(Korean: 주식회사 대한항공; Hanja: 株式會社 大韓航空; RR: Jusikhoesa Daehan Hanggong), operating as Korean Air, is the largest airline and flag carrier of South Korea based on fleet size, international destinations and international flights. The airline's global headquarters is located in Seoul, South Korea. The present-day Korean Air was established on March 1, 1969, after the Hanjin Group acquired government-owned Korean Air Lines, which had operated since June 1962. Through their majority control of Hanjin KAL Corporation, the Cho family, the owner family of Hanjin Group is still the airline's largest and controlling, shareholder; Cho Won-tae (aka Walter Cho), its current Chairman and CEO, is the third generation of the family to lead the airline. As of 5th June 2020, Hanjin KAL holds 29.27% of Korean Air shares.[4] Korean Air is a founding member of the SkyTeam airline alliance.
Korean Air's international passenger division and related subsidiary cargo division together serve 126 cities in 44 countries, while its domestic division serves 13 destinations. It is among the top 20 airlines in the world in terms of passengers carried and is also one of the top-ranked international cargo airlines. Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 serves as Korean Air's international hub. Korean Air also maintains a satellite headquarters campus at Incheon. The majority of Korean Air's pilots, ground staff, and flight attendants are based in Seoul.[citation needed] The airline had approximately 20,540 employees as of December 2014.[5]

Founding[edit]
In 1962, government of the Republic of Korea acquired Korean National Airlines, which was founded in 1946 and changed name to Korean Air Lines become state-owned airline. On 1 March 1969, the Hanjin Group acquired the state-owned airline and it is the beginning of Korean Air.[6][7] Long-haul trans-pacific freight operations were introduced on April 26, 1971, followed by passenger services to Los Angeles International Airport on April 19, 1972.[8]
Expansion[edit]
Korean Air flies international flights to such as Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and Los Angeles were flown with Boeing 707s until the introduction of the Boeing 747 in 1973. In 1973, the airline introduced Boeing 747s on its trans-Pacific routes and started a European service to Paris, France using the 707 and then McDonnell Douglas DC-10. In 1975, the airline became one of the earliest Asian airlines to operate Airbus aircraft with the purchase of three Airbus A300s, which were put into immediate service on Asian routes.[9] In 1981, Korean Air opens own cargo terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.[6] Since South Korean aircraft were prohibited from flying in the airspace of North Korea and the Soviet Union at the time, the European routes had to be designed eastbound from South Korea, such as Seoul ~ Anchorage ~ Paris.
Change to 'Korean Air'[edit]
A blue-top, silver and redesigned livery with a new corporate "Korean Air" logo featuring a stylized Taegeuk design was introduced on March 1, 1984, and the airline's name changed to Korean Air from Korean Air Lines. This livery was introduced on its MD-80s and Boeing 747-300s. It was designed in cooperation between Korean Air and Boeing. In the 1990s, Korean Air became the first airline to use the new McDonnell Douglas MD-11 to supplement its new fleet of Boeing 747-400 aircraft; however, the MD-11 did not meet the airline's performance requirements and they were eventually converted to freighters. Some older 747 aircraft were also converted for freight service. In the 1984, Korean Air's head office was in the KAL Building on Namdaemunno, Jung-gu, Seoul.[6][7][10]

Further expansion and founding of Jin Air[edit]
On 23 June 2000, along with Aeroméxico, Air France and Delta Air Lines, Korean Air founded world's major airline alliance, SkyTeam and SkyTeam Cargo, founded on 28 September 2000.[11][12]
On June 5, 2007, Korean Air said that it would create a new low-cost carrier called Jin Air in Korea to compete with Korea's KTX high-speed railway network system, which offered cheaper fares and less stringent security procedures compared to air travel. Jin Air started its scheduled passenger service from Seoul to Jeju on July 17, 2008. Korean Air announced that some of its 737s and A300s would be given to Jin Air.
By 2009, Korean Air's image had become more prestigious, differing from the airline's late-1990s image, which had been tarnished by several fatal accidents.[13]
In mid-2010, a co-marketing deal with games company Blizzard Entertainment sent a 747-400 and a 737-900 taking to the skies wrapped in StarCraft II branding. In August 2010, Korean Air announced heavy second-quarter losses despite record-high revenue.[14] In August 2010, Hanjin Group, the parent of Korean, opened a new cargo terminal at Navoi in Uzbekistan, which will become a cargo hub with regular Incheon-Navoi-Milan flights.[15]
Korean Air owns five hotels: two KAL hotels on Jeju island, the Hyatt in Incheon; Waikiki Resort in Hawaii, and a hotel/office building called the Wilshire Grand Tower in Los Angeles. This building in downtown Los Angeles houses the largest InterContinental Hotel in the Americas in what is the tallest building in Los Angeles.[16]
In 2013, Korean Air acquired a 44% stake in Czech Airlines.[17] It sold the stake in October 2017. On May 1, 2018, the airline launched a joint venture partnership with Delta Air Lines.[18]
Acquisition of Asiana Airlines[edit]
On 16 November 2020, the Government of South Korea officially announced that Korean Air will acquire Asiana Airlines.[19] Korea Development Bank, a state-owned bank, will provide 800 bilion won to Hanjin Group to help finance the merger between the airlines.[19] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of the Republic of Korea will integrate subsidiaries Air Busan, Air Seoul and Jin Air to form a combined low-cost carrier which will operate focusing on regional airports in Korea.[20]
Corporate affairs and identity[edit]

Fleet plans[edit]
At the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines Assembly in 2018, Korean Air announced that it was considering a new large widebody aircraft order to replace older Airbus A330, Boeing 747-400, Boeing 777-200ER and Boeing 777-300. Types under consideration for replacement of older widebody aircraft in the fleet include the Boeing 777X and Airbus A350 XWB.[53]
At the International Air Transport Association Annual General Meeting (IATA AGM) in Seoul, Chairman Walter Cho said Korean Air's widebody order is imminent and it is considering an extra order of Airbus A220 Family including developing version, Airbus A220-500.[54]

