Product recalls have always loomed large as a risk that can be deeply damaging, even terminal, to some corporations. Perhaps most famously in recent times was Volkswagen's worldwide repair of 11 million diesel vehicles so that their emissions systems would comply with pollution regulations.
The cost of this recall? Somewhere in the region of $34bn, according to reports.
The damaging effects of such drastic actions are not just short-term and financial either, nor does the product recall need to be for particularly petrifying reasons (like last year's recall of children's crayons from China for containing asbestos).
Take the mineral water giant, Perrier. In the early 1990s, Perrier was the leading water brand in a growing market.
Then, in 1992, it was discovered that some bottles had miniscule quantities of benzene, with no impact on human health. Perrier recalled 160 million bottles from 120 countries at a cost of more than $250m.
Despite not a single illness from the scare, by 1995, sales of Perrier water had fallen to half of their 1989 peak.
The Perrier recall was before the widespread use of the internet and well before the advent of social media, while the delivery of products and information has been changed forever by the maturity of new technologies.
So, what are some of the new, and sometimes hidden, issues in the supply chain that have been caused by the rise in electronics and other technological advances?
"There is an increasing trend for producers of products to look to suppliers to recoup recall costs," says Angela Kelly, head casualty Asia-Pacific, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions.
Kelly says raw material producers tended to hold the view that they were protected from recall costs recouping because it is too difficult for them to be identified accurately. Not any more, however.
"In the context of technology in the automotive industry, there is an increasing trend towards platform standardisation, and sharing this can result in higher recall costs – because if there is an issue with one platform, it can impact a higher number of vehicles across numerous brands," notes Kelly.
She says the key issues for food and beverage and auto companies – today and moving forward – include the impact of globalisation, increased traceability for recalls, reputation issues (particularly around social media), cost management, crisis management and regulatory developments.
Peter Jackson, director, Asia region, multi-national clients, Lockton Insurance Brokers, adds that some of the new recall risks are around "dependencies", such as suppliers being dependent on IT systems, third-party IT cloud suppliers and third-party logistics systems.
"Risk has been delegated, but it is not necessarily understood either what those risks are, or who is responsible for managing them," he says.
Jackson says businesses could be using new technologies, such as 3D printing, drones and driverless vehicles, and are facing new risks from those technologies that are not yet fully apparent.
"It is not uncommon for risk managers to have a view that since they are at the very beginning of the supply chain, a recall claim will not happen to them," Kelly says.
Jackson says that the attitude of risk managers depends on whether or not they have experienced a major recall event. If not, there is a danger of complacency.
"This is consistent with other risks. Companies tend to be less concerned about risks they haven't experienced, which doesn't make sense when you think about it," he explains.
Gordon Song, head, group risk and internal audit, Lazada Group, says the firm recently invested some time in coming up with a product recall plan.
"One challenge today is changes in distribution business models, especially with ecommerce.
"The question of who is liable for the product is fuzzier and the laws for ecommerce and consumer protection are not geared for this," he says.
Another challenge for product recalls in Asia over the next 10 years is the increased focus by authorities.
RQA Group managing director Vince Shiers says food safety authorities in this part of the world are following their US and European counterparts in increasing regulatory oversight.
"For example, 2015 saw the new Food Safety Law from the People's Republic of China, which emphasises food safety requirements and includes requirements for online retailers," he says.
Notification of recalls to the public is also now commonplace in some Asian countries. For example, the Singapore Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has an excellent real-time listing of food product recalls.
With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) – the network connectivity of physical devices, vehicles, buildings – product recall risks take on other forms.
"Take vehicles, for example," Swiss Re's Angela Kelly says of IoT. "It is now possible for vehicle manufacturers to remotely fix a problem within a vehicle operating system without the need to replace parts or inconvenience consumers with having to physically return the vehicle.


Sunday night in Ibiza, its different to anywhere else in the world. The sunset strip of San Antonio is vibrant and full of life from early evening, as people gather for the best view they can find for the sunset at the the turn of another lucky day. Whether out on the water in front of the strip, chilling on boats for the special moment, down on the rocks with beers in a bag from a nearby shop, or seated at one of the sunset strips famous terrace of restaurants, whichever experience one chooses, everyone is here for the same reason. We come together to celebrate another great day passing and the beginning of a night of adventure into the unknown that lies ahead. The sunset moment and applause gives us a chance to stop and give thanks to the sun, the earth, the full moon and our friends enjoying this Lucky Life with us.
Upstairs at Cafe del Mar, with a nicely elevated view of the magical moment over the ocean, the Lucky Life Music crew took over the soundtrack from sunset till close with their Flamingo Domingo party, showcasing label artists Ben Fhurst, Trevor O'Neil, Rufus White and KHUBU.
We were joined by a great show of friends, some old, some new. One thing did stand out, the South Africans were out in force once again. From label artist KHUBU, back on the scene and taking on the decks right from sunset with a great welcome back soundtrack, to our crew of 7 friends (Thanks Malik) visiting from Cape Town, most for their first time on the island, and of course, our local Ibiza South African family joined us for a good night of food, drinks, great music and conversations at Cafe del Mar while enjoying the sun go down and the moon later rising up. The Follow Us family also joined us for the night as we set plans in place for our next event at Sankeys this August.
A great mix (pardon the pun!) of music was played through the night. Trev played a nice funky set, Ben always managing to bring out some unexpected but perfect selections, and even though Cafe del Mar is more of a 'soundtrack to the sunset' chill session, Rufus still managed to get his own dancefloor going during his set. By the end, not everyone was ready for bed, and neither were the DJ's, so Trev and Rufus continued on well past closing time with a nice little back to back session.
Listen here to Rufus White's set & his back to back session with Trevor O'Neil.
Thanks to Kalon Films for coming down and getting some lovely photos and a little recap of the night for us to keep and share with those who couldn't be there.

NBA Game Time for iPad Adds 'Classic Videos' Section, But Only for League Pass Subscribers
February 27, 2014 Patrick Jordan
The NBA Game Time for iPad 2013-2014 app was updated again yesterday, adding a superb looking new section titled 'Classic Games'.
The new section, as the name suggests, features videos from some classic NBA games from past decades. There are currently around 20 videos in the section, ranging from one from the 1960s (Celtics vs. Lakers) to a couple from the year 2001.
Just looking at some of the players and the moments featured in these is a great walk down NBA Memory Lane. Kareem when he was still Lew Alcindor; Oscar Robertson; an ABA dunk contest; an All-Star game where Magic has over 20 assists, playoff battles; a dominant performance by Charles Barkley, and more.
Unfortunately, access to the new section requires that you have an NBA League Pass. I was hopeful that the 'Mobile' level League Pass (priced at $27) might be enough to get the feature – but it turns out that will only get you access on an iPhone or Android phone. For the iPad, Android tablets, or a computer you need a 'Broadband' League Pass, starting at $65.
That seems quite a big premium for the step-up from phone to tablet viewing. Too steep for me, much as I love those old games.

