The Northridge Pacers Track Club is an organization that promotes youth fitness and team spirit through our Youth Track and Youth Cross Country programs (Ages 5 to 16). Through these programs, we believe that we make a small contribution to the growth and success of our children. All services are provided by volunteers, whether it be coaching or administrative duties. The fees we charge are given back to our children in the form of trophies, ribbons, and a picnic, as well as maintaining and replacing the necessary equipment.
We join similar organizations in friendly competition. Our signups are open to any youngster in the greater Los Angeles area. No athlete is turned away. We teach them skills and stress that they have a good time, but also point out that if something is worth doing, it demands their time, attention and devotion. This, obviously, has been a successful approach, as the Pacers has grown to become a club of over 250 athletes. Many of the Club's runners have won National Championships, City High School Championships and others have become simply better citizens because of their experience with the club.
Our motivation is the concept of run for fun; everyone is a winner just by his or her participation. With this attitude, we feel we can best help our young develop in body and mind, and be better able to deal with the challenges of school and life.
We find our athletes, parents, and sponsors similarly motivated.


Oracle WMS automates and optimizes material handling processes to reduce labor costs, improve facility utilization, increase order accuracy and provide innovative services to customers. Oracle Warehouse Management supports inbound, outbound, and reverse logistics, finished, raw and work in process materials, manufacturing and distribution environments and advanced value-added services such as kitting and cross docking.
Oracle Warehouse Management is part of the Oracle Supply Chain Execution solution and integrates seamlessly with other Supply Chain Execution products, including Oracle Order Management, and Oracle Transportation Planning.
Customers interested in using WMS to manage warehouse operations now have much more flexibility in choosing the deployment mode. Prior to this release, WMS can be installed only as an integrated module within the E-Business Suite instance. With this feature, it's possible to deploy WMS in a distributed environment that is physically decoupled from the E-Business Suite instance. This feature also comes with a predefined integration based on Oracle Data Integration (ODI) tool. The ODI maps can be used to interface master data and transaction information between distributed WMS and host system.
This feature makes it possible to leverage the latest features in WMS R12.1.1 with an EBusiness suite installation that is on an older application release e.g. 11.5.10. Distributed WMS can potentially also be used with a non-EBS host system.
Distributed WMS also ensure greater availability of WMS instance. Since WMS will be a physically distinct deployment, any patching or maintenance activity on the host EBusiness suite will not impact WMS.
Warehouses that fulfill a large number of small orders can streamline their execution process using Wave Planning. Wave Planning offers a flexible and powerful tool to group order lines into waves. The planning features include tools to check stock and labor availability prior to releasing the wave to the warehouse floor. Wave Dashboard provides full visibility and monitoring of waves in real time from release to shipment.
Wave Planning also comes with an exception engine that can be configured to generate exceptions whenever wave execution deviates from acceptable standards. These exceptions allow warehouse management to take corrective action in a proactive mode.
Wave Planning also includes task planning features that can be used to group and dispatch tasks based on execution criteria.
Pull Replenishment: This type of replenishment is useful for items with high uniform demand in forward pick area. A replenishment suggestion will be auto-created as soon as a shortfall is detected during order release process.
Push Replenishment: This type of replenishment is useful for items with irregular demand in forward pick area. Using push replenishment, the aggregated future demand for an item is replenished to a forward pick area for future order picking activity.
Dynamic Execution: The dynamic replenishment execution feature orchestrates the warehouse tasks in such a way that pick tasks to a forward pick area will be dispatched only when replenishment has been completed. Similarly a replenishment task will be dispatched only when a forward pick area has enough capacity to receive the replenished material.
These features provide tremendous productivity benefits to a warehouse engaged in distribution activity. Replenishment to forward pick area will allow distribution center to reap the benefits of bulk procurement and optimized storage in a reserve area as well as optimized picking for order profiles with smaller quantities.
Improve transaction execution speed by hiding or defaulting fields on a mobile transaction form.
Improve transaction accuracy by defaulting a value in field using a user defined logic.
Allow recording of additional data on a mobile transaction form using flex fields.
All the above changes to a mobile transaction form can be made using a user friendly configuration screen without resorting to code changes that are expensive to complete and difficult to maintain.
Organizations leveraging both Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) and Oracle Warehouse Management (WMS) can now make use of additional integrations between the two products to drive distribution efficiencies. OTM can schedule shipments to dock doors and sequence the loading of trailers at the doors based on time required, door availability and stop sequence for drop offs. With this feature, the dock doors, the dock door appointments and sequence of loads into a trailer can be synchronized with WMS.
Even in the most efficient manufacturing and distribution networks, quality issues may arise. Packages may arrive damaged from transportation; defects may be detected in manufacturing long after the product has left the production center; or quality issues may affect only some of the LPNs produced in a manufacturing batch. With this feature, the material status model has been extended to provide License Plate (LPN) level holds.
Put individual pallets, cases or totes on hold without impacting the rest of the lot or the batch.
Place holds on material that is neither lot nor serial controlled without moving that material to a quarantine location for speedier intervention when issues are discovered.
Separate the physical movement of material and changes to the material status into different responsibilities, which will prevent the accidental change of material status when material is moved.
In consumer packaged goods industry, its common requirement to have the goods packed into containers with UCC-128 labeling. While the ability to print UCC-128 label already exists in WMS R12, this feature makes it easy to manage varied compliance needs of customers in consumer packaged goods industry based on customer's ASN preference e.g. pallet level ASN or case level ASN, order type e.g. bulk order, store order, etc. This feature will also allow printing of sequential carton count on label e.g. "1 of 3", "2 of 3", etc. and also allow generation of ITF-compliant (I 2 of 5 labeling standard) labels with shipping information.
This feature also introduces support for efficient "Case Picking". The case labels printed at order release can be assigned to pick operators. The operator can now perform case picks and either perform "Pick to Belt"or "Pick to Pallet" by scanning multiple case labels.
This feature is useful to pick items that are difficult to fulfill in exact order quantity.
Examples of such items are: Metal strips, Gas cylinders, fluid containers, paper rolls, wire bobbins, etc. Such items are typically stored or packed in non-standard quantities in the warehouse. Over shipment is a very common business practice for such items since it's not cost effective to cut, split or unpack the items in order to ship the exact ordered quantity.
In this feature WMS rules can be configured to over allocate containers that are within over shipping tolerance and at the same time closest to the requested quantity on the order. In this way WMS operators are directed to pick containers that require minimal material handling without entering any pick exception codes even though the pick quantity may be greater than requested quantity.
Certain industries and business situation require that an Order can not be fulfilled in the exact quantity. A good example is primary metal where an order for an item such as steel sheets can not be exactly fulfilled because it's expensive to cut a steel sheet to match the exact order quantity. In such situations, over allocation or under allocation is a normal business practice. This feature in Oracle WMS facilitates over allocation of an entire LPN provided it's within over shipment tolerance defined on the Order Line.
In a made to order manufacturing environment, the finished material is often packed into LPNs at manufacturing completion. In order to ensure that the manufactured material is fulfilled correctly, the entire LPN is reserved to the sales order. However it's a common business scenario to putaway the LPN within the warehouse prior to its eventual shipment to the customer. This feature allows a reserved LPN to be transferred or putaway within the warehouse while retaining the reservation for the customer. The reservation guarantees the supply for the order line while the system enables you to move reserved lots within an LPN throughout the warehouse.
The REUSE_LPNS API enables you to reuse LPNs and to review an LPN history. This API enables you to physically re-use returned containers after their contents have been issued out of stores, or returned using an RMA (return materials authorization).
One Step Pick and Pack Process i.e. picking of products directly into a shipping carton offers huge productivity gains as no downstream packaging is required. Oracle Warehouse Management System currently supports One Step Pick and Pack Process using cartonization and "pick by label" picking. This feature makes it possible to pick one or more orders (the cluster) directly into their respective shipping cartons (pick by label). With this feature it's now possible to get further productivity boost using one step pick and pack for several orders at once.
With cluster pick by label, labels are printed at pick release and manually distributed to operators based on criteria such as cart capacity. An operator scans multiple labels, and WMS facilitates interleaving of picks from several orders in one pass of the warehouse.
Distributed WMS deployment is an added feature delivered as a patch on R12.1. Until now Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Warehouse Management System (WMS) required the transaction source systems like Purchasing and Order Management and execution systems like WMS reside and operate within the same instance. With Distributed WMS deployment, it's possible for WMS to be installed on a separate physical instance that is independent from remaining applications of E-Business Suite such as Order Management, Purchasing and Financials. This feature gives powerful choices to customers to deploy WMS either as an "integrated" as a module within EBS or as a "distributed" and independent solution installed on a separate instance. Customers who want the latest WMS features in R12.1 can have WMS deployed on a separate instance without upgrade of the entire application suite. This feature also makes it possible to use Oracle WMS for warehousing operations along with an EBS or non-EBS host system. In addition, Warehouse with network connectivity issues can also consider a distribute WMS installation for an "always on" WMS solution.
Advanced Wave Planning is also being released as a patch on R12.1. Advanced wave planning provides advanced Pick Wave management functionality over and above what currently exists in pick release. Wave Planning is particularly useful for warehouses that fulfill a high volume of small order lines. Wave planning makes it easier to manage large order volume by grouping orders into waves and subsequently releasing them for execution and monitoring.
Using advanced Wave Planning warehouse managers can select order using simple criteria and group them into pick waves. In addition, advanced filters similar to WMS rules engine can be used to select orders for waves as well as create waves by constraining them to be within certain line count, weight, cube or value. Wave planning provides preview of lines and tasks, expected completion, fill rate and labor needs prior to release of the wave. Advanced wave planning also comes up with Wave Dashboard that can be used to view wave progress and drill down to detailed line or task status. The exception engine in wave planning can be configured for specific business case to proactively look for exceptions such that corrective action can be taken. For example, a severe exception can be triggered if 80% of the lines in a wave are not loaded to the trailer 30 minutes prior to dock appointment end time.
The other advanced wave planning feature is task planning. The task planning criteria can be used to configure the conditions under which tasks will be released automatically for execution.
Thanks for sharing nice info.You can also find information on Oracle apps on ebiztechnics.

