The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus got it right when he wrote that the only thing constant in life is change. And more than 2,000 years later, that statement is truer than ever. This is especially evident in media. With today's continuous technological innovation and ongoing democratization of content creation, the media landscape is evolving so quickly it can often be hard to keep up.
Here are five current trends my agency is tracking and are actively integrating into our client strategies.
1. Live Streaming
In today's rapidly moving world, it doesn't pay to be reactive; sometimes you need to get out there and just do it live. From politics to sports to influencers showing off their latest exercise routine or what they're having for breakfast, there's seemingly nothing out there that can't be live streamed. 2016 saw the emergence of live video as a medium everyone needs to take seriously, and it's not showing any sign of slowing down in 2017.
Facebook users typically spend three times as long watching a Facebook Live video as they do pre-recorded ones, a stat that'll make any brand stop and take notice. A recent report predicted that live streaming will be a $70+ billion industry by 2021 — and with more and more brands getting on board each day, live streaming is not going anywhere.
2. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Integration
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are increasingly popular vehicles to facilitate compelling, experiential brand interactions, superimposing a virtual element on top of a real-world experience, in the case of AR, or completely supplanting real-world surroundings with an entirely other-worldly experience, as VR offers.
AR has been making its mark for a while now (think the rampant overnight adoption of Pokémon GO and enduring popularity of Snapchat filters), and shows no signs of abating any time soon. VR, on the other hand, is on the uptick as companies increasingly leverage the medium to bring brand, product and locale experiences to consumers where they are. Luxury real estate projects, for example, have started employing VR to allow potential buyers to "walk through" properties that have yet to be built. This is just one instance but the applications are endless.
3. Screen Agnosticism
This sounds a little "jargony" but when we say "screen agnosticism," we're really just saying that the medium isn't the message anymore — now the message is the message. We live in a world where content is often viewed on multiple screens simultaneously, so crafting creative and contextual messaging that is instantly recognizable, on-brand and seamlessly integrated, no matter what device it's being viewed on, is more important than ever.
This is less about universal functionality from a UX perspective and more about coming up with an all-encompassing content strategy that allows a brand to reach consumers with a cohesively crafted and effective brand voice, regardless of where or how they're seeing it.
4. Sponsored Editorial
As digital advertising continues to decline and media houses are increasingly shuttered, a new iteration of sponsored editorial is appearing on the scene. Media outlets are spinning off "studios" focused on creating engaging multimedia content that, on the surface, appears to be organic journalism, but is actually paid editorial aimed to drive awareness of brand initiatives.
One of my favorite examples of this in action is the multimedia piece produced by T Brand Studio (the production arm of The New York Times) a few years back which documents the plight of female inmates and their families. The trailblazing project was sponsored by Netflix's Orange is the New Black, and while the show is only mentioned once in passing, the issues raised in the piece parallel much of the experiences of the characters in the show – indirectly increasing interest in the topic and driving new viewers to the series.
5. Micro-Influencers
A shift from quantity to quality is afoot in the influencer arena. Recent debacles such as Fyre Festival and the dubious trend of buying followers have opened the door for micro-influencers to take a step even further into the limelight.
Brands are increasingly engaging micro-influencers over more famous (and expensive) influencers because it allows them to be more targeted and authentic in approach. While admittedly smaller in following and more niche in audience, micro-influencers enable a brand to reach a more interested and engaged audience.
Inevitably, by the time this is published, there will be yet another new trend creeping onto the scene. But isn't that what we media practitioners love about it? Today's ever-changing media landscape keeps us on our toes, while providing an endless channel of new ways to express, experience and innovate.

Mom Says ConAgra Plant Was Filthy
FORT WORTH (CN) – Salmonella poisoning from ConAgra Foods' peanut butter came from deplorable conditions at the company's Sylvester, Ga. plant, a mother claims on her son's behalf Tarrant County Court.
On behalf of her son mark, Sandra Gonzales claims ConAgra made its Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter in a deteriorating building full of roof leaks and gaps large enough for rodents and insects to enter.
Gonzales claims ConAgra knew its peanut butter has tested positive for Salmonella as early as October 2004. She claims ConAgra withheld the test results when an FDA inspector visited the plant in February 2005.
ConAgra continued making peanut butter in these dangerous conditions, resulting in at least 714 Salmonella infections in 48 states from Aug. 1, 2006 through July 19, 2007, the complaint states.
During a court-ordered inspection of the Sylvester plant in August 2007, inspectors found "over 100 rat traps; rodent tracks on raw peanuts in the roasting room; dead insects, including dead roaches; a dead rodent; bird feathers and excrement; and roof damage and water leaks," the complaint states.
Plaintiffs demand punitive damages. They are represented by Ron Simon with Simon & Luke of Houston.

Effect of Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride Gel on the Prevention of White Spot Lesions in Patients Undergoing Active Orthodontic Treatment
MetadataShow full item record
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel on white spot lesion (WSL) formation utilizing a typical orthodontic treatment interval for the applications. Methods: In this double-blind, placebo controlled trial, 55 patients starting orthodontic treatment, either at Texas A&M University, Baylor College of Dentistry or at a private practice, were randomly divided into two groups (a treatment and placebo). Every eight weeks, the treatment group received an application of Nupro 1.23% APF gel (Dentsply®) for one minute, while the placebo group received a gel treatment for one minute that was exactly the same composition, but lacked fluoride. Patients were followed for 6 or 8 months depending on when their second set of brackets was placed. Pre and post treatment photographs and Fluorecam® readings were used to quantify the development of WSLs. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the percentage of patients who developed WSLs, the number of new WSLs that developed on each tooth during treatment, or in the number of new WSLs developed per patient when using photographic analysis or Fluorecam® readings. Based on photographic assessments, 37.5% of patients in the fluoride group and 32.3% of patients in the placebo group developed new WSLs (p=0.685), while with Fluorecam assessments 37.5% of patients in the fluoride group and 58.1% of patients in the placebo group developed a new WSL (p=.130). Five patients had pre-existing WSLs (1 patient in the treatment group and 4 patients in the placebo group). Only patients in the placebo group demonstrated worsening of white spot lesions (p=.375). When using the Fluorecam® to quantify WSL development by measuring the size, intensity, and impact of each lesion, the only measurement which demonstrated a significant difference between the fluoride and placebo group was the intensity of the lower left first premolar (P<.05). The remaining readings on all of the other teeth were not statistically significant between the groups. Conclusion: Application of 1.23% APF gel for one minute every eight weeks does not have an effect in the prevention of WSL development.

