Merkel and leftist rivals test ground for coalition
BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany's center-left Social Democrats (SPD) dug in their heels on Monday over the introduction of a minimum wage ahead of a second round of exploratory talks with Angela Merkel's conservatives on forming a 'grand coalition' government.
The chancellor, who is seeking a partner for her third term after falling just short of a parliamentary majority in an election last month, is still trying to decide whether to enter full-blown negotiations with the SPD or the environmentalist Greens.
German Greens voice doubts after coalition talks with Merkel
BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany's Greens played down prospects of forming a government with Angela Merkel's conservatives, a day after a first round of exploratory coalition talks highlighted policy differences between the parties on clean energy and industry.
Despite agreeing to meet again with her next week, Greens politicians made clear on Friday that they had found little common ground with Merkel, whose Christian Democrats (CDU) are also holding talks with the center-left Social Democrats (SPD).
Left-right coalition would put German radicals in limelight
BERLIN (Reuters) – They lost 1.4 million votes and ceded "safe" seats in their east German stronghold to Angela Merkel's conservatives, but the radical Left are smiling about an election outcome that may finally upgrade them from pariahs to the political mainstream.
It helps having low expectations.
The heirs to East Germany's communist regime have read their own political obituaries so often since scraping into the first post-unification parliament in 1990 that even a 3.3 percent drop in their share of the vote, to 8.6 percent, came as a relief.
Merkel allies talk tax rises in coalition overtures
BERLIN, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Conservative allies of Germany's
Angela Merkel said on Wednesday they might agree to raise taxes
to help lure the defeated centre-left Social Democrats into a
grand coalition that would keep the chancellor in power.
Their overtures came in media interviews ahead of a meeting
of SPD leaders in Berlin on Friday, where the opposition will
try to chart its new course after losing a third parliamentary
election to Merkel and her Christian Democrats (CDU) on Sunday.
Merkel rivals signal tough bargaining on German coalition
BERLIN (Reuters) – Angela Merkel's center-left opponents took tough bargaining positions on Wednesday for the political poker game that follows her German election victory, with the Social Democrats and Greens feigning no interest in forming a coalition with her.
The conservative chancellor fell just short of an absolute majority on Sunday, meaning she has to form a government with one of three other parties who made it into parliament.
Triumphant Merkel starts tough task of seeking coalition
BERLIN, Sept 23 (Reuters) – Germany's Angela Merkel began
trying to persuade her centre-left rivals to keep her in power
on Monday after her conservatives notched up their best election
result in more than two decades but fell short of an absolute
Even the chancellor's political foes acknowledged she was
the big winner of the first German vote since the euro crisis
began in 2010, which thrust the pastor's daughter from East
Germany into the role of Europe's dominant leader.
Merkel romps to victory but faces tough coalition choices
BERLIN (Reuters) – Angela Merkel won a landslide personal victory in Germany's general election on Sunday, but her conservatives appeared just short of the votes needed to rule on their own and may have to convince leftist rivals to join a coalition government.
Partial results put support for Merkel's conservative bloc on 42 percent, their strongest score since 1990, the year of German unification, and a ringing endorsement of her steady leadership during the euro zone crisis.
Merkel romps to victory in German election
BERLIN (Reuters) – Angela Merkel was on track to win a third term as chancellor in a German election on Sunday after her conservatives scored their best result in decades, but it was unclear whether she could avoid being forced into a coalition with her leftist rivals.
Television exit polls showed Merkel's conservative bloc – the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU) — on 42 to 42.5 percent, which if confirmed would be their strongest score since 1990.
Eurosceptics poised for German breakthrough, hurting Merkel
BERLIN (Reuters) – A new Eurosceptical party is on the brink of entering the German parliament for the first time, an opinion poll showed, casting doubt on Chancellor Angela Merkel's bid to maintain her center-right coalition and complicating her euro zone policy.
Merkel still looks set to secure a third term in Sunday's general election. But the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has risen on a tide of public hostility to bailouts of indebted southern euro zone countries, could further fragment the lower house, forcing her into a right-left "grand coalition".
After Angie, Uschi? – some Germans ponder life after Merkel
BERLIN, Sept 17 (Reuters) – It is heresy even to pose the
question to the chancellor's supporters before Sunday's general
election and, if she does win a third term, the answer will
remain evasive. But some Germans are asking anyway: who can
succeed Angela Merkel?
"Angela the Great", as one magazine dubbed her, looks a near
certainty to be re-elected, the main doubt being whether her
centre-right coalition gets a new lease of life or she has to
govern with the centre-left. Both scenarios are fine with the
public, pollsters say, as long as "Angie" stays in charge.