Does caloric restriction really make you live longer?
Two major hypothetical mechanisms of aging were put to the test in this human trial, the latest from the CALERIE project.
Caloric Restriction
intermittent energy restriction (IER)
Study under review: Metabolic Slowing and Reduced Oxidative Damage with Sustained Caloric Restriction Support the Rate of Living and Oxidative Damage Theories of Aging
The cause of aging has been a central human question for millennia. While many of the early attempts to answer it were based on pseudoscientific concepts, a robust field of scientific literature has been built over the last several decades. As it is currently understood, biological aging is related primarily to cellular senescence[1], which is the process through which cells lose their ability to divide and function properly. As far as we know, cellular senescence seems to be caused by a variety of factors, which are summarized in Figure 1. Many of the approaches aimed at promoting longevity focus on reducing cellular senescence by influencing some of its underlying causes.
One of the main interventions that has been examined for increasing longevity has been caloric restriction. Caloric restriction has been used as an anti-aging therapy for two primary reasons: it reduces both overall metabolism and free radical production. Reductions in metabolism[2] as well as reductions in free radical production have been shown to reduce cellular senescence in mice and worms, giving an underlying rationale for utilizing caloric restriction as a therapeutic intervention to slow aging and increase longevity.
Currently, most of the experimental data on caloric restriction and the hard outcomes of longevity and aging (e.g. death) have been in model organisms such as nematodes (roundworms)[3], rodents[4], and monkeys[5] (albeit to a far lesser extent compared to the first two). The problem is that these investigations may not extrapolate well to humans for several reasons, since humans differ from these species in several ways, including: drastically different metabolic rates and profiles[6], different environmental exposures and responses[7], different causes of death[8], and some may even display different cellular senescent 'programs'[9].
Recently, large collaborative projects have emerged to begin examining the potential for caloric restriction as a tool to defend against aging and increase longevity in humans. The present study is part of one of these projects. It examined the effect of two years of caloric restriction on overall metabolism, hormonal function, and measures of oxidative stress.
Caloric restriction has been investigated as a tool to increase longevity for decades, primarily due to the idea that reducing overall metabolism and/or oxidative damage slows the processes of aging. To date, most of the data is in model organisms and very little evidence exists in humans. The present study was the first to examine the effect of long-term (two years) caloric restriction on metabolic rate and oxidative damage in humans.

