Modern technology has made everything easier and more accessible, and paternity tests are no exception. Thanks to advances in DNA testing technology, you can now take a paternity test from the comfort of your own home. Of course to get the best results you'll want to follow the ideal procedures for your home DNA test. While many of these products include instructions, they can be unclear or incomplete. If you want to ensure accurate results, then follow this guide when you sit down to perform your own at-home paternity test.
Step 1. Set aside plenty of time to take the test. Rushing a paternity test could cause you to make mistakes that could ultimately affect the results and require a retest.
Step 2. Have all three necessary parties (the mother, child, and potential father) available to take the test at the same time.
Step 3. Wash your hands before handling any of the test materials. Also refrain from smoking, consuming alcoholic beverages, or taking oral medications immediately prior to taking samples. You don't want to contaminate your sample and have to retake the test.
Step 4. Read the included instructions carefully. Because some home DNA tests differ from others, it's important that you know exactly what's expected of you to avoid any costly mistakes.
Step 5. Inspect all parts of the home DNA test immediately. By doing this you ensure that none of the necessary parts are missing or damaged. It will also give you your first look at everything you're about to use.
Step 6. Once you are familiar with the procedure for your home paternity test, you can begin taking and sealing the samples.
Step 7. Upon completion of your home DNA test, prepare and ship the testing materials as soon as possible. This eliminates the possibility of the test being lost. Remember that the sooner that you send your completed test, the sooner you will get your results.
While it is important to note that the results of an at-home DNA test may not be accepted for legal matters, when the procedure for the paternity test is followed correctly the results are still 99.9%+ accurate for most accredited tests, making them a reliable way for a family to find peace of mind without sacrificing personal privacy or pride. Not only are these products very reasonably priced, but they allow you to determine when and where you want to do the test. All you need to complete the test are the trio (mother, child, potential father) and the time; everything else you'll need is included in the kit you will receive. The seven easy steps above should simplify the process and make it even quicker and more comfortable for everyone involved.

Webinar: Paternalism versus freedom
2 December, 16:30 to 18:30
Webinar 2 December, Paternalism versus freedom
One of the major challenges of the covid19 pandemic has been how to develop a public health approach that strikes the right balance between individual freedom and social well-being.
Public health typically requires people to sacrifice some of their individual freedom for the good of the community. Compulsory quarantine measures to suppress a focus of infection constitute an obvious example. This pandemic, however, has raised serious doubts about the scope of such sacrifices.
Starting from the idea that the common good includes the need to protect public health while also guaranteeing individual freedoms, we wanted to discuss the ethical limits both on individual freedom and on public authority in this pandemic and those of the future.
With the participation of:
Josefa Cantero, Senior Lecturer in Administrative Law at the Faculty of Law, Albacete, and President of the Spanish Association of Health Jurists.
Iñigo de Miguel, philosopher and Researcher at the Chair of Law and the Human Genome at the University of the Basque Country
Jordi Muñoz, political scientist and Ramón y Cajal Researcher at the University of Barcelona
The session was chaired by Ángel Puyol, Professor of Ethics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
Webinar organized in coordination with the Spanish Society for Public Health and Health Administration (SESPAS)

Diversity & Engagement
This year, we had a very large group of people attend a 2-day Beyond Diversity training. Police Chief Steffes and nine other Sun Prairie Police Department staff as well as School Board members and our staff participated in the two day training. We hosted this event in conjunction with the Pacific Educational Group, partners in our equity work.
Our District Administration is currently engaging in a Book Study reading the book How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. We are learning and growing as a team.

Meet our new Community School Coordinator for Northside Elementary
My name is Tenisha Winn. I am the new Community School Coordinator for Northside Elementary. Just a little bit about myself. I have worked within the Racine Unified School District for eight years. I began as a youth mentor/ advocate at Starbuck Middle School. After five years I resigned and became the program coordinator for the Racine Family YMCA Young Leaders Academy. During this time at the YMCA, I facilitated a program called PREP. PREP stands for Personal Responsibility Education Program. This program is geared toward middle school and high school students. One of the facets of the program is Sex Education which I facilitated at Case High School for a semester. I went back to RUSD in August of 2019 and began my work as a Community School Specialist at Knapp Elementary. Working as a Community School Coordinator is my calling. Having the ability to positively impact the lives of others, lets me know I am walking, living, and working in my purpose. I know I was made for this work. I have been where a lot of our families are and can closely relate to their trials and tribulations. I am very compassionate, heartfelt, full of positivity, joy, and love. I am a motivator, encourager, and faith-filled. These are traits I am proud to embody. I look forward to this new journey, in a new place, surrounded by new people. I am so grateful to be a part of the Sun Prairie family.

Secondary Boundary and Bell Task Force Update
The Secondary Boundary and Bell Task Force began meeting in September. This is a citizen based group consisting of district residents serving in an advisory capacity to the School Board. The Task Force has been tasked with the following:
Review data and create and present a recommendation for School Board consideration, deliberation, and subsequent action for enrollment boundaries that will be effective September 1, 2022 after the district completes referendum projects that add an additional high school and an additional middle school.
Conduct a bell time study by reviewing bell times at the elementary, middle, and high school levels for any adjustments that may be advantageous for operational, student behavioral, safety and/or fiscal reasons.
You can follow along with the progress of the Task Force on the website. This includes meeting dates, agendas, recordings of the presentations, and meeting minutes. You can also live stream the meetings on Kids4 or KSUN.
Bank of Sun Prairie Stadium at Ashley Field
We recently entered into a partnership with the Bank of Sun Prairie for the naming rights of the new multipurpose stadium at Ashley Field. The facility will host football, lacrosse, soccer, Sound of Sun Prairie, and other community events.
The ADA accessible stadium includes seating for 4,075. The home side has seating for 2,098, and the visitor side has seating for 1,977.
The community's investment in this project will provide learning opportunities for students outside the classroom and will bring unique opportunities to host other community-type events in the space.
A grand opening will be held for the community when it is safe to do so.

