Raquel Calderón Argandoña (born 14 February 1991), better known as Kel Calderón, is a Chilean actress, singer and lawyer. She became known at a very early age for being a daughter of the television star Raquel Argandoña de la Fuente and the attorney Hernán Calderón Salinas. Raquel began her acting career in 2006, in the television series Karkú. The band Six Pack, created by the series, gave start to her musical career. She went solo in 2008, releasing 3 singles and an album under the stage name Kel. Also, in February 2008, Raquel Calderón was crowned Miss Teen Chile 2008.

Professional career

Television
Calderón began her career as an actress in the teen miniseries of TVN called Karkú. The series was released on 5 February 2007, and lasted some months.

As did most teen and pre-teen series on the Chilean television, Karkú also created a musical group, with the series' actors as members. The group was called Six Pack. They recorded a disc that was released in 2007. In spite of the fact that the group did not have a main vocalist, Calderón made herself the main member attracting most attention. Six Pack debuted on stage on 21 July 2007, receiving mixed reviews.

Due to the group's success, Calderón's recording company started preparing a solo career for her. She began taking singing and guitar classes with the Uruguayan singer and musician Gonzalo Yáñez.

At the end of the year, her producing company My Friend obtained a contract with the television channel Canal 13 for a new juvenile teleseries called Antonia. The contract with a rival network displeased TVN.

On 2 January 2008, conflicts between Raquel, her father Hernán Calderón, and the My Friend Entertainment producing company resulted in an abrupt termination of her contract. Her participation in Karkú, Six Pack and Antonia was cancelled.

In 2017, she was working on the program of "maldita moda".

Music
Calderón announced that she would begin a solo career as a singer under the stage name Kel, with Gonzalo Yáñez as her producer. On 14 January 2011, Calderón filmed her first solo music video for her first solo single, "Tenerte Cerca", in a Santiago mall. The video was directed by Esteban Vidal. Radio stations started to rotate the song a few days prior.

In February 2008, Calderón was crowned Miss Teen Chile 2008.

On 16 March 2008, Calderón was an opening act for Belinda at her Movistar Arena (then Arena Santiago) concert. She sang six tracks from her album.

On 3 July 2008, Calderón released her first solo album, No Molestar!. The album was produced by Gonzalo Yáñez and released via Feria Music Records. No Molestar! was announced during the Viña del Mar International Song Festival but was delayed due to some setbacks.

Punks incident
At the release of her first disc No Molestar!, Chilean punks gathered outside the record shop in Santiago where Calderón was going to release the album. The punks gathered to protest and express their disapproval of Calderón's song "Me Creo Punky" ("I believe I'm a punk"), a pop song whose music video features Calderón and other people dressed and behaving like punk stereotypes. The punks threw objects from the street into the music store and police had to be called to the place. Despite the police action, the release event had to be cancelled. Calderón later declared she was not scared by the punks.

University
As of 2011, Calderón is a law student. She entered the Faculty of Law of the University of Chile in 2010.

One of the biggest frustrations to me and journalists the world over is that people too often treat our work as just another diversion, something that can be tuned into or tuned out of as easily as the last episode of "Survivor" or the latest Lions game.
At least, it isn't just entertainment.
Hopefully, all of our stories are well-written in an engaging way, so you enjoy reading while being informed. And newspapers, as chroniclers of history-in-the-making, cover the fun things, too. The News, for example, has recently covered the charming story of a runaway dog brought home from Rogers City, given a rollicking review to a rollicking performance at the community theater, and detailed the cute-kids-athon that is the Optimist Club's annual Spring Break Family Fun Day.
But most of our ink is dedicated to serious, real-life stuff with serious, real-life consequences.
Still, too many people — in society, in my own family, even in newsrooms in which I've worked — treat politics like it's just another hobby, equal to woodworking or professional tennis or muscle cars.
"I'm not into politics," they'll say, as if it's all just a channel they can turn off.
They do so at their own peril.
Newspapers cover politics because politicians are the men and women who have control over how much of your paycheck you get to keep, the safety of the food you eat, the quality of the schools where you send your children, the police who patrol your neighborhoods, the nuclear weapons not flying over your head.
In recent weeks, The Alpena News has carried Associated Press stories on the findings of a criminal investigation into the president of the United States, Congress' debate with the executive branch over sanctions for a hostile nuclear power, a rash of suicides claiming the lives of people affected by uniquely American gun violence, and much, much more.
And local news is even more consequential. Or at least more immediately consequential.
In recent weeks, the front page of The Alpena News has carried stories on police liaison officers who protect our students (and cost taxpayers money), faltering health statistics in Northeast Michigan, environmental cleanup efforts in Alcona County, taxpayer-funded pay hikes in Alpena Township, and a profile of the undercover agency working to combat drugs in our neighborhoods.
That's not reality TV. Any one of those issues, local or national, could come squatting on your doorstep at any moment, costing you money or your freedom or even your life.
Reporters, especially political journalists at the national level, sometimes cause some of that disconnect themselves. They cover White House palace intrigue as if it were the latest episode of "Days of Our Lives" and write about presidential campaigns as if they were a horse race on ESPN 2.
They do so, I think, because they're trapped in a Washington bubble, writing about rumors and mini-scandals because that's the talk on the cocktail circuit in the District.
They need to get out into the countryside more often.
And they often seem to forget the most important of the "five W's": Why?
As in, why is this worth writing about, in the grander scheme of things? Why does this matter to a journalist's ultimate mission of making government work better for the governed?
There are legitimate answers to those questions even in some of the palace intrigue and horse-race coverage. A presidential contest is a grueling endeavor, for example, that requires thick skin, endurance, smart strategizing, and the ability to pick the best minds to act as your advisers. Campaign performance can be a pretty good test of how well a candidate might act in office.
If a candidate falls behind in the polls because, say, he forgot one of his key campaign platforms in the midst of a debate, one has to wonder if that candidate would fall apart under the intense, hair-graying pressure of the White House. If a candidate finds himself batting down scandal after scandal among his campaign staff, one has to wonder if he would fill West Wing offices with folks who would grift the public coffers.
Still, we as readers and a democratic populace have our own responsibilities, chief of which is remembering that changing the channel or ignoring the newspaper doesn't make the issues go away.

The Crown season 5: what music to expect, and everything we know so far
29 September 2021, 11:14 | Updated: 29 September 2021, 11:34
The Crown Season 5. Picture: Twitter / @TheCrownNetflix
By Sian Moore
The Crown will return to screens for a fifth instalment of the hugely successful historical drama next year.
Olivia Colman has passed on the orb and sceptre to her on-screen successor, Imelda Staunton, who will play Queen Elizabeth II in the final two instalments of The Crown.
Alongside the monarch, Elizabeth Debicki will portray Princess Diana, with Dominic West as Prince Charles, in the season five premiere next year.
We left the fourth series at Christmas 1990, and it's likely the new season will continue to follow the relationship between Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Little has been revealed about the fifth instalment of Netflix's award-winning historical drama, but here's everything we do know so far, including some speculation on the upcoming soundtrack...
Read more: Queen Elizabeth II plays piano, sang madrigals at Windsor, and has two honorary music degrees
What music will be in The Crown season 5?
Netflix has kept most details of the upcoming series under wraps.
So far, the streaming giant has only shared a brief message from our latest on-screen Queen Elizabeth II in a lavish, regal setting. Predecessors Claire Foy and Colman make a cameo in the shot, too.
But there's no musical accompaniment to the short clip to whet our appetites, unfortunately.
Read more: Emma Corrin sings 'All I Ask of You' in poignant deleted scene from The Crown