QueryHelper
=================
This project was moved from CSharpQueryHelper.
It's now a library & nuget package. I renamed it to be more language agnostic.

Nuget page: https://www.nuget.org/packages/QueryHelper/

QueryHelper is a small lightweight library that utilizes functional constructs to help you run queries.
It manages all your sql connections, commands, parameters, and transactions.

All you do is supply:
1. a connection string.
2. some SQL.

And the QueryHelper manages the connection, command, reader, and transaction.

It's fully mockable so unit testing is a breeze (especially compared with mocking a DbCommand!)

Sample code including unit tests:

Red tape hurts families using Medicaid and CHIP
CHIP, health insurance, insurance, medicaid, Missouri, moleg
Missouri children rely on Medicaid and CHIP for health insurance. Medicaid and CHIP coverage is beneficial to children's health and has positive economic impacts. Healthy kids are more likely to graduate from high school and find the kind of jobs that contribute to the economy. Recently, Missouri has seen a significant drop in child enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP. 56,716 children lost coverage from January to December 2018.
A five year old with special health needs recently lost coverage due to problems during her annual review. Her family never received annual review forms in the mail. Her grandmother was unable to fill her prescriptions and the child was unable to attend her therapy appointments due to the loss of coverage. The child was still eligible for Medicaid. Legal Services of Eastern Missouri contacted the Family Support Division and supplied the missing form and coverage was restored.
Missouri's children are hurt by the Medicaid system's red tape, computer system problems, and staffing issues. The significant decline started after annual reviews resumed in the State's new Medicaid computer system. The annual review process is lengthy and difficult for families to navigate, causing many eligible children to lose coverage. Federal law says the state should only require a family to complete a paper review form when the state is unable to get the information through electronic databases. Following federal law, many other states have been able to electronically verify information for more than half of their families and avoid the need for long complicated paper forms.
Missouri has required more than eighty percent of families to return a paper form. Children are losing coverage when the form is sent to an old address, the Family Support Division loses the form, the form is sent in English to a parent with limited English proficiency, or the parent is otherwise unable to understand the eight page form. Also, because it is using two different computer systems, the Agency no longer extends Medicaid when a family's Food Stamps are renewed nor does it check the address in the Food Stamp file before sending the renewal form. The system is currently programmed to auto-close benefits (i.e., end coverage without manual intervention by Agency staff, rather than maintain benefits until all avenues are pursued). When families have questions, the Agency's call center routinely drops half of its calls and the families that get through average more than 20 minutes on hold.
Missouri legal aid offices are able to successfully assist these families in regaining coverage for their children who are almost always still eligible for health insurance. This success, however does not resolve problems for the thousands of families without such assistance. Families losing health insurance coverage can reach out to legal aid and other organizations that are able to provide assistance.

Q: SQL Server Query Join Across Servers Only Works With WHERE Statement I have a bizzare query problem.
I have a script developed in AS400/Iseries SQL which I needed to duplicate to an SQL Server.   One of the steps needs me to join from a work table on SQL Server to a table on the linked server AS400/Iseries.
So I run this on the SQL Server against a local table ROWS01 and the linked server AS400/Iseries table, SBWWEP.
Returns Nothing:-
SELECT R.Company,
       G.Company,
       R.GRN,
       G.GRN,

FROM [SQLDBase].dbo.ROWS01 R INNER JOIN AS400.ISERIES.LIBRARY1.SBWWEP G
           ON  R.Company = G.Company AND
               R.GRN     = G.GRN

WHERE R.Pos_Type = '2-GRN Single';

It returns no rows on SQL Server but the original AS400/Iseries script performing the same task returns lots.
I fiddled about a bit and found that the join doesn't work on SQL Server unless I put a literal in the WHERE condition. Why is this???
Returns Lots Of Rows:-
SELECT R.Company,
       G.Company,
       R.GRN,
       G.GRN,

FROM [SQLDBase].dbo.ROWS01 R INNER JOIN AS400.ISERIES.LIBRARY1.SBWWEP G
       ON  R.Company = G.Company AND
           R.GRN     = G.GRN

WHERE R.Pos_Type = '2-GRN Single';
AND   G.Company = '52'
AND   G.Company > '000000';

Lindsey Vogel-Teeter, Pueblo Grande Museum, 4619 E Washington Steet, Phoenix, AZ 85331, telephone (602) 495-0901, email lindsey.vogel-teeter@phoenix.gov.
Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects under the control of the Pueblo Grande Museum, Phoenix, AZ. The human remains and associated funerary objects were removed from Greenlee County, AZ.
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the Pueblo Grande Museum professional staff in consultation with representatives of the Hopi Tribe of Arizona; Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico; and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico (hereafter referred to as "The Tribes").
At an unknown date, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Double Circle Ranch near Eagle Creek in Greenlee County, AZ, by an unknown collector. In 1986, the human remains and associated funerary objects were identified in the collections of the Arizona Museum, which later became the Phoenix Museum of History. On September 10, 2009, the human remains and associated funerary objects were transferred from the Phoenix Museum of History (which closed in 2009) to the Pueblo Grande Museum. No known individual was identified. The fragmentary and cremated human remains belong to an adult, and are possibly male. The two associated funerary objects include an Alameda Brown ware ceramic jar and a red ware sherd. Alameda Brown ware dates between A.D. 700 and 1300. Based on the collecting location and associated funerary object type, these human remains are likely from the Mogollon archeological culture, which is Ancestral Puebloan.
Cultural continuity between Ancestral Puebloans and modern day Puebloan tribes is demonstrated by geographical, archeological, historical, architectural, and oral traditional evidence.
[top] The Hopi Tribe of Arizona considers all of Arizona to be within traditional Hopi lands or within areas where Hopi clans migrated in the past. Oral traditions and material culture demonstrate continuity between the prehistoric Mogollon archeological culture and the Hopi people.
The Pueblo of Acoma, New Mexico and the Zuni Tribe of the Zuni Reservation, New Mexico, are also affiliated with the Mogollon archeological culture.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the two objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American human remains and associated funerary objects and The Tribes.