Note: This map has a music easter egg. Can you solve it?
Don't adjust your difficulty settings. The map should do that by itself.
You should be in adventure mode in the lobby and in game.
If you're hosting a server, make sure command blocks are enabled!
Also, use common sense. If you think you're breaking the map, you probably are.
-3 blem i cant get out of the restart room. i keep pressing the button and it wont do anything.
It's supposed to be like that. Just don't look at the redstone and the map will work fine, I promise.
0 Sh4rkAtt4ck Ah yes, it works now. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner, especially before posting the complaint. But thank you very much. This is a very excellent map, as well as Tetra Z, amazing! I love your maps, and I hope to see them keep coming, though I know its tons of hard, dedicated work. I was wondering if perhaps you wanted to work on a map together sometime? As well as Wundero and his amazing redstone skills as well. ;) Thank you for your time and your maps, have a good day or night!
That's very strange. Reinstall the map and it should work fine. The only thing I changed in the update was turning natural regeneration on.
Alright, I will try that. Thank you for your response.
+2 Sh4rkAtt4ck A lot of the map is now broken since the last update you did.
1. When the round ends, the button on the bedrock does nothing due to a missing repeater behind it, that gets removed after another round if you place it.
2. Upon beginning a new round, all the old zombies are still present.
3. Upon beginning a new round, any doors you previously unlocked, are still unlocked.
There may be more that I missed or forgot to mention. Please fix the map as I love the concept and found it quite fun when it actually worked. Thank you.
0 Someone I didn't spawn in the waiting lobby. How do I fix this?
+9 diamondawesome Made it to round 15 with 2 other players. Got 187 kills myself!
+4 JayMineCrafton As mentioned in the last comment, I have now officially enabled natural regeneration to make the map significantly easier.
Thanks for the game! Can't escape the starting room... no way to get out as far as I can tell. My record is 17 zombies solo. Am I missing something or is it just that I haven't survived for long enough yet?
+10 Head_Rat Thanks for the game! Can't escape the starting room... no way to get out as far as I can tell. My record is 17 zombies solo. Am I missing something or is it just that I haven't survived for long enough yet?
-1 Meow YOu need to make a larger map. Just saying. If you want to make that small of a map, you need fast regeneration, which you dont get.
Try inviting some friends to help take down the horde!
Make sure to put on your armour by right clicking when they're in your hand. You can put it on really fast that way!


Since we released the MELODIA vamp plugin implementing our melody extraction algorithm, I've been contacted a number of times by people interested in synthesizing the pitch sequences estimated by MELODIA, like the examples provided on my melody extraction and phd thesis pages.
MeloSynth is written in Python, is open source, and requires Python and NumPy. It's designed to be as simple as possible to use, no programming/python knowledge required. Given a txt or csv file with two columns [timestamps, frequency], the default behavior is to synthesize a wav file using a single sinusoid. The script also has options for setting the sampling frequency, adding more harmonics, changing the waveform, synthesizing negative values (which are used to indicate the absence of pitch by convention) and batch processing all files in a folder.
MeloSynth can of course also be used to synthesize pitch estimates from other algorithms, as long as the output is provided in the expected double column format.

i seriously don't know what to do, i tried to clear the cache, to delete node_modules and package-lock.json, and do a npm install, but nothing changed, i got the same error, do you have any idea to fix this ?

A: This error clearly points to an incompatibility between IPFS and OrbitDB.
The latest version of js-ipfs that OrbitDB v0.26.1 supports is 0.55.4.
You should change the ipfs (or ipfs-core) version in your package.json to ^0.55.4.

Note: The upcoming OrbitDB v0.27, will support the latest IPFS version.

Franca Trentin est née à Venise le  et morte dans la même ville le . Elle passe son enfance en tant que réfugiée à Toulouse. Elle entre dans la Résistance au sein du mouvement Libérer et Fédérer, créé par son père Silvio Trentin. Agrégée d'italien, elle consacre ses travaux aux influences croisées des cultures française et italienne et écrit des articles sur l'enseignement du français, la traduction et la littérature féminine.

Biographie
Franca Trentin est née à Venise le , de Silvio Trentin et Giuseppina Nardari .

Une famille italienne exilée en France

En février 1926, Silvio Trentin choisit la voie de l'exil en s'expatriant en France. Il est accompagné de son épouse Beppa Nardari, originaire de Trévise, et de leurs deux enfants Giorgio et Franca, âgés de huit ans et demi et six ans.

Première étape : Pavie (Gers), dans le sud-ouest de la France, où Silvio Trentin tente de faire fructifier une terre agricole achetée avec toutes les ressources de la famille. À la fin de cette première année d'exil, naît leur troisième enfant, Bruno.

En juillet 1928, après la faillite de l'exploitation, la famille s'installe à Auch où son père trouve un emploi d'ouvrier imprimeur. Franca y fréquente l'école communale.

Les études
En juillet 1934, Silvio, licencié pour grève le 1er mai 1934, aidé par des amis italiens et français, ouvre une librairie à Toulouse. Franca fréquente le lycée de cette ville, obtient son baccalauréat en 1936 et s'inscrit à la faculté des lettres où elle se spécialise en littératures anglaise et italienne. Les années 1936-1939 sont une période très agitée pour la famille Trentin.
Franca Trentin s'inscrit à la faculté des lettres de Toulouse où elle obtient en juin 1939 la licence d'anglais.

En juin 1940, elle présente le Diplôme d'Études Supérieures (sa thèse de doctorat) sur un auteur anglais, J.D. Beresford. En octobre de la même année, elle obtient la naturalisation, mais doit attendre dix ans pour obtenir la pleine citoyenneté.

Deux ans plus tard, elle obtient son deuxième diplôme, la licence en langue et littérature italiennes.

Pour gagner sa vie elle accepte divers remplacements temporaires, travaille comme secrétaire du doyen de la faculté, encadre des camps de vacances, travaille comme interprète et traductrice.

La Résistance
Entre-temps, elle participe à la Résistance, en tant que agent de liaison pour le mouvement Libérer et Fédérer, fondé par son père et Achille Auban.

Alors que toute sa famille rentre en Italie, Franca Trentin, seule membre de la famille à avoir la nationalité française, poursuit dans la clandestinité ses activités de résistance dans la région de Toulouse.

Le , Franca Trentin épouse un réfugié espagnol, Horace Torrubia, chef de la Résistance locale. Le même mois, à Trévise, son père meurt, après avoir été arrêté par les fascistes, mais Franca Trentin ne l'apprend que plus tard et ne parvient à retrouver sa famille qu'à l'occasion d'un voyage à l'étranger, après la libération de l'Italie du nazisme-fascisme.

De retour en France, elle reçoit la Médaille de la Résistance française décernée par le général De Gaulle en 1946.

Littérature et activisme
Elle reprend ses études universitaires à Toulouse tout en gagnant sa vie en faisant des remplacements et en donnant des cours particuliers. La même année naît son premier fils, Silvio Torrubia. Son mari Horace devient Docteur en médecine. Ils s'installent à Paris, le mari pour préparer le concours de psychiatrie, elle pour préparer l'agrégation de langue et littérature italiennes.

Agrégée d'italien, Franca Trentin partage son temps entre Paris (sa résidence quai de Gesvres) et l'université de Dijon où elle enseigne. C'est à cette époque qu'elle rencontre Mario Baratto (né en 1920 à Chioggia, mort en 1984 à Venise, lecteur d'italien à l'Ecole normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud). En 1954, elle divorce de Torrubia et, deux ans plus tard, épouse Mario Baratto.

