How to find us
The house mouse is light brown to grey in colour and body length varies between 60-90mm, the tail can add an extra 100mm. The droppings are black and rod shaped, measuring 3-6mm. The maximum reproductive potential of a pair of mice and their young in one year is 2,000.
Their favourite foods are cereal products but they will eat almost anything. Mice foul food with urine and droppings. Mice will gnaw their way through wood to get to sources of food.
Poor hygiene provides the ideal environment for mice to live and breed in. You should avoid spilt foodstuffs or scraps littering floors, shelves, units or work surfaces.
Where possible, keep food in mouse proof containers.
Mice can squeeze through very small openings (5mm). They often find access to houses through air-bricks, spaces around gas, water and waste pipes, electric cables or under ill-fitting doors.
All holes should be filled in, air-bricks and ventilators should be covered with a fine mesh gauze. Attention to holes above ground level is also required as mice can climb rough surfaces. Always carry out proofing measures after an infestation is destroyed.
The Council currently provide a free service for the treatment of mice in domestic premises. Pest control officers may survey the premises and may then use poison bait in suitable locations. Contact the Public Protection Department on 01656 643260.
You can treat for mice yourself using the following methods.
Old-fashioned break back traps can be effective. The traps can be bought from most hardware stores and garden centers. For best results, several traps should be used. The traps should be placed at right angles to the wall that the mice are running along.
Use cereals or chocolate as bait. Please set traps where young children cannot reach them.
There are several mouse poisons available from hardware stores and garden centers that give excellent results if used correctly. The manufacturers instructions must be followed for safe use.
For further advice or to report an infestation please contact us on (01656) 643643 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Presented by Scott Miller Berry (Images Festival Director) & Pablo De Ocampo (Images Festival Artistic Director); Toronto, Canada
This selection of films was presented as a part of the 23rd annual Images Festival in Toronto bringing together work by both emerging and more established artists. Bookended by two short videos from Toronto artist Jon Sasaki, culled from a series of works shot on a high speed 16mm scientific camera. In these works, the camera captures the artist in the midst of seemingly potent action, which when projected back at 24 frames per second, the extreme slow motion of the actions on screen has the effect of abstracting the movement as well as drawing out, and heightening the drama and the anticipation of a moment the audience all knows is about to happen. This program delves into varied states of these same cinematic evocations of the body and the potentiality of action, danger, and drama. Here, the physical space of the characters on screen is removed, obscured, disembodied through memories and melodrama.

Rosy in the throes of new romance, Slatsjana is waiting impatiently for her lover's knock at the door. Alone in the master bedroom, she slips a pink gingham dress and silky kneehighs over her lithe body. Warm springtime breezes, drifting gently through her parted curtains, have put this gorgeous blonde into quite the amorous mood. Kneeling on the king-sized bed, Slatsjana sways her hips sensually to the radio. Her fingertips begin skimming over her soft exposed skin. Her own touch sends delicious shivers down her spine in anticipation of her beloved's embrace. Craving more of this luminous pleasure, Slatsjana undresses slowly, gliding her hands over her pert rosebud nipples and pierced wet pussy. Putting on a solo softcore striptease, Slatsjana brings her smoldering longing into a raging fire of passionate sexual desire.

This doctor comes off as judgmental , arrogant and rude. I avoid getting treatment because it is an altogether unpleasant experience. The wait in the nasty waiting room is about an hour min and then you wait in another small room after that only to be brushed off.
4.0 of 5
July 24th, 2013
She actually as a doctor, is very informative. He office staff is what makes the visit not too pleasurable. They have attitudes when you walk in, the wait is like ridiculously long. Then you will get in your room and wait another hour until she comes in, she comes in ask maybe 2 or 3 questions and is out, and that may be because she is just that good but I don't feel like she is in there long enough. Also it is very hard to schedule an appointment. Not because she is booked but because no one answers the phone or gives you a call back. I literally walked in and the front desk girls were just chatting and laughing away.