If office renovation is on your mind, chances are that you already have a lot to worry about. Right from the office furniture to the wall colors to the flooring, everything needs to be right. The interiors need to be perfect and conducive for official work, while the flooring should complement the footfall in the premises. In the beginning, these might seem to be very trivial issues, but they have a long lasting impact on the quality and type of flooring you use in your office.
So here's a list of the flooring types which are ideal for your office.
Carpeted flooring is a good addition to your office interiors. Since most offices need insulation from outside noises, carpeted flooring can go a long way in keeping unwanted noises out. If you are someone who spends considerable amount of time walking barefoot in the office, then carpeted flooring is the choice to make. You can mix and choose between different colors, shades and styles, depending on the wall colors and the office furniture.
Easy to clean, available in different shades and long on durability, ceramic tiles are one of the best options when it comes to office flooring. Ideal for high traffic areas, ceramic tiles can be your best friend when you want to go for something which is easy on the pocket and on the cleaning perspective.
There are different types of hardwood flooring which are ideal for office flooring. Since there are a lot of types of hardwood flooring options to choose from, one can choose between bamboos, solid oak etc. It's a classic option which adds a subtle elegance to the flooring, making it an instant hit for areas which require stability and durability.
If you don't want to go for solid oak flooring, but are keen on the lookalike version, then laminated flooring is the answer you seek. Laminated flooring is an alternate option, which is available at a much lower price than solid oak flooring options. It's created in layers, and can mimic any kind of solid wooden flooring designs. Due to its layered composition, it is moisture resistant, which makes it ideal for tough situations.
Nature's very own stone can be used as a flooring option within offices. Even though it might not be ideal for an official environment, stone is gaining rapid popularity as a commercial flooring option. It adds a distinctive look to the décor, since it is scratch resistant and does not need regular maintenance, making it an instant favorite of office decorators.
Rubber is the perfect option for high traffic areas, simply because they offer versatility, design and style to the users. Rubber flooring is ideal when it comes to durability, heat and water resistance. Rubber is resistant to scratches and is comfortable for daily wear and tear. Available in a series of designs, there are a lot of options to choose from in the rubber flooring categories.
Depending on the color, the footfall and the durability, you can choose the type which you deem best and take it on from there.

Milwaukee Bucks beat Los Angeles Lakers 111-104, claim NBA's best record
MILWAUKEE -- In a battle for NBA supremacy featuring a king and a freak on the hardwood, the Milwaukee Bucks claimed the thone -- beating the Los Angeles Lakers 111-104 at Fiserv Forum, claiming the best record in the league.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 34 points and 11 rebounds with seven assists and a career-best five 3-pointers. George Hill added 21 points off the bench for the Bucks. Milwaukee improved to 25-4 after ending an 18-game winning streak against Dallas on Monday night.
The Lakers' LeBron James had 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists for his seventh triple-double of the season, and Anthony Davis had 36 points and 10 rebounds for Los Angeles. The Lakers dropped to 24-5 largely because their bench was outscored 34-4 by the Bucks' reserves.
Milwaukee led by six after the first quarter then opened the second with a 20-7 run. Davis and James combined to shoot 6 for 20 in the first half, and the Lakers had 10 turnovers. The Bucks led 65-46 at the break.
The Bucks improved to 3-0 against the two teams from Los Angeles, including a dominant 119-91 win over the Clippers at home on Dec. 6.
The last time two teams that were 20 games over .500 played each other before Jan. 1 was 1980. The Boston Celtics (28-8) played the Suns (32-8) in Phoenix. Boston won 116-97.
After the game, brothers Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas Anetokounmpo met on the court to exchange jerseys. Giannis and Thanasis play for the Bucks, while Kostas plays for the Lakers.
TIP-INS
Lakers: Kyle Kuzma remained out with a sore ankle. Coach Frank Vogel said he's hopeful the third-year forward will be able to practice fully Saturday and be available to play Sunday.
Bucks: Milwaukee played its third game without guard Eric Bledsoe. The 2018-19 all-defensive first-team performer fractured his right leg against the Memphis Grizzles on Friday. Bledsoe is expected to miss about 2 weeks.
Lakers: Host the Nuggets on Sunday.
Bucks: At the Knicks on Saturday.

HMS Russell was a  pre-dreadnought battleship of the Royal Navy commissioned in 1903. Built to counter a group of fast Russian battleships, Russell and her sister ships were capable of steaming at , making them the fastest battleships in the world. The Duncan-class battleships were armed with a main battery of four  guns and they were broadly similar to the s, though of a slightly reduced displacement and thinner armour layout. As such, they reflected a development of the lighter second-class ships of the . Russell was built between her keel laying in March 1899 and her completion in February 1903.

Russell served with the Mediterranean Fleet until 1904, at which time she was transferred to the Home Fleet; in 1905 the Home Fleet became the Channel Fleet. She moved to the Atlantic Fleet in early 1907 before returning to the Mediterranean Fleet in 1909. In another fleet reorganisation in 1912, the Mediterranean Fleet became part of the Home Fleet and it was later transferred to British waters. Russell served as the flagship of the 6th Battle Squadron from late 1913 until the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914.

