Design in clothing is one thing, but creating a written, living record of developments in the world of fashion, both past and present, is quite another. Whilst chic may by definition be about the here and now, that does not mean it doesn't have a history. Sometimes by knowing more about what went before we are able to achieve a better understanding of what makes fashion work, now and in the future.
I want to shine a light on what is happening today, but also I want to capture a historical perspective. My objective is to embrace the paradox that is a constant which is forever changing. Or to put it more simply, the historical concept of trend which consistently throws up new and original ideas in the design and manufacture of the things we like to wear.
Whether we follow the fashions of today or not many of us will have a favourite period, or even a preference for a particular item of apparel which may once have defined the age but which has since gone out of vogue. This blog will feature trends in dress from every conceivable angle, from the theory to the practice, and from long-passed history to the present. That is why I would truly value input from other contributors.
What You Can Do To Help
You can help me, and help yourself at the same time. With some 2,500 visitors weekly, your contribution can include a very handy backlink to your own website or blog, guaranteeing you not only visitors, but visitors with an interest in your own niche and the search engine recognition that comes with a link from a site with authority.
Meanwhile I gain from your useful article on a topic which is of interest to my readers. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement from which both of us win. If you think you might be interested please contact me and we'll discuss it further.
What are the Specifications?
Articles should ideally be between 500 and 800 words long, and laid out in a similar style to the rest of this website and on the relevant topic. If you want me to acknowledge your authorship then that would be fine by me; if not then it would be perfectly okay to have it published anonymously.
Although your article needs to bear some close relation to the topic of fashion, it is perfectly fine for you to approach the subject from more or less any angle. I welcome diversity as it keeps the blog looking fresh and inspired, and the reader interested.
Some of the topics that you may wish to cover could include:
- Fashion Between the Wars
- The Baby Boomers
- Whatever Became of Flowers and Flares?
- Style in the Modern Age – How Has Fashion Changed Over the Last Decade?
- Trendsetting on a Budget
- Pop Idols Who Defined the Age
- Fashion in Film
- US or UK – Who Leads the Way?

Purified high fat diets used to induce obesity and obesity-related complications such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome typically have 40-60% of energy derived from fat. The diet tables below summarize relevant diet features for several Teklad custom research diets commonly used in rodent models.
Teklad also creates high-fat diets for other species, including pigs, primates, and dogs. Contact us to discuss the use of these diets or one that better meets your needs.
*Control diets can be designed in several ways, depending on what features the researcher wants to modify relative to the high-fat diet. These are just a few examples.
"Western Diet" Cholesterol added
Diets with 55-60% of calories from fat like TD.06414 and TD.93075 are commonly used for inducing obesity in rodents. While considered extreme compared to typical human fat consumption, these diets are effective in initiating rapid weight gain in most rodents. With higher fat content there is less room for carbohydrate, thus the carbohydrate (particularly sucrose) amount is relatively low compared to other obesity inducing diets. If you are interested in high fat and high carbohydrate, look at diets with 40-45% of calories from fat (often referred to as western diets).
As the fat level increases, pellet quality (durability) is often compromised. Some higher fat formulas are available only in non-pelleted form or require specific carbohydrate, maltodextrin, for pelleting. Depending on the fat and carbohydrate sources used, the non-pelleted form could be dense and crumbly, dough-like, or paste-like. Though a little more challenging to work with, non-pelleted diet is still used by many researchers for diet-induced obesity models as these researchers suspect the softer form may enhance obesity development.
Diets with 40-45% of calories from fat, like TD.95217, TD.88137, TD.06415, and TD.08811, represent another popular diet pattern for diet-induced obesity work. These diets have double or triple the amount of sucrose found in higher fat diets. High levels of simple carbohydrate like sucrose and fructose may help to promote hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and fatty liver. Diets with a pattern of high sucrose and high saturated or trans fat are often referred to as "Western Diets" in obesity and cardiovascular fields. Some "Western Diets" have further modifications to the fatty acid profile or even specific vitamin and minerals adjustments to be even more closely matched to a Western Diet pattern. For specific fatty acid modifications, see examples on our fat/lipid adjusted diets page.
Many of the same diets used for inducing obesity in rodents can be used to enhance diabetes related phenotypes like insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. However, fasting hyperglycemia characteristic of diabetes (glucose > 200 mg/dL) is uncommon with a diet only approach. Pre-feeding a high fat diet to induce a certain level of obesity and insulin resistance and then giving low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) may be an effective approach if overt hyperglycemia is desired.
There are many options with different levels and types of fat in addition to different types of carbohydrate ranging from sucrose (highly refined, simple digestion) to corn starch (refined, but more complex) to resistant starch (refined, but not fully digestible). A very basic purified control diet would be AIN-93M (TD.94048) or AIN-93G (TD.94045). AIN-93 diets have a moderate amount of sucrose at ~10%, and fat is from soybean oil with a healthy fatty acid profile. Additional examples of controls for specific DIO diets can be found in the above tables.
Many researchers choose to compare their high fat fed animals to animals fed a natural ingredient, grain-based diet (also referred to as standard diets or chow). These diets differ in the source and level of nutrients as well as in the presence of non-nutritive factors (such as phytates or phytoestrogens). Depending on what your main comparisons are, it may be suitable to have a grain-based diet as your control/reference group. However, making such comparisons limits inferences to dietary patterns versus a specific dietary component.