Élève d'Henri Bédarida à la Sorbonne, ou elle mène des études sur le vérisme italien et consacre ses travaux à Giovanni Verga, elle le remplace en 1957 au département d'italien.

L'appartement parisien du couple Baratto devient le passage obligé des intellectuels italiens en visite à Paris et le lieu de brassage de divers milieux à travers des rencontres informelles où se mêlent universitaires, élèves et anciens élèves, gens de théâtre. Mario Baratto et Franca Baratto-Trentin initient nombre de jeunes parisiennes et parisiens à l'œuvre de Gramsci à la faculté d'italien de Paris.

Son amie, Ariane Mnouchkine lui fit tenir le rôle de Mme de Scudéry dans son Molière filmé.

Elle enseigne à la Sorbonne jusqu'au , date à laquelle elle est détachée à la Faculté des langues de Ca' Foscari à Venise par le ministère des Affaires étrangères, en tant que lectrice de littérature françaises. Elle y enseignera pendant 19 ans, jusqu'à sa retraite, en 1985.

Son mari le professeur Mario Baratto (doyen de la faculté de Ca'Foscari) décède l'année précédent son départ à la retraite, en 1984.

Pendant une dizaine d'années, elle continue à travailler bénévolement à l'Université : direction de thèses, séminaires, coordination des langues, conférences, cours de perfectionnement et de formation dans les écoles secondaires et des conférences dans les associations culturelles italo-françaises.

En 1989, elle est nommée vice-présidente de l'association culturelle italo-française de Venise, (A.C.I.F.), où elle donne des conférences et collabore à diverses activités.

De 1996 à 2000, elle est présidente de l'Institut vénitien d'histoire de la résistance et de la société contemporaine (IVESER).

Franca Trentin est morte à Venise  le .

Honneurs
Le 14 juillet 1978, elle est décorée chevalière de la Légion d'honneur.

En 1997, elle est nommée officier de l'ordre national du Mérite.

Discours et publications
Elle a participé à des conférences et à des revues sur la culture et la littérature italiennes, publiant des essais sur Verga et le vérisme italien, et des analyses sur les influences mutuelles de la culture italienne et de la culture française.

Elle a publié aux éditions Cafoscarina en 1981, La pratica della traduzione, un livre qui s'est avéré être un guide important pour tous les professeurs de français en langue étrangère.

Pour l'Ateneo Veneto et l'Alliance française de Venise et d'autres centres en Vénétie, Frioul, Émilie-Romagne, elle a donné des dizaines de conférences sur la littérature française, en particulier sur la littérature féminine : George Sand, Colette, Beauvoir, Duras, Flora, etc., mais aussi Proust, Aragon, Céline, Pennac, Zola, etc.

Outre les magazines, elle a publié divers articles dans les journaux locaux, "Il Gazzettino" et "La Nuova Venezia", notamment sur Beauvoir, Prévert, théâtre de Mnouchkine, le Paris d'Augias, Simenon, etc.

Q: Artifactory archive search in parts of repo? I have a artifactory server with alot of content and alot of .zip-files. Artifactory supports archive search which allows you to search for specific files within the archives.
The problem is that when using the API you can only specify file name (or keyword) and repo. The problem is that the repo contains so much files that the maximum number of hits is reached. It's also not that efficient to search everything every time when I know the path to the interesting 10%.
Does anyone know if it's possible to search part of the repo using the API? Do I have to create virtual repos that points to a subset of the repo?
Any ideas appreciated!

A: The easiest and most efficient way to search and filter inside archive entries is using the JFrog CLI. With that, you can specify your search pattern and filter out unwanted results.
jfrog rt s <repository name>/<repository path> --archive-entries=<path-in-archive>

Example:
jfrog rt s generic-local/food/* --archive-entries=cheese/milk.txt
# Results: pizza.zip

You can also use File Specs for more complex queries:
Create filespec.json:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "pattern": "generic-local/food/*",
      "archiveEntries": "cheese/milk",
      "exclusions": "*lasagne*"
    },
    {
      "pattern": "thor/*",
      "archiveEntries": "hammer"
    }
  ]
}

Run the following:
jfrog rt s --spec=filespec.json
# Possible results: pizza.zip and weapon.zip

Notice: To use archive search, make sure "Archive Search Enabled" is checked under Administration | Artifactory | General Settings.

"A woman's life and love? For Milton Court Artist-in-Residence Roderick Williams, Schumann's great song cycle opens up some remarkably modern perspectives on identity and the human heart. 'The joy is the love, the love is the joy' declares the (supposedly) female narrator of Frauenliebe und -leben. 'I have said it, and won't take it back!' And since human emotion acknowledges no gender, Williams has assembled an entire recital that explores the limitlessly fluid ways in which two souls can merge. It's an inspired idea for a song recital: since every song is itself an encounter of words and music, singer and pianist – each enriched by the other. Brahms is a natural complement to Schumann, but songs by Sally Beamish, Herbert Howells and Rhian Samuel all offer an utterly distinctive perspective. For Roderick Williams, though, it's simply about communication: I'd love audiences to think what an amazing juxtaposition of music and poetry this is." [Barbican Centre website]
Programme included:
Sally Beamish
Four Songs from Hafez
Rhian Samuel
Summer Songs*
Frauenliebe und -leben Op.42
"*Unfortunately the premiere of Ryan Wigglesworth's new work has had to be postponed. Roderick Williams will instead be performing Rhian Samuel's Summer Songs." [Barbican Centre website]
Roderick Williams (baritone) & Andrew West (piano)
Roderick Williams & Andrew West at Milton Court – Frauenliebe und -leben
Tuesday, February 26, 2019 Milton Court Concert Hall, London
Reviewed by Amanda-Jane Doran
Roderick Williams and Andrew West offered an eclectic and thought-provoking programme including Robert Schumann's Frauenliebe und -leben (A woman's love and life) imagined by a male composer and a male poet, Adalbert von Chamisso. The performers posed many questions as they investigated the role of women as subject, object and composers of song, including Clara Schumann (Robert's wife), Sally Beamish and Rhian Samuel.
Themes of love, tortured and flirtatious, dominated the opening selection by Brahms, of which Williams gave a wonderfully natural and direct interpretation. The narrative of each piece was deeply persuasive and theatrically engaging, West's accompaniments detailed and sparkling; in Mädchenlied the spinning-wheel purred into life. Clara Schumann's setting of Rückert's Liebst du um Schönheit matches the verse in wit and ardour, and with unusual emotional freedom for 1841, the descriptive piano coda as thoughtful and imaginative as anything by Robert.
Three late miniatures by Brahms followed: snapshots of the Swallow, Salamander and the Nightingale, replete with longing, lust and sadness. The mood expanded and darkened for Herbert Howells's masterpiece King David, in which Williams's vocal line wove around the gorgeous chords and arpeggios mimicking the sound of ancient harps. Sally Beamish's Four Songs from Hafez introduced exquisite exoticism. Landscapes of roses and peacocks combined with glimpses of the beloved is conveyed in touching descending figures, as the lover's hair comes loose and tumbles down. The invocation of the Hoopoe is voiced plaintively in the final number.
Rhian Samuel's Summer Songs are close-textured and chromatic evocations of night and a dragonfly in the sun. These vivid settings brought tonal freshness before Frauenliebe und -leben, performed unusually by a male singer. Williams's sweet phrasing and expressive power was entirely convincing and West's contribution nuanced, crisp and dream-like by turns. Williams and West certainly made a strong argument for this experiment, communicating the deepest and most profound of emotions through sincerity, skill and openheartedness.