After the start of the war, Russell was assigned to the Grand Fleet and worked with the fleet's cruisers on the Northern Patrol, and in November, she bombarded German-occupied Zeebrugge. In November 1915 she was sent to the Mediterranean to support the Dardanelles Campaign, though she did not see extensive use there. On 27 April 1916 she was sailing off Malta when she struck two mines laid by a German U-boat. Most of her crew survived the sinking, though 125 men were killed.

Design

The six ships of the  were ordered in response to the Russian s that had been launched in 1898. The Russian ships were fast second-class battleships, so William Henry White, the British Director of Naval Construction, designed the Duncan class to match the purported top speed of the Russian vessels. To achieve the higher speed while keeping displacement from growing, White was forced to reduce the ships' armour protection significantly, effectively making the ships enlarged and improved versions of the s of 1896, rather than derivatives of the more powerful , , and  series of first-class battleships. The Duncans proved to be disappointments in service, owing to their reduced defensive characteristics, though they were still markedly superior to the Peresvets they had been built to counter.

Russell was  long overall, with a beam of  and a draft of . The Duncan-class battleships displaced  normally and up to  fully loaded. Her crew numbered 720 officers and ratings. The Duncan-class ships were powered by a pair of 4-cylinder triple-expansion engines that drove two screws, with steam provided by twenty-four Belleville boilers. The boilers were trunked into two funnels located amidships. The Duncan-class ships had a top speed of  from . This made Russell and her sisters the fastest battleships in the world for several years. At a cruising speed of , the ship could steam for .

Russell had a main battery of four  40-calibre guns mounted in twin-gun turrets fore and aft. The ships also mounted a secondary battery of twelve  45-calibre guns mounted in casemates, in addition to ten 12-pounder  guns and six 3-pounder  guns for defence against torpedo boats. As was customary for battleships of the period, she was also equipped with four  torpedo tubes submerged in the hull.

Russell had an armoured belt that was  thick; the transverse bulkhead on the aft end of the belt was  thick. Her main battery turrets' sides were  thick, atop  barbettes, and the casemate battery was protected with 6 in of Krupp steel. Her conning tower had 12-inch-thick sides. She was fitted with two armoured decks,  thick, respectively.

Operational history

Pre-World War I

Russell was named after Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford, a former Royal Navy officer and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy in the 17th century. She was laid down by Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company at Jarrow on 11 March 1899 and launched on 19 February 1901. She arrived at Sheerness later the same month and went to Chatham Dockyard for steam and gun-mounting trials. Construction of Russell was completed in February 1903. During her sea trials, she was painted in the black and buff paint scheme used during the Victorian period, though after entering service she was repainted in the new grey paint scheme.

Russell commissioned at Chatham Dockyard on 19 February 1903 for service in the Mediterranean Fleet, in which she served until April 1904. On 7 April 1904 she recommissioned for service in the Home Fleet. When the Home Fleet became the Channel Fleet in January 1905, she became a Channel Fleet unit. She transferred to the Atlantic Fleet in February 1907. In July 1908, Russell visited Canada during the Quebec Tercentenary, in company with her sister ships , , and . While there on 16 July she collided with the cruiser  off Quebec, but suffered only minor damage.

In 1909, Russell had her armament overhauled, which included the installation of new traversing and elevation gear and sighting equipment. She also had identification bands painted onto her funnels. On 30 July 1909, Russell transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet. Under a fleet reorganisation of 1 May 1912, the Mediterranean Fleet became the 4th Battle Squadron, First Fleet, Home Fleet, and changed its base from Malta to Gibraltar; Russell transferred to home waters in August 1912. In September 1913, Russell was reduced to a nucleus crew in the commissioned reserve and assigned to the 6th Battle Squadron, Second Fleet. Beginning in December 1913, she served as Flagship, 6th Battle Squadron, and Flagship, Rear Admiral, Home Fleet, at the Nore. During this period, the ship had her anti-torpedo nets removed.

On 7–8 July 1914, Russell ferried representatives of the British government, led by Lord Beauchamp, from Dover to Guernsey to attend the unveiling of a monument to Victor Hugo. French government representatives were carried by the French cruiser Dupetit-Thouars.

World War I

North Sea and the Channel

When World War I began in August 1914, plans originally called for Russell and battleships , Albemarle, , Duncan, Exmouth, and  to combine in the 6th Battle Squadron and serve in the Channel Fleet, where the squadron was to patrol the English Channel and cover the movement of the British Expeditionary Force to France. However, plans also existed for the 6th Battle Squadron to be assigned to the Grand Fleet. When the war began, the Commander-in-Chief, Grand Fleet, Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, requested that Russell and her four surviving sister ships of the Duncan class (Albemarle, Cornwallis, Duncan, and Exmouth) be assigned to the 3rd Battle Squadron in the Grand Fleet for patrol duties to make up for the Grand Fleet's shortage of cruisers. Accordingly, the 6th Battle Squadron was abolished temporarily. Russell, Exmouth, and Albemarle were the only ships in a condition to immediately join Jellicoe, so they left without the rest of the squadron on 5 August. They arrived in Scapa Flow on the night of 7–8 August. The ships worked with Grand Fleet cruisers on the Northern Patrol.

Russell and her four Duncan-class sisters, as well as the battleships of the , were temporarily transferred to the Channel Fleet on 2 November 1914 as reinforcements in the face of German Navy activity in the Channel Fleet's area. The following day, the German fleet raided Yarmouth; at the time, Russell and the rest of the 3rd Squadron were dispersed on the Northern Patrol, and were thus unavailable during the German attack. On 13 November 1914 the King Edward VII-class ships returned to the Grand Fleet, but Russell and the other Duncans stayed in the Channel Fleet, where they reconstituted the 6th Battle Squadron on 14 November 1914, with Russell serving as the squadron's flagship. The squadron was based at Portland, although it transferred immediately, 14 November, to Dover. However, due a lack of antisubmarine defences at Dover, particularly after the harbour's anti-submarine boom was swept away in a gale, it returned to Portland on 19 November 1914.

