You'll have to backtrack a bit with Ashley to return to the garbage disposal unit from before. For now, leave Ashley in her room as you step outside to clear out the not-zombies in the next hall (they're just around the corner). Sit back with your shotgun and take 'em out fast to clear the path. When you can, get Ashley to follow you while you head south and into the next area.
As soon as you enter the next room, back up a bit and get Ashley behind you. There are a few enemies just around the corner, including one with a crossbow that likes to take cheap shots. If you can get far enough around the corner, you should be able to use the wall as a shield against the crossbow shots while you first deal with the other not-zombies. When you've killed the first couple of enemies, run forward with your shotgun to quickly blast away the crossbow enemy. Another guy will run over and lock the room, so take him out as well.
Make sure Ashley is safe near the door to the east (the same door you used to enter the room) before you unlock the door to the room. As you do, a bunch of not-zombies will rush into the room. Quickly turn around witih the shotgun and blast 'em down, and then run over to Ashley to start playing defense. When all of the enemies are cleared away, continue westward until you reach the garbage disposal.
When you reach the underground area with Ashley, start walking towards the gate to the south. As you open the gate, the regenerator behind you will stand up! Quickly pass under the gate with Ashley and pull the lever on the other side of the gate to close it behind you. Make sure Ashley is a safe distance away from the gate and equip your rifle with the infrared scope to take out the regenerator (the creature will eventually open the gate if you don't kill it fast enough), making sure to get the one parasite on the enemy's back.
After opening a second gate, you'll find a large metal bin that you need to push out of the way. Call Ashley to you and she'll assist in pushing the heavy thing out of the way. When the path is clear, have Ashley hide in the metal crate behind you and continue across the path. As you approach the southwest corner of the room, another regenerator starts coming at you from down the southern hall. Run back across the bridge near Ashley's hiding spot and take out the regenerator as it marches towards you. If you're quick enough, you can target the parasite on the creature's back before it turns around to face you head-on, making it easier to kill.
With the second regenerator dead, call Ashley to you and head down the southern hall. There's another large metal bin to push away before exiting to the next hall.
The moment you set foot in the next hall, three enemies up ahead start coming at you. Back up as far left as you can get and keep Ashley behind you while you lay into the not-zombies with your shotgun. The one in the back will likely keep his distance, taking shots at you with flying hatchets. Clear the room, grab the items, and head down the hall.
The hall opens up to a large room with a wrecking ball in the center, but don't jump down into the room just yet. If you look to the northwest corner of the room, you'll see a small control room for the wrecking ball—that's your target. As soon as you drop down, start making a mad dash for the control room because a bunch of enemies are about to invade the area.
When you get to the control room, wait for Ashley to catch up and command her to operate the wrecking ball. She'll continue to pummel away at a nearby wall until it smashes to pieces, while your job is to hold off the attack. There are two entrances to the control room that you'll have to guard, so be on your toes, going back and forth with the shotgun to blast down the enemies. You don't have to worry about killing everything, though; just make sure that nothing gets into the room and you'll be fine. When Ashley finally breaks away the wall, call her to you and quickly run for the gate that she's opened. You can go through it and leave the not-zombies behind.
The next hall is calm...for now. Enter the room to the right and as you explore it you'll hear the music change pace. When it does, quickly get to the back of the room and watch the doorway with your rifle. A regenerator will slowly march in, so take out the parasites on its front side (there are none on its back). With the enemy dead, exit back to the main hall and you'll find the door to the right opened.
Head south down the hall and you'll hear another change in the music pace. Look down the hall with your rifle and you'll see another regenerator coming at you. Again, there are no parasites on the regenerator's back, so take your time to take it out. You'll have to activate the power to a shutter in a nearby room, and since it doesn't open all the way Ashley will have to crawl under and open it for you. There are a couple of items to find in the hall and its connecting rooms, as well as a merchant and a save point to the south. Make good use of them.
To continue to the next area, bring Ashley to one side of the doorway to the south and leave her there. Approach the opposite side of the door and press the action button to operate the locks. As the red lights above the door move towards the center light, press the action button to complete the series and unlock the door.
Grab the few items in the area and be sure you're stocked up on shotgun ammo. When you're ready for a ride, hop onto the back of the large tractor. As Ashley drives down the tunnel, hold off the enemies that try to jack the vehicle from the rear. As the enemies run near the back of the tractor, launch a shotgun blast to temporarily stun the lot. You can effectively stall them long enough so that they give up chase.
Eventually, a large truck will start barreling down the hall towards you. It takes just a shotgun blast or two to the grill of the truck to ignite it in flames, temporarily stopping the truck. As Ashley continues the drive, keep holding off enemies until the truck rolls again. You don't have to worry about shooting it this time, but the truck will wipe out any remaining not-zombies.
Just up ahead, the truck will come to a stop on a large lift. Quickly jump out of the truck and climb up either nearby ladder. The upper catwalk is littered with not-zombies, so mow 'em down to get to the control ever in the center of the room. Flip the control lever and quickly run back to the truck to save Ashley from some approaching enemies.
Once the truck reaches the top of the lift, you'll go through another stretch of road where you have to blast away enemies. You'll soon hear the honk of another truck, and this time the truck is coming towards your tractor, head-on. Blast it once with the shotgun to the grill and the ride will end.
There are no enemies to worry about once you're off the tractor ride. Just collect the nearby items and make use of the merchant in the next room. As you exit the room with the merchant, the chapter will end.

Category talk:Stubs
Can we change the category of "stubs" so it only applies to pages that are literally just one sentence? There are a lot of articles in here that are pretty comprehensive about their subject matter, even though they may only be a few sentences long and thereby stubs by another Wiki's standards. --Matt Jackson
If you think an article marked "stub" contains all the information it should, feel free to remove the category marker. I don't see a need to stipulate a specific cutoff of one sentence. Jonah 23:08, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
I'd find something like "contains sufficient information to cover the basics of the subject the page is about" to be a better guideline than anything to do with length. --Fred Morlan 01:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The United States maintains numerous embassies and consulates around the world, many of which are in war-torn countries or other dangerous areas.
Diplomatic SecurityEdit
The Regional Security Office is staffed by Special Agents of the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), and is responsible for all security, protection, and law enforcement operations in the embassy or consulate. The Regional Security Officer (RSO) is the senior DSS Special Agent in country and is the principal adviser to the Chief of Mission (generally an Ambassador or Consul General) on all security, law-enforcement, and counter-terrorism issues for that country or region. The RSO is responsible for liaising with the host government's security and law enforcement officials. The RSO is supported by technical security specialists and a force of local guards.

