The Spinoff goes to New Zealand Fashion Week 2019
Sam Brooks and Josie Adams | Guest writer
Last week was New Zealand Fashion Week 2019. The Spinoff sent along two Fashion Week novices – culture editor Sam Brooks and staff writer Josie Adams – to cover it. Here are their wildly varying experiences of the annual fashion event.
Sam Brooks attended NZFW from Monday through to Thursday. Josie Adams attended Friday through Sunday, including Fashion Weekend.
I love the idea of fashion – but I've never actually engaged with the industry of fashion. I don't keep up with trends, I buy what I think will look good on me (bright florals, long coats, loud shoes) and ignore the rest. So the prospect of engaging with NZFW was a little bit daunting to me. I didn't know if I would have anything in my wardrobe that would fit in – shout out to Miss Crabb for dressing me in a suit that did absolutely fit in – and that I would be an obvious outsider right from the get-go.
I needn't have worried. Nobody's looking at me. People are looking at the runway, and failing that, whatever famous people happen to be in the front row, inexplicably well lit as though they're on the runway as well. I realise, belatedly, that this is why front-row celebs are dressed for fashion week – they're just part of the show.

The first show of the week, Kate Sylvester, also sets up what will inevitably be the routine for the week: Go to Aotea Square, figure out what venue around the Town Hall the show is in. Spend fifteen minutes in line, then ten minutes being seated, and sit for a roughly eight minute show. As a theatre person, who is used to showing up five minutes before the doors close, so I don't have to talk to anybody, and who is similarly used to shows either being a civilized 50 minutes or an absolutely barbaric 75 minutes, it's hard to get used to this new rhythm.
This is especially true when the shows feel so enormously high stakes – one eight minute window to show everybody who might want to partake in one year's worth of your art-slash-business. It's stressful even watching this as an observer with no money or art in the game.
As the show starts, the theatre person in me starts to critique intensely. Not the clothes – I couldn't tell you the difference between a wrap and a shawl. The actual production of the show. In the main space of Fashion Week, the Runway, the seating is raked so poorly that you can barely get a good view of the garments unless you're in the front row – which is fine if you've got a blue tick next to your Instagram handle, but for the rest of us peasants, it makes for an awkward viewing experience.
An elfin man at the end of the runway puts pieces of paper (Kate Sylvester's line is called Love Letters, a tribute to her parent's courtship) in front of a Beyonce fan to flap limply on the runway. I shook my head sympathetically – if only he had a few more rehearsals.
Before the big clock in the square dongs nine times, everybody is spilling back towards the bar in the Town Hall – the stars (Antonia, Kanoa), the ghosts (various cancelled people) and the ghouls (Jevan, Hannah). The clothes seem all but forgotten. / SB
On Tuesday morning I go to Jojo Ross in the Concert Chamber – and it's here that I have to commend Fashion Week for their use of the Town Hall, which gives the entire event a borrowed grandeur just thanks to the beauty of the venue's architecture – and while the space is smaller, it's a no less tense affair. On one side of me, a woman casually chats to me about where she's from (The Frock Shop, Kapiti Coast) and what they do. She rattles off 'sustainable, ethical, New Zealand made', which feel like the words du jour. It'd be an interesting, if unpopular, point of difference if someone was vocally into unsustainable, unethical and internationally made clothing.
On the other side of me, a woman tries to get photos of the show and gives up when she can't get a good angle. It's a reminder of how high stakes these shows are – one woman not getting good photos could be the difference between some of these garments ending up on a store shelf, and then in a wardrobe, somewhere and not.
It's here that I start to get used to the bizarre practice of watching a runway show. That is, the feeling of 'my fashion is down here' rather than 'my eyes are up here.' I find myself more drawn into looking at the models' faces – performing anything from blankness to fierceness (starkly different from you know, ferocity) to a neutral warmth – than the garments they're wearing. There's also the strangeness of watching this happen in real time, rather than in a photo slideshow – it's not just a photo of a person's face that you're not looking at, but a real life person sharing your oxygen and carbon dioxide. But it's not about that. It's about the clothes.

That night I go to Hailwood, in the main tent, and it's the first – and only – event of the week that I go to that feels like the platonic, stereotypical ideal of a fashion runway. There's a live musician – Annabel Liddell – playing some appealing pop-rock tracks. There's a little short film beforehand – a mannequin comes to life in Hailwood's K'Rd store, and for some reason decides to spend her time on the North Shore. Famous women are mixed in with the models – Sonia Gray, Theresa Healey, Geeling Ng. The one outlier is when a mother chewing gum waves at one of the models on the runway, probably her daughter. In a week full of fashion and walking, it's the one moment that dips into pageantry.
But even then? The wait in line was long, made even longer by the woman explaining to a rightfully disengaged usher that her mother 'had left her ticket in the bathroom at the Stables'. Ten minutes all up, and then couple of hundred people spill out into Aotea Square, clutching goodie bags with a bizarre array of freebies (cat food, popcorn, face mask samples, for one show a copy of Hannah August's No Country for Old Maids?).
A man (cis, white, straight – the unholy trifecta) walking behind me says loudly of Geeling Ng: "Was that old China Doll?"
His partner, who I have to assume is permanently aggrieved says, "It's China Girl, and she has a name." / SB

The Graduate Show was a blur to me – I'm seated in general admission, which means that the usher let you in after everybody else has been seated and it's a free-for-all for whatever seats are left, and if you're especially lucky you might get a seat with a freebie bag on it. As with any rush for free stuff, people handle themselves with less decorum than they would at the bowling alley bar that overlooks this very tent. Kyra Thomson and E33 are highlights, according to my notes.
As I leave, the woman sitting next to me, who spent the duration of the show complaining that she couldn't find a coffee in the CBD to save her life, says that it was "for [her] taste, a bit avant garde".