Korean Air Airbus A380-800 Business Class cabin
Korean Air Airbus A380-800 Economy Class cabin
Korean Air currently offers three types of first class, four types of business (Prestige) class, and standard economy class.[55]
First Class[edit]
First Class seats include "Kosmo Suites 2.0" seats on all Boeing 747-8I and many 777-300ER models. "Kosmo Suites" seats are fitted on most of the Airbus A380-800 fleet as well as some of the Boeing 777-200ER and -300ER fleet; the differences between "Kosmo Suites 2.0" and "Kosmo Suites" is that "Kosmo Suites 2.0" has a sliding door to provide the passenger with better privacy. Some Boeing 777-300ER models are fitted with the newer "Kosmo Suites 2.0". "Kosmo Sleeper" seats are fitted on some Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. "Sleeper" first class seats are older than Kosmo First Class models and are equipped on Boeing 747-400 and later Boeing 777-300 models.
Prestige Class[edit]
Prestige Class seats include new "Prestige Suites" that focuses on the design of the Apex Suites. This business class model is equipped on all Boeing 747-8i and 787-9, as well as most 777-300ER aircraft. "Prestige Sleeper" seats are fitted on some Boeing 777-300ERs and Airbus A380s, as well as 777-200ER aircraft that feature "Kosmo Suites" first class seats; "Prestige Plus" seats are fitted on most of the Boeing 777-200ER fleet, most of the Boeing 747-400 fleet, and one Boeing 777-300; "Old Prestige Class" seats are currently being phased out in aircraft that are equipped with it (with the exception of the Boeing 737 family). "Prestige Sleeper" and "Prestige Suites" seats recline to 180 degrees, while "Prestige Plus" seats recline up to 172 degrees. "Old Prestige Class" seats recline up to 138 degrees.
Premium Economy Class[edit]
On 27 December 2017, CEO of Korean Air, Won-Tae Cho said to consider to introduce Premium Economy Class.[56] In that result, Korean Air introduced its first Premium Economy Class named "Economy Plus" on its CS300 (Airbus A220-300). It features seats that are 4 inches wider than standard economy class seats.[57] However, on 10 June, 2019, Korean Air announced it would discontinue "Economy Plus"; it will be reassigned to economy class due to discordance of service and profit loss.[58][59]
Economy Class[edit]
Economy Class seats recline up to 121 degrees. A new type of seat called "New Economy Class" is being installed on all Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 777-200ER aircraft with Kosmo Suites, all Boeing 777-300 aircraft, some Airbus A330-300 aircraft, some Airbus A330-200 aircraft, the Airbus A380 aircraft (factory-installed), and brand new Boeing 747-8i aircraft. The "Kosmo Suites" seats and the "Prestige Sleeper" seats were first introduced in the Boeing 777-300ERs in May 2009.[60] Both seats could stretch to 180 degrees, and became more private than seats before.
Loyalty program[edit]
SKYPASS is the frequent-flyer program of Korean Air. "SKYPASS" also refers to the blue card which Korean Air frequent-flyers are given. The motto of SKYPASS is "Beyond your Imagination". The program's elite levels are comparable to those of other airlines' frequent-flyer programs, requiring members to fly 30,000 miles per two-year cycle (initial entry into this level requires 50,000 miles). Qualification for the highest level is based on lifetime flight miles, requiring a customer to fly 1 million miles for Million Miler, which is the highest elite status; or 500,000 miles for Morning Calm Premium, which comes second. Both membership levels are eligible for SkyTeam Elite Plus privileges. Membership in these levels are granted for life.
Korean Air members' club was named Morning Calm, as a reference to South Korea's tradition. Since 1886, when a book written by Percival Lowell obtained large success in the United States in narrating the history of Korea, the country started to be internationally referred as "the Land of Morning calm",[61] and its ruling monarchy the Joseon, became known abroad as the "Morning Dynasty".
Aerospace research and manufacturing[edit]
Korean Air is also involved in aerospace research and manufacturing. The division, known as the Korean Air Aerospace Division (KAL-ASD), has manufactured licensed versions of the MD Helicopters MD 500 and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, as well as the Northrop F-5E/F Tiger II fighter aircraft,[62] the aft fuselage and wings for the KF-16 fighter aircraft manufactured by Korean Aerospace Industries and parts for various commercial aircraft including the Boeing 737, Boeing 747, Boeing 777 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner; and the Airbus A330 and Airbus A380.[63] In 1991 the division designed and flew the Korean Air Chang-Gong 91 light aircraft. KAA also provides aircraft maintenance support for the United States Department of Defense in Asia and maintains a research division with focuses on launch vehicles, satellites, commercial aircraft, military aircraft, helicopters and simulation systems.[64]
In October 2012, a development deal between Bombardier Aerospace and a government-led South Korean consortium was announced, aiming to develop a 90-seat turboprop regional airliner, targeting a 2019 launch date. The consortium would include Korea Aerospace Industries and Korean Air.[65]
Incidents and accidents[edit]
Main article: Korean Air incidents and accidents
Korean Air had a poor safety record and was once one of the world's most dangerous airlines.[66][67] Between 1970 and 1999, many fatal incidents occurred, during which time 16 aircraft were written off in serious incidents and accidents with the loss of 700 lives. Two Korean Air aircraft were shot down by the Soviet Union, one operating as Korean Air Lines Flight 902 and the other as Korean Air Lines Flight 007. Korean Air's deadliest incident was Flight 007 which was shot down by the Soviet Union on September 1, 1983. All 269 people on board were killed, including a sitting U.S. Congressman, Larry McDonald. The last fatal passenger accident was the Korean Air Flight 801 crash in 1997, which killed 228 people. The last crew fatalities were in the crash of Korean Air Cargo Flight 8509 in December 1999.[68]
Controversy & Criticism[edit]
Chaebol and nepotism[edit]
Korean Air has been cited as one of the examples of the South Korean "chaebol" system, wherein corporate conglomerates, established with government support, overreach diverse branches of industry. For much of the time between the foundation of Korean Air as Korean National Airlines in 1946 and the foundation of Asiana Airlines in 1988, Korean Air was the only airline operating in South Korea. The process of privatization of Korean National Airlines in 1969 was supported by Park Chung-hee, the South Korean military general-president who seized power of the country through a military coup d'état; and the monopoly of the airline was secured for two decades. After widening the Jaebeol branches, the subsidiary corporations of Korean Air include marine and overland transportation businesses, hotels and real estate among others; and the previous branches included heavy industry, passenger transportation, construction and a stockbroking business. The nature of the South Korean chaebeol system involves nepotism. A series of incidents involving Korean Air in 2000s have "revealed an ugly side of the culture within chaebeols, South Korean's giant family-run conglomerates".[69]
Nut rage incident[edit]
Main article: Nut rage incident
Cho Hyun-Ah, also known as "Heather Cho", is the daughter of then-chairman Cho Yang-ho. She resigned from some of her duties in late 2014 after she ordered a Korean Air jet to return to the gate to allow a flight attendant to be removed from the aircraft. The attendant had served Cho nuts in a bag instead of on a plate. As a result of further fallout, Cho Hyun-Ah was later arrested by Korean authorities for violating South Korea's aviation safety laws.[70]