However, looking back at previous seasons gives us some idea of what we might hear in the latest soundtrack.
We can be sure that German film composer Hans Zimmer's majestic theme will accompany the opening titles, with its unmistakeably grand organ and tense, tremolo strings.
But for the moment, Netflix hasn't revealed who will be working on the new music.
The series has had three different composers over the years; British composer Rupert Gregson-Williams penned the score for season one, and later, season two alongside Scottish composer Lorne Balfe. British composer Martin Phipps worked on the two most recent series.
Read more: Yes, Princess Diana really danced to Uptown Girl as seen in The Crown. She also played piano.
There's a good chance that Phipps has been enlisted to compose season five's soundtrack, bringing back the dignified and suspenseful soundworld we've heard in earlier series.
One thing that does seem likely to make a reappearance is the combination of music from classical composers and contemporary pop stars.
You might remember that in The Crown season four, Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and music from Verdi's La traviata were featured alongside hits from Stevie Nicks and Elton John.
When will The Crown season 5 be released?
The latest instalment of The Crown is scheduled to premiere in November 2022.
An exact date hasn't be announced yet.

Who is the cast of The Crown season 5?
Imelda Staunton will play the Queen with Jonathan Pryce playing her on-screen husband, Prince Philip.
Elizabeth Debicki becomes the Princess of Wales, and Dominic West is Prince Charles.
Camilla Parker Bowles will be portrayed by Olivia Williams, and Jonny Lee Miller takes on the role of former prime minister John Major.
The Crown season 5 is scheduled for release in November 2022.

Cybersecurity firm subleases a third of its downtown HQ
Thomas Gounley October 14, 2021 0
The 40-story tower at 1144 15th St. (BusinessDen file)
The Optiv building now has a little less Optiv.
The Denver-based cybersecurity firm, whose signage adorns the top of the 1144 15th St. office tower, has subleased one of its three floors in the building to PNC Bank.
The bank took the 28th floor, which is 24,650 square feet, according to Colliers broker Matt Ball. He and colleague Chris Wiley represented Optiv in the deal. Duncan Heitman of JLL represented PNC.
Optiv still has the 29th and 30th floors of the 40-story structure developed by Houston-based Hines. The company was the first to sign a lease at the building in 2016. The space serves as Optiv's headquarters.
PNC isn't a stranger to 1144 Fifteenth; it already leased space elsewhere in the building.
Pittsburgh-based PNC opened its first retail branch in Denver in the spring. PNC also acquired Alabama-based bank BBVA in June, and said this week that all BBVA locations in Colorado have been rebranded as PNC. The company declined to comment on the sublease.
Other tenants at 1144 Fifteenth include Bank of America, Gates Corp. and six law firms.
PNC Bank will take the 28th floor, but Denver-based Optiv will still occupy the 29th and 30th floors at 1144 15th St.

I currently am on the 10240 build on my brand new ThinkPad, which I toyed with (I installed and reinstalled Ubuntu, Windows 7 x64, Windows 8.1 x32 and back to Windows 7 x64 twice) so I assume the process is quite different in mom's case.
On a Windows computer, one can check if Java is installed by doing the following steps. Run Appwiz.cpl from Run window. This will open ' Add or remove programs ' wizard.


This article will be very informative for any company that is considering the purchase of an MT4 Server license and consequently, planning the budget. I will cover topics that include the initial set-up process as well as pricing. This is a personal assessment and not necessarily the opinions of Fortex.
Please note that if you already have a MT4 license, you can use your MQ forum login and find all relevant information there. Everything other than pricing is covered on the corporate site in a very detailed and easy to read format.
The MT4 License package comes with 3 license files for LIVE, DEMO and the Test servers.
The best source for the installation instructions and guidelines is the MQ support forum (you will receive your login credentials after the purchase is completed).
Based on my experience, knowledgeable IT person should be utilized to perform the installation and all IT related work. Since the platform will be the core of your business, you really must assure that it is set up correctly. Furthermore, if you are planning to run your own MT4 server, you should consider having at least one IT person available on site. Ideally, you should have someone watching the server 24/7.
Please follow the suggestions and recommendations of the platform developers – no one other than developers will advise you better. If MQ advises that you host your LIVE server on a physical machine, consider this as good advice! I've personally seen many brokers experience difficulties by hosting their LIVE servers on Virtual Machines. You can certainly save money in the short term by using the cloud network. However, you may end up losing more money by doing so in the long term. The Cloud hosting will only work and be beneficial if your server is not processing many trades. Otherwise, please strongly consider utilizing a physical machine.
It would also be wise to have your back-up server hosted in a different datacenter for redundancy purposes. You may even consider hosting it in a different country or on an entirely different continent. Once that's been accomplished, it would be important to locate more datacenters and install additional proxy-servers/MT4 Access Points/MT4 Datacenter Applications (global access points for better connectivity).
Let's keep these thoughts going and summarize…..
2) Another machine in preferably different Datacenter for the BACK UP server (MetaQuotes provides Watchdog application that will copy all your data from main MT4 server to the backup in real time).
3) Two to three additional datacenters for the Proxies/MT4 Datacenter applications (virtual machines) – (You may end up needing more datacenters as it is purely based on your client's geography).
Everything that we have discussed may sound complicated.
For the newcomer, it is indeed complicated. As you are getting more and more involved and experienced, you will learn more and will eventually become familiar with all of the terms, definitions and the overall lingo. I hope that the steps outlined above will help you build a solid infrastructure for your soon-to-be blooming business.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this blog post – which will cover the process of selecting the right datacenter/service provider and some of the costs involved.


Scott Prince and Robbie Katter with match organiser Craig Teevan.
One of Mount Isa's favourite rugby league sons will return to his home city with some other legends of the game next month.
Scott Prince will join former greats like Matt Bowen, John Hopoate and Willie Tonga in the International Legends of League charity match at Alec Inch Oval on May 18.
Adding to the local flavour, Prince will play for a star-studded Mount Isa Allstars team which will be coached by former Foley Shield stars Frank and Vern Daisy.
Prince and his teammates, including MP Robbie Katter and councillor Mick Tully, will take on an Australian Legends team featuring Bowen, Hopoate, Tonga, Kerry Boustead, Terry Matterson, Nathan Blacklock and Kevin Campion.
Match organiser Craig Teevan said Prince was delighted at the opportunity to play in the city where he first pulled on a pair of footy boots.
"He has been into me a fair bit over the past 18 months about having this game in Mount Isa," Teevan said.
"Every time we would get together for an event he would be saying to me, 'so are we going to do the next one in Mount Isa?'.
Teevan is also thrilled that the Daisy brothers have agreed to coach the Mount Isa team.
"They are absolute legends of the game in the Mount Isa region," Teevan said.
"We put some photos up on our Facebook page of the launch in Mount Isa recently and the photo of Frank and Vern together probably received the most likes of any that we have put up for any of the games we have done.
Teevan said the wonderful thing about events like the International Legends of League match was how former players embraced what they meant to the local community.
"We definitely don't have to do much arm twisting to get players involved," he said.
The big day of rugby league on May 18 will also include junior and women's matches and all proceeds from food and beverage sales go back to the community.

