With the recent study that showed that girls started to believe they weren't brilliant at around age 6 came out, I thought it was time to bring this story back into the spotlight. Back in March of 2016, a very young girl by the name of Jordan Reeves, created a prosthetic arm for herself. If that's not brilliant — I don't know what is.
Adorably, the project that Reeves concocted was entitled "Project Unicorn". Even more adorably, the arm shoots out glitter. It's a prosthetic arm and a cannon. Jordan loads the barrels, and when she tugs on the firing cord, out comes a whole lot of glitter right in front of her.

It is 3D printed, and it rests on Jordan's left-upper arm. The prosthetic arm was helped created by the 3D designers Autodesk, who had helped out with a Superhero Cyborg program that was held in San Francisco around that time. A non profit organization entitled "KidMob" had organized the event. The entire event was surrounding the Cyborg theme, and Jordan (and the other six kids who were invited) was asked to make herself a body modification, which she did and succeeded doing with flying colors.
FastCompany reported on the same story, saying: "It's especially powerful for kids like Jordan, who struggle to find good prosthetics that are helpful, comfortable, and affordable. Her mom, Jen Lee Reeves, has been working to find the right prosthetic since Jordan was 9 months old. Most existing designs are for people with a working elbow, but Jordan's left arm ends just above the joint. And designs that might work can be incredibly expensive, making them impractical for a kid who will grow out of it in just a few months."
Brilliant girls come in all shapes, sizes, and ages. It's important that we don't forget that and that we encourage our girls to go out there and put their intelligence to the test, because they certainly have the means to.

Happy Monday Friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Saturday we attended my cousin's wedding in Downtown Detroit and Sunday we spent doing chores around the house. Nothing too exciting but very fun. I look forward to giving you an update about the wedding.
Today I wanted to share with you a little bit about Meal Enders Signaling Lozenges.
How it Works:
"MealEnders' active-taste formula rewards and resets your taste buds, distracting you from the temptation to overindulge. First the delicious Reward Layer treats you to the sweet taste of dessert – a signal we typically associate with the end of a meal. Then the Inner Core's Active-Taste Layer releases a proprietary blend of gentle, cool tingling sensations on the tongue, which engage the trigeminal nerve, distracting your mind from the urge to continue overeating. You can feel your MealEnder go to work instantly."
I received four bags of these lozenges to try from Meal Enders: Cinnamon, Mocha, Chocolate Mint and Citrus. Because I tend to lean for more fruity tastes I ended up picking the citrus as my bag to try. I waited until I was having a nasty craving for a big bowl of ice cream and popped one of those bad boys into my mouth.
To be honest, it was a bit of strange experience at first: they seem a bit chewy then they go from a chewy to a hard candy and then you find yourself sucking on it like you would a sucker.
As far as the taste goes, I was not too thrilled about the tingling sensation that happened, but I tend to avoid cough drops because of that sensation so I think it is matter of preference.
I would like to say that as time went on, my desire to eat a big bowl of ice cream went down and subsequently every craving after that was squelched by using one of the lozenges. So I have to say that they definitely do what they are supposed to do!
Want to try some Meal Enders for yourself? Good!
One lucky winner will receive Four (4) Bags - one of each flavor to try for themselves!

I'd love to hear from you!
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this product free from MealEnders and Sweat Pink. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. Read my full disclosure policy here.

It doesn't surprise us in the least. Mexico is the birthplace of sophisticated civilizations that developed calendars, agricultural systems, pyramids, codices and many other developments, so it is natural that it should be top of the list. Cultural heritage is understood as a peculiar form of life, aspects brought down from our ancestors such as knowledge, activities, languages, traditions, legends, art, games, material developments, etc. that survive over the generations and possess aesthetic, emotional, identifying and symbolic value, they are meaningful for the community and become a point of reference—all this is cultural heritage and it may be tangible or intangible.
Mexico possesses many registered archaeological cities: Palenque, Chiapas; Teotihuacán; Monte Albán, Oaxaca; Chichen Itzá, Yucatán; Tajín, Veracruz; Uxmal, Yucatán… It also has registered colonial cities: Historic Center of Mexico City and Xochimilco; Historic Center of Oaxaca; Historic Center of Puebla; the City of Guanajuato and adjacent mines …
Natural assets: Sian Ka'an, Quintana Roo; Vizcaíno Sanctuary, in Baja California; Rock Paintings of Sierra de San Francisco, in southern Baja California; Islands and protected areas of the Gulf of California…
Landscapes: The agaves and ancient tequila distilleries.
Routes: the 16th century convents near volcanoes; the Franciscan missions of Sierra Gorda, Querétaro and the Silver Route or Camino de Tierra Adentro.
Intangible cultural heritage: the indigenous feasts of the day of the dead (Added in 2003); the dance of the Voladores (2009); chichimeca and otomí traditions in Toliman and Peña de Bernal (2009); the Parachicos Feast in Chiapa de Corzo (2010); the pirekua michoacana (2010); Mexican gastronomy (2010), and music for strings, song and trumpets (2011).
Besides all the things registered by UNESCO, Mexico has so many places where you can indulge in cultural tourism. All this makes Mexico a country worthy of visiting and admiring.
"The hotels in Mexico of IBEROSTAR Hotels & Resorts are located in privileged areas to bring guests all the good qualities of the country: they are near beaches, surrounded by nature and not far from the most important archaeological sites."

StatoilHydro Backs Siem WIS for CircSub Test
Siem WIS, a company 60% owned by Siem Offshore, announced that a contract is entered into with StatoilHydro in respect of the prototype CircSub (Constant Circulation Device). StatoilHydro will contribute financially and operationally in the ongoing full scale test of the CircSub at the Weatherford Technology & Training Centre in Aberdeen.
The contract also includes a pilot offshore operation at one of StatoilHydro's North Sea installations.
Per Espen Edvardsen, CEO of Siem WIS, comments, "Siem WIS is pleased to have entered into this co-operation with StatoilHydro, and consider this contract an important step for the further development of the CircSub concept, and for the acceptance by the drilling industry."
"Due to rapid depletion of many reservoirs, drilling of new wells after production start is a challenge as the pore- and fracture pressure in the producing formation is reduced and creates a need to achieve a more constant well pressure during drilling and tripping operations."
"The aim of Siem WIS is that the use of the CircSub shall reduce the frequency of undesirable events, such as gas influx, wellbore collapse, or lost circulation and make it possible to drill wells with smaller pressure windows. The CircSub unit shall enable constant circulation during drilling, enabling difficult reservoirs to be drilled and drilled safer and more cost efficient."