A group of Singaporean food scientists have created the greatest thing since sliced bread — (sliced) purple bread.
The diabetic-friendly bread, created by Dr. Zhou Weibiao and his team at the Food Science and Technology Programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS), gets its colour from anthocyanin, a naturally-occurring plant pigment. Anthocyanin provides the orange, red, violet and blue colours we see in our fruits and vegetables. For this new creation, Zhou extracted anthocyanin from black rice and inserted it into a regular wheat bread recipe.
According to CNN, the addition of anthocyanin allows the bread to be digested 20 per cent slower than white bread. Which means it will leave you feeling fuller, longer.
The difference in digestion time is due to a chemical reaction between the pigment and the starch during the baking process, NUS explained in a press release.
The release also noted anthocyanin has the added benefits of reducing the risk of obesity, neurological diseases and inflammation. And thanks to it's rich hue, it is also an indication of a high antioxidant count, which is linked to lowering the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
"The challenge was to see if we could change the formula of bread, without changing the smooth texture of white bread that people really love," Zhou said to CNN. For example taro, which considered a purple superfood, can be used when baking bread (like the one below) at home but it might not have that familiar smooth texture.
Nutritionally, however, the difference between white and purple bread is moot. Label to label, the breads look the same. "You are eating the same amount of starch and wheat flour, so the nutritional value is the same. The key idea here is slowing down the energy release, so you use those calories over a longer period of time," Zhou told CNN.
Channel News Asia reported that the team is now looking to commercialize the bread but they warn that prices will be more expensive than white bread, falling somewhere in the whole-grain territory.
Does this mean we can finally bread without feeling guilty anymore?

The ground-breaking musical On Your Toes (1936), one of four Rodgers and Hart musicals originally choreographed by Georges Balanchine, is widely heralded as the first Broadway musical to use classical dance to advance a plot, and where jazz was incorporated into a Broadway score.
With a book by Richard Rodgers, George Abbott & Lorenz Hart, music by Richard Rodgers, and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, On Your Toes, features two ballets ("Princess Zenobia Ballet" and "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue"). The famous "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" (the show's Act II climax) tells the story of a striptease girl, her jealous lover/boss, and the object of the lover's jealousy, an average Joe customer who falls in love with the striptease girl. Before the ballet culminates, not only do we become aware of the jealous bosses' intentions to kill the striptease girl's admirer, but we find out that the Premier Danseur dancing the roll of the Customer is also in danger, as he has also got a jealous lover (and, incidentally, a dancer rival) on his tail. The Premier Danseur is now found living his real life on the stage in front of a full house and must dance literally to save his own before the Prima Ballerina's jealous lover carries out a lethal act of revenge on him.
Robert Russell Bennett's newly-engraved (and highly treasured) symphonic orchestration of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" has the ideal duration and instrumentation for your orchestra, making it easy to bring the seductive and dramatic main themes of this rousing and exciting ballet to your concert hall.
Robert Russell Bennett (the multi-award-winning orchestrator) was posthumously awarded at the 2008 Tony Awards a special Tony "in recognition of his historic contribution to American musical theatre in the field of orchestrations…"). This award was presented as a result of the use of his full, original orchestrations in the current Lincoln Center Theater revival of South Pacific.