1. What was my first programming language?
2. What do I do in my Spare Time?
3. Where can I find the Source Code?
Hello and welcome! My name is Jay. I am a programmer, currently living in Seoul, South Korea. I am passionate about most things related to programming (in particular, server-side development). My passion lies mostly in computer science, programming, learning and trying new things as well as listening to others talk about their experiences as a developer. Below is a picture of me coding and chilling at a cafe in the Hongdae area of Seoul.
Update: I quit my job at the end of January 2019. I am currently pursuing my masters in Computer Science at Seoul National University.
I have lived in both Australia and New Zealand.
I love hiking and Jjim-jil-bang (찜질방). It is a Korean dry sauna and an amazing place to chill and unwind communally. If you are into that kind of stuff, I recommend checking it out if you ever decide to come to seoul. For more information, check out this link: Visiting a Korean Jjimjilbang.
In my spare time, I also love playing tennis and some occasional League of Legends.
I love learning, especially programming!
I did not major in Computer Science during college.
Thecodingdelight was made to challenge myself to start writing more about my passions, to share knowledge with those around me and to freely provide content to those that are trying to learn. It is also a way to keep myself accountable in my journey of learning and discovery. At the same time, this site exists to part knowledge and guide programmers or aspiring programmers in understanding key concepts. I will do my best to follow up on comments and feedback (if it is doable and relevant) as soon as possible.
Most of the blog posts will be centered around the following topics.
Update: I am aiming towards resuming blog posts some time in 2019. Although I will still post on data structures and algorithms, some of my newer posts may be centered around data science, particularly, machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. I will try to keep those topics as intuitive and less "mathy" as possible :).
1. What was your first programming language?
2. What do you do in your Spare Time?
Forgive me for sounding like a geek, but most of my spare time goes into writing blog posts, reading books on programming. Occasionally, I like sports like tennis, League of Legends, ride a bike to cool my head.
I am also a big fan of 찜질방 and 노래방 (karaoke). Unfortunately, not too many people around me enjoy that kind of stuff. So I just stick to my books *insert awkward laugh.
All the source code is uploaded onto my GitHub account. Occasionally, I upload code that is not related to the blog. Unfortunately, since most of the code that I work on is proprietary, my GitHub account is relatively empty. One of the other reasons for starting this blog was to challenge myself to write some more code in my downtime and populate my empty GitHub profile.

It is hard to imagine that Berio was only 34 when I met him for the first time. As I was then a very young composer, 22 years old, the age difference was actually not that big. But when I arrived in Milan as his student in 1962, I saw him more as God than anything else.
Luciano's and Cathy's daughter Cristina was 8 years old at the time, and was listening all day long to the Beatles.
Most of the autumn of '62 Berio was at his house in Lingueglietta working on his opera Passaggio. The house overlooked the Mediterranean and was not far from Imperia, where his parents lived. We both had fathers who were organists.
Apart from the composing, his main interest was fishing and his biggest ambition, already then, was to start cultivating his own wineyard. Two years later Lingueglietta was sold because he had to buy a house in California, due to his new position as a teacher at Mills College. This was a famous "Chair", since Darius Milhaud had held that job during most of the years of World War II. At the time it was still an all-girls college, as was Vivaldi's conservatorio in Venice 200 years earlier.
It took me some time to persuade mu only barely well-off musician friend Frans Brueggen to buy the house in Lingueglietta, because we wanted to spend our holidays there. For many years we drove from Amsterdam in minuscule Fiats 600 over the not-yet-existing French highways, full of cars driven by French murderers. Together with friends in Lingueglietta we played all the card games Luciano had taught me: Briscola, Scopa, and especially Sputo nell'oceano, «spit in the ocean», an extremely wild and nerve-wracklingly fast double patience.
Luciano always won, unless he was playing with the children of his sister Miriana. Her family hired the house next to Luciano's. There, Miriana's husband taught me how to stuff meat with garlic, oregano, basil, and other Italian delicacies.
During the winter of '64-'65, Luciano lived in West Berlin. Through a generous invitation of the Ford Foundation, he was able to take a few students with him. I remember numerous heavy car trips through loads of dirty snow. Later rumours were circulated that this whole Ford Foundation thing was stimulated by the CIA, to form a «cultural front against communism».
Apart from meeting the profoundly impressive W.H. Auden, we became friends with people like Frederic Rzewski and Yugi Takahashi. Luciano was composing, as ever, but evenings were regularly spent with dinners and discussions about literature, politics, and music. Luciano liked to cook, and served amazing pastas and main courses.
I remember how he could, sometimes, completely unexpectedly, be very tender and full of attention to someone at the table. Then his hands were as expressive as his voice, and he was miraculously lovable.