B4.1.29 Measurement of a financial asset or financial liability and classification of recognised changes in its value are determined by the item's classification and whether the item is part of a designated hedging relationship. Those requirements can create a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as an 'accounting mismatch') when, for example, in the absence of designation as at fair value through profit or loss, a financial asset would be classified as subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and a liability the entity considers related would be subsequently measured at amortised cost (with changes in fair value not recognised). In such circumstances, an entity may conclude that its financial statements would provide more relevant information if both the asset and the liability were measured as at fair value through profit or loss.
an entity has contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 (the measurement of which incorporates current information) and financial assets that it considers to be related and that would otherwise be measured at either fair value through other comprehensive income or amortised cost.
an entity has financial assets, financial liabilities or both that share a risk, such as interest rate risk, and that gives rise to opposite changes in fair value that tend to offset each other. However, only some of the instruments would be measured at fair value through profit or loss (for example, those that are derivatives, or are classified as held for trading). It may also be the case that the requirements for hedge accounting are not met because, for example, the requirements for hedge effectiveness in Qualifying criteria for hedge accounting (IFRS 9 6.4.1) are not met.
an entity has financial assets, financial liabilities or both that share a risk, such as interest rate risk, that gives rise to opposite changes in fair value that tend to offset each other and none of the financial assets or financial liabilities qualifies for designation as a hedging instrument because they are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Furthermore, in the absence of hedge accounting there is a significant inconsistency in the recognition of gains and losses. For example, the entity has financed a specified group of loans by issuing traded bonds whose changes in fair value tend to offset each other. If, in addition, the entity regularly buys and sells the bonds but rarely, if ever, buys and sells the loans, reporting both the loans and the bonds at fair value through profit or loss eliminates the inconsistency in the timing of the recognition of the gains and losses that would otherwise result from measuring them both at amortised cost and recognising a gain or loss each time a bond is repurchased.
B4.1.31 In cases such as those described in the preceding paragraph, to designate, at initial recognition, the financial assets and financial liabilities not otherwise so measured as at fair value through profit or loss may eliminate or significantly reduce the measurement or recognition inconsistency and produce more relevant information. For practical purposes, the entity need not enter into all of the assets and liabilities giving rise to the measurement or recognition inconsistency at exactly the same time. A reasonable delay is permitted provided that each transaction is designated as at fair value through profit or loss at its initial recognition and, at that time, any remaining transactions are expected to occur.
B4.1.32 It would not be acceptable to designate only some of the financial assets and financial liabilities giving rise to the inconsistency as at fair value through profit or loss if to do so would not eliminate or significantly reduce the inconsistency and would therefore not result in more relevant information. However, it would be acceptable to designate only some of a number of similar financial assets or similar financial liabilities if doing so achieves a significant reduction (and possibly a greater reduction than other allowable designations) in the inconsistency. For example, assume an entity has a number of similar financial liabilities that sum to CU100 and a number of similar financial assets that sum to CU50 but are measured on a different basis. The entity may significantly reduce the measurement inconsistency by designating at initial recognition all of the assets but only some of the liabilities (for example, individual liabilities with a combined total of CU45) as at fair value through profit or loss. However, because designation as at fair value through profit or loss can be applied only to the whole of a financial instrument, the entity in this example must designate one or more liabilities in their entirety. It could not designate either a component of a liability (eg changes in value attributable to only one risk, such as changes in a benchmark interest rate) or a proportion (ie percentage) of a liability.

Q: Violin plot of ggplot2 requires an x variable even though there is none I'm trying to create a violin plot with the continuous variable tm_aerobic_vario which has the following values:
NA  50 614  30  60 180 120 240  12  60 135 120  25 120 120  60  10 120  90  90  30   0 180 120  30   5   0   0  60 180 120  24  30  30  40  40   0 180  60 180  45   0  10  30 120 120   1  45  15  30 180
The code is:
ggplot(initdata, aes(x = 1, y = tm_aerobic_vario)) + geom_violin(trim=FALSE,fill="gray") + geom_boxplot(width=0.1) + theme_apa()
It keeps insisting that it needs an x value (in another dataset, I used x as 'Group' and it made a nice graph with two groups in the x axis) although there is no x value for me to provide. Thus the graph below

What can I do to replace the X axis, or which value is the correct to provide in case of only 1 variable?