PG&E eyed S.F. exit for years before downtown Oakland tower deal: court records
$892 million downtown Oakland deal includes $420 million purchase price for Oakland tower
300 Lakeside Drive office tower in downtown Oakland, the proposed site of PG&E's future corporate headquarters. PG&E sought for years to find ways to exit its inefficient San Francisco headquarters complex and transplant its head offices to the East Bay before striking a deal for a downtown Oakland office tower, bankruptcy court records show.
By GEORGE AVALOS | gavalos@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: June 15, 2020 at 5:45 a.m. | UPDATED: June 15, 2020 at 8:57 a.m.
OAKLAND — PG&E sought for years to find ways to exit its inefficient San Francisco headquarters complex and transplant its offices to the East Bay before finally striking a deal for a downtown Oakland office tower, bankruptcy court records show.
Court documents also reveal PG&E's official estimate for the number of workers the utility expects to deploy to the new Oakland headquarters: 4,500.
PG&E's deal for a lease with an option to buy a 28-story office tower perched on the shores of Lake Merritt is intricate, according to documents in PG&E's $58 billion bankruptcy case that's now in its final days.
Yet it appears the deal is a win for PG&E customers, the utility, and for TMG Partners, the veteran developer that intends to ultimately lease and sell the highrise to PG&E.
"For PG&E ratepayers, it's a smart deal for the company to make. For TMG, it's a brilliant deal," said Edward Del Beccaro, an executive vice president with TRI Commercial/CORFAC International, and Bay Area managing director for the commercial real estate firm.
The utility's deal for the downtown Oakland office tower includes a base rent of $57 a square foot per year, which works out to $4.75 a month per square foot, U.S. Bankruptcy Court files show.
"That rental rate is very low for downtown Oakland office space," Del Beccaro said. "I would have predicted it would have been $70 a square foot per year."
PG&E is poised to shell out up to $892 million if the utility buys the 300 Lakeside Drive tower, which totals 910,000 square feet, from TMG Partners.
The $892 million is an over-arching "all-in cost" with several components. Court files state the elements are: $420 million as the basic purchase price to acquire the office tower; $141 million for required code improvements and building improvement costs; $171 million for development fees, carrying costs, and transaction fees and expenses; and $160 million in allowances for custom-tailored tenant improvements that include technology systems, security, floor arrangements, and seismic work. These work out to $230 a rentable square foot.
Since the early 2000s, PG&E has been mulling what to do with the San Francisco office buildings, executives stated in court records.
"Many of the utility's (headquarters office complex) employees commute to San Francisco from the East Bay area, where the cost of living is far more affordable than in downtown San Francisco," PG&E said in a court filing.
Plus, the San Francisco headquarters complex has become steadily more expensive to operate.
"The costs of maintaining a headquarters in San Francisco have continued to increase due to both the growth of the local real estate market and significant costs PG&E would face to upgrade and maintain the San Francisco office complex," the utility stated in court documents.
By early 2018, PG&E intensified its efforts to extract cash from the San Francisco properties and hired TMG to evaluate the company's real estate prospects in San Francisco and the East Bay. In September 2018, PG&E tasked TMG with finding an East Bay site for the future headquarters, bankruptcy papers show.
"The utility most recently began evaluating a number of specific options to monetize the San Francisco General Office headquarters complex, including a full or partial sale of the San Francisco offices, in early 2018," PG&E stated in the bankruptcy court records.
The PG&E office complex in San Francisco consists of 77 Beale St., 215 Market St., 245 Market St., and 45 Beale St., court records show.
TMG and PG&E scouted an array of East Bay sites, including the Bishop Ranch business park in San Ramon and a portion of the redevelopment project at the Concord Naval Weapons Station. No deal materialized.
"By mid-2019, PG&E had been unable to locate a satisfactory property in the East Bay area that could meet the utility's various business needs," the court records stated.
PG&E pondered selling 77 Beale St. and moving workers into 245 Market St., or the reverse. But 245 Market was deemed too small, and 77 Beale was too large.
Then came a break. In November 2019, realty firms Swig Co. and Rockpoint Group put on the block the 300 Lakeside Drive tower along with an adjacent mixed-use office building and a big parking garage.
Well aware of PG&E's unrequited ardor for a new East Bay headquarters, TMG raced to make Swig and Rockpoint an offer.
"The utility quickly investigated and determined that the Lakeside Building would provide significantly greater economic benefits" than retaining a San Francisco headquarters. the court papers stated.
In January 2020, PG&E agreed to a deal for 300 Lakeside. A month later, Swig and Rockpoint picked TMG as the buyer of the tower, the mixed-use building, and the parking garage.
TMG negotiated a purchase of the complex while well aware PG&E was waiting in the wings as a 300 Lakeside tenant after the departures of tenants BART and the University of California Office of the President.
"PG&E intends to use the Lakeside Building as its new company headquarters, where it can consolidate approximately 4,500 employees currently located in San Francisco and at least two satellite offices in the East Bay," the court records state. The East Bay sites are in Concord and San Ramon.
The 300 Lakeside renovations are slated to start in 2022.
"It is currently anticipated 3,200 employees will be relocated to the Lakeside Building by early 2023, approximately 600 employees in 2025, with the balance of the space to be made available for an additional 600 employees beginning in 2026," the bankruptcy files stated.
TMG, after selling the tower to PG&E, would retain the parking garage and smaller mixed-use building. Those sites have a large enough footprint that they could be developed into one or more towers.
Obstacles remain. TMG must buy the site. A bankruptcy judge must grant approval. PG&E's track record of a string of fatal disasters that include an explosion and wildfires creates uncertainty.
"You can't always predict what will happen with PG&E," Del Beccaro said.

Red. It should never be overused. I've had a red Ralph Lauren Polo shirt for 15 years that I simply can't throw out, even though I only wear it four times a year. I need to be in a certain mood and I can't for the life of me, figure out when or what that mood it is.
But red stands out. It's a statement. Albeit an elegant one.
Whether gloves or noctural heels.
A Cycle Chic classic, from February 7, 2007.
But the one with the tan bag and the red gloves is in a league of its own!
I love those red gloves. I actually have a pair of red gloves from Italy, but the insides of the fingers are different colors. You definitely have to be in the mood to stand out (in a good way) when you wear red!
red is so sexxxxxy! i just bought a red straw hat so i can show off this weekend....watch out now!