Mt Rungwe Group
This will be her fourth loan from Tujijenge Tanzania. She used the previous loans to buy more items to resell, paid rent for her business, bought a fridge for her business, covered household expenses, and she has paid back all her loans successfully. She wants a loan to buy a blender for making more juices and to purchase more drinks for her business. Her dream is to one day be able to build her own, nice house.
She will share this loan with her loan group "Mt Rungwe," which totals 15 members. The members of the group will hold each other accountable for paying back the loan.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.
For more information on Tujijenge Tanzania, please visit its partner page, or join its lending team.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The Navy said it must perform additional inspections on its three newest submarines — including the newly commissioned USS John Warner - because of an issue with steam pipe elbows supplied by a vendor.
Besides the Warner, the USS Minnesota and the USS North Dakota are affected, according to a statement from Naval Sea Systems Command.
Defense News, which first reported the development, reported that the Navy has placed all three submarines in restricted operations while it looks into the matter.
The nuclear-powered submarines are made under arrangement between General Dynamics' Electric Boat of Groton, Conn., and Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington...

|Open-cell metal foams show promise as an emerging novel material for heat exchanger applications. The high surface-area-to-volume ratio suggests increased compactness and decrease in weight of heat exchanger designs. However, the metal foam structure appears conducive to condensate retention, which would degenerate heat transfer performance. This research investigates the condensate retention behavior of aluminum open-cell metal foams through the use of static dip tests and geometrical classification via X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography. Aluminum open-cell metal foam samples of 5, 10, 20, and 40 pores per inch (PPI), all having a void fraction greater than 90%, were included in this investigation. In order to model the condensate retention behavior of metal foams, a clearer understanding of the geometry was required. After exploring the ideal geometries presented in the open literature, X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography was employed to classify the actual geometry of the metal foam samples. The images obtained were analyzed using specialized software from which geometric information including strut length and pore shapes were extracted. The results discerned a high variability in ligament length, as well as features supporting the ideal geometry known as the Weaire-Phelan unit cell. The static dip tests consisted of submerging the metal foam samples in a liquid, then allowing gravity-induced drainage until steady-state was reached and the liquid remaining in the metal foam sample was measured. Three different liquids, water, ethylene glycol, and 91% isopropyl alcohol, were employed. The behaviors of untreated samples were compared to samples subjected to a Beomite surface treatment process, and no significant differences in retention behavior were discovered. The dip test results revealed two distinct regions of condensate retention, each holding approximately half of the total liquid retained by the sample. As expected, condensate retention increased as the pores sizes decreased. A model based on surface tension was developed to predict the condensate retention in the metal foam samples and verified using a regular mesh. Applying the model to both the ideal and actual metal foam geometries showed good agreement with the dip test results in this study.