4‑H Alumni Share a Day in the Life
4‑H alumni Jennifer Nettles, Carla Hall, Zippy Duvall and Craig Melvin share a fun-filled day with 4‑H members who are given behind the scenes look at career paths and where their 4‑H experience can take them.
4‑H Alumni Spotlight - Russell
Russell lived in a community where the pressure to make bad choices is overwhelming. He struggled in school and at home, became a target of bullying and felt there was nowhere he truly belonged and no one to turn to for help.
All of that changed when Russell was introduced to a local 4‑H agent when he was 12, whom he credits with turning his life around. For the first time, Russell belonged to a community of kids who welcomed him with open arms and cheered him on as he realized his passion for STEM.
Once a struggling student with no direction or sense of belonging, Russell finished high school on the Honor Roll and went on to attend college, with a full scholarship, where he's currently pursuing a degree in computer science.
4‑H Alumni Spotlight - Jacob
Jacob Shuman struggled in school from a very young age. Frustrated and searching for answers, Jacob and his adoptive family learned that Fetal Alcohol Syndrome was the cause of his learning difficulties. Jacob's mom suggested he join 4‑H to stay motivated, gain confidence and have new opportunities to learn outside of the classroom.
Growing up tending to honey bee hives at his family home, Jacob had a passion for educating his community about their importance. With the support of 4‑H, Jacob started the "Teens Educating Adults and Children about Honey Bees" program. Through the TEACH B program, Jacob leads live bee education, demonstrations and lessons on the importance of bees to agriculture and the economy.
His true purpose in creating this program was to reach out to the kids who struggled just like he did. "I wanted to be an advocate for them…4‑H has helped me learn, it's helped me become a True Leader. It's given me a voice to go out and reach out to other people."
4‑H Alumni Spotlight - Amelia
A 4‑H'er since elementary school, Amelia had experienced the support and opportunities 4‑H provides as she worked to overcome a severe speech impediment.
When Amelia Day followed her father into an appointment at the local veteran's hospital, she was shocked and saddened by the number of veterans lining the hallways, depressed and alone.
Unable to turn away from the need she so clearly saw that day, she put her 4‑H leadership skills to action, and Operation: Veteran Smiles was born. Providing care packages, cards and musical therapy to veterans in Georgia and beyond, Amelia has helped more than 4,000 veterans and engaged more than 6,500 volunteers over 5 years with the help of 4‑H clubs, volunteers and grants.
Amelia credits 4‑H with giving her the skills, confidence and leadership to succeed. Her advice to kids: "Join 4‑H, they'll help you become the best version of yourself."
Featured Alumni
Former US Deputy Secretary of Agriculture
Krysta Harden
"4‑H opened up many doors for me. Through my involvement in various 4‑H competitions and camps, I was exposed to new experiences – and many life lessons that I have carried with me. I have seen the positive impact 4‑H has on our youth and I truly believe that the organization is developing the next generation of young leaders."
President National PTA, Georgia 4‑H
Otha Thornton
"When you're in 4‑H, you're exposed to so many different things and exposed to different people. That, for me, was very important. I also think about the four H's: Managing and thinking (Head); Relating and caring for people (Heart); Giving and working (Hands); Living a healthy lifestyle (Health). Those values help. They really make a difference."
Pacific Region Representative, National Association of Conservation Districts
Ariel Rivers
"Many people think of me as an incredibly enthusiastic individual, constantly looking for ways to help others and make a difference. This comes from the early lessons we learned showing animals and at camp, as everything was a collaborative effort in a happy and supportive environment . . . 4‑H was such a safe environment where we could learn and grow and become the best version of ourselves."
USDA, Jamaica 4‑H Volunteer, Kentucky 4‑H
Elizabeth Riley
"My 4‑H activities and animal science knowledge led me to receive my BS and MS in Animal Science. The people I've met and friendships forged . . . enriched my life and made me a better person. I carry with me all the lessons I learned through 4‑H . . . as I continue my Peace Corps service in Jamaica. I don't know what my next step in life will be, but you can bet 4‑H will be a part of it."

4‑H Council Board of Trustees, New York 4‑H
Lazarus Lynch
I am a native New Yorker from the borough of Queens. I was introduced to 4‑H in my freshman year at Food and Finance High School in New York City. I participated in many aspects of the program in high school from urban gardening and nutrition education programs to public speaking competitions, attending county fairs, and community service. By participating in these programs, I developed a passion for service-learning. The characteristic that changed in my life because of 4‑H was the ability to think global and act local. 4‑H empowered me to believe in myself and in the great potential power of united young people.
4‑H has led me to many unique and amazing opportunities, such as the World Food Prize conference in Des Moines, Iowa, where I learned about issues related to hunger and food insecurity in the world. Because of 4‑H's empowerment and the World Food Prize, I was selected to be a Borlaug-Ruan international intern at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing, China, for three months researching with master's students. 4‑H has taught me what it means to be not only a citizen of my community but also of the world. In my senior year of high school, I led A Hunger Symposium that collaborated inner city students with community leaders to think about hunger in the world around them. For the first time, students were thinking about issues that affected 870 million people in and outside of the USA. On the last day of the symposium, we hosted a food drive and packaged over 10,000 meals for NYC food banks to distribute to all five boroughs.
Motivational Speaker, Missouri 4‑H
Shannon Oleen
In the 4th grade I came home from my city public school asking if I could join a local organization with some of my friends. My parents, who both grew up in small rural communities, said if I was going to be involved in anything, it was going to be 4‑H. My mom researched to see if she could find a local club and sure enough, there was one in my county. At first, I didn't know what to think. None of my close friends or classmates were in 4‑H, but it didn't take long for me to fall in love with new friends and the abundance of opportunities I was being given. It was in 4‑H that I was able to give my first speech at the county fair at the age of eight. It was in 4‑H that I got to take my first trip out of the Midwest – and spent two weeks in our nation's capital and at the National 4‑H Youth Conference Center. That trip even allowed me to see New York City! It was in 4‑H that I became passionate about our country and learning more about giving back. I was fortunate enough to be elected to Missouri State 4‑H Council and have the opportunity to meet even more 4‑H'ers around my state. I became passionate about bringing 4‑H opportunities to even more inner city youth, and through all the work that I was doing, my college awarded me a grant for all of the hard work I put in. Today, I still give back to 4‑H and recognize the opportunities it provides young people, no matter where you are from.