"'Memphis' is not a comedy but it's still a cartoon," says Charles Isherwood.
I went on Friday night and I don't disagree but I still liked it a lot. Excellent dancing, singing and acting — excellent performers and very good choreography (by Sergio Trujillo — who did chor for "Jersey Boys" as well). I found the basic story a bit facile and, unfortunately Danny Tidwell (my main reason for going) is not in it very much — he's a dancer but has no speaking part — but still, it's definitely worth seeing, especially if you like good singing, fun dance numbers that make you want to get up out of your seat, and a story that's feel-good in a "Dirty Dancing" kind of way.
I'm out the door (Cedar Lake opens at Joyce tonight) but my review is coming soon — along with more pictures!
In the meantime, watch a good audio / slide show at the above NY Times link.

MacDonald combined rounds of 71-67 to reach 6-under. His most impressive round was a bogey-free 5-under 67 during afternoon play. Birdies for MacDonald came on holes 6, 8, 10, 11 and 16.
Runner-up Stewart Hagestand has been snake bitten of late in playoffs. At the end of June Hagestand finished regulation at the George C. Thomas Invitational tied with Scott Harvey only to fall in a sudden death playoff.
On Friday Hagestand paired rounds of 67-71 before once more falling in a playoff. His best round of the day, the morning round, included six birdies and one bogey.
Trevor Randolph and Darin Goldstein finished 2-under, tied for third. Four players were even-par and fifth.

Here is a second interview (the first being from a previous post) with Paul Waddell after his recent show at the MEME Gallery. I mostly want to talk a bit about the Turkey included in the installation, its rescue and the reasoning behind using a live creature as a collaborator. Enjoy!
Tag Archives: Paul Waddell
Giving Thanks for Paul Waddell
Paul Waddell is an artist, a friend, and a force that The Present Tense has had the pleasure of both showing and curating with. Beginning tomorrow, Paul will spend 72 hours at MEME Gallery giving thanks to Boston, Slash, SMFA, snow, and "everything that makes America great". He will be attempting to befriend a domesticated Turkey while watching football, making corn, and engaging in other holiday-related absurd activities. In this parody of Joseph Bueys' famous performance, "I like America and America likes me," where he lived in a gallery with a wild coyote, Paul will challenge gallery-goers to interact with him.
In preparation for this piece, appropriately titled, "I like Massachusetts and Massachusetts Massachusetts Massachusetts me" The Present Tense is posting an interview that Philip conducted during Paul's last visit to Boston during the Spring. Enjoy!

Remembering The Present Tense's First Patron…RIP Billy Ruane
5 years ago I was walking down the street in Central Square, Cambridge and my eyes met those of a white haired man wearing a barely buttoned dress shirt. He stopped me and asked "What kind of human are you?".
With a question like that I couldn't resist a conversation with this stranger. This was a few days before Philip and I were leaving to go to Muenster, Germany to show work at Gallery SoToDo's 13th Performance Art Congress. I told this man about my artistic practice, my trip, and our plans to produce The Present Tense's first art event, Activate, upon my return. He offered words of wisdom and offered me $200 in cold-hard-cash. He was so kind, asking me to use it to make the work I desired to make. He asked only that I bring some music back from Germany for him. This was a particularly difficult time for me financially and although it felt awkward taking money from a stranger, my instinct told me that this man was genuine in his offer and that I should take the opportunity presented to me. When I asked him his name, he replied "They call me Billy."
When I returned, I emailed Billy several times, but never received a response. That $200 saved Philip and I on that trip and made Activate possible upon our arrival back in Boston. I was tremendously grateful for Billy's generosity, always hoping that I would re-connect with him somehow so that I could show him the work I made, deliver the Cd's I collected for him and thank him. I never saw him again, until I saw a friend's update about his recent death on Facebook.
For the past 24 hours I have been discovering that Billy was a legend in the Boston/ Cambridge music scene. He supported musicians by organizing, promoting, and funding their endeavors in addition to sharing his extrordinary energy and dance moves! He first brought music to the Middle East Club in Cambridge in the 80's. I have learned that he touched the lives of countless creative minds by offering acts of kindness to show his support and belief in the potential of the artistic process. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and inspiration that I was fortunate to have experienced Billy's magic.
To be frank, it isn't always easy to be an artist, no matter what medium you choose. My brief meeting with Billy has been the story that I replay when I feel discouraged and it is one that I love to share with people. The money he gave was needed and well spent, but he provided me with so much more than financial relief. This experience embodied the promise of hope. This experience profoundly affected my work as an artist and organizer. I hope that Billy's memory will continue to energize, inspirit, an empower.
Below are selections from Activate: an evening of Occurrence
This debut event for The Present Tense, hosted at Zeitgeist Gallery wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of Billy Ruane.

Hi there-
I was excited to read about the street food starting to come to Montreal. But I'm curious if anyone has been since the beginning of the summer, where I read a few reviews/comments about trucks running out and long lines. We are coming up this weekend and I was curious what kind of experiences people have been having lately.
Also, what do people know about the weekday Terrasse lunch at CCP? I have eaten dinner there and adored it but that was in the winter - can't picture an outdoor space. Is is nice?

Phantom II Aerosol Spray

Marc from Charlottesville, Va writes,
I need an insecticide european hornets will take back to the nest and kill the queen
I have lots of european hornets at night at my windows. I was hoping at I could put a light out with a disk under it that the hornets would get on themselves and then take back to the nest. Is there such a thing? I tried Phantom but it seemed to kill too quickly as there were 20 dead hornets on the deck in the morning.
There are no products on the market for European hornets like you have described. Phantom would be a pretty good choice but if you were not satisfied with the results from that product you could try Termidor SC. Termidor has a little bit more of a delayed reaction time and it has one of the best transfer effects on the market.

The Greater Gardner Chamber of Commerce welcomed special guest Rob Ninkovich, New England Patriots Defensive End to Great Wolf Lodge for a Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Awareness event.
The event, held on the evening of Tuesday, October 11, 2016 drew over 200 attendees and addressed the issues of suicide, mental health concerns and opioid addiction in the northern Worcester County region.
Rob Ninkovich has been a key player for the New England Patriots since 2009 and has been a member of two Super Bowl teams. He has been touched by suicide in his professional life. He recounted how teammate and NFL Hall of Famer Junior Seau, a seasoned veteran, was one of his mentors and how devastating and unbelievable it was when Seau took his own life in 2012.
Ninkovich also discussed the need for open dialog, pointing out that while there is a lot of information available, most people who need help do not seek it. He acknowledged how important and supportive his family had been for him during his recent suspension.
Congresswoman Niki Tsongas and State Senator Jen Flanagan, both actively involved in leading the fight against these problems also addressed the gathering.
In addition to the speaking presentations, over twenty local agencies that provide diverse resources related to the suicide prevention, substance abuse and mental health awareness were available to address concerns and provide information on their services.
Chamber President & CEO Jim Bellina said "The evening's objective was to make the business community more aware of the magnitude of the problems, the attendant signs and the resources that are there to help. I believe we achieved that objective but it is only a beginning"
Kandi Perry, Senior VP of MVP Sponsor Agera Energy said "Agera is honored to have the opportunity to take the lead in this important undertaking and it is a privilege to work for such a community minded company."
Touchdown Sponsors included Heywood Hospital, Fidelity Bank/Shine Initiative. Field Goal Sponsors were Advanced Cable Ties and Tyco Simplex/Grinnell. First Down Sponsors included C.M. Chartier Contracting, Elms College, GAAMHA, Inc., and Mount Wachusett Community College. Kickoff Sponsors were Athol Savings Bank, Colonial Co-operative Bank, Eastern Propane, GFA Federal Credit Union, MassMen, MedStar EMS, Pete's Tire Barn and Unitil.
Football Fan Sponsors were the A.E.D. Foundation, Inc. and Lynde Hardware & Supply, Inc. Press Box Sponsors included Competitive Edge Marketing & Design, Great Wolf Lodge, Pro Sports MVP, Travers Printing, Inc., The K-Zone WPKZ 1280/105.3, WGAW1340.com and WTAG News Radio 580/94.9.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to suicide prevention/awareness initiatives in the greater Gardner region and Heywood Healthcare's Quabbin Retreat, slated for opening later this year in Petersham. This innovative facility will provide outpatient, residential and inpatient services to adults and adolescents struggling with behavioral health and substance abuse problems.

