quick tutorial to get you up to speed.

A Mississippi State press release says Taylor's research explores how higher education administrators, faculty and staff members can enhance student success and improve the "quality, quantity and diversity" of U.S. graduates by using data and other promising practices.
Paula Bonner, who has served in key leadership roles supporting the University of Wisconsin–Madison for more than four decades, announced her plans to retire from university service. Bonner, currently president of the Wisconsin Alumni Association (WAA) and chief alumni officer for the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA), said she will step down from those roles effective June 30. She earned her master's degree from the School of Education's Department of Kinesiology in 1976.
The Capital Times recently put the spotlight on UW-Madison alumnus Sean Frazier, who is helping student-athletes excel in life beyond sports. Frazier earned a master's degree from the School of Education's Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis in 2015. Frazier also ran many of the day-to-day operations of the UW athletics department until 2013, when he left to become the athletic director at Northern Illinois University.
UW-Madison alumna Kristen Leigh Kludt is publishing her debut book this month titled, "A Good Way Through: My Journey with God from Disappointment into Hope." Kludt received a bachelor's degree in English Education from the School of Education in 2006, and taught for seven years before focusing on writing. In the book, Kludt chronicles her spiritual journey after struggling with depression as a young adult, dealing with other hardships, and how she found healing in faith.
UW-Madison alumni Todd Anderson and Bruce Crownover are receiving national attention for their groundbreaking work capturing disappearing glaciers through art. Anderson and Crownover, along with Ian van Coller, recently finished a project called "The Last Glacier," in which the artists worked on capturing the glaciers in Glacier National Park.

The geographic distribution of the ACE II genotype: a novel finding
Y.B. Saab, Paul Gard, Andrew Overall
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism insertion (I) or deletion (D) has been widely studied in different populations, and linked to various functional effects and associated with common diseases. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the ACE I/D frequency in different populations and geographic location; ACE I/D allele frequency in the Lebanese population and ACE II genotype contribution to the geographic trend were also identified. Five hundred and seventy healthy volunteers were recruited from the Lebanese population. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal cells, and amplified by polymerase chain reaction; products were then identified by gel electrophoresis. The frequencies of the different ACE I/D genotypes were determined and tested for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). To assess the relationship between ACE I/D frequency and geographic location, and to identify how the Lebanese population contributes to the geographic trend in ACE I/D frequencies, Eurasian population samples and Asians were incorporated in the analyses from the literature. The frequency of the I allele in the Lebanese population was 27% and the corresponding II genotype was at a frequency of 7.37% (in HWE; P=0.979). The ACE I allele and genotype frequencies show an association with longitude, with frequencies increasing eastwards and westwards from the Middle East.

Q: Access allow addings but no edits in certain columns in a subform I got question if it is possible to allow addings but no edits in certain columns in a subform? I can do this for the whole form, but i can't do this for single columns.
For example:

I want to be able to allow edits in [Type], and in [Omschrijving] I only want to allow adds and no edits.
I can lock certain columns. For example:
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.Omschrijving.Locked = True
End Sub

But then I'm not able to make any adds. Is there another way to make this possible?

A: Only lock if not a new record. Use form Current event instead of Load.
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
   Me.Omschrijving.Locked = True
End If

Might use Enabled property instead so control shows as unavailable for edit, in which case could use Conditional Formatting for textboxes and comboboxes instead of VBA. Rule something like:
Expression is: Not Forms!formname.NewRecord
Then click the Enable/Disable button so if this condition is met, control is disabled.