The Worldwide Nazarene Assembly of Elohim repudiates the ritual orchestrated Sunday January 29th 2012, by Ralph Messer at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta.
In this bizarre ritual Ralph Messer, claiming to be a Jewish Rabbi, wrapped mega-church pastor and accused child molester Eddie Long in a Torah Scroll, referred to it's mantle as a foreskin that needed to be removed, and crowned Eddie Long a King. All of this as part of a Sunday worship Church service!
Messer is not recognized by the WNAE and is not regarded as any part of the Nazarene community. Messer is operating entirely outside the Nazarene community. Additionally, his representation that he acts on behalf of the Jewish people is baseless.
This "invented" ritual was disrespectful to the Torah. It was a profane use of a Torah Scroll with no basis in any tradition of Judaism, Rabbinic or Nazarene. The only time in which Jews have been wrapped in Torah Scrolls, was in ancient times when Romans wrapped Jews in Torah Scrolls and burned them alive!
It is blasphemous to describe the Torah as "a foreskin," which needs to be removed, to declare a man to be "king" in a Torah ritual and to misuse a tallit in such a profane matter.
Respect of the Torah is a central tenant of Nazarene Judaism. We as Nazarenes stand with the Rabbinic Jewish community in declaring that this ceremony was profane, inappropriate, blasphemous, offensive and disturbing.

Indeed, they shall call evil good and good evil. Their bottom line is money and self aggrandizement. In my opinion, messer and Long are pure evil that foist themselves off as "good." if they are 'good" then they are good for nothing -- utterly worthless blasphemers. These men and trheir ilk gives all true believers a black eye. At best they are an embarassment to all decent brothers and sisters.
Next it will be Benny Hinn and his Nephilim.
AMEN AND AMEN!!!! I heard about that disgraceful ceremony and viewed it for myself on Youtube. It was blasphemous and not of Ruach HaKodesh!!!! It truly sickened my stomach and grieved my spirit. Only YESHUA MASHIACH is KING AND ONLY HE WILL BE EXALTED HIGH!!! "The pride of man will be bowed down, the arrogance of men will be humiliated, and when that day comes, ADONAI alone will be exalted. Yesha'yahu (Isaiah) 2:17. Rabbi Greg Hershberg gave an awesome response to this blasphemous event. I hope you watch his video that I have attached for you!! Rabbi Greg Hershberg's Response - Beth Yeshua International, Macon, GA.flv: http://youtu.be/4r2LvCoX0bA via
Check out 2Thess the entire chapter...
Interesting thought @Dr. David Kelling....lol. Amein @Erica Karas.
I have also thought something was not right about Messer. When I first saw him years ago I was coming out of watching the whole TBN thing and preachers of that ilk. Then I saw him in a video and my stomach turned. There was something in that "charismatic" thing I didn't like.
Once people deny the truth of Torah they are left with a reprobate mind to conjure up what ever suites their fancy,
as they are at that point appalled with the truth of Scriptures. This is Christianity at it' finest. True daughters of the Catholic church, as the nut does not fall far from the tree.

Its been a good summer so far, but I have not had much time to do many landscapes. I have had more demand to do events and portrait photography, so my first love has been a little bit on the back burner. But this week, while waiting for my daughter who was at a #Hillsong Youth Leadership meeting, I decided to sneak my camera into the boot of the car, as it did not make sense to take her there and come home and pick her up again. So I spent 2 hrs taking pictures of the #RiverThames from Putney Bridge, and this was the best of the images.
For a change I did not take a wide angled lense with me, I used a Nikon 50mm F1.8 for this picture and I have to say I was quite pleased with it. As a Landscape photographer you get very attached to your "wide angled lenses" because you can get more into the image, but sometimes less works just as well.
The colours captured in this image, are very close to what could be seen with the naked eye as the sun hid behind the clouds in the closing moments of the day. This image in an interpretation of what I was feeling when I took it; simply "This Feels Like Summer".
As the summer rolls on and I have some time on my hands for recreation, I will be posting mores of Landscapes for you to enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this one.!