Chapter Seven: "A Slave No Gentler"
Sir Edward de Valence leaned over Catherine and began to unbind her ankles from the foot of the bed. Her slim legs were weak from the passionate eruptions from not a few moments ago. There was a tenderness in his touch and Catherine could see a gentleness in his hazel eyes as well. Her ankles did not keep unfettered long, however, for he tied them together again at her ankles.
Edward then untied her wrists from the bed posts. He held onto both of them and eased Catherine over onto her front, pinning her wrists in back of her. Catherine did not protest, rather she just let Edward retie her wrists together. She did not understand why she did not try to free herself from this English but it seemed her body spoke for her now. As Edward sat her up next to Margaret, Catherine felt now oddly safe. Edward was not here to harm her and he had shown her joys that she could not even have imagined but a fortnight ago.
Catherine accepted her position beside the washerwoman Margaret, who had not accepted her position yet. They were both side by side and Catherine could feel the warmth of the red-headed woman mewling through her gag beside her. Margaret struggled in her bonds where Catherine just accepted them.
Edward then eased the knots out of Catherine's gag and did the same to Margaret.
"You both look hungry," Edward said as he took the gag out of Margaret's mouth.
"Untie me right now, m'Edward de Valence!" Margaret said, struggling; Her heavy breasts jiggling and bouncing with her writhing moves.
"Ah, you said you wanted to be my captive. You do not hear a protest from sweet Catherine's lips, do you?" Edward smiled.
"No. . ." Margaret trailed.
"Then relax. I will unbind you in do course, Margaret. In the mean time, you look starved."
Edward went over to the pot of stew he had and took the bone ladle and brought it to Catherine's lips.
Catherine did not realize how hungry she was and she opened her mouth gladly. Edward eased the spoon in and she closed her lips around it. It was not laced with the spices she was used to, but it did not taste bad. . . the meat was stringy and tasted of the honey that preserved it. The sauce hinted of wine and there was some potatoes and carrots, another thing she had not tasted since the siege began.
Edward ladled the second spoon full to Margaret who was more timid taking what Edward offered. She was not used to being fed like a child but she did accept it partially because she did not want the juice running down her chest.
The English knight continued to feed them until there was none left in the bowl. He also let them swallow some beer he had in his leather costrel. It was only after the bowl was cleaned and all the beer was drained Edward was ready to rest for the night ahead.
Edward went to Margaret and whispered in her ear, "So, dear Margaret, do you enjoy being a captive?"
His hands began to caress her larger, pink nipples.
Margaret did not answer directly and thought upon this, sitting nude and bound before her Edward. She had enjoyed the freedom the bindings did give her in receiving Edward's attentions. However, being fed and treated this way afterward was new to her and she was very uncertain if she liked it or not.
"If it pleas's m'Edward t' 'ave me this way," Margaret replied, "You know I will be here for m'lord."
"You did not answer the question, Margaret."
Margaret paused then answered, "Yes, m'Edward, I did enjoy it."
"Good," Edward replied.
The English knight then began to unbind Margaret, first her captive ankles and legs, then her wrists. Margaret flexed her fingers and hands, easing out their stiffness caused from her ties.
"While I rest, dear Margaret, I
need you to do this thing for me. . ." and Edward whispered into the
washerwoman's ear.
Bois D'Astier was not by nature a patient man and as the afternoon lingered and the rain had slackened its assault, he paced inside the small hut abandon by its tenants upon the fall of Harfleur. It was not but a few minutes ride away from the besieged port. It was a dangerous place to be, Bois knew, but he wanted to be close to the town in order to find out what had happened to his sister, Catherine.
The latest word from the town was there were still two towers upon the river that had not surrendered and Bois could here the distant thunder of cannon now vomiting their deadly stones at the towers walls. But, there would be no relief for those wretched souls in those towers. The king still had not made up his mind about the English threat here.
"M'lord Bois," one of his men, John, spoke, "You pace like a hound before the hunt. You must rest. Here, have some wine and sit by the fire."
Bois nodded and let John lead him to the hearth in the center of the room and the small, spitting fire flickering upon it. There were several of his charges huddled about the meager flame, getting what warmth they could. John handed his leader a ceramic mug filled with warm wine and Bois let its magic flow through him to ease him of the day's cares. He looked out the open door toward Harfleur.
"Soon, My Lord Bois, we will go to the town and be amongst the English as mercenaries. I have seen several of our lowly dogs doing so. They have no faith in our King. . ."
"Neither do I," Bois cut in, taking another sip of wine.
"True, My Lord Bois, he has been weak of mind. . ."
"Weak of heart, John. He has no spirit. France is close to civil war and now the English take liberties upon our soil with no opposition. He has lost France already and his weakly son is no better than he. We, John, loyal French, are all that stand between France and her ruin."
"I think it is the wine talking, My lord. . ."
"It is the truth and I am not afraid to say it."
John shook his head, his dark eyes cast down, "It is the truth," his words a mere whisper.
"My father will not be pleased when he hears word of what goes on here, John."
John just nodded.
Bois was fond of his sister, his closest sibling. They both looked the same. Hair the color of Raven's wings, dark eyes, slender of build. In their childhood, Bois used to have mock swordfights with her in the garden. His oldest brother, Jean, was too much his father's puppet and his two other brothers were more interested in their books and their father's travels. Only Catherine shared his love for adventure.
But Phillip D' Astier made sure that both Bois and Catherine knew their places and separated them. As they grew up, Bois rarely saw his sister but the memories of their happy times always lingered in his thoughts. They were the only happy times he could recall in their house.
"You brood again, My Lord Bois," John said, "You do worry me so."
Bois patted John on the cheek, "You worry too
much. That is my station, John, not yours."
Catherine could not understand what the red-headed washerwoman was doing. Her back was towards Catherine and she could not make out what Margaret was sewing something out of the clothes Edward had brought. She had also heard some metal clinks as Margaret sewed. She could not understand what they could be.
Catherine's gag was back in place and her bindings had changed slightly, as with her position in the English's bed. Edward had tied looped some thong around her waist as he had with the woman Margaret, and guided it between her sensitive, swyve-swollen lips before tying it to her wrists. If she pulled on her wrists, the thong rubbed against her quim; her pearl, causing a flush of pleasure through her. However, she dared not move for fear of what Edward had said to her would happen if she disturbed his rest.