...a dream, which lives through song and dance...
DJ I MUSIC PRODUCER
RECENTLY FEATURED IN
I developed a certain vision toward music while growing up in Aledo, Texas. Being part of a family of musicians, I discovered my passion for music early on. My parents collected an extensive vinyl library, and speaker/audio player collection. This only made sense with my mom, Alex, previously having worked for a radio station, and my dad, Paul, being an audio and electrical engineering wizard. I gained an appreciation for classical music and classic rock listening to their records. I began my own musicianship in piano as a kid with my brother Wesley, then moved on to orchestra and jazz band, learning to play trumpet and guitar throughout high school. I got into a lot of 80's-2000's pop, hip hop, and alternative rock. When I was 16, I became interested in electronic dance music. My most significant early influences included ATB, Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Eric Prydz, Basshunter, Daft Punk, and the composers of my favorite game soundtracks. I took the effort to learn basic music production.
Considering myself not much more than a jack of musical trades at that point, and continuing my studies, I shifted my focus to an accounting career while in college at Texas Tech. Several years ago I cut the knot to get into the professional side of the music industry, as I realized that during my great career as a CPA and Audit Senior Manager at Whitley Penn LLP, I had both the time and resources necessary to pursue my passion once again. I discovered my own sound and began producing and releasing music as "DCPA" (Danny the Certified Public Accountant). From 2016 through the end of 2019 I've produced over 20 original tracks, and played in several different venues. I also DJ for private events like weddings, company parties and birthdays.
DCPA demonstrates a transcendent approach to modern electronic dance music and draws influences from industry underdogs as well as mainstage festival headliners mostly in the genres of trance, progressive house, nu disco, and indie-alternative. Through DCPA, I would like to offer a unique lens for exploring music and inspire others by showing that one does not always have to follow the beaten path. My artistic contribution to DCPA is in track composition and production, and the album art and vocal contributions are all mostly collaborative, and at my direction. I believe that most goals are best achieved through collaboration. In music, it's a way to build on and to create the best possible version of your ideas for others to enjoy, and can grow you exponentially as an artist.

Milburn Russell "Tiny" Croft (November 7, 1920 – January 22, 1977) was an American football offensive tackle in the National Football League for the Green Bay Packers. He played college football at Ripon College and the University of Alabama. Croft was drafted in the 20th round of the 1942 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins.
The 1942 National Football League Draft was held on December 22, 1941, at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago.
This is a list of the Washington Redskins NFL Draft selections. The Washington Redskins franchise was founded as the Boston Braves, named after the local baseball franchise. The team changed their name to the Redskins in 1933 and moved to Washington, D.C. in 1937.Every year during April, each NFL franchise seeks to add new players to its roster through a collegiate draft known as the "NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", which is more commonly known as the NFL Draft. Teams are ranked in inverse order based on the previous season's record, with the worst record picking first, and the second worst picking second and so on. The two exceptions to this order are made for teams that appeared in the previous Super Bowl; the Super Bowl champion always picks 32nd, and the Super Bowl loser always picks 31st. Teams have the option of trading away their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or a combination thereof. Thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades.The Boston Redskins were one of the nine original franchises that participated in the 1936 NFL Draft, which was the first official draft of the National Football League. The first player ever selected in the draft, Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger, chose not to play professional football. Riley Smith, taken second overall by the Redskins, holds the distinction of being the first drafted player to play in the NFL. The Redskins also hold the distinction of being the only team to draft the same player in two different drafts, Cal Rossi.


Do you think Pharrell should not have worn a Native American head-dress on cover of Elle UK? We don't.
Although this sparked understandable and respectable outrage from communities and commentators alike, resulting in a sincere apology by the cultural icon, we believe this new controversy shows society has figured fashion out all wrong.
"Urgh. Why does the fashion industry insist on turning sacred cultural items into fashion props? #NOTHappy @ELLEUK" – says @OnceAPARNATime.
Cultural appropriation seems to be the problem, as highlighted Refinery29. But the real question is where is the line to draw for offensiveness?
We believe blackfaceing a model is a mistake, but criticizing a graphic and photographic fashion job made with respect (at least benefit of that doubt can be given to the team in charge, right?) seems way over-crying. Why did fashion teams like this one chose this item? Because it bears positive symbols, it also has impeccable visual style and it may remind us that some cultures should not be lost in contemporary moments.
This cover is beautiful. It has character. It does not depict a community in any negative way. Let's stop underestimating the fashion industry's capacity to curate cultures. Fashion is not a superficial discipline, whatever twitter might say.
It's not about whether it looks good or not, or whether it is meant to celebrate the culture or not. It's about the fact that he hasn't earned the right to wear that headdress. "Native American headdress" is in itself an offensive term. Each tribe is it's own nation of people with distinct cultural practices, language, and history. Please do not lump various cultures into one homogenous term. Back to the headdress, wearing one in this manner is offensive because it is sacred and completely disregards the cultural practices that allows one to wear it. Headdresses of this nature are earned, feather by feather, through acts of bravery. Each eagle feather tells a story, and is awarded to the wearer to show courage and honour. These headdresses are worn by chiefs and warriors and not anyone in the tribe can just start wearing one. I repeat, they must be EARNED. Therefore, to see it become a fashion statement, worn by people who have not only not earned their feathers and the right to wear a headdress but not even know the significance of what putting one of these on means, is disrespectful. I'm sure it is not intended as disrespect, but saying "well we are trying to celebrate your culture not mock it so its okay" is not for you to decide. Someone in blackface is offensive because it makes a cartoon out of a race of people and undermines their history of oppression. In the same way, someone cultural appropriating a headdress is offensive because it simplifies and promotes stereotypes of Cree, Navajo, Mohawk, Lakota, and the many other tribes you unceremoniously lumped into the "Native American" category. To you this may look like a positive symbol meant to honour and curate culture; however, to many it is a reminder of the one dimensional way in which "Native American" culture is consistently portrayed and viewed.
Hello, thank you for an educated comment.
That raises very interesting questions and we are happy to address them as you bring them up.
We would be interested to learn then how the shooting team got hold of a headdress. It would be a shame that it was purely "counterfeit" indeed.
Besides, we think it's way more interesting and respectable that someone like you tells the audience about this "earning"/"deserving" process. We do admit that we did not have knowledge of that, as fashion/society blogger but are willing to learn and spread around!
Thank you for your comment again, it encourages us in digging further into these cultures (mind the plural now).

The History of Yugoslavia: Srebrenica and the Ratko Mladić Verdict
Bosnia itself is a divided creature barely on political life support. Rather than promoting reconciliation, one of the proclaimed aims of the ICTY's judgments, the opposite is true.

The prophet Cassandra's curse was that when she told the future, no one listened; history's curse is that when it tells the past, no one does.The West has no shortage of charges it hurls against Russia, but most of them can be grouped into one of three categories: that Russia intervened in the American elections, that Russia is dragging the world into a new cold war, and that Russia is becoming increasingly aggressive and expansionist.