Is It Too Early to Imagine a Zion Williamson–Luka Doncic Partnership?
That, and other dream pairings for some of our favorite college basketball prospects
By Kevin O'Connor, Jonathan Tjarks, and Danny Chau Nov 6, 2018, 8:15am EST
Share All sharing options for: Is It Too Early to Imagine a Zion Williamson–Luka Doncic Partnership?
The college basketball season is here, but it's never too early to start dreaming ahead to June. To celebrate the occasion, our NBA draftniks of The Corner 3 (formerly known as Draft Class!) are pairing some of their favorite prospects in the draft with teams in dire need of their talents.
Atlanta Hawks: R.J. Barrett (Guard/Forward, Duke)
Kevin O'Connor: R.J. Barrett is the most complete prospect in his draft class at this stage of the evaluation process. There's little evidence that trend won't continue. No one in NBA circles questions Barrett's work ethic, and he's being groomed for long-term success. Canadian Basketball invests heavily in his training and development by having a physical therapist travel with him everywhere. Barrett is worth it: The 6-foot-7 wing already led Team Canada to its first gold medal at the FIBA U19 World Cup in 2017 against Team USA. He has the potential to be the pro star that Canada wished Andrew Wiggins would be.
Barrett can serve as a go-to scorer or a playmaker, and he has both the body and mind-set to be an effective multi-positional defender, but he's still working to gain consistency on his jumper. At the next level, he'd be best served in a system that's built to employ multiple attackers, like the Hawks. Trae Young is a stellar passer who can create offense for himself off the dribble. Barrett's knack for cutting and slashing would make him a favorite target for Young. But Young can also thrive off screens with a costar like Barrett, who can return the playmaking favor.
Atlanta's style of play is also a fit. Barrett flourishes in the open court; the Hawks are tied for quickest possession time in the NBA, per Inpredictable. Barrett has an unusual blend of size, speed, and fluid ballhandling, and he can occasionally look like a much smaller version of Giannis Antetokounmpo when he's dribbling in the open floor. Barrett has a lot to prove to cement himself as the no. 1 pick. But it won't be long before his name is called. The Hawks could be bad enough to have a chance at the rising Canadian star.
Dallas Mavericks: Zion Williamson (Forward/Center, Duke)
Jonathan Tjarks: The most hyped prospect in last year's draft and the most hyped prospect in this one could be a match made in heaven. Luka Doncic needs a young pick-and-roll partner in Dallas, and he would rack up a lot of assists throwing lobs to Zion. The Mavs brought in DeAndre Jordan to be that guy this season, but he's not a long-term answer at the position. Zion offers youth and out-of-this-world athleticism, as well as more perimeter-oriented skills like ballhandling and passing.
A Guide to the Players Who Will Rule College Basketball This Season
Zion and Doncic would be a fascinating pair of bookends in Rick Carlisle's multiple ball handler offensive system, and their development together would make Dallas one of the most captivating teams in the league. Doncic played well as a rookie, but there just isn't enough talent around him for the team to be relevant. Dallas will get its first-round pick next season only if it's in the top five, but it's certainly playing like a team who could be in the running for a high lottery pick. As a Mavs fan, I'm feeling greedy. Let's make this happen.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Bol Bol (Center, Oregon)
Danny Chau: Life makes fools of us all. I, for one, did not foresee the Cavaliers being the worst team in the NBA, even with the departure of a certain someone. Kevin Love's extended absence and a strange, passive-aggressive freeze-out of the team's lottery selection won't help matters, and there's a chance this is just who the Cavaliers are. If that's the case, the Cavs will have their pick of the Duke trio in their search for a new franchise savior. But part of me feels that the team still isn't nearly as bad as they've shown after 10 games. Should the Cavaliers drop out of the top five, the Cavs should be looking at players with home run potential. Bol Bol could be one of those players in the later stages of the lottery.

— NCAA March Madness (@marchmadness) November 2, 2018
As the giants of the youth basketball circuit continue to explore their limits on offense, players like Bol might become more commonplace than the anomalies they appear to be today. Bol is a player with Rudy Gobert's dimensions, except he's also arguably one of the best shooters in the draft class. He's not exactly explosive, but is a strangely mesmerizing ball handler for his size, which makes him a threat to attack closeouts from out behind the arc or and shoot off the dribble. We've retired the "unicorn" label for a certain type of skilled big man, but players like Bol will still stand out in their uniqueness. He's a walking Mad Libs of NBA skill sets.
Phoenix Suns: Quentin Grimes (Guard, Kansas)
Tjarks: The Suns probably don't need any more lottery picks now that they are on (what they hope is) the tail end of a rebuild that has stretched out for almost the entire decade. The abrupt preseason firing of GM Ryan McDonough means it's unclear who will be making the decisions for Phoenix, and notoriously impatient owner Robert Sarver could push to trade the pick for instant help.
Grimes, one of the most impressive prospects I saw in a week of scrimmages leading up to the Nike Hoop Summit last April, would make a lot of sense if they end up keeping the pick. At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, the 18-year-old is already built like an NBA guard. He has the physical tools to hold up on defense next to Devin Booker, and he's polished enough to play on or off the ball next to the Suns' franchise player. Phoenix doesn't need any more projects. They need someone who can come in and contribute right away. Few teenage guards are more equipped for that than Grimes.
Oklahoma City Thunder: De'Andre Hunter (Forward, Virginia)
O'Connor: Every team in the NBA could use a player like De'Andre Hunter. He's 6-foot-7 and 225 pounds with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, and has the game to match his impressive physical makeup. It starts with defense with Hunter. The 20-year-old defended every position as a redshirt freshman last season at Virginia. He can slide laterally against quicker guards, and has the strength to contain larger wings and even some bigs. Hunter could be used across positions in an NBA lineup, including as a super small-ball 5 for limited minutes because he isn't afraid to battle for rebounds.
On offense, Hunter realistically projects as more of a role player. He's a solid spot-up shooter who hit 38.2 percent of his 3s last season, and he can attack off the dribble on straight-line drives. He needs to significantly improve his handle to shake and bake against high-level pro defenders, but he's shown flashes of dynamic play when hitting midrange pull-ups and finishing against length inside.
Hunter could end up resembling Andre Roberson but with a 3-pointer. That's why we have him slotted in as an intriguing fit for the Thunder. After starting the season 0-4, Oklahoma City has won five straight games. But it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they found themselves in a position to select a better prospect (whether by record or by trade). Hunter's defensive prowess and offensive upside makes him a perfect fit next to Russell Westbrook and Paul George, and the right gamble for Sam Presti to strengthen the Thunder.
Orlando Magic: Darius Garland (Point guard, Vanderbilt)
Chau: Orlando has stuck to a very particular set of standards in the draft since John Hammond took over as GM in May 2017, exclusively nabbing players with remarkable wingspans relative to their position. Length is the great equalizer, a way to widen one's margin for error, especially on the defensive end. The Magic, in theory, are developing a floating fortress of limbs. In practice, they're much less intriguing. All that length doesn't mean anything if the ball can't find its way into the right hands.
This could be the year the Magic deal less in the abstract. The heart of their problem is simple: The Magic have the most dire point guard rotation in recent NBA history. In the 6-foot-3 Garland, the team would be going against type, but they'd actually be targeting their biggest weaknesses. Garland is the best point guard prospect in the 2019 class, and a player who mirrors CJ McCollum's growth and all his strengths and weaknesses, but on an accelerated timeline. Like CJ, he was a scrawny, 5-foot-something guard with undeniable offensive talent who grew into a 6-foot-3 frame. But unlike McCollum, Garland is doing it as an elite recruit, and he likely won't have to spend four years at Vanderbilt.
At some point, the Magic will have to find their point guard of the future, whether it's through throwing bags at Terry Rozier or Spencer Dinwiddie over the summer, or through the draft. Should they fall out of the top six, Garland would be worth a look.