A: As neilfws wrote, x is a factor, so you can just leave it blank by writing x = ""
so
ggplot(initdata, aes(x = "", y = tm_aerobic_vario)) + geom_violin(trim=FALSE,fill="gray") + geom_boxplot(width=0.1) + theme_apa()

A: I add it as an complete example below. You can edit the axis even more if you want to get rid of it completely.
library(ggplot2)

initdata <- data.frame(tm_aerobic_vario = c(NA, 50, 614, 30, 60, 180, 120, 240, 12, 60, 135, 120, 25, 120, 120, 60, 10, 120, 90, 90, 30, 0, 180, 120, 30, 5, 0, 0, 60, 180, 120, 24, 30, 30, 40, 40, 0, 180, 60, 180, 45, 0, 10, 30, 120, 120, 1, 45, 15, 30, 180))

ggplot(initdata, aes(x = "tm aerobic vario", y=tm_aerobic_vario)) +
  labs(x="", y="") +
  geom_violin(trim = F, fill = "gray") +
  geom_boxplot(width=0.1) +
  theme_classic() +
  # theme(axis.text = element_blank(), axis.ticks.x = element_blank()) # to get rid of axis completely

Q: Python Searching Nested Lists I have a nested list called players as shown below:
players = [["PlayerA", "10", "20"], ["PlayerB", "15", "30"], ["PlayerC", "15", "30"] ]

I want to be able to search by Player name (PlayerA, PlayerB, etc) using an input statement and if the search matches an item, then it prints out the entire item. How would I go about doing this, I am trying to learn different methods.
search = input("Please enter the players name")
for item in players:
  if item == search:
     print(item)
  else:
     print("item not found")

When I do the above it keeps printing item not found.
Many Thanks in Advance.

A: The reason that it's printing "item not found" is because you are comparing a sublist to the string to find, e.g.,
["PlayerA", "10", "20"] == "PlayerA"

which, of course, is false.  You need to extract the name from each sublist.
One way you could do this is to use filter like so:
filter(lambda record: record[0] == "PlayerA", players)

This will return a list of the records with a 0th element matching "PlayerA".

A: if item == search:

This conditional won't succeed because item is ["PlayerA", "10", "20"], and search is "PlayerA". A list won't ever compare equal to a string.
Try comparing search against the first element of item specifically.
if item[0] == search:

A: Filter the players using a list comprehension, which compares the first item from each sub list in players with the player name from search:
players = [["PlayerA", "10", "20"], ["PlayerB", "15", "30"], ["PlayerC", "15", "30"] ]
search = input("Please enter the players name: ")

result = [player for player in players if player[0] == search]

if result == []: # or if not result
    print("item not found")
else:
    print(result)

A: You need to access to first element or your nested list.
Like this:
for player in players:
    if player[0] == input:
        return player

ONLINE EVENT: Berg & Schubert
Watch on Marquee TV
Thu 21 Jan 2021 7.00pm - 8.45pm
Berg Violin Concerto
Schubert Symphony No 9, 'The Great'
Sir Simon Rattle conductor
Leonidas Kavakos violin
Tickets: free for seven days; available on demand via subscription
Please note that finish times are approximate and subject to change
This performance is supported by the National Bank of Greece to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Greek Independence, within the context of the "Bicentennial Initiative 1821–2021", in which leading Greek foundations are taking part.
Music from the heart: Sir Simon Rattle and Leonidas Kavakos swing from profound sorrow to boundless joy, with Viennese classics by Schubert and Berg.
Schubert's 'Great' C major symphony didn't get its nickname for nothing, and this vast, sunlit voyage through the Romantic imagination is one of those pieces that just sweeps you away. Berg's Violin Concerto is at the opposite emotional extreme – absolute sorrow distilled into almost unbearable beauty, and dedicated 'to the memory of an angel'.
It's played today by Leonidas Kavakos. 'I doubt if there is more than a handful of violinists alive who can match Kavakos' wrote Gramophone, and when the LSO played this concerto with him in 2012, the Daily Telegraph praised his 'heroic strength and purity of tone … with everything aspiring towards a celestial purity'. We've all been through a lot since then: just another reason to suspect that this performance will be something very special indeed.
Recorded on 7 January 2021 at LSO St Luke's in COVID-secure conditions.

Martin Gustafsson, founder, Weft
Martin Gustafsson, the Vertical Denim Consultant
by Sinem Celik — March 22, 2021
After working with various global brands for several years and for over 20 years in the denim industry, at Acne Studios among others, Martin Gustafsson decided to start his own consultancy. His company Weft focuses on product, branding and design in denim development. But he also creates concepts for brands to build the right supply chain with a sustainable strategy. Here, he is interviewed by another denim expert, Sinem Celik–who works as a sustainability change agent and lecturer at her platform BluProjects–to talk about the sustainable approach within the denim industry.
Martin, can you tell us about your professional background and education?
I started working with jeans in a store in the late '90s, which was in the textile capital of Sweden, Borås. So I ended up study at the university there. I did an internship at Acne Jeans in 2002; at that time there were only 12 people working at the office and it was a very small brand.
I loved the creative atmosphere working in the same office with their advertisement and film company. It was energy which you could feel that Acne want to go their own way which I liked and impressed me. I got big responsibility from the start and ended up in the denim department. We were a very small team that went to the garment makers, literally lived at the factory, and developed all styles from scratch in the laundry. This was the best education of all about denim that anyone could get.
I also was amazed how much creativity we got when looking back today, something I think Johnny [Johansson, Acne's cofounder] regretted at some points.
After Acne, I went to Norway to work for Varner Group in various positions, mainly setting up the whole process for the new denim brands, such as Never Denim and Karve.
Weft's services include pattern-making.
So now that you are a freelancer, welcome to the club. Please tell us more about Weft and your plans of creating a positive impact for the denim design and sourcing fields.
Thank you! Yes, I think creating a value and impact is very important.
I believe we all have a responsibility when taking on projects to deliver the most responsible product and constantly educate and search for new, better techniques.
I know you for so many years and as far as i remember, we met in the year 2006, when you were at Acne. Over all these years, now looking back, how do you think the denim industry has changed?
A lot! I mean it almost was another sport at that time. If we start with the fabrics, the collections and variation of fabric types, techniques and no sustainability focus. Stretch fabrics were not very big when I started 20 years ago and fabric selection was more limited, which was actually nice.
I really believe change is relevant as final product, but enormous fabric collections and the number of fabric fairs per year have gone through the roof for what we need.
If you look at retail, it has completely different conditions. Digital vs. brick-and-mortar store, and the more selected and curated jeans stores you could find in most cities back then don't exist anymore.

