We are back from our first family holiday for my brother's and my new sister-in-law's wedding and it was just wonderful – as you are reading this I am still in mourning for it and trying to cheer myself up by constantly scrolling through the pictures. However, I am happy to report that travelling with a toddler was no way as bad as I had suspected it would be (more on that to come) and that I have broken my 5 year flying haitus to address my fear – I flew!
Anyway I digress so let's get back to the fashion. Now I'm already an established fan of the flamingo and the cactus and have been known to enjoy a pineapple in my home in the past but never did I imagine a crustacean making it into my repertoire – least of all into my wardrobe!
Sunglasses, Scarlett of Soho. T Shirt, H&M (not available online). Shorts, GAP. Bag, Next.
My current love in with red has a lot to answer for and would wholly explain the main reason why I had to have this t-shirt when I popped into H&M recently – something I'm glad I did it as I have enjoyed wearing it ever since and have received some lovely compliments on it too. It looks just as great with a blazer and jeans as it does with shorts and sliders as I learned last week in France. Although technically Astacus (latin for Crayfish – everyday is a school day) is not a lobster it does fall in the same category as it's larger relative. The picture does not do it justice but the little fella is actually embellished with what I can only describe as tiny clear pearls so the image is actually raised – something Daisy gets plenty of enjoyment from.

The teaser about the launch in Beijing does not reveal much, but phones with model numbers HRY-TL00T and HRY-AL00Ta appeared on TENAA with the same front-facing camera and a triple main setup on the back.
While the Honor 20i got a promo video to show itself, the Huawei subsidiary is actually planning another product launch at the event – Honor Magicbook 2019. It is a pretty obvious take on Apple's MacBooks, but we have to wait until next Wednesday for full details.

Then-New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies directs his team in December 2013 against Gonzaga.
Published Saturday, April 16, 2016 | 10:42 a.m.
Updated Saturday, April 16, 2016 | 11:46 a.m.
Marvin Menzies withdrew his name from consideration for the UNLV basketball head coach job in late March when it became clear officials were targeting another coach.
But Chris Beard — that other coach — lasted just seven days on the job before the coaching carousel brought him Friday to Texas Tech.
Menzies, the nine-year New Mexico State coach, was still a phone call away. And he was willing to take the call.
UNLV acted quickly in filling its unexpected vacancy, agreeing in principle with Menzies to become the Rebels' next head coach, the school announced today. The contract still has to be submitted to the Nevada Board of Regents for approval.
The 54-year-old Menzies is no stranger to the UNLV program; he served as an assistant on Lon Kruger's Rebels staff in 2004-05. He was a Louisville assistant from 2005-07 before landing the New Mexico State job — his first as a head coach.
"Marvin is an experienced head coach with UNLV and west coast roots who knows what it takes to build and maintain a winning college basketball program," UNLV President Len Jessup said in a statement. "He is a dynamic recruiter and proven leader who understands the proud tradition of UNLV basketball, and we look forward to welcoming him back to campus."
Menziez posted a 198-111 record at New Mexico State with five berths in the NCAA Tournament in nine seasons. His teams were 0-5 in NCAA Tournament games.
In Western Athletic Conference play the past two seasons, New Mexico State is 26-2 with a pair of league titles. It won the league tournament five times, including four straight seasons from 2012-15. He has coached two All-Americans at New Mexico State and two league players of the year.
"We are looking forward to bringing Marvin Menzies back to UNLV as our men's basketball head coach," UNLV Athletics Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy said. "He has connections to our university and our community, and respects the tradition of Runnin' Rebel basketball.
Menzies' contract at New Mexico State runs through the 2018-19 season with an annual base salary of $288,971, according to the Las Cruces Sun-News. It could reach $400,000 with incentives.
Menzies won't officially be the UNLV coach until his contract is approved by the Nevada Board of Regents. It took nearly two weeks for the regents to meet after Beard and UNLV agreed in principle on a contract. That luxury won't exist this time.
UNLV has just three remaining players in the program from last season, and Menzies will be severely behind in recruiting. The spring signing period started Wednesday.