The AUPL defending champions KCCA FC's battle in the CAF Champions League round of 32 leg 1 of 2 against African Champions Mamelodi ended up unwell for the Ugandan side. At the Lucas Moripe Stadium, home side Mamelodi scored two vital goals within seven minutes but later on KCCA grabbed an away goal which could help in the return leg.
Bangaly Soumahoro scored the first goal and Ricardo Nascimento scored the second with a penalty as Leonardo Castro's header was cancelled. 33 years old Veteran striker Geofrey Sserunkuma grabbed an away goal for the visitors making the scores 2 – 1. According to Coach Pitso Mosimane, they blame themselves for not scoring good margin goals.
He also was of the view that, Castro's goal was clear and shouldn't have been cancelled. Many Downs fans online have little hope in the African champions because the last season, their breakthrough to the next stage was by disqualification of other teams due to some reasons. However the return leg will be played between the two teams next week on Saturday in KCCA's home ground Philip Omondi Stadium, Kampala and Downs is expected to prove critics wrong.

Emmy nominations: Did they get it right?
Posted on July 19, 2013 | Comments Off on Emmy nominations: Did they get it right?
Emmy nominations were announced this morning so you've probably been waiting all day to hear my take on who's been named among the best in TV. Many of my favorites were recognized, but– as always– there were some snubs that had TV critics and fans clucking on social media all day.
A complete list of the nominations can be found here so you can follow along as the drama unfolds.
There were some interesting headlines:
–Netflix received 14 nominations, including best drama for House of Cards, Kevin Spacey for best lead actor, and Robin Wright for best lead actress for the show. Jason Bateman also got a nod for his turn in the new season of Arrested Development. Pretty impressive for a non network that just started putting out content.
–HBO did well with 108 nominations for its shows and original movies. The acclaimed Behind the Candelabra, starring Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his young lover, received many nods including best mini series or movie, which puts it up against the widely watched mini-series The Bible on the History Channel. Certainly very different audiences.
—Saturday Night Live got 15 nominations– including the amazing Kristin Wiig for all her crazy characters– which broke the record for most nominations ever (171!) over the course of its 38-year run. (Fun fact: next highest nominated shows of all time are ER and Cheers. Remember when NBC ruled the world?)
— Just as last year, the major networks got nada in the best drama category, losing out to cable channels and Netflix, proving how much the model of successful TV has changed.
As for individual players, there were few pleasant surprises but you can't make everyone happy.
Fans of The Good Wife were disappointed that Julianna Margulies got left off the best actress list, but if you watch Scandal, you'll probably be cheering for it-girl Kerry Washington.
Merritt Wever as Zoey on "Nurse Jackie"/Showtime
Once again, I'm pulling for Merritt Wever for best supporting actress in Nurse Jackie. No one makes me laugh or rewind more. She owns that character and makes that show. She's a dark horse because few watch it and she's up against the gorgeous and talented Modern Family ladies and Gleek favorite Jane Lynch, but I'm dreaming big for Merritt.
Although many gave up on The Office in its last season, the series finale was one of the best I've ever seen. Clever, funny and just the right amount of sap to finish off one of the best comedies of all time. I was glad to see the excellent writing got recognized with an Emmy nod for the finale.
Girls got a bunch of nods but I was delighted that Adam Driver snagged a nominaton for playing Hannah's boyfriend, with just the right amount of crazy to be scary and believable.
Snubs that make me want to smash my plasma screen with a remote:
Monica Potter not recognized for her amazing season as the cancer-stricken mom who can do it all on Parenthood? Those hospital scenes had Emmy written all over them. She's one of the reasons that show is appointment crying! Really Academy?! Despicable.
And let's not even talk about forgetting Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson and Zooey Deschanel for New Girl. It's every bit as funny– and arguably more hip– than Modern Family, yet no love in the best comedy category either. It aint right!!
Instead, up for best comedy are these shows:
The Big Bang Theory /CBS
Girls /HBO
Louie/FX Networks
Modern Family /ABC
30 Rock/NBC
Veep/HBO
I'm curious about Veep and Louie. Tried them each once and wasn't bowled over but maybe worth another look. I vote for Girls because Modern Family has won several times already and nobody likes an Emmy hog.
I'm at a disadvantage in the Best Drama category because I don't watch all the shows:
Breaking Bad/AMC
Downton Abbey/PBS
Game of Thrones/HBO
Homeland/Showtime
House of Cards/Netflix
Wilson and I have been plowing through seasons 1 and 2 of Downton Abbey and as soon as we're done, we're moving on to Breaking Bad. But as much as I adore a Granny Violet zinger on Downton, and the creative terror plot intrigue of Homeland, there just can't be any show as consistently good as Mad Men. The writing is as tight as Joan's dresses, the characters as rich as Roger Sterling. Everything from the music and opening credits to the art direction and costumes is perfection. I'm not saying I always understand it, but I'm riveted, transported in time, and sorry when it's over. Every single episode.
Who's a shoe-in? Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess of Grantham on Downton Abbey.
Everyone else will just have to wait until September 22nd, when the Emmy winners will be announced on CBS.