Peter Dundas, the Man Behind Beyoncé's Unforgettable Grammys Dress, Is Launching His Eponymous Collection in Paris
After 10 years in the creative director chair at Emanuel Ungaro, Emilio Pucci, and Roberto Cavalli, Peter Dundas is launching his eponymous label with a collection for Moda Operandi at the Paris haute couture shows. But he isn't going solo. As Yves Saint Laurent had Pierre Bergé and Valentino had Giancarlo Giammetti, Dundas has Evangelo Bousis, his partner in life turned partner in business. You've seen them on the red carpet together with Kim and Kanye, EmRata, and model pals like Natasha Poly. Dundas has designed the line he's presenting on Sunday with those glamorous types in mind. "It's quite a few dresses, he says, "that's what my girls want."
But if the cut-up-to-there, with a train out-to-there silhouette of the gown pictured here is pure Dundas, the way he's gone about producing this collection—with his hands in every aspect of development, and stacking up more air miles than he knows what to do with—is something new. "I've worked at relaunching three established brands now and I've enjoyed doing that, but at this moment, doing something completely new seems fresher to me, and in many ways seems easier," he says. "I'm learning a lot."
We'll learn what the Dundas collection looks like on Sunday evening. Here, he talked about the pros and cons of starting over (it's mostly pros) and the Beyoncé Grammys dress that got the ball rolling.
I saw on Instagram you were in Mumbai a few days ago. For embroideries?
Yes, I've been every place and seen every person connected with this project. I haven't been to India for work ever, though I've been for holidays. It was great to connect with the handcrafters. I really want to take the opportunity this first time around to see how things are done, to connect with people, and to make sure they understand what I want, and I understand their process, too. And I'm learning, as well. I don't usually go to shoe factories, and this time I've been several times. I want to make sure the shoes are right, and I want the suppliers to know who I am.
So, what do you want? This is the first time you're designing under your own name.
I've been trying to be intuitive and follow my instincts. That's probably the biggest way that this feels different: because I'm trying to do something that follows my language 100 percent. The beginning for me was Beyoncé [Dundas designed her Grammys performance dress], that was the first drop. This is an organic continuation of what we started, having drops every few months [he also designed Emily Ratajkowski's Cannes gown]. This Moda Operandi capsule is part of the whole. Afterward, I'm doing something else with Farfetch. So little by little, we're gathering layers.
Is the Beyoncé dress a good indicator of the sensibility of Dundas? Is it evening-focused? Because you're also a great tailor, so I'm wondering what the mix will be.
This is an image moment, so yes, it's going to be things my girls will be really into: for sure some special occasion things that make you feel like you're the only girl in the room, but also tailoring. This process has been about connecting with my girls. We're starting on Moda. A lot of my girlfriends shop there, and Lauren [Santo Domingo, Moda's founder] is a friend of our as well. We're starting with that, but I want to reach other places as well. I've had amazing support from department stores and multi-brand stores; that will be the next step.
I like that image, feeling like you're the only girl in the room. Can you elaborate on the Dundas aesthetic?
There's definitely a sensuality to it, a joy of life. Hopefully there's an element of glamour, an element of freedom, of rebelliousness. Confidence. A little of a bohemian hippie girl. I like to make women feel seductive. That's why I love cut and embellishments that make you shine.
How has it been getting a company off the ground on your own? Have you enjoyed it? Has it been challenging?
I've enjoyed it very much. But I'm not doing it alone, I'm doing it with my partner, Evangelo. We started talking about it because a friend proposed investing in it. We thought, maybe down the line. Then he moved to Milan to be with me when I took the Cavalli job, and we realized we complement each other very well, not just personally, but also professionally. This time around, it was essential to me to do it with somebody who has my back, and whose back I have as well. Of course, it's been challenging, but we've also had a lot of fun with it. It requires a lot of work to turn an established company and make it a modern one. In a way, having a blank sheet but having the experience I've been lucky enough to have so far in my career is a nice combination. Today, there's so many established companies that are struggling to adapt to the times in terms of agility and versatility that I really don't think a new company is at more of a disadvantage than an established company.
It's so refreshing to see a living designer's name on a label!
I agree. My brother-in-law has a tech company in America, and he and his friends have been really inspiring to us. You have so many companies who are thinking outside of the box and creating successes, and it just feels like fashion is lagging behind, even at the basic level in terms of launching new brands. Up until now there's been a fear of that. [At an established brand] when you want to change deliveries and seasons . . . first of all, even convincing people to do it is very challenging. And the possible economic implications scare people as well, whereas with this we can basically set the clock ourselves. And move step by step so we can grow organically.
What comes next?
I want to see how this goes. Right now it's been nice to own everything that we do. It's something I was missing from what I was doing before. So, you understand every cost, every investment on a project. It teaches you a lot, and I probably should have done it years ago. We want to own the project, so therefore, we're taking our time.
You seem quite e-commerce focused? Why is that?
It's definitely part of the strategy. We'll have an online store way before we have a bricks-and-mortar store. With people's busy lives, e-commerce is only going to get more important. Pop up stores, that I do like. That is something that we are working on. All this technology that's part of the modern approach, for me, the main objective of all of it is to make a closer relationship with me and this girl. That's why I want to do this. I want to make sure that she hears my language. That the message reaches home. I learned years ago that it was important to spend time with my girls, understand the life they lead, and why they're into certain things or not into them anymore. We would like to consider ourselves a lifestyle brand as much as a fashion brand, and part of the way to do that is to live that dream, to share that dream, as well.Read more at:yellow prom dresses | orange prom dresses
Why not baring all is suddenly stylish
I'd found it: the ideal dress for a black-tie summer wedding. This particular dress was long but lightweight, just embellished enough, with a neckline that wouldn't scandalise the grandmother of the bride. Except - I realised as I clicked ahead to the rear-view photo - that this otherwise perfect chapel-to-dance floor gown was backless.
"That's incredibly frustrating," says Ghizlan Guenez, founder and chief executive of The Modist, a new e-commerce site focused on the more decorous side of high fashion. Guenez, an elegant 38-year-old who grew up in Algiers, Beirut and London before settling into a private-equity career in Dubai, has a lifetime of experience with let-downs like these. She and many women in her circle choose to dress modestly, making every shopping expedition into a series of elimination rounds for nonconforming features. "If they find something they like, either it has a slit, or it's sleeveless or it's sheer... There are millions of women who dress this way and they've been completely underserved."
Until now, that is: Guenez launched The Modist in March 2017. With the tag-line "luxury modest fashion for extraordinary women", the online store is primed to reach a worldwide audience of women who prefer their fashion a bit more covered-up.
You won't find any crop tops, shorts, spaghetti straps or (ahem) backless gowns. What you will find is flattering dresses, midi skirts, interesting shirting and other assorted ready-to-wear that leaves a little something to the imagination. The site is a boon to any woman who's ever felt a dress would be perfect if only it had sleeves.
Guenez and her team leave defining what constitutes modesty to their shopper. "Really it's 'little-m' modest," Sasha Sarokin, the site's buying and fashion director and a 10-year alumna of Net-a-Porter, says with a smile. "It's more understated and a bit more refined. I enjoy buying for a woman who doesn't necessarily identify as modest or not; she just likes the look." To wit: her dress the day we meet is a high-necked, long-sleeved, mid-calf, tiger-printed number by Ukrainian designer Petar Petrov (which I know because I heard at least five women gasp over it and ask about the designer).
The site launched with a stable of 75 brands ranging from the established (Marni, Alberta Ferretti, Robert Clergerie) to the emerging (London-based Rejina Pyo and Racil; Turkish brand Mimya). The pitching process involved a good deal of visual-assisted education about modesty. But over and over again, Guenez and Sarokin would arrive at meetings to find that the women on the other side of the table were modestly dressed, whether they were conscious of that as a style choice or not.
For fashion undoubtedly is in the midst of a modest moment. The covered-up vision of beauty that Valentino pioneered has infiltrated every corner of the industry, prevailing at Gucci, Celine and Balenciaga. The breakout star of the autumn/winter runways was Halima Aden, a 19-year-old Somali-American model who wore her hijab on the MaxMara runway and on the covers of CR Fashion Book, Vogue Arabia and Allure.
Clearly, some of this shift stems from brands' growing awareness of the importance of the Muslim fashion market - it's projected to increase to $672 billion by 2019, according to a report from Thomson Reuters. Dolce & Gabbana introduced a line of hijabs in 2016, and Mango has quietly built its special collection for Ramadan into an impressive offering over the past 10 years.
"Modest fashion is witnessing a revolution without precedent," a spokesman for the Spanish brand said. This revolution will be hashtagged, with more than 600,000 Instagram posts tagged as #modestfashion. It's a trend that cuts across religious lines, with Christian, Jewish and Muslim style bloggers all cheering over the same modest, fashionable pieces that The Modist specialises in.
Not that the trend for modest dressing is limited to certain religions or cultures. Guenez's brainwave may have come in Dubai, but half of the site's sales so far come from outside the Middle East: the US is the second largest market, followed by the UK.
Guenez knows the online shopping field is crowded and challenging. Earlier this month, Conde Nast closed Style after nine months and an estimated US$100 million ($136m) in investment. Brand executives tell Guenez the world doesn't need another e-commerce player.
"What makes them stop and think is that they can very clearly see how we are different. We're talking to a different population of women - women who have not been spoken to before, who are frustrated, who need this service."
Just as there's a range of reasons to embrace modest style, from religious to aesthetic, there's also a spectrum of ways to wear it. If you're ready to try a more covered-up look, heed these tips from The Modist's Ghizlan Guenez and Sasha Sarokin.
A miniskirt that's just a tad too short for comfort can make a smart tunic when worn over a pair of tailored trousers. A corset that exposes too much skin looks sharp over a crisp cotton shirt. "We pick things that are not as squarely modest, but the way we style them makes them modest," Guenez says.
If you've got a statement top, keep the trousers or skirt slim, and vice versa. "It adds drama in all the right ways," Sorokin says.
A black polo neck bodysuit is a modest dresser's best friend. Wear it under camisoles, shirts and bustiers - but if you layer the top of your outfit, keep the bottom simple, with a long skirt or chic trousers.
Sometimes all it takes to make a piece modest is a little tinkering: closing a slit, adding a lining or lengthening the sleeves.
It pays to find a local, reliable tailor to help make your wardrobe work for you.
When you're wearing more clothing, the quality of the fabric becomes even more important. Look for substantial fabrics that sit beautifully and will wear well.
"The long-sleeved maxi-dress with a Victorian influence is the piece of the season - don't be afraid of some fabulous print," Sorokin says.Read more at:formal dresses
Designing A Nation Through Fashion And Music
Building a lifestyle brand that embraces self-love and pride was the ultimate goal of multi-platinum recording artiste Fuse ODG, also known as Nana Richard Abiona. Born in London and raised in Ghana, Fuse ODG is not only a vocal creative but a talented designer with a stylish vision.
His brand, New Africa Nation (NANA), expresses beauty, fun and sophistication as it aims to build a nation of kings and queens by catering to the needs of its lifestyle. Through fashion, music, events, media and even children's toys, Fuse wants to reprogramme the world's mental image of Africa, its people and its diaspora.
NANA's sound and clothing line is uplifting, inspirational and edgy as its colours, style, diversity and African prints influence happiness. During its debut a few weeks ago on the Caribbean Fashionweek runway in St Andrew, Fuse's pieces and performance sparked a celebration as attendees danced and enjoyed its fun culture.
According to Pulse Chairman Kingsley Cooper, Fuse ODG's fashion line is especially inspiring, not only for the talent it displays, but also for the philosophy of NANA, the New African Nation.
"He has set up a factory in Ghana, where he has roots, and has already employed Ghanaians to work there. He is therefore creating economic opportunities for the people of Ghana (and Britain, where he resides, and to which much of his product will be exported from Ghana), and we were very happy that he chose Caribbean Fashionweek to launch his collection," Cooper told Flair.
Fuse continues to work hard on his brand as out of its music and fashion comes a financial support for their 'Nana Needs A School' project. This project has already built a primary school in Ghana that educates more than 200 children.Read more at:cocktail dresses

