Roman art consisted of art produced in ancient Rome, particularly in the territories of the Roman Empire. Prior to 500 B.C., Romans were influenced by the Etruscans. Roman art began around 500 B.C. and ended at the fall of Rome in 1453 A.D. Medieval art covers a wide period of time in art history and covers the production of art and artists in North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. The Medieval period ranged from 476 A.D. to 1453 A.D.
An artistic medium is how the artist chooses to create art and often refers to the material used in the creation of artwork. Medieval art consisted of mediums like sculpture, stained glass, metalwork and mosaics. Roman art mediums often included forms like architecture, sculpture, mosaics and paintings.
Medieval art grew largely out of the early Christian church after the fall of the Roman Empire. The art of the Medieval times took on a different direction. Medieval art became more focused on symbolism representing Christian art and Christian concepts. Art took on the role of church decorations.
Roman art was developed largely because of the Roman Empire, during the time of Romulus to Emperor Constantine. Roman art often depicted Roman mythology because of the Roman belief in the power of the gods, but artists also illustrated Roman Emperors, particularly in sculpture.
Roman artists borrowed heavily from their Greek precedents, especially in the areas of art and portraiture. This demonstrates the esteem which Romans had for Greek artists. Medieval art is a mixture of Roman, Islamic and German art. Medieval art varied widely depending on the location of the artists and was also influenced by their heritage. Changes in art over time showed how artistic styles were assimilated by different cultures.
The development of art in both Roman and Medieval times was largely due to the assimilation of cultures because of people being conquered. Roman art was also commissioned and put on display in different countries as decoration, widening the influence of artistic expression.
What Are the Differences in Neoclassical Art & Romantic Art?


We need to know much, much more about the products we consume, says Tim Wilson.
The greatest component of the environmental impact of a product is often not its use, but its production. In some cases the global value chain can account for up to 80% of the total impact. While it is clear that this will vary significantly from one product to another, it seems logical that the process of making something can use more resources and affect more systems than using it.
Take bread. Growing, harvesting and milling wheat, then mixing it with other ingredients (which each have their own upstream value-chain) to form dough, and baking that into a loaf needs more resources and interacts with more systems than eating it – or leaving it to go mouldy in the cupboard and then throwing it away. However, this estimation looks very different for something like a washing machine or a car.
Much work has been done to estimate the environmental impact of products, perhaps most significantly on the energy required throughout the product life-cycle. This work has been used to estimate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributions to global warming. In 2011 the Scope 3 GHG protocol was released, allowing better estimation of upstream and downstream value chain emissions. But two things leap out at me: firstly we're only estimating, and secondly what about all the other forms of impact on living and non-living systems?
Anyone who has an electricity meter can attest to the inaccuracies of estimation by the periodic balancing bill they get to make the estimates more closely reflect real life. Importantly, in the case of domestic electricity consumption, the actual usage is being measured – almost everywhere – so the estimates can get better and better over time. The difference between my household's consumption and my neighbour's gets measured and accounted for. I have a clear personal financial incentive to use less. This is simply not the case for almost every product I buy. The energy used in the upstream value-chain has not even been estimated, let alone measured. For those where estimates have been made, there is typically no comparable data between similar products to allow me to shop "better". Remember that for many products this will represent the majority of the energy footprint - the proverbial "hot-spot".
And what if we are interested in the effect of our purchases on other systems: water, people, forests, marine life, soil and so on (and so on)? Is approximately 80% of the impact buried deep in the value-chain for these systems too? Some frameworks similar to those for GHG's are beginning to be built, but for others it is just too complicated. There are a plethora of labelling schemes that set standards for producers to meet, but they are typically focused on one system – forests or fisheries for example – and so only apply to part of the problem. It may be possible to learn that some proportion of the fibre in my paper came from a forest that is managed to a given standard, but nothing about the forest itself, or any of the processes that turned the wood into paper.
Don't get me wrong: estimation is critical, models are fantastic, labelling schemes are great – but surely we must also set out to measure what is actually happening. We must collect actual information from real value-chains about specific products, and do so continuously, at scale. We must use that to inform people about how products are actually made: not just consumers, but regulators and businesses. We must use it to differentiate the good performers from the bad, to harness the power of competitive commerce to drive measurable improvement with a clear ROI. We must use it to make better models which provide more accurate estimates to underpin planning.
It sounds like common sense, but in reality the majority of organisations are unable to do this. The number of manufactured products where it is possible to understand even which businesses were involved in making them – let alone where in the world they were or what processes were run – is negligible. The reasons include lack of awareness of the problem, lack of strategies to engage, and lack of tools to support. Collecting real, accurate and verifiable production data from entire value-chains might be considered a 'wicked problem': the changing landscape doesn't make it easy to plan a way forward.
On the other hand, it seems rather a simple logic problem – for any product that we need more information about, we just need to discover the process that made it. From there, we can find out who was responsible and what they used in the process (the inputs). Those inputs are products too, so we can ask exactly the same question again, and again until we have enough information. How hard can it be?

One of the important tenets of democracy is the effectiveness of the state. It is against this backdrop that we have developed africancitizenswatch.org. This is a platform seeking to enhance the quality of democracy in different countries across Africa and contribute towards improved state delivery. This online tracking tool provides real-time information about the policy performance of government. Through this process, non-state actors have evidence that can help enhance their participation in public policy processes and provide citizens with meaningful opportunities to identify their needs, and priorities and give feedback on government performance. This is a precondition for inclusive societies.
Through the tracker we seek to highlight the following about democracy:
Free and fair elections are a necessary but not sufficient condition for democracy
Active citizens are essential and play a critical part in nurturing democracy
The work of democracy is the work of citizens
Officeholders serve at the pleasure of citizens
The hope in the short term is that the information collected and analysed through the trackers will achieve the following:
Enhance government accountability in terms of delivering on its own promises
Nurture processes and platforms of learning/hearing from citizens on their expectations
Shifting political narratives and discourses beyond personalities to policy issues
Encouraged increased participation and engagement of citizens in public policy processes
How Do We Track
The promises that we are tracking are derived from the commitments that winning political parties made in their manifestos. We evaluate each promise using the scale below:
These are promises that have been acted on and fully completed.
Actions that the government has commenced and is in the process of achieving.
Not Commenced
These are promises that might remain not started and if they remain that way by end of the tracking cycle they will be classified as Unaccomplished.
These are commitments that will be changed/modified due to some changed circumstances. We will do an analysis to determine how these undertakings compare to what was stated in the ruling party's manifesto.
These are promises that the government would have not made any action towards achieving or those rendered unachievable owning to contradictory policy positions.
We will continue tracking the implementation of the promises until the final day in office of the elected government. However, beyond just tracking we will also measuring if the actions adopted have contributed to positive change and where possible identify the limitations.
This platform was made possible by the generous assistance of our following partners:

Justene Williams is an Australian artist whose large-scale installation works encompass video, photography, sculpture and performance. Williams' practice often draws on still and moving images from within art history and popular culture as a tool for investigating and renegotiating the essence of forgotten imagery. From these investigations, Williams constructs elaborate sets and costumes made from collaged medias (varieties of refuse materials, her personal archive of photographs, or the annals of Art and Film history) as sites for her delirious choreographies. In these multifaceted and spectacular environments Williams performs hypnotic and absurd actions in an attempt to reconstruct and explore ideas of perception and reinterpretation, sometimes even to invoke the ghosts of artists past.
Williams' video and performance work has recently shown at PERFORMA15, New York, the 20th Biennale of Sydney, Artspace Sydney, and Monash University Art Museum, Melbourne, and in recent years at the Art Gallery of NSW in We Used to Talk About Love – Balnaves Contemporary 2013, in Volume One: MCA Collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney in 2012; and Contemporary Australia: WOMEN at the Gallery of Modern Art/Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane 2012.

Learn how to order low carb Wendy's.
Get my Wendy's low carb menu with basic macros and nutrition stats for all 34 of their low carb options. It's a great fit for anyone eating keto, low carb, low sugar, or diabetic friendly.
In a hurry? Get my Wendy's Low Carb Menu one-pager if you want to see full macros and nutritional stats for all 34 of their low carb / keto friendly options.
The first thing I noticed when pulling into Wendy's is that her house is in order. The exterior is renovated, the tree are trimmed, and the drive-through menu is nice and tidy.
It's a refreshing change of pace compared to the curb appeal of your average fast food chain. The only question is whether there's more to Wendy than just her looks.
My first entree was a Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad special ordered with grilled chicken and no croutons. Presentation was amazing.
My special-order Grilled Chicken Caesar. No croutons.
Bright colors, large chunks of chicken, and actual slices of parmesan. Felt premium.
Even with two packets of Caesar dressing, I still wanted more so I added my own Ranch dressing back at the house. If you like your salad drenched in dressing, request three packets of Caesar at the checkout window.
The lettuce was a bit course for my tastes, but overall the salad was great. At 500 calories and 6 net carbs it's a good option for low carb / keto eaters.
My second entree was a bunless Dave's Triple with Cheese and once again the presentation was spectacular.
My bunless Dave's Triple with Cheese.
Three quarter pound patties stacked with cheese, pickles, and onions resting atop a thin bed of lettuce. It offers 875 calories and 5 net carbs.
I was ready to write an enthusiastic recommendation for the Triple but then bit in and noticed a faint fish smell. Ewww. It was noticeable enough to give me pause, but not enough to make me stopping eating. That was four days ago and I'm still alive.
I have a masochistic streak so I'm going back to order it again to see if the fish smell thing was a one-off. Until then, can't recommend. UPDATE: I went back and re-ordered the Dave's Triple four days later. The fish smell wasn't as prominent, but there is still a smell that I don't like. I'm not sure if it's freezer burn or stale meat, or what, but it's off putting enough to notice, but not off putting enough for me to discard the burger. Hard to explain.
For good measure, I went back and ordered the bunless Asiago Ranch Grilled Chicken Club. They messed up the order and gave me a basic bunless Grilled Chicken Sandwich.
My bunless Grilled Chicken Sandwich.
The grilled chicken breast was tender and well-flavored, but the entree as a whole was relatively boring and flavorless. I added some Franks' Buffalo Sauce at home to make it more enjoyable.
A few weeks later I returned and ordered the bunless Asiago Ranch Chicken Club.
My bunless Asiago Chicken Club.
Of note, they messed up the order again at the drive-thru window, but eventually corrected it. It comes with chicken breast, bacon, Asiago cheese, ranch, lettuce, and tomatoes.
The ingredients are unique & tasty but would be more enjoyable and convenient to eat as a salad with the chicken, cheese and veggies chopped up. It was a little cumbersome to try and eat by hand or fork.
I recommend the Spicy Chicken Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken, No Croutons, and three packets of Caesar dressing.
That'll get you about 700 calories and 9 net carbs.
FYI…the grilled chicken is not spicy, so the resulting dish is actually a Mild Chicken Caesar Salad instead of a Spicy one.
There are 10 different burgers on the menu that can be ordered without a bun. You can also get a bunless grilled chicken sandwich or grilled chicken caesar salad.
Get my Wendy's Low Carb Menu one-pager if you want to see full macros and nutritional stats for all 34 of their low carb / keto friendly options.
I've got every ingredient spec'd out so you build-your-own custom bunless burgers or bunless chicken sandwiches if you'd like.
In case you're new to low carb / keto eating, I'll point out that you can't eat any of the buns, baked potatoes, fries, chilis, fruits, or frosties on the Wendy's menu. Sadly, you can't eat the nuggets either.
Chicken Nuggets – 10 net carbs for 100 calories for a 4-piece.
Spicy Chicken Breast – 16 net carbs and 270 calories.
Homestyle Chicken Breast – 17 net carbs and 280 calories.
Crispy Chicken Patty – 9 net carbs for 160 calories.
If you're looking for some lower carb chicken nuggets and bummed out after reading this, the check out my ordering guide for Chick-Fil-A.
I rate Wendy's as low carb friendly because you can get bunless burgers and low carb salads served in sturdy plastic containers which make for a convenient low carb eating experience.
Low carb entrees on menu – No. You can request bunless burgers & grilled chicken sandwiches and they have a chicken caesar salad on the menu that becomes low carbs once you request no croutons.
Satiety of low carb entrees – Above Average. Their entrees are sizable enough to fill you up. Their full-sized chicken caesar salad is hefty and they offer a triple patty burger which is a great fit for low carb diets.
Taste of low carb entrees – Mixed results. Their entrees looked amazing, but had some taste issues. The chicken caesar salad was pretty great overall, but the lettuce was a little coarse and grainy for my tastes. The triple cheeseburger looked delicious, but had a faint fishy smell that repulsed me enough to write about it, but not enough to stop eating it. I went back and tried it again and it wasn't as repulsing of a smell, but it was still smelling stale or a little off versus what I typically expect a burger to smell like.
Price / value of low carb entrees – Above average. Typically a low carb salad order is a sucker's play at a fast food chain, but my large grilled chicken caesar was $6.69 which seemed like a good value especially when you factor in the presentation (see photo in the "What I ordered" section). The triple cheeseburger was also $6.69 and that felt like a great value for so many calories.
Ordering experience – Average. Curb appeal was outstanding at my nearest Wendy's location. I especially love their minimalist drive-thru menu which was easy to read. Impressively, during my first order, the cashier took it upon himself to ensure my Chicken Caesar salad didn't have croutons. Unimpressively, they messed up my order the second time through.
While my orders had some issues, I think it's worth giving Wendy's a shot. I'm not one to write off restaurants after a bad taste experience — especially if they score high marks in other areas.
NOTE: Wendy's doesn't serve breakfast at most locations so check before you go or you might end up like me –> sitting alone in a drive-thru at 8:45AM wondering where everyone is.
My next low carb / keto ordering guide is supposed to be for Baskin Robbins which has the 9th most locations of any fast food chain in the US. If they don't have anything low carb, I'll be moving on to Hardee's whom I'm not familiar with.