The 6th Battle Squadron was given a mission of bombarding German submarine bases on the coast of Belgium, and Russell participated in the bombardment of German submarine facilities at Zeebrugge on 23 November 1914 in company with Exmouth. The two ships left Portland on 21 November accompanied by eight destroyers, a group of trawlers, and a pair of airships to observe the fall of shot, though the airships failed to arrive in time for the operation. Russell and Exmouth closed to  of the port and shelled the harbour, the railroad station, and coastal defences. The two ships fired some 400 shells in total and observed several fires ashore; reports from Dutch observers indicated significant damage had been inflicted, but the attack achieved very little and discouraged the Royal Navy from continuing such bombardments.

The 6th Battle Squadron returned to Dover in December 1914, then transferred to Sheerness on 30 December to relieve the 5th Battle Squadron there in guarding against a German invasion of the United Kingdom. Between January and May 1915, the 6th Battle Squadron was dispersed. Russell and Albemarle remained with the Grand Fleet through April; on 19 April, they were detached from the fleet base at Rosyth to conduct training exercises in Scapa Flow. They rejoined the fleet for a sortie on 21 April Russell left the squadron in April 1915 and rejoined the 3rd Battle Squadron in the Grand Fleet at Rosyth. She underwent a refit at Belfast in October–November 1915. During this refit she received a pair of  anti-aircraft guns on her quarterdeck.

Mediterranean

On 6 November 1915, a division of the 3rd Battle Squadron consisting of battleships  (the flagship), , Albemarle, and Russell was detached from the Grand Fleet to reinforce the British Dardanelles Squadron in the Gallipoli Campaign at the Gallipoli Peninsula. Russell was at that time in Belfast, and she joined the other ships while they were en route. Albemarle had to turn back almost immediately due to heavy weather damage, but the other ships continued to the Mediterranean, where Russell took up her duties at the Dardanelles in December 1915, based at Mudros with Hibernia and held back in support.  Her only action in the campaign was her participation in the evacuation of Cape Helles from 7 January to 9 January 1916, and she was the last battleship of the British Dardanelles Squadron to leave the area. She relieved Hibernia as Divisional Flagship, Rear Admiral, in January 1916.

After the conclusion of the Dardanelles campaign, Russell stayed on in the eastern Mediterranean. Russell was steaming off Malta early on the morning of 27 April 1916 when she struck two naval mines that had been laid by the German submarine . A fire broke out in the after part of the ship and the order to abandon ship was passed; after an explosion near the after  turret, she took on a dangerous list. However, she sank slowly, allowing most of her crew to escape. A total of 27 officers and 98 ratings were lost. John H. D. Cunningham served aboard her at the time as a lieutenant commander and survived her sinking; he would one day become First Sea Lord.

According to the naval historian R. A. Burt, insufficient internal subdivision, which limited the ability of the crew to counter-flood to offset underwater damage, contributed significantly to the loss of Russell and her sister Cornwallis, both of which listed badly before sinking.

The wreck was examined for the first time in 2003 by a British dive team; the ship lies at a depth of  about  from the Delimara peninsula. Her stern was blown off by the mine.

TCU vs. Iowa State final: Frogs lose 37-23
By Jeremy Mauss@JeremyMauss Oct 6, 2012, 6:53pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: TCU vs. Iowa State final: Frogs lose 37-23
The Iowa State Cyclones pulled off the upset on Saturday as they defeated the TCU Horned Frogs 37-23 Saturday afternoon.
TCU was playing without starting quarterback Casey Pachall, who has been suspended indefinitely for being arrested on a DWI charge this past week, and the Iowa State defense took advantage of that and picked off Pachall's replacement Trevone Boykin three times.
Overall, the Iowa State defense forced TCU to turn the ball over five times, and the final score could have been a lot worse as the Cyclones only scored 10 points off of those five turnovers.
The Cyclones offense got off to a quick start as they were up 10-0 and then 16-7 at the end of the first quarter, and they never looked back. Both first-quarter touchdowns were deep passes by quarterback Jared Barnett to wide receiver Josh Lenz; the two passes were 51 and 74 yards.
Iowa State did allow TCU to make it a game when the Horned Frogs outscored the Cyclones 13-7 between the second and third quarters, that made it a 23-20 game heading into the final quarter.
Both teams exchanged touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but the game was sealed when David Irving returned an interception 21 yards with 7:51 left to put the Cyclones on top for good at 37-23.
Box Score Hero: Josh Lenz, who caught five receptions for 147 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Plus, he also completed one pass for 15 yards, which also was for a touchdown.
Rankings Ramifications: TCU will take a tumble and likely fall near the bottom of the polls. Iowa State is now 4-1 and will definitely receive more votes in the polls, and will be very close to being ranked.
But Did They Cover? No. TCU was a 14.5-point favorite, and they lost.
Next Week's Schedule: Iowa State will be hosting Kansas State on Oct. 13, and TCU travels to Baylor for a Oct. 13 start.