After moving back to Phoenix, Alison and Matthew King bought a nice two-story condo with a garage.
The 1999 tract home had decent windows, contemporary glass panels flanking the staircase, and a loft. It seemed like a good starter home, a way to stop paying rent. Yet, the day they moved in, they felt sick.
Through the windows, they could see little more than neighbors' walls. The white carpet now seemed impractical. The red-tile roof and stucco exterior of the 1999 tract home now felt more faux than fab.
"We were like, 'What did we just do?' " Alison recalled of that day in 2002. "It was a really nice home, it just wasn't right for us."
As design instructors and artists, the Kings realized that this pseudo-modern house with its tiny patios and no views - a type of uninspired abode that Alison now dubs a "stucco crackerbox" - wasn't going to be their dream home.
They craved a place that celebrated design and harkened to the Valley's storied Midcentury Modern roots - a time when architects were throwing out brave, new unadorned forms. They wanted honest materials: concrete, metal, wood. They wanted clean lines and efficient spaces. In short, they wanted architecture - affordably.
So they started driving, and driving, exploring neighborhoods neither had paid much attention to while growing up in the Valley. Before long, their search grew into a passion for the city's architecture, a website called Modernphoenix.net, a campaign to save historic buildings and an active community of like-minded people who call themselves MoPhos.
When they first met in the late 1980s, Matthew was a student at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, Alison was attending Saguaro High School in Scottsdale.
"I would run into him at parties, but he was always taken," she said.
During Matthew's sophomore year, he transferred to Alison's school. By the time they worked together on the yearbook as seniors (she as editor; he as a photographer), they were inseparable.
When Alison decided to attend Parsons the New School for Design, part of the New School university in New York City, Matthew got accepted to Eugene Lang College the New School for Liberal Arts and later transferred to Parsons.
"For me, it was New York or ASU," Alison said. "I (decided), 'What am I doing staying here when I could go be a starving artist in New York City?' "
Three years into their studies, living in a tiny East Village apartment, they arrived at a pivotal point in their lives. They would return to Arizona for a five-week internship at architect Paolo Soleri's Arcosanti, the prototype for an eco-friendly city, near Cordes Junction.
Alison and Matthew lived in a small, spare, concrete-and-glass cube by a creek and worked on landscaping, hanging drywall and even pouring the famous bronze Soleri wind bells.
"That whole five-week process purged Matt and I of our attachment to material things and big-city life," Alison said. "It just changed the way we wanted to live." It also brought them closer.
"After we got back to New York, I proposed to him," she said.
Matthew designed their wedding rings from the same bar of platinum, and they married a year later, in August 1994, at a civil ceremony in Sedona. The reception was a picnic-blanket lunch on the banks of Oak Creek.
Back in New York, they moved to the top floor of a three-story Brooklyn townhome to finish their studies. Alison earned a master's degree in teaching from Columbia University after receiving a bachelor of fine arts from Parsons; Matthew, who studied science and technology, and furniture design, has a product-design degree from Parsons.
By 1999, the couple started thinking about where they wanted to raise a family. That year, when a family member became ill, they moved back to Phoenix, thinking it might be temporary.
"Very quickly we really liked living here," Matthew said. The city seemed to have grown up in the decade they were gone. After World War II, Phoenix had become a mecca for architects and designers, rushing to build housing, churches, schools and municipal buildings for a growing city.
"Phoenix has a design community, and the design community is much more accessible than New York's," Matthew said. "There's a lot of interesting work that has happened here and that is still happening."
The Kings realized that their studies had given them new eyes.
"Before I went to New York, architecture was kind of transparent to me," Alison said. But frequent trips to the Museum of Modern Art and studying Modernism made her understand what an architectural treasure trove the Valley held. She recognized that the 1960s Hallcraft home in which she grew up and St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, which she attended, were noteworthy architectural works.
"When Matthew and I would come back for winter break, we noticed Midcentury Modern masterpieces everywhere."
* * *
By 2003, the couple started a serious search for a Midcentury gem of their own. Their son, Oscar, born that January, helped the quest.
"He was a very colicky baby, and driving was the only thing that would calm him down," Alison recalled. So drive and drive they did.
Alison estimates that the Valley has a dozen neighborhoods with beautifully preserved or renovated Midcentury Modern homes and 20 other neighborhoods with nice design touches from the era. (Windemere, Marlen Grove and Paradise Gardens in Phoenix are some the more recognizable subdivisions.)
In the midst of scouring Phoenix for these pockets of homes with clean lines and good bones, Alison decided to organize her research online. She started Modernphoenix.net, upon which so much has since unfolded - including finding their own perfect home.
The website started small, with a few photo surveys of cool Midcentury neighborhoods the couple had found, mostly through word of mouth. At first, Matthew was hesitant to post too much about specific neighborhoods they wanted to live in, for fear they'd shut themselves out of the market, which was still peaking. Indeed, as soon as the site went live, the Kings found a community of people just like them: sick of stucco boxes, hankering for affordable design and fascinated by modernism of all eras, especially the Valley's postwar housing boom.
"It's a very optimistic architecture that has ideas behind it that were, at the time, radical," Alison says.
She created discussion forums on everything from modern building materials to do-it-yourself tips on renovating historic properties.
"It became apparent that people were starving for this stuff," she said.
You know you've started a movement when like-minded enthusiasts have a nickname. The Kings cheekily call Modern Phoenix fans MoPhos, for Modern Phoenicians.
* * *
Today, the area's modern architects know Alison King, as do homeowners, preservationists and others who admire Phoenix's postwar architecture. Last month, the American Institute of Architects Arizona gave her the Award of Distinction for "contributing to understanding, interpretation and awareness of Midcentury Modern architecture in Arizona."
"She's done an amazing job at bringing to light some of the incredible work that was done in the '50s and '60s," said James Trahan, owner and principal architect of 180 Degrees Inc. in Phoenix. "She's documented subdivisions in Phoenix that I've seen no one take the lead on. . . . She really does her homework."
King, 38, feels she's where she's meant to be. With long, brown hair and glasses that look a tad retro, she said she has always been drawn to the 1940s and '50s.
"Going back, I was born to do this," she said, recalling that 1940s movies were "like my gateway drug."
She has also become a preservationist and seems to have led a new generation to the charge.
Just as she was researching gems by architectural giants - such as the clean, glass-and-steel modernist Al Beadle; the prolific and popular Ralph Haver; the Frank Lloyd Wright-trained Blaine Drake; custom-home guru and social/civic leader Fred Guirey - several Midcentury Modern buildings were becoming targets for demolition by Valley developers.
Jim McPherson, a board member of the Arizona Preservation Foundation, describes Alison as a "quiet dynamo."
"She's passionate, but she does it in a cool, calm and collected way," he said. "The research that she's done individually and with her cohorts has been incredibly helpful in raising that awareness of what we did have and what we will still have if we don't tear it down."
On the preservation front, Alison admits there have been ups and downs.
She watched Beadle's Mountain Bell building and the former Washburn Piano building (by Haver's mentor Ed Varney) meet cruel ends in Phoenix. Other significant Midcentury works, such as Beadle's White Gates residence, a 1950s home at the base of Camelback Mountain, so far have been spared.
* * *
After starting Modernphoenix.net, Alison and Matthew's exhaustive search for their own home finally paid off. It was practically delivered to them via their in-box.
A homeowner e-mailed Alison, asking if she wanted to look at a fixer-upper Midcentury Modern home that had to be sold. The 1946 central Phoenix home, designed by Haver (who worked with homebuilders and developers to design mass-produced tract homes) wasn't officially on the market.
Alison knew right away that the red-brick home, the second or third custom home built by Haver (next door to his own), was a real opportunity.
Five years later, the Kings have restored much of the house and have several projects on their to-do list. While the renovations are meticulous, the space feels anything but sterile (though the growing Modernphoenix archive is encroaching on the living room).
She's glad to let others in, hoping it and other successfully remodeled Midcentury Modern homes will be a beacon.
"We encourage people to put on their Modern goggles and see beyond popcorn ceilings and layers of paint and linoleum and appreciate the original architectural intent," she said.
"Half the fun is stripping them down and bringing them back to their simple glory."
That - and some clamoring for a MoPho gathering - is what prompted the Kings to start the Modern Phoenix home tour.
In 2005, about 120 people showed up to tour a handful of Haver homes in Phoenix's Windemere subdivision, near Arcadia High School. By its second year, the tour had ballooned to include speakers and an expo devoted to Midcentury products and services.
For the sixth annual tour last April, more than 800 people explored homes in the Paradise Gardens subdivision. All the tickets sold out the week before the tour.
Alison gets some interesting requests, everything from leading people on private tours of the city's Midcentury gems to speaking gigs. Lately, she has been asked whether she's considering writing a book that puts her formidable knowledge and growing archives to use.
She juggles the website with her home life and her passion for teaching at the Art Institute of Phoenix. She has written Wikipedia entries about Haver and other Midcentury architects, adding detailed lists of their residential and commercial projects. She feels strongly about clearing up misconceptions about who built what in the city.
"I don't want to be seen as the star-map lady," she said. "I really see my role as connecting people. . . . It's like being a concierge in a way. I do a lot of fielding questions."
Long-term, she hopes the snowballing community of people grows even more influential so that Midcentury gems are restored and not bulldozed to make room for McMansions.
On the backburner for the moment is her work as a mixed-media artist - she makes use of materials salvaged from demolished Midcentury icons.
And she's already focused on the next Modern Phoenix home tour, which may explore one of the neighborhoods that first sparked Modernphoenix.net.
"She's amazing," said Matthew, who also teaches design at the Art Institute of Phoenix and moderates forums on Modernphoenix. "She's got a lot of energy. It takes a lot of time to do this. It's not a little project."
Trahan, the architect, concurs.
"She just seems tireless," he said, "and the community is better off for it."