Currently the United States cannabis industry employs roughly 125,000 people and is projected to grow to over 400,000 by 2021. The $10 billion market is expected to grow to $40 billion in that same span, which would make it the fastest growing industry in the country at nearly 400%.
The unemployment rate is approaching an all-time low, and in June 2018, the U.S. Department of Labor reported more job openings than unemployed workers.
The legal cannabis industry is still relatively new, so there is a limited supply of experienced candidates in a high-demand market.
Many top-performers are reluctant to enter the business, due to the past stigma of cannabis, or for personal/family reasons.
As more states legalize cannabis, the demand for experienced talent will surge.
We researched thousands of current online job postings and spoke with executives in the cannabis sector about their current and future needs. Here the top positions that are/will be in short supply.
Where will these people come from?
Most of the hiring managers we spoke with told us that if they can't find someone with cannabis industry experience, they would likely target the food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. This portends a trickle-down effect of creating another talent war in these industries in the coming years. All are highly regulated industries, with people experienced in dealing with different state and federal regulations, quality guidelines, tax issues, distribution and supply chain issues, and so on.
How will companies find the people?
The short answer is: Any way they can. The Green Rush for Talent is like the wild west gold rush. Many will hire family, friends and former co-workers. Some will hire contractors for hourly jobs that don't require advanced education or specific skills. Still other companies will hire an HR manager or a recruiter to post their jobs on the internet. They'll all be fishing in the same pond (job 'seekers'), only getting bites from underwhelming candidates who want to get into the business but have no relevant skills or experience. The great companies know that the real A-players, the ones who will deliver a competitive advantage, are not looking for another job. In fact, they are likely working for the competition. For key roles, and for executive-level positions, companies will often retain an executive search firm who knows how to target these top-tier professionals.
In our unscientific survey, we asked fifty executives and business owners, "What is your most valuable asset?" Over ninety percent gave us the same two-word answer: "My people." We then asked what we thought was a natural follow-up question: "Okay then, tell us what you are doing to make sure you acquire and secure your most valuable asset?" The question was generally met with blank stares, shoulder shrugs, and nervous laughter. We enjoy helping companies and executives turn those blank stares into bold strategies, and hopefully this article is a good start.
The Green Rush for Talent is on, and the teams with the best players will probably win.

The OXO steel Salad Spinner is stylish and easy to operate one-handed. It uses a pump mechanism and includes a brake button. The bowl capacity is 6.34 quarts and the basket capacity is 4.95 quarts.
Stylish. Easy pump mechanism. Brake button. Large capacity.
The Pykal Stainless Steel Salad Spinner is a large salad spinner with a push-lever mechanism. The bowl capacity is 6.8 quarts and the colander basket capacity is 6.34 quarts. It comes with a brake button.
Brake button. Large capacity. Easy to use lever. Non-slip base.
The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is a popular salad spinner that operates via a pump mechanism and includes a brake button. The bowl has a 6.22-quart capacity and the basket has a 4.95-quart capacity.
Easy to use. Clear bowl can be used for serving. Thorough drying. Large capacity. Low Cost.
The Westmark Germany Salad Spinner operates via a hand-crank and features a pour spout for you to easily empty water. It has a five-quart capacity and is available in green or red.
Pour spout. Ergonomic handle. Easy to use hand crank. Large size.
There are several different types of salad spinners. They can typically be operated by a spring, top, or pump mechanism. The best salad spinners will turn smoothly and without too much physical effort on your part. The size should be big enough to make at least a large dinner salad so that you don't have to wash and dry your vegetables in batches. It should be easy to clean since nobody wants to waste time poking the holes of the colander to remove bits and pieces of stuck leafy greens. Durability is important, and our researchers found that special features such as rubber feet can also make a pleasant difference when choosing which salad spinners are best.
The OXO Steel Salad Spinner Bowl comes in an attractive, stainless steel bowl that you can use for serving your salad after drying it. While cheap plastic bowls on some spinners have been known to crack, this spinner is much more durable thanks to the materials used. Reviewers found the pump mechanism easy to use and appreciated the rubber bottom that keeps the bowl from slipping during vigorous salad spinning sessions. Testers also love the clear top that allows for keeping an eye on their vegetables during the spinning process.
The Pykal Stainless Steel Salad Spinner has a large capacity which is great for holding all of your greens, even if you are preparing a salad for a big family. The push-lever feels comfortable to operate and lettuce is dried quickly. Users were impressed by how much water was removed during the spinning process. The bowl feels sturdy and does a good job of gripping onto hard surfaces so you don't have to worry about it spinning off the counter. This spinner also comes with a set of red salad tongs for tossing and serving your salad.
The OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner is a popular choice thanks to its large capacity and easy-to-use pump. While the pump extends down into the basket, there is still plenty of room for your greens. One user noted that the pump even feels comfortable for people suffering from arthritis to use. This salad spinner was found to efficiently clean and dry vegetables and berries. The knob can actually be flattened and locked down for storage, saving you space in your cabinet.
The Westmark Germany Salad Spinner has a large capacity and users have found it very durable over the long-term. It operates via the more traditional and very reliable hand-crank mechanism. Users love the clever pour spout that allows you to easily empty water after spinning. You can choose a red or green salad spinner. The basket can be removed so that the bowl can be used for serving or storage, however, we think that our other salad spinner choices are more aesthetically pleasing if you want to use it to serve at a dinner party.
A salad spinner is a great kitchen tool for washing and removing excess water from your salad. Salad dressing sticks to greens better when they aren't coated in water. In addition to cleaning and drying leafy greens, you can also use your spinner to clean berries and fresh herbs. Our research has found that some people are even using their salad spinners to dry wet swimsuits and wash delicate clothing items! If you're questioning whether you really need a salad spinner in your life, we recommend trying one – we bet that after a week, you won't be able to imagine returning to a life without it!
Make sure you use sharp knives when chopping veggies for your salads! Check out our review of the best knife sharpeners!