The English knight slept beside Catherine, his skin warm next to hers. She could feel his every breath. She could almost feel his heartbeat. His arm was lax around her, embracing her to him gently. His manhood was warm and against her thigh, as asleep as Edward was.
She should sleep, Catherine thought to herself. But there was so much rushing through her head like a millstream through a waterwheel. It was obvious that Edward cared for her. The way he touched Catherine. The gentle way he bound her. However, she was still bound. . . a prisoner to his desires which were rapidly becoming her own. She was his to do with now as he pleased and it pleased Catherine to be such.
Edward move a bit, his thumb brushing against her nipple every time she breathed. It was a sinful feeling that did not help quench her fires that seemed to keep burning within her. Nor did it help to have the thong rubbing her within her quim. She gently rocked her hips against the leather, feeling their lustful magic stoke her fires slowly. She dared not move much, however, for fear of awakening Edward.
Would he be so cruel? Catherine asked herself.
The thought of being bound outside the city gates and left alone frightened her. That is what Edward had promised would happen if she dared wake him. He said she would be left for the wolves to feed upon like they did upon the dead of the siege. Their howls could be heard in the night. There were not many left but the plagues and the wars left fewer men and the wolves seemed to know this. Entire villages were emptied by the Death and the sleek canines would prowl about the streets like demons. The wild dogs were as bad.
She could almost feel the hot breath of a wolf as it sank it's teeth into her pale throat. . .
Catherine awoke with a start. She had drifted asleep and the Edward's threat lingered in her mind.
However, her fires had not gone out. Edward's threat only reinforced her feelings of helplessness. But it was that helplessness that was driving her dark, pleasurable needs.
His thumb still tickled at Catherine's nipple, which was stiff with the bliss of his slight touch. The leather strands between her legs rubbed her more and more as she gently rocked her hips against the thong. Her fires were burning hot now, fanned by her gentle movements. She moaned quietly into her gag. The washerwoman did not hear her nor, she prayed, did Edward.
Why was this so? Catherine asked herself. Why did she enjoy being bound so much by this English?
She closed her eyes and imagined his touch on her; the touch of a lover. His hands holding her breasts from behind, his fingers pulling at their tips and sending lightening flashes of bliss into her womb. She could feel him press against her back, his kisses hungry at her neck, her earlobe, her smooth shoulder. His manhood firm against her buttocks as she rocked her hips. Her body was eager to please her lover and the feel of his hardness between her cheeks, so close to her thirsting quim, was near torture. She could feel the pleasure build up within her, the leather weaving it's magic through her sex and she pressed herself more and more against it.
Then the fire consumed her and she shook and writhed within her bonds.
She then realized it was not all her imagination. Edward's fingers were clasped over her breasts and his manhood was firm against her.
"Not an unpleasant wakening, dear Catherine," he whispered in French as he kissed, "but I had warned you what would happen."
Fear gushed through her like a rush of ice water and she pleaded into her gag.
"Do you think I did not mean what I said?"
Again Catherine pleaded into her gag, tears running down her face.
Edward pinched her nipple hard.
"I will forgive you THIS TIME, dear Catherine, but not again. I will flog you and leave you bleeding for the dogs. Do you understand?"
Catherine nodded her head, still sobbing. Her tears now were from relief.
"Now I must rest. When I awake, I am sure Margaret will have finished something special for you."
Edward caressed her nipples slowly, like the lover he was in her dream.
"It will be a long night for me, m'lady Catherine, and if you want to continue to enjoy the pleasures of my company, you must let me rest or I may very well end up dead. Those towers need to fall, dear Catherine, and if you are to be my wife rather than my ransom, you must understand I have to do this thing."
The word "wife" echoed through Catherine like the bells of Notre Dame upon Christmas. . . a toll full of joy that could not be imagined.
"Now be still."
And Catherine was.

Do You Have a Low Milk Supply?
Some moms may need to increase milk supply if they have a low supply, while others may want to produce more milk for storing or donating. Moms should first determine if they actually have a low supply, unless they need extra milk for storing. A low milk supply can be determined if the baby is not gaining well or not having enough wet and dirty diapers.
Whether a mom has a low supply or she simply wants to produce more milk for storing, there are a few tips that will help increase milk supply.
1) Frequent Nursing
The more milk that is removed from the breasts, the more milk the mom will produce. A mom should encourage her baby to nurse as often as possible. She should hear the baby sucking and swallowing throughout the feeding. If the baby cannot latch properly, it may be due to a tongue tie. If the mom is having difficulty waking a sleepy baby, she can encourage the baby to nurse more by switching sides throughout the feeding.
2) Wearing a Carrier
When a mom wears her baby in a carrier, the baby is kept close to the breast. The physical closeness will encourage the baby to nurse more often, which will result in more milk removed from the breast and an increase in milk supply.
3) Pumping
After every feeding, moms can pump each breast for five to ten minutes. This will ensure the breasts are being emptied as much as possible, which will result in the production of more milk.
4) Herbs
Before taking any herbs, a mom should consult with her baby's pediatrician or her doctor, to make sure there is no possible interaction with other medications either of them take. Herbs and medications that are used to increase milk supply are known as galactagogues.
Fenugreek: The mom should take at least six capsules per day. She can spread the pills out throughout the day, so she takes two every few hours. If she begins to smell like maple syrup, she is taking enough pills.
Blessed Thistle: Moms should take about three capsules per day. This is usually used in combination with Fenugreek.
Herbal Mixes: Mother's Milk Tea and More Milk Plus are herbal mixtures moms can take. Mother's Milk Tea is a drink that the mom can use to increase milk supply. More Milk Plus is a mixture of herbs, including Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle that the mom can buy in pill or liquid form. The liquid form can be dripped onto food or drinks that the mom is consuming.
5) Staying Healthy
The mom should eat about 300 to 500 extra calories per day, so her body has the energy to make milk. Staying hydrated is important for milk production, so moms need to drink at least eight or nine glasses of fluids per day. The mother should rule out health conditions that can affect her supply, such as a thyroid condition.
6) Avoiding Supplements
Every time a mom supplements with a bottle, she is missing the milk being emptied from her breasts. She should try to avoid supplementing with formula. If she must be away from her baby, she should pump for every feeding that she misses.
7) Medications
If a mom tries all of the above recommendations and cannot increase milk supply, she can consult her doctor for medications to take. Some medications she may be prescribed to increase milk supply include Domperidone or Reglan.