Less than two months ahead of the world football championship in Brazil, another mundial (world event) will take place in São Paolo: NETmundial. This global event will gather over 800 representatives of numerous governments, the corporate sector, civil society, academic institutions, and the technical community, to discuss possible common Internet principles and the next steps in the global governance of the Internet.
Unlike in football, the ideal outcome of this diplomatic event should not be win-lose but rather (and hopefully) win-win. Nevertheless, the 'sides' have been taken since the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) in 2003 and 2005, and especially since the polarised outcome of the 2012 World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT). The constructive diversity of stakeholder positions on myriad Internet governance issues (affordable access and cost, human rights, privacy, cybersecurity, critical Internet resources, jurisdiction, etc.) has become dominated by a polarised debate on the future governance model. Should it be continuation of the current multistakeholder model or shift towards an inter-governmental model with many variations in-between? We tried to depict this polarisation in the context of NETmundial with an illustration, while re-emphasising the hope for a win-win outcome.
In an open and inclusive manner, the organisers of NETmundial asked for contributions from all interested stakeholders with regard to the principles and a roadmap that should form the agenda of the meeting. A total of 188 contributions were received from all over the world, with over 20 government contributions (including Canada, China, the EU and several European countries, India, Iran, Mexico, Russia, Switzerland, the UK and the USA); unfortunately there was only one government contribution from the Arab states (Tunisia), one representing island states (Trinidad and Tobago), and none from sub-Saharan Africa. The technical community was somewhat weaker in its response; no contributions from tech communities in Europe, BRICS, or Arabic countries were submitted. The NETmundial team worked on summarising the contributions and drafting a possible outcome document.
To assist the process, Diplo and the recently launched Geneva Internet Platform conducted the analysis of the 188 contributions, based on the data-mining and discourse analysis techniques successfully implemented in the IGF Language project which involved the analysis of the transcripts from the Internet Governance Forums (IGFs). We observed the appearance of certain words, phrases, and combinations of words in certain contexts from both quantitative and qualitative aspects: the frequency of occurrence of these in the contributions of each stakeholder group from each region, as well as the emotions and values they added in combination with some value words used. The interpretation of results in the NETmundial context was then based on 'human' knowledge and skills rather than being left to algorithms.
The aim of the project is to assist the evidence-based process during NETmundial: by observing patterns and trends of positions (on topics and/or process aspects) of various stakeholders from various regions, and interpreting them in their specific context, we are able to 'predict' and suggest 'zones of possible agreement' as well as possibly confront areas which might need further dialogue. We hope the results of this research will be useful for the NETmundial deliberations; it might also possibly pave the way for similar research exercises in other areas of diplomacy.
We are currently preparing a full report. But in the meantime, here are some interesting findings that can be of help for guiding the NETmundial dialogue. Take note though: this blog is longer than usual; you might want to get a coffee before you start into it or bookmark it to read later.
Plenty of other interesting results have emerged from the research, but we will stop here for the moment, and get back with further details at a later stage.
We will be reporting daily from NETmundial, so be sure to stay tuned.
This text is part of just-in-time analysis of NETmundial language. It is conducted by multidisciplinary team of linguists, lawyers, journalist and ICT specialists among others. For comprehensive follow-up of NETmundial please visit recently launched Geneva Internet Platform.

Lynn, I just wanted to drop this message to you as the Principal Broker at the Gearhart office. I'm just getting ready to close on the property and have to say after 20 years of buying and selling properties, Pam Ackley has been the absolute best I've ever worked with.