Queen Street West's Art and Design District continues its evolution with the launch of The Carnaby.
Located down the lane from Streetcar's sold out 2 Gladstone and 8 Gladstone lofts, The Carnaby is set to further transform this dynamic enclave at Queen Street West and Gladstone. Inspired by its iconic namesake - Carnaby Street - London's west end mecca of boutique shopping, funky galleries, bars, cafes, art and music studios - this new addition to the block will take the form of a visionary mixed-use development incorporating a 20-storey tower with 200 loft residences.
At street level an artfully landscaped pedestrian-centric animated laneway, where you can sip a coffee and mingle with neighbours, will add a Soho-esque street-level life to this legendary Queen West area.
In addition to the retail anchor on Gladstone, a Metro grocery store will open its doors to service The Carnaby's residents allowing the animated laneway to guide pedestrians and cyclists alike, to and from this convenient feature.
Flexible lounge spaces and boutique hotel finishes make it easy to entertain on a grand scale or wind down and relax.
Work hard, live fast, lounge at your leisure. To meet your needs for solo relaxation outside the home, and to afford the chance of some neighbourly mingling, The Carnaby hosts two communal spaces where chilling and gathering is encouraged: an indoor party and media room and an outdoor terrace. Both located on the second storey, they share the same emphasis on creating spaces with cutting edge elegance that echo The Carnaby's design sensibilities.
The interior party and media room is a space full of textures, crisp detail and The Carnaby's fabulous lighting fixtures and high end, boutique furnishings. A party and media room when required, a neutral zone to read a book, meet friends, surf the net and entertain guests. Comes with a bar, of course, and behind the scenes there's a full kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and Caesarstone millwork.
The terrace continues the style, combining it with a luxury resort-like chill out vibe. By day, a sun lounge complete with bed-size chaises. By night, the place you plan that al-fresco dinner party, take in the night sky, or enjoy pre-night out gathering of friends.
The Carnaby also boasts a beautifully designed, state-of-the-art and fully equipped fitness centre to get your heart pumping.
Unit Size : From 457 Sq. Ft. To 885 Sq. Ft.

History of Labor Day

Labor Day: What it Means History of Labor Day
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. History of Labor Day
Labor Day Legislation
Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.
Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers. History of Labor Day
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic. Who do you think is the founder?

BLOG: Mayor Mike McGinn could use some sound advice
June 15, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly
By Assunta Ng
Mayor McGinn (left) shakes hands with Chongqing Mayor Huang Qifan
Recently, I was dining with a group of friends, and the mayor's name came up. Some of them went with Mayor Mike McGinn to Seattle's sister city, Chongqing, in March.
The report card for the mayor's leadership was not satisfactory.
They shared one scenario where a high-level Chinese official hosted a lunch for more than 50 members of the Seattle delegation. The Chinese official toasted our delegation, and the mayor didn't know how to respond.
Mayor McGinn (center) at the Seattle Garden ribbon cutting ceremony in Chongqing, China with Chongqing officials (two right), Marco Lowe (left from middle), director of the Seattle Office of Intergovernmental Relations, and Joe Borich (far left), president of the Washington State China Relations Council
The mayor sat there and did nothing, while the other members of the delegation felt awkward, looking at each other with disbelief. No one had the guts to get up and tell the mayor to reciprocate the hospitality of the Chinese official.
Would the mayor take it personally if they told him what to do?
Finally, they decided that Joseph Borich, executive director of the Washington State China Relations Council, would be the appropriate person to intercept.
After 20 minutes, McGinn got the message from Joe, and toasted and thanked his host. Seattle delegates said he did fine. I was amazed when I heard the story. Hadn't anyone thought to brief him on the proper customs before he left for China?
Even at Cinco de Mayo …
Another similarly awkward situation with the mayor was during a Cinco de Mayo celebration held at the Columbia Tower Club. Several elected officials, including Mayor McGinn, was invited to speak. At festive occasions, elected officials usually make some short remarks about the Hispanic community and offer congratulatory statements.
However, McGinn spoke about the Seattle Police Department and talked for seven minutes. The emcee had to step in. He refused to let go of the mic and said, "This is important."
Here was an instance where McGinn wanted to stay on his soapbox, but did the audience listen?
No. The audience was annoyed, and started talking amongst themselves. It seems that he lost some respect from the community that day.
Here we go again, McGinn acts out of line
I also read in a June 12 article in the Seattle Times that McGinn paid a visit to NBA Commissioner David Stern in New York City. Chris Hansen, the hedge-fund manager proposing to spend millions to partially finance a new arena and buy an NBA team, had no idea about this meeting.(end)

I am re-posting the following note from Chris Hansen on SonicsArena.Com. This was originally published on Tuesday, the morning after Mayor McGinn's meeting with NBA Commissioner David Stern:
Regarding Mayor McGinn's Meeting with the NBA
I just wanted to personally thank Mayor McGinn for taking the time to meet with Commissioner Stern yesterday and discuss the details of our plan and the merits of our fine city. Bringing the NBA back to Seattle is a community effort, and having our local officials and business leaders come forward like they have is critical to our success.
I also just wanted to share that both the Mayor and Commissioner Stern had appraised me of the meeting weeks in advance, and that this was not the surprise that some have tried to portray. As I am sure all of you can appreciate, it's not my responsibility to share all of the intimate details of this process with the press, or even my own PR firm (which was the case here). I'm not sure why people try to create drama where it doesn't exist, but I'm just here to let you all know McGinn and I are 100% on the same page on this.
— Chris Hansen
Joe Borich says
I agree with Job Geiger. Mayor McGinn showed great understanding and cultural affinity toward China and the people with whom he interacted throughout his stay there. In my judgment his behavior was entirely appropriate at all times. I frankly do not recall the incident described in Ms. Ng's post, or anything remotely like it. Mayor McGinn's visit to our Chinese sister city Chongqing in March – the first by a Seattle mayor in nearly 30 years – was an unblemished advancement for our region's commercial, academic and cultural interests in China.
Joe Borich, President
Jon Geiger says
Seems that people are missing the big picture here. Mayor McGinn is the first Seattle Mayor in 30 years to visit Chongqing. Mayor McGinn did an outstanding job representing our City and region, and he and Darell Smith showed great leadership in taking the time to build stronger cultural and economic ties between our countries and cities. At a time when we really needed it, our City Leaders stepped up.
More practice and more bai jiu will take care of toasting details!