THE DUEL VIDEO PREMIERE!
London punks THE DUEL are re-releasing their classic concept album The Soundtrack to The End of The World and are trailing it with a new video.
'Less Every Day' is taken from the album which was originally released back in 2012 and features Max Splodge as narrator. Subtitled The Zak Splash Story, the album tells the tale of a fictional pop-star who has a comeback hit in the new millennium.
Formed by singer Tara Rez and keyboardist Andy Thierum in 2001, the band was brought to a premature end when Thierum was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
There is no cure for MS, but a portion of the proceeds from sales of this reworked, remixed and remastered edition of the album will go to the MS Society who support those living with the condition, raise awareness and fund research to stop MS for good.
Soundtrack To The End Of The World (The Zak Splash Story) is set for release on 16 September. A new version of The Duel is currently arranging live dates in order to bring the band to a more fitting conclusion.

Simply a great little boat! well maintained with light use from the current owner. (some cushions are still in the plastic rappers!) This Barracuda is a unique concept, designed and manufactured by Beneteau in France. It has a Sporty & Streamlined Hull plus the benefit of a Pilothouse.
Located in Jersey ad viewing a must if you're in the market for a Barracuda.
Inside Curtains (Sides, Picture Window & Windscreen).
2nd Windscreen Wiper & Washer.
42 Ltr Refrigerator & Additional 12v 110ah Battery.
Exterior Cushions in PVC Diamante Storm Upholstery.
Inside, the Barracuda 7 favours comfort when cruising. The two side doors on the wheelhouse ventilate the boat well and make movement on board easier. The driver's bolster seat, a control panel ready to receive a full range of electronic equipment, and 360° visibility contribute to her safety and the pleasure of driving. The small galley, double berth and independent heads reveal a level of accommodation unusual on this type of outboard. The mahogany woodwork matches the laminated parquet floor perfectly, as well as the soft tones of the upholstery, making the atmosphere warm and cosy.
The Barracuda 7's large planing hull was studied specifically to optimise performance and maintain good stability. With an outboard engine of up to 200HP her cruising speed is 25 knots reaching 35 knots at top speed.
She has easy access through two side doors and the wheelhouse walk around makes movement on deck easy and safe, while giving you a feel of space. The huge well-opened cockpit offers nearly 4 square meters of practical space where you can also relax.


The White House's Open Government Directive, issued in December 2009, mandated that federal departments and agencies develop and implement open government plans to advance transparency of their data and encourage participation and collaboration. Since then, agencies have been rolling out everything from new wikis to redesigned Web sites to IT dashboards to comply with the directive and make government data more accessible.
But not all open government Web sites are created equal; some, in fact, deliver a downright awful user experience, according to Information Week's list of the 12 worst government Web sites.

SIMITIAN HONORED FOR "EXPOSING THE SECRET" OF BREAST CANCER DETECTION
SACRAMENTO – State Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) was recently honored by a breast cancer advocacy group for championing legislation to improve breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue.
Simitian was named the Are You Dense? Champion of "Exposing the Secret" for his work authoring Senate Bill 1538. Signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in September, SB 1538 requires that following a mammogram, women with dense breast tissue be informed of the following:
•	That they have dense breast tissue;
•	That dense breast tissue can make it harder to evaluate the results of a mammogram;
•	That it is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer;
•	That information about breast density is given to discuss with their doctor; and
•	That a range of screening options are available.
An estimated 40 percent of women who have mammograms have dense breast tissue. Because dense breast tissue appears white on a mammogram, and cancer also appears white, it can be difficult to see the cancer.
The bill makes California just the fifth state with a breast density notification law (following Connecticut, Texas, Virginia and New York.) SB 1538 will take effect April 1, 2013.
"It's incredibly gratifying to be recognized for this legislation," said Simitian. "But it's even more gratifying to know that because of our efforts, lives will be saved. This bill is about a patient's right to know. Patients with dense breast tissue need to know that it can hide a cancer, and that additional screening options are available. Early detection is the key."
The award was presented to Simitian by Amy Colton, a Santa Cruz resident, nurse and breast cancer survivor who suggested the bill idea in 2011 in Simitian's "There Oughta Be a Law" contest. Colton was never informed of her breast density during years of routine mammograms, and only discovered that she had dense breasts after completing her treatment for cancer.
Colton presented the award on behalf of the board of directors of Are You Dense, Inc., an advocacy organization dedicated to informing the public about dense breast tissue and its impact on early detection.
"Senator Simitian is a true champion in every sense of the word, and so deserving of this award. He took on this issue because he believes in the fundamental right of women to be informed of pertinent health information about their own physiology," said Colton. "Despite last year's veto, he did not give up and the women of California now have him to thank for opening the door to early detection of breast cancer for women with dense breast tissue. Having worked side-by-side with him for the past two years, I witnessed his heartfelt desire to move this bill forward because of its potential to save lives. It was a monumental feat that demonstrates his deep commitment to the health and welfare of his constituents."
"This award recognizes the incredible work Senator Simitian did carrying the breast density inform bill across the finish line," said Dr. Nancy Cappello, president and founder of Are you Dense, Inc. "The bill faced so many hurdles, but in the end, it was a major victory for early detection for California women. Innumerable number of women and their families will benefit from this life-saving legislation."
A similar Simitian bill was vetoed by Governor Brown in 2011. Since Brown's veto last year, New York and Virginia have joined the roster of states with breast density notification laws, and two separate studies from the first year of a similar law's implementation in Connecticut have shown a 100 percent increase in breast cancer detection rates in women with dense breast tissue who had supplementary screenings.