Later that afternoon, I go to Juliette Hogan. The same deal – fifteen minute line, ten minute wait to be seated, eight minute show. It's unfortunately the only offsite show I manage to attend, which is a shame given that the murmurs and whispers indicate that those are the most exciting shows. Hogan's show is in an idyllic warehouse in Morningside nextdoor to their workshop, all the gowns and models on display throughout, moving amongst each other. While its the most clearly staged and blocked out of any of the shows I saw that week, there was something realistic about it – garments and fashion don't exist in isolation, they exist in relation to each other, and seeing an entire collection for the duration of a show actually existing together in the same space felt right.
As the show finishes, a woman whispers to who I assume is Hogan herself: "Do I clap?"
Designer Bobby Campbell thanks the audience following the Campbell Luke show during New Zealand Fashion Week 2019.
An hour and a half later, Campbell Luke, which was the first show of the week that I'd been to that had a significant amount of POC in the audience. It was also one of the few shows that felt like a celebration of the fashion, and the designer. People were cheering and clapping, the live music (a high school performing waiata, closing off with a haka that the audience joined in on) and the general attitude toward what was going on onstage was electric. This was a supportive crowd, and even though the first I'd heard and seen of this designer was that runway, it was hard not to get invested in it.
Isn't this what the week is meant to be about? Celebrating fashion as much as it is selling fashion? / SB
Even by Thursday, I was exhausted. I have no idea how the likes of Sarah Stuart, head stylist at Mediaworks and NZFW Ambassador, does it. She was at nearly every single show I was at, dressed and made up to the elevens, sitting in the front row, smiling, and diligently taking photos. Meanwhile, I was exclaiming to unsympathetic friends every night how much I didn't expect it to take out of me. "Go eat your free cat food" was the general timbre of the response.

The first of the two shows I went to was Cecilia Kang x Face Me Makeup, where I ended up being shunted into the front row. It was the only couture show I attended and it made me want to see more of them. If the graduate show was too avant-garde for my coffee-deprived seat mate from Wednesday, then this would've blown her mind. Kang's work was big, beautiful and statement-making – this fashion is for people who want to stand out for themselves, not stand in with the rest. (Read an excellent profile of Kang by our own Jihee Junn right here.)
The second was the Miromoda show – a half-hour showcase of Māori designers that ranges from avant-garde to streetwear to, as Aretha Franklin would say, 'gowns, beautfiul gowns'. It was the perfect end to the week to me, being one of the few shows to break the length of your average Shortland Street episode, and the one of the few shows where I found myself taking down notes of designers not just for my memory, but because I wanted to wear them. Nash Karaitiana (profiled here by Alice Webb-Liddell), Cheremene Castie, Tash Sinclair (that orange coat!), Te Oribau Karaitiana, Nichola Te Kiri – you're on my radar.

As I rushed home from the main tent, I considered my own relationship to fashion. I'd worn Miss Crabb that week. I'd worn a custom jacket that I'd bought from my best friend's sister at a pop-up gallery. I'd worn the free socks I got in my Fashion Week delegate pack. I'd worn a shitton of ASOS. I was wearing a lot of what I thought would make me fit in, but realised that amongst a lot of the men it still made me stand out – not a lot of white canvas at fashion week – and I liked how that made me feel.
As much as it is a business, and I'm leaving it to Josie to do the dragging on that front, fashion is something that we all inevitably participate in to some extent. And if we're going to do it, we might as well feel good about our participation. / SB
Weirdly, NZFW is technically over. After four days we enter New Zealand Fashion Weekend, which is more accessible to the public and a little more fun, or so I was led to believe. I spent the morning fuming over a social sustainability seminar.
The Ministry of Social Development is one of Fashion Week's "elite partners," which is a subject that deserves an entire article of its own. They sponsored a Socially Sustainable Business event. Encouraging social entrepreneurship is just the government worming out of doing its job and I will not endorse it. Social entrepreneurship is a tiny bandaid on a hemophilic wound (capitalism) and I am willing to enjoy some haute couture but I am not willing to pretend it's benefitting New Zealand citizens in any way but aesthetics.
The seminar was targeted at business leaders in the fashion industry, and discussed poverty in New Zealand, the rising cost of living, and an absence of job opportunities. Yes, businesses should be morally responsible for their actions, but the government is responsible for making them do that and sorry, MSD, but a fashion week seminar is not how you make businesses pay their employees a living wage.
I confess I did not see most of this seminar as I was boiling over with socialist rage. Instead of the Zambesi anniversary show I went to The Others Way. I realise now this was a neglection of my duties and I am very sorry to you but mostly to Sam, who I have let down. / Josie Adams
There was another sustainability seminar today, but this time about the environment. The Sustainability Conversation is part of NZFW's environmental sustainability focus, one that's well overdue and very welcome. The international fashion industry literally burns billions of dollars of goods every year. Yes, they set it on fire. Fashion houses from Nike to Burberry would rather pile their unsold clothes and accessories high and burn them into ash than let poor people have a go with them. The given reason for burning clothes is that they need to clear the market for new lines. It goes without saying that this is very bad for the environment (but I said it anyway).
I'm not saying Kate Sylvester is burning garments once a season passes, but I will point out it's one of the brands that opted out of Tearfund New Zealand's annual ethical fashion report this year.