As we age, the skin and body undergo structural changes. Dermal fillers such as Radiesse can help reverse some of the visible signs of aging. By adding volume to thinned areas and plumping out facial lines, signs of aging can be erased. There are a variety of products with differing indications depending on location and desired goal. Radiesse is synthetic, injectable filler that has been U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved for reducing moderate to severe wrinkles, folds and creases around the nose and mouth by augmenting the skin's natural collagen supply. It is a safe, effective and long-lasting alternative to injectable collagen and other dermal fillers for smoothing wrinkles and adding facial volume and contour.
Radiesse is composed of microspheres in a water-based gel; the microspheres are made of a substance called calcium hydroxylapatite, which stimulates the production of collagen. When injected into lines and wrinkles, the additional collagen that is produced evens out the lines and wrinkles and adds skin volume.
Before we give any patient Radiesse filler, we clean the treatment area. We then inject Radiesse with a fine needle, typically in about 15 minutes. There is little to no downtime; many patients return to their normal activities right away. Radiesse volumizing filler is also FDA-approved for mixing with the anesthetic lidocaine, which makes the injections less painful. Typically, only one or two treatments are needed to achieve the full benefits of Radiesse volumizing filler.
Results are visible immediately after injection and sometimes last up to a year. Because results are temporary, treatments must be repeated to sustain them. Touch-up treatments may prolong the effects of Radiesse filler.
When you're ready to love the way you look, look to Aron Kressel, MD. Call 212.772.6968 or use our convenient Request a Consultation form. We welcome patients from Wayne, Upper East Side, Lenox Hill, Midtown, Midtown East and close-by communities.

Under Armour's Fast Growth Has Come to An End
Brand Series, Insights, West in SEA
US-homegrown sportswear brand Under Armour was founded in 1996 by the former captain of University of Maryland's football team, Kevin Plank, in his grandmother's basement. Having first-hand experience with clothing unsuitable for sweaty sports led him on a path to find a better fabric.
The first T-shirt from the brand was made from moisture-wicking fabric, which contained fibers that drew sweat off the skin for faster evaporation. It was the perfect material to keep athletes cool and dry.
In the first year, the company generated $17,000 in revenues by selling it to college football teams.
Two years later, Under Armour signed its first league-level deal to become the official supplier for NFL Europe in 1998. Fast forward to 2005, after the company struck deals with media powerhouses like Warner Bros, ESPN, NBC, and organizations like NHL, MBL, and USA Basketball — it eventually went IPO and raised $157 million .
In 2010, the company's annual sales topped $1 billion for the first time.
Confident with double digit growth in the last few years, Under Armour eyes an aggressive $10 billion valuation in 2020, up from the $4 billion valuation in 2016 but with recent headlines reporting the company's decline in quarterly sales for the first time, is the goal feasible?
Under Armour underwent scrutiny after posting its Q3 2017 earnings report, revealing the company's first quarterly sales decline (-5%) since going public in 2005. The news drove the company's stocks down by more than 20%.