Manipulation: The US State Department's New Program to Take On Hungarian Media
Hypocrisy may be the only consistent guiding principle of US foreign policy. Here's a prime example of the "do as we say, not as we do" that is the core of how Washington does business overseas: In the same week that the the US Justice Department demanded that the Russian-backed RT America network register as a foreign propaganda entity or face arrest, the US State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DNL) has announced that it is launching a program to massively interfere in NATO-partner Hungary's internal media.So the US Justice Department is cracking down on RT America for what ...
In the article "Kurdistan – Turkey's Kosovo" Prof. Sotirović compared different aspects of Turkish Kurdistan case to the Kosovo one, found some parallels and pointed out Turkey's hypocrisy.While Prof. Sotirović is right in his assessment that Turkey is hypocritical to say at least, he failed to expose the fundamental differences between Kurdistan and Kosovo. His article contains some inaccuracies, misinterpretations and lacks in detail. Such an imprecise comparison may lead a reader who is not familiar with Balkans to acquire a false impression. A reader might come to conclusion that Kosovo Albanians had experienced the same level of suffering and ...
Ukraine Honors Nationalists Whose Troops Butchered Jews
Amid a divisive debate in Ukraine on state honors for nationalists viewed as responsible for anti-Semitic pogroms, the country for the first time observed a minute of silence in memory of Symon Petliura, a 1920s statesman blamed for the murder of 50,000 Jewish compatriots.The minute was observed on May 25, the 90th anniversary of Petliura's assassination in Paris. National television channels interrupted their programs and broadcast the image of a burning candle for 60 seconds, Ukraine's Federal News Agency reported.A French court acquitted Sholom Schwartzbard, a Russia-born Jew, of the murder even though he admitted to it after the court ...

Is Political Islam Compatible with Democracy?
At the dawn of the so-called Arab Spring in 2011, diplomats, politicians, and intellectuals debated a fresh question: what role can Islamist political parties play in a fledgling democracy?It wasn't an esoteric or academic debating point. In the tumult that followed the collapse of dictatorial governments in Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia, groups of radical Islamists had organized themselves into political parties and attempting to use the ballot box to get them to where the cartridge box could never take them—control of national governments. This was a new strategy on the part of Islamists. Ever since their emergence in the 1940s and their ...

Kosovo: The Hidden Growth of Islamic Extremism
The recent arrest of 40 alleged Islamic radicals in Kosovo together with the arrest of one of the Kosovo Imams suspected of being an inspirer of jihad in the region brought serious questions about the radicalisation of Islam and terrorism in Kosovo, in the Balkans and in Europe. Even though the issue of Kosovo Albanian volunteers or mercenaries fighting alongside the anti-Bashar forces in Syria and supporting the radical leadership of the Islamic State (earlier the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has been present in the public debate in Kosovo for at least a year, the debate itself was ...

War Crimes by British General Sir Michael Jackson
More than forty years later: The 5000 page Saville Commission Report into the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry, Northern Ireland, while calling for compensation to the victims' families, fails to identify who were the perpetrators, both within H.M government and the British Army. "The North's Public Prosecution Service (PPS) is continuing to scrutinise the Saville report to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against British soldiers involved in Bloody Sunday on January 30th, 1972. While progress has been made on the issue of compensation there have been no substantial developments in relation to the possibility of British ...
Breaking Yugoslavia: How the US Used NATO as its Battering Ram
November 1991 is a month and year that will forever live in infamy when it comes to one of the most grievous crimes committed under the rubric of Western foreign policy, as it was on this month in this year that the break-up and destruction of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) was set in train.The Arbitration Commission of the Peace Conference on Yugoslavia was a body set up in 1991 by the Council of Ministers of the European Economic Community (EEC) in response to the conflict that had broken out between separatists in Slovenia and Croatia and the ...
The US-NATO Plan for Macedonia: Keep Serbia Down and Russia Out
The role of the United States in the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is often overlooked by people who are critical of Washington's intervention in the internal affairs of independent, sovereign countries. For it was in the former Yugoslavia that the precedent was set for future American intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo provided the launch pad for the West's concept of humanitarian intervention, which, in reality, is a pretext for safeguarding and enhancing US global hegemony. However, intervention by Washington in the Balkans in the 1990s served a more immediate objective for the ...
A Croatian Role in the Destruction of Yugoslavia in the 1990s (I)
"Thousands joined a peaceful protest on Saturday in the Croatian town of Vukovar to express their anger at Croatian institutions for their "silence" over war crimes committed during the 1990s war" (Balkan Transitional Justice, 2018-10-13). The following essay is my constructive contribution to the above article. Preface On the occasion of more than two decades of the end of the civil war on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia (1991−1995), it is necessary to reassess the real causes and cardinal perpetuators of Yugoslavia's internal and external bloody destruction. In the western scientific literature of the "liberal democracy" scholars (like by the journalists and policymakers as ...

America's Enemies, Who's on the List?
For almost 2 decades, the US pursued a list of 'enemy countries' to confront, attack, weaken and overthrow. This imperial quest to overthrow 'enemy countries' operated at various levels of intensity, depending on two considerations: the level of priority and the degree of vulnerability for a 'regime change' operation. The criteria for determining an 'enemy country' and its place on the list of priority targets in the US quest for greater global dominance, as well as its vulnerability to a 'successfully' regime change will be the focus of this essay. We will conclude by discussing the realistic perspectives of future imperial ...


I thought about it when I was in Austin at the end of October, enjoying the spectacular views from Mount Bonnell and the balcony of my friend Marcia's amazing home nearby.
I thought about it in mid-November when the Mexican Plum and 'Rising Sun' redbud put on their fall colors at least 6 weeks ahead of their usual time.
I thought about it on my birthday on November 23rd ... which was one of those milestone birthdays that you can't imagine yourself actually being when you're in your 20s.
I thought about it in the unseasonably cold days following my birthday, when temperatures dipped almost to freezing on a couple of nights. Truth be told, I was glad to walk outside when it warmed up and see that the blooms on the coral vines had been zapped by the cold. I'd been wanting to whack that vine back for a while but I held off so the bees could enjoy it as long as possible.
I thought about it when I saw the first goldfinch of the year at the feeders during that cold spell.
I thought about it when I did whack the coral vine AND the passion vine back the weekend after Thanksgiving. When I stopped in the middle of the process to check my FitBit tracker for my step count, the FitBit wasn't there, necessitating a careful but worried search which took me almost an hour. I finally found it in the pile of discarded plant material on the patio, caught on one of the vines.
There was almost this much vine to go through. Picture from 2008.
I thought about it when I built a fire in the firepit I created from what I think is an old sugar kettle found at an antiques shop on Magazine Street in New Orleans, old grates from a Jenn-Air cooktop and a firepit cover plucked from a neighbor's on trash day.
I thought about when I made my annual pilgrimage to Glenwood Cemetery on December 5th to work at my friend Mary Beth's gravesite. She always made much of the fact that I was 12 days older than her and affectionately called me an old hag. Since it was a milestone birthday, I spent some time enlarging the area to include her parents' gravestones, then took a break to go shopping at Wabash Antiques and Feed Store on Washington Avenue. My sincere thanks to the good folks at Wabash who loaned me a watering can so I could water in the herbs I bought from them to plant in MB's bed. Just after I began to dig, the sprinkler system in that part of the cemetery kicked on. Oh, how MB would have laughed to watch me attempting to dig and plant in between dodging the sprinklers!
Today, though, I didn't just think about blogging ... I did it!
I'm glad you did! Nice to catch up with you and your garden!
Ah, Cindy, I know what you mean. I'm always thinking about blogging, even when I'm not. If *you* know what *I* mean.
You know what they say! It's the thought that counts. Sounds like quite the fall at MCOK!
I had the same birthday number as you but I guess I'm the old hag by 19 days. :-) nice to catch up to you girl. I hope to post something soon as well.
It's great to catch up! Thanks for the diary. So many stories--so little time. On the landmark birthday, now really, you can't be 40 already! Oh, and happy belated birthday!
Great post! Now we're all caught up. I know how hard it is to get back into it once you stop. I think about writing a lot more blog posts than I actually post. I have quite a few drafts in Blogger that will never see the light of day.
Good thing you were taking pictures all along on those days you DIDN'T blog. :-) It's good to see what you've been up to, Cindy.
I'm glad you did. I love catching up and I understand the thinking process completely.
I'm glad you did too! I had a whole summer like that this summer.
And we're glad you did! Now I can't remember if I sent birthday greetings on Facebook or not, so if I didn't, a belated Happy Birthday! I suspect which milestone birthday this is, which I reached a couple of years ago. I guess that makes me the "old hag":) In my 20's I definitely thought this age was old!
Love your recycled firepit with the beautiful copper!
Great post. I enjoyed looking at your garden through your eyes and sharing you special memories. I just posted today after my usual Thanksgiving to post-daughter birthday blog hiatus, but I've missed it. Glad we're both back at it again!
Getting to it can really be hard sometimes. So much life! What we are thinking about is visiting Texas again. We'll have lots of time to think about it because we are waiting for the date to be set f or our grandson's Eagle award. September maybe? A good time to visit your part of the world. We'd love to see you again.