To start the new year, my boss gave an all-hands speech to a large group of developers about being an engineer. He equated being an engineer with taking responsibility for quality and using methods that ensure high quality at checkin (Nailing the nominals). Naturally, a developer in the crowd took issue with calling software developers "engineers." He claimed, "Engineers assemble parts out of tables and charts of proven components. Developers create something new and unproven every time." Some disputes never get old.
Is software development engineering or craft? I've already argued that it's pointless to argue. Developers must act like engineers or we all lose our jobs. No one bets his company or health on well-crafted software—it had better be engineered. As I claimed in "A software odyssey" (chapter 5), developers need to know instead of guess. They need to use instrumentation data from their products and engineering systems to guide decision making and drive quality and improvement.
But what about all those handy tables and charts "real" engineers use to assemble parts? Does software have an equivalent? Why do new language paradigms claim to solve the reuse problem, only to later fail? Can we be engineers without repositories and reuse? Hey, control yourself! We do have code warehouses, language paradigms are misguided, and we are engineers. Quit waving your rationalization crutches around, hang up your cowboy hat, and be a professional.
Eric Aside
I had an email conversation with the guy who asked the question. He was interested in setting up a repository, which got me thinking.
Since the 1960s, there have been numerous attempts to establish software repositories and reuse. Many of the advances in object-oriented languages were accompanied by sincere claims that they finally solved the reuse problem, and soon software development would take on more of the character of other engineering disciplines. Unfortunately, those claims haven't been realized.
At Microsoft, there have been many failed attempts to establish code repositories. The most recent internal attempt is CodeBox. It enjoys great success as an internal "open-source-like" collaborative development environment for tools, but it's not a reusable code repository beyond copy/paste (a separate subject I address later).
Why have these attempts failed? Is there no hope? Oh, please. Folks have been thinking about the problem the wrong way. Imagining parts as class instances failed as an analogy—engineering reuse is quite alive and well in software.
There are two proven instances of code repositories and reuse that work and work well—libraries and design patterns.
Software libraries, including DLLs, interfaces, platforms (like .NET), SDKs, web services (mashups), and even JavaScript libraries like jQuery, have been wildly successful. They have achieved broad adoption, driven tremendous savings in development effort, and resulted in significant quality and security improvements to software systems.
Design patterns have also been highly successful, though not quite as broadly adopted as libraries. They provide proven design approaches for common engineering problems that result in more robust and reliable code that is easier to explain and understand. Design patterns are an old idea used in many other engineering disciplines. They aren't reusable parts—they are approaches to common engineering challenges.
There is a third, broadly utilized example of code reuse—copy/paste. Code "borrowed" from another engineer is prevalent in every significant codebase ever studied. Borrowing code responsibly can save you time and effort by using the best accumulated knowledge available. Borrowing code irresponsibly can cost you your career and your company millions of dollars. The specifics of who owns the code and how it is licensed are critical, but that's a discussion for a different time.
Microsoft is extremely restrictive about borrowed code. Even internal efforts like CodeSearch are secured so that only people working on the same product can search their product code. The areas with the most code "sharing" are engineering tools and appropriately licensed code samples from SDKs.
Look, I love "sharing" and "borrowing." My kids were taught these concepts in toddler group. "Borrowing" responsibly is part of being a professional, but it shouldn't be confused with reusing documented, measured, tested, and published libraries and patterns from an established repository. Those proven repositories provide predictability and repeatability to engineering—the attributes that guy was seeking when he questioned whether or not developers are engineers.
Why do libraries and design patterns succeed where other repositories and reuse fail? I think the key is isolation.
Note that while both libraries and design patterns provide abstraction, abstraction isn't enough—you need isolation. If the developer ever has to mess with the repository for a typical project, then the isolation fails, and the repository becomes unstable and unsustainable for reuse. It's a bummer, but that's how things have gone over the past 50 years.
Note that copy/paste succeeds as a reuse approach for the same reason—isolation. Copying code from another source does not impact the source in any way. This is a blessing and a curse. Should the original source have a serious error, such as a security vulnerability, that error is propagated. However, unlike libraries, a fix to the original code does not propagate to where the code was copied.
If software libraries are the only form of proven code repositories (like charts and tables for other engineering disciplines), does software engineering fall short of engineering? No, software development is just like every other form of engineering practice.
If you are an electrical engineer designing circuit boards, each new circuit board is unique. You determine what the circuit board's inputs and outputs are and what it needs to do. You look through your tables and charts of circuit board components to find the ones that meet your specs. You then use common electrical design patterns, along with your own best judgment and creativity, to uniquely arrange and connect the components on your new board.
If you are a mechanical engineer designing transmissions, each new transmission is unique. You determine what the transmission's inputs and outputs are and what it needs to do. You look through your tables and charts of gears, shafts, and clutches to find the ones that meet your specs. You then use common mechanical design patterns, along with your own best judgment and creativity, to uniquely arrange and connect the components in your new transmission.
If you are a software engineer designing an application or interface, each new piece of software is unique. You determine what the software's inputs and outputs are and what it needs to do. You look through your online documentation of software libraries to find the ones that meet your specs. You then use common software design patterns, along with your own best judgment and creativity, to uniquely arrange and connect the software components in your new application or interface.
There are a few lessons to be learned about being a software engineer from analyzing software repositories and reuse.
You can be an engineer and you should be an engineer. Stand proud. Be strong. Win the hearts, minds, and well-earned capital of our customers.
This is my 100th column. I love that it's about quality and engineering—two things I really care about.
Many thanks to all the readers who've spent a little of their valuable time reading my cathartic rants each month. Ranting to you sure beats talking to myself.

Save money on wallet size photos
March 11, 2009 at 4:45 pm 4 comments
With graduation time approaching I thought I'd share a tip that saved me some cash last year. If you go though Walgreens, Walmart, etc., and order wallet sized photos, they will print them 4 to a sheet that is smaller than 4 x 6 inches total, but charge you .59-.99 versus .09-.19 for a 4 x 6 print. Fortunately, all you have to do to get around that is prepare your file "4-up" before you upload it to them and order 4 x 6s of that.
How you do this depends on the software you use. I use Photoshop, open my photo and crop it to 2 x 3″ (300dpi). Then I open a new file at 4 x 6″ (also 300dpi) and paste in the 2 x 3″ photo and then duplicate it 3 more times. You could do the same thing with multiple photos and any sizes that will fit within a 4 x 6″ document. Basically, you are making a simple collage and then cutting them apart after printing. The 4 x 6″ prints are the best value so it makes sense to do it this way, even if you have white space left over. The guy at the Walgreens photo counter may look at you funny when you pick them up, though :)
Update: Windows users may find the free utility Photosheet handy for this.

Great tip! I've actually been doing this with Photosheet – a free utility that I downloaded from http://blog.photility.com/labels/downloads.aspx
There are several different utilities there that you may find useful.
Great idea…thanks!
Thank you so much for this post and providing the link to photosheet. That is so awesome and saved me quite a bit of money. I needed quite a few wallet sized pictures but only needed 1 copy of each one.