The Lead Ball, Flints, Powder & Tents, I have ordered to be sent on first to Springfield, and the Cannon to Cambridge, expecting to receive your Excellency's special Orders respecting them, before I shall be able to remove them all to that place—There are also great Quantities of Rum, Molasses, Flour, Rice & Salt in this place, belonging to the United States, which the Commissary is sending back to different places, between this & Springfield; so that the public Expence will be very considerable here—Must therefore depend on Your Assistance for procuring a further Supply of Monies, and thank your Excellency for the promised Aid, shall desire Mr Hancock to write immediately to Congress on the same Subject.
A very disagreable report prevails here this day viz. that the Enemy have landed a Body of Troops at Fairfield, marched to Danbury, & burnt all our Stores at that place—which I hope in God is not true—I think our Stores are collected in too large Quantities—The more considerable the Magazines, the more they attract the Attention of the Enemy, who will not fail to venture great Hazards to destroy them, well knowing that the best appointed Army will be reduced to Extremity thereby—Should not the magazines be scattered in the Rear of the Army, & at considerable distance one from the other—I must confess I am in pain on Account of the large Quantities of Stores, & provisions which are deposited at Ticonderoga, which alone are an Object that will not fail to engage the Attention of the Enemy; & are in my Opinion If I may be allowed to express it, too many to be trusted at an Out post situated as that of Ticonderoga is.
I have enclosed your Excellency a Sketch of a Return of the Regiments here—It is by no means accurate, but the best that I can obtain—The number march'd is more than is born on the Returns in that Column—the Total considerably greater—but it is almost impossible to get the Returns3—the Committee refuse to commission some Officers—I suppose such Officers withhold the Returns of their Men—A considerable number of Officers have also received Inlisting Orders from the Assembly & are not as yet arranged in any Regiment—from such, Returns are not obtained by me.
I shall invariably continue to push on the Troops.
I have been oblig'd to order a Guard of 20 men to remain at Springfield, to guard the Magazine &c.—they mount Six men daily—the 20 gives them three Relieves—Some Gentlemen of the place have offered to raise a Guard for the purpose aforesaid, if the Continent will pay them, provided they remain in the Town—Should be glad of your Excellency's Opinion & direction—should it be adopted, 20 men now detained may join the Army.
Our Frigates have not yet put to Sea—A number of private Ships are fitting to sail with them which is to be very soon—with a determination to clear the Bay.

3. A copy of this return of the fifteen Continental regiments being raised in Massachusetts, dated 1 May and signed by Heath's aide-de-camp Jonathan Pollard, is in the Heath Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society. The docket says that it was "Transmitted to his Excellency Genl Washington May 1st 1777." For the seven Massachusetts regiments assigned to the northern army, the return shows that 2,260 officers and men had been raised and that 2,880 had marched toward Ticonderoga, the glaring discrepancy noted by Heath in the text. For the eight regiments assigned to the main army, the return shows that 2,446 officers and men had been raised and 1,000 had marched toward Peekskill. The return includes several notes regarding the strength and marching of particular regiments. Heath says in his letter to the Massachusetts council of 2 May that "upon looking over the returns I find that Upwards of 1700, men have marchd to Tyconderoga and Upwards of 1100 to Peeks-Kill, and that Several Detachments march this Day" (MHi: Heath Papers).

Home Theatre Theatre review: Singin' in the Rain tugs with a nostalgic heart
Theatre review: Singin' in the Rain tugs with a nostalgic heart
Royal City Musical Theatre celebrates 30 years with stage version of a film classic

The big question on everyone's mind at the opening of Royal City Musical Theatre's (RCMT) production of Singin' in the Rain was how they were going to deal with the title number?
For anyone who knows the 1952 movie starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, on which this stage version is based, that scene has become one of the most iconic moments in film history (if you're not familiar, you should really do yourself a favour and Google it).
And even though the idea of sending thousands of liters of water down on the Massey Theatre stage may have only been a pipe dream, the anticipation on just how this largely non-professional company would handle this huge technical challenge did build some anticipation through the show's first half. And while the solution doesn't literally make a splash, the low-tech solution still provided sufficient theatrical magic.
Overcoming its inherent technical challenges though is only part of this show's equation. To be truly successful it needs chemistry, effervescent staging, choreography, plus both acting and vocal skills. These are essentials not only to carry those familiar with the movie, but to have enough pizzazz for the newbie to overcome its rather slight book. Fortunately, the RCMT production succeeds in most of this criteria.
Before delving into this production further tough, for those who are unfamiliar with this classic movie, upon which this stage adaptation is built, it is the story of silent film heartthrobs Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont. Romantically linked in the eyes of the tabloids and public, Lamont's feelings for Lockwood are not reciprocated.

Under pressure after the successful release of The Jazz Singer, the first movie with sound, the studio makes the decision to turn their latest silent feature from "The Dueling Cavalier" into "The Dancing Cavalier."
The problem is Lamont's shriek of a voice doesn't translate well to this new movie format. Saving the day is the ingénue Kathy Selden who dubs her voice over Lamont's for the film. Not only helping to save the film, Selden and Lockwood have fallen head-over-heels for each other, much to the irritation of Lamont.
True to form for RCMT, the choreography and vocals are all top-notch. A hallmark of director and choreographer Valerie Easton, she once again demonstrates she is not afraid to push her primarily community and pre-professional cast to their limits. And when this ensemble comes together in some of this show's biggest numbers, highlighted by the wildly over-the-top "Broadway Melody" and the group reprise of the title number at its finale, it is absolutely glorious to watch.
Musical director James Bryson, who celebrates his own 30th anniversary alongside the company this year, gets the most of his leads, this large ensemble, and his orchestra.
Both Andrew Cohen and Tessa Trach, who play Lockwood and Selden respectively, are top-notch singers. They are ably supported in the vocal department by Blake Sartin as Lockwood's pal Cosmo Brown.
It is Robyn Wallis as Lina Lamont however who gives the star turn in this show though, playing the ditzy blonde to hilarious effect.
Special mention also has to go to Dane Smit in "Beautiful Girl", who collectively took the audience's breath away with his vocal abilities. Providing a clear, precise and feeling rendition as the featured singer in this production number, with a little coaching in dance and acting he will definitely be one to watch.
But while the music is not a problem for this young company, unfortunately the same cannot be said about some of the acting, including the lack of real chemistry between Cohen and Trach. And when you consider Singin' in the Rain is as much a love story as it is a folly about the 1920's transition from silent films to "talkies", it is problematic.