In cuter news, today was the Farmers' Kids Fashion Show. The same runway Zambesi's 40th anniversary show had strutted down the night before was filled with models from just one year old up to 16, all showcasing the newest lines. The clothes are fine, I guess. Children's clothing designers often assume anyone under 16 has bad taste, and that was as clear here as it is in any Pumpkin Patch catalogue.
The kids were having more fun than any adult models had all week. The tweens nailed their choreography, and the younger models were stoked to be dressed in something other than Fe-Cál Kids.
The runway shows on Sunday were curated with the general public in mind. Stylists at the K' Road Presents show and the Fashion in the Heart of the City show hand-picked garments from local designers that paired together for some sick street style looks. I did not know Hailwood could be bought on K Road.

Heart of the City brought in stylist to the stars Kylie Cooke who, the event blurb brags, has been associated with Orlando Bloom. I was not aware Mr Bloom was a fashion icon, but I could see him in the Zambesi/Liam/Karen Walker/Adidas combinations Cooke threw together.
The day started with a pop-up designer sale, but I have put it at the end of the diary because that's where it should have been on the schedule. I love a bargain, but they're even juicier after getting a mad thirst from the Aotea Square runway.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the new film from Let The Right One In director Tomas Alfredson featuring a ridiculous amount of acting talent, is looking like more than your average prestige fall movie. Based on John le Carre's novel of the same name, the movie stars Gary Oldman as a former British spy brought back into the game to root out a mole in his own organization; the movie's first poster played off both these selling points, featuring Oldman in profile, made completely out of code that, when analyzed, revealed key character names and even the movie's release date. Paired with a newly released, energetic and mysterious trailer and you've got a mystery you're dying to unravel before you even know the details.
Now the code treatment has spread to two of the film's other main characters, played by Tom Hardy and Colin Firth. The posters, which debuted at Sky and can also be seen below, give you a chain of numbers that leads to the actor's name in very small print; there are also seemingly random words thrown in there, from "tinker" and "Smiley" to "mole" and even "witchcraft." Fans of the novel may enjoy decoding it, but for right now I'm going with the mystery.
And speaking of mystery, does Tom Hardy not look weirdly like Brad Pitt in Moneyball in this poster, with the floppy blond hair? Look at this image and tell me they couldn't at least be brothers on some kind of mission together. And even if you're not down with my theory, take a look at the two new posters below and click for the respective giant versions at Spy. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy comes to theaters in the United States on November 18, but will premiere first at the Venice Film Festival if you happen to find yourself in Italy come early September.

Japanese Culture Night at Dooley Elementary School
• "Japanese Culture Night" was held at Dooley Elementary School in Schaumburg on March 6, and Japanese calligraphy, karate, kimono dressing, and origami entertained the visitors. There were also games, a Kato railroad model exhibit, food, and a silent auction related to Japanese flavored goods. The seventh annual event was hosted by Schaumburg Oyanokai, which means parents' organization.
• Dooley is well-known for dual language programs including Japanese-English dual education. However, no high school in the area offers Japanese classes, so a sign-up petition sheet was set up at the entrance to request that these classes be added.
• Japanese Culture Night welcomed Dooley's Principal Beth Erback, Superintendent Andrew DuRoss of School District 54, Schaumburg Sister City Committee, Koji Kaneko from Consulate General of Japan, Principal Nobuyuki Ozaki of Futabakai Saturday School, and members from Chicago Japanese Club and Japan America Society of Chicago.
• The special guests for the night were 29 students from Ritsumeikan Moriyama High School in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. They introduced their school's original dance, which was good for warming up for physical exercises. They also enjoyed conversations through calligraphy or games with the visitors.
• According to teacher Nobuya Tsubosaka, the high school has five different courses of field trip abroad, and the students can choose one from Vancouver, Seattle, Sydney, Tasmania, or Chicago.
• Another teacher, Ippei Ban, said that the school started an exchange program with Chicago four years ago and has visited Glenbrook South High School in Glenview for these two years. During their two-week stay, the students are able to experience not only meeting people in the host school and with host families, but also doing internships in five firms. The firms are Japan Airlines' Chicago office, Shaw's Crab House, the Museum of Science and Industry, Tomy, and Rapid Direction, which produces 3D printers. Each firm assigned a theme, and a group of students is going to make a presentation along with the theme.
• Teacher Ban has had a teaching experience in Thailand and said, "We have recognized that our students grow further when they are given learning environments." He also said, "I feel closeness about American students because many of them are studying Japanese. Our students want to learn English, and American students want to learn Japanese. I hope that the students on both sides could make a good match. I appreciate having this good opportunity."
• Moe Masui, leader of the visiting group, chose the Chicago course because it was well organized and provided an internship opportunity. She has been working for Rapid Direction, and her group is going to make a presentation on how to promote 3D printers in Japan.
• Masui said, "Chicago is an energetic city and gives me power, so I've been spending days with a fulfillment. My host family is very kind to me, so I've been really enjoying every day in Chicago."
• Hiraki Yamaguchi chose the Chicago course because he heard about exciting internship experiences from students who visited Chicago last year. He said, "I didn't have clear dream, so I thought that internship experiences would give me some ideas. Now I'm thinking of a job in something related with overseas."
• Yuki Konishi had participated in an overseas exchange program before coming to Chicago and said, "I was interested in making a presentation in a company. It is a very high-level program."
• His host family consisted of only a father. He said, "I'm comfortable talking with him. I'm delighted because the father does anything for me, whatever I asked him. My English was not so good at the beginning, but gradually I became comfortable talking with him day by day. I love music, so I want to be a music engineer in the future."
• Yamaguchi and Konishi are doing internships at the Museum of Science and Industry. Yamaguchi said, "The Museum is going to open an exhibit of robot revolutions in Osaka and Tokyo. So we are going to suggest how the exhibit can be successful and the ways of promoting it."
• Konishi said, "My school has made the same suggestion every year. The Museum gave us the same theme, and I think that we have to do something different, but it's not easy. We are going to discuss about new things this weekend and make a presentation on Monday."
• Saya Onishi said she was not good at English, but she was lucky because a daughter of her host family, who took Japanese classes at Glenbrook South, helped her a lot. She said, "I was frustrated because I couldn't communicate well with the mother and father. I'm really thinking that I'll study English vigorously when I return to Japan. Now I think that I want to work overseas and want to do something for people."