As we're nearly at the end of 2017, Open Access BPO looks back on some of its biggest milestones this year.
It's been another long, full year for Open Access BPO. This 2017 presented a host of opportunities for the company to establish an even stronger international presence and serve more brands all over the world.
Here's a quick look at the multilingual call center's notable achievements this 2017.
New site in one of the world's biggest markets
In June 2017, Open Access BPO officially opened a new contact center in Xiamen City, China, primarily for foreign carriers entering the Chinese air transport niche. In addition to Makati and Davao (Philippines) and Taipei (Taiwan), this is the fourth Asian location established by the company.
Aside from airlines, Open Access BPO's Xiamen site aids businesses in various industries in penetrating the Chinese market, which is one of the biggest in the world. Partnering with the company's China branch helps make brands' market entry seamless and quick. That way, they can gain access to around 13 million potential consumers even without a physical location in China.
In addition, Open Access BPO China employs customer support agents who speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Fookien, and other Chinese dialects, allowing new businesses to communicate effectively with their target customers.
Open Access BPO's expansion to China is part of its mission to fortify its global presence and partner with fast-growing firms all over the world.
Open Access BPO celebrates its 10th year
Starting out as a telemarketing firm in 2007, Open Access BPO marks its 10th anniversary this 2017. From only a handful of employees then, the company now houses around 1,300 staff from various cultures, spread out across four Asian locations.
In its 10th year and beyond, Open Access BPO remains committed to providing world-class multilingual customer support and back office solutions to companies all over the world, enabling them to capture new, diverse markets. Its services are available in 35 Asian, European, and South American languages.
Running its second NYC Marathon

Last November 5, Open Access BPO participated for the second time in the TCS New York City Marathon, one of the biggest and grandest sporting events in the world. This year, it sent four marathoner-employees to run across New York's boroughs, enabling them to represent the Philippines at a global arena.
The company's participation in the prestigious event, which is a form of employee engagement, doubles as an initiative to support a cause. This year, it donated $30,000 to Ryan's Run, a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit organization helping people with disabilities. Ryan's Run is one of the Silver Charity Partners of the NYC Marathon.