Our Agenda
South Carolina Chamber of Commerce Competitiveness Agenda
2020 Competitiveness Agenda:
Our Competitiveness Agenda outlines our most pressing policy priorities for this year's legislative session. Year in and year out, our goal is to fight for policies that make South Carolina the best place in the nation to live, work, and do business.
Our 2020 Focus is on Comprehensive Tax Reform and Workforce Development.
Competitive Tax Code:
Business License Tax Reform Website
2020 is the year of tax reform. With a $1.8 billion budget surplus the General Assembly and Governor must make reforming our broken system a priority. South Carolina ranks 30th in overall business tax climate. Our tax code is antiquated, needlessly complex, and uncompetitive.
1. Lower the personal income tax rates for the State's workforce:
- At 7%, South Carolina's top marginal income tax rate is the highest in the Southeast and kicks in at only $14,860.
- Neighboring states Georgia and North Carolina both have lower, more competitive income tax rates.
- Six states lowered individual income tax in 2019.
2. Make the business license tax system fair and less complex
- 231 cites and 9 counties levy a business license tax, but have not adopted a standard system of collecting the tax.
- Small businesses operating in multiple cities are overly-burdened by the time and costs to comply.
- Dr. Russell Sobel, an economist at The Citadel, estimates that a business operating in 30 municipalities in the Charleston area will spend 120 hours, or 15 working days a year, complying with different renewal dates, applications, calculations and appeals.
- Municipalities calculate business license taxes using an antiquated method unique to South Carolina.
- While most states assess flat license fees, our state law allows cities to assess the tax based on a business's gross receipts instead of net income.
3. Provide property tax relief to businesses and renters
- South Carolina has the 4th highest industrial property tax rates in the nation.
- Renters and businesses face a property tax burden 3 times more than primary homeowners.
Workforce For the Future:
South Carolina's business community needs a quality and effective workforce system to sustain and enhance business growth, and improve the quality of life for South Carolinians.
1.Finish the job on comprehensive education reform
- More than half of students in grades 3 through 8 failed to meet state reading and math standards in the 2017-18 school year.
- 1 in 4 High School students are not college or career ready
- Comprehensive reform should include:
- Strengthening Read to Succeed
- Support efforts to consolidate school districts
- Supporting strong intervention in underperforming schools
- Supporting Schools of Innovation
2.Increase affordable workforce housing closer to where jobs are located.
- South Carolina is a fast-growing state with an expanding economy, but rapid economic growth in some areas of the state has resulted in a lack of attainable housing for many of the state's working citizens.
- Without a solution to make affordable workforce housing more available in high growth areas, we will continue to have challenges filling the workforce pipeline and attracting and retaining talent.
3.Link education and workforce data to identify and fix gaps in the workforce pipeline.
- A State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) will link information on a student from K-12 through higher education and into the workforce – allowing businesses and policymakers to make sound, data-driven decisions that support the success of the SC education pipeline and the workforce.
- South Carolina is one of only two states in the southeast region that does not have a LDS (and one of 11 of 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico)
- An operational LDS can help determine outcome measures such as:
- Percent of high school students gainfully employed five- and 10-years post-graduation.
- Percent of students graduating from public high schools who enter postsecondary education without the need for remediation.
- Average earnings for post-secondary graduates, by degree level and major.
- Assist the state in alignment of college and certificate course offerings with the needs of the economy.
4.Expand broadband access in rural areas for education, healthcare and small business needs
- Internet access is a necessity for success in the today's world – playing a key role in modern education, healthcare, agriculture and business.
- Almost 435,000 South Carolinians (nearly 10%) either don't have access to internet in their home or have access to inadequate service, posing extreme challenges for individuals and industry in those areas, both rural and urban.

Big Tech continues its assault on real choice. Abortion apologists call themselves "pro-choice", as long as the choice is to abort. Henry Ford supposedly used to say that a buyer could order his Model T Ford in any color, as long as it's black. Amazon, the semi-monopolistic book purveyor, wants customers to have a wide choice of books, as long as they don't offend LGBTQ activists. From Rod Dreher, TheAmericanConservative.com: "Amazon has removed English-language books by Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, founder of the Thomas Aquinas Psychological Clinic, as well as the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), who authored several how-to guides directed to parents of LGBTQ youth, including "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality."
However, there are still plenty of books that don't apparently offend woke sensitivities enough to ban them, that you can buy on Amazon.com. These include: The pro-Stalin works of Stalin apologist Grover Furr, an American academic who argues in books and in lectures that Stalin killed nobody, and committed no crimes. (Between 7-10 million Ukrainians and other Soviet citizens died in the Stalin-engineered famine called the Holodomor alone). A history of Communism by the white supremacist David Duke.
The SS Leadership Guide, translated from German. Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler. A highly influential text by the Islamist radical Sayyid Qutb, Milestones, which calls on Muslims to wage relentless global jihad against non-Muslims and insufficiently radical Muslims, until the entire world is under radical Islamic rule.
You can buy titles by Marx, Lenin, and Mao on Amazon.com. The Nazis killed over 6 million in the Holocaust, and were chiefly responsible for a world war that killed millions more — yet you can buy the works of Adolf Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels on Amazon.com. Mao's "Great Leap Forward", forced collectivization of farms, killed over 12 million, by starvation and torture. It ought to unnerve all readers that Amazon trusts its readership so much that it is willing to sell books authored by murderous tyrants, bloodthirsty religious fanatics, and stone-cold racists … but not a psychology book by a deceased Catholic psychotherapist from California who believed, rightly or wrongly, that homosexuality could be cured.
Twitter, too, continues crackdown on conservative accounts. On Monday night, Twitter suspended the parody account "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody)". Like a hydra, however, accounts parodying AOC have blossomed, with at least five emerging from the void left by the AOCPress account. Unlike Amazon, Twitter and Facebook cannot stop disagreeable information or satire from getting out, it's too easy to start a new account. Case in point is Twitter. While "miniAOC" was driven off social media by death threats and doxing, Twitter found that trying to suppress AOC satire was like putting out brush fires barefoot.