Citing the weakening sportswear market in North America, Under Armour is joined by Nike in the disappointing growth of this quarter. But is it really lacking consumer demand when competitor Adidas successfully grew its business in North America by 32% in the first half of 2017?
Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank admitted that the company celebrated fast growth too early.
"I think we probably were a little braggish," said Plank.
"This is now about more than external factors; it demonstrates issues with the brand and its proposition," wrote Neil Sanders, Managing Director of research firm GlobalData Retail.
Another analyst from the firm also mentioned that Under Armour "does not have the clarity or a sense purpose in the way that Lululemon or even Nike does."
In the US, the company is mostly a wholesale brand and heavily dependent on its wholesale partners, which made up 65% of its 2016 revenue. Meanwhile, its direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment — a mix of the company's offline and online footprint — only contribute 31% of the revenue.
So when the partners are getting disrupted by online and their retail stores are closing down , the company's performance is also highly impacted — or to quote Quartz :
"It's selling products that customers aren't buying, at stores where they're not shopping — and when they're shopping, they don't want to pay full price."
"Under Armour is not so broken that it cannot be fixed. But the days of glory, when it would post double-digits uplifts in sales, are over. Now is the time to work out, slim down, and become more competitive," said Sanders.
To face the ' difficult environment ' that the company will likely face into the next year, Under Armour needs to reduce its cost structure and restructure the business in a way that suits the pace of the company's not so rapid growth anymore.
Plank declared 2017 to be a reset year for the company and announced it was going to cut 2% of its global workforce (roughly 280 job cuts), mostly at its HQ.
"After 6.5 years of more than 20% top-line growth that ended in the fourth quarter of last year, we are clearly operating in a different environment, particularly in our largest market (of) North America," said Plank.
Not all is bleak for Under Armour. Although North America slumping its sales in the international market is exceeding expectations with 35% quarterly revenue growth to $350 million.
The company also plans to put more focus on its direct to consumer segment, especially ecommerce.
Under Armour's direct-to-consumer sales, including ecommerce, grew 15% year-on-year while overall sales decreased 4%. – DigitalCommerce360
"We're protecting and prioritizing international expansion, ecommerce development, footwear design development, areas like that while we continue to dig in deep and kind of right-size the cost structure," said CFO David Bergman.
In Asia , the company saw 89% of sales growth in Q2 to $93.6 million, driven by customers from China, Taiwan, and Korea. The company's interest in Southeast Asia has also increased . The company, through retailer Triple , plans to open 35 stores in total across the region including Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand.
"Establishing the retail network in rapidly growing markets such as Southeast Asia is regarded as the key element to leverage this brand marketing strategy," said Toshi Sakurai, GM of consumer service Mitsui APAC (invested in Triple, the sole operator of Under Armour Asia).
Under Armour online stores in Southeast Asia are operated out of Singapore.
"As we look to close out 2017, we do not expect these conditions to improve. And although it's too early for us to provide an outlook for fiscal 2018, our initial assumptions anticipate continued strength across our international and direct-to-consumer businesses," said CEO Kevin Plank.
Double-digit growth again on its home turf might not be in the cards for the company anytime soon, but with a $231 billion global appetite for sportswear growing steadily, Under Armour only needs to play to its strength in the international arena.

[6.26] Morning Round-Up: Philippines' Acudeen Receives $6m to Help SMEs
1. Adidas has nearly doubled its US sneaker market share
According to data from retail researcher NPD Group, Nike's share of the US athletic footwear market was 34.7% last month, a dip from 35.9% in May 2016.
Adidas? Its share nearly doubled year over year, from 6.3% in May 2016 to 11.3% in May 2017.
To be sure, Nike is still the top sports apparel dog in America. It sells more shoes in the US than Adidas, plain and simple. (In 2016, Adidas had $3.6 billion in US revenue, a 24% gain; Nike did more than three times that much.)
But after a bad run of declining market share in the US from 2011 to 2015, Adidas is now steadily eating away at Nike's dominance.
The biggest reason Adidas is on the rise is because of an industry trend that benefits the brand: casual sportswear. That refers to both apparel and sneakers, and Adidas has always been known for streetwear, or as the category is called these days, "athleisure."
Both brands have also doubled down on their ecommerce efforts, with Nike having official online presence across the globe, and considering to sell on Amazon. Adidas also has a worldwide ecommerce presence.
2. Philippines' Acudeen receives $6m fintech financing deal
Early-stage fintech firm Acudeen Technologies has sealed a $6 million financing deal with Rizal Microbank, a unit of Philippine-listed Rizal Commercial Banking Corp.
The money will finance the invoices and receivables to the startup's network of small and medium enterprises in the Philippines.
Bong Roxas, Rizal Microbank president said the biggest problem of SMEs in the country, who are mostly unbanked and underserved by banks, is how to access affordable credit. "With this partnership, we'll be able to reach out to more MSME business operators. It is really aligned with our enhanced business model," Roxas said.

London- and Dubai-based The Modist, a luxury e-retailer that launched this spring as a Net-a-Porter for the modest set, has noticed a similar gravitation toward fun, expressive style among its customer base during Ramadan.
"For women who celebrate it, it's their version of the holiday season, so their shopping trends shift, and they really go all out," says Sasha Sarokin, the company's buying and fashion director.

[6.08] Ecommerce News You Should Know: Facebook Live Auctions Come to Singapore
1. Facebook Live auctions come to Singapore
Several wholesalers and auction houses in Singapore are now regularly conducting auctions via Facebook's live video streaming feature, Facebook Live.
Would-be buyers don't have to be physically present at the event, but they still get to participate in the bidding process – and enjoy the banter of the auction room – as if they were right there.
Grunge Bidding MobCube, Hong Heng Mobile Auction, Live Bid Win, SG Auction House, andelectronics wholesalers Urban Lion are among the retailers that started running Facebook Live auctions in Singapore earlier this year.

2. Alibaba sales forecast tops all estimates as new forays pays off
Alibaba forecasts 45 to 49 percent revenue growth in the year ending March, sustaining a near-unbroken run of 40 percent-plus annual rises and underscoring how investments into businesses beyond its bread-and-butter of online shopping are paying off.
To reflect an increasingly diverse customer base, Alibaba will start reporting "active consumers" as opposed to just buyers, Chief Financial Officer Maggie Wu said during the company's annual investor-day conference Thursday. It'll begin to disclose "customer management revenue" instead of just online marketing, to reflect a broader base of advertising platforms.
"Its market valuation has fallen behind Tencent's recently, so the forecast could inject some confidence," said Ray Zhao, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities Co. "This will be good news for its share price, which could rise 6 to 7 percent based on this forecast," he added without specifying a timeframe.
3. Recommended Reading: Nike and Adidas are making huge investments that should terrify Under Armour
Adidas has reacted to this strongly, with 80% of Adidas' sales in 2016 from products that were less than a year old. Adidas's products are very on-trend, which is contributing to a staggering run of growth, especially in the US where it is growing much faster than a sluggish Nike and an even slower Under Armour.
In order to better react to chasing trends, Adidas is looking to create a "flexible" supply chain.
Both Nike and Adidas have increased capital spending, and Morgan Stanley estimates Nike spent "~$2.5 billion on research and development in the last five years."
Under Armour has lagged behind Nike and Adidas in innovation. Shares have declined 45% in the past year, compared with Nike staying flat and Adidas gaining 30%.

