Unlike previous boards, the Pi 3 will be able to boot directly from a USB-attached hard or pen drive - rather than having to boot from an SD card. Similarly, Pi 3 will also support booting from a network-attached file system, using PXE, without the need for boot data on an SD card. Peak power consumption of the Pi 3 is about 50 - 60 percent higher than its predecessors though Upton says that \"power consumption at constant workload stays the same\". Alongside the Pi 3 will be the launch of a new official power supply, which will be rated at 2.5A5.1V, compared to the 2A5V-rated supply used by earlier boards. A bonus for people running a Pi as a media center is the new board can play 1080p video at 60 frames per second.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456748795680","data":"56d438f868387"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456748643341","data":"

Last week, I discussed the bounds
of the "honest belief rule" as a defense to a discrimination claim.
Yesterday, in Seeger
v. Cincinnati Bell Telephone Co. [pdf], [an enhanced version of this opinion is available to lexis.com subscribers]the 6th Circuit used that same
defense to affirm the termination of an employee who claimed retaliation under
the FMLA. This case, though, has wider implications for employer who use
surveillance to monitor the legitimacy of their employees' medical leaves.
Tom Seeger took an approved leave of absence under the
FMLA for a herniated lumbar disc. Four days after Seeger's doctor certified him
as completely unable to work-including any light duty, which entitled him to
receive paid disability leave under the employer's policy-two of Seeger's
co-workers saw him walking, seemingly unimpaired, at the Cincinnati
Oktoberfest. One of the employees, who knew Seeger was collecting paid
disability leave, reported his sighting to CBT's human resources manager.
CBT conducted an investigation, which consisted of
obtaining sworn statements from the two employees who saw Seeger, reviewing
Seeger's medical records, disability file, and employment history, and consulting
with CBT's internal medical manager. Based on the inconsistency between
Seeger's reported medical condition and his reported behavior at Oktoberfest,
CBT terminated Seeger for "disability fraud" (over-reporting his symptoms to
avoid light-duty and continue collecting disability payments).
Relying on the "honest belief rule," the 6th Circuit
concluded that CBT's termination decision did not violate the FMLA:
CBT made a "reasonably informed and considered decision"
before it terminated him, and Seeger has failed to show that CBT's
decisionmaking process was "unworthy of credence." ... The determinative question
is not whether Seeger actually committed fraud, but whether CBT reasonably and
honestly believed that he did....
CBT never disputed that Seeger suffered from a herniated
disc.... Seeger's ability to walk unaided for ten blocks and remain at the
crowded festival for ninety minutes understandably raised a red flag for CBT,
giving it reason to suspect that Seeger was misrepresenting his medical
condition in an attempt to defraud CBT's paid-leave policy.
This case has wide implications. There are many laws that
entitle employees to take time off from work: FMLA, ADA (disability), PDA
(pregnancy), Title VII (religious accommodation), and state workers' compensation
laws, to name a few. Many companies use surveillance to curb leave of absence
abuses. I am not suggesting that you surveil every employee who takes leave
from your workplace. Without a good faith belief supporting the surveillance, a
court could conclude that your actions are unlawful.
If, however, you have a good faith reason to test the
legitimacy of an employee's leave via surveillance or other monitoring, Seeger's
invocation of the honest belief rule will offer you some protection if you
misinterpret the results of your investigation.

A chemical signal from queen bee glands lets the female worker bees know that her mating dalliances were successful, and hint at just how fruitful they were, according to a study published Wednesday in the online journal PLOS One.
The honeybee, Apis mellifera, is equipped with one of the most complex chemical signaling systems in nature, with multiple pheromones controlling the social organization of the hive. They can encourage foraging, attract mates, keep new queens from being reared, and even change the population composition of the hive and alter the gene expression of worker bees...
A team of entomologists from Penn State, North Carolina State and Tel Aviv universities examined chemical changes of pheromones from isolated aspects of the mating process, and from various mating outcomes, then tested how worker bees reacted to these chemicals.
Results suggest that the composition of these pheromones changed, depending on the queen bee's physiological state, but so did worker bee response. Workers exhibited the strongest attraction to the pheromones from highly inseminated queens, compared with those injected with less semen or with plain saline or with those that were virgins.
"It looks like the queen is not only saying, 'OK, I'm here,' but she's also telling the workers that she's a mated queen, and that she's either poorly or well mated -- which is pretty important, because she uses the pheromones to regulate the social organization of the hive," said Penn State University entomologist Elina L. Niño, lead author of the study.
The queen mandibular pheromone induces female workers to form a retinue around the queen, a group contact that helps spread the chemicals throughout the colony.
Study: Queen bees not only mate with lots of males, they brag about it