Griffin Lumber Corp - October 24, 2014
Pam has gone above and beyond what we have ever experienced with other realtors. There are too many things to list what she has done for us that exceeded our expectations, and continues to do. We are above the beyond pleased, and very grateful. We lucked out when it came to Pam Ackley. Thanks Pam, you're a life saver!
Christopher and Colleen Bennett - April 22, 2017
Pam took care of every thing. She minimized any disruption to my family. She was willing and pleasantly agreed to meet contractors, inspectors, and fit them in around our families busy schedules. Have already recommended Pam to other potential clients. We move frequently as a military family and Pam has been the best realtor we ever had.
William & Dorothy Davidson - August 12, 2014
Pam was very open to suggestions from us. It was a collaborative effort that took awhile because of the tough market. Pam kept us updated on showings and the current market. We felt she genuinely appreciated our home and conveyed that to other realtors.
Karen Anderson - January 22, 2014
Since I had moved out of the area, Pam had to arrange for all the repairs and be there to see them completed. When client got more picky, she picked up some repair costs that I hadn't expected her to. Pam did a wonderful job. I can't thank of anything she could have done better.
Karen Anderson - December 15, 2013
Pam supervised all repairs as I was out of the area. Paid for some of the expectations from the Buyer. Kept me calm throughout the process.
Michael Parrish - November 29, 2013
Pam is a great communicator, promptly replies even when on vacation out of state. Very knowledgeable in her market area. Pam was my buyer's agent. Was looking in a touch price point for a distressed property or cosmetically challenged place to build equity. After viewing many properties for months. Ended up buying a Short Sale that I came across that was out of her area. She still viewed/showed home, arranged inspections and was there when needed. Made me feel like I was her only client although she has many listings and other buyers. I am fairly confident that if not for her negotiation skills that this deal would not have made it to closing. Got property for considerably less than appraised value! So if you need a buyer's agent I highly recommend Pam Ackley!
Patricia & Dennis Mazur - May 15, 2013
The services Pam gave us was she referred a mover and gave alot of information about the new area for us. Helping with everything we asked for.
Michael & Laurel Blauer - May 10, 2013
Pam was very helpful and good at responding to questions and requests. We appreciate all of the knowledge she has regarding the area and the real estate market. We also appreciate her efforts to help us create a landscape plan that met our needs. Pam is great! She was also very good with our kids, and our 2 1/2 year old loves her. We've lived in our home for 2 weeks now and he still calls it "Pam's house".
Cary Johnson - January 21, 2013
Pam Ackley is very professional and as always, did a very good job with the selling of my home and the purchase of our new property. Thank you.
Eugene Harvey - December 19, 2012
Very professional and spot on with advise.
Francis & Linda Spiering - September 18 2012
Pam is very good at her job. Very informative and answered all our questions.
Paul Gisselberg - March 28 2012
The reason Pam was first chosen was because she was the only Realtor out of 5 who fully answered our email requesting information. We live out of the country and she did more then would normally be required to help us in every way to make this a smooth transaction. Our search was spread out over a 6 month period and she never once lost interest in helping us.
"Pam is the best!" - January 11, 2011
"She helped me through one of the worst "deals" she's seen in her career. It was a nightmare to deal with the asset company on a bank owned property. As a first time home buyer, I needed her all of the time for some reason or another. She did her all and more for me. As far as refering her to a friend, I ALREADY HAVE!"
Sherri Ness
Richard and Jeanne Carr
Pam was a key member of "our" team during the purchasing process of our beautiful new home. The gift card and champagne...plus the charitable donation in our name was a complete surprise...very thoughtful. Very experienced and helpful thru the entire process.

Microscopic focused ion beam inscriptions can be applied to nearly any surface which is smooth or polished enough to receive them. As a demonstration, a hair styling salon's logo was once inscribed on a human hair.
The FIB inscription process can be used to apply security marks to valuable or otherwise carefully monitored products or property. Due to their microscopic size, these security marks are invisible to the naked eye but are prominently revealed under the proper illuminating conditions in optical microscopes.
Microscopic graphic inscriptions applied to fiber optic parts allow for the production of test pattern artifacts which are useful for installation evaluation and inspection.
Devotional, romantic and artistic inscriptions and marks can be applied to gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, sapphires or any other highly polished gem. The marks are invisible to the naked eye but fully legible and very beautiful when illuminated and magnified under the microscope.
Norsam licensees perform security marking on valuable gemstones at large scale, while the application of some trademarks and custom inscriptions continue to be carried out by Norsam Technologies, Inc.