Hail to the Crown Prince!
With the world changing at astonishing speed and the Western world unable to recognise its own structural crisis, it is important for the Muslims to take stock of where they are, and indeed where they are not, and look with new eyes onto everything.
In the West a massive crisis came under the impact of a slave religion which saw a transformation, involving its collapse over hundreds of years, first in two and then into pieces, gradually spreading its tentacles across Europe. So potent was the new religion promising bodily resurrection, that the structural crisis was engulfed in the dynamics of the emerging solution through the broken failure of the primal vision that split ancient Rome. The idea of democracy, in itself no more the philosopher's metaphor, was soon overwhelmed by the events which saw the emergence of a new style of government. As Ferguson said:
"The government, by this revolution, devolved on the senate and nobles."
"The government of Rome, as it is represented after the expulsion of the king, was becoming entirely aristocratical."
The disenfranchised majority continued to grow with the expansion of Rome into an Empire. Gaius Marius 'The Peoples General' transferred the power to the Roman army. In the bloody civil war we saw the upheaval as power transferred to the brutal dictatorship of the aristocrat Sulla. Under his dictatorship, Sulla revitalised the republic, but it was Marius who had made the structural transformation – the power now rested with the army. So when his nephew emerged from the reformed senate he took over. This was Julius Caesar.
So it was that the European state, trapped in the state abysmally depressed by the wealth of the church, found itself helpless until the emergence of a radical revision of catholiscism. At that point French intellectuals turned to history and among the plethora of documents came out the famous 'Vindiciae Contra Tyrannos' in which the author signed himself off as Brutus. This was the second point in the political transformation that ended with the failure of the roman church to halt the new thinking that dominated an ethos of free-thinking.
The next major event in Western history comes when a group of settlers rebelled against the taxes imposed from Britain. In the true spirit of christian persecution they fell upon the great nations then governing the whole landmass of America. Once the continent was annexed, they called California the 'Last Frontier.' The country was founded, in defiance of his oath of office, by a rebel general and a handful of lawyers (the general worshipped Caesar, an ominous beginning). He then proceeded to massacre all but a handful of the great American peoples in what remains the greatest genocide of a nation, unequalled in history until the German persecution of the Jews. There was no talk then or later of Wilson's doctrine "the right of self-determination."
So here we are at the third stage of world evolution. The mistaken idea that history would repeat itself, which it does not, to cover over the abysmal failure in confronting the inevitable uprising of the Saddami forces, renaming them ISIS, has resulted in chaos and making the Egyptian dictatorship an ally. The third talk of a coalition makes no sense to western intellectuals. The Kurds cannot both be allies and terrorists, and they well know that they are the only force fighting the Saddami incursion into Syria.
While all this chaos has been unfolding it is important that the Muslims do not fail to recognise the profound change that has taken place with the death of the King in Arabia. The inheritance passed for the last time in the line of brotherhood. In a burst of inspiration and vigour, the new King declared his son the Crown Prince. It was the end of an epoch and the beginning of a new one. Backed by a new foreign secretary, speaking perfect English, and thinking with a quite new ideology, the following things happened:
The foreign secretary announced he was ready to put soldiers on the ground to fight what we would call the khawarij.
The 'prayer police', the terror of the malls, had their right to arrest removed.
There then followed the announcement that the Saudis were going to 'diversify' their economy.
What we have to realise is that this is a new order in Arabia that has to be supported by the Muslims. And it must also be appreciated that we depend on this regime for the perfect and the impeccable organising of the Hajj. It is important that Indonesia puts itself under the guidance of the Crown Prince and we all look to them for a renewal and revitalisation of the Deen in our time.
The event of the Georgian Programme, or rather, its result, the situation, has proved to be one of the pivotal tremors which indicate a profound tectonic shift of the continental plates. The landscape is irrevocably altered. As a result of the incursion into Georgia and that tiny country's political response, everything has changed. The very…