Book 196: The Lady of the Rivers
"Through the night we hear the clatter of hooves down the village street, and occasional shouts. The girl, the woman, and I cower like frightened children together: this is what it is like to live in a country at war. There is nothing of the grace of the joust or even the inspiration of great principles—it is about being a poor woman hearing a detachment of horse thunder down your street and praying they do not stop to hammer on your frail door."
Dates read: December 15-19, 2017
When people talk about the history of marriage (a subject I find really interesting), they tend to talk about how the idea of marrying for love is relatively recent. Which is mostly true! Most marriages until just the last couple of generations were at least partially arranged by family. This has some advantages (like fostering stronger social connections within communities), as well as some obvious disadvantages (like getting stuck with someone you might not necessarily even like, much less love, for the rest of your life). But the idea that love matches never happened isn't exactly true, either.
There were two love matches, in fact, that were influential in the English Wars of the Roses. In one, Queen Catherine, widow of King Henry V, married a Welsh commoner and her grandson from that union became King Henry VII. In the other, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, who had been married to King Henry V's brother briefly before his death, secretly married one of the knights of her deceased husband's household, Richard Woodville. This productive marriage (they had 14 children, including future Queen Consort Elizabeth) is explored in Philippa Gregory's third novel in her Cousin's War series, The Lady of the Rivers. As is relatively common with Gregory's historical fiction, this book isn't the first in the series, but does take place first in the timeline, so while it explores much of Jacquetta's life, it ends where the first book written (The White Queen) begins.
Gregory begins Jacquetta's story with a meeting between our heroine and Joan of Arc as pre-teens, while Joan is being held by Jacquetta's uncle. This is used to establish the plot device of Jacquetta's family's claim to be descended from water goddess Melusina, and set up Jacquetta's interest in fortune-telling, primarily through tarot cards. When Jacquetta grows up, she's married off to much-older John, the Duke of Bedford and brother to the King of England. Gregory paints this marriage as never consummated...the Duke is mostly interested in using Jacquetta to further his interest in alchemy and believes she must remain virginal to do so. They never develop much of a relationship, but she does develop a big old crush on her husband's chamberlain, a handsome young knight called Richard Woodville. When John dies, she and Richard wed...in secret, at first, because technically Jacquetta needs the Crown's permission to remarry and knows they'll never allow the match.
From there, Jacquetta and John join the English Court, under the rule of Henry VI and his high-spirited French bride, Margaret of Anjou. Jacquetta becomes Margaret's maid of honor and closest friend, and is by her side through most of the events of the early period of the Wars of the Roses...at least, when she's not having children, because she's basically constantly pregnant. She tries to protect the Lancastrian Royal Couple from themselves (pious, timid Henry lets powerful-minded nobles run him roughshod and drain the royal treasury, and his lack of marital attentions to his lively wife leads to an affair), only to mostly be unsuccessful. When her husband is captured in battle with the Yorks and has to swear to set down arms against them to be freed, Jacquetta is relieved to leave Court behind and settle down to life as country gentry...until, of course, her oldest daughter Elizabeth comes to the door hand-in-hand with Yorkist King Edward.
Since this book provides much of the backstory for The White Queen, I was afraid it would be just as immersed in the kind of silly mysticalism that's all over the previous book and made it so hard for me to enjoy it. Happily, though, there's much less of that in here, and it's integrated into the plot in a way that feels organic. My biggest issue with The Lady of the Rivers is that Jacquetta herself is a fairly passive character who mostly reacts to the events around her. Margaret of Anjou is the one who drives them, and I kind of wish she'd been the protagonist instead, because she seemed BONKERS in a delightfully dramatic kind of way.
Look, I like Philippa Gregory's books. I don't think they're super high quality, but they're enjoyable to read and as much as I like to be pretentious about my taste in novels, sometimes something that's fun and easy doesn't have to be more than that. But if you've read her work before, you know what you're getting into: high drama and questionable historical sourcing. Sometimes they're a little better, sometimes they're a little worse. This falls on the mid-point for me...it's fine. It's not amazing, it's not terrible. I liked reading it and I'd read it again if I do a read-through of the whole Plantagenet-Tudor cycle like I'm planning on one day. I'd recommend it if you like Gregory's work, but if historical fiction is not your thing, it's not unmissable by any means.

Canada-based solar company at it again: Different location, same solar scam, only this t...
Huawei lays off some staff, shuts down solar inverter business in the U.S
Huawei had intended to expand its single-phase, residential inverter business to the U.S market, but those plans got tangled up in the diplomatic standoff
By Editorial Team June 26, 2019 0
Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. is a Chinese multinational conglomerate which specialises in telecommunications equipment, consumer electronics and technology-based services and products, headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
Huawei's solar equipment makes up about 4 percent of the U.S market and more than 20 percent of sales worldwide.
The Financial Times reports that "Huawei has closed down its fast-growing but controversial solar energy business in the U.S as it continues to battle criticism from both the Trump administration and politicians in Congress."
A company spokesperson told the Financial Times: "Over the past several months, we have been compelled to make moves to more closely align our business strategy with the unwelcoming climate being fostered in the United States. After careful review of our operations in the United States, we have made the tough decision to eliminate several positions within our U.S representative office."
Other reports confirm the company had moved to lay off or transfer some of its U.S workforce, while maintaining some technical support and warranty staff.
Preliminary figures from Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables put Huawei's global market share at 22 percent in 2018, the highest of any company.
Huawei had intended to expand its single-phase, residential inverter business to the U.S market, but those plans got tangled up in the diplomatic standoff.
Enphase and SolarEdge, two rival suppliers of inverters for the U.S. residential market, are most likely to see a positive impact from a Huawei pullback, reports GreenTech Media.

Hacked: How hackers gained access to the networks of millions of Indian households
An Indian company has hacked into the networks and email of millions and used the data to create a 'banking' app.
The app was allegedly launched on the pretext of making money.
The data was stolen by hackers in December.
The attack came on the heels of an attack on a popular Indian website which exposed the data of more than 5.5 million users and a leak of the names, addresses and mobile phone numbers of hundreds of thousands of people.
The data breach comes after an incident in which a group of hackers stole sensitive data from a number of banks.
India's cybercrime unit is investigating the attack.

As a recent graduate looking for your first role, you're probably following all the standard graduate job hunting advice. You're updating that all important CV, meeting with a specialist recruiter, finessing your online professional profiles, and searching job sites for roles which might be right for you.
However, there are some pearls of wisdom you may not have heard of before, but which could be the key to helping you find your first graduate job – a job that will be a catapult for your future career.
At the moment, you may be doing what many other graduates do in your position – focusing your job search on roles which clearly reflect your degree course or previous work experience; because you think these are most relevant to you and your skills.
The truth is, you don't need to be pigeon holed by your degree. For instance, just because you have a degree in psychology, that doesn't mean you should apply only for psychology jobs. You could instead consider roles where elements of this degree could be useful, for instance human resources or teaching. In actual fact, you most likely have a wider range of hidden skills, which deem you suitable for roles you hadn't considered before.
So, think about positive feedback you were given at school, university, in part time jobs, and even by your friends. Take online aptitude tests to help reveal your best qualities. Write down what you believe your key strengths to be, add these to your CV, and use these as key words when you search on job sites, as well as when you speak to your recruiter.
My point here is that you shouldn't silo your job search. You are suited to more roles than you think; you just need to discover what these are.
You can add valuable experience to your CV: Thanks to the short-term nature of temp roles, you will have clear objectives which will need to be met over a short period of time. Meet these objectives, and you have some quick wins to add to your CV, whilst developing your own skill-set.
You find out what you enjoy doing: By temping, you can get a feel for what you do and don't like doing, steering you closer towards what you want from a permanent role.
You are able to expand your network: If you make the most of your temp assignment, you can build your professional network, forming long lasting, valuable connections.
You build your confidence: A temporary assignment will get you out of your comfort zone and each success will lift your confidence.
In short, don't consider only permanent roles. Open up your mind to temp work – as this can really kick start a graduate's career. Temp roles can help equip you for the world of work, providing you with some valuable experience, skills and connections, all of which will set you apart from the competition.
Big brand names can look great on a CV, and many will offer brilliant entry level graduate positions. Don't, however, dismiss smaller, lesser known companies when job searching.
Companies which are smaller in size are often less bureaucratic. You will therefore have more autonomy than you would have in larger organisations, with a greater possibility of pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone and finding stretch opportunities within your role.
By starting your career in a smaller business, you will also have more accessibility to senior management, giving you the opportunity to build some key relationships which may work in your favour later down the line.
In short, working for a smaller business can really give your career the boost it needs during its infancy. So, don't just focus your graduate job search on big brands.
Upskill yourself: As a recent graduate who has spent several years in academia, your CV may be lacking in professional expertise. As much as many hiring managers will understand this, there's no harm in giving yourself a competitive edge by taking the initiative to increase your skill-set. Apply for internships, volunteer at charities, take some online courses, or start your own blog. Whatever you choose to take on, make sure you are constantly finding ways to add value to your CV.
Expand your network: Meeting with a recruiter is a great way to build your professional network. However, you should also use your online professional profiles to reach out to others; from getting involved in industry discussions, to sharing news and blogs with your network. You should also attend relevant networking events and seminars to get some more face-to-face interaction with potential connections. If you can, get hold of the attendee list ahead of the event, and ask the host to make introductions.
Get interview ready: Again, having spent several years in academia, you may be slightly unfamiliar or at the very least, rusty, when it comes to job interviews. Hopefully it won't be long until you get a phone call inviting you in for an interview, so use this in-between period to brush up on the latest interview techniques, from answering competency based questions, to how to tackle those trickier ones, such as "tell me about a time you failed." Practice answering interview questions with friends, family, or your recruiter, so that you feel poised and confident when the time comes.
Periods of unemployment can take their toll on anybody's well-being, especially a recent graduate going through the transition of student to job seeker, working hard to find their first graduate job.
It is therefore important that you maintain a routine so you stay upbeat and motivated. Get up early and fill your days with productive activity such as job searching, upskilling and networking. Having said that, make sure you take regular breaks to do what you enjoy doing, from seeing friends, to pursuing hobbies and interests. Exercise is also a great way of relieving the stress of finding your first graduate job, and something I highly recommend.
Lastly, don't compare yourself to your peers, especially if they have already found work. I still remember that fear of not finding a job after graduation and getting left behind. I wish I had realised how many other people felt exactly the same. Just have faith that you are doing the best you can, you simply haven't found the right opportunity for you yet, but that's no need to give up or lose hope.