Top 3 Microservices Testing challenges with Ideal Solutions
Microservices is a successful attempt in Software development domain targeted at integrating specialized features. The benefits of microservices are comprehensive and businesses of all types can benefit from it. Some well-known benefits include scalability, flexibility, and deployability.
While microservices have several advantages, there are certain challenges that a company should be prepared for while testing and implementing microservices. This blog will discuss a few such challenges and also possible solutions for taking care of these challenges.
The right testing for microservices is best derived from Mike Cohn's testing pyramid which involves unit testing, contrast testing, integrating testing, and E2E testing. These four phases involve a number of test in increasing order from unit testing having the highest number of tests preferably automated and E2E having the least numbers of tests; the time required to complete these phases depends on the number of tests.
The scope of testing also needs to follow the similar pattern. The E2E testing should have a minimum scope. The last phase should typically be limited to checking the working of all services together. Employing a third-party testing company would save your internal teams the hassles. Try to hire an offshore Software testing company to reap maximum benefits at competitive prices.
Challenges and Solutions
Unlike testing in other fields, microservices require specialized concerns. Each stage of testing might require a different strategy and one strategy would not work perfectly in every setting. Listed below are some challenges and solutions in microservices testing.
• Versatility: Though this looks like a benefit, it is more of a challenge because microservices are like small segments and companies deploy teams to take care of each segment. Now, the right type of testing would involve holistic and individual unit testing which becomes a challenge. Therefore, to take care of such a situation, the best approach is to streamline testing and decide which phase will have which kinds of test. For example, integration testing can be left for the last phase.
• Interoperability: This is another benefit and a testing challenge. All microservices are required to work in tandem with each other to create highly flexible Software. But, at the same time testing each of these individual features for working well with each other cannot be left till the last stage because rework would cost a lot to the organization. The solution is to keep cross checking with vital features as and when working so that last moment glitches can be avoided.
• Compatibility: Microservices are required to function in tandem with each other. They are sometimes required to be exposed to external APIs and these might cause issues in functioning at a later stage. This requires extensive testing because the behavior can be unexpected. The best solution, in this case, is to test all exposure in the intermediate stages ensuring that compatibility with external sources is maintained.
The challenges discussed above might all occur at once or can be visible like a glimpse. If your internal team is not confident then you can partner with offshore Software testing service providers at a nominal price. Looking at what microservices bring to the table, it is worth every effort put in testing and maintaining these strategies. The success derived from microservices is guaranteed if you have opted for an effective testing strategy that is versatile and robust.

Almost two million login credentials including those for sites such as Facebook, Google and Twitter have been found online by security researchers.
Researchers from Trustwave's SpiderLabs division posted a blog post saying they had found the information online after using the source code of a botnet controller called Pony, which was leaked online.
Using this data they were able to trace information linked to its data-stealing capabilities and they came across the data dump of passwords from leading websites and services. Other sites affected included Yahoo and LinkedIn.
Overall 1.58 million website login details were stolen, 320,000 email account credentials, 41,000 FTP logins and 3,000 Remote Desktop credentials.
The researchers said it appeared that the attack was being carried out from the Netherlands, as a proxy server there was operating as an intermediary between infected machines and the overall command-and-control server botnet.
"This technique of using a reverse proxy is commonly used by attackers in order to prevent the command-and-control server from being discovered and shut down. Outgoing traffic from an infected machine only shows a connection to the proxy server, which is easily replaceable in case it is taken down," they wrote.
"While this behaviour is interesting in and of itself, it does prevent us from learning more about the targeted countries in this attack, if there were any."
The researchers also trawled the data to see what some of the most common passwords were. The data showed the same old story that weak, easily guessed passwords remain the norm.
In total, 15,820 accounts used the basic 123456 password, while the second and third most common were 123456789 and 1234. The fourth most popular was the predictable use of 'password', while the combination 12345 came fifth.