The account AOC Press (PARODY) sent off its first tweet in the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday. The account joined Twitter in May 2019, likely shortly after the first AOC press parody was suspended. As of 3 p.m., this account had garnered 483 followers. AOC*Parody* also started in May 2019 and sent out its first tweet at around 10 a.m. The account, which describes itself as "she blinded me with science," had gained 33 followers as of 3 p.m. Official AOC From The Block — (PARODY) also joined Twitter in May 2019. Its first tweet came in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. As of 3 p.m., it had 65 followers. AOC Official Parody also leapt into existence in May 2019, firing off its first tweet around 9 a.m. Tuesday. The account had racked up 36 followers by 3 p.m. Rep. AOC (parody) also began in May 2019, firing off its first tweet around 10 a.m. Tuesday. By 3 p.m., it had garnered 20 followers.
Pet owners know how stressful Independence Day fireworks are to dogs, so I offer a belated PSA for owners of liberals, or libs, the same people who want to limit your choice to their agenda.
Independence Day is the time of year libs are most likely to run away. Fireworks, proclamations of freedom and liberty, and celebrations of the greatness of America are likely to spook a lib. They often cower in fear and run away or crawl under the nearest Prius. This effect is exacerbated when a Republican is in office, or even Donald Trump.
"To a lib, fireworks proclaiming the freedom of the United States from England make them feel like they're about to die," said Dr. Bob Meander, an expert lib psychologist. "Libs often spook and run down the street screaming at the sky and are prime targets for getting run over by an American-made pickup truck. They'll be much safer if you bring them inside, speak soothing words of encouragement to them, and turn on some CNN or MSNBC." The doctor also recommended reading from The Communist Manifesto and feeding them their favorite vegan treats.

CBD isolate is the purest form of cannabis "extract" on the market. It is in essence, the pure, crystalline form of CBD and has a high CBD percentage. It is a white crystal-like substance that is 99.9% pure CBD.
CBD Isolate: The Highlights
- CBD isolate is a pure form of CBD.
- Isolate crystals have a purity of 99.9%
- The CBD isolate doesn't contain any traces of THC, so consuming it will not produce any psychoactive effects
- Using the isolate can help you overcome many ailments and medical conditions
- While the CBD isolate has a positive effect on your health and well-being, the product cannot produce an entourage effect
What is CBD Isolate?
CBD isolate is, in essence, the pure, crystalline form of CBD. It is a white crystal-like substance that is 99.9% pure CBD. Contrary to what you might think, it is not actually synthetic or manufactured in a laboratory. It is extracted from the industrial hemp plant.
As the name suggests, there's no connection here between CBD isolate and THC. The final product contains virtually no THC. The extraction process ensures that CBD is the only cannabinoid that is isolated. Plus, it is extracted from industrial hemp, which has virtually no THC content.
Whole Plant CBD vs. CBD Isolate
Well, it's pretty safe to say that we have completely neglected the concept of whole plant medicine when we choose to extract pure CBD.
The idea of whole plant medicine has been fundamental to herbalists and naturopaths, and it is this concept that was left behind by pharmaceutical companies. How close are we to stepping into "pharmaceutical" territory with the production of CBD isolate?
The sense of whole plant medicine, in a nutshell, is this: the plant, as a whole, contains the synergistic energy of all of its constituent parts, and to isolate one part is to lose the power of this synergy.
This is why in herblore, there was no point in extracting a single compound. Rather, the whole plant was used, and all of the compounds that were extracted were thought to hold, as a single unit, the healing power of that plant.
The same can be said for cannabis. Cannabis does not even just contain cannabinoids. It contains terpenoids and flavonoids, all of which are seen to work together to give it its medicinal value. This kind of teamwork is referred to as the entourage effect.
Although we may have been able to isolate CBD and THC because we have identified them as being powerful medicines, we have taken them away from the rest of their chemical environments.
What's more important? A bigger hit of CBD – or CBD in conjunction with all of its teammates?
If you ask a herbalist, they will say that CBD isolate will not hold as much healing power as whole plant CBD (which contains flavonoids, terpenoids, and other cannabinoids, too). However, if you ask a reductionist, they will say that CBD on its own is healing, and the purer it is, the more pronounced its healing effects will be.
They are two very different ways of approaching medicine in general: one is holistic and the other is reductionistic. Until now, we don't really know which one is "better". But both of them have their applications in different circumstances.
How is CBD Isolate Made?
To finally arrive at CBD isolate, there are quite a few different processes involved. To begin with, CBD isolate is extracted from industrial hemp rather than the cannabis plant.
This is because industrial hemp has quite a high CBD potential, and virtually no THC potential.
First, CO2 is used to extract the oily, waxy essential oils from the plant. Carbon dioxide is essentially the solvent in this process, so it is a sort of "solventless" form of extraction.
Once the hemp oil has been extracted, a filtration process occurs to isolate CBD from the rest of the cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. During this filtration process, any trace amounts of THC are also removed.
Why Isolate The CBD?
As you might already know, CBD is one of the two most prevalent compounds in the cannabis plant. Along with THC, CBD is well known for its medicinal value and its ability to treat a variety of different medical conditions.
However, the biggest difference between these two cannabinoids is that THC is psychoactive while CBD is not.
When it comes to medical credibility, marijuana is a bit controversial because of the fact that it makes you high. Isolating CBD gives the opportunity for medical marijuana without the "stoned" side effect.
This makes it readily available to all kinds of people, including children and the elderly. Plus, it gets more credibility as a medicine when the "getting high" factor is removed.
Crystals vs. Powder
CBD isolate comes out in two main forms: either a white powder or a white crystal-like substance. The two are more or less identical in their chemical makeup, in the sense that both of them are 99.9% pure CBD.
The difference is that one has been crushed to make it more powdery whereas one has been left in its crystalline structure.
As we'll discover throughout this article, this difference is minute and has almost no impact on the way that it is used. Powder makes it easier to dose as crystals are usually chunky and have to be broken apart anyway.
How To Use CBD Isolate
We mentioned that the main objective of CBD isolate is versatility. This extraction can be used to create a myriad of other products, such as topicals, tinctures, creams, edibles etc.
The final result is the same: a pure CBD infused product. So let's have a look at some of the different ways it can be used.
Under Tongue
If there is no desire to infuse CBD isolate into other products, it can simply be put under the tongue. It will be absorbed through the mucous membrane under the tongue and will enter the bloodstream quickly.
It is best to let the isolate sit under the tongue for 60-90 seconds rather than swallowing it.
Make Your Own CBD Oils
Another way to use CBD isolate is to infuse it into oils and consume it as CBD oil. You can dissolve CBD isolate into different kinds of oils. Whether you infuse it into olive oil, coconut oil or another hemp oil is entirely up to you.