Ironically, this lack of chemistry is highlighted in Cohen's rendition of the title song which never quite makes us believe he truly is "ready for love".
Director Easton doesn't help matters though in some of the more intimate scenes between the two. This is especially true as the two take their first walk together onto the passarelle, which largely feels like an excuse to use this part of the stage.
Other parts of Easton's staging also feels a bit clumsy, especially in the early-goings. No doubt hampered by the seemingly endless scene transitions, there is also a sense some of the more intricate maneuverings are under-rehearsed. The addition of background players, another of Easton's brand, becomes unnecessarily distracting.
Perhaps in an attempt to distance themselves from their more famous movie counterparts, Peter Stainton goes too big as film director Peter Dexter, and while one can forgive Sartin for having to mime his way through his piano playing, he decides to go a little too snarky.
Once again Christopher David Gauthier has the enviable task of dressing such a large group in sometimes spectacular fashion, and Brian Ball's set design provides the much-needed space for the show's big numbers and numerous transitions.
The filmed sequences are top-notch over-the-top fun, adding an air of authenticity to this musical about Hollywood.
The choice of Singin' in the Rain as the 30th anniversary milestone for RCMT is interesting. A new show for the long-running company's repertoire, one would have thought the more obvious decision would be to bring back an all-time favourite.
But then, after three decades RCMT surely knows its audience, and while it doesn't always deliver the goods there is still enough nostalgia and good-nature fun.
Singin' in the Rain, based on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures. Screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Greeen and songs by Nacio Brown and Arthur Freed. A Royal City Musical Theatre production. On stage at Massey Theatre (735 8th Ave, New Westminster) until April 20. Visit royalcitymusicaltheatre.com for tickets and information.

What's behind the success of China's social commerce app Pinduoduo?
How does Pinduoduo do social commerce? What are the secrets to its success? And is there anything that other companies – both within China and in the west – can learn from it?
By Rebecca Sentance May 22nd 2020 14:45
In 2020, social commerce in the west is just beginning to come into its own, with social networks like Pinterest, Facebook and Instagram responding to a clear trend from users towards generating sales and looking for product inspiration by giving them the tools to sell directly within the platform.
But in China, social commerce – the merging of social networking and online shopping functionality – has been the norm for years, with users taking it for granted that they can shop for products on the same platforms that they use to socialise, and vice versa.
Even in China, however, you could argue that no company has quite harnessed the "social" part of "social commerce" quite like Pinduoduo. Pinduoduo (拼多多), whose name loosely translates to "join together more more", is a group buying app where shoppers can secure deals by purchasing items in groups – the more friends they can secure, the better the discount for everyone, and the faster Pinduoduo grows.
In the space of a few years, Pinduoduo has gone from being an up-and-coming disruptor and a steadily-growing threat to incumbent ecommerce giants Alibaba and JD.com to securing its place in the top three most valuable Chinese ecommerce companies – and as of 13th May, overtaking JD.com as China's second-most valuable online retailer.
Pinduoduo's rise to success hasn't been without its bumps in the road, and the company is currently still loss-making, grappling with the challenge of expanding its business into new markets while retaining its hold on those markets (China's less-wealthy 'lower tier' cities) that brought it such success in the first place.
However, five years on from its founding in 2015, it's clear that Pinduoduo isn't just a flash-in-the-pan – and it is taking steps to make sure it remains a force to be reckoned with. In the past six months, Pinduoduo has partnered with Amazon, introduced livestreaming to its platform and bought into a major appliance retailer in exchange for the right to sell its products at a discount.
Let's take a closer look at how Pinduoduo does social commerce, the secrets to its success, and whether there's anything that other companies – both within China and in the west – can learn from it.

Love is Everywhere: Has It Really Been 4 Months?
This is the part where I would place a really cute sad face. When I think of what makes me happy my blog was always my first thought; however, so much time went by, and with so much time that went by I felt so guilty. I can't believe how much I have neglected "Love is Everywhere". Life has been extremely crazy this past year and I have to put my excuse in that the last 4 months were extraordinarily crazy as those months lead up to our Wedding.
Charlie & I got married on August 17th and it was the most beautiful, memorable, so filled with love day. A day we could never make again because it's a once in a lifetime experience for us and those we love and care for were there to celebrate. It was so amazing. So let me start off what I hope is a new beginning for "Love is Everywhere". There sure was Love Everywhere on August 17th!

WSTale » Fashion » Francesco Risso on Rethinking the Fashion Show
Francesco Risso on Rethinking the Fashion Show
Lottie Casas September 26, 2021
Francesco Risso has been creative director at Marni since 2016, mixing the Milanese fashion house's explosive prints and prim but off-kilter silhouettes with his own bold and often playful aesthetic. On Saturday, 18 months after Marni's last physical runway show, the onetime protégé of Miuccia Prada upped the ante yet again with an experimental live event. Here, he explains why.
What was so different about your spring/summer 2022 runway show?
This season, after so many months apart, I wanted to cancel any division between the observer and the observed. In practice, this meant that we decided to dress every single person attending our show on Saturday in a bespoke Marni ensemble. The fitting process started almost a week ago, on Monday, and has been beautiful. We played music. We had a big team working around the clock. Guests trying clothes on with you again, and telling you in that moment how that makes them feel, felt joyful.
Isn't putting on a normal fashion show a stressful-enough experience, let alone adding hundreds of extra fittings?
We had about 500 people coming to the show, so it has been a big undertaking. But dressing people for moments in their lives — making clothes for them, their tastes and their personalities — is at the base of what we do. So it has given us so many new moments of personal interaction, a chance to re-engage and build ties and have discussions after so much time apart.
The experience reminded me of another, older time in fashion, when the masters would really know their clients, with designers hosting small shows with direct relationships. I wanted to channel that.
Where did you source all these garments?
It has been challenging. I didn't want there to be a division with the new collection being shown, but it was also important for me to have repurposing at the core of the community participation aspect. So the audience looks all come out of past seasons — upcycled pieces where there might have been excess stock or production defects, for example, and then we also used recycled nylon to knit shoes or create new patches or hems. Each one has been hand-painted, so no single look is the same.
How much of this idea was inspired by lockdown?
I think in some ways, the pandemic propelled a tighter sense of a global Marni community. People participated more actively and creatively with our house. They have been writing songs for Marni, composing poetry, painting their own prints on clothes, then sharing that with us online. I loved that and wanted to engage that virtual mood and bottle it and bring it into reality. It's almost like our own little 'Marni-land' and the show is one way more family will expand into this world we've been building.
But I was also thinking about sports this season. It's not a sporty collection, but I thought about the philosophy of how a team works — how interactive and healthy the relationship is between everyone that is taking part in a match. I wanted to incorporate some of that. And the coach isn't me. The coach is our heartbeat, bringing us together as one.
Is the pandemic forcing the fashion industry to evolve?
We all complained about how relentless the cycle was before Covid. But for Marni at least, a forced stop has made us slow down and think more about what we do in a focused way. Specifically, how do we nurture relationships with our customers and those who have supported our brands when they suddenly feel so far away, through social media, through film and now when we can potentially be reunited in person. The pivot to digital media has also provoked some really thoughtful creativity in terms of presenting clothes — it will be interesting to see where that goes.
Ultimately, however, when you do what we do, it is hard to deny the importance of touch. And our practice is about making things with our hands. So to unite for a fashion show once again feels like a true joy and privilege.
This conversation, first aired on Instagram Live, has been edited and condensed.