Smash Software's Hide-A-Caller iPhone App
Ever wish that an incoming call from someone—say, a pushy parent or ex (I'll be tactful and stop there)—wasn't obvious to everyone nearby? Smash Software has released a free iPhone app called Hide a Caller, which lets iPhone owners change a name in the address book to an alias of either gender. That way, whenever there's an incoming call or SMS from that person, a different name appears on the screen.
The app offers secure access to secret contacts, address book management, the ability to create, rename, and delete aliases, and the ability to call, e-mail, or text aliases from within the app; it also populates your call history with the aliases instead of the caller's real names if desired.
The company said today that they have over 2000 reviews and 50,000 downloads in less than one month. Apparently there's lots of demand out there for this sort of thing. To download the app, head over to Apple's App Store.

The long road to
60% of citizens do not trust their government, compromising the willingness of citizens and business to respond to public policies
Even in countries with the highest levels of trust, up to one in fourcitizens do not trust their government is doing the right thing
All over the world the authority of government is being eroded. There is a sense that citizens are beginning to doubt whether government actually can make a difference in their lives.
Communication Leader, Africa
Government relies on the consent and trust of the people: the more government is trusted, the more it can do. Unsurprising then, falling levels of trust in government is cited by government leaders who took part in this research as the key issue facing government communicators. They believe a lack of trust is:
- Limiting cut-through of government messages
- Inhibiting two-way dialogue
- Contributing to detachment and disengagement from government
- Inhibiting the success of policies that depend on behavioural responses from the public.
Respondents to The Leaders' Report share a global sense that trust in government has declined dramatically. However, very few have metrics or measures that prove it – and without measurement it is difficult to address. Their sense that trust has fallen concurs with extensive research carried out by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which concludes that a lack of trust is compromising the willingness of citizens and business to respond to public policies and contribute to a sustainable economic recovery.5
Worldwide, only 40% of citizens trust their government. Even in countries with the highest levels of public trust – such as the United Arab Emirates and Singapore – as many as one citizen in four professes to distrust their government.6
6 ibid
The Detail
The reasons cited by respondents for the decline in trust vary:
- Some see it as a predictable result of the shift from an "age of deference" to an "age of reference", which has been accelerated by the internet and social media
- Others trace a trajectory or linear series of events leading from Watergate through 9/11 to the rise of Donald Trump as a politician
- Some cite it as the result of the cumulative impact that more isolated events such as the global financial crisis, WikiLeaks and the Panama Papers have had on public discourse
- Others believe that the internet has enabled the exponential growth and circulation of conspiracy theories, creating a general distrust of those in positions of authority and the information that supports them.
The majority of communication leaders who took part in the research describe a pattern of "disconnection and dishonesty" between politicians and the public that is culminating in an era perhaps best labelled as
- Post-truth: the rise of a political culture in which debate is framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored7
- Post-democratic: the entrenchment of a small elite within democratic countries that is taking decisions by co-opting democratic institutions8
- Post-post democratic: the move towards citizens increasingly forming their own organised and unorganised social movements, often online, as a response to widespread alienation from established political frameworks.
7"The post-truth world: yes, I'd lie to you," The Economist Sept 10, 2016; Post-truth was announced as Oxford English Dictionary's 2016 word of the year, https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/word-of-the-year/word-of-the year-2016
8 Colin Crouch, Policy Network 2011 "Is there a liberalism beyond social democracy?"
The potential driver of this "disconnection" is illustrated in our data: respondents report low levels of citizen-centricity and understanding. Only 40% of respondents describe their colleagues as "citizen focused". Only 26% agree that the voice of the citizen is taken into account in key decisions. Such low levels of citizen focus translate into communication that feels ill-tuned to the public's needs, re-enforcing the sense distrust and detachment.
"The Churchillian culture of telling the truth is now in the minority in Europe." – Communication Academic, Western Europe
"The times are crying out for genuine, inspired, honest leadership: governments absolutely need to be braver and much more honest." – Communication Leader, Multilateral Organisation
Respondents also cite confusion between what is political communication and what is public communication as a cause of declining levels of trust. As formerly clear boundaries are blurred, many respondents believe citizens are losing clarity between what is partisan and what is non-partisan.
The result is that a significant proportion of communication from government is viewed through a prism of electoral motivations rather than public service motivations. Respondents believe this is increasing public cynicism and disengagement.
Communication leaders also see the issue of falling trust as the result of rising incomes and rising expectations, something we have termed Amazon Syndrome: citizens can now access what they want, whenever they want it, a standard of personalisation and customer service that current models of government service are unable to match.
What can be done?
We believe that rebuilding a positive and trusting relationship with citizens is critical for effective governance. And while communication alone will not resolve the problem of declining trust in government, it can play an important role.
There is no single model to reverse or halt the decline in trust that has occurred over recent decades. Significant regional differences exist in the root causes of distrust. Very few responses have wide-spread application. However, there is broad agreement from respondents that rebuilding trust will require greater:
- Openness: improving real-time access to government and those who govern
- Inclusiveness: involving citizens, listening to and acknowledging their concerns, even where governments are unable to act on those concerns
- Responsiveness: improving the quality of and access to public services
- Reliability: delivering commitments and getting the "hygiene factors" right (if citizens can't trust their government with basic tasks such as public safety, they're unlikely to trust it with more complicated task such as data security and pensions management).
Generally, improving responsiveness and reliability lies outside the remit of communication functions. But government communicators have a legitimate responsibility to advise policymakers and politicians on how best to assure citizens that their needs and desires are being taken into account and, where this is not possible, to provide advice on how best to minimise any backlash. Frustratingly, few communication leaders are positioned to provide advice on such matters.
Tools and approaches that can help
We offer a range of classic and innovative research, data and analytics services that help governments and public bodies understand how they are perceived and connect better with citizens. These include:
- Reputational models, reputation tracking and argument testing
- Public opinion tracking and election research
- Public policy research
- Large-scale deliberative engagement techniques
- Tracking and longitudinal cohort studies
- Sophisticated media and social media monitoring and analytics
- Real-time dashboards.
One to watch: reputation models
A range of models exist that help governments understand how they are perceived. However, many of the measures they use are one dimensional, focusing on a single facet of reputation (for example, only trust or only performance). They give an indication of the what, but say little about the why.
Colmar Brunton's Public Sector Reputation Index in New Zealand:
- Assesses a wide range of reputation attributes: service delivery; financial responsibility; innovation; management and leadership; governance; employee commitment; social and environmental impact; and communications
- Groups them under four pillars: leadership and success; fairness; social responsibility; and trust
- Weights each against its potential to improve advocacy. This enables governments to benchmark their performance and prioritise areas for improvement.