The stakes are high in white collar crime cases. The reputation, business and career you've worked so hard to establish may hang in the balance. Additionally, you could be facing frightening criminal consequences — potential prison time and thousands of dollars in fines, for example.
These cases demand an especially thoughtful approach. At The Law Offices of Benjamin Nadig, Chtd., you will find the experienced legal advocacy you need to pursue a favorable resolution. I handle every case with the utmost of dedication and discretion. I know what's at stake, and I will do everything in my power to shield you from the potentially life-altering fallout of criminal allegations.
Benefit From The Experience Of A Former Prosecutor
Criminal law has been a major focus of my practice throughout my career. Before entering private practice as a defense lawyer, I gained a valuable foundation of courtroom experience as a prosecuting attorney for the City of Las Vegas. Before that, I handled complex securities litigation, which gave me a thorough understanding of the corporate world. This background equips me with the ability to manage large-scale discovery and document review with a meticulous attention to detail.
I know how the other side thinks. I understand their strategies — and how to effectively counter them.
My experience also extends to defending clients against federal charges. I am well-versed in the procedural nuances of federal court, and I understand how to navigate complex federal charges.
I handle all types of white collar crime defense at the state and federal level, including:
- Tax fraud or evasion
- Embezzlement
- Allegations of identity theft
- Mail and wire fraud charges
- Securities fraud
- Federal firearms offenses
- Money laundering
- Racketeering
My clients include both Nevada residents and out-of-state visitors. Whether you are local or out of state, I will work hard to minimize the impact of the charges on your life and livelihood.