› Continue in Love and Sacrifice
Continue in Love and Sacrifice
"My heart is filled with joy. I plead with you all to raise your children in the New Apostolic faith. Live in love and be willing to sacrifice for the church, for God will richly bless you. The work of salvation is not for Ministers alone, everyone has a part to play in the house of God. Be your brother's keeper." With these words, Community Evangelist Ohene began his farewell message to the congregation on Sunday 31 October 2021.
Lead Apostle Benjamin Ohene-Saffo expressed the church's profound appreciation to Community Evangelist Ohene for his many years of service to the church in the capacities of Deacon, Priest, Community Evangelist and Deputy Rector all in the Gbawe congregation. "Thank you for the good work you have done. We cannot be able to pay you for that work. To the family that stood behind you, especially your wife, all the days she had to endure and give you strength has not been in vain. The Lord will continue to bless and protect your household. And as a minister of the Lord, the blessing will transcend in all your generations."
Community Evangelist Samuel Ohene joined the New Apostolic Church on 11th April 1994. He was adopted and holy sealed into the faith by the late Apostle Isaac Nantwi Kankam. He, later on, joined the Gbawe congregation where retired Shepherd Nartey had opened the new congregation of the church.
Community Evangelist Ohene joined Shepherd Nartey to evangelize for the church at Gbawe. He was ordained as a Deacon and he willingly took charge of the Sunday School. He was ordained as a Priest in 2002 and a Community Evangelist in 2013, a position he held until his retirement.
He worked under Shepherd Nartey, Shepherd Asamoah and Shepherd Lamptey in the capacity of Deputy Rector. When the congregation started a basic school for the children in the community, Community Evangelist Ohene did all he could to impart the New Apostolic doctrine to the children. The names of Shepherd Nartey and Community Evangelist Ohene were written in gold when talking about the then New Apostolic Preparatory School at Gbawe.
He recalled the last visit of late Apostle I.N. Kankam to the Gbawe congregation. In his final words, the late Apostle Kankam told the then Shepherd Nartey and the ministers: "Live a life of sacrifice to God in His Church. This a voluntary task with no monetary remuneration, but God will bless you and grant you all your needs". C.E. Ohene thanked former rector, Shepherd Nartey, for sacrificing his time and money in ensuring the congregation has a church building. He also thanked Shepherd Asamoah, Shepherd Lamptey and the entire congregation for their support.
He recounted an incident when his wife had traveled. He was alone in the house reminiscing the fufu and groundnut soup with beef his wife would have served him if she was in the house. One day after church service, the wife of the Shepherd Nartey invited him home. She served him his favourite fufu and groundnut soup with beef to the amazement of Community Evangelist Ohene. "How did you know this food is my favourite?" He questioned. She responded: "we, the ministers' wives, love, communicate and look out for each other".
In his final words: "Let love and sacrifice remain in this church. Live in unity for we shall all go to Heaven. Live in harmony with your wives for wives are helpers. I love my wife and I thank her for supporting me all these years in the ministry. Do more than the work I did, and make the congregation stand. I leave you with the peace of Jesus Christ and I will continue to attend divine services. May God bless you all, bye"