How times have changed in the 25 years since former primate Michael Peers offered his apology to Canada's Indigenous peoples on behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada.
On Aug. 6, 1993 in Minaki, northern Ont., Archbishop Peers offered a well-articulated, humble and deeply felt expression of regret. He did so without any notes. He wanted to share his thoughts personally and directly.
In terms of profound human encounter, how can formal apologies hope to mean something? When institutions apologize through their spokespersons, how can that apology be made authentically? What does it mean when a church apologizes to a representative and wronged group of people?
At the time, I had struggled with those hard questions and wrote that true apology must go beyond words toward deeds that are dedicated to healing and reconciliation. Even more, those saying "sorry" must begin learning how to change their behaviour through listening, and by accepting and implementing the witness received. In other words, start a reciprocal process of restoration instigated by the victim. This would mean a total reversal of former behaviour and indication of a common change of heart.
I cherish, to this day, my exchanges with Michael Peers at that time. He sincerely hoped that he would not only apologize well, but follow that up with deeds of true penitence that would have long-term impact.
In Canada, during the past quarter-century, there have been positive signs that this is starting to occur. Increasingly, mutual healing is happening between our citizens. The Anglican Journal has reported many of these stories.
Much more needs to be done, of course, but I would like to report briefly on two experiences I've had that suggest progress is being made.
The McDougall Stoney Mission Society is an association that exists to tell the story of the historic encounter of early west Methodist missionaries and the Stoney First Nation of southern Alberta.
I participate in the planning of two commemorative services on the mission site each spring and summer. Usually, we depend on non-Native clergy and laity to lead these services. Recently, however, the son of a Stoney chief stepped forward and took over the leadership, with the help of a number of his relatives and friends. History was made, and a powerful celebration of the rejoining of our two traditions was recognized.
That evening, we attended, at Theatre Calgary, the world premiere of Honour Beat, a new play with an all-Indigenous cast by Tara Beagan, who is of part Ntlaka'pamux and part Irish ancestry. The drama told an Indigenous story of human resilience and family love, using modern technology to recreate flashbacks to traumatic scenes of a residential school, experienced by a dying grandmother.
Both recent experiences exposed me to the dramatic emergence of Indigenous leadership in contemporary worship and the arts. While they are not the first such breakthroughs I have experienced, they are poignant examples of how our Canadian society is changing, and how majority cultures are learning much as a result of Indigenous initiatives. Archbishop Peers will be pleased!
Note: Corrections have been made to this article. Playwright Tara Beagan is of part Ntlaka'pamux and part Irish ancestry, not Métis, and the cast of Honour Beat is entirely, not partly, Indigenous.
My name is Tara Beagan. I am not Métis. I am Ntlaka'pamux and Irish "Canadian." Further, the entire cast is Indigenous.
Thank you for drawing our attention to these errors, Tara Beagan, and our sincere apologies. They have now been corrected.
Thanks for reading and updating my attempt to describe your wonderful drama "Honour Beat".
Thanks also to Tali Folkins for clarifying what I was trying to say.
the two racial traditions I would like to know if there is a shorter way to describe it, if not – Metis?

Fashion (disambiguation)
Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, body or furniture. Fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behaviour and the newest creations of textile designers. Because the more technical term costume is regularly linked to the term "fashion", the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while "fashion" generally means clothing, including the study of it. Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.
Clothing fashions
Early Western travelers, whether to Persia, Turkey, India, China, would frequently remark on the absence of change in fashion there. The Japanese Shogun's secretary bragged (not completely accurately) to a Spanish visitor in 1609 that Japanese clothing had not changed in over a thousand years. However, there is considerable evidence in Ming China of rapidly changing fashions in Chinese clothing. Changes in costume often took place at times of economic or social change, as occurred in ancient Rome and the medieval Caliphate, followed by a long period without major changes. In 8th-century Moorish Spain, the musician Ziryab introduced to Córdobasophisticated clothing-styles based on seasonal and daily fashions from his native Baghdad, modified by his own inspiration. Similar changes in fashion occurred in the 11th century in the Middle East following the arrival of the Turks, who introduced clothing styles from Central Asia and the Far East.