How to change from mass flow to volume flow rate
Dear all In inlet condition use mass flow rate (kg/s).In mass flow inlet panel,the mass flow specification method have three chooses,I chose mass flow rate.But I want to input volume flow rate (m3/s). How to change mass flow rate into volume flow rate.If the density unknown.
Thanks for any kind of help.

I have a triangle with an exclamation mark inside on mask folder, Entity file, World file
in Flash builder 4.7 and 8 warnings in total in the problems tab. I'm new can someone please help me with this issue.
I don't really understand what the problem is , as I don't use Flash Builder , but the first thing you should do is reinstaling.
Here's the tutorial for installing it. It's for Flash Develop, but it's the same. You just move the net folder in the src folder. (Where your Main.as is)
Or if that doesn't work , try downloading the SWC and adding it to your library.

There are a number of things that can cause aggressive dog behavior. It could be an issue from puppyhood that was never properly dealt with – such being attacked by another dog or, it could be an issue related to dominance between you and the dog. Whatever the cause is, it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. Prolonged aggression is not only frightening, but dangerous if it is not quickly addressed.
The Source of Aggressive Dog Behavior
Aggressive behavior in dogs can begin as early as 6 weeks old. This is also the age when it is important a puppy begin socializing with other dogs and undergo training that stops them biting other people. This period of socialization normally stops when the dog turns 14 weeks old, however it can extend further.
This raises several implications of how we should treat a puppy. The first thing is, a puppy should never be taken away from its litter before 8 weeks old. Any harsh discipline between 8 and 10 weeks should be avoided. The dog should receive very gentle treatment during that time. Giving harsh punishments such as hitting or yelling at a young age can result in the development of aggressive dog behavior over time.
It is strongly recommended to properly socialized your dog with people and other dogs by 14 weeks of age to avoid any future aggression issues.
A number of factors can trigger actual aggressive behavior. Heredity and genetics can play a part in causing aggression, with some breeds more aggressive than others, but it is not a hard and fast rule. In addition, dogs that are not neutered or spayed tend to be more aggressive than those that have the procedure.
However, the biggest and most important factor in the development of aggressive dog behavior is their environment. A dog subjected to poor living conditions, harsh treatment, lack of socialization, or that has been attacked or frightened by another dog is likely to develop aggression as it grows older.
The need to establish a pack pecking order can also result in aggression. A dog testing for dominance will often result in biting, posturing, or other forms of aggressive tendencies. You'll need to establish a position of dominance over your dog at the earliest age possible and maintain it throughout adolescence, to ensure they do not take control of the household.
Stopping and Controlling Aggressive Dog Behavior
A dog will reached sexual maturity after 14 months of age. If it displays aggressive behavior after this age, you should address the problem immediately. This is especially true it has already been altered. The first thing you need to do is established yourself as the pack leader. There should not be any reward for aggressive behavior, even if it is triggered by something which scared the dog, which is especially true in this case.
Your dog should be trained to respond to commands. You should also control their feeding and walking times, and there is a strong leader for the dog in the house. Your dog will exhibit stronger aggression toward others if you defer or allow it to take liberties in your home.
If your dog have not have been properly socialized they can become defensive-aggressive and may strike out at a person in fear. If this case they will need to be kept away from small children (which they may see as a threat), and you should attend a training session or see a behaviorist who will gently accustom the dog to a social atmosphere.
Aggressive dog behavior is one of the biggest problems many owners have, but it is controllable, even as your dog grows older. If your dog's aggression turn into violence, consider asking a professional to intervene before it is held responsible for injuring someone.

Tous des Monstres (All of the Monsters) is a student film from Supinfocom directed by Nicolas Deprez, Laurent Jaffier, Pierre Lippens and Gabrielle Lissot. It's NSFW, but more than that, the imagery is just plain disturbing. The tight little story they constructed around the visuals, with Pinocchio-esque undertones, is impressive for a student CG short, and shows the value of focusing on story and character as well as technique and animation.
"Tous des Monstres" Will Keep You Awake Tonight

These filmmakers have clearly heard of the old male oriented joke that goes:
"Why do you call a womans midsection and waist? …
Because you could easily fit another pair of…"
That's just messed up. Kudos to the filmmakers for putting a kink in my think.
Paul Dini
Now that's how they should reboot Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Wow…that was…amazing. The part where she broke his legs made my physically sick to my stomach. This film is gorgeous, but…yikes. T___T
Seconded. I felt a physical shock run through my body.
Mike Johnson
It's like Tim Burton meets Neil Gaiman…I love it!
Krayon S.
à¹_ๅ.You can't tell me that original story that that F**ed up. A Disfigured boy trying to get affection and trying to fit in with his peers and turning into the hunchback of Notre Dame to a Teenage Mutant Turtle and get abused yet torched with love (in a selfish and disturbing way) .
And after just watching Precious(the movie)……He made that Heifer seems like she just went to Disneyland. Yet that was a Awesome and yet very disturbing story!
What worst I'm about to go to sleep after watching this…….. à¹Ì¯à¹
I don't feel comfortable with this film's story. It's technically OK, it follows the rules – but I don't like the subject at all, because we have real-life crippled beggars here in the streets of Berlin, children and adults. Victims of war, or of a poisoned land, they come and try to survive. There's definitely no circus side show or other romantic frostening involved.
dear slowtiger, your reasoning is plain unreasonable: according to you, one should not show what exists in real life. Furthermore, you imply that beggars and cripples have a happy-go-to haven in France. I would assume that real-life crippled beggars exist in Valenciennes, same as in Berlin, in Hamburg (where I live) or any other place on earth. Further-furthermore, you imply that a circus side show would be a romantic-frostening-type place for the disfigured. Not being disfigured myself, I would guess along the lines of Tod Browning's "Freaks" and "The Elephant Man" and say that, no, a circus side show ain't really romantic… But the little film is, in in an odd, neat way.
happy frostening to you,
Very disturbing. But atmospheric and very well done.
Must-see viewing for all kiddies who dream of running off to join the circus.
dr. truth
WHOAAA…cannot watch this on my work computer. lol
Walter Keane on LSD. . .
Or Margaret…the real artist behind Walter.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik
What a sadistic and depressing story.
Wow, the most beautiful (and longest) cutaway joke from FAMILY GUY ever!
No, I'm serious. It's just the parody of a cliche, done in the most obvious and shocking way. Okay, in FAMILY GUY it would have been done in less than 30 seconds and very, very limited animation (and they would probably put a rape joke somewhere in there), but I don't see how this "shows the value of focusing on story and character as well as technique and animation".
I'm scarred for life.
I'm going to invent a word for how this made me feel: yeeeck.
Brian Kidd
Disturbing, yes, though haunting and beautiful. I thought the character models were especially well-done.