Inside the Snakebit F100, a handmade interior features two-tone leather, a custom leather-wrapped dash, and a contoured bench seat from Glide Engineering designed to suggest the Shelby interior style.
Next year, the Snakebit F100 will be auctioned for charity at a Barrett-Jackson event. The proceeds will go toward construction of a children's hospital in Tweed's hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Tom Foster, president of Saskatoon's Industrial Machine & Manufacturing originally conceived the idea for the custom truck and charity benefit. Foster also named the project "Wheels of Dreams."
"The Wheels of Dreams project symbolizes how people can come together to meet the needs of our children and families by raising much needed funds for the new Children's Hospital of Saskatchewan," said Brynn Boback-Lane, president and CEO of the Children's Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. "Just like the hospital, this concept car project started as an idea and a desire to do something better for our community.
"What began as a grassroots idea, the volunteers and supporters of Wheels of Dreams have turned into a major international fundraiser opportunity that will ultimately benefit our foundation and the children of Saskatchewan who require the services and care of a hospital," Boback-Lane added.

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a protocol for speeding up and shaping network traffic flows.
Download Now: How to Get the Most Out of Your WAN
Mobile devices and teleworkers are forcing a shift in the WAN. Learn how you can design and manage this new network without borders, all while securing user access points and improving network performance.

MPLS allows most packets to be forwarded at Layer 2 (the switching level) rather than having to be passed up to Layer 3 (the routing level). Each packet gets labeled on entry into the service provider's network by the ingress router. All the subsequent routing switches perform packet forwarding based only on those labels—they never look as far as the IP header. Finally, the egress router removes the label(s) and forwards the original IP packet toward its final destination.
The label determines which pre-determined path the packet will follow. The paths, which are called label-switched paths (LSPs), allow service providers to decide ahead of time what will be the best way for certain types of traffic to flow within a private or public network.
Service providers can use MPLS to improve quality of service (QoS) by defining LSPs that can meet specific service level agreements (SLAs) on traffic latency, jitter, packet loss and downtime. For example, a network might have three service levels -- one level for voice, one level for time-sensitive traffic and one level for "best effort" traffic. MPLS also supports traffic separation and the creation of virtual private networks (VPNs) virtual private LAN services (VPLS) and virtual leased lines (VLLs).
MPLS got its name because it works with the Internet Protocol (IP), Asynchronous Transport Mode (ATM) and frame relay network protocols; any of these protocols can be used to create an LSP. It was created in the late 1990s to avoid having routers waste time by having to stop and look up routing tables. A common misconception is that MPLS is only used on private networks, but the protocol is used for all service provider networks -- including Internet backbones. Today, Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) extends MPLS to manage time division multiplexing (TDM), lambda switching and other classes of switching technologies beyond packet switching.

"Some call her the Texas Rivera" Top 5 Page for this destination Corpus Christi by raevnzno
Corpus Christi Travel Guide: 136 reviews and 331 photos
Corpus is located on the gulf coast of Texas about 2 hours south of San Antonio. It is a beautiful, compact city that loves to play in the sand. It's the gateway to the Padre Island National Seashore, and also on the way to Mustang Island and Port Aransas.
Visit this gem of Texas if you get a chance, it's a nice change from the cowboy culture found in some of her other cities.

2006 Lexus IS250 Recalls
Due to the remnants of anti-corrosion plating, a fuel leak may develop from where the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe. Any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will clean and reseal the area of the fuel pressure sensor to correct this concern.
The nuts that secure the windshield wiper arms may not have been tightened to the correct specification during vehicle assembly and as a result, if the wipers are restricted by an external load such as a build up of snow, one or both or the wipers may become inoperative. Inoperative wipers could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Lexus dealers will install new wiper arm nuts to correct this concern.
The fuel pressure sensor monitors fuel pressure for optimum engine performance and emission controls. Lexus has found that some of these sensors can loosen from the fuel line, which may cause the sealing gasket to leak fuel. To prevent this from occurring in the future, your Lexus dealer will ensure that these sensors are properly fastened. No schedule of owner notification is available at this time.
A seal between the master cylinder and brake booster may fail and allow fluid to leak into the brake booster. This can cause reduced braking performance. Dealers will replace the seal with a newly designed one free of charge to resolve the concern.
Toyota is recalling 2004–2010 models for an accelerator pedal that can get stuck in the wide open position due to problems with the floor mat. This may cause high vehicle speeds that make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which can result in a crash. In order to correct the problem, dealers will replace the pedals, alter the shape of the floor, and/or replace the floor mats. Toyota will also modify software on certain models to ensure that the brake overrides the accelerator in the event that both are applied.
Ethanol fuels with a low moisture content will corrode the internal surface of the aluminum fuel delivery pipes. As the condition progresses, the Check Engine Light may illuminate and/or a fuel leak could develop under the hood. Any fuel leak increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel delivery pipes as necessary. This recall is expected to begin during February 2009. The Lexus recall number is 9LA.
Mechanical stress on two fuel pipes in the engine compartment, combined with the presence of corrosive agents in the fuel, can result in a crack in the fuel line. A fuel leak can result, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the two suspect fuel lines with redesigned parts to correct this concern. The Lexus recall number is 7LC.
The front seat belt retractors may not release due to a failure of the emergency locking system. If the seat belt is locked, the occupant may not be able to properly fasten the seat belt. An unrestrained occupant may have an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. Dealers will replace the front seat belt assemblies to correct this concern.
On 133 vehicles, certain airbag inflators were assembled with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper airbag deployment. In the event of a crash, if the airbag does not deploy as expected, the risk of injury will increase. Dealers will replace only the suspect airbags to correct this concern. The Toyota recall number is 60B. The Lexus recall number is 6LB.
The accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in the partially depressed position due to inadequate clearance between the accelerator pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded in the driver's foot well carpet. As a result, the engine may not return to its idle speed as expected, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the clearance of the accelerator pedal and carpet, replace the pedal with a revised assembly, and modify the carpet to correct this concern. The Lexus recall number is 5LC.