This oil can then be taken sublingually or can be used to make edibles or other products.
Vape CBD Isolate
CBD isolate can be vaped in much the same way that wax or shatter can be vaped. It can be put into a vaporizer or it can be used in a dabbing rig. It should be vaporized at around 356-392°F.
If you already vaporize a certain extract or liquid, the CBD isolate can be added to that oil and vaped the same way.
Blend CBD isolate into honey
Honey is also well known as a powerful medicine, especially for its anti-bacterial and soothing effects. Infusing CBD isolates into your honey is a great way to get a daily dose of CBD into your tea or coffee.
A double boiler technique will allow you to heat up your honey enough to dissolve the CBD. Just make sure you don't burn the honey in the process! Now you can use this honey in smoothies, drinks or on your toast.
The Benefits of CBD Isolate
When we address the benefits of CBD isolate, we're really talking about the benefits of CBD. They are so numerous, it's almost hard to keep up with the many different benefits of CBD.
We're going to have a look at a few of the specific reasons that someone might want to take CBD as medicine or nutritional supplement.
Pain Relief
One of the most common applications of CBD products is pain relief. Although THC is the main analgesic compound in marijuana, CBD also has applications for this complaint.
CBD's interaction with the endocannabinoid system causes changes in the nervous response to pain, therefore decreasing it and offering pain relief.
This is one that many of you might find interesting. We often associate cannabis with having psychoactive effects. However, CBD is almost a counterpart to THC's psychoactive effects, actually counteracting it with antipsychotic effects.
The antipsychotic effects of CBD are comparable to other antipsychotic pharmaceutical drugs.
It is thought that the way CBD has this effect on users is because it is significantly associated with elevated anandamide levels (the endogenous cannabinoid).
Even though we still don't know exactly how CBD expresses its antipsychotic functions, it seems that its ability to raise levels of endogenous cannabinoids has something to do with it.
It's possible that CBD isolate can work to treat anxiety disorders in much the same way that it works in the case of psychosis. The fact that CBD interacts with receptors all over the nervous system means that the user can experience relief from nervous tension and the "fight or flight" response.
Plus, the fact that it elevates the "feel good" endogenous cannabinoid, anandamide, can decrease levels of stress and anxiety in a person.
The quality of CBD that makes it a potential anti-cancer drug is its action in the proliferation of cells. Ingesting CBD plays a crucial role in the proliferation of cells in the body.
And when it comes to cancer, this essentially means that it has the potential to stop the growth of cancer by inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence for the treatment of cancer with CBD, but there is still much research to be conducted in this area.
It is thought by scientists that the vomiting or nausea response is elicited by actions of the CB1 receptor that is sprinkled throughout the human body. It is increasingly difficult to treat nausea experienced by chemotherapy patients with drugs that are available on the market.
CBD offers a natural therapy for nausea without any side effects or contraindications for chemotherapy.
The endocannabinoid system plays an enormous role in the case of epilepsy or other seizures. At last, we are finally reaching hard evidence that CBD can be used to treat conditions such as epilepsy, which is otherwise increasingly difficult to address.
The way that CBD works in the body to address seizures is extremely complicated because it doesn't necessarily do so via CB1 and CB2 receptors.
However, it does so via other peripheral actions in the endocannabinoid system that involve other neurotransmitters.
CBD works to treat oxidative stress! It is thought that oxidative stress plays a huge role in the development of diabetes, which is why antioxidants are great sources of relief for those with diabetes. However, cannabinoids such as CBD can also act as antioxidants.
The interaction of CBD with free radicals in the body shows potential for treating those who have diabetes or experience other complications in relation to diabetes.
Interestingly, CBD acts directly on certain, isolated arteries. It can protect these locations from damage that is caused by dietary issues (such as excess glucose) or inflammation.
Furthermore, there is a period of vasorelaxation immediately after CBD ingestion. These factors give scientists a reason to believe that CBD plays a role in cardiovascular health.
What To Know Before Buying CBD Isolates
You should never go out there buying medical supplements unless you really know what you're buying. This is especially true for any medical product that is extracted from the hemp plant, and we're going to explain why.
Hemp has the quality of being phytoremedial. For those who don't know what this botanical quality is, it more or less means that hemp is a planet detoxification plant.
It has the ability to absorb the radioactive material and other toxins from soil and digesting it, therefore regenerating the soil and replenishing it.
Just on a side note, sunflowers also have this quality! This is a great tool for farmers who need to replenish their soil in between seasons. But for people who want to ingest the final product, this is something very important to consider.
If you are going to be purchasing CBD isolate, it is important to choose a product that you know has been extracted from organically grown hemp. If it has not been grown organically, you can be sure that some contaminants are in your final product.
Always do your best to find out the source of the CBD extract you wish to purchase. Companies should be transparent about where their hemp is grown, how it is grown and which methods are used for extraction.
Where To Buy CBD Isolate
If you're lucky enough to live in a weed-friendly state in the USA, you can probably purchase CBD isolate at one of the many dispensaries near you. This product is becoming more and more popular, and dispensaries are eager to stock the product.
If you don't live in a weed-friendly part of the world, things are a little more difficult. CBD isolate can be purchased online, but we don't encourage purchasing the product if it is still illegal in your country.
Again, it's heavily advised that you do some market research before purchasing a CBD isolate online. Research the manufacturers and if you can, check out their lab test results to know the purity.
CBD Isolate: Final Thoughts
CBD isolate is literally changing the way that we view cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids. It is just so pure, there is really no room for contaminants or unwanted side effects.
However, for many, this jump in technology means that we have gone further and further away from the natural herbal plant that we know and love.
It's kind of scary that the marijuana industry is following in the same footsteps as the pharmaceutical industry.

Moscow, November 12, 2010 -- Moody's Investors Service has today changed the outlooks to stable
from negative on Alfa-Bank's (Alfa) Ba1 long-term
foreign currency deposit and senior debt ratings, the Ba2 subordinated
debt ratings, and D Bank Financial Strength Rating (BFSR).
The bank's NP short-term remains unchanged.
Moody's assessment is mostly based on Alfa's audited financial
statements for 2009 prepared under IFRS. At the same time,
we caution that our assessment, in part, incorporates information
from Alfa's non-audited (reviewed) interim consolidated statements
for H1 2010 under IFRS.
"According to Moody's, the rating actions on Alfa-Bank
reflect the stable trends in the financial fundamentals of the bank.