Q: C and C++ : Partial initialization of automatic structure For example, if somestruct has three integer members, I had always thought that it was OK to do this in C (or C++) function:
somestruct s = {123,};

The first member would be initialized to 123 and the last two would be initialized to 0. I often do the same thing with automatic arrays, writing int arr[100] = {0,}; so that all integers in an array are initialized to zero.

Recently I read in the GNU C Reference Manual that:

If you do not initialize a structure variable, the effect depends on
  whether it is has static storage (see Storage Class Specifiers) or
  not. If it is, members with integral types are initialized with 0 and
  pointer members are initialized to NULL; otherwise, the value of the
  structure's members is indeterminate.

Can someone please tell me what the C and C++ standards say regarding partial automatic structure and automatic array initialization? I do the above code in Visual Studio without a problem but I want to be compatible with gcc/g++, and maybe other compilers as well. Thanks

A: newest gcc versions also allow to "partially" initialize and zeromem at the same time:
typedef struct{
  int a,b,c;
}T;

T s = {0, .b=5};

the struct members now will have these values: a=0, b=5, c=0
i don't have any info on whether other compilers allow this or not :p

A: In C, objects are never partially initialised - if any part of them is initialised, the entire object (and all sub-objects recursively) are initialised.  If no explicit initialiser is provided then elements are initialised to "zero of the appropriate type".
The quote in your question is referring to when the initialiser for the entire object is completely left out, not when a sub-object lacks an initialiser.  For example, assuming that arr has automatic storage duration, then this:
int arr[100] = { 123 };

initialises arr[0] to 123 and every other element of arr to 0.  Whereas this:
int arr[100];

leaves every element of arr uninitialised.  It is this latter case that the quote is in reference to.

A: The linked gcc documentation does not talk of Partial Initialization it just talks of (Complete)Initialization or No Initialization.

What is partial Initialization?

The standards do not define Partial initialization of objects, either there is Complete initialization or No-initialization. Partial Initialization is a non-standard terminology which commonly refers a situation where you provide some initializers but not all i.e: Fewer initializers than the size of the array or the number of structure elements being initialized.
Example:
int array[10] = {1,2};                    //Case 1:Partial Initialization

What is (Complete)Initialization or No Initialization?

Initialization means providing some initial value to the variable being created at the same time when it is being created. ie: in the same code statement.
Example:
int array[10] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};    //Case 2:Complete Initialization
int array[10];                            //Case 3:No Initialization

The quoted paragraph describes the behavior for Case 3.
The rules regarding Partial Initialization(Case 1) are well defined by the standard and these rules do not depend on the storage type of the variable being initialized.
AFAIK, All mainstream compilers have 100% compliance to these rules.

Can someone please tell me what the C and C++ standards say regarding partial automatic structure and automatic array initialization?

The C and C++ standards guarantee that even if an integer array is located on automatic storage and if there are fewer initializers in a brace-enclosed list then the uninitialized elements must be initialized to 0.
C99 Standard 6.7.8.21

If there are fewer initializers in a brace-enclosed list than there are elements or members of an aggregate, or fewer characters in a string literal used to initialize an array of known size than there are elements in the array, the remainder of the aggregate shall be initialized implicitly the same as objects that have static storage duration.

In C++ the rules are stated with a little difference.
C++03 Standard 8.5.1 Aggregates
Para 7:

If there are fewer initializers in the list than there are members in the aggregate, then each member not explicitly initialized shall be value-initialized (8.5).
  [Example:
 struct S { int a; char* b; int c; };
 S ss = { 1, "asdf" };

initializes ss.a with 1, ss.b with "asdf", and ss.c with the value of an expression of the form int(), that is,0. ]

While Value Initialization is defined in,
C++03 8.5 Initializers
Para 5:

To value-initialize an object of type T means:
  — if T is a class type (clause 9) with a user-declared constructor (12.1), then the default constructor for T is called (and the initialization is ill-formed if T has no accessible
    default constructor);
  — if T is a non-union class type without a user-declared constructor, then every non-static
    data member and base-class component of T is value-initialized;
  — if T is an array type, then each element is value-initialized;
  — otherwise, the object is zero-initialized

If technology use at home is a contributing factor to lower attainment in the prime areas of development, then our intervention in the enabling environment should be balancing the over consumption of media at home with opportunities to 'support children to explore' content creation with multi-media technology. This way, we are giving children the skills needed to make better choices at home. If we better value children's interest in the technology they have access to at home, by teaching them new ways to use it, then we will positively impact on their choices at home. That is how we will bring technology skills in line with all of the other areas of learning between home and school. An enabling environment should have a strong link between practitioners and parents and carers so that children have the best start in life. By teaching creation skills with technology, we can balance out and bridge the use of technology at home and school.
The 'Young Children Can Create' series of free books are designed to guide early years practitioners through a progression of simple activities that bring photography, drawing, music making and filming to your setting over a 12 month timescale. The guides take you on a journey through the beginning, middle and end of your academic year, showing you what to do at each part of the year to give children the best opportunity to create with photos, films, music and drawing. The activities blend learning with traditional resources so that the device becomes invisible and creation takes the lead.
Activities across the 4 books are deliberately repeated but with the focus on the skill theme of that book. This is to help you see how 1 activity can support 2 or 3 elements of creating with photography, video, music and drawing with technology. At the end of each guide there is a cross-curricular project to apply these new skills. These projects will support the Characteristics of Effective Learning, specifically those points in the 'Creating and Thinking Critically Strand'.
These 4 free guides are published on the Apple Book Store right now and written in partnership with Kristi Meeuwse and Jason Milner.
Let's make this next academic year one where we 'value all kinds of learning'. A year where we support each other 'to take risks' in our provision. Let's balance out the consumption of media technology at home with media creation at school or nursery, rather than switch off, ignore and hope it just goes away (year on year on year!). We can use technology to facilitate 'rich learning opportunities', because technology is a 'stimulating and relevant resource' to the young children in our care.
Young children can create with technology.