Greening the NFL – Teams and Stadiums
Besides wondering if the Raiders will ever win another Super Bowl, the start of the NFL season got me thinking, "how green are NFL teams, stadiums, and fans?"
I decided to investigate. This first of two posts is focused on NFL teams and stadiums and the second on NFL fans.
NFL teams and stadiums are businesses and like any for-profit business, their goal is to make money. The two most likely motivators for NFL teams and stadiums to implement green practices and make green infrastructure improvements are money and good public relations. Let us talk money.
The National Football League is a Money Making Machine
With the exception of the publicly owned Green Bay Packers, NFL teams are owned by ultra-wealthy individuals or small groups. Three stadiums are owned by team owners (Washington, New England, and Miami). Cities, counties, and states own the balance of stadiums and lease them to the teams.
Gillette Stadium – New England Patriots
NFL revenue sources include media deals (50% or more of total revenue), ticket sales, parking, and concessions, licensing and merchandise (hats, t-shirts, electronic games), sponsorship (think Pepsi, Bud, McDonalds), and stadium naming rights (e.g. Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots).
According to the Sports Business Journal, the NFL raked in $9.5 billion in revenue in 2012.1 Forbes reported that during the 2012 season average operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) was up 7% from 2011 to $44 million.2
The Dallas Cowboys franchise, owned by Jerry Jones, has an estimated value of $2.1 billion and was ranked by Forbes as the 5th most valuable sports team in the world. All but 2 of the NFL's 32 teams ranked in the top 50 (they were 51 and 52).3
Clearly, the NFL is a money-making enterprise.
Greening NFL Teams and Stadiums
Do the billionaire NFL team owners care about saving a few million bucks here and there by greening their own operations? Maybe, maybe not, but I cannot imagine them being opposed to good PR.
NFL stadium owners have a lot to gain both financially and environmentally by implementing green practices and making green infrastructure improvements. Putting on an NFL game for 70,000 fans requires huge amounts of electricity, gas, water, food, drink, paper, and plastic. Those 70,000 people generate a mountain of waste. Even though there are only 8 to 12 NFL games played in home stadiums each year, stadiums host other events and must keep their baseline facility running on off days.
Expertise and money are available to NFL teams and stadiums that want to go green. The Green Sports Alliance, Natural Resources Defense Council, and United States Green Building Council provide technical advice and best practices. Corporate sponsors and other companies contribute personnel and funding to support green programs and pay for green building improvements.
Greening Teams
Some NFL teams are greening their operations, offices, and training facilities by installing energy efficient light bulbs and motion sensors, purchasing recycled content paper and plastic, using green cleaning products, recycling, and switching from paper to online marketing materials. Some teams are purchasing carbon offsets for travel and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to offset energy use.
Green Stadium Operations
In 2011, Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, became the first NFL stadium to receive LEED-EB certification.4 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a green building rating system created by the United States Green Building Council. The EB stands for existing building. LEED-EB certification recognizes existing buildings not only for their green building features but also for maintaining green daily operations. A truly green building is green throughout its lifecycle.
The short video below shows some of Soldier Fields' green features such as energy efficient lighting, building automation controls, green parking garage roof, electric vehicle plug-in stations, dual flush toilets, recycling, and sustainable landscaping.
Stadium Renewable Energy
In a recent interview with GreenSportsBlog, Christina Weiss Lurie, co-owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, talked about the team's Go Green campaign which was launched when Lincoln Financial Field opened in 2003. It began with recycling and expanded from there. The stadium now has 11,000 solar panels and 14 wind turbines that provide 30% of its power needs. The balance is purchased through Renewable Energy Credits.5
Lincoln Financial Field – Philadelphia Eagles
Renewable energy is the low-hanging fruit for NFL stadiums. Energy companies are willing to pay for solar panel and wind turbine installations to get their name and product in front of the public. The stadium benefits from reduced energy costs, the team saves money and gets good PR, and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is good for the planet.
Two Stadiums in One
In 2009, MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Giants and New York Jets, partnered with the U.S. EPA.6 The teams and stadium owner committed to incorporating environmentally friendly materials and methods into the construction of the new stadium that opened in 2010 and to build green practices into its daily operation.
MetLife Stadium – New York Giants and New York Jets
Tons of construction materials and waste were diverted from landfills and reused on site or recycled during construction of the new stadium and demolition of the old one. Native plants, waterless urinals, and low flow plumbing fixtures reduce water use. A solar panel and LED lighting ring around the stadium is energy efficient and changes color depending on which team is playing. Waste is reduced through recycling and composting programs. A light rail line brings fans right to the stadium. 7, 8
The environmental impact of renovating or building a new stadium is significant and must be included when evaluating its "greenness." MetLife Stadium which houses two teams instead of just one is perhaps the greenest of all NFL stadiums.
Greening NFL teams and stadiums seem to be in the early stages with some teams "getting it" more than others. We'll explore greening NFL fans in the next post.

The beautiful and tranquil Quince Tree Cafes are both nestled amongst the stunning grounds of Clifton Nurseries. A serene space to sip your morning coffee, grab a fresh smoothie, meet your friends for afternoon tea, or grab some lunch in-between buying some new pot plants.
A true culinary gem serving mouth watering dishes and a yummy selection of cakes. They have a great offering of healthy meals too. My favourites were the grilled peaches in greek yoghurt & the smashed avocado with pumpkin seeds and chilli – both absolutely delicious!
The atmosphere is busting and friendly, as you bask in the natural and light relaxing space. Especially as you are surrounded by beautiful plants and lots of colourful flowers.
Amy, one of the owners, loved the idea of my four seasons photography package. You buy your hours upfront, and use them as you wish throughout the entire year. Meaning they will get new images of their food, as their dishes change throughout the seasons. From fresh smoothies in the summer to hot soups in winter.
I had a great time photographing my way through their entire menu, and tasting a little of each dish as I went! Oh how I love the perks of being a food photographer!
Take a peek at all their new images in action on their Instagram & Facebook pages.
Thank you for your wonderful words Amy, I look forward to our Winter shoot!