Book Reviews: Lala Pipo (Hideo Okuda)
Readers of Roger Ebert's reviews columns will probably remember his discussions of the "hyperlink genre", a variety of movie where multiple plot threads intertwine, overlap, lead into and out of each other, and sometimes strap on crash helmets and collide. Two Days in the Valley, Traffic, Syriana, Babel and (in my opinion the vastly overrated) Crash typically get tagged with this label.
I don't think Hideo Okuda was consciously paying homage to any of these movies when he wrote Lala Pipo, but I suspect few people are going to make that connection anyway if they read it. They're going to be laughing too hard, and gaping at how many boundaries of taste are cheerfully violated, to make any connections. I read most of the book while sitting on my bed with my cats nearby, and kept scaring the poor beasts half to death with my guffawing. You laugh at the book, and then you laugh at yourself for having laughed at it in the first place.
Each chapter sports a title copped from a popular song that serves as gloriously ironic commentary on the goings-on. And right from the title of opening segment, "What A Fool Believes," you know you're not going to be in the company of winners, just sinners and beginners. The "fool" of the first chapter is Hiroshi, a hapless and reclusive freelance writer sinking into the morass of his own insularity. Then one night he hears the sounds of lovemaking in the apartment above him, and discovers the dubious joys of sexual voyeurism. "Dubious" because at the same time he starts engaging in a flirtation with a fat, homely woman named Sayuri, and discovers he'd really rather experience his human contact secondhand.
"Get Up, Stand Up" switches to the story of the man upstairs, Kenji, a talent scout on the prowl for new talent to work in one of Tokyo's countless hostess clubs. Then he gets progressively involved in a scheme to book a pair of porn actresses for a mother-daughter act, and the whole thing spirals helplessly out of control. The mother in question, Yoshie, is the centerpiece of "Light My Fire": at the age of forty-three, unemployed and with no real life to speak of, working in porn seems like a step up for her. Then we find out just how badly things are messed up in her household, like the way she's been intercepting and forging signatures on hate mail sent to someone else in the neighborhood, and the thing upstairs that's … well, I wouldn't dream of giving away that part.
With "Gimme Shelter" we switch to the original author of the threatening notes, a meek karaoke box employee who vents his frustration with the excesses of his job at the owner of a dog in the neighborhood. Things go from bad to worse: he becomes the victim of a salesman who peddles him no end of expensive junk, the karaoke bar turns by degrees into a whorehouse, his notes become downright deranged and murderous … and then Yoshie turns up with a most unusual request that snaps everything together in the worst possible way.
"I Shall Be Released" follows the trail of one of the karaoke customers, a middle-aged author (maybe "manufacturer" would be a better word) of erotic novels. Frustrated by the inaccessibility of his wife and his general inability to crawl out of the porn ghetto, he turns to the karaoke bar to get his fun under the guise of "doing research". He not only goes straight to the bottom, but breaks through the bottom. And in "Good Vibrations" we loop on back to Sayuri, the author's transcriptionist and Hiroshi's hapless girlfriend-of-sorts, who has her own bizarre sex-related moneymaking scheme on the side. It involves a camera hidden in her apartment and a complete lack of shame.
The odd thing about Lala Pipo is despite the griminess of the characters and the goings-on, it's hard not to stop reading — it's an example of "oh, man, what now?" storytelling, where there isn't so much a plot as a precipice over which the characters get pushed one by one. Arthur Nersesian's The Fuck-up was in vaguely the same vein: no real plot, just the character falling off the edge over and over again, but in ways so bizarre and hilarious you couldn't help but continue. The problem with being a bottom-feeder is that, well, you have to go to the bottom to feed. And sometimes you get stuck there.