The paper presents a cautious and robust ap- proach for data driven control synthesis. It proposes to parame- terize a closed-loop LTI output predictor by Least Squares (LS) estimated and stochastically uncertain Markov parameters, completely characterizable by measured input and output (I/O) data. Direct embedding of I/O data, carrying uncertain Markov parameter information, into the robust infinite horizon controller design method does not only guarantee mean square stability of the closed-loop system under stochastic model uncertainties, but also reject the effect of disturbance term over a pre-defined performance output. Example shows the effectiveness of the elaborated method.

Q: Programmatically configure LogBack appender I have a logback appender defined in the logback.xml, it's a DB appender, but I'm curious if there is any way to configure the appender in java using my own connection pool defined as a bean.
I find similar things, but never the actual answer.

A: Just, if somebody would looking for a concrete example of programmatic configuration.
Here I setup the charset of ConsoleAppender:
LoggerContext lc = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
ConsoleAppender<ILoggingEvent> appender =
    (ConsoleAppender) lc.getLogger("appconsole").getAppender("STDOUT");
LayoutWrappingEncoder<ILoggingEvent> enc =
    (LayoutWrappingEncoder<ILoggingEvent>) appender.getEncoder();
enc.setCharset(Charset.forName("utf-8"));

And my logback.xml:
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <encoder>
        <charset>866</charset>
        <pattern>[%level] %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
</appender>

<logger name="appconsole">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</logger>

Why I need programmaticaly configure a logger? Because, I packaging my app (Spring Boot) into a jar file. Consequently Logback.xml file is appear to be hide inside a jar. Though, it is not to be convenient to unpackage and change it. And I do not need any logback.xml file beside my app.jar. I have only app.yaml file which contains all configuration properties for app.

A: In the current versions (logback=1.3.0-alpha16,slf4j=2.0.0-alpha7) you can use SPI to build your configuration programmatically.
You need a text file in your jar with the name: ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.Configurator located in META-INF/services within your jar for Logback to pick it up. The file should contain the full qualified class name of your class that does the initialization.
Then create a class that does the initialization like so:
package example

import java.nio.charset.Charset;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.Level;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.Configurator;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender;
import ch.qos.logback.core.encoder.LayoutWrappingEncoder;
import ch.qos.logback.core.spi.ContextAwareBase;

public class ProgrammaticLoggingConfigurator extends ContextAwareBase implements Configurator {

  @Override
  public void configure(LoggerContext loggerContext) {

    PatternLayout pattern = new PatternLayout();
    pattern.setContext(loggerContext);
    pattern.setPattern("[%level] %msg%n");
    pattern.start();

    LayoutWrappingEncoder<ILoggingEvent> encoder = new LayoutWrappingEncoder<ILoggingEvent>();
    encoder.setContext(loggerContext);
    encoder.setCharset(Charset.forName("utf-8"));
    encoder.setLayout(pattern);

    ConsoleAppender<ILoggingEvent> consoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender<>();
    consoleAppender.setContext(loggerContext);
    consoleAppender.setName("console");
    consoleAppender.setEncoder(encoder);
    consoleAppender.start();

    Logger log = loggerContext.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME);
    log.setAdditive(false);
    log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);
    log.addAppender(consoleAppender);
  }
}

So this example should have a file called ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.Configurator with the content: example.ProgrammaticLoggingConfigurator for it to be picked up.

A: You can configure appenders programmatically. Almost all appenders are tested using programmatic configuration. It follows that there are many examples of programmatic appender configuration in the logback project source code.  For a logback-core appender, look under logback-core/src/test/java, and for a logback-classic appender look under logback-classic/src/test/java.

A: As a reference, when you try to modify code responsible for creating loggers, there is a bunch of rules that must be satisfied in order for a logger to work.
These rules were described in a great and helpful article Programmatic configuration of slf4j/logback:

Now I have experience with programmatic configuration of slf4j/logback.
Task
A program must open separate log file for each processed input file.
Solution for task
Instead of configuring logback via xml, the one needs to "manually" instantiate encoders, appenders and loggers, then configure and link them together.
Caveat 1
Logback goes crazy on attempt to share encoder (i.e. PatternLayoutEncoder) between appenders.
Solution for caveat 1
Create separate encoder for each appender.
Caveat 2
Logback refuses to log anything, if encoders and appenders are not associated with logging context.
Solution for caveat 2
Call setContext on each encoder and appender, passing LoggerFactory
as a parameter.
Caveat 3
Logback refuses to log anything, if encoders and appenders are not started.
Solution for caveat 3
encoders and appenders need to be started in the correct order, i.e. first encoders, then appenders.
Caveat 4
RollingPolicy objects (i.e. TimeBasedRollingPolicy) produce strange error messages like "date format not recognized", when they are not attached to the same context as appender.
Solution for caveat 4
call setContext on RollingPolicy same way as on encoders and appenders.
Here is working example of "manual" logback configuration:

package testpackage

import ch.qos.logback.classic.Level
import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext
import ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder
import ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender
import ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender
import ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy

import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory

class TestLogConfig {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    LoggerContext logCtx = LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();