eIQ Data: Number of Online Shoppers in Thailand to Reach Nearly 14M by 2021
Insights, Thailand
As ecommerce in Thailand is aggressively propelling forward, even companies with a rich traditional heritage such as Somjai, one of Thailand's oldest and most famous stationery store chains, are going online to grow their sales channels.
And there is good reason for that – the number of customers shopping online is steadily increasing. According to Statista, 12.1 million consumers in Thailand are expected to make purchases online this year. This number is projected to grow by 15% within the next five years reaching 13.9 million in 2021.
In Thailand, 4.4 million online shoppers are 25-34 year olds and are followed closely by 3.9 million online users aged 16-24 years.
These two age brackets together make up two thirds of all online shoppers and the ratio is projected to remain consistent in the medium term.
Overall, it is forecasted that within five years, every fourth Thai will shop online, up from around every fifth now.
But ecommerce user growth in the Land of Smiles is not even the fastest in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, ecommerce user penetration is expected to almost double from 2015 to 2021. However, the amount customers in Thailand are expected spend on average online is predicted to soar.
In 2021, an online Thai buyer will spend $382 per year, which is 57% more than the expected spending of $243 per user in 2017.
What to keep in mind?
More online shoppers means more potential customers for businesses with online channels. Understanding the trends of what, when and where these customers buy is essential to capturing more of them going online.
Thais have more money to spend on shopping as Thailand has the third highest GDP per capita in the region after Singapore and Malaysia.
More companies in Thailand are seeing the benefits of an omni-channel strategy such as Zara, Uniqlo, Adidas who have invested in their own brand.com in addition to offline stores.
The tech-savvy generation (16-34 year olds) is accustomed to online shopping both on social media, e-marketplaces/brand.com.
Spending power will continue to rise and two-thirds of consumption growth in the period to 2030 will come from increasing per capita spending.
Research reports, tools such as Google's Consumer Barometer and eIQ articles provide useful insights on Thailand's online shoppers' behavior and trends.

3. Recommended Reading: 'People aren't spending': stores close doors in 'oversaturated' US retail market
This week, Credit Suisse downgraded the retail sector, saying the outlook had become bleaker than it had anticipated in large part because of events in Washington. Other analysts have shown similar pessimism.
"The US market is oversaturated with retail space and far too much of that space is occupied by stores selling apparel," said Richard Hayne, CEO of Urban Outfitters, anticipating that retail retrenchment would continue "for the foreseeable future and may even accelerate."
While retail executives are keen to state they do not plan to abandon bricks-and-mortar retail entirely, many now tend to see it on equal terms with online operations. Streets are hollowed out by web-based competition, and is increasingly viewed as a tool to be used by consumers"showrooming" – browsing – before buying online for less.

Amazon says that Alexa's Prime Now implementation will let you order multiple items at once and make recommendations whilst automatically give you the next available two-hour delivery window.
These two newest features are also a mark of how Amazon is giving Alexa a front and center place as a key interface between Amazon itself and its customers.

Rags – Review by Tom Holehan
It opened on Broadway in 1986 and, after dismal reviews, ran a total of 18 previews and four performances. It was "Rags" and featured a score with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked") and music by Charles Strouse ("Annie") with a company of actors that included Judy Kuhn, Larry Kert and Lonny Price. It was directed by Gene Saks with choreography by Ron Field. Lots of talent was evident onstage and off for "Rags", a musical about Ellis Island immigrants, and it still failed. Now this troubled musical has been given new life with a revised and streamlined book by David Thompson and direction by Rob Ruggiero. Goodspeed Musicals in East Haddam is the place where the new "Rags" is now singing and it's nice to report that it is in very good voice.
Based on the original book by Joseph Stein, "Rags" has apparently narrowed its focus in the storytelling as compared with the 1986 original whose large cast resulted in multiple stories and confusion. With Thompson's revised book, the musical now concentrates on Jewish single mother Rebecca (Samantha Massell), her son, David (Christian Michael Camporin) and Bella (Sara Kapner), a fellow immigrant Rebecca met on the voyage and whose family on New York's Lower East Side agrees to take them in. As Rebecca's gifts as a dressmaker rise, she is pursued by two men: Sal (Sean MacLaughlin), an Italian labor leader who lives downstairs and Max (David Harris), an upwardly mobile businessman anxious to exploit Rebecca's talents.
There's not a whole lot of originality in "Rags" which recalls both "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Ragtime" but never reaches the heights of those acclaimed musicals. It follows a fairly predictable course and can seem preachy about its immigration themes at times. Still, at Goodspeed, director Rob Ruggiero has led a superb company of actors over the bumps delivering emotional and heartfelt entertainment that now seems even timelier.
Massell is a lovely heroine whose onstage relationship with young Camporin is both practical and warmly maternal. She also sings the musical's best songs ("Children of the Wind", "Rags") with melodic brilliance. Kapner lends able support as the ill-fated Bella while MacLaughlin exudes masculine charisma and impressive vocal chops as a potential love interest for Rebecca. In other roles Adam Heller (wonderful as Tevye in Goodspeed's previous "Fiddler on the Roof") and Lori Wilner are a delight as an older couple finding romance in times of duress.
Michael Schweikardt's scenery doesn't always seem easy for the cast to navigate, but Linda Cho's costuming works just fine as does John Lasiter's lighting. It all contributes, under Mr. Ruggiero's sympathetic direction, to a rousing, inspirational finale that will not be spoiled here. Suffice it to say, it speaks to this country's immigration conversation and should be required viewing for the current resident of the White House.
"Rags" continues at Goodspeed Musicals through December 10. For further information or ticket reservations call the theatre box office at 860.873.8668 or visit: www.goodspeed.org.

Uganda has only 16 dental specialists – Report
August 5, 2019 News, Sports & Health 3
Kampala, Uganda | URN | There are only 16 dental specialists in the country, according to a new report on the status of the health workforce by the Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council (UMDPC). These are part of the 4,563 medical practitioners that renewed their licenses last year.
Dr. Katumba Ssentongo, the Registrar Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council, says there is need for the Health and Education Ministries to prioritize the training of dentistry at both the under graduate and post graduate levels in order to provide quality dental services in the country.
He notes that the cumulative number of Dental Surgeons in the country is still low at 286 licensed practitioners by June 2018. This translates into the ratio of 1: 139,860 (1 Dental Surgeon for every 139,860 people).
In terms of percentages of the registered dental practitioners, none has specialized in prosthodontics (specialists on artificial replacements for teeth), only 1 per cent have specialized orthodontics and restorative dentistry whereas 3 per cent have specialized in oral maxillofacial surgery.
The majority at 95 per cent have specialized in general dental surgery. Overall, 353 new practitioners were registered at the Council from July 2017 to June 2018 bringing the cumulative number of dental and medical practitioners to 6193, to date.