The weekend of woman2warrior
You waded through a giant ice bath, climbed a quarter pipe in the rain, and sipped mimosas in the name of fundraising. I was there to talk about it and The Province was there to capture it all on film.
This weekend's woman2warrior obstacle race benefitting BC Easter Seals Camps could not have been more fun and I could not be more proud to have been part of it. Thank you all! See you next year!

Q&A | Holly Peterson, author of The Idea of Him
Holly Peterson, the New York Times bestselling author of THE MANNY, is launching a new book, The Idea of Him, this month. In this Q&A she shares the greatest mistake she made as a journalist, how money can make you insane and why she didn't want to end her book with a kiss from Colin Firth.
Why did you write this book?
I wanted to write about the phenomenon of falling in love with the "idea" of someone versus the reality of the actual person across the dinner table from us. I think it's something we all have done. Once we are in a relationship, sometimes we delude ourselves into being happy, yet something doesn't feel quite right. When reality hits, we must confront our fears of being on our own, and that can be frightening. Our fears of being on our own often propel us into staying with the wrong person.
I know I've personally fallen for the "idea" of someone numerous times because I have an idea in my head of what I want that person to be and how I'll feel with him: the cool guy with the long hair will make me cool, the stable, appropriate guy will make me feel safe…I even fell for a Frenchman over how his cashmere blazer felt on my cheek! All that stuff doesn't count in the end: the only thing that matters in my mind when it comes to love is an accompanying true friendship and deep intimacy.

Interview | Dave Alexander, Editor-in-Chief of Rue Morgue Magazine
Want to expand your scary movie repertoire beyond Ghostbusters? Me too. So I posed a few questions to Dave Alexander, editor-in-chief of horror-happy Rue Morgue Magazine, who curated a list of terrifically terrifying films available on Netflix Canada. Here, he shares his thoughts on zombies, psychos and friendly Frankensteins.
Plus, we're giving away a six-month subscription to Netflix Canada so you can stream and scream to your heart's content. Details at the bottom of the interview!
I'm a huge wimp. A cover-my-eyes-and-ears kind of wimp. But I love scary movies. Why are they so irresistible?
It seems to be illogical that we'd indulge in things that induce feelings of terror, revulsion and horror, but there are actually a bunch of reasons we seek out dark art. First and foremost, we love to be thrilled — get the physical sensation of an adrenaline rush — without ever being in real danger. This is why people skydive, ride roller coasters, drive fast, etc. While those activities could actually result in your bones breaking, horror films are very safe way to get your pulse racing. Some horror fans simply love special effects and to revel in how far the medium can go in trying to trick us. A good example would be the jaw-dropping monster makeup in David Cronenberg's The Fly, or the outrageous gore gags in The Walking Dead, which are very realistic, creative and even morbidly funny sometimes.
Horror stories also allow us to engage with larger real-world fears in a safe forum. This is why apocalypse films are so popular right now. Anxieties over disease, war and environmental destruction are played out in shows such as The Walking Dead or, more realistically, in movies such as Contagion. Ever notice how these kinds of stories often spark what-would-you-do-in-that-situation discussions? We watch and think about our own survival and how to deal with emergencies, which is ingrained in us thanks to evolution — those who thought more about self-preservation and prepared for bad things, survived more often than those who said, "Ah, I'll worry about it when the time comes… ."
Which movies from your Stream and Scream list are best for scaredy cats?
There are some picks on there to appeal to the fainter of heart, for sure. Hitchcock is a whimsical sort of drama with a ghoulish touch about the Master of Horror and his struggles to make his horror masterpiece, Psycho. Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren are in top form and it doesn't get any darker than some fun day dream scenes in which the filmmaker chats with his imagination's version of Ed Gein, the real-life grave robber and murdered who first inspired the story.
The BBC show Being Human certainly has its frightening and violent elements but offers some great comic relief, too, within its premise of a vampire, werewolf and ghost who share a flat. And, of course, everyone can enjoy Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, a hilarious send-up of the classic Universal Monster movies. Goofy fun with a cast of comic legends, including Gene Wilder, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman and Madeline Khan.
Hitchcock, which tells the story of the making of Psycho, was one of your picks. How have scary films changed since Hitchcock's time?
Hitchcock himself ushered in the modern horror film with Psycho, which evolved the genre in the way that you longer had to worry about supernatural monsters in Gothic European castles; the biggest threat was the boy next door with severe psychological problems. There's a direct line from Norman Bates to Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs, and the body-defiling hillbillies of The Devil's Rejects. And we just can't get enough of Psycho, as proven by the popularity of the new Bates Motel series. Take that, or something like Dexter, and the "psycho" is now the hero. Now, that's a huge turnaround!
What are the key ingredients in a good horror film?
It depends on the type of horror film, but it all begins with strong characters that the audience will care about when they're put in grave danger and must fight against monsters or other evil forces. You need to respect your audience; most genre fans are very savvy and are tired of horror cliches. For example, if your group of campers decides to split up to search the woods, they'd better have a damn good excuse.
Try to apply real-world logic if you're making a serious horror movie. For cartoonish horror-comedies, you can be a lot looser with that, however. And if you're making a movie that relies a lot on special effects don't be half-assed about it. Use organic, non-computer-animated, effects when possible — everyone is tired of bad CGI. And please, avoid cheap jump-scares. It's easy to rattle someone with a loud noise, but it's cheap and irritating when done more than once or twice in a movie. Lastly, just because it's a horror film doesn't mean it needs a pounding, aggressive hard rock soundtrack. Toss that uncreative cheese.
The Walking Dead is one of your picks. Zombies are huge right now and vampires were big before them. What's next?
Our appetite for apocalypse stories seems to be very strong, whether they involve zombies or not. We've definitely been seeing a surge in environmental horror-themed films, which I think we'll see more and more of as global warming anxieties grow with the shrinking of the ice caps.
Recent examples of these films include The Thaw, a 2009 Canadian title about an unfrozen mammoth carcass that's full of some nasty parasites; The Last Winter, Larry Fessenden's 2006 movie about thawing ice unleashing angry spirits; a German flick called Hell, from 2011, which set in an apocalyptic sun-scorched wasteland created by global warming; and an upcoming Austrian film called The Station, about a deadly life form that is resurrected from a melting glacier.
Dave Alexander's full Stream and Scream picks available on Netflix Canada: The Loved Ones, Pan's Labyrinth, Walking Dead, Session 9, Hemlock Grove, Young Frankenstein, The Omen, The Legend of Hell House, Event Horizon, Would You Rather, Insidious, The Reef, Blair Witch Project, Hitchcock, Child's Play, Being Human (UK), Pumpkinhead and The Fly.