Friday Top Five – Volume 12: Food Apps
My phone is rarely far from my grasp. Everything from the book I am reading, to the food I am eating, to where I am eating it, exists on my phone. I even have a folder dedicated to "Food," which is filled to capacity with apps. Calorie trackers, recipe finders, grocery list makers, you name, we've got it. Here are a list of just a few of our favorites. Happy Friday everyone!
GrubHub. Founded right here in Chicago, this is my go-to app for late night food delivery…or when I just don't feel like getting off the couch. They've done all the research for you and they make it easy to filter your options by pick-up / delivery or by your particular food craving, mine typically being burritos.
Urbanspoon. Todd and I usually hit up the same restaurants over and over again. Urbanspoon has forced us to change our routine. Shake up the Urbanspoon app, let it randomly choose a restaurant based on your criteria (location, type of food or dollar amount) and be on your way to a different restaurant each week (or each night!). You can even filter by Vegetarian only restaurants, bonus!
MyFitnessPal. Keeping track of your calories can be a task for sure, but the MyFitnessPal makes it super easy and kind of fun. The ability to look up most foods on the go is the only way I am going to keep up with my calorie intake and reach my goals.
Whole Foods Recipes. One of the best places to find inspiration or a new recipe, the Whole Food Recipe app is always open on my phone. Search by meal type, ingredient, or dietary needs, you will find a plethora of recipes to try.
Evernote Food. A great way to capture food when you are out and about with the ability of tagging places and key words. Can integrate with your other Evernote apps, track your favorite restaurants and recipes.

IBM has launched the cloud-based IBM Digital Marketing Network to give clients easy integration between more than 100 ad tech vendors. The network allows organizations to share analytics data with their other advertising and marketing solutions to inform media buys based on individual buyer behaviors in real-time.
The network harnesses Digital Data Exchange, IBM's tag management solution, that enables marketers to use a single tag to relay information to all partner platforms. The single tag simplifies implementation and eliminates the weight of having multiple tags for each solution.
Craig Hayman, IBM's general manager industry solutions said in a statement, "The IBM Digital Marketing Network eliminates the complexity and difficulty involved in placing third-party tags, enabling our clients to improve results
, and personalize the digital customer experience in real-time."
The network is part of IBM's Smarter Commerce initiative. In the interface, marketers can link marketing services together in as few as two clicks. Dashboards are customized for mobile and ecommerce to give clients views into how campaigns are performing across paid, earned and owned channels.
Current clients include promotional business gifts site Myron.com, which IBM cites as using the network to re-engage customers with display ads in real-time and learn more about onsite behaviors. Mark Pepin, vice president of global ecommerce at Myron.com said the network "reduces the dependency on aligning multiple partners. It also improves the implementation time-lines of our digital efforts and we see the immediate impact and results."
Partners include solutions from across the digital marketing spectrum including: ad networks such as Google and Advertising.com; DMPs like BlueKai and x+1; DSPs such as The Trade Desk and Turn; gamification, privacy management; search marketing platforms including Marin Software and DoubleClick Search; social engagement and loyalty services such as Bazaarvoice and CrowdTwist; as well as social media marketing and customer experience services such as Shoutlet and OpinionLab.
Network integrations are available immediately to IBM's Digital Marketing Optimization users.

You don't need to be slowed down writing tasks you don't have time to complete. Our professional writers can get you moving in the right direction again.
There are various situations where students and professionals alike, can become overwhelmed with an extraordinary workload. The real world of commitments, personal circumstances, hardships, and employment can make it quite tough to get everything done within the timeframes that we are given. We have heard too many heartbreaking stories from bright individuals who ended up dropping out of university because they couldn't meet the deadlines.
One of the secrets of highly successful people and good leaders is that they quickly learn how to delegate. Despite how trivial it may sound, delegating is a crucial skill needed when one is seeking to excel in their professional life. Many of the well-performing students who come from prestigious families understand this. Thus, that is why success, so often, runs in the family. Here is an example of one of the 'Write My Essay Reviews' written by a regular customer who shared how their experience with us turned out.
Still wondering where you can find professional essay writers? Give us a call today.
I have never been a huge fan of posting reviews in the past. But after calling on EssayService to have their essay writers help write my paper online, I thought I should take a moment to show my appreciation. The best way for me to do that, I thought, would be to explain how this essay writing service helped me achieve my goals.
I wasn't a particularly lucky person since I resumed my studies after helping my brother startup his business from scratch, which to this day still keeps us very busy. My studies are and always will be valuable to me, because I love the learning process. However, if I were to try to do everything myself, some other parts of my life would inevitably fall apart.
Some of the lessons that my brother and I learned throughout our entrepreneurial adventure was how to manage projects and delegate tasks. I have entrusted the day to day management of the family business to a team who has been with us for many years, but even though I have reduced my workload to complete my MBA, I still need to make myself available. Thus, since I can't be everywhere at once, I am grateful to be able to pay someone to write my essays. It is a underappreciated thing to be able to trust the reliability, competency, and anonymity of this professional paper writing service.
At the start of each academic term, I would read the class instructions and create a timeline of when all the term papers are due. Then I would decide which of these assignments I should dedicate my limited time to. Doing so allowed me to study the topics I enjoyed reading and learning about while delegating the tedious tasks to EssayService. From the very first time I asked them to write essays for me, they have always done it the way I needed it. Because of that, I have been using this company for essay help throughout my entire program. Honestly, folks, it is reassuring to have found a team who I can trust like I trust the team who runs our family business.
It has never been easier to find out how much it would cost to order a paper online.
Fully explore our professional essay writers list before reaching a final decision.
Not yet, unfortunately, as we use only the best of the best experts to provide the essay help you need.
It is not uncommon to hear people grumble about the amount they had to spend gathering information, despite being given the resources of a university campus. Such a chaotic process often leaves one thinking what could have happened had their time not been completely consumed by satisfying the criteria of so many assignments simultaneously. Students sometimes complain that, while the topics are interesting and they are engaged in the field, they have to channel so much of their time into tasks that they can't give the literature the time it deserves. Again, this is just another example that delegation works. Write what you can, focus on the topics that are most important to you and your goals. Only then send out a call to us to "help me write my college paper." The EssayService will take care of the tasks that you can't find the time for.
We see many requests from people saying "help me write my essay for free." That is why we have started asking some of our enthusiastic writers to produce content that offers a unique opportunity to students to expand their academic skills. We have also put lots of effort into streamlining our administration and order system so that we can keep the price of paper writing down to a minimum. Many people are surprised by how cheap it is to buy essays. It is less expensive to order essay help if you make your order well before the due date. Therefore, that means it pays to make custom writing a part of your time management plan at the beginning of each academic term. Nonetheless, we can still offer last minute emergency rescue help, written quick enough to get you out of trouble.
The reviews written by people who have asked us to write for them are not only valuable to our prospective customers; they are a critical part of the way we plan our continuous development to match all the essay help requests. The EssayService team prides themselves on their standard of services. We guarantee confidentiality, quality, and punctuality. By always striving to remain consistent in our delivery, we look forward to helping you for many years to come, even into your professional career. It is easily understandable that building a business relies on one's ability to create relationships of trust. Without the capacity to rely on one another neither party can successfully progress to the next stage. That is why when you ask, "can you help me write my essay for cheap," we are going to work hard for you every time. Order an essay online and discover how we can become partners in your success.