E-bike sales continue to rise, and so does demand
Data from the government's Vahan portal show 51,586 electric two-wheelers were registered in September, accounting for 5.05 per cent of the two-wheelers sold in the month. The share was 2 per cent at the beginning of 2022 and less than 0.5 per cent two years ago.
Ashutosh R Shyam
Sales of electric two-wheelers hit a new high in September, driven by new product launches, increased production capacity, longer range of the vehicles and festive demand.
As much as 15 per cent of the scooters retailed in the country last month were electric. If the other segments of two-wheelers are also included, electric vehicles accounted for 5 per cent.
According to former Niti Aayog chief executive Amitabh Kant, the two-wheeler market should become EV-only in the next four years. The government is extending tax benefits and subsidies to accelerate this environment-friendly shift, he said. Data from the government's Vahan portal show 51,586 electric two-wheelers were registered in September, accounting for 5.05 per cent of the two-wheelers sold in the month. The share was 2 per cent at the beginning of 2022 and less than 0.5 per cent two years ago.
Retail sales of electric two-wheelers have been consistently moving up month on month since May.
Cumulative registrations in the first nine months of 2022 have reached 388,000 units, already 2.7 times higher than those in the whole of 2021, according to Vahan data. Higher running cost of petrol and increased availability of EVs from legacy two-wheeler makers are helping boost adoption by consumers.
Rise in Demand
The running cost of an electric two-wheeler is just ₹0.35 per km, compared with ₹2.20 for the petrol-powered ones. This translates into a saving of about ₹100 per day if one is driving about 50 km per day.
Ravneet Phokela, electric two-wheeler maker Ather Energy's chief business officer, said he was not surprised with the steep rise in demand. He believes improved semiconductor supplies and increasing model availability would help meet the demand.
"We expect, based on the underlying momentum, a penetration level of the scooter is slated to reach about 25 per cent by end of the current fiscal year and 45-50 per cent by the end of 2025," said Phokela. Ather Energy had a market share of 11.9 per cent in September with retail sales of 6,176 units.
Growth at a Steady Pace
The penetration of electric two-wheelers has been deeper in states with higher per-capita GDP. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Delhi formed 69 per cent of the high-speed electric two-wheeler sales last month.
A large part of electric vehicle penetration is pushed by state-level incentives, which are about ₹5,000 per Kwh. This is probably a reason for the share of electric two-wheelers sales in Delhi reaching 8 per cent.
Manish Raj Singhania, president of the Federation of Automotive Dealers Association of India, said there had been a lot of excitement in the EV segment across verticals, bringing a whole new set of customers to the industry.
"The segment is growing at a steady pace, and we expect it to gain a larger industry share rapidly over time, especially in the three- and two-wheeler categories," he said.
The entry of mass-market industry leaders into the electric two-wheeler space will help restore the confidence among the public, especially over safety, Singhania added.

TXT's Taehyun Gave Soobin And Yeonjun New Stage Names They Couldn't Help But Love
Soobin wanted the new name ASAP.
Every member of TXT goes by their real names rather than stage names. When asked if they'd thought of stage names, Taehyun shared the ones he came up with for Soobin and Yeonjun.
When Soobin asked for his stage name, Taehyun didn't hesitate to say, "Pokcalee." He even had an introduction made up of a play on words prepared for him:
Pokpoong (Storm) Charismatic Leader.
Everyone was impressed with not only the name but the ment as well. Soobin couldn't hide his excited facial expression and voiced his approval, "So good. I like it."
While they were on the topic, Taehyun remembered the name he'd come up with for Yeonjun. Since K-Pop is known all around the world, he wanted to go with something that sounded more Korean.
Taking into account Yeonjun's stellar dance skills, he named him Dance Goblin, which made them all burst into laughter. They found it so funny that it looked like Soobin narrowly avoided choking on his food.
Although Yeonjun had laughed at the name, it grew on him to the point where he later called himself MC Dance Goblin.
If anyone ever needs a stage name, Taehyun is the person to go to. Watch him impress Pokcalee and Dance Goblin with their clever stage names.