Mumbai, Maharashtra (AFP) July 16, 2013
South Korean steel giant Posco scrapped Tuesday a $5.3-billion deal to build a steel plant in India due to delays, in a blow to New Delhi's efforts to woo investors.
The company said it was dropping the project in the southern Karnataka state because of problems in obtaining mining rights and vociferous opposition from local residents.
"This is an example that doing business in India is tough," said Sonam Udasi, head of research with IDBI Capital.
Posco, the world's fourth-largest steelmaker by output, signed an initial agreement in June 2010 for the project but has faced big protests from farmers.
Industrialisation has been long championed by economists as a way to pull tens of millions of Indians out of poverty.
But acquiring land for factories, roads, housing and other projects has created sometimes deadly battlegrounds with many farmers complaining they have been forced to sell at below market rate and robbed of their livelihoods.
Posco's India chairman Yong Won Yoon said the company was pulling the plug on the project -- set to produce six million tonnes of steel per year -- "given market conditions and significant delay in acquiring the required land".
Posco's announcement comes as it is contending with a sharp downturn in the steel market due to weak international economic conditions.
Posco said it remains committed to a separate $12-billion steel plant project in eastern Orissa state, touted as India's biggest single foreign direct investment.
That project, initially agreed in 2005, also is mired in delays due to environmental concerns and local opposition.
In a March a bomb blast killed three people involved in protests against the project and residents say the mill would interfere with their traditional forest-based livelihoods and uproot them from their homes.
There have also been clashes over proposals for the creation of Special Economic Zones, a major thrust of the country's industrialisation drive.
The halted Karnataka project could reinforce concerns about the difficulties in purchasing agricultural land for development, seen as a major barrier to India's industrial expansion.
Rakesh Valecha, senior director at Fitch group firm India Ratings, said it was too early to say how foreign sentiment might be affected by the Posco move.
But he said it was clear "policy framework for the steel sector needs to be streamlined. along with land acquisition and mining allocation laws," he told AFP.
When setting up plants, companies usually lease land from state governments that acquire the plots because of the complicated nature of land purchases in which securing title is notoriously difficult.
Earlier this year, the government drafted a land acquisition bill to better reward landowners whose property is bought for industrial development.
The legislation includes resettlement and new skills training for people whose land is acquired as India industrialises in its quest to create more jobs for its youthful 1.2-billion population and help lift millions out of poverty.
Consensus on the bill aimed at replacing an act drawn up under India's British colonial rulers has so far eluded lawmakers.
The government, however, has said it will present the legislation in the next session of parliament due to begin in August.

The paper by Marcell Missura and Sven Behnke: "Balanced Walking with Capture Steps" won the Best Science Paper Award at he 18th RoboCup International Symposium, Joao Pessoa, Brasil.
In the final, our robots Copedo and Dynaped met team Baset from Iran. Copedo played goalie and Dynaped, which had a new capture step feature enabled, was a field player. When struggling for the ball, robots of both sides often went down. Dynaped is not equipped to get up and had to be taken out, In these situations, the Baset robots, which got up quickly, scored. After 5:0 at half time, the game ended 8:4 for Baset.
Our robots Dynaped and Copedo met team Parand (Iran) in the last round robin game. Copedeo had the field player role and scored three times. After 2:1 at half time, the game ended 3:1 for NimbRo. Both teams will meet again in the semi-final in the evening. In the technical challenge, Dynaped got points for dribbling an arbitrary colored ball.
Our robots met team MU-L8 from USA. Dynaped was quick to reach the ball and scored reliably. The game ended early in the second half 10.0 for our robots. In the second game of the day, our robots met EDROM from Brasil. Dynaped scored reliably, but the second goal went into our own. Hence, the game ended in the second half 11:1 for NimbRo.
Today is the first day of the round robin. Our robots Dynaped and Copedo played their first match vs. team AUT-UofM, a joint team from Iran and Canada. Dynaped was the field player and scored three times in the second half. The AUT-UofM robots also had some good actions, but did not score. Our robots did not play well in the game vs the Iranian team Baset.