Pancreas maintain blood glucose level and help in digestion. Learn more about the various functions and disorders of this organ.
Anatomically, the pancreas is 6 inches long and is situated at the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. It has two kinds of tissues. While the endocrine tissues release insulin, somatostatin, and glucagon, the exocrine tissues release pancreatic juice. The hormones help regulate the blood glucose level.
Pancreas also acts as an exocrine gland, and secretes pancreatic juice and digestive enzymes to ensure proper digestion. Alpha, beta, and gamma cells make up the islets of Langerhans, which are scattered throughout the pancreas.
The insulin-producing beta cells make up around 65 to 80% of cells in the islets of Langerhans, while alpha cells that secrete glucagon make up 22% of the cells. The remaining gamma cells secrete somatostatin, which inhibits secretion of other pancreatic secretions. These hormones are crucial in the development of our body.
The gland is located close to the stomach and has two main functions. Along with the production of hormones, it plays a vital role in the process of metabolism.
The 2 main functions of this gland are to regulate blood sugar or glucose levels in the bloodstream with the hormones insulin and glucagon, and facilitate digestion by secreting digestive enzymes.
The first function of regulating the blood glucose levels in the body is carried out with the help of the alpha and beta cells, which secrete the glucagon and insulin respectively. When the blood sugar rises, insulin does the job of converting the extra blood glucose into glycogen, which is used as an energy reservoir.
When the blood glucose falls below normal, the alpha cells which synthesize glucagon, convert glycogen into glucose from the reserve in the liver, which is then released in the bloodstream. Therefore, diabetes and other health problems are regulated in this manner.
The pancreas produces a digestive enzyme called the pancreatic juice. When the food is broken down into pieces by the digestive system, it reaches the duedonum. Here the pancreatic juices coming from the pancreatic duct mix with the food and break it down into fragments. These fragments are then absorbed by the small intestine and assimilated.
Hormones are a very important part of our body and all the major functions of the body depend on the production of these hormones. When there is an imbalance in the production of these hormones due to some abnormalities within the gland, it affects the entire body.
A few such problems observed due to such hormonal imbalance are pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes.
Pancreatitis is a condition that is characterized by the inflammation of the pancreas. This usually happens when there is malfunctioning of the digestive enzymes and they start digesting the gland itself.
Pancreatic cancer is another dreaded disease. Organ contains many types of cells and each of them can get affected by different type of cancer. Since, it doesn't show any prominent symptoms, the cancer reaches advanced stage by the time it is discovered. If the cancer grows out of control, it can lead to death. Diabetics are more prone to this condition.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus which blocks the tubes of this gland, preventing them from functioning properly.
Diabetes is also another disorder caused due to the malfunctioning of this gland.
The condition of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer can be treated with the help of surgery. Although there is no cure for cystic fibrosis, new treatment options have been developed, that have increased the life expectancy.

betfred extends rugby leagues championship and league 1 sponsorship
Betfred has strengthened its commitment to the Rugby League's Championship and League 1 competitions after extending its sponsorship with the tournaments for a further two years.
As part of the sponsorship extension, the bookmaker has pledged to 'more than double' its financial contribution to the game outside of the Super League, confirming that it will sponsor all three professional tiers of the sport, including the Betfred Super League, until the end of the 2021 season.
Betfred boss Fred Done commented on the sponsorship extension: "We've enjoyed a great relationship with Rugby League and its supporters and therefore I am delighted that we are now able to further extend our sponsorship of the Championship and League 1 in line with our recent Super League and Women's Super League agreements.
"Sport provides tremendous content for our digital platforms and we are delighted that through deals like these we are able to be a part of it."
All Betfred Championship play-off games are due to be played at the home ground of the team ranked highest in the league at the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, Sky Sports will show play-off action on their various channels, as well as round-the-clock updates via the Sky Sports app and Sky Sports News.
Rugby Football League Chief Executive, Ralph Rimmer, added: "Betfred have been supporting our Championship and League 1 competitions since 2018 and I am delighted that they will continue that support for a further two years.
"Their energy and enthusiasm off the field mirrors the product on the field, where clubs and players are beginning to gear up for what will be a thrilling play-off series in two vibrant competitions."
The news follows on from the announcement that Betfred's sponsorship of Rugby League will incorporate the women's game for the first time as the inaugural title partner of the burgeoning Women's Super League (WSL).

Hi Guys, Do you mean the "Film Sizes~ Formats~ Etc.. Menu"?
If so, just tap the 3x sliders icon below the Red Camera Button to reveal the Settings Menu.
I'm a bit puzzled as to the Advanced Film Settings on the Left hand side,.. the AirCraft icon being available in ATTI mode. I have to select the "F" mode and show P~Opti in the menu fly bar symbol.
Click the icon with the AE & Padlock, this should re-enable Auto Exposure.
Nope. I know what he means.
He does have the little three sliders but where the MENU button should be, it's gone.
This threw me for a loop today when I couldn't change the video. Screwed around with it for awhile and decided to change from the iPad, which now had a dead battery, to my LG Android phone to continue the search for the MENU button.
Sure enough, there it was right at the top of the stack like it's supposed to be. Plugged the iPad back in and NO MENU button!
No, I have no idea why this is.
At least I know I wasn't seeing things when I made some camera video changes in the house the other day.
Anybody else see that with their iPad?
Whew!...thanks...Glad it's not just me not seeing the menu button.
Find a friend with an Android phone and try it.
It might be "iOS" related.
I have it on my mini iPad???
I have an I-Pad, Mini I-Pad, and and I-Phone (5s) and none of screen give me MENU screen. I do not have an non apple unit. The P4 has been around for awhile. It's hard to believe that, with apple as the partner, that this would problem. Is there any solution to this there than going out and purchase an non apple Tablet?
PS - Do P4 Apple units show the MENU on apple screen?


While still in the United States, dial *611 from your iPhone.
When you are asked what you want, say, "Unlock my Phone." The system will recognize the request.
You will be asked for youraccount password. This is a 4-6 digit pin.
You will be transferred to a general operator who does not know what your request is. Tell them you are traveling internationally and need to unlock your phone. They will probably ask you where you are going, you do not need to tell them. They will explain 1-3 from "Before you get started" above. After verifying the requirements, they will transfer you to a division of the Verizon billing department.
You will be asked for your name and phone number. This person will then perform the operation to unlock your phone. They will then try to upsell you some accessories for plugging into the wall.
You will need a micro-sim for an iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. These are not always available. A good tech shop should be able to cut a SIM card down to micro sim size. Here's a page that describes how to do itwith a die cutter.
The first time you turn on the phone, it will say the SIM is not recognized and that it will not work with the phone. You must connect your iPhone to your computer and do a sync. You apparently can do this over wifi sync or by syncing with the 30 pin / Lightning connector. From then on, the new SIM should work.
I hope this helped you free your iPhone or Android device from the clutches of your carrier. Please feel free to post in the comments if this worked for you or if you have questions or suggestions on how to improve this guide!