Sinem Celik, founder, BluProjects, talked to Martin Gustafsson for this interview.
Coming to the famous buzzword and our core topic, sustainability. How do you define it from a fashion designer's point of view?
I think the main problem is that the "S" word usage has lead to an inflation of the true meaning. Many mills, GMs and brands have been using this as marketing and greenwashing. Lately I see this separated into the serious ones. The ones who don't really know what they are doing or can't succeed since the product's price segment doesn't allow. I believe in pushing yourself to become more responsible each season and setting reasonable goals that you share. Refer to useful data and be clear in your communication.
Knowing waste is the central issue of fashion, globally, seven out of 10 garments end their life cycle at the end of the same year of production.I believe the industry has to focus on the core of the problem and look for ways to design products with the end in mind. Do you have any experiences and examples of this approach?
At some point, we will need to realize that we need to match the supply and demand better and that we can't increase the buying budget each year. We are in this together, so brands and customers need to take responsibility for clothes' lifespan. Wash less, repair, adjust or give away some simple ways.
I think a lot is happening in the last years and we need to bring the discussion into the media and people also need to realize that what you pay for the products has something to say.
Photo: Karve
Before founding Weft, Gustafsson was design and brand manager for Karve.
Besides design, you also have significant experience in global fabric and garment sourcing from different countries and worked for different brand segments. How do you think conscious sourcing is possible in such a system full of complexity and greenwashing?
We need to look at it as a resource. Use as many local ingredients as you can. It saves not only resources but also gives you shorter lead times and helps you get more flexible. Look at the whole supply chain components, use fewer core articles in more significant variation, be creative. You can use the same foundation for lunch and the set menu at night; it's the presentation and what you add that separates them. My Italian friends will be very proud when they see I use a metaphor to answer this question!
No doubt, Covid-19 has a massive impact on the fashion industry and shopping habits. Currently, the main discussions are around digitalism and resetting the fashion cycle. How do you foresee the post-Covid environment and consumer?
I don't think that it will be very different. People will fall back to old habits in some areas but when it comes to the way we travel, meet and shop it will change. I really hope we have learned from this period.
Martin Gustafsson worked many years at Acne Jeans.
And let's get personal. What was the design/work which made you the most proud?
I'm not proud of any products; I appreciate when people use a garment and understand that there's more behind it than just an item.
What is your favorite piece of denim and why?
I really appreciate how both Helmut Lang back in the days and APC introduced their raw jeans in the perspective of denim and design.
It was not because I'm a big fan of raw jeans anymore but because it was the first stage of the product and they both made fashion versions of traditional jeans in a very nice way and with fantastic fabrics. I also personally love Rick Owens and was wearing his jeans for some years.
Any final words?
I'm currently working on a new project; exciting things are coming soon.

These are our two newest members. Amie Salinas on the left and Eliza Zapata on the right. These ladies will be assets to our chapter. Eliza is a member of our Board of Directors.
We had a great Christmas party at a member's house and enjoyed getting to know each other better.
Some of our members volunteered to work with Enrich Seniors and put meals together and then deliver them to the elderly on Thanksgiving. We also wrapped gifts and delivered them to their homes for Christmas.
Our Block Kids Contest was held on January 27th and we had 5 kids participate from 1st grade to 6th grade. Our head judge was an instructor with the Greater Waco Advanced Manufacturing Academy (GWAMA). Good luck to our winner in the regional contest.
For WIC Week we have several things planned. We will be touring GWAMA and Skillpoint Alliance and have our meeting at the Waco Winery. Our members will volunteer with Esther's Closet and help put up shelving in their storage room. Their vision statement is to equip and transform women to move them from poverty to self-sufficiency.
We have had speakers about using drones in the construction industry, improving women's health and charity organizations.
Looking forward to the regional meetings coming up and getting to visit with other members from around the region.
The Corpus Christi Chapter attended the ASCE meeting in January to discuss our entering the Canstruction competition. The theme was "Coastal Living". The competition was in February. We decided to build Rocky the crab who was once posted along the road in Rockport TX but sustained damage from Hurricane Harvey. We did not win, but we had a great time. I would like to thank our Engineer Member Jenna Clayton for chairing this event.
We held our Block Kids Competition at the end of January. It was very successful. We are now all ready for WIC Week. We received our proclamation on January 27, 2018. We will start with an Escape Room Game on Sunday March 4. We will attend the grand opening of Dress for Success who has a permanent home at the Sunrise Mall on March 8, 2018. We will be donating career clothing there as well. We will also be having our annual Hard Hat Walk on Saturday March 10, 2018.
The Tulsa Chapter had donated $500.00 in gift cards from Home Depot to go towards the effort to rebuild after Hurricane Harvey. After many attempts to give them to a worthy cause, we decided to give them to the AGC who has a Hurricane Harvey fund. They are rebuilding some areas in Rockport. We decided to do this during WIC Week. So, Tulsa Chapter be sure to add this to your WIC Week accomplishments. We thank you again for your generous support.
Well it is officially WIC WEEK and the Tulsa Chapter has had a Robot Tour of how concrete baskets are made, our 2nd Annual Golf Tournament is Friday and Clean a Park on Saturday.
The Tulsa Chapter has been very very busy planning for Industry Appreciation Night and Forum 2018 which will both be here before we know it and there is still so much to do. We look forward to both of these events being top notch and unforgettable.
We have several awesome speakers lined up for the next couple of months and the remainder of the year we plan to concentrate on getting the Chapter back in excitement mode and build our membership by networking and having some mixers to educate possible new members about what NAWIC is all about and in the meantime determine what the existing members want to get out of NAWIC and make it happen.
Remember you get out of NAWIC what you put into it- give it your all!
Here's to an AWESOME Year!!