1 International Service Learning in an Information Systems Course Winston Tellis Dolan School of Business Fairfield University
2 Introduction Outline of course Explanation of Ignatian Pedagogy Service Learning (SL) International SL
3 Ignatian Pedagogy Developed by Ignatius of Loyola to train Jesuits Pedagogy of teaching and learning Works within any curricula Leads learner away from utilitarian leanings, financial success Leads to develop reasoned attitudes, concern for greater good rather than personal gain Paradigm of experience, reflection, and action Instructor accompanies learners as they encounter truth and explore deeper meaning
4 Ignatian Pedagogy Loop: context, experience, reflection, action, evaluation Context: instructor learns about the learners environment Experience: get students to experience material with mind, heart, and will; bring it alive Reflection: students assimilate facts; consider relationship to others, and topics; instructor pivotal Action: proceeds from experience, reflection Evaluation: assess well-rounded growth
5 Experience Evaluation Reflection Action
6 Ignatian Pedagogy Leads to personal growth, concern for others, value-based judgments, less self-centered individuals Instructor guides the students path through self- discovery
7 Service Learning A natural way to implement Ignatian pedagogy See Bringle-Hatcher definition andBringle-Hatcher definition Jesuit university definition Both definitions engage the Academy in vigorous partnership searching for answers to social, civic, economic, moral problems At Fairfield, we include many of the following in SL courses:
8 Understand that service learning is an accepted, rigorous, academic, and discipline-based pedagogy distinct from other traditional and experiential approaches to teaching and learning Promote service-learning as an effective pedagogy for the enhancement of student learning Value and promote education with diverse populations through service-learning and international-immersion programs Foster an atmosphere of open discourse and careful, respectful listening where freedom of thought and expression are valued and protected Encourage critical thinking about social, economic and political structures locally, nationally and internationally Promote ethical behavior in instruction, service, assessment, and community-based research Understand the community as our co-educator and an essential partner for effective and holistic student learning
9 Respect the integrity and wisdom of local communities and their abilities to develop solutions that address their needs Seek input and guidance from our community partners as we strive to support their efforts and self-determination Work with community partners who promote the dignity of each person, seek sustainable solutions, and protect and preserve natural resources Engage in work that builds upon the respective assets and resources of Fairfield University and our community partners Welcome all members of the University who desire to engage with and learn through service with the community Recognize a special relationship with and responsibility to the Greater Bridgeport Area, as we seek to be a responsible institutional citizen and a caring neighbor

21 Assessment of outcome Did they learn about the disadvantaged? Did they seek reasons? Are they likely to continue involvement? Did they learn to listen? Did they allow solutions to emerge from local people (subsidiarity)?
22 Student Learning Outcomes from Service-Learning Experiences Include: Deeper understanding of course concepts Exposure to related individual, institutional, and social issues Increased civic awareness and engagement Increased exposure to and enhanced appreciation for diversity Awareness of social justice issues Development of relationships in the community Personal growth and broader worldview Re-examination of career objectives (SL Outcomes, 2007)
Lessons Learned … Trips to developing countries important for sense of globalization Instructor should be experienced in country and site Students should be culturally and topically prepared Local transportation is a major issue Include the cultural and tourist side of country in the students exposure Significant impact on students
Course-based, credit-bearing educational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility (Bringle and Hatcher, 1995)
Jesuit service learning embraces Ignatian pedagogy by the mutual enhancement of learning with service, justice, and related civic engagement activities. Through reflection, students recognize and expand their understanding of the challenges faced by people who are marginalized and oppressed. Respect for reciprocal relationships, through community partnerships, is central to the successful integration of academic learning and experience, and enlarges the worldviews of all involved. As a students intellectual and personal awareness develops, there is transformative spiritual and humanistic growth leading to continued action for the benefit of the common good

America's War On Poverty Has Been Going BrokeDean Foust
The Clinton Administration has modestly increased funding for low-income programs. But over the past decade, the federal government's antipoverty campaign has suffered major losses during this era of fiscal conservatism and nagging inflation, according to Washington-based Center on Budget & Policy Priorities. The center calculates that in the current fiscal year, federal appropriations for nonentitlement programs for the poor will run 40% lower in inflation-adjusted dollars than in fiscal 1981. The biggest cutbacks have come in subsidized housing programs, which--adjusted for inflation--have been slashed 62% since 1981. Other cutbacks, after taking inflation into account, include employment and training programs, down 59%; community-development block grants, down 29%; energy assistance, down 54%; and legal services, down 26%.