Did you know that there are already 40 fashion weeks in the world? That the first fashion week happened in NYC in 1943 and that London joined Milan, Paris and New York in 1983? Do you also know the minimum age for a runway model? And how much models earn for that?
Why London is the Capital of Menswear
These past few years have seen the rise to glory of a long-underestimated and underserved market: Menswear. With a boost given by the street culture generation now on the chase for looks and design, it's never been more exciting to be a man in fashion.
But there is a tip to the spear and it is called London (UK).
While the British Fashion Council once again sets up a platform for creativity and business called London Collections: Men – bringing together names including Jonathan Saunders, Christopher Kane, Alexander McQueen, JW Anderson, Katie Eary, Tom Ford, Moschino, YMC, Topman and Lyle & Scott; one can not be surprised when this is the proud land of Paul Smith and the mean streets of modern Tailoring.
Furthermore, who could doubt menswear would find its energy on a market where online concept-stores such as Oki-Ni, LN-CC or Endclothing have thrived in the past few years.
London like no other place is encompassing everything that inspires the modern man: a desire for excentricity mixed with extremely codified formality. The geek generation finds its closet ready for a revolution – fashion can be optimized for efficiency with creativity. Rest of the world, behold. The times of Daddy's preppy or douchey style is over.
SIMONGAO: "It's all about confidence, all about the language you want to tell to people"
Chinese designer Simon Gao was definitely one of the biggest sensations this year at London Fashion Week AW14. The show was packed and it was trending in social networks. SIMONGAO won the Mercedes-Benz China Young Fashion Award, 2013, which is one of the reasons why we had a chance to attend his show in London.
His collection shows a very "zen" attitude: colors are mostly playing with shades of greys, whites and blacks, with blue or brown fantasies. SIMONGAO played in a very subtle way with materials: draping and folding embrace dresses; belts and accessories might refer to a modern Geisha; this oriental inheritance matches with contemporary "street" influences we can see in London or NYC: models were walking with New Balance sneakers.
"I've done some research for different civilizations. I mixed them together to make Urban Chic."
It was basically the best of Opening Ceremony machine without a too aggressive fuss: Beyoncé was not in the air (vs all the other shows I've attended) and Simon Gao was suggesting a more balanced vision of "women".
"I want SIMONGAO girls to do sports, to experience different lives, to meet different cultures, to eat different foods, and run an optimistic attitude for life. It's all about confidence, all about the language you want to tell to people."
We had a chance to catch up backstage with the rising talent; discover more about Simon Gao now:

London Fashion Week AW14 – Under the Spotlight
It's the fashion event that you must pencil into your calendar – of course it's London Fashion Week. From Somerset House to Kensington Gardens, the streets were filled with fashion bloggers, journalists, socialites and the press who were all fortunate enough to get the first peek at the latest collections – I happened to be one of those lucky few!
On Monday, I set off to the beautiful Somerset House and saw the latest line by M&S who are aiming to bring out the 'Best of British'. The scene was a simple, minimalist background with a ladder, chair and desk – an unusual set, but it did bring out the best of its 60's-esque bold coloured swing coats and shift dresses.
I later went to a dim lit, carpeted car park behind Selfridges to see the latest line by Erdem, which was my favourite of the day. Erdem illustrated a mix of contrasting textures such as patent leather on crochet with subdued splashes of gold, grey and scarlet. To put it simply like The Fash Pack have quoted, it was 'the type of collection that dreams are made of.' With a revamped version of Heart of Glass by Blondie, the scene was buzzing with an edgy femininity. Simply amazing.
With the spotlights shining on their scraped-back hair, David Koma was the final show of the day. His collection highlighted bold purples and dark greys, with the clothes structured in sharp cuts and finishes. Again, it was a very minimalist, bright lighted scene to emphasise what Koma had to display.
There is nothing quite like being a part of the camera flashes and loud voices. David Koma and M&S both displayed lovely collections, but the aura was exactly how I imagined a fashion show to be, therefore I wasn't taken aback. However, Erdem was the stand-out as its unpretentious setting was revamped into an electrifying setting – it was just a shame that it was over so quickly.
TOPSHOP Unique AW14: the tomboy wanting to be pretty
Oops, Topshop did it again. Yesterday, the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall was hosting another interesting performance of the 50 years old brand. And the design of the show is very similar to the essence of TOPSHOP: few rows downstairs with happy few (including me haha) and upstairs, a crowd of fans with smartphones ready to shoot, basically on a bridge.
The collection is going to work: a mix of tailoring fabrics and mohair; a lot of street influence (MIA was attending the show) and less an attempt to copy big designers (last year, some observers mentioned the fact that the catwalk presented a collection which was not really what Topshop is about: this year, this "mistake" is not here). Tattoo motifs try to challenge flowers; and the quality of materials is definitely here.
The soundtrack was all about female power. Beyoncé's very own who runs the world? GIRLS was of course buzzing (as usual). As Topshop declared, this season is all about the girl (…) the soft girl wanting to be tough, the tomboy wanting to be pretty.
Oversize clothes were not the only originality: more formal suits were in the show but with a twist of blueish motifs.
Y-3 Autumn/Winter 2014-15: superheroes challenge Yves Saint Laurent
'Ten years ago, together with adidas we created something that did not exist before and completely projected the future. My desire was and is to make sportswear elegant and chic. adidas is a very personal inspiration to me … it enriches my creative life.' – Yohji Yamamoto, 2011
True fact; as adidas was the very first to embrace hip hop, they were also the very first to understand how sportswear should become a tremendous part of our modern lifestyles.
The new collection, presented during Paris Men's Fashion Week, is another exemplary set of art. The topic is sort of déjà vu "Superheroes might be the world's only remaining hope". But the way it's executed is outstanding.
"Men's and women's pieces were presented together in a range of retro-tinged primary colors. Clothes emphasized functionality and modularity to underscore Y-3's commitment to the vision of sport-style. Stunningly revealed in an epic black and white setting with a neon light backdrop, models stalked the runway to superhero music themes and were watched by a front-row crowd including music icon Kanye West, Parisian socialites Louise Monot, Caroline Proust and Louis-Marie de Castelbajac, German actor Clemens Schick as well as adidas athletes Gwladys Épangue (Olympian/Taekwondo), Laura Flessel-Colovic (Olympian/Fencing) and Jimmy Vicaut (Sprinter)".
As in popular mangas, the collection plays with utopia and dystopia; silhouettes might become monsters, drapes and black pattern play with the devils. A bit like if Spiderman was part of Yves Saint Laurent.
"The collection is an hommage to the couturiers of he 60's. I wanted to infuse a this spirit into it. I was also thinking of super heroes and the kind of clothes they wear. Cut for an active and fighting life style, so I brought these two worlds together." Yohji Yamamoto
And we love it.
Elle Fashion Show SS14 (Vietnam)
Elle Magazine is an institution everywhere it has settled in the world. Thanks to that status, the publication is now setting new standards of creativity in a new and unexplored market: Vietnam. Following the recent launch of a new web platform, the first media with a decent design (check these major news hubs for a bloodtearing benchmark) has raised the bar of its pionneering Fashion Shows.
Designers with inspirations connecting them to an exciting worldwide new turn in fashion (including hints to Givenchy, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang and Mary Katrantzou) showcased their work under a reversed garden, through sets of electro-pop and even more modern: trap music.
While some professionals are only starting to complain about indistinct trends on the street and lack of general fashion culture, this event showed that things were happening in Vietnam, and as we're currently observing from the middle of there, we can tell you this: they're happening fast.