Confessions of a Shopaholic is a 2009 American romantic comedy film based on the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella. Directed by P. J. Hogan, the film stars Isla Fisher as the shopaholic journalist and Hugh Dancy as her boss.
Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher) is a shopping addict who lives with her best friend Suze (Krysten Ritter). She works as a journalist for a gardening magazine but dreams of joining the fashion magazine Alette. On the way to an interview with Alette, she buys a green scarf. Her credit card is declined, so Rebecca goes to a hot dog stand and offers to buy all the hot dogs with a check, if the seller gives her back change in cash, saying the scarf is to be a gift for her sick aunt. The hot dog vendor refuses but a man offers her $20.
When Rebecca arrives at the interview, she's told that the position has been filled. However, the receptionist tells her there is an open position with the magazine Successful Savings, explaining that getting a job at Successful Savings could eventually lead to a position at Alette magazine. Rebecca interviews with Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), the editor of Successful Savings and the man who just gave her the $20. She hides her scarf outside his office, but Luke's assistant comes into the office and gives it back to her. Rebecca knows the game is up and leaves.

A recent article in the Niagara County section presented the Niagara Heritage Partnership idea for an extended greenhouse over the parkway lanes where they cross the gorge power plant. This is one of over fifteen projects related to parkway removal and the restoration of natural landscapes along the gorge rim. Other projects include the relocation of the State Parks maintenance buildings from the edge of the gorge to a more appropriate site, the construction of additional wheelchair and handicapped access points, and the reclamation of that part of Devil's Hole State Park made inaccessible by the Power Authority access road. The NHP believes these projects and others listed at www.niagaraheritage.org (under "Terrorists, Casinos, Creating Jobs") to be consistent with its advocacy for restoring the natural environment of the gorge rim.
Of these projects, the greenhouse concept has the highest potential to both create jobs and to be a major tourist attraction and cultural contribution to our region, environmental, educational, and economic. It is undeniably ambitious; it requires studies of heat sources and other investigations; it calls for a creative, open-minded community willing to consider possibilities and opportunities.
Yet the day the concept was introduced, simultaneously, in fact, Sandra Hayes, Richard F. Soluri, and David M. Fleck spoke in opposition. Hayes, director of the Greater Lewiston Business and Professionals Association, stated that NHP had submitted "various plans and dreams," but the "best compromise would be to create various lookout points on the gorge side of the existing parkway for motorists to pull over and enjoy the view." (Does she know about the NHP position paper on "compromise" and, if so, why doesn't she respond to these specifics?) Hayes seems unaware that vehicle access "lookout points" already exist on the American side: at the Gorge Discovery Center, at Whirlpool and Devil's Hole State Parks, the Power Vista, and at Artpark. She wants our side to be like the Niagara Parkway in Canada, and insists the parkway be kept as "expedient access" to the northtowns from Niagara Falls. Soluri, Mayor of Lewiston, says the greenhouse concept "is totally unrealistic." Since, however, he proposes that the Power Authority pay for the construction of a pedestrian bridge over the Niagara River from Lewiston, New York, to Queenston, Ontario, he may not be the best judge of what's realistic or unrealistic.
Fleck, president of the Niagara Falls Hotel and Motel Association, touts the Canadian parkway model, too, saying it "would benefit the handicapped and elderly who aren't able to walk across parklands and whose only opportunity to enjoy the vista is from vehicles." He thus demonstrates his appalling ignorance of the NHP proposal which, from its onset six years ago, has incorporated vehicle access to the gorge rim for the elderly and handicapped and wheelchair users and, moreover, asks for additional access points for wheelchair users and the handicapped, and the retrofitting of existing ones. As pointed out repeatedly, The Injured Workers of New York, Inc. has endorsed the NHP proposal for parkway removal. Would the proposal have gained this support if the needs of the handicapped and wheelchair residents and visitors were ignored?
Fleck, who owns the Howard Johnsons Hotel near the Falls, and who commutes on the parkway from his Youngstown residence, sometimes under the annoying sightseeing helicopters that fly from their home base at his establishment, is also extremely confused about Frederick Law Olmsted. Fleck believes that the greenhouse concept, which has the potential to establish wide bands of greenery and flowering plants across the stark concrete of the gorge power facility, to be anti-Olmsted because the "greenhouse, restaurant, and all the rest of it would be a commercial project." Even Frederick would be smiling and scratching his head trying to make sense out of that.
As political and business leaders, Fleck, Hayes, and Soluri have special responsibilities to be informed on the issues about which they express opinions. Their elevated status gives weight to their remarks, which influences others. When they have the facts wrong or when they refuse to learn the facts, they do others a disservice. Perhaps they believe their elevated status exempts them from considering an issue before they condemn it, that they can say whatever pops into their heads, whatever is "expedient," whatever they think will play well with some constituency. But they should know it doesn't play well with the Partnership, and that we urge others not to be misled by their remarks, but to carefully consider the NHP arguments before making decisions about an issue that will impact our region for many years to come.