    PatternLayoutEncoder logEncoder = new PatternLayoutEncoder();
    logEncoder.setContext(logCtx);
    logEncoder.setPattern("%-12date{YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level - %msg%n");
    logEncoder.start();

    ConsoleAppender logConsoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender();
    logConsoleAppender.setContext(logCtx);
    logConsoleAppender.setName("console");
    logConsoleAppender.setEncoder(logEncoder);
    logConsoleAppender.start();

    logEncoder = new PatternLayoutEncoder();
    logEncoder.setContext(logCtx);
    logEncoder.setPattern("%-12date{YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5level - %msg%n");
    logEncoder.start();

    RollingFileAppender logFileAppender = new RollingFileAppender();
    logFileAppender.setContext(logCtx);
    logFileAppender.setName("logFile");
    logFileAppender.setEncoder(logEncoder);
    logFileAppender.setAppend(true);
    logFileAppender.setFile("logs/logfile.log");

    TimeBasedRollingPolicy logFilePolicy = new TimeBasedRollingPolicy();
    logFilePolicy.setContext(logCtx);
    logFilePolicy.setParent(logFileAppender);
    logFilePolicy.setFileNamePattern("logs/logfile-%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH}.log");
    logFilePolicy.setMaxHistory(7);
    logFilePolicy.start();

    logFileAppender.setRollingPolicy(logFilePolicy);
    logFileAppender.start();

    Logger log = logCtx.getLogger("Main");
    log.setAdditive(false);
    log.setLevel(Level.INFO);
    log.addAppender(logConsoleAppender);
    log.addAppender(logFileAppender);
  }
}

A: Here a simple example that works for me (note that I use the FileAppender in this example)
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.Level;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder;
import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender;

public class Loggerutils {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
          Logger foo = createLoggerFor("foo", "foo.log");
          Logger bar = createLoggerFor("bar", "bar.log");
          foo.info("test");
          bar.info("bar");
    }

    private static Logger createLoggerFor(String string, String file) {
          LoggerContext lc = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
          PatternLayoutEncoder ple = new PatternLayoutEncoder();

          ple.setPattern("%date %level [%thread] %logger{10} [%file:%line] %msg%n");
          ple.setContext(lc);
          ple.start();
          FileAppender<ILoggingEvent> fileAppender = new FileAppender<ILoggingEvent>();
          fileAppender.setFile(file);
          fileAppender.setEncoder(ple);
          fileAppender.setContext(lc);
          fileAppender.start();

          Logger logger = (Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger(string);
          logger.addAppender(fileAppender);
          logger.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);
          logger.setAdditive(false); /* set to true if root should log too */

          return logger;
    }

}

A: Not allowed to comment (yet?), I'd just like to add three tips;

*

*regarding the caveats above, if you have problems, just add a call to
StatusPrinter.print(context);

after everything has been configured, that is, after having added your
appenders the root/"Main" appender: it will tell you what is wrong.

*I like very much to separate logging-levels in different files; when looking for errors I begin with looking in the error file and so on, having them set up like

tot_[app name].log   : Level.INFO
deb_[app name].log   : Level.DEBUG
err_[app name].log   : Level.ERROR

routing by means of a simple private filter class such as
    private static class ThresholdLoggerFilter extends Filter<ILoggingEvent> {

        private final Level level;

        private ThresholdLoggerFilter(Level level){
            this.level = level;
        }

        @Override
        public FilterReply decide(ILoggingEvent event) {
            if (event.getLevel().isGreaterOrEqual(level)) {
                return FilterReply.NEUTRAL;
            } else {
                return FilterReply.DENY;
            }
        }
    }

and then just call myFilter.start() and myAppender.addFilter(myFilter);.

*

*Lastly, putting it together, I usually want to be able to change log levels dynamically having the setup implement some simple interface like
public interface LoggingService {
    void setRootLogLevel(Level level);
}

keeping the root logging level in some property-file which is monitored so that whenever there is some valid input there, I just call this service implemented like
    @Override
    public void setRootLogLevel(Level level) {
        if (context != null && context.isStarted()) {
        ((Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME)).setLevel(level);
        }
    }

with my new root logger level.

A: Catch here is that we need to typecast it to ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger and then appenders can be set programmatically.
    import ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger;
    import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
    Logger log = (Logger) LoggerFactory.getLogger(Logger.ROOT_LOGGER_NAME);
            log.addAppender(mockAppender);

Sugar tax is already producing results
Image copyright PA
It will be a major change in health and tax policy. On 6 April the UK will join the small number of countries which have introduced a tax on sugary drinks as part of an anti-obesity policy.
Shoppers will pay 18p or 24p per litre extra depending on how much extra sugar has been added to the drink.
So are retailers and manufacturers in revolt and is the Treasury looking forward to a tax windfall to help prop up the public finances?
The answer, intriguingly, is no to both questions.
Rather than waiting to see how customers react to the tax – known officially as the soft drinks industry levy – companies have already started altering their recipes.
UK pushes ahead with sugar tax
Sugar tax: How will it work?
Sugar tax: Drinks becoming pricier and in smaller bottles
What happens to money raised by sugar tax?
The fine print of Treasury budget documents reveals that the revenue from the levy will be a lot less than was first forecast.
The simple explanation is that there will be fewer drinks than anticipated on sale above the threshold for paying the levy.
When the Chancellor at the time George Osborne announced in 2016 there would be a tax on sugary drinks, the expected revenue was about £500m a year.
A year later the expected yield had fallen to £385m.
In the Budget documents in November 2017 the anticipated figure had dropped again to £275m per year from the launch date in April this year.
Treasury mandarins might be expected to be frustrated that their anticipated tax take has fallen.
But in this case it is being hailed as a success as it reflects the fact that companies have been cutting the sugar content of their products.
The aim of the policy is to reduce consumption of sugar and if companies can do that by changing drink recipes ahead of the levy taking effect then that, so the argument goes, is a good outcome.