Interview | Kim Izzo and David Cormican of The Jane Austen Marriage Manual
Between getting her own pound note and celebrating the 200th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen is having a big year. The Jane Austen Marriage Manual is too. The book by best-selling author Kim Izzo is going to be made into a film (isn't that every author's dream?!). I caught up with the author and producer David Cormican to talk speed dating, Frankenstein, that diner scene from When Harry Met Sally and other things that would make Ms. Austen blush.
David, what attracted you to this novel and why did you think it would make a great film?
I know you're never supposed to do this, but I always buy wine based on its label and a book is no different. The cover was really clever and inviting. Once I started reading it, I felt like I was reading a screenplay. The characters just leapt off the page and I could see the whole movie lay out before me. Kim's writing is very cinematic and theatrical and the more I read, the more I wanted to explore and share this world with other people.
What did Kate learn from Jane Austen that we should all take note of?
Kim: She learned, to paraphrase Elizabeth Bennet, that only the most ardent love would and should entice her, and any woman, into matrimony.
David: I'm not sure if this is what Kate learns, or if I did as a reader through her eyes… but that romantic love is a privilege that most people never earn and we can only hope that we all have the foresight and courage to see it (and even more importantly accept and embrace it) when it is right in front of us!
If Jane Austen were to have actually written a marriage manual, what would she say to those navigating today's speed-dating, "chivalry is dead" world?
Kim: Run, don't walk, to the nearest exit.
David: Be discriminating. An attractive flirt is not necessarily the best relationship material. Take the time to see how compatible you are and don't give in to desperation. Be brave enough to hold out for someone you can really love — and that also holds the door for you.
Some of the most brilliant, career-driven women I know (like Kate) are big Jane Austen fans. Why do you think her tales of unmarried sisters with inheritance anxiety endure?
Kim: I'm not sure its the anxiety bit that endures, but the romance. Austen's novels are gorgeous romances filled to the brim with rogues and dark and brooding strangers. Most women are suckers for it. But, there is also a part of all of us, that wish for a home to call our own, and some security. The world is increasingly a harsh, cold place, having some protection from the "elements" is more than an Austen fantasy, it is a necessity.
David: I feel like I should step back and let Kim answer this one. But if I was forced to answer, I'd say because it is brilliant story telling that speaks to the human condition. Much the same that Shakespeare has endured the test of time.
The Jane Austen Marriage Manual has been called a great beach read. What's in your beach bag?
Kim: I seem to be a year behind! I finally just read The American Heiress and The Chaperone, two of last summer's big reads, and adored them. But I've got my hands on a copy of The Other Typist and can't wait to dive into it next.
David: Right now, I'm reading High, by Brian O'Dea. It's nothing short of gripping. Brian tells all about his life as one of the world's largest drug smugglers. Once I finish those pages, I'll be reading Julius Winsome by Gerard Donovan. It was passed on to me by my producing friend in Vienna (Austria).
The Jane Austen Marriage Manual movie has romantic comedy written all over it. If you could Frankenstein your favourite rom coms together, which films would you get the pieces from?
Kim: Good question. The overall tone would be Notting Hill meets Bridget Jones' Diary, with costumes from The Tourist (yes, seriously, check out Angelina in those clothes!).
David: Oh boy! This is a fun exercise. I'm not sure what any movie would end up looking like with all these franken-elements, but here goes: I've always loved The soundtrack from High Fidelity, the cast from Bridget Jones's Diary, the costumes from Moulin Rouge, the lesson learned in Click the muppets and marketing campaign of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the performances from Hitch, the dialogue and dance sequence from Silver Linings Playbook, the heartbreak from (500) Days of Summer, the honesty of Knocked Up, the evergreen nature of Love Actually, the playfulness of Pretty Woman, the design of Moonrise Kingdom, the quotability of The Princess Bride, the saturation of Amelie and the desserts/diner scene from When Harry Met Sally!

Diary | Talking Oprah and Meditation with Gabrielle Bernstein
Does hanging out with someone as enlightened as author and speaker Gabrielle Bernstein rub off on you? I don't know, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Style | Rebecca Bree Boutique
Rebecca Rawlinson is a ray of sunshine. And not just because of her sunny blonde hair or her Reese Witherspoon-esque enthusiasm for just about everything. Scratch that. It's entirely because of her Reese Witherspoon-esque enthusiasm for just about everything. Especially fashion.
After years of dreaming and planning and what felt like years of renovating, she opened the boutique Rebecca Bree, which is such a reflection of her personality and tastes, those close to her have said it is "like walking into her brain." So I decided to pick that brain…
On her first thoughts
I wanted my own business for about a decade, since I started working retail. I'm never going to be happy working for someone else. I thought Okay, I'm going to start an online store. But that quickly changed because I thought about my daily life and it would be in a warehouse without one-on-one interaction with people and I was like That is not going to work for me. I love people. I love to be surrounded by people, I love to talk to people, I love to style them.
[The Sleep Shirt is by my friend and fellow Vitamin Daily editor Alexandra Suhner Isenberg.]
On darkness and light
I've been to a lot of store openings and the décor never really spoke to me. Too much cement, too much glass, not enough décor, not enough colour. I never felt comfortable and cozy, I always felt cold, like I was in a museum.
Vancouver's a very dark city so I wanted a bright, inviting store when it's raining. The lighting had to be bright, the paint had to be white.
On learning to let go
This was a huge risk because I've been in retail, I've been in management but I haven't been in business.
Before I was like I have to do it all, no one's going to do it the way I want it done. But now, if I communicate effectively then other people can help me build the store and help me get to where I am. I mean, I remember telling Cynthia how to fold the hand towels in the bathroom.
On Rebecca Bree's tucked-away location on Fourth Avenue
After three months of searching my realtor sent me this place and I was like No. The windows are too small, I don't like it. I was very negative about it at first.
But then my boyfriend and I came to visit it and we parked two blocks away and we walked past Aphrodites and Banyen Books and Bioethique, and saw La Quercia across the street. We walked in and it was a blank canvas. There was nothing in here.
My boyfriend and I looked at each other and we were like This is it.

Style | Inside TOPSHOP Vancouver, the brand's biggest international store
Topshop's biggest store outside the UK — all 33,000 square feet of it — opens today in The Bay on Granville Street in Vancouver.
"I'm still getting lost in it, I can assure you," said managing director Mary Homer when I stopped by yesterday to get a first look at the space, which houses Topshop's specialty boutique, a petite section, tall section, maternity wear section and gigantic shoe section. Plus, a personal shopping suite.
After my tour I sat down with a few of Topshop's top people and here's what they had to say…
Mary Homer on the pre-opening jitters
It gives us such a sense of pride that people are excited for Topshop. You hope that people are going to love Topshop but until people actually come through the door and buy, I'm always a little nervous about the reception.
Mary Homer on how the web's changed the game
You've got an online business and it's brilliant, but the stores have to be even better now. Our customer is quite interesting because she will go online and look and then she'll visit the store and buy.
Talk to teenagers and ask them if they're going to shop online and they say "Oh no. I want to go shopping, I want to have lunch, I want to try things on."
Topman creative director Gordon Richardson on women shopping the men's section
You shop Topman? Please say yes. [Well I will now that I've seen the sweaters – Kelsey]
A lot of women shop Topman because it's just good, great clothes, it's like weekend clothes. Put on a sweater or a big blanket-looking shirt with a boy blazer or a boy jean and it kind of works.
Gordon Richardson on evolving men's fashion
I think men just haven't been let free yet to explore. We were just talking earlier that it's taken us 10, 12 years to build brand credibility within Topman. We needed to make it a cool brand and we needed to improve the product, which I think we've done and we're now at this point where we're a fashion-led brand every bit as good as Topshop is for women.
Gordon Richardson on what it's like being creative director
It's about the creative brushstroke that I have across everything, which is a great role but quite exhausting sometimes.
The stakes are higher, the pressure is there to get it right. There are some things that don't work as well but you can't run a fashion business on everything being right. Fashion is about creativity and constant change so you have to run with that.
Gordon Richardson on the big picture
You have to think globally now as well because we're such an international brand although we're very British-focused, a lot of our imagery and our look is British. Obviously we're now going to have now consider international markets.
It has a very British slant this season with all the fabrics and tweeds. The tweed is actual Harris Tweed and I don't think there are any other brands at our level working with it. It's woven in the outer Hebrides, north of England. It's proper traditional cloth gentlemen used to wear to hunt, and shoot and fish.
London calling? Put it on hold and head to Topshop Vancouver instead.