Deep navy blue cotton warp with ecru wild silk/cotton weft. A beautifully soft and supportive wrap.
Blend: 25% Wild Silk, 75% Cotton
Color: Navy Blue, Ecru
Size: 190cm - 2m after washing
Ring Color: Silver
Shoulder: Gathered
Gathered Ring Sling Shoulder to our products. This has been widely used by babywearers for quite some time now and is a tried and tested favourite. This shoulder style is relatively unstructured as the fabric is gathered directly through the rings with no folds. This allows you to spread and move the fabric very easily on your shoulder for even weight distribution.
Oscha ring slings can also be worn on either shoulder. We include an instruction brochure with each sling, please take time to study this and practice as ring slings are extremely comfy and easy to use but it can take a little time and some adjustment to hit the sweet spot!
Washing: Silk, Wool, Cashmere:
We recommend hand washing these fabrics. This can be done by putting some suitable wool/silk/cashmere soap in the bath tub and gently agitating the wrap in it. Then squeeze off any excess water (without wringing), roll in towels and step on them to dry further water. Alternatively you can use the cool handwash setting on your washing machine if it has one. Wool and cashmere should be laid flat to dry. You should avoid drying silk in direct sunlight. They can be ironed on a very cool setting.

Wait -- Schutze Asks For Calm?
Just moments ago I spoke with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials at Lake Lewisville and at Corps regional headquarters in Fort Worth, all of whom have assured me there have been no "unusual" releases of water from the six Corps-controlled lakes upstream from Dallas on the Trinity River.
But, uh …
They did release about 5,000 cubic feet per second from Lewisville for a while, about 48 hours ago. That water has already gone through. They say that was no biggie, a minor release.
And, uh …

The river is now at a "flood stage" of 40 feet downtown. Take that to mean it's about 35-feet deep. Forget about the five-foot difference. Not important, too complicated. It's 35-feet deep.
Before the storm, the river was at a stage of 25 feet. About 20-feet deep. So in the last several days it has come up 15 feet.
Now, uh …
Records show it can get to about a stage of 50 feet before it overtops the levees. Ten feet to go. The Lake Lewisville release 48 hours ago, which is all gone now, would have been about enough to raise the flood stage 14 inches on the levee. So, according to my math, it would take a release eight or nine times the size of that one to overtop the levees.
Except that, uh …
There is lots more water going into the river than just the lake releases. You've got the City of Dallas, for example, pumping water over the tops of the levees like mad from the sumps -- the areas where runoff from the city gathers. And above the levee system, you have plain old runoff.
Yeah, but, uh …
The Corps told me that the levee system at its present stage is carrying only 20 percent of the water it is designed to hold. So the volume out there would have to increase fivefold to generally overtop and defeat the levees. And that would take a whole lot more rain than we've seen so far.
And, uh … that won't happen. Right? --Jim Schutze

Rugby fans were treated to some thrilling rugby over the weekend with 11 trys being scored across the three games. England pulled away from a visibly knackered Italian side in the second half, Wales made a great comeback to oust an unfortunate Scotland and France left it late to defeat the Irish – this weekend had it all!
Let's look back on some of the best trys of the round –
1. Jonathan Joseph v Italy
His second of three fantastic trys has to be the best. The chip from Danny Care made it, but the run was timed to perfection!
2. Gareth Davies v Scotland
After an exquisite chip from Dan Biggar, man mountain Jamie Roberts knocks it down for Davies to run 50 metres and score in the corner.
3. George North v Scotland
The man is back! After a poor run of five test matches without a try the Welsh wing turned the Scots into statues, running past four to score a superb try.
4. Tommy Seymour v Wales
The Scottish winger showed that his team could match Wales in terms of fine trys with this fantastic effort from a perfectly weighted Finn Russell chip!
5. Owen Farrell v Italy
Alreadyy 33-9 up, England turned the screw on the Italians with a lovely offload from Saracens prop Jamie George to send his team mate Farrell over for England's fifth try of the match.
And there you have it our top five trys from the round. What's your favourite?