Q: Why is eval() unsafe, wouldn't a user on a modern browser run whatever is evaluated on it anyway? I read about the security implications of eval() however there is something I don't get. Imagine a worst case scenario in where eval() is compiling an input box. A hacker could type anything on it and it would get run, but in modern browsers eg: Chrome couldn't he do exactly the same from the console anyway?

A: Sure, but the user's goal is not to steal his own data.
The danger is that someone else succeed in bringing the malicious code somewhere he knows that an eval will occur on the user's page.
An attack exploiting such an issue is called Cross Site Scripting
An other similar security issue is directly appending HTML which might contain a script tag. For example if you do that while implementing a forum, and the users are allowed to write HTML without any restrictions, they can have script tags executing in other user's pages.

Q: C# regex capture gets two results instead of one I want to check whether an URL matches a pattern like: http://the.site.com/some/path/1234567 and simultaneously extract the last number from it.
If I do this so:
Match m = Regex.Match(url, "^http://the.site.com/some/path/(?<picid>.*?)$");
if (m.Success)
{
    log(string.Format("New download. Id={0}", m.Groups["picid"].Value));
}

it returns 2 groups. One contains http://the.site.com/some/path/1234567, the other 1234567. How to change the regex to get only one capture - the number?

A: You can use the regex flag RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture
Usage :
Regex.Match(url, "^http://the.site.com/some/path/(?<picid>.*?)$", RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture);

A: By your example you need to check if the string match and get the last digit from the string in your example is 7 do this:
            Match m = Regex.Match(url, @"^http://the.site.com/some/path/\d+$");
            if (m.Success)
            {
                int y = int.Parse(m.Value[m.Value.Length - 1].ToString());
            }

A: The Following Regex should capture only the number...
(?<=http://the.site.com/some/path/)(?<picid>.*?)$

Hi Chris - any news on the bike?
That is a shame - do you know how they stole it? There just aren't that many Vivente tourers around so do you think it was more than an opportunistic cash converters style heist? Have you replaced it with the same bike then? My new tourer is almost ready so I will definately have to up the locking methods as it will be very steal worthy!