Theater J Announces 2017-18 Season
The D.C. theatre's lineup will feature six new plays.
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Theater J has announced its 2017-18 season, featuring six plays.
"At divisive political times, we turn to art to help make our voices heard, to help us understand, to help us come together, and to help us heal," said artistic director Adam Immerwahr in a statement. "Theater J's season is full of life-affirming and powerful stories of resilience, joy, humor, and strength."
The season will kick off with Nilo Cruz's Sotto Voce (Oct. 3-29), about a young Cuban man's research into the fate of the S.S. St. Louis, a ship of Jewish refugees that fled Nazi Germany. José Carrasquillo will direct.
Next up will be The Last Night of Ballyhoo (Nov. 29-Dec. 31), by Alfred Uhry, about a group of posh German Jews preparing for their annual lavish country club ball called the "Ballyhoo" in 1939. Amber McGinnis will direct.
Following will be Everything Is Illuminated (Jan. 11-Feb. 4, 2018), adapted by Simon Block from the book by Jonathan Safran Foer, about a young man who sets out to find the woman who might have saved his grandmother from the Nazis. Aaron Posner will direct.
The season will continue with Mark St. Germain's Becoming Dr. Ruth (Feb. 21-March 18, 2018), a comedy about a woman who flees the Nazis and becomes America's favorite sex therapist. Naomi Jacobson will star, and Holly Twyford will direct.
Next will be Karen Hartman's Roz and Ray (April 3-29, 2018), a medical drama that documents a devastating chapter of medical and queer history. Immerwahr will direct.
The season will close out with Trayf (May 30-June 24, 2018), by Lindsay Joelle, about a man who lives a double life as a foot soldier by day and a roller-skating, disco-dancing, rock-n-roll fan by night. Benjamin Kamine will direct.
Theater J, founded in 1990, is a program of the Edlavitch JCC of D.C. and produces thought-provoking plays and musicals that celebrate Jewish culture.

I remember the first time I read Night—in high school. I was moved by Elie Wiesel's words, but I was also distracted by high school naivety and the superficiality of my very safe, very stable bubble. Night impacted my 17-year-old soul, but not nearly as much as it would in the later years of my life. I had yet to comprehend the true impact this great man was having on my world. I had yet to accept his challenge of standing against injustice with my voice and actions.
Eight years later, I became the teacher of Night to my own high school students. I remember re-reading it as an adult and preparing for my lessons. Would my students understand the magnitude of this work? Would they comprehend that he himself was a teenage boy when he entered Auschwitz? Would they be able to imagine the horror of it all and why it was so important that he wrote his story and told the world? Would they feel what I wanted them to feel, and understand how relevant Elie Wiesel's words were in their own lives?
And now I think about Elie Wiesel's life and his work, from the perspective of a mother. I think about the mothers of the Holocaust whose children were ripped from their arms. I think of Elie Wiesel's own mother, sent immediately to the gas chamber with his sister, as her life was deemed worthless. I think of the children who prayed for their mothers' comforting arms and never felt their embrace again. I think of the mothers and fathers and children sent to their deaths because they were Jewish. Or disabled. Or homosexual. Or unworthy of life for any myriad of reasons.
I am no longer a classroom teacher; I am instead a writer who discusses issues of social justice. I write about those who are oppressed. Who are victimized. And I often wonder if it's enough. Is anyone even reading this? I ask myself. What if I am attacked in the comments? I worry. Do I have a tough enough skin to tackle such controversial issues? Am I brave enough to sit at my computer and put my thoughts out there, regardless of the consequences?
And then I had my answer. The truth is, I am not brave enough to handle vicious verbal attacks from those who read my words—from those who express bigotry or racism or hatred. But it's not about being brave. It's about knowing that silence is just as dangerous. And it is about fighting for humanity, for a better world for my children and for your children.
So here is our charge. This is where Elie Wiesel's legacy lives on. It is up to me, as a mother, a teacher, a writer, to witness in the only way I know how—by telling his story and by standing for those who are victimized today, in my lifetime. For those who are hunted as the Jews were hunted. For those who are targeted and whose dignity and safety is stripped away from them by hate and fear. I will not be silent.
I will witness for you, Elie Wiesel. May you rest in the peace you so greatly deserve.