#trashfashionforum : when fashion tries to fight gentrification and commoditization
We attended yesterday at Protein a very interesting debate about what one calls "trash fashion". Organized with Dazed & Confused (their last issue is called…Trash & Burn!) speakers included Hussein Chalayan, Caroline Evans (living legend from Central Saint Martins), Nasir Mazhar (who designed the hats for 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony), Luke Brooks, Claire Storey and Kieren Jones. And it was pretty intense
So why is there a new interest in Trash Fashion? Surprisingly enough, not so many of the speakers had an answer. The top insight comes from Hussein Chalayan, who thinks that because there's a gentrification of everything, and that we're trying to glamourize everything, well you need something new. As time popularizes everything, and even faster now through high-street big players and online platforms, designers need to shape something unconventional. According to Chalayan, it's a bit ridiculous to talk about Punk these days whereas it's from the 70s. We need to invent something, which faces new limits. And Trash Fashion, to a certain extent, can be a good playground to start with.
Today Trash is used in a far different way.
Hussein Chalayan starts with a series of snapshots that tries to define his vision of Trash Fashion
The Tangent Flows (1993) that he did for his graduation aims to explain that trashing garment was a way to give more features to daily elements.
With Cartesia (AW 1994), made of unreadable paper, the idea is to associate unexpected inspirations: packaging, papers, documents, to sublime unexpected materials.
Chalayan also mentions Afterwords in 2000: the collection starts with a mysterious combination of chairs with bodies. The designers starts with a scenery and bring it back to clothes. With Medea in 2002: layers come from cutaways, it's like an archeological dig. With this process, Chalayan says that the creation of this sort of long-term hope link things.
Manifest Destiny in 2003 looks at disgust that can then be visually appealing, about to become live when a model wears it. Animal prints are then brought back to life
Finally, with Rise (2013) the body is spiritedly linked to urban environment especially walls. Disintegration of information is put in clothes through Printed textures.
The connection between all these ideas is that these clothes have lived something, are part of something bigger, bring a greater sense of life
Caroline Evans broadens the definition of trash fashion reminding that there are tons of examples where people were recycling or using materials in original ways (ex: during great depression in the US etc). Another field concerns the link between fashion and science. Maison Martin Margiela for instance created strange Red Bacteria Yellow Bacteria Green Bacteria pieces with a microbiologist. Specific bacterias were spread on clothes which changed the texture of clothes. Clothes were then exhibited outside the museum. It then generated a sort of furyness impression after rain and sun. Evans considers that when Chanel used jersey in 1919, which used to be a fabric only used for lingerie, is also connected to trash fashion. As she was using "poor" fabrics, it was then considered as trash at that time.
Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Garcons) launched a very reductionist collection in 1982.
"When u work around a factory sometimes everything is too perfect"
The main purpose is to give an unfinished impression through deconstruction.
Luke Brooks who graduated from CSM MA recently, mentions his thought-provoking work, using materials that were present in his immediate environment…even under our feet! As he wrote for Dazed:
It emerged that there are many unusual headstones located in New England, USA, which had been carved by the early settlers (late 17th and 18th century stones). The Farber Gravestone Collection, which documents over 9,000 unique headstone images in the area, was a fascinating resource.
Using that and FindaGrave.com as a treasure map, I set off for America in December. Gravestone rubbing is a contentious activity. Some people believe that it subtly damages the stones even when performed with every precaution. Others consider it an affront to the dead. I resolved to be very cautious with my crayon and to thank the residents with a gentle pat on the headstone and a word of gratitude.
Despite having amassed perhaps 40 rubbings of varying sizes, only certain ones seemed to work on the body, proportionally, texturally and photographically. The construction of the collection was about how to best project this idea of the memory of these departed bodies in relation to the living wearer.
Trash is finally a sort of inheritance we're going to transmit. Cheap fashion also creates a lot of trash. A parallelism can be made with Punk: we wanted to be dirty because everything's so cheap. Same idea today. But even worse as there's a vicious loop: how to bring new ways of approaching fashion whereas the industry is based on newness, the latest things, the latest marketing idea. And that the fashion industry is about making money.
So how to create something bigger?
Fashion knows deadlines. And one idea could be to postpone this deadline, including self-conscious elements of the quality of a material. Like a tracker for the very long term record.
People can be considered as investors or consumers. They consume Primark, but they can invest in other brands. Sustainability is an investment: trash fashion would be the signal to go back to economics principles?
There's a need to educate people to like fashion, educate schools, otherwise only will rich have access to qualitative fashion. Before Prinark and ASOS, access to fast fashion was impossible. Let's consider it as a big opportunity to raise sensitivity!

I was skeptical when I began looking into the unlocks on this website. What kept me looking that other websites didn't was the price that I paid for a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy Note III. To have it unlocked locally, people were charging $80! I REFUSED to pay that much for something I felt like I could do myself. After I looked into that i decided to find someone to do it for me but for a cheaper price. this is THE BEST PRICE I HAVE SEEN LOCALLY AND ONLINE which was $15! To some people (I can be… Read Full Review

They gave me a refund when I ordered the wrong item, due to their great customer service! They are super trustworthy which is my favorite part, and the reason why I will come back. The premium service was just as described and worked perfectly! I have dealt with other unlocking services in the past and have got scammed and lost $80! With this website, that was not the case. I could trust these guys because they used PayPal and the everything seemed legit! I will definitely recommend this… Read Full Review