Paid Parental Leave counted as income
We now treat Paid Parental Leave as income. This means Parental Leave Pay and Dad and Partner Pay count in your income test for payments from us.
How it affects your income support payment
Your payment's income test will include your and your partner's:
- Parental Leave Pay (PLP)
- Dad and Partner Pay (DaPP)
Adding these to the income test may do one of the following:
- lower your payment
- give you a lower rate for a new payment or stop you getting one
- stop your payment if your total income is too high.
Read about what we assess as income.
When PPL ends
We'll do the following:
- test your income again
- adjust your payment to your new income.
If we cancelled your payment because your income was too high, you can apply again when you stop getting PLP or DaPP.
How to minimise an overpayment
If you're on income support and you backdate PPL to the child's date of birth, you'll have to pay us back for any income support overpayment. This is because we based your payment for that time on your income without PPL.
You can minimise this by choosing a start date in the future.
To get the full 18 weeks of PPL, the start date must be within 34 weeks of the birth or adoption.
Read about claiming Parental Leave Pay.
If we cancel your income support payment
Your payment will cancel if your or your partner's total income is too high. This will also affect your concession cards and Family Tax Benefit.
You can apply for the payment again when PLP or DaPP ends.
Choosing the right payment for you
When you have a new child you can choose either:
You need to decide which one is best for you.
Once you start on PLP, you can't change to Newborn Upfront Payment and Newborn Supplement.
You can apply for PLP even if we've already paid you Newborn Upfront Payment and Newborn Supplement. But you will need to pay us back for those if we agree you can switch to PLP.

I'm not sure why you would need to press lard unless you were actually making it, but then you would want to smush out all the extra yucky stuff, like the oils.

by: Jonathan C. Leight
I am not your typical female when it comes to movies or books. I like monsters! I even like action and the fantastic! I got all three from Jonathan C. Leicht in his new novel, Behemoth. What a great read!
The story begins with Jim Thompson, chief game warden of the Masai Mara preserve in Africa. Something is killing his elephants! They're being gored to death by an unknown assailant. Thompson's first guess is a mad rhino. However, Impressions left in the mud around the death scenes, footprints much bigger and stranger than any rhino could have left, lead him in an entirely different direction. The hunt begins for what could be … a dinosaur!
At the same time, Professor Stephen Gregory, a Christian creation scientist is fired from his position at University because his beliefs are just too fantastic for the school to support. Gregory believes there are flaws in the theory of evolution. He believes only the hand of God could have created the world and its creatures as they were and as they are now. What really gets him into trouble is his belief there may still be dinosaurs roaming the earth today. Ousted from the University, he's given a unique opportunity to prove his beliefs when he's offered a fully funded research safari to hunt for his elusive dinosaurs.
The story is action packed, exciting and fun. I had a hard time putting it down at times. The best part of the book, for me, was how the author managed to mix religion anf fiction. God was honored and the Creationist theories were explained in great detail without being "preachy". It fit right into the story line without weighing it down or making me feel I was in church (although there's nothing wrong with being in church! LOL). It was very well done.
My only criticism of the book would be this: Sometimes, the dual story line Thompson/Gregory got a little confusing and felt forced at times. The truth is, it was very much the same story…with two different main characters and two different dinosaurs. I think the story and the reader would have been better served if the author had pared down his story to focus on either just Gregory or just Thompson. Both accounts would have been great on their own…but were a little muddy together.
However, I still very much enjoyed the book.
I received my copy of Behemoth from Booksneeze for the price of a review. I would have been happy to pay for the book. It's worth it!

by Danger and Robert Sanchez
In I AM DON JUAN, masks are stripped, layers are peeled, and true natures are revealed. With bold strokes and brazen emotions, Danger and Robert Sanchez dives head first and cuts through a sea of barriers and unearths the inner demons of the everyman. Paying tribute to the legendary Spanish womanizer, they dismantle deception and awaken the beast that sleeps in the human abyss.
Rob Sanchez is a DJ and a businessman, as well as a self taught artist. Though Sanchez has always been interested in art from a young age, after college he pursued his interest in music istead and would later become a DJ, selling records while he managed an audio systems enterprise. It was through a business partnership with an art gallery that his creative instincts were triggered once again.
Sanchez works are primarily ex
pressionistic, dramatic portra its replete with distorted, thick lines and incongruous forming gnarly surfaces of painted faces. This artist duly approaches his paintings with a process that aims to capture the essence of his subjects.
In his return to art, he recalls painting one of the gallery's visiting artist who called his work "disturbing", an affirmation which Sanchez took positively. In no time, his paintings gained a steady demand from his friends and people from his immediate social circle have been asking him to do their portraits or of somebody else. Now earning good response from audience, he stridently confronts his talents with finessing reassurance that went dormant for many years.
Catch Danger and Roberto Sanchez's exhibit 'I AM DON JUAN' this Saturday, September 20 at 8pm at our new location: 2nd floor, Warehouse 2, Chino Roces Avenue, Makati
See you there!