Latest Insights
UK retailers key to domestic manufacturing growth
With the value of the UK clothing market set to soar over the next five years, and consumers taking more of an interest in the origin and qu...
Asos a structural winner in apparel retail
Online fashion retailer Asos is a structural winner in apparel retail, analysts believe, despite the group issuing a profit warning earlier...
An unexpected profit warning from retailer Asos highlights, analysts suggest, one of the pitfalls of the economic recovery - and will likely shock an industry that has become accustomed to stories of success from the online fashion firm.
Eastern Europe was one of the world's biggest opportunities for apparel retailers in 2012. But despite the region's overall glowing prospects compared to its Western European counterpart, closer analysis by Euromonitor International highlights a marked intra-regional divergence.
The recent garment factory tragedies in Bangladesh are pushing the industry towards a tipping point - as consumers call for increased sustainability and information about where their clothes come from, according to speakers at the recent Source Sustainability Summit.
Featured reports from just-style's research store this week include a look at temperature control fabrics, a profile of outdoor clothing firm Patagonia, and a company briefing on online apparel retailer Asos.
Latest Interviews
Online fashion retailer Asos seems to be coasting through the retail slump with two main selling points - Internet and celebrity. Joe Ayling interviews Asos CEO Nick Robertson to find out more.
Latest News
Online apparel retailer Asos has once again partnered with African clothing workshop SOKO Kenya to release its latest sustainable fashion collection.
Asos has upped its full-year outlook as the online fashion retailer booked higher sales and earnings in its first-half thanks to an accelerated international performance.
The death of the department store, the exaggerated rise of Amazon as an apparel retailer power, and the threat of European fast-fashion specialists to US retail are among a number of misconceptions currently bedevilling the retail industry, a new report explains.
The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) says demand for more sustainable cotton is on the rise, with Swedish retailer H&M and sportswear giants Adidas and Nike leading the field in its 'Better Cotton league'.
Online fashion retailer Asos has made a strong start to the year with a 36% hike in first-quarter revenue, and says it will invest more in expansion after upping its sales guidance for the full year.
Many of the key themes that dominated the European retail scene in 2016 are expected to continue into this year, analysts believe, as retailers prepare for more currency headwinds, unseasonal weather, a continued shift to e-commerce and whatever hurdles Brexit will bring.
The majority of large apparel brands are ignoring the "endemic" abuse of Syrian refugees in Turkish clothing factories supplying European retailers, a new report has found.
Asos saw its share price fall this morning (18 October) as the online retailer revealed a 31% fall in full-year earnings on costs related to the exit of its China business and trademark infringement disputes.
UK-based online fashion retailer Asos has an opportunity to capitalise on the growth of the US apparel market by investing in pricing, its product range and local fulfilment infrastructure, analysts believe.
Asos is to pay more than GBP20m (US$26.7m) to two European retailers over an alleged trademark infringement on their names following a six-year battle with the online fashion retailer.
Online fashion retailer Asos has reported strong third-quarter results, adjusting its full-year sales outlook to the higher end of guidance and reaffirming its commitment to reinvestment.
Online fashion retailer Asos has delivered a better than expected first-half performance, and said it will focus on reinvesting cost savings back into the business, particularly logistics, in order to drive further growth.
In a recent survey of 6,000 consumers by retail analysts Conlumino, Sainsbury's topped the poll as the nation's favourite fashion retailer. We take a look at some of the other shops who came out on top.
Analysts have voiced their disappointment at the latest Asos trading update, which saw the online fashion retailer lower its full-year profit forecast.
The investment strategy implemented by Asos should place it in a stronger position, analysts believe, after the online fashion retailer revealed declining first-half earnings but stronger sales growth.
In what it thought to be one of Europe's largest logistics deals, online fashion retailer Asos has signed a GBP100m (US$155.5m) three-year contract covering the management of its worldwide distribution centre.
UK online clothing retailer Asos has appointed former Marks & Spencer executive Ian Dyson as a senior independent and non-executive director.
Asos executive director of product and trading, Kate Bostock, has resigned from the online retailer after just six months in the role.
JD Sports Fashion has named Gwynn Milligan managing director of its Bank fashion stores, replacing Peter Alecock who has been promoted to group commercial operations director.
Clothing retailers met with UK government representatives yesterday (3 July) to discuss ways to improve their supply chains following the collapse of the Rana Plaza apparel factory building in Bangladesh earlier this year.
Companies representing more than a third of UK clothing sales have signed the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP) 2020 Commitment, a scheme that will see them work together to reduce the environmental footprint of clothing.
H&M-owned fashion brand Monki has teamed up with UK-based online clothing retailer Asos to sell its merchandise globally.
Online clothing retailer Asos has recorded continued strong growth, driven by good momentum both in the UK and internationally.