Workspace | Erica Lam of The Style Spy
The Anthology's Workspace column takes us inside the creative spaces of some very creative people.
If you follow style blogs in Canada you're very familiar with The Style Spy. Founded by the lovely (seriously, she's a doll) and talented Erica Lam, it chronicles fashion trends, features interviews with industry insiders and highlights "Girls of the Week" (one of whom you might recognize).
In her own words, Erica takes us through all the shoes and books and nail polishes that fill her workspace…
1. I recently moved to Montreal and this is my current set-up at the apartment I'm subletting. I must confess, I'm typically messier than this, but moving cross-country has forced me to streamline. It's a good feeling not to have piles and piles of stuff sitting on your desk.
2. There's usually a rotation of magazines – it's either fashion magazines like the ones you see or business magazines like Fast Company or INC.
3. The book Creative, Inc. is a guide to running a freelance business. It was actually recommended to me by The Anthology's Kelsey herself [Glad you like it! – Kelsey]. I left my advertising agency job as a social media strategist in Vancouver and am now working with clients on a freelance basis.
4. The Holstee Manifesto poster sits right above my desk. It's a great daily reminder to really go after what you want in life.
5. Brands regularly send over products for me to try, the red suede booties are from Call It Spring's fall collection and the nail polishes are from Essie's winter line.
6. Don't you love checking stuff off lists? I do. Hence the weekly things to do notepad from Chapters. I always have a Moleskine notebook next to me where I jot down all my ideas.
7. Attending events and networking are part of the job. The invitation on the desk is to Aldo Shoes' 4oth anniversary, they're hosting special pop-up exhibit at the Aldo Flagship store in Montreal.
P.S. Click your way to The Style Spy to see the fruits of Erica's workspace.
P.P.S. Check out the first post in The Anthology's Workspace column and find out how Niki Blasina of A Haute Mess smells when she blogs. Click through the second post to find out where Anya Georgijevic of I'm the It Girl started her footwear obsession. Find out how Kumiko Ide of Tribal DDB keeps her workspace fresh to death. Take a look at jewelry designer Justine Brooks' works in progress and her favourite places to work very, very remotely. Take a look at Lisa Wong of Solo Lisa's cat-decorated desk and Anna Cohen's converted stable in Denmark. And Alicia Quan's yellow suitcase desk storage is definitely an idea worth stealing.
Style | Heidi Merrick's Endless Summer
When California-based designer Heidi Merrick stopped by Oliver & Lilly's in Vancouver (where her line is available) I chatted with her about the 1980s, her surfing pedigree, and her first kiss.
From left to right: Heidi Merrick, Oliver and Lilly's owner Leighann Boquist and yours truly.
You and your designs are pure California. What were you referencing in this collection?
I always say it's high glam — like surf 80s glam — and my small town beach town, but truthfully it's about this surfer Tom Curren, the best surfer in the world of all time. He was living at our house when I was young, he was my dad's protégé [her dad is surf legend Al Merrick]. When he was going on world tour, he kissed me goodbye in the driveway. I think I was about 8 or 9 and it was my first kiss.
I was looking at a book on 1980s surfing and I saw a picture of Tom and it brought it all back and I thought I'm going to do something inspired by strong emotional feeling so I tried to make the colours super glamourous and the seersucker and the gauze and the scarves were kind of that little girl left in Carpinteria [where she grew up]– dressed down, beach town, bleached out.
I remember imagining him going on world tour – and I'm sure it's the most miserable experience in the world to be a surfer on the world tour – but in my mind it was the most glamourous thing in the world so I tried to put it together: the little girl left in Carpinteria and the glamour of the surf world.
You're now about as far north, in terms of big cities, as it gets on the west coast so how does your Southern California surf-inspired collection fit in in Vancouver?
I can't believe how cool everyone is who's walking in the door and how like-minded it feels. Maybe yeah, they're here for an event for me, but I couldn't imagine a better group of friends. Take the designer Dace, for example, we met in New York and we just had this immediate connection.
There's a real California/Canadian vibe.
From Heidi Merrick F/W12: Savile skirt, Jeffrey's coat, and Savvy dress.
For your fall collection you've gone in a slightly more polished direction. What's the story behind it?
For that I was trying to do a gentleman surfer. Spring in retrospect is more bohemian than I need in my closet and so I wanted to dress it up a little bit. I modelled it after this one photograph of this dude I know surfing in a toque in a yellow top and turquoise shorts and the entire colour palette is taken from that one photograph.

Style | The Name is Rachel. Rachel Roy.
If you had 15 minutes to ask Rachel Roy anything you wanted, what would you ask? When I sat down with the New York-based designer before her appearance at The Bay in honour of her fall collection, I asked her about Oprah, interning and time travel…
You have described RACHEL Rachel Roy as the younger sister of your designer line. What do you love most about designing it?
Because I was that girl growing up, I have a very kindred spirit to her. I really respect her. I understand that just because she might not be able to pay $500 for a dress she wants fashion and she wants what she sees in Vogue or the magazines that she reads. She wants better options so it's really important to me to respect that and give the options that I am able to give within a certain price point.
What if you could speak to yourself when you were "That girl?" If you could travel back in time to give yourself a piece of advice when you began your career as an intern at Rocawear, what would you say?
I would say, "Good choice. I'm proud of you. You're confident enough, thankful enough and capable enough to work for free simply to be in an industry that you've been dying to be in."
Advice I would give to myself would be to have a point of view and stick to it. I definitely do that now and I think I've done that since my 30s but sometimes in your 20s you learn it if you're not taught it right away. Having a point of view that you truly believe in – and sticking to it no matter who's doing what in your personal life or your professional life – the world at large will have more respect for you if you actually have a story that you live.
In addition to your success as a designer, you've become a staple in pop culture with appearances on Oprah and Project Runway and celebrity clients like the first lady. What is it that most amazes you about what you've accomplished?
I'm just doing what I'm good at. I'm not good at a lot of things, but I think that everyone is good at something. When you're good in the arts, it's not something that – when you go through the public school system in the United States at least — it's not something that you're taught. So you can think "What the hell am I good at? What's my gift?" And a lot of times you don't learn that until you're much older.
For me, that was knowing my gift was being able to take my surroundings and make them, to the best of my ability, visually as stimulating or comforting or pleasing as possible. That would be even with homes – I would go into friends' places and help them shift stuff. In college I would be the girl that my friends would ask to come clean out their closets. And I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I say that to say we're all good at something and when you can figure that out great, and it really doesn't matter what you're getting paid because your soul is happy.
[My dress c/o RACHEL Rachel Roy, my purse and necklace are both vintage.]