Tipped cuts to concessional caps blasted
The SMSF Association has said it strongly opposes any plans to reduce the concessional contribution cap from $30,000 to $20,000 a year, claiming it would undermine the system.
Fairfax Media reported last week that the government is opting to tighten the concessional contribution caps from $30,000 to $20,000 and is also looking at tightening the non-concessional caps.
SMSF Association chief executive Andrea Slattery said the government needs to rule out speculation that a lowering of the concessional contribution cap is being considered.
"Reducing the cap will critically undermine the superannuation system's ability to give people the opportunity to save for a self-reliant, secure and dignified retirement," said Ms Slattery.
"In particular, it is extremely relevant to people who have volatile incomes throughout their working lives, whether it be due to career breaks to raise children, broken working patterns, or because they own or work in businesses whose fortunes rise and fall with changing economic conditions."
Ms Slattery said these groups of people need adequate caps to maximise their contributions when they have sufficient income in order for them to build their retirement savings throughout their working lives.
She also said there is also an intergenerational equity issue with reducing the cap to $20,000, as limiting the ability for people to make pre-tax contributions going forward unfairly affects Generations X and Y.
"This shifts the burden of superannuation changes that are driven by budget considerations onto future cohorts making their way towards retirement," she said.
Ms Slattery said the mooted change in the contribution caps is another example of a public debate about fiscal issues rather than a long-term debate about our future savings.
"The super system encourages people to make long-term decisions to save for their retirement but short-term policy decisions driven by budget considerations damage people's ability to make long-term savings plans," she said.

London has a rich 2000 year old history, but much of it is hidden and hard to perceive by the uninitiated. This private tour walk seeks to bring to light much of this history, looking broadly at the story of the city in a three hour walk.
For the purposes of this walk we will focus on the City itself and see how London developed from a Roman town to the bustling financial centre of an empire.
We will begin at the Tower of London, one of the symbols of London, built in 1078 to protect the city from invaders. From here we will discuss the Norman invasion and separation of City of London from the monarchy, delving into one of the most interesting periods of British history. We will continue the walk to one of the few sites which escaped the fire, but not the Blitz, All Hallows-by-the-Tower. The church is the oldest known in the City of London area and contains remains from the Roman, Saxon, medieval and modern periods. It was also the place where Samuel Pepys watched the Great Fire spread across the capital, and where William Penn was christened and where John Quincy Adams was married.
As we leave the church we will pass some of the remainders of the Roman and Medieval wall and fort that was situated in this area. While making our way in the Medieval streets of the City, we will discuss the architectural development of the square mile, from St Andrew Undershaft which survived the fire, the Blitz, and Victorian refurbishment, to the Lloyds Building and the controversial Gerkin. We will continue our peruse with a visit to the fourteenth century Leadenhall market where we will discuss the importance of trade for the history of the City and flourishing coffeehouses in this London. If time allows, we'll veer off to the Guildhall, the medieval town hall and the only pre-1666 secular building that survived the fire and the 1940-1 Blitz. This site is also home to a Roman amphitheater situated in the ground level of the structure. In our pursuit and we may examine the remains here. Depending on the day, and the clients' interest we may take the short walk to the third century AD Roman Mithraeum that was originally situated next to a small river called the Walbrook, which no longer exists
Or we could proceed to walk through the heart of the city through Eastcheap, once part of the area containing London's medieval market, whose memory only remains in the road names. From here we will walk to the Monument, a large monolith, now undergoing restoration, that commemorates the believed starting-point for the Great Fire of London in 1666, which destroyed most of the Medieval city. This included many of the ninety-six churches that existed in this part of London, and the job of their restoration was given to Christopher Wren whose masterpieces are still a feature of London today.