H&M is a Swedish multinational clothing-retailer, known for producing low price, high fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers and children. The brand's clothing follows current fashion trends, is designed and manufactured quickly, is affordable, and is aimed at mainstream consumers. The H&M philosophy is to make fashion affordable for everyone.
🔍 H&M shares a list of 98.5% of first tier suppliers names and addresses and 56% of its second tier suppliers (fabric and yarn) names and addresses. Visitors to the brand's website can access this information through an interactive map which H&M aims to update every 3 months.
💪🏼 Since 2015, H&M has been running a new supplier assessment program called SIPP (Sustainable Impact Partnership Programme). SIPP is based on the Higg Index and suppliers self report, with the brand validating the results and working with suppliers to set improvement targets.
♻ The brands goal is to use 100% recycled or sustainably sourced materials by 2030 and to take a circular approach to how products are made and used. The strategy is being formed in dialogue with a number of partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the Cradle to Cradle Institute. In 2016, 26% of the brands materials met this criteria.
💡 The Global Change Award is an annual innovation competition funded by the H&M Foundation. Innovations from the five 2017 winners which will receive funding include Grape leather, Manure couture, Denim-dyed denim, Solar textiles and Content thread.
💪🏼 The October 2016 report, When "best" is far from good enough produced by the Cambodian NGO Center for Alliance of Labor & Human Rights (CENTRAL) and Future In Our Hands, evaluated three of H&M's "platinum" suppliers and one "gold" supplier. The report found that despite the brand's Fair Wage Method project being initiated in 2013, the platinum suppliers were below the industry median ($178/month) in terms of wages and that a living wage was not being ensured at all four suppliers, based on evidence that suppliers had suffered fluctuating wages caused by bad planning of orders and unstable purchasing practices.
💪🏼 The H&M Group has a whistleblower policy in place for its direct employees but no such policy is publicly available for the workers in its supply chain. Grievances raised by workers' representatives during 2015 concerned issues related to freedom of association and discriminatory practices.
💪🏼 In February 2016, Quartz reported that a fire had occurred at a Bangladesh factory producing goods for H&M, which injured 4. The factory was inspected in May 2014 and found to be lacking adequate fire doors, sprinklers, fire alarms, and fire hoses, among other deficiencies. It was reported that had the fire occurred 60 minutes later 6000 workers would have been inside.
♻ In April 2016, the Guardian reported issues with H&M's Recycling Week. Technical problems with commercial fibre recycling mean that only a small percentage of recycled yarn is used in new garments. Using publicly available figures and average clothing weights, it appears it would take 12 years for H&M to use up the 1,000 tons of fashion waste it aimed to collect during the week. The Guardian also reported that if 1,000 tons is recycled, that roughly equates to the same amount of clothes a brand of H&M's size pumps out into the world in 48 hours. The article went on to criticize the vouchers on offer to customers who recycle their clothing as they often fuel more purchasing.
/ The H&M group works with 1,826 first tier factories that employ 1.6 million people, of whom 65% are women.
/ Brands under the H&M Group are H&M, Cos, & Other Stories, Cheap Monday, Monki and Weekday.
/ The H&M group launched a new label, Arket, in March 2017, aimed at providing a range of essentials for men, women and children, and a small assortment for the home. The overall direction is simple, timeless and functional designs.
/ In 2016, the H&M Group made approximately SEK223 billion (approx. US$24.8 billion) in sales, up from SEK210 billion in 2015.
/ In 2016, H&M brand has 3,962 stores in 64 markets and e-commerce in 35 markets, up from 3,610 in 2015.
/ H&M shares a list of 98.5% of first tier suppliers names and addresses and 56% of its second tier suppliers (fabric and yarn) names and addresses through an interactive map which the brand aims to update every 3 months. The brand lists each supplier's rating – platinum, gold, silver and other – stating that suppliers graded with platinum or gold are its preferred suppliers producing around 60% of its products.
/ H&M Group aims to have full traceability of its cotton by 2020.
/ In 2016, H&M collaborated with Control Union on a pilot traceability system for organic cotton and viscose, developing a web-based system to record shipments and provide transaction records and a QR code for each one. The pilot was considered a success and H&M plans to scale up the system to cover the entire viscose supply chain over the next few years.
/ H&M states it cannot trace its entire supply chain.
/ A February 2016 Business & Human rights Resource Centre (BHRC) report outlined H&M's response to child labour being identified in one of its factories in Turkey. The brand terminated the business relationship immediately and worked with its NGO partner, CYDD (Association for the Support of Contemporary Living), to make an action plan identifying the most suitable education option for the child.
/ H&M discloses the 2015 compliance level of all audited first tier factories by region (it is unclear what % of first tier factories were audited). Results included:
- Is there a trade union represented in the factory? EMEA scored 17%, Far East scored 60%, South Asia scored 6%
- Is the factory covered by a collective agreement? EMEA scored 33%, Far East scored 75%, South Asia scored 3%.
- Are monthly overtime hours within legal limits? EMEA scored 56%, Far East scored 10%, South Asia scored 17%.
- Are the chemical containers properly labelled? EMEA scored 78%, Far East scored 51%, South Asia scored 55%.
- Have the workers who regularly handle chemicals been trained in safe chemical handling? EMEA scored 70%, Far East scored 66%, South Asia scored 53%.
/ In 2016, H&M replaced its Code of Conduct with its Sustainability Commitment which outlines fundamental and aspirational requirements for its suppliers to comply with. Fundamental requirements include:
- All workers have the right to join or form a trade union and bargain collectively
/ In its Sustainability Commitment, H&M states that "a fair living wage should always be enough to meet the basic needs of employees and their families, and provide some discretionary income." H&M reports that living wages are assessed in the brand's sustainability index and those suppliers achieving this will be rewarded with more business.
/ H&M has developed a fair living wage strategy which outlines the stakeholders involved in bringing systemic change in this area, including other brands using the same suppliers, government, factory owners and workers. In 2016, H&M reported that 140 manufacturing factories had implemented the Fair Wage Method, representing 29% of its production volume and around 250,000 workers. The brands overall goal is that by 2018, suppliers of 50% of the H&M group's production volume will have improved wage management systems and democratically-elected worker representation. It is unclear if this has led to improved wages at these factories.
/ The H&M Group has a whistleblower policy in place for its direct employees but no such policy is publicly available for the workers in its supply chain. Grievances raised by workers' representatives during 2015 concerned issues related to freedom of association and discriminatory practices.
/ H&M aims to ensure democratically-elected worker representation at suppliers producing 50% of H&M group's product volume by 2018. In 2016, 290 factories received workplace dialogue training, representing 42% of total product volume, and more than 370,000 factory workers are currently directly covered by democratically elected worker representation through the brands programs in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Ethiopia and India.
/ In 2015, H&M Group began using its Sustainable Impact Partnership Programme, called SIPP, which helps it monitor and measure suppliers' compliance against implementation of fundamental and aspirational levels of its Sustainability Commitment. SIPP is closely linked with SAC's Higg facility modules. Following an initial assessment, suppliers set their own goals and self-report annual results to H&M. A key element of the SIPP method is that all brands can use the results of the SIPP, meaning that suppliers only have to complete one assessment, rather than multiple brand-specific assessments.
- As of May 2016, H&M's monitoring programme (SIPP) covered 100% of first tier suppliers and those second tier suppliers (fabric and yarn suppliers) producing about 60% of the production volume for the H&M group.
/ In January 2017, SOMO published the report "Branded Childhood: How garment brands contribute to low wages, long working hours, school dropout and child labour in Bangladesh", where 75 adult workers were interviewed at 14 factory units at 10 different garment companies in Dhaka, Bangladesh, supplying several multinational companies including H&M. The report noted that:
- The majority of interviewed workers said their basic wage was insufficient to meet their families' basic needs and that they therefore needed to work overtime hours.
- Low wages and long working hours have been found to play a key role in parents' decisions to take their children out of school. Almost all families had multiple income earners.
/ From 2016, H&M aims to move towards a 100% circular business model. The H&M brands goal is to use 100% recycled or other sustainably sourced materials by 2030. In 2016, 26% of its materials met this criteria. The brand requires its sustainably sourced materials to be verified by a third party (e.g. through a Life Cycle Assessment report, HIGG MSI Tool, or MADE-BY fibre benchmark).
/ H&M aims to only use cotton from sustainable sources by 2020. In 2016, H&M's use of sustainable cotton was 43% of its overall cotton use (2015: 34%) made up of certified organic cotton, Better Cotton or recycled cotton.
/ The brand aims to use 100% Responsible Wool Standard certified wool by 2022. In 2016, approximately 25% of H&M second tier spinners completed the Content Claim Standard (CCS) used to verify wool through the entire supply chain for RWS.
/ In 2016, H&M used recycled polyester equivalent to more than 180 million PET bottles (2015: 90 million) making it the second largest user globally.
/ H&M launched its 2016 Conscious Exclusive Collection in March 2016. H&M's 2017 Conscious Exclusive collection features a dress made from Bionic®, a recycled polyester made from plastic shoreline waste. The collection also includes items made from lyocell, organic silk, recycled polyester, organic cotton, organic linen and Tencel.
/ H&M has been partnering with WWF since 2011 on water stewardship and in 2016, renewed this for a further 5 years, working with WWF to develop its 2040 Climate Positive Strategy and the goals to achieve it.
/ H&M has a ban on the use of chrome 6 for all its production, including leather. The brand admits that some of the tanning is performed further down the production chain where it does not perform controls, so its long-term strategy is to aim for a complete phase-out of chrome tanning.
/ The H&M Groups overall company vision set in 2016 has three ambitions:
- 100% Leading the Change to promote and scale innovation
- 100% Circular and Renewable
- 100% Fair and Equal – Fair jobs for all
The brand states that 100% is not an exact goal, but demonstrates the scale of its ambition and its commitment to change.
/ H&M reports that its three major focus areas for its Sustainability Commitment are:
- Healthy workplaces
- Healthy ecosystems
- Animal welfare
/ H&M states that a fair living wage should be enabled through the brand's purchasing practices and based on a skilled workforce with wage reviews on an annual basis. The brand aims to ensure improved wage management systems supporting fair living wages at business partners producing 50% of H&M group's product volume are in place by 2018.
/ In May 2017, Edie reported that H&M was the first international fashion retailer to sign up to The Climate Group's EP100 campaign, pledging to double its energy productivity within the next 13 years, making the commitment to double the economic output from every unit of energy consumed.
/ H&M aims to have a climate positive supply chain by 2040, meaning they are committed to reducing more greenhouse gases than they are responsible for, a target set in consultation with WWF.
/ The H&M Foundation is funded by the Stefan Persson family, who are the founders and main owners of H&M. Since 2013, the family has donated SEK 1.1 billion (approximately US$124 million). The Foundation reports that it works with 26 partners globally, and has impacted the lives of 740,000 people worldwide through its initiatives, working across four focus areas: Education, Water, Equality and Planet.
/ 50% of the proceeds from H&M's garment collection initiative are donated to the H&M Foundation. The brand reports that, in 2016, this amounted to €780,000 (approx. US$850,000). This money is invested in The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) and social projects.
/ Globally, H&M and the H&M Foundation have set a goal to provide at least 500,000 people with access to safe water by 2016. Together with partners such as WaterAid, H&M reached this goal a year earlier than planned and has provided more than 530,000 people in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Ethiopia with clean water since 2002.
/ The H&M Foundation partnered with UNICEF to invest in children's early education and development. This program aims to reach 73,600 children who will benefit from early childhood development programs by 2017. Since 2014, more than 45,000 children have benefitted from the H&M Foundation's funded activities. H&M also aims to contribute to the first-ever Global Report on Early Childhood Development highlighting key early development indicators to be released before 2017 to help shift global perceptions of the importance of early childhood development.
/ For each kilogram of clothes that H&M collects through its garment collection initiative, 0,02 Euro is donated to a local charity organization chosen by H&M. The brand shares the names of its charity partners that in each of the countries where it operates, how much money has been raised and how many kilos of clothing has been collected.
/ In 2016, the brand's CEO, Karl-Johan Persson, earned an estimated SEK 13.4 million (approximately US$ 1.5 million).
/ Forbes reported that the company intends to increase the number of its stores annually by 10%, averaging one store-opening each day, primarily focusing on China and new markets like India and South Africa.
/ In February 2015, Ecouterre reported that in a press release to the Guardian (page no longer available), H&M's CEO encouraged people to buy more otherwise there would be a social catastrophe. He said "But if we were to decrease 10 to 20 percent of everything we don't need, the result on the social and economic side would be catastrophic, including a lot of lost jobs and poverty."
/ The brand has been criticized for running its annual World Recycling week, which it launched in 2013, in the same week as Fashion Revolution Week. Ecocult reported Hendrik Lampa, H&M Development Sustainability Manager, "it's unfortunate that we were doing it at the same time, that was not our intention."
/ In June 2016, Withers and Rogers reported that The Hague Court of Appeal had found H&M liable for infringement of G-Star Raw's trademarks in use of the word RAW.
/ H&M aims to move towards a 100% circular business model. The brand states that it wants to use 100% recycled or other sustainably sourced materials by 2030 and to take a circular approach to how products are made and used. The strategy is being formed in dialogue with a number of partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. By 2016, 26% of its materials met this criteria.
/ In September 2016, H&M announced that The H&M Foundation had entered into a 4 year partnership with The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) to develop technologies to recycle blend textiles into new fabrics and yarns.
/ In April 2017, Refinery29 reported that the brand, through its Global Change Award from the H&M Foundation, awarded grants to five technologies to be developed:
- Grape leather, derived from waste materials of wine production
- Nylon, manufactured using only water, plant waste and solar energy
- Content Thread, in which fibres of a garment would be encoded with the garment's supply chain information
- Denim-Dyed Denim, where old jeans could be used to dye new jeans
- Fabric made from cellulose in cow dung.
/ In 2016, 71% of the brands stores had recycling systems in place, and the brand collected 15,888 tonnes of clothing – a 29% increase on 2015.
/ In April 2016, the Guardian reported issues with H&M's Recycling Week. Technical problems with commercial fibre recycling mean that only a small percentage of recycled yarn is used in new garments. Using publicly available figures and average clothing weights, it appears it would take 12 years for H&M to use up the 1,000 tons of fashion waste it aimed to collect during the week.