Stories from the Maine Coast > Introducing MCHT's Newest, Largest Preserve: Rocky Lake
Stories from the Coast
Introducing MCHT's Newest, Largest Preserve: Rocky Lake
Rocky Lake is so remote you can skate across its frozen surface for miles without catching a glimpse of human life. As the sun rose pink on a cold, clear day last January, Maine Coast Heritage Trust's downeast project manager Jacob van de Sande made that frigid trip, carving tracks along Rocky Lake's shoreline edged in spruce and fir. As of March 2017, 2,352 acres of this dense forest and over six miles of water frontage is now permanently protected by MCHT.
While the ice thaws and the forest greens in the coming months, MCHT will be fundraising for stewardship and developing a plan to care for this preserve into the future. "I see Rocky Lake as an opportunity to work with people in the area to figure out how to make this land useful," says Jacob van de Sande, MCHT Land Protect Manager, noting the potential for forest management of a firewood program, among other possibilities.
Situated between Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge and the Cutler Coast Public Reserved Land, protection of this land creates a wildlife corridor. It is also a critical piece of a larger MCHT initiative to restore the Orange River watershed and rejuvenate once-abundant river herring populations—an important first step toward bringing groundfishing and jobs back to the area. This project would not have been possible without The Conservation Fund, which purchased the property in June 2015 to give MCHT time to raise the necessary funds to acquire and permanently protect the property.
For his part, Tim Beal of nearby Marion Township is happy MCHT is, "keeping Rock Lake in that wild state." Beal knows and loves this land, swims and canoes on the lake and occasionally checks up on the brook trout population. "I am looking forward to the work the land trust will do to help preserve the remote feel of the area," he says. "And also hopefully get more people out on the water with canoes and kayaks."

It's time for the runaway MJ and her cohort Nelson to leave the comfort of USA and cross the border at Brownsville, Texas to Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
With hearts pumping insanely they cross the first bridge they see. As they approach the Mexican side they know already they are in a different world, one with which they are unfamiliar. They pull into Mexican Customs and Immigration and look at each other, their eyes asking 'now what'?
It's 8 a.m. and there is no crowd. They consider themselves lucky since their processing takes only about 20 minutes. Mind you, the female officer offers no help. Her name tag reads Sandra, and MJ refers to her as 'Sullen Sandra'. SS pouts as she slowly settles about her work filling out forms, frowning at Nelson's credit card, speaking only Spanish when Nelson and MJ know she is bilingual. Discussing her later, they agree Sandra is the perfect border bureaucrat.
They must copy all their documents: passports, car ownership, credit cards, driver's license, visa, and on and on. Sullen Sandra ceremoniously directs them to two guys at the copias desk who dutifully make their copies and then slyly ask in heavily accented English: "you can make a donation to help pay for the copies if you want." Nelson parts with two American dollars. The clerks look at the meagre amount and merely grunt.
Then it's over to the bank---also located inside the Customs federal building-- to make a $40 payment for the importation license of Nelson's car.
Finally they are free to enter the country. As they drive on their way, MJ realizes with amazement and uncertainty that she is actually in Mexico…Matamoros, Mexico to be exact, directly across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas. Right away she notices differences. The Mexican town is dirty, dusty, crowded, with multi Carta Blanca beer signs.
For a few minutes, preoccupied with the newness and unfamiliarity of the sights and sounds around her, she never thinks once about her former partner and tormentor, Tommy.