Image caption Irn Bru will contain less sugar
The maker of the iconic Scottish drink Irn Bru has stopped making the original full-sugar version.
The sugar content will be cut to just below the levy threshold as part of what the company AG Barr said was part of a "long-standing sugar reduction programme".
The company said it expected 99% of its drinks range, including other brands, to be below the threshold by the time it comes into force.
There has been adverse reaction to the new Irn Bru, however, from some customers who have been stockpiling the original product.
Britvic is another manufacturer to have cut added sugar across its product range.
The company, whose product range includes Robinson's, J2O and Fruit Shoot, has pursued this policy since 2013 and says that by 6 April, 94% of its brand portfolio will be exempt from the sugar levy.
Ribena and Lucozade, owned by the Japanese company Suntory, has also moved to cut sugar.
Peter Harding, chief operating officer, said: "Over the past 16 months, we have reduced the sugar content of our core portfolio by 50%.
"Our nutritionists and research and development team have been working extremely hard to ensure our products still taste great, while containing significantly less sugar."
In simple terms these companies are reacting to their markets.
They don't want their customers to have to fork out more for their favourite soft drinks from 6 April and they also sense people need help doing the "right thing" when shopping for their families.
If shoppers want healthy options then it is in the interest of retailers and manufacturers to supply them.
Shifting opinion
All this comes at a time of shifting opinion in Downing Street.
Theresa May was instinctively against the idea of policies which might be seen as "anti-business" when she became prime minister in July 2016.
The government's childhood obesity strategy was watered down under Mrs May and was widely criticised when it was unveiled in August of that year.
Restrictions on TV advertising of high calorie food and supermarket promotions were not included in the strategy.
But the prime minister and her Downing Street advisers are now understood to be more sympathetic to a bolder anti-obesity plan.
Advertising restrictions are back on the agenda and are being considered – there may be announcements this summer.
Food manufacturers have signed up to a voluntary sugar reformulation plan and accepted a calorie reduction target without complaint and that has emboldened ministers.
How consumers react when full sugar drinks go up in price from 6 April remains to be seen.
But what is already clear is that the proposed levy has had an impact on the content.
And that may spur the government into more action on obesity.

What resources exist for parents of TWI students? Are there conferences that I might enjoy attending?
9. How can I help support my child in doing homework in the second language, particularly if I don�t know that language? What kind of homework support can the program provide?
Parents can support students at home by making sure that they have the right environment and tools to get homework done (e.g., a quiet space and enough time, paper, dictionaries in both languages, writing utensils, and art supplies such as construction paper, paste, tape, and colored makers). Parents can also ask questions about the homework in the language spoken at home, thus giving the students opportunities to explain the assignment in their first language.
The program can also provide homework support. One of the best supports is ongoing communication between the teacher and the parents through a weekly newsletter in both languages. In the newsletter, the teacher can describe the topics that are being taught and provide an overview of homework assignments for the week, along with written guidance for complicated assignments (and perhaps some models of completed assignments). Teachers can also set up a class buddy system, matching an English-speaking student with a student speaking the other program language to help one another with homework. Yet another way that the program can provide homework support is by running an after-school homework club where students can receive support on long-term projects or on a daily basis.
Finally, the program can organize a homework hotline or a group of parent volunteers to provide homework support in one language or another, by telephone or email. Alternately, the teacher or parent volunteers could tape-record the homework each day along with helpful suggestions for completing it.


Recently I spoke with Slack - the workplace messaging platform - about new features and plans for the future and there's a lot planned - full disclosure I am a regular Slack user with clients (although I do use Slack competitors too). Launching in 2014, Slack is doing well in a busy market (raised $540m from big VCs/8m daily users as of May/3m of which pay/invested in 11 companies) against some pretty big competitors (Facebook), partly down to first mover advantage but also because of the +1000 apps that make it flexible for users to customise the platform for its workers. Whether it is ordering lunch, flash polls, ordering an Uber or quizzing a new employee to make onboarding faster, Slack has an app for that.
The challenge most businesses face is how to evaluate employee satisfaction without creating tedious new HR processes. This is where Leo comes in. Leo allows managers to ask a simple set of questions on employee satisfaction each week. Answers are then collected anonymously and are shared in a private channel - a separate conversation which can simply include the relevant team leaders - for management to review and action. It's a simple and effective way to measure employee happiness, installations for Leo are up 60% in the UK in the past six weeks.
Response times for customer enquiries can make or break a business, especially when things go wrong. In times of crisis, coordinating a response and resolving an issue quickly and effectively are key. To streamline this process, more and more businesses are relying on agile incident management platforms like PagerDuty, which has seen a 58% increase in downloads in the UK over the past six weeks. It brings together various sources - monitoring application performance, infrastructure health, and incident response - into one centralised view and then send out alerts when something doesn't look right. This gives businesses a head start to fix issues before customers might even notice them.
Coding is complex. Communicating about coding even more so. The newest version of the Bitbucket integration for Slack — which pulls alerts from code repositories into channels, complete with contextual information — allows coders to effectively and efficiently collaborate with their teammates. There was clearly high-demand for a smarter way to collaborate, as this newly-released version of the app has seen a 788% increase in downloads over the past six weeks. The ability to receive notifications on whether a pull request has been approved or if a build is finished is helping to drive efficiencies. And, if coders are still waiting on someone, the app allows you to drop the hold-up a nudge, tied directly to a pull request. Goodbye passive-aggressive emails, farewell not-so-subtle post-it notes, and hello to more productive coding!
While there are much smarter and more efficient ways to communicate with colleagues, suppliers and clients these days, emails are still very much part of the communication mix. The sheer volume of unnecessary emails can sometimes be overwhelming. And sifting through them to find the information you actually need to know about can be painful and time-consuming. But not anymore. Astrobot, an AI-powered personal assistant, allows you to manage your inbox directly from within Slack and it highlights the most important emails to make sure you've seen them. Tracking communications in a single hub means reducing the risk that key conversations are dropped or important messages go unresponded to. With a 40% increase in installations in the UK in six weeks, Astrobot is playing a vital part in getting rid of unnecessary email clutter.
Everyone loves a good to-do list. But with employees nowadays working across multiple teams and projects, it can be hard to keep track of everything that's going on. Workstreams is like a supercharged to-do list. You can create, assign and order tasks directly within Slack channels as you go along. This is especially handy as priorities can change on the fly, particularly at times of high activity. Employees around the world are embracing Workstreams as a simple, yet effective way to manage priorities for themselves and their teams. UK businesses are no different, with an increase of 25% in installations over six weeks. It's time to ditch the pen and paper and start ticking off boxes on your virtual to-do list instead.