In the final game, they met team CIT-Brains from Japan. The Japanese team had a good start with a dangerous situation in front of the NimbRo goal. Our robot Copedo, which was used as field player, could clear the situation. Dynaped played goalie. Both robots coordinated well who was going for the ball. NimbRo had a clear advantage and scored three goals in the first half. The game ended 4:0 for NimbRo.
In the semi-final, our robots Dynaped and Copedo met again team FUB-KIT (FU Berlin, Germany-Kyushu, Japan). The NimbRo robots scored reliably, yielding a final result of 8:0 (after 3:0 at half time). In the final, NimbRo will meet as in previous years team CIT-Brains from Japan.
Our robots scored in the Technical Challenge. In the Throw-in Challenge, Copedo found the ball at the side line, picked it up and made a throw. Copedo and Dynaped also scored in the Double Pass Challenge. In total, our robots reached 14 of 30 possible points.
Our robots played two more round robin games. First, they met team FUB-KIT, a joint team from Freie Universität Berlin and Kyushu Institute of Technology. Their lightweight robots were equipped with an innovative cable-driven mechanism, which allows to place all actuators in the hip. Copedo scored reliably, having only some problems to see the semi-transparent FUB-KIT robots. After 4:0 at half time, the game ended 6:0 for NimbRo. The second game was vs. team AcYut from India who reliably went to the ball. The game ended 5:0 for NimbRo (after 2:0 at half time). This makes NimbRo first of the round robin with 12:0 points and 20:1 goals.
Our team NimbRo TeenSize participates in the Humanoid League
competitions of RoboCup 2013 in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
This year, both goals have the same color and visual landmarks on the sideline of the field have been removed. This makes localization on the field harder.
In the first round robin game, our robots Dynaped
and Cosero met CIT-Brains from Japan. The Japanese team seems to be the
strongest competitor in the TeenSize class. Both teams played well,
went quickly to the ball and could kick hard. The NimbRo robots were
more stable and had advantages in one vs. one fights. Consequently,
they won the game 4:1 after 2:0 score at half time.
In the second game, our robots met team SIOR from Korea. In this game, our new NimbRo-OP robot entered the tournament and scored its first official goal. With the help of Dynaped, the game ended 7:0 for NimbRo (after 4:0 at half time).

Our team NimbRo won the TeenSize soccer competition, technical challenge, and received the Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Award.
In the final, our robots met the team CIT Brains from Japan. Both teams already played the final 2010 in Singapore. It was a very exciting game where both teams played with two capable field players and no goalie. In the first half, the NimbRo robots were not going for the ball enough. The game was open, which is reflected by the score of 2:2 at half time. After a programming adjustment during the break, the NimbRo robots Copedo and Dynaped had an advantage in the second half. They scored four more goals while the Japanese robots scored only once. The game ended 6:3 for NimbRo. After the competition, our robots were elected for the Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Award by the 30 team leaders of the entire Humanoid League.

Together, this gave a perfect score of 30 points for the Technical
In the semi-final, our robots met again team SHAYAN. The Iranian team improved there robot a lot, such that frequently two opponents were at the ball. After clearing these situations, our robots Dynaped (first half) and Copedo (second) half scored reliably. The game ended 6:0 for NimbRo after 3:0 at half time.
In the evening, a 3 vs. 3 demonstration game was played. Our three robots played vs. robots of the three other teams.
In the last round robin game, our robots met team DARwIn-XOS from USA. Both teams played with only one robot -- we used Dynaped in the first half and Copedo in the second half. Because there were some interruptions our robots scored only nine goals. With 9:0 points and 23:0 goals, NimbRo wins the round robin.
We participate at RoboCup

Publication & Exhibition Design
A brief to design the 2012 yearbook for the BA (Hons.) Photography course at Leeds College of Art and the accompanying promotion for their graduation show. An appropriate, abstract photograph was selected to accompany the given title of 'Infinity' - a turquoise spot colour was dropped from this and used to highlight different elements throughout. Each student has two double-page spreads to showcase their work with our job to formulate a layout that would allow their images to be shown as large as possible. A set of four posters were designed using similar imagery from the same photographer and the yearbook cover was enlarged to form a banner. An extract from the yearbook foreword by Thijs Groot Wassink was produced in a large-scale vinyl format to introduce the exhibition with photographer statements printed onto acetate and set onto the wall.

what baffles Baird even more is that the situation has gotten worse. In the past few years a whole new totally unregulated, $100 million dollar industry has grown up in Washington called political intelligence. It employs former congressmen and former staffers to scour the halls of the Capitol gathering valuable non-public information then selling it to hedge funds and traders on Wall Street who can trade on it.
Baird: Now if you're a political intel guy. And you get that information. Long before it's public. Long before somebody wakes up the next morning and reads or watches the television or whatever, you've got it. And you can make real-- real-time trades before anybody else.

Tacit assumptions include the underlying agreements or statements made in the development of a logical argument, course of action, decision, or judgment that are not explicitly voiced nor necessarily understood by the decision maker or judge. Often, these assumptions are made based on personal life experiences, and are not consciously apparent in the decision making environment. These assumptions can be the source of apparent paradoxes, misunderstandings and resistance to change in human organizational behavior.
Notable examples of tacit assumptions are those arguments supporting moral, religious, racist, organizational culture, and political arguments.