Gerrard's view on Villa target
Villa Roar News June 3, 2019 June 3, 2019 1 Minute
STEVEN Gerrard says that Villa target James Tavernier has what it takes to be one of the Premier League's top full-backs.
Villa have been strongly linked with summer move for the Glasgow Rangers captain.
Boss Dean Smith is staging a major rebuild after winning promotion to the Premier League.
And he is seemingly making full-backs one of his priorities at the moment.
Villa are believed to be one of the frontrunners to sign England Under-20 defender James Justin from Luton Town.
And Tavernier, 27, – who started his career a decade ago at Newcastle United – is also said to be on his wish-list.
Ibrox boss Gerrard rates Tavernier and does not want to lose him.
But he admits that if a big money offer comes in, then it could be difficult to say no.
Gerrard told reporters in Scotland: "Tav could potentially get to the level of the top full-backs in England.
"If you analyse it, he's got the body to do it. He's robust enough to do it and he's got the technical ability to do it.
"His quality from the side, in terms of crossing and assists, it doesn't matter what league you play in.
"He's improved defensively but can still get better. It's no surprise that he's been on the agenda for most of this season.
"There've been calls about Tav with clubs interested. I am sure there still is.
"The reality is, and I probably shouldn't be saying this, but every player has his price."

Mystery in Mactown by K.E. Robinson (The Crescent Moon Chronicles #2)
TITLE: Mystery in Mactown
AUTHOR: K.E. Robinson
PUBLISHER: Atmosphere Press
LENGTH: ?? pages
GENRE: Mystery, Fantasy
Queer Rep Summary: No canon queer rep.
*I received a free review copy in exchange for an honest review of this book.
Julissa is trying to take care of her kids after Renaldo walked out on her due to the revelations about baby Peerless's origins, Renaldo is trying to figure out where the heck he is, and Rita is trying to figure out where he went.
The tone is serious enough to give importance to the societal traumas underlying the status quo, but the fast pace and frequent sense of jocularity keeps it feeling lighter. It's quippy as is fitting for a superhero story, and it works pretty seamlessly on that front.
Julissa has a much bigger role this time around and it's a welcome change since I like her much better than Renaldo. The balance between their scenes is pretty even for much of the book and it works very well. There are some other perspectives as well, to follow the four main storylines.
character relationships - There's a very complicated web of relationships between many of the characters, but the most important relationships to track are centered around Julissa and Renaldo.
worldbuilding - The worldbuilding in terms of place uses a lot of specific locations without describing them much. It gives it a very local feel, since it would be a bit odd for the characters to stop and explain their hometown and the surrounding area. It's a style of worldbuilding I usually like, one which assumes the reader will be able to settle in and keep up.
The way the narrative bounces around was a little confusing, and the brief sex scene has some descriptions which are more puzzling than erotic. It's the kind of story where I had a great time reading it but for much of the I have no idea what happened to anyone but Julissa and her kids.
As much as I was a bit lost on the actual court case, it was doing a lot of heavy lifting (especially in combination with Rita's perspective) in terms of the ideas of justice within the legal system. I just wish it seemed more affected by the existence of vigilantes which was established in CRESCENT MOONS but is barely an afterthought here.
It wraps up one thing left hanging (the court case for a shooting from the first book). There's a new storyline involving Renaldo's disappearance, and a big thing was introduced and resolved by the end. I can't think of anything that it specifically leaves to be picked up later, except for something teased in the epilogue that's mysterious enough to be interesting, but didn't give me much of a sense of what another sequel would pick up. There are both returning and new perspectives, though I'm not sure how similar any of the returning narrators are to their previous characterization. They are distinct from each other in terms of individual dialogue, but kind of blend together in terms of unvoiced descriptions.
It wouldn't make sense to start here. There's a lot of context from the first book which is sporadically and disjointedly explained in this one, it works as a reminder but not as an explanation for someone who didn't read the first book at all. That's understandable since it is book two and it's better to go back for the first book. There are four major plotlines: Julissa's life without Renaldo (who left at the end of the first book and now is missing), Renaldo with his captors, Rita and the other officers, and a court trial. The first three plotlines all made sense to me and I was able to follow them well, but the court trial fit in oddly (possibly because I read the first book a while ago). Much of the time they felt like four separate but intertwined stories, though the very end brought together two of the storylines in a very exciting finale.
Overall this is an intriguing but slightly uneven sequel with evocative characters and a unique style. If you enjoyed CRESCENT MOONS, then don't miss MYSTERY IN MACTOWN.

Rise and Cry: A Look at the Worst of DC Comics, Part 11
Feb 3, 2021 Batman, Black Canary, Cheshire, DC Comics, Dick Grayson, Justice League, Rise of Arsenal
Back in November, in a MAILBAG question, friend of the Geekery Kenny asked me if The Rise and Fall of Arsenal – the 4-issue miniseries from 2010 – was DC Comics' "lowest point." Now that we've finished our look at CRY FOR JUSTICE, we're getting deep into the heart of the question.
Justice League: Rise of Arsenal 3
Written by JT Krul
Pencils by Sergio Aniño, Geralso Borges and Kevin Sharpe
Inks by Marlo Alquiza and John Dell
Colors by Hi-Fi
As we hit the penultimate chapter in what is one of the worst story arcs ever done by DC Comics, things absolutely do not get better for Roy Harper, the hero known as Arsenal. His daughter was killed by the megalomaniacal PROMETHEUS, who also sawed off most of his right arm; his mentor, Green Arrow Oliver Queen is in jail after putting an arrow in Prometheus' head; and all the stress of the situation has caused Harper to slide back into his drug addiction, which is fueling his rage at the world.
The tragic story could be a harrowing tale of trauma and how a recovering addict who finds himself in a terrible situation deals with it, or maybe even rises above it with the help of his friends and family. After all, the four-issue miniseries is called "The Rise of Arsenal." One would think overcoming the negatives in his life would be the path of the story.
Instead, Roy Harper cradles a dead cat that he thinks is his dead daughter and gets his ass kicked by one of his best friends in a drug-induced fury. And that's not even the most cringe-inducing moment of the issue.
No, that honorific goes to the opening scene, a confrontation between Harper and the assassin Cheshire, Lian's mother. Cheshire attacks Harper for letting Lian die – though Harper correctly points out that he did his best to protect her while she ran away to continue being a killer for hire – and the pair have it out in Harper's apartment. The rage turns to grief as they both start to mourn the loss of their daughter. The grief quickly subsides to lust, as they start hooking up.
There's very little transition there to set the stage for these mood changes, it all just kind of happens in sequence and it's all very jarring. And probably in bad taste, though I suppose I should be used to that, eleven issues in to this story.
Just when you think the story may ease into Roy and Cheshire talking through what happened, Cheshire makes it clear that Roy couldn't perform because of everything that's on his mind (plus the drugs). Harper takes that as any man being written by bad sitcom writers would and storms off to patrol Star City.
And that's where he busts up a drug deal, buys heroin off the dealer instead of sending him to prison and uses in a back alley after having a conversation with a hallucination of his dead drug buddy.
After Harper nearly kills a bunch of gang members who he believed was an army of Prometheus and imagines a conversation with Lian, who is actually a dead cat, Batman comes calling to get Roy some help. But this isn't Bruce Wayne. No, Bruce Wayne was, at this point, thought to be dead but was actually lost in time after getting hit with Darkseid's omega beams. Instead, this Batman is Dick Grayson, former Nightwing, former Teen Titan and one of Roy's closest friends.
Unable to calm Harper down, Batman beats him up, knocks him out and puts him in a rehab facility, where Harper continues to talk to his dead drug buddy as the issue comes to a close.
Going all the way back to the first issue of Cry For Justice, this whole story line has been immature people writing scenes based off of, "hey wouldn't this be cool?" moments without really threading them together. At times, they even outright ignored the continuity of their own story. Having Roy in a rehab facility – strapped to a bed – should be a sign that things are about to turn around, but nothing about this series leaves me with any sense of hope for a happy ending.
Thankfully, we have just one more issue to go and we can put all this nastiness behind us.