McAuley, Paul J
(1955- ) UK biologist and author who began publishing work of genre interest with "Wagon, Passing" in Asimov's for June 1984; his best shorter work has been assembled as The King of the Hill and Other Stories (coll 1991), The Invisible Country (coll 1996), Little Machines (coll 2005) and the comprehensive A Very British History: The Best Science Fiction of Paul McAuley (coll 2013), ranging with a sharp but loyal eye through various ways of telling sf, more frequently than with his novels in terms of Satire. He has also written under the name Sean Flynn (see Games Workshop). With his first novel, Four Hundred Billion Stars (1988), he launched conspicuously into the far-reaching Re-United Nations sequence (sometimes known as the Four Hundred Billion Stars series) which, combining Space-Opera plots and cosmological speculations, fruitfully amalgamated influences from both US and UK traditions: H G Wells and Larry Niven consort, if sometimes uncomfortably, in these tales of interstellar warfare, world-building and universe-creation. Further volumes are Of the Fall (1989; vt Secret Harmonies 1989) and the very substantial Eternal Light (1991), which best exemplifies to date McAuley's control over the instruments of 1990s Hard SF: Wormholes; Faster Than Light travel, anti-agathic Drugs to attain various versions of Immortality, Genetic Engineering and Cosmology on the hugest scale. The series itself ostensibly concerns the attempts of an almost fatally wearied corporation-run Earth – reminiscent of Cordwainer Smith – to fend off the panicked aggressions of an ancient starfaring species, itself hiding from enemies of its own ilk; but the pleasures of this ongoing sequence seem more and more to lie in the increasingly comprehensive physical history of the entire Universe adumbrated in Eternal Light (see Transcendence).
The next three novels are singletons, and represent a further increase in narrative control (if McAuley has had a recurring fault, it lies in the offhanded way his tales sometimes convey so many notions that some die half-worded). Red Dust (1993) is set, like many 1990s novels, on a Mars which has been colonized (and Terraformed) by humans. His treatment of this dominant theme – in terms of a quest plot which takes its American protagonist across a complex landscape ruled by the Chinese – is vivid, swift and spontaneous-seeming. Pasquale's Angel (1994) is an Alternate History story set in a Renaissance Italy dominated by the remote figure of Leonardo da Vinci, who in this reality has created a Dystopian society through the power of his engineering genius. Fairyland (1995), which won the Arthur C Clarke Award and the John W Campbell Memorial Award, examines a Near Future Cyberpunk world transformed by the use of Genetic Engineering to create an underclass of Dolls who function as gene slaves (see Slavery), while a ludicrously privileged elite benefits from sophisticated Nanotechnologies.
McAuley's most powerful fiction to date may be the Book of Confluence sequence – it is in fact one sustained novel in three volumes: Child of the River: The First Book of Confluence (1997), Ancients of Days: The Second Book of Confluence (1998) and Shrine of Stars: The Third Book of Confluence (1999), all three assembled as Confluence (omni 2000; rev 2014), the 2014 version being definitive – a long, crafty Far Future tale built around the gradual unpacking of the nature of the World Ship called Confluence: a vastly elongated Archipelago-like platform, 20,000 kilometres long, built over a great keel, at the heart of which a great engine awaits the command to awaken; dominated by a dying river; irradiated by the manipulating presence – via Avatars – of the Forerunner species responsible for its construction aeons earlier as an ark where new species may develop (see Biology; Evolution; Genetic Engineering; Time Abyss). The protagonist's blood – which contains agents whose function is to create new species when it is drunk (see Religion) – transfigures him into a Messiah figure; but unlike the Severian of Gene Wolfe's immense Sun sequence, starting with The Shadow of the Torturer (1980), of which the Book of Confluence is to some degree a Parody, McAuley's Yamamanama is a secular Messiah.
After the honed exorbitance of the Book of Confluence, McAuley published several Near Future technothrillers, usually focusing on biotech threats of Disaster to the planet: the best of these may be The Secret of Life (2001), in which microbial life from Mars has been brought back to Earth by the Chinese, who take insufficient care to contain it; Whole Wide World (2001), which reflects (or predicts) the consequences of the 9/11 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York in terms (presciently) of a worldwide increase in low-grade intimidation, information control through constant surveillance, and high anxiety in general; and White Devils (2004), a Heart-of-Darkness tale (see Joseph Conrad) set in Africa, where a deadly haemorrhagic influenza and a deadly Invasion of the eponymous monsters (feral monkeys gengineered from human stock) almost fatally coincide. More recently, however, he has moved back into the kind of venue he had earlier occupied: Cowboy Angels (2007) combines elements of the noir thriller and a complex narrative involving Time Loops and Parallel Worlds. The Jackaroo sequence beginning with Something Coming Through (2015) and Into Everywhere (2016), mostly set in a Near Future London, traces the impact on the world of the arrival of Aliens bearing – it seems – gifts: including access to several planets containing mysterious artefacts (see Time Abyss). As the series progresses, the effects of these "benevolent" acts of apparent Uplift increasingly convey a sense of the precariousness of any world to come. That precariousness is intensified in the Near Future Austral (2017), where Climate Change and the shamelessness of the empowered rich provide background for the search of the Genetically Engineered protagonist for some autonomy; that she is partially successful strikes, at this advanced point in McAuley's long career, a note of hope.
The Quiet War sequence, beginning with The Quiet War (2008) and Gardens of the Sun (2009), pits Earth and her allies against the Outer Planets, the complications of the long plot unravelling, at points, into a guided tour of the solar system humans may one day inherit. In the more distant sequel, In the Mouth of the Whale (2012), humanity has reached the Fomalhaut solar system in successive waves which engage in War, with the oldest, slowest Starship arriving last; set even further into the future, Evening's Empires (2013) is a revenge drama (and much else) set back in the great "gardens" (ie Asteroids, moons, planets) of the constantly transformed solar system. McAuley's passionate limning of possible futures, here and throughout his career, almost inevitably darkens at any point where his line of narrative requires him to take directly into account the human species; but Evening's Empires, which is full of characters, is humane. War of the Maps (2020), set on the outer surface of a Dyson Sphere, traces in calm but compelling detail the fantastic journey (see Fantastic Voyages) of a retired officer of the law in search of an amoral criminal (see Crime and Punishment; Villains); a central implication – that it is the journey not the arrival that counts – can readily be inferred between the lines. The use of "maps" to refer both to Genetic Engineering and to individual domains stretched across the vast sphere is revelatory. In the richly complex Far Future setting of Beyond the Burn Line (2022), what may be Posthumans an/or an entirely new species (see Evolution) must cope with a First Contact scenario, first in the offing, and then confirmed through the viewpoint of one of the visitors.

They will live an average of 10 - 15 years, though some may live over 25 years. Types of doves. It frequents woodland and terrorises garden birds, recording up to 120 species in its diet. They live all over the world, including Africa, Europe, India and the Americas. The UK's largest finch can be found in mature woodland with a mix of tree species. That said, it has declined in many areas of Britain and is now one of the hardest birds to see, spending much of its time in the canopy. Rather than fortifying the flour by adding refined gluten, at Doves Farm we blend our home-grown varieties of wheat with imported hard wheat to give the best results when baking bread. Description: White Doves are small birds, about 12" from head to tail. UK wading birds Although they might initially appear to be a group of modest-looking, speckled birds, wading birds are full of subtle beauty, clever adaptations and their own unique quirks. When it comes to cage birds, there are a vast range of options available. Also known as: bread flour. With a flash of white tail feathers and a flurry of dark-tipped wings, the Eurasian Collared-Dove settles onto phone wires and fence posts to give its rhythmic three-parted coo. Birds with larger, less adept bills such as cardinals, starlings, and grosbeaks cannot easily munch on thistle seed, and they are more likely to use other feeders and try other seeds instead. Bearing in mind just how long pet birds can live – many will live for 10+ years – it is essential to select a suitable species from the outset. They made their … Further there are lots of other dove types under each of these categories. Interestingly, the wild rock dove, which is commonly found in the wilderness, was once a domesticated dove just like town pigeons. A few Eurasian Collared-Doves were introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s. There is a very wide variety of these birds under types of doves.