For the IT department, and users of their systems, seamless integrated access between various applications has never been straightforward.
The cost and complexity of integrating heterogenous systems has given the prominent providers of commercial off-the-shelf enterprise systems an opportunity to offer vertically integrated enterprise application stacks.
CIOs generally prefer to buy everything they need from a single supplier, but the individual systems tend to run in silos, with no hard linkage between them.
According to analyst 451 Research, businesses now need a greater degree of automation and consistency across entire buying cycles.
In its 2016 Trends in business applications report, the analyst group says the need for consistency across the buying cycle puts pressure on the links between line-of-business applications that were never designed to be operated in this manner.
The supply chain should be linked together at each point, from customer prospecting to manufacturing to fulfilment and the associated financial transactions. "Realistically, even though progress is already under way, it will be a decade or more before the supply chain becomes truly dynamic and fully integrated," he says. The challenge for many organisations is line-of-business enterprise applications having proved inflexible and costly.
Oracle's third-quarter results for fiscal year 2017 show 2% growth in overall revenue, with cloud representing 13% of the total. Executives are bullish on cloud ERP growth prospects.
While cloud-based enterprise resource planning applications are more widely adopted in the Asia-Pacific region, some companies are still hanging on to on-premise systems that remain core to their business.
Forrester's 2016 Global business technographics software survey reports that out of 1,350 decision makers in organisations with 1,000 or more employees, 75% cited improved business agility as the top reason for moving to cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP), while 74% rated faster deployment as a major benefit. Many regard cloud-based ERP as cheaper than on-premise systems (73%), while 71% said cloud-based ERP would be easier to maintain.
In Forrester's Vendor landscape for cloud ERP report, principal analyst Paul Hamermen says: "Applications built for SaaS [software as a service] tend to be quicker to deploy and easier to configure, accelerating time-to-value and enabling agility for growth companies.
Cloud ERP is often used to enable businesses to launch new ventures rapidly and support country expansion. "SaaS ERP is often used to support foreign subsidiaries cost-effectively – a strategy known as two-tier ERP. SaaS ERP enables rapid implementation without the technology management costs of standing up an internal technology infrastructure to support the applications.
Forrester's research has shown the traditional ERP companies have been slow to adopt cloud ERP.
Hamerman believes most traditional players have been slow to move because they want to preserve the valuable stream of maintenance revenue.
He says this is the principal reason why few on-premise ERP providers are building and offering SaaS-only ERP products.
"Co-existence between SaaS and on-premise (or hosted) versions could allow a customer to switch deployment modes in either direction, and avoid a disruptive migration," says Hamerman.
For instance, Oracle now offers a SaaS-only ERP product thanks to its acquisition of NetSuite, while SAP has its own internally developed SaaS ERP offering, Business ByDesign.
"Your incumbent on-premise ERP supplier may offer an attractive migration path to SaaS, but take care to understand the benefits and costs of such a project – and whether the new SaaS offering delivers relevant architectural, flexibility and usability advantages similar to products natively built for SaaS," says Hamerman.
Cloud ERP is not necessarily a single product or service available via the cloud. Analyst Gartner identifies a new era of ERP it describes as "postmodern ERP".
It defines postmodern ERP as a strategy that automates and links administrative and operational business capabilities (such as finance, HR, purchasing, manufacturing and distribution) with appropriate levels of integration that balance the benefits of supplier-delivered integration against business flexibility and agility.
In August 2016, Gartner published its You do not need cloud ERP to solve your ERP challenges! report. The analyst report notes that some capabilities within on-premise ERP megasuites - such as human capital management and indirect procurement - are now dominated by SaaS.
However, Gartner points out that other capabilities - such as operational ERP and enterprise asset management - are still largely on-premise or hosted.
"Many organisations hope they can just 'lift and shift' their entire current on-premise landscape to the cloud, but this is insufficient in the world of postmodern ERP," says the report's author, Christian Hestermann.
Businesses want to move away from on-premise ERP to become more agile, responsive to change and reduce the costs associated with running and maintaining these systems.
However, Hestermann's research found after implementing and using some sort of cloud-based or SaaS ERP, users and application managers realise many of these promises are not fulfilled or may be harder to achieve than they anticipated.
In a blog post covering the major ERP providers, Frank Niemann, vice-president of enterprise applications and related services at Pierre Audoin Consultants, says SAP has not been particularly successful at getting customers of its on-premise ERP to move to the cloud.
He says its cloud-based product, ByDesign, is not SAP's top priority any longer. According to Niemann, SAP would rather businesses buy S/4 Hana, which can be deployed both on-premise and in the cloud.
This shows in the company's latest financial results, where Oracle's first quarter 2017-18 cloud revenue was boosted 51% by NetSuite.
"With SaaS revenue up 62%, our cloud applications business continues to grow more than twice as fast as Salesforce.com," says CEO Mark Hurd.
"ERP is our largest and most important cloud applications business. We now have about 5,000 Fusion ERP customers, plus 12,000 NetSuite ERP customers in the Oracle Cloud. That's 30 times more ERP customers than Workday," he says.
Meanwhile, SAP admits it is still early days for S/4 Hana. In a transcript of its second quarter 2017 earnings call posted on the Seeking Alpha financial blogging site, CEO Bill McDermott says: "We are in the early days of the S/4 Hana momentum.
The mid-market is important for SAP and Oracle. "From a functional standpoint, NetSuite is mid-market, but technically NetSuite can scale," says Neimann.
NetSuite is a viable product to implement in regional sales or services offices in combination with Oracle eBusiness suites for manufacturing facilities. "You may choose to run NetSuite in a new subsidiary," he says.
Similarly, SAP's Business ByDesign can be used in smaller subsidiaries to feed into its core ERP.
Infor is another of the major ERP providers moving to cloud. It offers versions on Amazon Web Services as well as a multi-tenanted SaaS variety. Infor has taken a vertical approach to cloud, combining different products for specific industries.
Microsoft is also making a big push in the cloud ERP market with its Dynamics 365 for Operations product. This is positioned as a visionary in Gartner's eponymous Magic Quadrant for cloud core financial management suites.
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations is still early in its life cycle. Although Microsoft has a comprehensive partner training programme in place, ecosystem skills and knowledge are still developing," Gartner notes.
The Magic Quadrant research also notes that Microsoft received below-average reference customer feedback.
"Issues cited by survey respondents mainly related to being early adopters of a new cloud solution that is early in its life cycle," says the Gartner report.
"Microsoft has not been successful in large enterprises, but plays very well in the mid-market," says Niemann.
Various studies from the IT analyst show businesses are starting to use cloud ERP.
These products do not necessarily replace all the functionality of existing on-premise software. Some, such as Workday, are only suitable for certain sectors.
For instance, Neimann says Workday lacks support for manufacturing, but it probably has the features a professional services organisation will require.
The general consensus is that cloud ERP tends to be far more flexible and potentially more cost-effective compared to traditional ERP.
As 451 Research notes, they also offer an opportunity for businesses to define new linkages between business processes that previously could not be easily achieved in the on-premise world.

Kathy Prendeville

Cork teenager Jessica Griffin, student at Cork Life Centre created her comic series in the hopes of helping others living with Asperger's as well as giving others a greater understanding of the syndrome itself.
Jess recently launched the first episode of her comic series One Piece Missing: On the Road, which explores life with Asperger's Syndrome from her own eyes.
The 18-year-old art lover was diagnosed with Asperger's, dyslexia and dyspraxia as a child and creatively came up with her own inspiring way of sharing her story that is just picture perfect.

Jess' dad Jimmy recently spoke tp RSVP on what the comics mean to the teen,
"The message that Jess wants to put out is that being different is like having a superpower," he said. "You can achieve anything if you just talk to people and look for help, don't keep it all bottled up"
"In her head she knew she wanted to put something out there to explain - not just to people with autism but also people who don't - so they can try and understand the person with autism on a different level that we do"

The comics are available on Jess' website, along with her other amazing artwork. And we've seen the comic for ourselves, so we aren't surprised to hear that the first two prints have sold out and they're set to be sold in Waterstones in Cork this weekend.
Waterstones tweeted,
"We are delighted to welcome Cork author Jessica Griffin to Waterstones Cork to sign copies of her book One Piece Missing: On the Road"
"Jessica was diagnosed with dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism as a child and has now written, illustrated and published this book, the first volume of an autobiographical comic series"
Jess is set to be in Waterstones in Cork from 3pm to 5pm today where you can get your hands on one of her comics.