Asset quality is showing signs of improvement; in addition,
provisions and capital buffers appear adequate to offset expected credit
losses under our base case stress-test," says Eugene
Tarzimanov, a Moody's Vice-President -- Senior Analyst.
Alfa's liquidity appears to be adequate, with cash,
cash equivalents and relatively liquid securities accounting for around
22% of total assets at H1 2010 (unaudited data). Moody's
sees remote near-term refinancing risks for Alfa. The bank
has been successful in attracting new wholesale funding, notably
through a US$1 billion Eurobond in September 2010.
The level of problem loans is decreasing, and Moody's believes
that most large problem exposures are already identified by the bank.
Corporate loans overdue by more than 90+ days stood at 7.4%
of gross corporate loans at Q3 2010 (management data), compared
to 15% at the beginning of the year. On top of that,
restructured loans decreased to 12.4% of gross loans at
Q3 2010, compared to 13.3% at YE2009. Our base
case expectation is that Alfa's asset quality should continue to improve
in 2011, supported by positive economic developments and problem
loan workouts. Problem loans were adequately covered by provisions,
with a provisions/gross loans ratio of 9.5% at H1 2010.
In addition, the bank's total CAR of 22.2% at
H1 2010 indicates that Alfa has an adequate buffer against potential credit
Negative BFSR drivers for Alfa include a (i) weak loan portfolio quality
with expected further improvement; (ii) high single-name concentrations
on both sides of the balance sheet and high related-party exposures;
(iii) a high share of loans denominated in foreign currencies.
Alfa's Ba1 debt/deposit ratings continue to enjoy low support from
the Russian government, resulting in a one notch uplift above the
bank's baseline credit assessment of Ba2. In Moody's
opinion, this is due to Alfa's status as the largest private
sector bank in Russia with a moderate market share in retail deposits.
Moody's previous ratings actions on Alfa were on 19 February 2009,
when the bank's BFSR was downgraded to D from D+. At
the same date, Moody's affirmed the bank's Ba1 senior
and Ba2 subordinated debt ratings.
The principal methodologies used in rating Alfa-Bank are "Bank
Financial Strength Ratings: Global Methodology", published
in February 2007, and "Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis
into Moody's Bank Ratings: A Refined Methodology", published
in March 2007, which can be found at www.moodys.com
in the Ratings Methodologies sub-directory under the Research &
Ratings tab. Other methodologies and factors that may have been
considered in the process of rating this issuer can also be found in the
Rating Methodologies sub-directory on Moody's website.
Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, Alfa reported IFRS assets
of US$22.6 billion and total equity of US$2.9
billion at 30 June 2010. The bank's net IFRS profit for the six
months ended 30 June 2010 was US$296 million.

My computer is packed and going to be shipped. I don't know when it will arrive, or if it will arrive intact, but I backed up my files (well, most of the important ones anyway) on a portable HD that I will be taking with me.
I'm flying tomorrow. mrsbadexample my flight should be arriving at 5:17 PM. I'll call you with any updates on Jesse but she should be on my plane. Turns out I don't have a connection after all, I just have a stop in Atlanta. I stay on the plane.
My cell phone will be pretty much non existant because I don't have much of a way to charge it until my car arrives on the 27th.
I hope my computer doesn't get killed.
Signing off for now.

Single Ply Roofing Material
If you are needing a new commercial roof, you might be thinking, "What is the best material for a flat roof?" There are many flat roof material options to choose from such as built up roofing, modified bitumen roofing, single ply roofing, and spray foam roofing. Built up and modified bitumen roofing are roofs that are made of multiple layers of materials, and are pretty common for commercial roofs. A lot of people might not know what a sinlge ply roof is and ask, "What is a single ply roof membrane?" They are roof membranes that are made up of plastic materials that give them strong and flexible qualities. While built up and modified bitumen roofs are pretty common, single ply roofs are starting to outweigh them in terms of popularity. This has to do with the fact that single ply roofing is strong, durable, and flexible, making them excellent commercial roofing systems. If you are interested in single ply roofing for your building, its best to get in contact with a commercial roofing company. They will be able to tell you about the single ply roofing how to, as well as other information that you need.
Best Single Ply Roofing
When it comes to finding the best single ply roofing system, commercial property owners have a couple of options. There are three single ply roofs that building owners can choose from, which are EPDM, PVC, TPO.
EPDM roofing is a thermoset rubber roofing system that is made out of ethylene and propylene. One of the first questions that are asked about EPDM is, "How long does an EPDM roof last?" and the answer is up to 50 years, which is a really great advantage. Other reasons that people love EPDM roofs is because they are able to resist hail, wind, UV rays, severe temperatures, and thermal shock. While they are durable, they can be prone to punctures, which can let water in the roof.
PVC roofing is thermoplastic roofing system that is made of synthetic plastic polymers and vinyl. One of the great things about this roof is that the seams heat-welded, which means they won't separate. These single ply roofs are also ENERGY STAR® qualified, so they are able to save property owners money on energy costs. Another thing to mention is that if your roof comes into contact with chemicals, PVC roofing is resistant to oil, grease, and acid. When it is colder outside, these roofs tend to shatter and can shrink over time.
TPO roofing is also a thermoplastic roof that is made up of polyolefins or plastics. They are considered a cool roof which means it will decrease your energy costs, and they are ENERGY STAR® qualified just like PVC roofs. It is also resistant to punctures and chemicals and is eco-friendly. These roofs only last up to 15 to 20 years and they can start to shrink when they are in contact with UV rays for too long.
Because TPO and PVC roofing are both thermoplastic roofs, people tend to wonder, "What is the difference between TPO and PVC roofing?" There are many differences between these two, TPO roofing is more weather resistant, eco-friendly, and can resist fungal growth, whereas PVC roofing is more flexible and chemical resistant. When deciding what is the best single ply roofing system, it will depend on your personal preferences, as well as budget.
Single Ply Roofing Pros and Cons
Is Single Ply Roofing the Best Material for You?
Do you think that single ply roofing might be the best roofing option for your building? Understanding the different single ply roofing materials can offer you is great, but its also important to know the general pro and cons for single ply roofs. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of having a single ply roof.
Single Ply Roof Pros
- Long-Lasting: How long does single ply roofing last? Depending on what material you choose, your single ply roof can last 25 to 50 years.
- Lightweight: The material is incredibly lightweight, which means it won't add any extra weight to the structure of your building.