On Wednesday, 15 August 2018, the Child Centre – Gaza (CCG) concluded activities of the summer camp. As part of the Non-curricular Activities for Orphaned Children of the 2014 Israeli War on Gaza project (3rd year of the Wajd Project), the summer camp contributed to promoting innovation and creativity among these children.
This year, a total of 320 children participated in the CCG summer camp. It featured a wide array of cultural, artistic and recreational activities, including storytelling, reading, fine arts, handicrafts, popular and physical games, physical theatre, film screenings, and brain teasers.
The summer camp activities also included Dabke, theatre, choir, creative writing, chess, plastic arts, and computer. Additionally, children took part in sports, such as football, Kung Fu, karate, table tennis, and swimming.
On 15 August 2018, the CCG held a closing ceremony, which engaged children in several activities. In addition to a Debke performance, children of the CCG choir sang Nassam Alayna el-Hawa [The air breezed upon us] and Te'la Wtet'ammar Ya Dar [Thrive and prosper O Home]. Min Haqqi [It's my right], a song composed by children, was also performed. A theatrical performance, Aalam Bila Alwan [A World without Colours], was showcased. In addition, the summer camp activities featured a circus show. Children of the CCG Creative Writing activity read out a collection of poems, titled Tales of my Country. The ceremony was concluded with an art exhibition of products made by children, who participated in the Arts activity.
The Wajd Project is a distinctive programme that was launched by Taawon (Welfare Association) and Qatar Fund for Development, the major donor of the project. With contributions from the Bank of Palestine and Hajj Hashem Ata al-Shawwa Charitable Endowment Fund, Wajd Project aims at empowering orphaned children of the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza to live in dignity, move on to accomplish their aspirations and hopes, and be active members in society.


I ordered the Rebel Runner Crops in Mini Pop Stripe Heathered Slate. I fell in love with them a few weeks ago when I saw them on the international upload and didn't expect we would see them here in Canada. I may have ordered them in Fuel Green as well if Canada had gotten them but I'm glad Canada had my first pick which was the Slate. Nothing else really caught my eye today but I've been tempted by one of last weeks Scuba Hoodie III's which the US got totday. The Cotton High Rise Wunder Under Crops in Heathered Rain Touch Gator Green on the US side is super pretty but I was hoping they'd be luon. Its funny that on the Hong Kong uploads it never identifies wether a pant is luon or cotton.
"Fleecy Keen Jackets in Store"
"Fleecy Keen Jacket, Toasty Tech Tight III, Cyber Stripe Flash Space Dye Twist and Clouded Dreams Wunder Under Crops and More"
I took a serious hurtin' on this upload! I got the Rebel Runners and Fleecy Keen in fuel green, the toasty tech tights in bordeaux and the kanto catch me 1/2 zip (which we FINALLY got) in heathered herringbone! Yikes! I actually like the deep camo Scuba III too (even though Scuba II has my heart), but I had to draw the line somewhere!
Hi lululover, how do you find the fleecy keen hold up? Am interested but wasn't sure if the material would pile easily….Thanks!
I'm wondering the same, as fleece like this tends to pile up and get all those lint balls on it quickly and easily looking worn and ragged.
I have three of the fleecy kerns from previous runs… Inkwell, polar cream, and fuel green from last year. They've all held up wonderfully and they're SO flattering. Just ordered the wine berry and tempted to order the fuel green to have the rose gold zip version (I also lost weight and need a smaller size).
I haven't ordered anything yet but I'm ready to order the same rebel runners you got LLM! I also want a fleecy keen but may wait to try in store.
I found myself having a very "meh" reaction.The lack of product photos beyond what's on the site and what trickles out every week is serving as a major deterrent (as are the increasing prices). I like the Fleecy Keen, but I don't know if I $200 like it. In the past, I was willing to try items I might have passed on otherwise based on store pics, but the limited pictures available now seem to intentionally obscure some features/angles while failing to highlight the best attributes of whatever the item is. Seeing pictures probably made me buy more, not less, because I could more easily ID items that probably wouldn't work for me and concentrate my "resources" on items I really did want and intended to keep. Now when I buy things, I do so knowing a good amount is going to be returned, or I just don't buy at all to avoid the hassle.
Tried on the rebel runner striped in store…maybe it's just me, but I have yet to see a flattering picture of those crops on …perhaps its the placement of the block of black color on the bottom…It just seems to shorten the leg. Not the most flattering. Too bad, cuz I like the striped pattern and wished they just would've left it alone and had the whole thing striped rather than cut it off with that block of color on the bottom.
Nothing for me. I took a good look at the Wrap it up Jacket as I have wanted something long in Angel Wing but I don't think it has enough style to justify a $138 price tag. I am still waiting for the colours the US got that we didn't in the WUP Stirrup and the teal turtleneck sweater the UK got. So nothing for me. Oh was also hoping we would get the DSP's the US got last week but no go there either. Hmmm.
I completely agree with this post. I think it will come back to haunt them. I was talking to an Educator at a store in Edmonton over the weekend who said that sales are down. No surprise there. I used to spend $100's and now I struggle to find anything I like either on upload or in the store.
I also agree with these comments (am Canadian). There is still the odd item I like and will purchase, but LLL has sacrificed quality and great designs over global expansion. It does not have the appeal it used to have. And yet they continue to increase prices. My reaction to that, for lesser quality, is no thanks I will shop elsewhere. I have been a longtime, loyal customer. In the past couple of years, I do not spend nearly what I used to. They should be careful of resting on their laurels and perceiving that they are still the brand many people want. Look what happened to RIM/Blackberry.
I totally agree and I too am saddened by consistently missing out on items that were uploaded in the US only. However, I can definitely see their incentive and we can't ignore the opportunity the dollar disparity creates for all businesses. Who in their right mind wouldn't jump at the chance for their products to be worth 30% more?
Totally agree – Canadian here – up until THIS YEAR I was a regular Tuesday (formerly Monday) online buyer. I have 3 "local" stores I would pop in to on the regular. Once upon a time Lulu had legitimately quality running gear. I have stuck with them through thick and thin, through controversy and quality issues, however over the past 6 months interest has been dwindling. I have noticed the trend of random price increases at Lulu for quite a while, but this nonsensical jump (ie crops that I just last year paid $86 for a now all of a sudden $118 JUST because they are patterned? or have reflective dots?) I mean come on, I could go to my speciality running store and grab REAL gear if I wanted to drop that kind of money. I'm all of spending on quality, but for what Lulu is, they have squeezed me out of their margin. Don't get me wrong, I still check out the upload, check out WMTM, but I rarely buy these days because it just doesn't make any financial sense.
I ordered the same rebel runners as you to try. Will be my first pair. Had to order sapphire define as I have been waiting on that. I like the herringbone PR but will hold out and hope for speed tights instead.
Ordered the rebel runners in both fuel green and the mini pop slate stripe. I'm hoping I will hate one of them! My wallet is not happy ?

Newport businesswoman named as one of the UK's most inspirational female entrepreneurs
By Matthew PanterTelfordBusinessPublished: Jan 20, 2023 Last Updated: Jan 20, 2023 Comments
A Newport businesswoman has been named as one of the UK's most inspirational and dynamic female entrepreneurs by a national campaign.
Sara Giles with her dog Mr Toby
Sara Giles received the accolade from the f:Entrepreneur '#ialso100' campaign after founding Newport Pet Services in 2018.
Newport Pet Services offers fully insured dog walking, pet visits for cats, small animals and horses, pet chaperoning to weddings and a pet taxi service.
The business employs five people and is accredited as a force-free pet care provider by the Pet Professional Network.