After hunting around the internet I landed on unlockforcheap.com. It had a good spread of reviews but I admit I was still wary. Still, for $10 to unlock my ZTE Z755 I thought it was worth the request. I put in my request for an unlock code late on a Saturday night. The result came the next morning at 9:30 am, on a Sunday, and worked great. So, yes, I do recommend unlockforcheap.com. They also have a fair refund policy in case it doesn't work, I checked it out myself ahead of time, which… Read Full Review

Nice blog entry from Gokhan Atil, from the Turkey Oracle Users Group (TROUG), reviewing the Manageability Partner Forum in Istanbul last week.
(Photo by Paul Thompson, 14-March-2012)
On March 14-15th we have celebrated our 2012
Manageability Partner Community EMEA Forum, in
Istanbul, Turkey. It has been an intense two days,
packed with great content and a lot of networking.
Organizing it jointly with the Exadata Partner Forum
has allowed participants to benefit also from the
content of the Exadata sessions, which is a key topic
as an infrastructure building block as we move to
cloud architectures.
During the sessions we have listened to two thought-leaders in our industry, Ron Tolido, from Capgemni, and Julian Dontcheff, from Accenture. We thank our Manageability partner Capgemini/Sogeti, for sharing with the community their experiences in developing their Testing offering based on Oracle products.
The slide decks used in the presentations are now available for download at the Manageability Partner Community Collaborative Workspace (for community members only - if you get an error message, please register for the Community first)
I want to thank all who have participated at the event, and look forward to meeting again at next year's Forum.
Just one week to go! Over 80 participants, sharing of experiences and networking with key Oracle executives.
You can still register here!
Attending the Community Forum you will have a unique opportunity to get Oracle's insight on new solution areas and how the recently launched Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c provides partners with a complete platform to help to architect private-cloud infrastructures and manage the complete IT stack.
The agenda includes a selected group of partners presenting and sharing their experiences with real-life customer cases. This constitutes a tremendous learning experience for all attendees.
We are sure that the superb atmosphere of the Conrad Hotel in Istanbul will provide a great opportunity to network with other Manageability partners and with Oracle executives.
Also, the Manageability Partner Forum will take place in parallel with the Exadata Partner Forum. You will be able to attend some of the Exadata sessions if you wish.

In a very interesting development flying in the face of today's accepted biology science, a black Nigerian couple gave birth to a beautiful white-skinned, blue-eyed and blonde-haired baby this week. The scene was certainly shocking and newspapers in England, where the family now lives, have been questioning how this could possibly happen. Investigators are looking at the background of the parents– Ben and Angela Ihegboro– but have so far determined they have absolutely zero white ancestors. They're conducting DNA tests […]

But a vote, planned for Friday, was postponed after the House became bogged down over problems with a computerized voting system, compounded by Republican anger over a disputed vote Thursday night on an agriculture bill.
The leader of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has vowed to get energy legislation through before lawmakers leave for their summer recess, said it would be taken up on Saturday.
The White House, meanwhile, expressed broad opposition to the two Democratic energy bills, saying they make «no serious attempts to increase our energy security or address high energy costs» and would harm domestic oil and gas production.
The administration's statement said senior advisers would recommend the president veto the bills, should they reach his desk. House Republican leaders on Thursday sent President George W. Bush a letter also urging a veto.
The legislation would roll back nearly $16 billion (¤11.6 billion) in tax breaks for oil companies and provide a broad array of tax incentives and other measures to spur development of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency programs. It would establish new efficiency standards for appliances and other equipment and government support for research into alternative energy such as batteries for plug-in hybrid-electric cars.
Republicans complained the bill does nothing to increase domestic oil and gas production and rolls back some of the measures passed by Congress two years ago that made it easier to gain access to natural gas on federal land.
The oil industry taxes and a requirement for electric utilities nationwide to produce at least 15 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources has attracted the most intense lobbying in recent days. Hoping to sway some reluctant Democrats, Reps. Tom Udall, a Democrat, and Todd Platts, a Republican, softened their renewable fuels proposal so that 4 percent of the requirement could be met through energy efficiency and conservation incentives.
But that has not mollified the electric utility industry and business groups who contend the federal mandate would lead to higher electricity costs in areas where renewable energy sources such as wind power are unavailable. They argue that 24 states already have requirements to use renewable fuels, many of them more stringent what is being proposed in the amendment Udall and Platts want to get into the bill.
«We have been down in the trenches fighting (this) proposal tooth and nail,» said Tom Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, the trade association for the investor-owned utility companies. Lobbying powerhouses such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufactures also have fought the proposal.
Environmentalists have been equally aggressive in pushing for the renewable fuels requirement, viewing it as a global warming issue. By getting utilities to use less coal, a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, and spurring development of wind, solar and biomass technologies, fewer greenhouse gases will reach the atmosphere, they argue.