Alaska Airlines wants you to check in earlier
Alaska Airlines said it's moving its mandatory check-in time to 40 minutes before a flight from the previous 30-minute time.
Alaska, a unit of Alaska Air Group Inc., said moving the check-in time to 40 minutes will "make it easier" for fliers to remember.
"The new policy will make check-in times the same for everyone, making it easier for passengers to remember the cutoff, regardless of how they are checking in and whether they're checking a bag," said Jeff Butler, Alaska Airlines' vice president of customer service – airports and cargo, in a statement.
If a flier misses the 40-minute check-in cut-off, Alaska said the passenger will be offered a $25 same-day confirmed seat on the next available flight, depending on availability.
At several U.S. airports, Alaska has an even longer check-in time requirement — 45 minutes at airports including Atlanta, Denver, Las Vegas, Newark and Philadelphia.
Alaska Airlines and sister airline Horizon Air fly about half the annual traffic at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

I have this little game I like to play called, "Planning out the rest of my (Jason's, Sydney's) life." It's very similar to the game of Life, where you look ahead to see that if you roll a 6 then you get to live in a mansion. But if you roll a 1, too bad, you're living in a sleeping bag under the Burnside Bridge. There are little stops along the way to pick up a husband and a certain amount of children. Congratulations! It's a girl. Or twins! Or triplets! And hooray! they're all tax deductable and what a lot of money you get back for them when you're done playing.
In my little game, I start playing at unexpected moments, with varying options to work with. Like yesterday, in church, had you glanced over my way you would have seen me taking copious notes. Ah, yes, you might have remarked, she's really interested in this early church history bit. "The purpose of the church..." scribble scribble scribble... "and our mission as a church..." scribble scribble scribble. Diligent churchgoer.
But take a closer look at my bulletin and you would have seen numbers: 94, 96, 97, 00. The year that I graduated from high school, followed by the years that my siblings graduated from high school. Then off to the side: 12, 9, 8. The grades that, at this point, our hypothetical children will be in when Sydney is a senior. (I wasn't up to figuring out the math of when she'll graduate from high school.)
The "Siblings" version of the game.
At this point, the game gets a little bit crazy with all sorts of hypotheticals. I try to figure out how much value I should put on my experiences of going to high school with my siblings, so that if in some world (that is not run by me) Sydney does not end up with similar experiences I can estimate how much disappointment I will face as a parent. Emotional algebra, in which we have no control of the numbers.
Even after church I'm still trying to figure out how we (I) can make it work.
"If Sydney's in 12th grade," I say to Jason, "and hypothetical child #2--"
"---which we don't have---"
"---right, kid #2 is in 9th grade, that'll still be okay, right? Maybe some of the same sports? Maybe choir?"
"Or," he says, and here I have trapped him into my little game, "she could be old for her grade. Turn 19 at the end of her senior year. Like Joanna." Ever mindful of sports: Joanna was his star basketball player.
"Possibly." I mull it over and crunch more numbers.
"One tricky thing is if child #2 is graduating from high school the same summer that Sydney gets married. Don't want to take away attention from that."
Pause. He says, "You know, you can't actually plan when she gets married."
"Well, obviously. But if she is anything like me, then I would suspect she'd get married."
"But," he counters, "she really is more like me."
And here, Jason has lost a turn because he forgot that he got married. At the same age I did.
Clearly, playing games like these will drive a person crazy because just when you think you've got it planned out then it all goes haywire. Sydney was planned. End-of-the-school-year baby. We made plans for next baby. I look ahead and see that if I roll a 5, the kids will be two years apart.
But then we didn't get pregnant. I rolled a 2, got pregnant, so the kids would be two years, three months, apart. Then I misplayed, and got sent back to the beginning, and now we've missed the 2 1/2 years mark.
I realize how completely insane I am to even have these conversations with myself. And perhaps more insane to let you see into this crazy little corner of my brain.
I asked my mom to email me some pictures of me and my brother--we're 14 months apart--when he had his birthday was last week. He and I were good little buddies, even though there were a few rough years in there. I looked through all those pictures and thought, "That's what it was like to have a sibling."
I can't go back in time and give Sydney a sibling closer to her age. And to be fair, I didn't really want kids that close. Just now, as the window gets wider and wider, I start to feel a little panic. I try to calm down: my sister and I are 3 years apart. We're close. But we had my brother between us to bridge the gap.
Just when I think I should have done a better job on my game strategy, then beautiful moments in life pop up. Getting to spend time with Sydney. Getting to devote all my attention to her. And joy of joys, getting to see her play with her cousin Clover, a mere six weeks older.
Yesterday, as we were celebrating Clover's second birthday at my parents' house, I instinctively knew that no matter what happens she'll have her favorite cousin Clover right by her side. It isn't quite the same as having a sibling, but it's the next best thing.
It's impossible to plan everything, impossible to gauge how excited or disappointed we'll be when things go a certain way, impossible to know what life has around the next corner. I'll never stop planning--it's part of who I am--but I don't want to worry so much about the uncontrollable that I forget what I have.
If all I have at the end of the game is a little blue peg for Jason, a pink peg for me, and a pink peg for Sydney...I have to say, that's a win.