At least 74 per cent of these renewed their licenses. This means that 26 per cent have either left the profession , are practicing without a license or not in active practice.
While some doctors sought letters of good standing to seek employment abroad, Dr. Katumba said more practitioners from the West come to Uganda, adding the majority standing at 44 per cent were from the United States.
However, according to Katumba their findings that more than 300 doctors qualify to practice annually should alert the government on the increasing need for placement and unemployment. He says it's now clear that they all can't be absorbed in public health facilities.

Norbert Gosieniecki SVD (ur. 7 czerwca 1920 w Dusocinie, zm. 30 grudnia 1940 w Mauthausen-Gusen) – polski kleryk katolicki, Sługa Boży Kościoła katolickiego.

Pochodził z wielodzietnej rodziny Franciszka i Zofii z domu Bialik. 10 czerwca 1920 roku został ochrzczony, a do Pierwszej Komunii Świętej przystąpił 26 sierpnia 1928.

Od 1930 roku uczęszczał do gimnazjum, a potem do liceum w Górnej Grupie. Nowicjat rozpoczął 5 września 1939 roku w Domu Misyjnym św. Stanisława Kostki Zgromadzenia Słowa Bożego w Chludowie. Po wybuchu II wojny światowej, na rozkaz władz gminy ewakuował się, ale po agresji Związku Socjalistycznych Republik Radzieckich na Polskę powrócił do Chludowa i 19 października odbył obłóczyny. Niemcy, 25 stycznia 1940 internowali wszystkich przebywających w Domu Misyjnym duchownych i utworzyli obóz przejściowy dla zakonników i księży z okolicy. 19 maja złożył w trybie przyśpieszonym pierwsze śluby zakonne. Po aresztowaniu, które nastąpiło 22 maja 1940 roku przewieziony został do Fortu VII w Poznaniu, później do niemieckiego obozu koncentracyjnego Dachau (KL) i zarejestrowany został pod numerem 11455. Od 2 sierpnia 1940 przebywał w obozie Mauthausen-Gusen (zarejestrowany pod numerem 6224).

W nocy 29 na 30 grudnia, chorego i wyczerpanego ciężką pracą fizyczną Norberta Gosienieckiego, z polecenia kapo polano zimną wodą i pozostawiono w przedsionku, gdzie zamarzł.

Aresztowany i prześladowany ze względu na stan duchowny uznany jest za męczennika za wiarę i jest jednym z 122 Sług Bożych, wobec których 17 września 2003 roku rozpoczął się proces beatyfikacyjny drugiej grupy męczenników z okresu II wojny światowej. 23 kwietnia 2008 roku zamknięto w Misyjnym Seminarium Duchownym Księży Werbistów w Pieniężnie proces rogatoryjny (diecezjalny etap procesu beatyfikacyjnego).

John Ervin is a freelance writer involved for the past ten years with investigations of electronic voting fraud and its derivatives, and on occasion several of the other highly organized corporatic crimes. He has been the radio guest of Jim Hogue at www.wgdr.org, Goddard College in Vermont (one of Pacifica Radio's 200 affiliates). [While a longtime member of the American Federation of Musicians (local 4) he has performed as a concert pianist. He has also served as member of the Cleveland Orchestra's choruses, in live performances at Severance Hall and Blossom Music Festival, as well as those recorded in group performances for EMI in England, and broadcasts for the BBC, and WCLV in Cleveland, some highlighted by North American terrestrial radio transmissions, and the whole distributed world-wide on the internet by WCLV. The chorale CD in Great Britain for EMI was nominated for a Grammy.] During and after the Bush v. Gore fiasco, he became by degrees an accidental journalist as he began to study in greater depth the activities and rise of America's secret government, much of its CIA founding years with intersticed and substantive roots in Nazism, and the heavy-handed influence of the American intelligence communities in disrupting or re-directing many of our democratic processes and institutions. This research has served as a resilient motivation to share historical facts and questions surrounding the hidden and deeper politics that contribute to the long-standing and ongoing deformation of our society as a whole, and also in tragic personal accounts of many. For over ten years Ervin has been an advocate for the heightened and more coordinated alliance of independent media throughout the world ~low power radio broadcasters, community radio programmers and volunteers, independent film makers, indy musicians and journalists, et al.~ to form and maintain a clearing-house of information that in assessment of intel risks bears upon the security of communities world-wide, a global "neighborhood watch", a sure defense against our common antagonist: top-down, privatized governmental intelligence, chief among them: American. Ervin continues to lobby for the establishment of a parallel "intelligence analysis in exile" ~ one that can become a far more faithful mirror of what CIA was originally intended to be: strictly a non-operational intelligence-gatherer. But evolved by us as a grass-roots creation and built for the safety of all our peoples.

Civil Liberty Alert: Listener-Funded Pacifica Radio Under Siege In N.Y. And D.C. When it comes to dissidence and democracy, nobody does it better than KPFK, KPFA, WBAI and their sister stations in DC and Houston, and more than a hundred eighty affiliates. And so it should come as no surprise that for the past three years, there has been an intense putsch and ongoing coup to loosen up and appropriate Pacifica's licenses, and hence to drive it off our cultural and political landscape.

Any true review of "Recount" at HBO must be subtitled "Look Back in Anger" I rifled through the paper for a half hour,to see where the infamous lines might have alighted,"No Democratic observers were present,"but the phrase had disappeared into some wormwhole, of which there were many,and counting, as we all endured the death of our democracy."Two Party System" has become, merely~~and in a unique historical way,simply~~code among those who know, and any who are ready for more than the fairy tale

My two cents on electronic voting machines Bottom line: machines have got to go.There is simply no way ever to make peace with this Trojan Horse at our gates, let alone continue to give it free entry in and out of our society, in fact, any of our global societies. We need once and for all to abolish all vote-counting and tabulating and vote-casting machines, in all their sordid combinations, and world-wide.