As a slushbox owner I'm obviously not planning to do any such thing but I am still curious.
A flywheel serves a couple of purposes....it acts as a big vibration damper, smoothing out engine pulses (not a BFD on BMW`s I6s, which have excellent primary balance). It also stores kinetic (rotational) energy, which make it easier to get the car under way from a standing start (a slightly heavier `wheel is beneficial here). When a manual trans is idling in neutral, all the shafts & gears are sort of banging around inside the trans case, because nothing is engaged or under load, so the (heavier) flywheel also dampens any potential rattling from the trans. An 8-lb. `wheel doesn`t offer much in the way of damping or centrifugal energy, so you will have more driveline noise, and the car will be harder to launch smoothly. Performance always involves a trade-off of some sort....a heavier flywheel (24 lbs. for the stock unit) gives acceptable levels of performance for non-enthusiasts, but is sluggish to react to change (remember Newton`s Third Law ?). A 16-lb. solid billet wheel is probably the best compromise....it allows much faster rev capability, while providing enough inertial energy that the car isn`t a royal pain in the ass in everyday driving. And, the solid billet `wheel/sprung clutch combo offers a substantial improvement in engagement feel and predictability compared to the stock DMF/SAC setup.
Hope that was clear enough for ya....

I'm uploading to mediafire now. There's still a lot of work to be done on it, but I've been distracted by another minor project the last couple of days.
To Do:
• Optimize size of overlay
• Add analog clock
• Add toggle for fullscreen visualization (in my version it only appears as the small orb currently.
• Write an override for placement of lyrics when using a lyrics script
• Realign some of the text (it's a few pixels off)
Basically what you see is what you get until I get enough time to make the above changes. See screenshot below.
Download Here
Edit: Just installed Nuka's Weather Mod, apparently that changes the fonts.xml file, so all font sizes will be wrong if you have that installed, you'll need to change the font sizes to get it to display properly.
Here's a link that should be compatible with the weather mod. It uses different font sizes, so I adjusted the color a bit for contrast on the smaller text. Additionally, I shrank the file size of the orb overlay, and exchanged the gradient top and bottom tint images for a 1x720 gradient, same effect, but 1/70th the file size.

Someone requested that I post the vinyl mod, so here goes.
In MusicVisualisation.xml, find the following line and change time="150" to time="999"
<animation effect="rotate" end="-360" center="auto" time="150" loop="true" reversible="false" condition="!Player.Paused">Conditional</animation>
After the "</control>" line a few lines down, add the following block of code...
PHP Code:
<control type="image">
Now copy these two images to your media/cd/ folder (backup your cd/default.png file in case you want to switch back)
Rename to default.png
Rename to arm2.png
If anyone has a better vinyl image, please post it

thanks for this pkellum & dfmos
looks good on the xbox1
the record change is good too, it is spinning slower.
i changed the animation effect to "none" as the record arm was spinning 360 degrees and was looking funny!
the record arm is sitting below the record too what code do i change to fix that?

Nice mod. I like the original one without all the extras.
1. I also prefer the look of vinyl to the CD but I can't find the right vinyl image.
I found a black vinyl record, but it has the same issue as the green one posted above, it has a light source. The reflection on the record should not move with the record as it spins. A light source (like the red one on a Technics 1200) should remain static as the record moved beneath it. The effect of the spinning light reflection on the vinyl is really jarring to me. I can't find any images of a record without some sort of reflection though.
2. To the poster above, 45 RPM = one rotation every 1.33 seconds, or 1333 milliseconds. If you want the record at 45 RPM, set the rotation time to 1333. If you want 33 RPM try 1818. A real smart script would figure out if it was a single or an album and vary accordingly
3. Is there an issue in TRAC for the inconsistent FanArt query? This is the other major issue keeping this mod from being great.

Perhaps a lighting effect overlay could be used once a good vinyl image is found.

Nice vinyl image. Here is a copy of it sized and with the background removed.
Download Here There is a highlight on the upper left corner (it looks like it was made in photoshop with the "bevel & emboss" style), that'll spin too, so it's not going to be the best quality. From an overhead perspective, the record should actually appear black (no lines) and only reveal the depth of the grooves when exposed to light which would shine from one quadrant continually, regardless of it's spin. Those lines would have some variation as it spins, bound to the speed. The animation effects available don't lend to this type of detail, so no vinyl image will really look acurate.
Does anyone know it XBMC will play animated image formats like gif or apng (preferred) with undithered transparency? Then I could animate the reflection and reduce the overall file size of the record image.
I was also thinking that the media image (CD or Record) could be an option based on the year of the song playing.
Something along the lines of
IF TrackYear <= 1985 [display record] else [display cd]
It would be nice to add an options menu which would toggle some of the features. Weather, time, Next Track Preview on/off. Fullscreen Visualization / Mini Visualization. Show Record / Show CD.