Pay-walls, News and the Public Interest - Does Journalism Exist?
Just read a brilliant lecture from Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the Guardian, "Does Journalism Exist?" in which he eloquently and diplomatically covers the major points and concerns facing the newspaper industry as it finally wakes up to the digital era. I've blogged some of my thoughts on newspapers before (and it seems this blog is going to be my main forum for media analysis now), however Rusbridger's lecture inspired lots of new thoughts.
I am so glad that a major media voice has finally challenged Murdoch's awful idea of pay-walls, and his evangelism for the 'end of free'. Rusbridger makes a neat argument about the short-sightedness of Murdoch's attacks on the BBC, and points out the hypocrisy the his media empire also expanding into free content, while simultaneously criticising it. In response to News Corp's demands for pay walls from everyone, Rusbridger concedes "There is probably general agreement that we may all want to charge for specialist, highly-targeted, hard-to-replicate content. It's the "universal" bit that is uncertain." I think he is referring here to the success of the Wall Street Journal charging for online subscriptions, yet it needs an important caveat. The market for specialist, highly-targeted, hard-to-replicate content is contingent on that content being uniquely valuable when it is not shared. For example with the WSJ, financial insights are more valuable the less other people have them. In fact, in the reputation economy online, the reverse is true - you gain value from sharing information, not with-holding it. Online there are many specialist communities creating highly targeted content for themselves that are not turning a profit, and probably wouldn't dream of making themselves exclusive through paid access, because there is little value to being the only one with the content, hence no one would pay for it. There would seem to be few cases where content or information access gives such a competitive advantage as in finance (commericial scientific/medical research perhaps, but thats another issue altogether). Most endeavours are more successful and productive when information is shared. So other then a tiny handful of examples, I don't think there is much of a future for the pay-wall model.
Of course this all neglects the fact that pay-walls just won't work anyway. Has Murdoch not heard of 'Copy - Paste'? In the current link ecosystem which the papers like to whine about, if they block the content with pay -walls then people will just move it onto their own sites. It only takes one person with access. As has happened with music, tv, movies - basically all other content, all of which is actually harder to copy then news (text essentially). The only way to prevent this would be an aggressive course of litigation, suing the customers that share, and we've seen just how successful that strategy was for the MPAA. Pay-walls just won't work Murdoch - let it go and move on!
Rusbringer uses a great term for the newspaper business model that is currently crumbling- "the Walmart-Baghdad subsidy theory – that it is retail display advertising that pays for the New York Times Iraq operation, not the readers." So why doesn't this model translate online? It's simple, online advertising has better metrics then the old system and can be much better targetted, offering vastly greater value for money to the advertisers. In the past advertisers had to saturate the market with their message to reach the right people, and newspapers where essentially soaking up the excess to cover the costs of the important stuff they wanted to do. Now, advertisers can target so specifically, they don't need to be wasteful, and there is vastly less excess value for funding the rest of the papers' 'public service' activities. One way to consider it is that corporations were indirectly paying for the public service of information dissemination. The corporate mindset is notoriously callous about the public interest - they only care for it when it's also directly in their interest, and newspapers where a handy way of making them pay for something they otherwise wouldn't have. To play devils advocate for a moment - so in the emerging cultural space, if corporations are better able to target their sales, at reduced costs, then it seems only fair to increase taxes on them, and funnel the revenue into the production of news in the public interest. I don't mean in the form of bigger budgets for public broadcasters, but in tax breaks for the individual - for the citizen journalists that are picking up the slack for the media empires, and doing it for free. Surely they should get a little something for their efforts.
I'm not saying this is necessarily the way for the news industry to move forward, but I think its an interesting angle to consider it from.
Phew, that will do for now. :P

Sewer Rehabilitation program & Work Schedule
Clarksville Gas and Water's ongoing sewer rehabilitation program is underway in North Clarksville and surrounding service area and your help and cooperation is needed. Rehab work will be done in and around manholes, sewer main lines and sewer lateral connections. While work is performed, customer sewer connections to the main line will be temporarily sealed off to help the work move forward. To avoid sewer backup during the process, it's important that customers limit water and toilet use or any activity that would send water into household drains and sewer lines.
To help you plan for the date you will be affected by the work, an advance letter of notification of the work schedule will be mailed directly to residents from the contractor. A weekly work schedule will also be advertised in local media outlets and on this web page. Please keep in mind that some work may not be completed within the scheduled week and will be rescheduled to the following week. The contractor's on-site personnel will also make door-to-door visits, 1 to 2 days in advance, to inform residents or to leave an informative door hanger of the work to be performed.
Additional Information
More information may also be obtained by calling Y'hanna Perez-Ortiz, P.E, Civil Engineer, at the Clarksville Gas and Water, Engineering Department at 931-645-7418. Customers are our number one priority and your understanding, cooperation and patience to help provide a well-maintained and efficient wastewater collection system is very much appreciated!