The HR personnel have to perform various activities and be a moderator between the management and the employees.
The HR of today deals with both general and strategic activities. As a HR generalist he or she involves in activities right from recruitment till the retirement of the employee. Strategic activities include managerial level decisions and value enhancement for the organization. As a mediator the HR has to balance its activities keeping in mind the vision of the company.
Selection: before an employee submits his or her resume the HR has a task ahead of them. He or she needs to clearly define the job, responsibilities for each job, job descriptions etc. Once this is decided them comes fixing of salary bands for respective jobs in discussion with the top management. After this has been cut out then job posting happens for the HR to select the right candidate for the right job.
Evaluation: as said earlier the HR is a moderator between employees and management, he or she should be working hand in hand with the management. This helps them to increase productivity and improve strategies so that they can evaluate the performance of the personnel. This helps in bringing up new methods of performance appraisal system that might be more effective.
Training and Development: periodically training is necessary since no one is perfect. The HR has to continuously monitor the activities of the personnel and plan out development programs like employee relations training, technical upgrade for organization and employees, organizational changes if necessary etc.
Rewards: this is very important; sometimes it can also be motivational tool. Pay for performance what we call, the HR should support rewards with organizational aims and goals. This makes the staff happy as well as the management since they mission is also achieved. An HR should communicate well with its employees, clear and concise speech will help them to make things happen.
Sometimes the HR also needs to be a little strict when it comes to performance. He or she may also warn its employees if performance is affecting the organizational goal. In such cases the HR gives a written warning to the employees and then might ask them to quit as well. All such warnings is good to be made in written for future dispute settlement.
The HR becomes the center of all activities in an organization and thus he or she considered to be a specialist in human resource activities.


I know the title of the recipe carries a big name, but it's true, this is the BEST EVER butternut squash soup. Most butternut squash soups taste like squash puree and not much else, but this soup has so many flavors and a lot of depth. I absolutely love this stuff. It actually worked out that this recipe was my best use yet of my delivered organic produce. I ended up having the first five ingredients in last weeks box. Score! It was a sign that this soup was meant to be. One thing that I really love about this soup is that it is thick because of all the veggies in there, not because of any flour or cornstarch like most soups. If you are looking for a fabulous fall soup, look no further. This will fit the bill.
Notes: Most of your time making this recipe will be spent chopping veggies. To save some time, you can buy packages of pre-chopped butternut squash at the store. It will cost a little more but will shave off quite a bit of prep time.
This soup can be made vegetarian but cutting out the bacon and replacing the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
You can use a hand mixer or blender to process the mixture. The hand mixer will give you a slightly chunkier soup and the blender will give you a really smooth one. If you use a hand mixer be sure you don't use a non-stick pot, as the hand mixer will destroy it. If using a blender you will need to do it in batches. I recommend placing a towel over the top of your blender and holding the lid firmly in place as the heat will make the lid blow off and it makes a huge hot mess and can burn you if not secured.
In a large soup pot, cook bacon over medium-high heat.
Remove bacon and drain off grease leaving 2 tbsp in the bottom of the pot.
Sauté onions and carrots in the bacon drippings for about 5 minutes.
Add in the celery, apples, and garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Add in the squash and broth.
Bring pot to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes or until all produce is fork tender.
Using a hand mixer or blender process the mixture until smooth. (See above note) If you use a blender return the soup to the pot.
Stir in the lime juice, honey, salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and whipping cream.
Simmer soup for 10–15 minutes or until thickened.
Using a ladle serve the soup into a bowl and top with crumbled bacon and a dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream.

Deutsche Oper Berlin hosts a different 'Nibelungen'
Midway through the Deutsche Oper Berlin's spring cycles of Der Ring des Nibelungen, the opera house in Charlottenburg took a break from Wagner on Tuesday to play host to the world premiere screening of the restored version of Fritz Lang's nearly five-hour-long epic The Nibelungen.
The 1924 film, which has been painstakingly and expensively restored by the FW Murnau Foundation, was screened along with the original score of Gottfried Huppertz (1887-1937) performed by the HR-Sinfonieorchester and conductor Frank Strobel, director of the European Film Philharmonic and one of Germany's leading film music experts.
One of the most prominent composers for film of the Weimar era, Huppertz wrote in a lush, late-Romantic idiom. With The Nibelungen, he evokes Wagner's take on Teutonic mythology through a highly lyrical and orchestrally expansive score that resists being imitative.
In 1920s Berlin, unable to make it as a composer of serious music, Huppertz first worked as a musician, singer and actor. Fritz Lang, a close personal friend, cast Huppertz in several of his films before asking him to write the original score for The Nibelungen, which he composed using the shooting script as a silent libretto. It was Huppertz's first major project and his surefootedness and mastery of orchestration is nothing short of remarkable.
The music echoes Wagner without attempting to mimic it. For instance, Huppertz's Siegfried theme bears a definite resemblance to Wagner's with its majestic upward swell; the music describing the kingdom of Worms is announced by devotional and luminous horns that might be playing an extended riff on The Ring's D-major Walhalla theme.
Huppertz is also fond of using musicians as foley artists who mimic a variety of sound effects (birdcalls, sword forging, fire-breathing dragons) and match them precisely to the onscreen action.
At the same time, Huppertz's musical language resembles Alexander von Zemlinsky, Franz Schreker, Walter Braunfels and Eugene D'Albert and other early 20th century composers whose predominantly tonal music often goes to extremes. As one of the first composers of serious music for the screen, Huppertz's importance for elevating film music to the status of art is hard to exaggerate. Though he died suddenly of a heart attack in 1937, after scoring seven subsequent films, including Lang's 1927 masterpiece Metropolis, his influence is clearly felt in the film scores work of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Waxman and Max Steiner.
The sold-out screening and performance at the Deutsche Oper (a house with a seating capacity of nearly 2000) indicates that 70 years after his death, Huppertz is finally getting his due.