Atlantic City, NJ Electric Train Wreck, Oct 1906 - Cars Leap Bridge
CARS LEAP BRIDGE - MANY DEAD
Twenty Injured in Wreck Near Atlantic City on New Electric Pennsylvania Railroad Line.
PASSENGERS HELD IN TRAP DROWN
Train Runs Along Trestle, Then Plunges Into Twenty Feet of Water - Rescue Almost Impossible.
Atlantic City, N. J. -- Fifty lives were blotted out in an instant here when two coaches from Camden on the new electric line jumped from the trestle bridge over the Thoroughfare and sank in mud in twenty feet of water. The passengers were caught like rats in a trap, and only four men in the two cars succeeded in saving their lives. They burst windows with their hands, and forcing their bodies through the openings came to the surface after the cars had been immersed almost a minute.
The line is known as the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, but it is the property of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Electricity was substituted for steam only a month ago, and the third rail is used. The run from Camden to this city is made in an hour and a half, and the train was on time.
The most horrible sight of the appalling disaster was that of the third coach which completed the train and which was held suspended for thirty seconds by a projecting beam in the bridge. The coach was tipped on end, and after thirty passengers had escaped the car dropped, and falling in a mud bank was not covered by the water. Several persons were caught in the coach and were drowned. Their cries were heart-breaking. A rescuer, jumping on the roof, caught a woman's wrist through a ventilator and held it until the rising tide claimed her life. When the coach went into the water a fat man was stuck in one of the windows. He was filled with hope when he found that his head was above water. Presently, however, he discovered that the tide was rising, and he made desperate struggles to gain liberty and life. Two men on the roof pulled his arms in vain, and all his striving was useless. He grew crazed with despair, and threshing the water with his arms prayed and cursed alternately until the tide swept over him. His body was cut out an hour later. His struggles were so terrible that the flesh on his sides was torn away by contact with the window frame.
Coroner GASKILL, after inspecting the bridge, said that what he found indicates, he thinks, criminal negligence on the part of the corporation or its employees. The tracks on the drawbridge are higher than those on the trestle, and the condition of the ends of the rails on the draw show that this condition has existed right along, and that the ends of the rails have been battered by the wheels striking them. Another thing, there were no guard rails along the tracks on the bridge. The Coroner is convinced that had there been such guards or even an iron railing along the side of the bridge all the cars would not have gone into the water. One car hitting the guard railing might have gone through, but the resistence[sic] would have been enough, he thinks, to have stopped the second car and, as a result, the third.
The train went over as a result of the spreading of the rails. But after leaving the tracks it traveled for 100 yards along the trestle work, and it is believed that WALTER SCOTT, the motorman, must have become unnerved, as he had sufficient time to set the brakes and bring the train to a stop. He went down with his train, however, and the truth never will be known. The tracks were examined only a few days ago, and it was thought they were safe.
The Thoroughfare trestle is one mile long, with a drawbridge in the middle. The drawbridge had been open just before the train ran out on the bridge. A yacht passed through the draw. SCOTT slowed down as he approached the structure. A signal was set against him, and he had almost brought the train to a stop, when the draw was dropped back into position, and he got the signal of a clear track. He turned on the power, and the train gathered momentum. The speed at the time the cars went from the rails was about ten miles an hour.
The first car was the first to leave the track. Engineers report that the rails appear to have spread under it. The other two coaches were dragged from the rails and the train went running along the wooden floor of the structure. Several times the cars were kept from going over the side by a heavy iron guard rail. There were a dozen men crossing the bridge on foot, and they said that at the moment the coaches left the tracks that the passengers began to shout in terror. The passengers were seen leaving their seats and crowding toward the doors. Before any of them could get out, however, the two coaches went into the water and instantly sank from sight.
The coaches went over at one end of the drawbridge. There was no protecting guard rail here, and the first coach shot clean out from the bridge and struck the water with its wheels spinning. The second coach was almost perpendicular for a few seconds, when the rear end slipped from the bridge, the car sinking flat in the mud like the first. The coupling of the third car was broken, and it turned almost at right angles to the bridge before it fell. It was the decreasing weight, as the passengers fought their way through the rear door, that finally sent the coach into the water.

Christmas is a time for giving and receiving – and whilst gift giving comes with the best of intentions, not everyone gets it right. Every year, British households are inundated with presents that may be unwanted and often go unused. However, once the excitement of the festive season has come to an end, there are ways you can re-home your presents without offending friends and family.
As a customer you are not automatically within your rights to return unwanted goods – unless they are faulty or damaged. However, many shops have flexible return policies, particularly around the Christmas period. Provided goods are in their original state, stores may offer either a full refund or credit to spend in store. You have a much greater chance of a full refund if you have a receipt; however, you may still be eligible for some kind of refund in some stores without one, but only for exchange or the current value of the goods.
If getting a refund is not an option you may like to consider saving the gift to give to someone else. Whilst this may not sound like a great money maker, it could save you from spending more money on birthday presents this year or next Christmas. Just be careful to keep a note of who gave you what, to avoid returning someone's original gift to them!
If you haven't already got an Ebay account you will need to sign up by visiting ebay.co.uk and following the link to "creating a seller's account" and following the steps. You can sell your items at a fixed price or in an auction style, whereby the highest bidder gets the goods. It's important to be realistic when pricing items, try searching for similar items to get an idea of what things are worth.
You will benefit from making your page as clear and descriptive as possible, ensuring you upload good quality pictures which make the item you are selling look appealing.
Amazon is great place to sell books and DVDs, but also allows you to flog clothes, electricals and other household goods. The website is simple and easy to use, and you can expect to be charged a fixed fee of 86p per completed sale, plus a percentage of the sale price ranging from 11.5% to 17.25%, depending on the item.
Gumtree is a website for posting classified adverts and works by grouping these ads into one of 60 cities. This means that you can search for items and services local to you, and also means that there are no online payments as you will usually have to meet the buyer in person to exchange. Gumtree may be more suited to those wanting to buy and sell furniture and larger items, rather than selling those smaller gifts which are more likely to get noticed and snapped up on an auction site.