A ceremony to celebrate the 135th anniversary of the Azerbaijani national press has been held at the Gulustan Palace
The ceremony began with the playing of the national anthem of the Azerbaijan Republic.
At the ceremony, the chief-of-staff of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, Academician Ramiz Mehdiyev, said:
- Dear representatives of the press media!
After the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was established in 1918, the national press was actively involved in promoting the ideas of freedom and strengthening the independence. Legal documents reflecting the freedom of speech and the media were adopted at that time, and the Azerbaijan Newspaper started functioning under the leadership of Uzeyir Bay and Ceyhun Bay Hacibaylis. In the two years of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic's existence, a total of 129 newspapers and magazines were published in the country.
The head of the department on public and political issues of the Presidential Administration, Ali Hasanov, informed the ceremony participants of resolutions signed by President Ilham Aliyev "On providing media representatives of the Azerbaijan Republic with honorary titles", "On awarding media representatives of the Azerbaijan Republic with Progress Medal" and "On financing the activities to celebrate the 135th anniversary of the Azerbaijani national press and on provision of one-off assistance to mass media of the Azerbaijan Republic", all dated 21 July 2010, and "On measures to strengthen the social protection of Azerbaijani media representatives" dated 22 July 2010.

The Solidarity Economy
The Solidarity Economy is based on the concept that all economic development should take the needs of the entire community into account, allow democratic participation by all affected community members and use technology to promote harmony between humans and the environment. Individuals work in an organized, communal manner towards improving the lives of the group, seeking unity and promoting democracy in the producing process. The system promotes the exchange of goods and services so as to favor both the producers and consumers. IDEX's partner DESMI is guided by the ideology of Solidarity Economy, which it has used over the decades to create equitable and sustainable development solutions. DESMI sees their model not as something specific only to their region, but a practice that could be useful for marginalized communities worldwide. Here are the principles of the Solidarity Economy as well as the comparisons with the current neoliberal capitalist system from Jorge Santiago, Director of DESMI.
The principles of the Solidarity Economy
- The search for the integral development of the human being.
- Mutual support and help.
- The search for the development of society
- Construction of a social enterprise though local development.
- Technology and financing for human development.
- Respect for nature and human beings.
- Development of the individual and his/her community.
- Right to work, education, health, rest and a dignified life.
- Importance of cultural values as a people.
- Construction of democracy.
A comparison between the Neoliberal Economy and the Solidarity Economy
|1. The role of labor
|a) Produce goods for sale
b) Provide services
|a) Satisfy needs
b) Realize your potential
|2. Organization of labor
|Hierarchical owners are bosses
|a) Democratic
b) Support for the group
c) Group decision-making
d) As culture
|3. Technology
|Substitution of human labor
|An instrument for labor
|4. Land
|a) Merchandise
b) Individual property
c) Business
|a) Sustenance
b) Collective property or individual property under collective use.
|5. Production
|For the market
|a) For yourself/your family
b) To exchange
c) For the market
|6. Product pricing
|Depends on supply and demand
|Depends on the work and its relationship to other products
|7. The market.
|Controlled by global big business and banks
|Controlled by producers and consumers, according to their real needs
|8. Money
|Commodity, power
|A means of exchange
|9. Relationships
|Transactional interactions
|Ongoing cooperation and building power
|10. Space
Our partner AFEDES in Guatemala provided the following description of the Solidarity Economy:
Solidarity Economy aims to construct a new world, starting on the basis that there is a current breaking of social and economic relationships as well as relationships of power, imposed by the current system. Solidarity economy responds to systemic structures that causes poverty and hunger in the communities. With a solidarity economy lens, we re-value the human being as the actor with the capacity to decide what constitutes an adequate life for him/herself. It proposes that our surroundings will provide us with provisions and resources needed to be able to have a productive system that satisfies our basic needs and creates "el buen vivir" (well-being). It sustains the duty of having life values and principles in each community (indigenous or not), and proposes that what needs to prevail is cooperation, community and culture as pillars for developing the ideal economic system establishing lifestyles living in harmony with nature, where the human being is part of Nature.

For starters Byblos is one of the most scenic and welcoming cities in Lebanon. It was hard to resist the opportunity to host one of our races there and to give runner the chance to experience the beauty of that region.
As the Beirut Marathon we aim to spread the running culture all over Lebanon and not just in Beirut and we are now putting that into action. We hope to attract runners from the north, Mount Lebanon, Beirut and more.
Jbeil is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. It brings in thousands of tourists yearly and is a hotspot for the Lebanese as well. Beautiful beach shores line the city, roads are made of old cobblestone and ancient structures are visible all over. Even more wonderful is the friendly and hospitable community that lives there who have been supportive and welcoming for the upcoming event.
We hope that through this event we can spread the culture of running throughout the country while helping to promote the beautiful landmarks and regions of our country to the international community.
Join us and be part of this historical event on June 7th - Rise & Run Forward Women's Race!