- Energy-Efficient: Because of the material that is used, as well as the color, single ply roofs are very energy-efficient.
- Flexible: Since the material is very flexible it is able to work with different size and shape roofs.
- Resistant: The material will also depend on this, but single ply roofs are resistant to UV rays, hail, wind, and chemicals.
Single Ply Roof Cons
- Easily Punctured: While this roof is durable and manufactured to last, it can puncture easily due to being lightweight and flexible.
- Hard to Install Around Roof Penetrations: If there are pipes, vents, or HVAC systems on your roof, it can be hard to install single ply roofing around them.
- UV Damage: This really applies to certain types of single ply roofing, but if a single ply roof is exposed to UV rays for a long period of time, it can start to adhesive for the seams.
- Roof Seams Can Leak: Roofers take extra care to ensure the seams do not get infiltrated with water, but it can still happen on occasion.
Just like when you have HVAC repairs, you wouldn't go to anyone but an HVAC technician–the same should be said for installing single ply roofing, you will need to contact a roofer who has the experience and skills to install this type of roof. If you need single ply roofing in Sparks, NV, contact the roofing contractors at Alpine Roofing Co. today at 775.358.7663! We are ready to work with you!

The classic rally series takes you on a racing adventure through tracks in New Zealand, Argentina, Spain, Poland, Australia and the USA, with over 50 cars to wreck/win with. This instalment leans into the idea of playing the long game with track deformation that degrades the course and changes grip as you race. And car damage carries over from event to event meaning you'll need to really master the 'My Team' mode to hire specialists to keep you in the running, as well as tune your car to perfection.

Infants's dishes have their own laws.Boiled or steamed raw vegetables cooked in a double boiler or in a small capacity of aqua differ rich tasting, and consistency of your tender. Besides, when such processing is correct preserved vitamins. In no case did not saute, even dressing for bisque or borscht.Without salt and saccharose in all foods possess any of these organic ingredients, how teach the child to a natural tasting. But we can safely add to the soup or puree - however it's a little bit of oil.

We are back - with a vengeance: Into the Dark, Into the Ice & Father's Island!
After long and slowed-down developments, Homegrown Games is proud to present the latest releases:
Our first own Steam release got its final update - almost 10 years after we had the first idea, almost 8 years after the first release of something playable here and 4.5 years after its Steam release. So what's in there?
- Full "Into the Dark" game
- Including full length "Night of the Living Dead" in the in-game cinema
- Halloween Asylum level from 2015
- Into Ice Level 3 Work in progress from 2017
- Into the Ice AI test level from November 2018
- Savegame before outro in the last slot
- Savegame before cutscene 1, one slot before the last one
With those improvements:
- Re-rendered all video cutscenes with better sound quality
- Improved the surface shading
- Added a post-credits scene
- Fixed the specularity artifacts
- Replaced the ugliest textures with 3D scanned surfaces
- Fixed all known sound bugs on weapons
- Reduced memory consumption by 20-25% and crashes by 60-80%
- Added additional fail-safes against script crashes
- Reconfigured the entire post-processing pipeline
Important: Please uninstall and re-install, instead of updating, to have all changes take place!
Still, keep in mind that this is a game that was first released in 2012, based on a shooter construction kit that was in its core technology from 2003. So basically, we have 15 years old tech trying to look cool.
It is a little bit sad to say farewell to our most successful "own IP game", to the title that got us both harsh criticism, a Jim Sterling rant in full beauty - and several game of the year and other awards.
However, all hands on deck now for the sequel...
"Into the Ice"
...which is heavily delayed, but still progressing. As a matter of fact, you get a little bit more of that now. We wanted to include a full playable slice, but severe AI problems did let us down. We included an AI test...
...in which you can now try to fight against two different AI modules we are testing right now. let us know which one was harder to beat!
And the biggest update, the one we worked the longest on, comes for Father's Island - with the
2018 Halloween Edition of "Father's Island" - or, as we called it in earlier announcements...
Father`s Island 2.0
Because it is based on the DirectX11 upgrade of the underlying Gamemaker "GameGuru", and it mitigates or entirely eliminates all problems you might have had with our original release.
- IMPORTANT: If you have problems updating to this version, please uninstall and reinstall Father`s Island. Actually, we recommend uninstalling and a fresh install anyway! -
- DirectX11 based
- Loading times reduced by 30 - 75%, depending on the system
- Load only once per session: Smart respawn system
- 2 new video scenes
- 3 new posters
- 2 new side stories in letters
- Full PBR support
- 37 assets converted to true PBR
- Multi-Level vertex painted terrain
- Advanced atmosphere light scattering
- Fixed some minor bugs and logic issues
- Fixed the summoning of the Dragon
Possible Troubleshooting:
- After you hit the "Start Game" button, just leave your system loading. Even if the game seems unresponsive, it will load (don`t cancel or quit)
- If the level fails to load (or an error message appears), open the setup.ini in the installation folder and set "dividetexturesize=1" to "dividetexturesize=4"
- If Steam keeps reinstalling /or verifying over and over again, please uninstall and reinstall
- If you find it too dark / bright / red / whatever, you can adjust ALL rendering options by editing the visuals.ini file!!
So what's next?
Into the Ice, of course - stay tuned!

Conran works on range for JCPenney
Terence Conran is designing a new collection of homewares for US department store JCPenney.
The range, by Conran & Company and called Design by Conran, will be sold in about 300 of the stores and online from spring next year.
Jill Webb, brand development director at Conran & Company, says, 'Working with JCPenney we believe we have the opportunity to fill a key gap within their home offer, delivering the easy-living style of life for which Conran has become famous with a distinct hint of British charm.'
The range of furniture, upholstery, lighting, textiles and accessories will be created in collaboration with JCPenney product developers.
Terence Conran says, 'It is an incredibly exciting time for us to be working with JCPenney as they embark on a huge wave of change under the excellent Ron Johnson [JCPenney chief executive].
'The collaboration is also a great boost for British design in a significant market and gives our design team the opportunity to create a truly democratic collection of exceptional quality. Personally it is a dream come true to make our work available to a huge and knowledgeable audience of design enthusiasts across America.'
The Conran range will be sold as part of JCPenney's forthcoming Home World sections, which will sell pieces by designers including Martha Stewart, Jonathan Adler, Michael Graves and Bodum.
Each Home World section will be housed within a new installation space measuring anything from 19 – 200 square metres.
Conran developed a range of contemporary homeware for Marks & Spencer last year.