The article went on to criticise the vouchers on offer to customers who recycle their clothing as they often fuel more purchasing.
"Solidaridad is proud of its strategic partnership with H&M. Being a game changer in the sector; the collaboration between the two organisations is really effective. We realize the journey towards sustainability is a long journey, but so far what we've seen is that H&M is not afraid to take first bold steps. This has resulted in successful programs, such as the cleaner production program in Bangladesh with proven benefits for the local environment and communities. Also in exploring options in Ethiopia, we find in H&M a partner that has ambitious sustainability targets, but a humble and inclusive approach towards local stakeholders."
LINDA GREER quoted by MARC BAIN | QUARTZ
"Fundamentally, there is a disconnect between the idea that you are selling a tremendous amount of clothing in fast fashion and that you are trying to be a sustainable company…" – 04/15/2015
KRISTEN BRODDE quoted by MARC BAIN | QUARTZ
"H&M's Recycling Week is in reality a week of illusions since only one percent of collected clothing can be used as recycled fibers. But this is not told to the customers." – 04/16/2016
"I've said this before and I'll say it again: fast fashion can never be sustainable, no matter what companies say. I'm suspicious of Persson's claim that this is about the poor factory workers. More likely his capitalistic call to keep shopping has more to do with the 400 new H&M stores slated for opening." – 02/17/2015
"I am really proud of what H&M has achieved and the positive impact we are making. We are leading the way today within several sustainability areas and I want us to continue to raise the bar. This is why I am so happy to see that sustainability is on the minds of so many people at H&M – every day and in all departments. When I hear colleagues discussing sustainability over coffee, I honestly feel we have come a long way. But it is a very complex issue and we are certainly not at the end yet – there is more to do, for us and the entire industry." – Interview with Karl-John Persson, CEO of H&M
"Consumption as well as trade between countries and production in developing countries is necessary to create jobs and lift nations and people out of poverty. H&M is indirectly creating employment for over one million people, not least women, in the countries that manufacture our products." – unnamed H&M spokesperson as quoted by Marc Bain for Quartz – 04/16/2015

WORLD – UK to vote on EU in June
The UK will vote on whether to remain in the EU on Thursday 23 June, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
The prime minister made his historic announcement in Downing Street after briefing the cabinet.
He said he would be campaigning to remain in a reformed EU – and described the vote as one of the biggest decisions "in our lifetimes".
Ministers immediately divided up into the leave and remain camps as the campaigns got under way in earnest.
Home Secretary Theresa May heads the list of those who announced they will campaign to stay – but Justice Secretary Michael Gove has signed up to the leave campaign.
London Mayor Boris Johnson, who was not at the cabinet meeting, has yet to declare where he stands.
In his statement, Mr Cameron warned that leaving the EU would be a "leap in the dark" as he urged voters to back his reform deal.
"The choice is in your hands – but my recommendation is clear. I believe that Britain will be safer, stronger and better off by remaining in a reformed European Union."
Mrs May said the EU was far from perfect but "for reasons of security, protection against crime and terrorism, trade with Europe, and access to markets around the world" it was in the national interest to remain in.
Mr Gove said it had been the most difficult decision of his career to go against the prime minister but he believed "our country would be freer, fairer and better off outside the EU". He added: "Far from providing security in an uncertain world, the EU's policies have become a source of instability and insecurity."
Commons leader Chris Grayling, another leave campaign backer, told the BBC: "I actually believe the EU is holding this country back. We cannot control our borders, limit the number of people who come here do trade deals.
"I do not believe we can take decisions in the national interest when we are part of the European Union."
He said the prime minister had "put in a Herculean effort to try to deliver change" to Britain's relationship with the EU, but the "concessions" he had brought back from Brussels did not "give us the opportunity to take decisions in the national interest" without consulting Brussels.
Mr Cameron claims his EU reform deal – hammered out at a two-day summit in Brussels – will give the Britain "special status" within the bloc – tackling concerns over migrants getting "something for nothing" from the benefit system and exempting the country from the EU drive for "ever-closer union".
But critics say it does nothing to tackle high levels of immigration or take back powers from Brussels, with UKIP leader Nigel Farage branding it "truly pathetic".
Britain Stronger in Europe released a campaign video accusing leave campaigners of "utter hypocrisy" for attacking Mr Cameron's deal, claiming that many of them have been calling for the same reforms.
Alan Johnson, chairman of Labour In for Britain, said the party would be "united in making the case that Britain is better off in Europe".
"Our EU membership brings Britain jobs, investment, trade and keeps us safe. Leaving the EU would put all that at risk and diminish Britain's influence in the world. It was pressure from Labour that meant David Cameron has been prevented from trading away rights at work in this deal and we can now get on with our campaign to keep Britain in Europe."
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said in a statement the SNP will be "leading the positive case to keep Scotland in the EU".
One Response to WORLD – UK to vote on EU in June
I may the majority of one, who will say , it doesn't make any difference whether they stay in, or drop out of EU.. the priminister is trying to cover up what has back fired on his party,50 years ago and the same issue today.. before was black immigration, today its poor eastern Europe migration..
But, the difference today , corporate Europe is in control of most british companies . especially the commodities, what is not control by Europe, is part by Australia, and the balance by Indian corporates, one other issue, 2 british Protectorates, is holding this all together, Bermuda and The Cayman islands.. when you consider the HSBC issue last year, this brought the stink.to it all.
This is just politicians going through the motion, to convince the people who don't matter ,that they are doing ever so much in the interest of the people. politicians you just cannot trust them…

EmergentLive: From Passion to Profession BLAB session
May 18, 2016
Are you a horticulture or landscape student, young green industry professional, experienced pro or transitioning careers?
Perception of value in the green industry is a tough topic. Often, young professionals struggle to find a path to the type of career or earnings they want. Experienced pros may not be demanding enough professional respect for the career they are passionat about...and amateur gardeners who want to transition into the green industry profession may not understand what it really takes. I'll be joining the Emergent in Horticulture gang Tuesday night BLAB session to offer my thoughts, experience and strategies to "move from passion to profession" in the green industry. Tuesday, May 24th 7pm, Central time, 8pm Eastern.
Here is the LINK to the live session
Not familiar with BLAB? It's like a podcast, but in live video! You can login with your Twitter or Facebook account, watch the conversation, post questions for us and even join in if selected. BLAB can be used on your computer, or download the app on your phone or iPad.

Prevent Mosquitoes Now!
May 16, 2016
Mosquitoes are a fact of life here in Dallas, but this year it looks like we're in for a bumper crop. The mild weather and additional rainfall this spring means a healthy crop of Mosquitoes. They are coming out in droves and are going to make it tough for you to enjoy any outdoor time once the rains pass.
While you may feel there is little you can do to stop the mosquito invasion, there are actually some simple treatments you can use to stop mosquitoes in their tracks. While adult mosquitoes can be sprayed with chemical treatments, or repelled with natural sprays, it can be difficult to successfully control them in this manner. Prevention is always the best medicine.
All it takes is a few handfuls of a natural larvicide to successfully prevent mosquitoes in your landscape.
Bt (Bacillius thuringiensis var. israelensis) also known as Thuricide (liquid form) or Mosquito Bits, is an all natural and amazingly effective preventative treatment for mosquitoes. This naturally occurring bacteria is fatal only to larvae and caterpillars. The species included in this product is particularly effective against Mosquito larvae (and fungus gnats). All you have to do is sprinkle a few handfuls of the bits under your foundation shrubs, any landscape beds with automated irrigation or that you water regularly, drain boxes, low spots in the yard and even gutters.
It's a good idea to start putting out your Mosquito Bits in April and continue doing so monthly through September.
The Bt attacks the mosquito larvae and kills them before they even have a chance to mature. This bacteria is safe for children, pets, birds and fish. It's the most non-toxic and most effective treatment for dealing with Mosquitoes.
If you live on a creek, pitch a Mosquito Dunk in it once per month to help control the population. Pass it on to your neighbors and ask they do the same. Do the same for ponds, birdbaths, abandoned pools, or any other standing bodies of water in your neighborhood.
Hopefully, you haven't been contributing to the moisture problem by running your sprinkler systems when it's already rained...or is currently raining. All it takes is a small puddle of water for new mosquitoes to breed. When soils are already saturated, excess irrigation will only make the problem worse.
Preventing mosquitoes now is the best way to prevent a serious infestation problem this summer.
Time for Tropicals
May 11, 2016
If you're looking to create a tropical feel in your landscape, now's the time. The bit of sunshine we're finally getting combined with the high humidity is certainly making Dallas feel pretty tropical right now. May through early June is prime time for you snap up your favorite tropical plants at your local garden center. Tropical hibiscus, mandevilla, allamanda and bouganvilla are just a few of the most popular tropicals you'll find. But there are so many more to choose from.
I love to use blooming and foliage tropicals in containers for an instant feeling of lushness in the landscape. Most tropicals make excellent container specimens so they're the perfect choice if you need to quickly spruce up the patio for a party or your Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Tropical hibiscus are available in a dizzying array of colors and add the most tropical feel to any space. You can plant tropical hibiscus in containers alongside sweet potato vine or other trailing foliage plants. Or, plant them directly into the landscape as a feature in a sunny bed. If you're planting in-ground, be sure you've amended your landscape beds with plenty of compost and some expanded shale to aid drainage. Fertilize regularly to keep plants in bloom.
Firebush loves the heat.
If you're looking for a tropical that's irresistible to hummingbirds, Firebush tops the list (Hamelia patens). This tough, heat loving tropical brings butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden in droves. Firebush offers pretty green foliage and tufts of tubular red-orange blooms. A wonderful plant for both landscapes and patio containers. Plant in a sunny location and provide some supplemental water through summer.
Of course, my favorite Esperanza is ORANGE.
Another hummingbird-favored tropical, or semi-tropical, is Esperanza (Tecoma stans). While plants will sometimes through the winter in our Dallas gardens, often times you'll lose them to a hard freeze. But that's ok, because they'll bloom non-stop until we hit freezing weather. Esperanza is available in shades of bright yellow, to orange, to almost red.
Hummingbirds will make a beeline for this Esperanza whether it's in a patio container or in the landscape. Plants require little care to look beautiful.
There are so many beautiful tropicals to choose from right now that I could never list all of my favorites. There are many tropicals that may not bloom conspicuously, but rather offer up wonderful foliage color and contrast. Be sure the bloomers get a sunny location and the foliage tropicals a bit of afternoon shade. You know all those tropical foliage houseplants you love? Any of them can be planted outdoors in patio containers and even the landscape if you give them some afternoon shade. Some of the most beautiful tropical containers are created by mixing unusual foliage tropicals with bright bloomers

THE Cardiff City class of 2003 are set to take their place among the most celebrated Bluebirds players in the club's history.
Seven goals scored, none conceded and six points secured in two away matches have opened the way to the dream of First Division football next season.
City have been promoted 10 times before in more than 80 years as a Football League club, but this time, thanks to the backing of owner Sam Hammam, has the potential to be the most significant of all.
There is still a lot of football to be played before Cardiff could even contemplate claiming their prize of automatic promotion, but they are a team in form, full of confidence and learning to deal with the jitters which come with the huge expectation of Bluebirds supporters.
A place in Division One next season would be a major leap forward at a time when City are awaiting the final go-ahead for their new stadium and at last they look capable of completing the job.
Nobody at Ninian Park would relish another play-off campaign and every thought is currently on earning automatic promotion.
It now looks a straight shoot-out between Crewe, Cardiff and Bristol City, who all have to play each other, for the one spot still available and that will go to the team with the strongest mental attitude.
Right now, with the experienced, calm, composed and unflustered Lennie Lawrence guiding their every move, City look capable of seeing a tough job to a successful conclusion.
Okay, Wycombe Wanderers and Chesterfield are far from the most dangerous teams in Division Two, but they were brushed aside in a clinical and professional fashion.
Lawrence has plenty of players in form - and plenty of others fit and awaiting their chance to jump in.
It's a far cry from last season when Bluebirds entered the final stages of the season struggling to find a fit 16 players.
This time they have an abundance of talent, cover in all positions and the chance to stake their claim for a place among the Cardiff City teams promoted during a proud history.
Yesterday, Jason Bowen, Leo Fortune-West, Gareth Whalley, Andy Campbell, Fan Zhiyi, James Collins and Steve Jenkins, all fit and ready to play, were not even in the 16.
Goalkeeper Martyn Margetson kept another clean sheet, his second in a row, while the rejuvenated Peter Thorne scored twice, taking his goals tally to five in the last three matches and 15 for the season.
But it was Chris Barker, a young central defender who is strong and brave, who impressed above all others.
He was a rock at the heart of a solid defence, tackling and challenging superbly when Chesterfield threatened with an early burst of energy and enthusiasm.
Barker maintained that level of performance on a day when there were many contenders for the man of the match vote.
The trip to Derbyshire on a sunny Sunday afternoon was the first of three games in six days which will shape how Cardiff City's promotion chase will go.
They travel to Peterborough United on Wednesday and entertain Colchester United next Saturday.
Before kick-off, Lawrence demanded a Cardiff City win. He also said he wanted them to win both halves - and would not be satisfied if they weren't winning by half-time.
The Bluebirds survived a lively Chesterfield start, opened a 2-0 lead by half-time with Kavanagh and Thorne on target and then scored a third after the break to fulfil Lawrence's every wish.
The 1,200-plus supporters who made the trip up the M1 to Chesterfield from south Wales were ecstatic and there is certain to be another huge away following to Peterborough on Wednesday.
Chesterfield started strongly and only a magnificent Gary Croft tackle denied home striker Mark Hudson, while Margetson swooped low to stop a fierce shot from Dave Reeves one-handed.
Skipper Kavanagh then settled City's nerves after 24 minutes when he stepped up after Mahon was pulled down just outside the penalty area.
Former Bluebirds goalkeeper Carl Muggleton, making his first appearance since December after recovering from a broken leg, was left looking on in wonder as Kav curled in the visitors' first goal.
Muggleton clearly thought the shot was going to his left, but Kavanagh whipped it just inside the other post and the 'keeper was left flat footed.
Ten minutes later it was 2-0, Ainsworth producing a run and superb cross which picked out Earnshaw's run.
The header was blocked by Muggleton, but the ball bounced off his legs and Thorne was in quickly to fire the loose ball into the corner.
At 2-0, City were in total command. Chesterfield had started at a furious pace, but they had nothing extra to give by the time it came to trying to stage a comeback.
It was Thorne who finished the scoring when Croft took a quick free-kick.
He picked out Willie Boland's run down the left and the Irishman fired in the ball with the outside of his right foot and Thorne, looking as sharp as he has all season, darted in to turn the waist-high cross into the net from 12 yards.
Lawrence changed the system from 4-4-2 to three centre-backs, sending on Danny Gabbidon for Ainsworth, with 10 minutes left - and then switched back to 4-4-2 when Spencer Prior limped off with hamstring trouble.
But by then it was over as a contest and City had taken a huge stride towards their final goal.

In the last eight years or so I've done several long meditation retreats. Adding up all my time spent in retreat during that time, I think comes to about eleven months. I though it might be interesting to share some of my retreat experiences. Perhaps some of you are thinking about doing a meditation retreat someday in the future and I hope that reading this might inspire you to take action and do it. I can almost guarantee that it will change your life in ways you can't even imagine right now. I guessing that there are even more people reading this that have no intention of ever doing anything like this but are nevertheless curious about it. Maybe you're wondering why someone would drop everything for months at a time and just sit 'staring at the wall' (as I've heard some non-meditators describe it).
I had never even heard of meditation retreats until a friend of mine mentioned that she had gone on a week long silent meditation retreat. My interest was piqued. A week spent in silence. What would that be like? Being kind of the quiet type, I didn't think that not talking for a week would be that hard, but what about having no input – no news, no internet, no video, no phone calls? I remembered reading somewhere that when people isolate themselves for a few days, they can begin to hallucinate. When I read that it made me want to try backpacking out into the wilderness alone for a couple of weeks just to see what happens but it also seemed pretty scary. A meditation retreat seemed comparatively safe but I never made any commitments to doing one. There's a saying that people come to the Dharma when they have suffered enough…
A year or two later an unpleasant and abrupt end came to my five year relationship and I started seeing a therapist to try and sort out what was going on with my life. Six months later, my father died of cancer. I was convinced that I could find a way to be with all this pain and think my way through to a solution. My mind was constantly trying to create new stories and explanations for why things were the way they were and after a while it became clear that I was just going in circles. Even realizing that didn't stop my mind from trying to figure things out.
Around this time, I met another friend who was very encouraging about the idea of doing a meditation retreat. She had done two three month meditation retreats back in the late seventies and early eighties with Jack Kornfield and Joseph Goldstein. Wow – three months – now we're (not) talking!

I also don't understand why some reads are not assigned. One example can be broken down to one hit like query1 gi|998520486|ref|XP_015521226.1|tax|441921| 100.000 8 0 0 1 8 92 99 57 31.2
query1 gi|998520486|ref|XP_015521226.1|tax|441921| 100.000 8 0 0 1 8 92 99 57 31.2
I expected that the read was assigned to Neodiprion lecontei, as the taxid is correctly interpreted my MEGAN. However, the read is not assigned. Min Score is set to 1, Max Expected to 1000, Min Support Percent to 0 (off), Min Support to 1. (Actually, the read has many more hits.) Am I missing something? Thanks for any suggestions.
Daniel replied to my question:
The taxon is present in the taxonomy. What is minSupport and minSupportPercent set to? Try setting minSupport=1 and minSupportPercent=0
Setting minSupportPercent to 0 worked for me: The Min Support Percent item is used to set a threshold for the minimum support that a taxon requires, as a percentage of assigned reads. This feature is turned off by setting the value to 0.
Thanks, minSupport and minSupportPercent were set as you suggested (see my message). Might be that it's something obvious that I'm doing wrong, but I just can't find the reason. If you like, you can try to load the one hit (a one-line blast file) from my message into MEGAN.
I tried your hit - and it gives me the same result as you - into Not assigned - not sure why (I'm new to MEGAN)