Co-innovation with big business is big business for NGCs
There is an innate creative spirit among London's entrepreneurs that the capital's bigger corporates must harness in order to continue to innovate and grow.
Start-ups and bigger businesses share that very same growth motive and there is a growing trend of co-innovation where larger businesses look upon start-ups as collaborative partners.
Agile, fast-growth start-ups can bring plenty to the table for even the most heavyweight of corporates. New and Growing Companies excel at getting successful proof of concepts off the ground and with larger companies often better at scaling those proof of concepts, by working together they can benefit the economy and the business ecosystem itself.
Start-ups don't need to be viewed with disdain by bigger companies and as fresh meat on the food chain. By building meaningful relationships with corporates, young businesses can illuminate new ways of doing business to big companies with more complex systems and processes. On the other side of the coin, corporates increasingly need to keep New and Growing Companies close in order to better understand how their industry is evolving.
Here are a few reasons why some of the biggest and best-known corporations are working closer than ever with start-ups to grow their business and transform their respective industries:
Working with or investing in start-ups can be more cost-effective than internal R&D
Investing time and money in start-up innovators can actually be less expensive and more cost-effective than a corporate's own research and development. Internal R&D will rarely break new ground in the same way that an innovative start-up can. New and Growing Companies can secure big investment from corporates to push and break boundaries and the corporates secure a stake in their future.
Just this month, machine learning start-up Magic Pony Technology, alumni of Workspace customer and tech incubator, Entrepreneur First - based in The Biscuit Factory - was bought by Twitter for more than £100 million, building on the social media network's "other investments made in machine learning" including Madbits and Whetlab. Twitter is a perfect example of a global giant that's invested in innovation with Twitter Ventures supporting the efforts of creators across the globe.
Start-ups rejuvenate corporate culture
It's a fact of business that larger corporations are more risk averse than their younger, smaller adversaries. By working with New and Growing Companies, corporates can rejuvenate their working culture, making their organisation more agile and open to new market trends and emerging technologies.
New and Growing Companies have an infectious entrepreneurial mind-set and their fresh thinking and lean approaches can help recast corporate brands by rejuvenating both the way they think internally and their external presence.
Solving key business issues
Put simply, New and Growing Companies bring talent, ambition and innovation in spades. For corporates seeking a solution to a key business problem in a quick, cost-effective manner, partnering with start-ups offers something less risky to their core business offering.
Whether it's strategically expanding into new sectors or markets, New and Growing Companies can provide the necessary agility to compete in fast-moving, emerging industries.
Acknowledging the challenges of start-up/corporate partnerships
Achieving those business goals does not come without its challenges. Start-ups and corporates need to be prepared to tackle mismatched working cultures, confusing points of contact, unyielding internal procedures, misaligned strategic departmental goals and incentive schemes.
But by overcoming those hurdles, New and Growing Companies can benefit greatly from the validation, experience and routes to market that big businesses can offer, arming them with the tools to grow quicker.
At Workspace we offer a packed calendar of business and networking events throughout the year that could be perfect for any corporate company looking to build contacts with some of London's most talented New and Growing Companies based in a Workspace building.