Fixed Vinyl Lighting
Forgive the shitty video, YouTube killed the quality, but it should give you a rough idea of how it looks.
The image here is a clean still shot, it will look like this (but animated). The video has too much pixelation to be a fair representation.
Video Here
Here's what you need:
• Record Image
• Highlight Image
• Code
I'm not going to package this one as I'm running a few mods now that would make my version appear differently on your screen, so just add it manually.
The Code
<!-- Mod- group animation -->
Now copy the vinyl image and the highlight image to the "\\media\cd" folder. They're a bit sloppy, feel free to touch up if you like.
Get the Images Here
You'll have to add the arm yourself, I didn't bother with that.

A team of Lancaster University undergraduates has beaten stiff competition to win the Barclays Technology Challenge 2013 at MediaCityUK.
This year, the student teams were given the brief of resolving a selection of problems from both Barclays and their partners, the BBC. These included how to pause and resume content from BBC iPlayer across multiple devices, creating a money management app for Barclays and a challenge to create a BBC knowledge and learning product for teachers and students. The Lancaster finalists - 'Team Smartpause' - worked hard over three weeks to resolve the challenge set, create a prototype demonstration and produce as robust commercial plan.
At the finals on 21 November 2013, teams from the Universities of Manchester and Salford, Edge Hill University, Liverpool Hope University and Lancaster University presented their proposals to a panel of experts from Barclays Bank and the BBC. The standard was very high but the Lancaster University triumphed. The students were excited to win and team leader Liz Colvin commented: "It's been an amazing experience, I've had a chance to work with lots of people I wouldn't otherwise have met and got to learn new skills and about aspects of web app development and programming".
The expert panel were particularly impressed with the prototype that the team had devised; keeping the look and feel consistent with the BBC iPlayer branding and backed up with a carefully constructed commercial plan.
Each winning student scooped £50 Amazon vouchers in addition to money-can't-buy opportunities including a week's work experience at Barclays and two weeks work experience at the BBC in Salford. They have also been shortlisted for a £5000 internship with Barclays Bank next summer.

If you're as fierce as Tyra Banks, know your Prada from your Primark and know what's bang on trend in every season, then a career in fashion retail is right up your catwalk.
Ok you might not be working at London's Fashion Week or partying with designers, but you'll still get to work surrounded by clothes and accessories which is close enough.
Just like a shopaholic's wardrobe, the choice of jobs in fashion retail is endless. From the shop floor in a sales assistant role, behind the scenes in the warehouse, or deciding what should be stocked in the first place in a buying and merchandising role, there's something for every interest.
Your daily tasks will change depending on your job title. If you're working on the shop floor, you job will include:
Whereas more head office roles such as buyer and merchandiser will include tasks like:
Expect to work around 40 hours a week in flexible shift patterns. As is common in retail jobs, you'll be expected to work on both weekdays and weekends.
No matter who you're working for, you'll be expected to reflect their values and style, particularly when dealing with customers or meeting clients. This means it's quite common for fashion employees to wear their company's brands at work.
Depending on your position within the company and your location, you starting salary as a sales assistant will be between £12,000 and £15,000.
Work your way up to an assistant manager career and you'll earn around £17,000-£25,000, and become the big cheese store manager and you'll earn anything between £40,000 and £70,000.

This is an exciting sector to work in, it's fast paced and always changing thanks to seasonal trends.
Competition can be fiercer than a model's signature stare, so you'll need plenty of work experience and a drive to beat the other candidates…just pretend you're on Britain's Next Top Model.
A passion for fashion is more important than formal qualifications. Although some general education (or a degree in something relevant like fashion) is handy, without an enthusiasm or an interest in the job, you're unlikely to impress employers.
Previous work experience (either in retail or fashion) can also be incredibly useful to have, as it will develop your knowledge and arm you with some great transferable skills such as sales, customer service and marketing.
If you still want to hit the books, make sure you study something relevant to the job. Anything that makes you more knowledgeable about sales, marketing, merchandising or business is a bonus on the CV.
If you don't have the time to take a study break from work, the good news is that fashion retailers offer lots of in-house training and work-based qualifications. These include:
Hate clothes shopping and always skip the fashion pages in magazines because you couldn't care less about the latest styles? Then this isn't the job for you.
As well as an interest in fashion and a stylish wardrobe, to work in this industry it's useful if you have some or all of the following skills:
