I worked at The Children's Place full-time for more than a year
Pros – The majority of the people who work for the company are smart, talented people. Benefits are fantastic compared to other retailers at the corporate level. Workload is fair and manageable most of the time.
Cons – The politics here are terrible. Upper management is similar to a high school clique...seems as if many talented executives have been hired and quickly fired, to the point where sometimes they aren't there long enough to even attempt to make a difference. The amount of micromanagement is un-believeable. Being at a mid-senior level at the company is almost impossible...your boss is 'scared' to make any decisions, which makes you unable to properly give direction to your staff, which is incredibly frustrating. There is way too much time wasted waiting for approvals, feedback, cross-functional agreement, etc. due to the politics. Depends on the 'mood' of the decision maker that day. The turnover here is higher than I have seen at any other company, which is very unfortunate.
Advice to Senior Management – Start utilizing your teams, and stop micromanaging all aspects of the business. Stop playing favorites, it is incredibly unprofessional.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Etsy's Most Popular Shops
By Jean Godfrey-June, Lucky magazine
There are two sides to Etsy's clothing stores: the ones that sell the little parts (beads, trim, fabric) and the ones that sell the finished products (handbags, dresses, shoes).
According to CraftCount.com, the former's way more popular. Looking at their list of Etsy's top ten most visited stores, it's hard to find one that isn't a bead store. But even if Etsy's main draw is do-it-yourself supplies, the site's other dimension shouldn't be overlooked.
Below, we combed the list of Etsy's top 100 most visited shops for our favorite pieces, none of which require any sort of assembly whatsoever. From the self-made (cheeky screenprinted tees) to the salvaged ('50s dresses), there's something in there for everyone. Except the crafter. She might have to look somewhere else. Like, say, Etsy.

We Can Stop Solitary
Across the country, states are waking up to the fact that we must address our overreliance on solitary confinement. Long-term isolation costs too much, does nothing to rehabilitate prisoners, and exacerbates mental illness - or even causes it in prisoners who were healthy when they entered solitary. Officials in some states that formerly relied heavily on solitary confinement are now realizing that they should use public resources on proven policies that promote safe communities and fair treatment, and are successfully reducing the use of solitary - at the same time saving their states millions and reducing violence in the prisons. It's time for more states, and the federal Bureau of Prisons, to follow suit.
Stories from Solitary
These are the real stories of real people who have been affected by solitary confinement. We hope that exposing the often-hidden realities of solitary to public view will encourage questions and increased opposition to it. See all stories »
Growing up Locked Down
Every day, in jails and prisons across the United States, young people under the age of 18 are held in solitary confinement. A new report from the ACLU and Human Rights Watch is based on interviews and correspondence with more than 125 young people who spent time in solitary confinement while under age 18 as well as with jail and/or prison officials in 10 states. Learn More »
Alone and Afraid
For children, who are still developing and more vulnerable to irreparable harm, the risks of solitary confinement are magnified – particularly for kids with disabilities or histories of trauma and abuse. While isolated, children are regularly deprived of the services, programming, and other tools that they need for healthy growth, education, and development. Alone and Afraid: Children Held in Solitary Confinement and Isolation in Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facilities makes the case that we should be helping kids to grow into productive and healthy adults, not harming them, and provides some solutions to the problem of juvenile solitary confinement.

this is already out for android its a good app. shame can not use on games but why would you wnt to play games with your phone lol.
It is so funny to read the haters with limited creativity and vision saying that is pointless or useless. Well, be narrow minded and limit yourself. At the end is free and optional.
Borderlands map/inventory comes 2 mind for a start. Skyrim and other RPG's would all bennefit. Other genres I see no use at this time. Trust in the developers and we will plenty of neat but ultimately useless apps.
I think that this could be a cool gimmick. If game designers can implement it in an intelligent way it could take off. A big "if" though, Microsoft needs to make it easy for game developers if they want it to take off. I think the GPS implementation is cool though and if an RPG used it for inventory or stats or something like that, I would be even more interested. I do not own a tablet yet, but WIndows 8 might be a reason for me to get one now.
Clearly Microsoft is trying to steal thunder from Wii-U, but aint a great gimmick either, paying to see videos and bios of your favorite stars on your tablet? just need to google them on youtube and wikipedia, so WTF !?!?!
I don't imagine it can do much more than a WiiU, except make you despise XBox even more because they tried to cash in on Nintendo's poorly-implemented idea. And still tablets are giving that knowing, jaundiced look at both of them and not feeling any pressure.
Can see it being ok for rpgs but not driving games. After you show your playstation buddies what it can do you'll never use it again
ATM the best way to use smartglass IMO, is to type by using your mobile.
Its completely impractical on games, momentarily, maybe a game dev like Kojima will think smth very fancy with it in the future, but at the moment, the best feature remains the typing on your touchscreen, if you did not invested on a wireless mini keyboard already.
As i never had such intention and the need only appeared lately with the internet browser on the 360.
But i see no reason to invest on a windows tablet 8, just for such a gimmick...
could do this with any smartphone, seems entirely pointless and gimmicky
This seems pretty interesting; let us hope they do this for Playstation 3.
Does it require xbox live gold with forza horizon ???coz the map didnt apperar on my android !!
This app is pretty cool... but android tablets not supported!!! I did manage to sideload tha apk and install it on my galaxy tab 2 and it works great. Just a few suggestions though, as far as navigating the dashboard it would be much better if you actually had a replica of the dashboard on your phone/tablet instead of just a blank screen with y,b,and x buttons. This way you would actually be navingating the dashboard on your device and could just tap a tile. I really dont think I will use this to navigate my xbox anyways, I think the core appeal is its support for games, such as bringing up the in game map, or other in game menus.
it looks interesting enough to warrant the 5 second download on my phone and play with it for 5 minutes. they said it's still only for win8, but is the one on google play official?
Its pointless but its really cool...............
How are you supposed to use it whilst driving if there aren't 2 of you?
What a bunch of moaners, this thing is free and optional??
Only practical use for this i can see, is during down time usually wasted doing a line/skinning up, you can now also study to map in great detail!
What next?
An "interactive" oven on the tablet for cod, so you can watch your chicken roast while you "merc" (is that still what you guyz do?:P) people in the face!
The refresh rate on the tablet looks horrible...which makes it impractical for anything other than viewing a map....which of course makes it a redundant feature.
Some thoughts:
OK cool technology, but to what end.
I don't see the utility of this. You're playing the game (with both hands) and using the tablet with which hands? Man I hope there's not a plan to make the tablet the controller. If I wanted to play a game swiping and tilting with limited (though constantly improving) resposiveness I can spend $5 buck on an app or jump into a Kinect only game.
I see this as a ulility for the first thing demonstrated in this video and that's the entertainment functions which, if it continues down the wrong path, even further pulls the XBOX away from the gamers. PLEASE Microsoft remember who's currently printing money for you!
I don't get the point of this, how can you drive around and do things on the smartglass at the same time? you cant, so press start and view this on the the TV.
totally unnecessary
10m16s - Forza. "This way.."(using a tablet for mini map) "... you never need to look away from the screen..."
What exactly are you doing when you're looking at your tablet then ? ? ! !
Wait a minute...you'd be looking away at another screen.....just like pausing the game and bring up a map........who'd have thunk it ?
Do not be a SmartAss about SmartGlass! Ha.
These guys are a fucking joke!! I mean seriously grab someone who has actual knowledge rather than these two morons. 1. They pronounced LMFAO as an actually word. 2. This dumbass likes Skrillex........ (Face palm) 3. Imbecile has no awareness of what an incredible machine a Nissan GT-R is with this sarcastic comment, "who drives a Nissan?". Seriously, I would be blessed to have been able to own or just driven that car one day. Just a terrible review outrageously terrible!!! - Besides that I think the new smart glass feature would be a lot better torwards an rpg based game. Although, I am interested in how it would work with the upcoming title Halo4.
I do not see any practical "usable" use for this thing.
Junk review for a junk product (Zzzzzzzzzz). C'mon Microsoft, stop screwing around and start showing your next console.
Terrible ripoff of the Wii-U/DS/3DS dual-screen concepts. This is a f*cking joke, guys.
Am I the only person left who buys consoles to play GAMES and not all these worthless gimmicks and apps they keep cluttering up the X360 with?
terrible review.
@sabhya2 most likely since almost everything requires it
iT IS OFFICIAL, but only partially supported there.
Some devices dont support it at all and some only do it partially, but the full features are only supported by windows 8 tablets.
@baq99 exactly lol
The refresh rate is due to the different networks, it works much smoother over one network. But don't take my word for it, its free so go check it out.
I use my Xbox for games and movies. A while ago I also saw a sheet that showed that most console owners use their console 60% of the time for things other then games. Which makes sense because the X360/PS3 is a powerful console so it can function as your dvd/blu-ray player, music station or full-on entertainment hub.
No doubt the next versions will offer more software abilities when it comes to movies and music. The hardware is already there, there is no reason not to add so many features. Xbox has already become Microsoft's entertainment brand. Xbox services such as Movies and Music are also available on PCs, tablets and phones.
Xbox music is done by the team behind Zune, Netflix is rumored to become Microsoft's movie team so Microsoft isn't taking away attention from games by adding these services. You're only getting more for the same price.
@thequickshooter WiiU.
@InsidiousLime I think you may be taking things a tad too seriously. And you sound angry. I'd suggest getting a puppy; that'll cheer you up.
@orthodox1976 Indeed. Don't like, don't buy/download. Just like me
@shadowhunter0 CAN nayone please confirm ??
@DSkinMasque @thequickshooter Do you even know what a Wii U is?
@DSkinMasque unnecessary too
the Gimmick is totally useless even if it expands the controller to more controls
it's the same bullshit as motion controls- it's useless, Uncomfortable and stupid (same goes for kinect, ps move is so-so but still less enjoyable then a gamepad)
nintendo's wii U it's just a cash grab in order to cover losses
but they think they can rich from casual gaming
but there is already the 3DS (and kids don't like stationary console, they like on the go console)
and to tell the truth it's stupid to buy a "next gen console" if it's the same as this gen's games and graphics capability
@InquisitorCrox @shadowhunter0 but some android users reported it worked..i think
I have gold and still not working.
So after research i realised that having paid the 360, monthly fee for Gold, the Premioum prize for a brand new Horizon and a nexus 7, it still wont work...
Smartglass works with my android phone though, but again in vain.
The only option to get the GPS function is by having a Windows 8 tablet.
So you need an extra investement, same goes for streaming media.
So its kind of a gimmick respond to the new tabler/controller Nintento will bring into game with WiiU.
I do believe that it works with a windows 8 PC, but i really dont see the reason to use it there...
@sinn_exit @xgalacticax @DSkinMasque *sees comment*
really? i don't then explain it to me mr. genius
@thequickshooter @xgalacticax @DSkinMasque Clearly he has no idea what Wii U is all about.
@ji99saw @xgalacticax @DSkinMasque yeah,
and judging by your nickname you are what 12? 14?
@xgalacticax @DSkinMasque @thequickshooter Do You? lol
@xgalacticax @DSkinMasque it's a console of course not just the huge controller that look like an ipad with joysticks
and probably more then you do
@sinn_exit @DSkinMasque someone's mad... (look fanboy your shitty wiiU sucks ass)
and so does your comment
@thequickshooter @DSkinMasque it's stupid to have a rant about you think is stupid and useless. If you don't like it then don't click on the article

This year they will be tiger bait, and all the other teams will get their revenge.......it wont be too pretty for AU fans I don't care what they say.
Boy, there's one storyline that's already getting old when it comes to the 2011 SEC season. As ESPN put it today: "Historic lack of respect for Auburn in polls."
Chris Low does a great job and he's certainly not alone in suggesting AU is getting cold-shouldered by pollsters — you can bet Gene Chizik and his aides are making that point to their players, too — but unfortunately that argument just isn't true.
Sure, Auburn's #23 ranking in the AP poll marks the first time in 20 years that a defending national champion hasn't started the following season in the Top 10. The horror.
But let's look at the facts:
1. You'd be hard-pressed to find another national titlist in that span whose success was so much attributable to one great player. We're not saying Cam Newton was the whole Auburn team, but how many of those close games would the Tigers have won last year without him? For the record, seven of AU's 14 wins were by determined by eight points or less.
2. Newton isn't around this year and the top two guys on the quarterback depth chart aren't dual-threat guys like Newton (who actually led the SEC in rushing last season). That's really going to change the way Gus Malzahn calls plays.
3. The Tigers also lost Nick Fairley, their most disruptive, dominant player on the defensive side of the ball.
4. And Auburn lost 16 starters total from last year's squad. Those 16 slots will be filled — in most cases — by players who have little experience or by true freshmen who have none.
5. Finally, AU's schedule this season is much tougher than it was a year ago with road trips planned for Clemson, South Carolina, Arkansas, LSU and Georgia. Toss in Mississippi State, Florida and Alabama for good measure at home.
Put Newton or Fairley of half of those lost starters back on Auburn's squad and they would likely be smack dab in the Top 10. Flip-flop this year's schedule for last year's and the Tigers would likely be getting more love from the voters, too.
But as it stands, there haven't been many national champions in the last 20 years that have been so unproven going into the following season.
And let's not forget that Texas' precipitous fall from grace last season (from the BCS championship game to 5-7) is still fresh on pollsters' minds as well. They now know that the logo on the helmet doesn't always offset the departure of a gaggle of stars.
We at MrSEC.com expect Auburn coaches, players and fans to talk about how the Plainsmen are being disrespected. By year's end, they may be proven right.
But in August, looking at that schedule and all the uncertainty in that Tigers' line-up, AU's preseason ranking isn't a story of disrespect. It's the story of playing the odds. And no one should have to apologize for simply playing the odds.

After my recent loss, in a bid to become San Miguel County Commissioner, several people have approached to console me. There is no need to do that. While I did not achieve my goal, the campaign has been a very positive experience for me.
Conversing with a diverse cross-section of people has been a fantastic educational opportunity and meeting my neighbors across the county has made me feel an even closer connection to this place that I call home. Hopefully the spirited debate created by my campaign will increase public awareness of important issues and this will manifest itself into much needed change.
I am truly humbled by the trust that so many people placed in me. The kind words of my supporters, to me and about me, have truly warmed my heart and for these actions I will always be grateful. To those who supported me and to those who showed kindness in spite of their opposition to me, I sincerely say, "Thank you"

Thompson Square will serve as guest celebrities on this year's Santa Train9:00 am | October 3, 2012
Award-winning country music duo Keifer and Shawna Thompson of Thompson Square will return to the Santa Train Nov. 17 as this year's celebrity guests.
"We are extremely honored to be asked to ride the Santa Train again for the second straight year," said Shawna Thompson. "Last year brought many new opportunities for Keifer and me, but interacting with the families along the route and sharing a piece of Christmas with the children is a memory we will never forget."
"We fell in love with the region and with the people," continued Keifer on the duo's decision to return for the Santa Train's 70th anniversary run. "We've been so fortunate over the last couple of years that we wanted to return to Appalachia again this year to help give back."
Thompson Square is continuing to make its mark as one of country music's hottest breakthrough acts, as the husband-and-wife duo won "Vocal Duo of the Year" from the Academy of Country Music in April, becoming the first new country music act to break through and win the award in 20 years.
"Thompson Square is one of the most talented up-and-coming duos in country music," said Tori Kaplan, CSX director of corporate citizenship and special events. "They were a huge hit last year, and we can't wait to have them back on the Santa Train."
The group was recently nominated by the Country Music Association for Vocal Duo of the Year and New Artist of the Year awards, to be announced at the 46th Annual CMA Awards Nov. 1.
Now in its 70th year, the Santa Train runs along a 110-mile route through Appalachia, making 14 stops in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. The Santa Train is sponsored by CSX, Dignity U Wear, Food City and the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce.
The Santa Train begins its journey in Pikeville, Ky., and rolls to a final stop in Kingsport. Thompson Square, Santa Claus and dozens of volunteers will distribute gifts to families from the surrounding areas at each of the 14 stops.

The Sara Shallenberger Brown GCA National Parks Conservation Scholarship
Purpose: to encourage students to pursue careers in conservation by providing hands-on field training experience protecting the treasured resources of America's national parks. The scholarship will allow the Student Conservation Association to expand its apprentice crew leader program into America's National Parks.
History: Established in 2010, the scholarship is a tribute to the late Sara "Sally" Shallenberger Brown. It was launched in 2011 to showcase Mrs. Brown's dedication to the environment and ensure that her legacy will continue in perpetuity. A member of the Glenview Garden Club of Louisville, Kentucky since 1939, Sally Brown gave many years of active and influential service to environmental issues and conservation organizations on a local, national, and global level. The establishment of the scholarship both commemorated Sally's 100th birthday and honored the centennial of the National Park Service.
The Brown scholarship was established in partnership with the Student Conservation Association, which was itself founded by Elizabeth "Liz" Putnam, a member of the Bennington Garden Club of Bennington, Vermont. For more about the Student Conservation Association, click here.
Provisions: Annually provides training, transportation and a $750 stipend for each student as an SCA apprentice crew leader working directly under two experienced leaders on a three-week, summer trail crew in one of America's storied national parks. The scholarship's founders hope that students will build on their enhanced technical and interpersonal skills and become full-fledged crew leaders or pursue related careers in environmental education or outdoor leadership training.
Eligibility: Open to college undergraduates aged 19 to 20, with preference given to those with prior SCA experience.
To Apply: Applications are accepted by email only and must be received by February 23. For an application and instructions, click here. PLEASE NOTE: ONLY ONE GCA SCHOLARSHIP, FELLOWSHIP OR AWARD MAY BE APPLIED FOR ANNUALLY.
Selection: Selection is by the Student Conservation Association in conjunction with the Garden Club of America Scholarship Committee.
Fund: The Sara Shallenberger Brown GCA National Parks Conservation Scholarship is managed by the Garden Club of America and administered by the Student Conservation Association.

Experts suggest that planners be ever-mindful of legal issues when meeting outside of the U.S. Sourcing, booking, and contracting for space in other countries, particularly in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, can be quite different than here. Of course, other countries aren't nearly as litigious as Americans, so that's a plus.
Here are some areas to pay particular attention to, especially as they relate to working with a non-U.S.-based hotel.
In Europe
Negotiation Style: The style of contract negotiations differs from what Americans are used to. While you'll find some items are less negotiable than in the States, you'll discover that others might actually be more flexible. For example, according to Jort Wassenaar, chair of the Professional Convention Management Association's International Task Force and director, business to business, of the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions, cancellation causes can be "more negotiable than in the U.S. and the clauses are more flexible. In Europe, they want to have a constant dialogue with their clients," he says, suggesting planners "pick up the phone and call their hotel salesperson. You will see that you will build a far better rapport with them through a phone conversation than through an e-mail. A good rapport is as important as a contract."
Holding Space: Still, getting the details in writing is crucial. Before you even get to the contract stage, you'll likely run into "options." "First option means you have first right of refusal," says Carolyn Zusi, regional director for HelmsBriscoe, based in Woodlands, Texas. "You'll have to confirm that they are holding the space for you and when the option is up. Second option means someone else is currently holding the space before you and their option date is not yet due." She adds that it's especially important to make sure the guest rooms and meeting rooms are on the same option or you might find yourself able to book one but not the other.
Language: Expect the language of the contract to be in English, widely accepted in Europe as the international business language. Even in English, though, there can be differences in terminology; for example, a U.S. breakout room is a European syndicate room, while our general session is a plenary. Be sure everyone agrees on definitions of terms.
Daily Delegate Package: This is a common way of packaging meeting space with hotel accommodations and food and beverage. The details may vary so confirm whether breakfast, coffee breaks, taxes, and gratuities are included and what exactly is included within each of those categories. However, Wassenaar notes that such items are not typically packaged for groups of more than 100.
Meeting Room Rentals: If not packaged as part of a daily delegate rate, meeting rooms will need to be paid for separately. Such rental fees typically include room set-up, furniture, and room changes. Even with a daily delegate rate, Zusi points out that if the amount of space that the group needs is considered above the norm, additional charges might be incurred for the meeting rooms.
Deposit Schedules: Unlike in the U.S., most European hotels will require full payment before the date of the meeting. "Try to negotiate to settle the last day," says Zusi. "If you've paid everything before you walk in the door, you have no bargaining power once you're on site."
Comp Policies: While comp policies are not the norm, Zusi notes that they are negotiable and "it depends on how much the hotel wants your business." She adds that the approach is similar to upgrades and other amenities: "The hotel might not budge," she says, "but you definitely won't get it if you don't ask."
Guarantees: Guarantees are typically due in Europe far earlier than here, as much as three or four weeks in advance of an event.
Attrition: "The word literally doesn't exist in some countries in Europe," says Zusi. Still, the concept does. "It's normally called 'room block reduction,' and generally falls into the hotel's cancellation clause." Wassenaar notes that this is one area where Europeans tend to be more flexible than Americans and willing to negotiate. Also within the cancellation clause, be sure there's a force majeure addition, which allows the meeting to be cancelled without penalty in the event of certain occurrences outside of your control, such acts of war, terrorism, weather, labor strikes, and so on.
In Latin America
Negotiation Style: One of the ways that rapport can help is in the execution of the contract. "Contracts in Latin America tend to be more about the spirit of the contract rather than the letter of the contract," says Eli Gorin, CMP, owner of gMeetings, Aventura, Fla. "If you've built a relationship, they'll go out of their way to make sure to provide you with whatever it takes to make the meeting successful, instead of being determined to give you exactly what the contract says. They're not about the fine print and are not as legally oriented as we are."
Language: On the negative side, that flexibility with language can also extend to timelines. "'Give me a minute' means an hour," laughs Gorin, "and, 'Give me five minutes,' loosely translated, means they'll get back to you eventually."
General Contracts
Never Assume: As noted earlier, meeting space is not complimentary for a meeting with a large sleeping room block in Europe. Similarly, assumptions about breakfast menus in Europe do not apply to a Mexican meeting. The only way for the facility and the planner to make sure they agree on the details is to put it in writing.
Governing Issues: A meeting contract should also include a governing language, choice of currency, and governing law for dispute resolution. Each of these points is essential to avoid differences between the meeting host's home country and the meeting location.
Designating a governing language averts disputes when different language versions of a contract conflict because of the translation.
Choosing an official currency protects the parties against value fluctuations that can affect meeting pricing.
And the governing law for resolving disputes is also very important. Depending on the country, the court system may be very efficient or very slow. Without an agreement on which country's laws will apply in the event of a dispute, both sides will try to resolve the matter in their courts. This can cause confusion and delay, and will likely make it more difficult to put the matter to rest.
Accommodating Disabilities: Americans expect meetings to follow the rules of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), but the rules of other countries on this matter — if there are any — will likely differ. The dilemma is that persons requiring special accommodations will likely expect the meeting host to follow their home country's rules, regardless of the meeting location, so it is essential for a meeting organizer to provide by contract for whatever facilities and equipment are needed for disabled persons.
Data Protection: Particularly with corporate gatherings, information is exchanged among attendees, such as customer lists, marketing strategies, and business data. This information could harm the sponsoring organization if it is distributed to unauthorized persons or lost. A meeting planner should avoid locations where valuable information cannot be protected. This means skipping hotels with poor security records, and even whole countries if they lack laws to protect a meeting sponsor's property. •

The outdoor warning sirens in rural parts of Webster County are out of service so that their radio receivers can be reprogrammed, according to Tony Jorgensen, the county's emergency management coordinator.
Jorgensen said the reprogramming is necessary to comply with a federal requirement. The sirens will be back in service by early December.
The sirens in Fort Dodge and the other cities in Webster County remain in service.

Black is always the base of my creative palette.
"Black" symbolizes the Avant-Garde and has a deep spiritual and noble meaning for me.It represents the crazy chaotic darkness hidden in the shadows away from the light.
The Fetishism secreted in the Underground.The aggressive darkness of nocturnal street culture.It is the total colour of complete and utter grief and redemption through atonement.

Julius Spring Summer 2014 Details
The shoes… oh the shoes…
I declined to comment on this aspect of the collection earlier today as I was unable to really see the footwear in the photos initially posted. I'm happy to say these boots do not disappoint.
Tatsuro comes through strong this season with a striking array of shoes and boots. The usual chunky soled combats make an appearance but with a very unique twist. Not only do they feature a back zip but a zipper running parallel to the laces that would seem to offer a lot of variation in styling the boot.
My personal favorite of the collection has to be the lace up boots with the simple back zip. The abundance of laces creates a beautiful layering across the face of the shoe.These are so far my grail from from the collection.
The only photos I could find of the peep toe boots were quite blurry but those as well look like classic Julius boots with the toe cut off. An interesting design indeed.
Finally we come to the complex boot - runner hybrid piece. I'm not even sure how to classify these shoes in terms of the shape and elements involved. They seem more relaxed and likely easier to wear than a majority of the shoes from this collection but they are hardly an understated piece. Again magnificent.
Last but not least we have the accessories featured through the collection which I as well did not comment on earlier. Again because of the lack of clear shots of them but going through the detail photos I can see a lot of gorgeous leather pieces. My favorite thus far being what appears to be a series of stacked leather circles creating a layered bracelet. I'd be interested in finding out if they are individual pieces or actually adhered together in some way.
I'm glad to see the detail shots made it out so quickly so I can finitely say that this collection in it's entirety is fantastic.
What a great start to Paris Fashion Week.
Julius Spring Summer 2014
It is finally here and it is fantastic.
Again this season Julius continues the shift towards the softer side of things. Going back to the days of soft materials and forms Tatsuro conjures a very Rick Owens vibe with a lot of this collection.
Not to say the collection is overly similar to one Rick would release as Tatsuro has clearly designed this from the ground up. This season we see a return of the distorted prints but with a twist. It seems they are using a different technique this time through as the colors are presented in much larger areas. I quite like the subtle usage of such a loud pattern in the tights as shown in the photo above. Just something small and eye catching to offset the otherwise unassuming outfit.
One thing I can't really comment on is the shoes. From what I've seen they look like what I've come to expect from Julius but I will need to see more photos first. The peep toe sandals are certainly of interest as the heat overtakes the summer.
As expected the collection is rife with the Julius staples that keep me coming back. From the leathers to the cargos it's all represented piece by piece in the runway. As well Tatsuro has brought some new designs to this collection with the boxy shirts and shorts. These parts of the collection carry that softness one would see in ma_julius seemingly bridging the gaps between the two collections.
There are a lot of good ideas going on here as the curation of Julius continues. I can see many elements from previous collections being improved upon as well as new bits and pieces being introduced to push the envelope. I can't ask for much more from a brand but to stay true to itself and improve upon what it's built. Tatsuro seems to agree…

Black Seed absolutly great for your Health!

Important news regarding Black seed. I hope u find it interesting!
At last, there is a natural, steroid-free solution to the worldwide asthma epidemic that affects over 300 million people and leads to over 250,000 deaths every year.
Asthma is thought to be caused by a number of environmental and genetic factors and is heavily influenced by the immune system. New research has shown that the oil of a tiny black seed from Western Asia may be the key to both the prevention and treatment of immune-related Asthma.
The Black Seed (Nigella sativa) oil contains over 100 known health-promoting properties including a wide range of the most potent antioxidants, B vitamins, 15 amino-acids, essential fatty acids, and an array of vital organic minerals. However, researchers believe that it is a substance called 'nigellone' that may be the real hero as it protects sufferers from histamine-induced bronchial spasms and significantly relieves the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and general coughing.
Twenty-nine asthmatic adults were randomly divided into a control group (14 patients) and treatment group (15 patients), and monitored for 3 months.Asthma symptom score, asthma severity, frequency of symptoms/week and wheezing were recorded on the first visit, then again after 45 days and finally, at the end of the study. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were also measured, and the drug regimen of the patients was evaluated at three different visits.
The researchers found that all asthma symptoms, frequency of asthma symptoms/week, chest wheezing, and PFT values in the treatment group significantly improved in the second and third visits compared with the first visit. In addition, further improvement of chest wheezing and severity of disease on the third visit were observed compared with the second visit in this group. Most significantly, by the the third visit (90 days) all symptoms in the treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group.
In addition, the researchers observed that the usage of inhaler and oral ß-agonists, oral corticosteroid, oral theophylline and even inhaler corticosteroid by those patients in the treatment group decreased by the end of the study while there were no obvious changes in usage of the drugs in control patients.
The researchers condlue that the results of the study indicate that Nigella Sativa Oil both alleviates and prevents asthma symptoms and warrant further research. For more information on Nigella Sativa visit: Sweet Sunnah Black Seed Herbals, Inc.

The black seed (nigella sativa) is well known in the Islamic tradition to be a cure for disease. From the statements of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) are that, "The black seed is a cure for every disease". Much research has been done and is under way to investigate and substantiate the health benefits and anti-disease activity of the black seed (nigella sativa).
Flax seeds contain large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for good all round health (as well as brainpower). This porridge is great as a dietary regulator, helping to keep your digestive system in good order.
You can start your day with a couple of glasses of water followed by this porridge around half an hour later. It tastes delicious too when you add some honey to it. This recipe makes porridge for one serving
3 tbsp of oat flakes
1 tspn of honey
2 tbsp of flax seeds ground in a coffee grinder
Half a tspn of black seed oil (nigella sativa)
250 ml water
In a pan, place the oat flakes and water and steadily bring to a boil. Meanwhile grind the flax seeds in a coffee grinder. You should always grind flax seeds at the point of using them in the recipe, since once they are ground, they start to lose their goodness after 10-15 minutes.
Add the ground flax seeds into the pan, mix thoroughly, and then bring to a boil again. After this leave the porridge to stand off the heat for 8-10 minutes.
Add the black seed oil and the honey to the porridge when serving. If you want, you can add some blueberries and strawberries at the end.
It is so simple to make and extremely good for you.

Avoid cheap Black Seed

The health benefits of blackseed oil may be numerous, but cheap nigella sativa oil is probably a waste of money. Nigella sativa is the botanical name for the spice that has been used since ancient times to flavor food and for medicinal purposes.
Its common names are many, including black cumin seed, kolonji, kezah, chamushka, corek otu, seeds of blessing, fennel flower, black caraway, black onion seed and others, indicating its widespread use throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. According to the book of prophetic medicine, we should "hold onto the use of the black seeds for in it is healing for all diseases except death."
Researchers have evaluated the benefits of blackseed oil in the treatment of many medical conditions, including cancer, arthritis, diabetes, liver damage, parasitic infections, bacterial infections, viral infections, asthma and other respiratory illnesses. It was used historically as a pain reliever and modern research has supported this use, though the mechanism of action is unclear.
It is understandable that people would look for cheap nigella sativa oil, since the seeds are valuable and fetch a good price on the market. The problem with purchasing cheap nigella sativa oil is that the average person has no way of knowing what he is getting. Even as a food flavoring, cheap nigella sativa oil can be disappointing. If used as a health supplement, it could be a waste of money or even dangerous, particularly if a person is relying on the oil for the treatment or prevention of a disease.
Genuine nigella sativa is cultivated in France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, northern Africa, India and other parts of Asia. It grows wild on the Mediterranean coast in Egypt and in some parts of Turkey and the Balkans. Mainly because of the many health benefits of blackseed oil, it is a valuable commodity and not found in discount stores.
Cheap nigella sativa oil may contain additives including common vegetable or olive oils. They can be made from other species of Nigella, some of which are poisonous. The seeds are similar looking to onion seed and black sesame. Even black cumin seed, which is one of the common Nigella names, is actually a different spice. Because of the many common names, some of which are shared by other spices, it is important to look for the botanical name, "Nigella sativa" and buy from a trustworthy manufacturer that specializes in health supplements.

Footprint Network Blog - Footprint for Finance
The Financial Risks of Ecological Limits
Some of the economic implications of resource constraints were introduced to the world of international finance this week in London, when Global Footprint Network and the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), in collaboration with leading financial institutions, launched the E-RISC (Environmental Risk Integration in Sovereign Credit) report at Bloomberg, a leader in global financial data.
The interactive event drew over 150 participants, including representatives from leading financial institutions, investors, asset management firms and rating agencies, including Caisse des Depots, SNS Asset Management, Standard & Poor's, J.P. Morgan, KfW Bankengruppe, Deutsche Bank, HSBC and Barclays.
To date, tightening resource constraints and their impacts on national economies have been largely absent from financial analyses. The E-RISC report fills this gap by exploring to what extent resource and ecological risks can impact a nation's economy and how these factors affect a nation's ability to pay its debts.

Global Footprint Network Supports the Natural Capital Declaration
Global Footprint Network supports the Natural Capital Declaration, a commitment made by CEOs from the finance sector to integrate natural capital accounting into their financial products and services.
Global Footprint Network is committed to creating a world where everyone can live well within the means of one planet. It is going to take all of us pulling together toward this common goal. We recognize the need to push the frontiers beyond business-as-usual and to explore more integrated approaches to finance. As financial institutions are an integral part of the economy and society, initiatives like the Natural Capital Declaration are important to help lead the way.

The Ecological Footprint at Rio+20
As people move on from the suspense, excitement, and sometimes disappointment that was Rio+20, at least one thing is clear to us—the Ecological Footprint is more important than ever in a world where international cooperation on sustainable development has not delivered everything the world hoped it would.

You can't deny the imagery that Kix Brooks and co-writer Leslie Satcher paint with the lyrics of "Moonshine Road," the latest single from Kix's New To This Town album.
The setting is one straight out of Kix's own personal history. Kix says, "I grew up with a boathouse in my backyard on this lake in Louisiana called Lake Bistineau and there was this place around the lake from us called Green Park Camp. And, my father, my poor father [laughs], used to beg me and my college buddies when wed be loading up the truck not to go to Green Park because either wed come back with a bunch of crazy girls or wed be all beat to hell. It was always action oriented."
He continues, "We went back and forth so many times, and most kids did this growing up especially if the moon was out, we would always turn the headlights out and cruise home with no lights on and wed just finally referred to this stretch of road as "Moonshine Road.'"
Sit back, turn the lights down and take a spin down "Moonshine Road:"
View All Music Videos
Without the aid of a video, "Moonshine Road" is a place you can see just based on the descriptions used in the song, and with a tune that visual, Kix usually bypasses the video making process but fate had other things in mind. Kix explains, "I have avoided videos in the past. In fact, I encouraged that we did not do a video of Neon Moon just because it was such a visual song because a lot times when youre doing a video especially if youre doing a literal type video you sort of take those images away from the listener."
All it took to change Kix's tune was one boat ride. Kix shares, "I honestly wasnt planning on doing a video and then I was down scouting for a movie on my farm in Louisiana and got in my old john boat and was out puttering around the Cypress trees and I had Moonshine Road on my telephone and I was just kind of listening and I started singing it. I had my camera with me, so I just set it up on the front of the boat and started shooting some things. I was looking at the footage while I was out there and I go, Wow, this looks pretty cool." The next thing you know, Kix and his film buddies started adding more pieces to the puzzle with additional footage shot in Phoenix and Tennessee. He says, "Its sort of a home movie. We just kept throwing the pieces together until we got something we liked."
As for the autobiographical nature of "Moonshine Road," Kix admits, "I think this song probably identifies where I came from as much as any song Ive probably ever written, maybe Red Dirt Road [is an exception]. But this song really reminds me of a lot of crazy nights and of course being in Louisiana and playing clubs all the time, there were plenty of crazy nights to be had. Im not sure if one went exactly like this but there were quite a few that were pretty close that I could call on.