Home/Sex/Lack of information in various fields of marriage and its consequences
Lack of information in various fields of marriage and its consequences
Amir Send an email December 21, 2022
Did you know that the origin and source of many problems between husband and wife is the lack of awareness of healthy sexual relations? And the need to inform and inform about marital issues for couples is the most crucial thing for them!
In recent decades, sexual need and teaching the right ways to deal with it have always been viewed as a taboo; A need that increases the generation, dynamism of the country and avoids many harms; However, this issue has always been denied by the media and people, or it has not been properly discussed, and the result is that according to the results of some researches, 75% of divorces are due to sexual problems.
Dr. "Mahmoud Golzari" – Deputy Director of Youth Affairs of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs – in his latest statement in this connection, pointing out the importance of the issue, clearly speaks of a great danger and draws everyone's attention to it.
Explaining this issue from a completely scientific point of view, Dr. Golzari adds that "the most important difference between men and women is in the field of sexual issues". These people showed that women and men do not have many differences in psychological dimensions, except in the sexual field.
According to him, one of the important issues is to express the psychological differences between men and women; As it was once thought that there are many differences between men and women; For example, men's mathematical talent and women's literary-artistic talent are more, or women are detail oriented and men are general oriented; But the researches of recent years show that many of the differences that were thought to exist between men and women are not true and they are not very different from each other in their psychological fields.
Referring to the views of some evolutionary theory psychologists, Golzari says: the difference in the attitude and behavior of men and women in the sexual field is rooted even before the emergence of man, and its foundations can be found in primitive animals, and according to this, from ancient times to Now and even in the future, the attitude, motivation and behavior of men more than women have been around sexual relations.
Statistics of couples' sexual problems
Sexual issues are one of the basic pillars and perhaps in some ways the most important aspect of joint life and play an important role in the family's survival. However, according to Dr. Majid Abhari, a pathologist, 75% of divorces in Iran are due to sexual problems.
He says: "Besides choosing an inappropriate spouse and economic-environmental problems, the main reason for divorce is the lack of sexual understanding between husband and wife. In the surveys conducted by the Foundation for the Protection of Family Consolidation from the beginning of 1992 to June 1993, among 3650 couples who had separated from their spouses, it was found that the weakness of husbandry skills, not knowing the needs and capabilities of both sexes were among the most important reasons for their divorce; But the main reason was sexual problems."
At the same time, Abhari states: "75% of women's attention after giving birth to their first child is focused on their baby, and emotional and sexual neglect of men causes subsequent problems. »
Dr. "Mehdi Bayati" – a psychologist – also believes that many family disputes and even divorces are due to sexual issues; Because ignorance about these topics causes very serious differences between couples; Although it may appear in other forms; Therefore, in order to improve this process, couples should be given appropriate sexual information.
Consequences of sexual problems
Bayati warns that "complexes and psychological problems caused by not responding to sexual needs in marital relationships have led to extramarital relationships, especially in big cities."
According to him, "one of the reasons for the increase in the number of AIDS in Iran is related to sexual relations, and other harms such as emotional divorce, white marriage, and the prevalence of bachelor homes also originate from this issue."
According to this psychologist, "Sexual issues are one of the integral parts of couples' lives; But in the past decades, we have mainly approached this issue with a negative view; So there is some anxiety about talking about sex. Also, we witnessed this trend in the 60s and 70s, and because the psychological and sexual needs of people have not been properly answered, this issue has led to mental complexes and problems."
Dr. Abhari has a similar opinion. According to this behaviorist, sexual disabilities, cultural problems in not expressing sexual needs, and the weakness of the culture of referring to specialists and counselors are the main sources of the occurrence and increase of divorce. Although neither husband nor wife usually mention sexual problems as their reasons for divorce; However, after talking with them, it becomes clear that the lack of pre-marital sexual management training and the lack of behavioral understanding skills are among the main reasons for this phenomenon.
Stating that "one of the main causes of extramarital affairs is the lack of sexual understanding between couples", he adds: "Unfortunately, instead of going to a counselor or having honesty to express their needs and problems, husband and wife turn to self-treatment or refrain from treatment." And the accumulation of these problems leads to them stating unrealistic reasons for divorce.
Solutions to reduce couples' sexual problems
Dr. Bayati, however, points to the role of radio and television in sex culture and education for couples and says: "Currently, the sexual crisis is hidden, but in the future it will be revealed and bring many problems; Therefore, it is necessary for radio and television to make programs on sexual topics when children are not watching television programs; Of course, in other countries, various measures are taken in this field, including psychotherapy, but in Iran, dealing with sexual issues is a taboo."
He adds: "People who believe that they should not deal with sexual issues in their family life have problems. This is while giving the correct information in this field will make the society healthy and addressing this issue is even more important than some major national issues in the society. »
This evasive psychologist also touches on the field of religion and reminds: "In the field of religious discussions, the smallest points about sexual issues have been taken into consideration in the form of hadiths and traditions; Therefore, we need to address this issue."
In this connection, he says about the role of pre-marriage education to reduce couples' sexual ignorance: "We don't have the necessary education in this field. At one point, a family planning unit was set up in universities in order to familiarize students with sexual issues; But these subjects are not properly taught to students in classes, and this causes serious harm in the future; Because in the case of an increase in sexual injuries, the officials say that we tried to educate the students, but it was not effective. »
Referring to the relationship between addiction and sexual issues, Dr. Bayati states: "Addiction statistics are directly related to sexual relations, and it is necessary for people who are knowledgeable about this issue to convey the facts and work to young couples."
Dr. Abhari also mentions sexual ignorance at the end and says: "Sexual ignorance is one of the main causes of problems between husband and wife. Holding training courses for young wives and even including these topics in university courses can reduce some of these problems; Because the main items of premarital education should be sexual education.
Now the question arises that despite the great importance of increasing the sexual awareness of couples in order to reduce the number of divorces and the resulting social harms, why is there still no written program in this field, or educational institutions such as the ministries of education and science and the media, including the voice And Sima is not doing enough in this field?

Wine has been made in Spain for more than 3,000 years and until the past couple of decades or so, little changed in the approach to winemaking in the country.
There has been a renaissance there, though, and not only are Spanish wineries producing modern wines using modern techniques, some are now using modern marketing approaches.
Casa Rojo is one of those wine producers that is modern in all aspects of its production and marketing. At a dinner hosted by Cayman Spirits Co. that featured Casa Rojo's wines at Luca restaurant on Nov. 9, guests were able to see for themselves that these were not their grandfather's Spanish wines.
Casa Rojo basically offers a wine tour of Spain. It produces seven different wines, each from a different region, with all of the major wine-growing areas covered. Rather than using the grapes from each region to make wines that are all similar in style, Casa Rojo's goal is to produce wines that express the authentic terroir and character of the region from which the grapes come.
The dinner started with Cava, Spain's premier sparkling wine, usually made from a blend of indigenous grapes grown in Catalonia near Barcelona. Casa Rojo's Cava, called Moltó Negre – meaning "Black Sheep" – is a sparkling wine that offers consistent bubbles and crisp acidity, and a moderate alcohol level of 11.5 percent.
"This is refreshing, clean and dry, especially in comparison with Prosecco," said Cayman Spirits Co. Wine Sales Manager Christian Esser.
The other white wine served was made from a grape called Godello that is grown in the wine region Valdeorras. It is named "The Orange Republic," partially because it grows among orange daisies and thousands of orange trees, and partially because producing a wine with a lesser-known grape from a lesser-known wine region is a bit rebellious.
The wine's aromas and flavors are of summer stone fruits and there's even a hint of orange blossom, as if the orange trees the grapes grow near have imparted some of their traits on the grapes.
This is a wine that is fresh enough to drink on its own, but paired with citrus-cured beet tartare, capers and a crunchy quail egg, it also showed it had enough texture and body to drink with food.
Spain is best known for its powerful red wines, and the wine dinner at Luca featured two of them. The first was called Maquinon, which roughly translates to "machine." It's a wine made from Garnacha, which is the Spanish word for Grenache, the grape of French origin.
The wine comes from the Priorat wine region southwest of Catalonia from grapes grown in slate and quartz soil called llicorella. The grapes are farmed biodynamically in nutrient-poor soils, allowing this wine to show its terroir beautifully.
It is an intense, ruby-red wine with aromas of violet, spice and dark fruits. The highly rated 2014 vintage drinks very well even young, but has the structure to age for a decade or more. This is a stunning wine made all the more enjoyable by its reasonable price point.
The final wine of the night was made from Tinta Fina grapes, which is what Tempranillo is called in the wine region of Ribera del Duero, located in the harsh climate of Spain's northern plateau.
Rioja might be the most famous wine region for Tempranillo in Spain, but wines made from the grape in other Spanish wine regions have been gaining in popularity because of their elegance. Ribera del Duero is the place from where Spain's most famous wine – Vega Sicilia – comes, and part of the success is the unique climate and soil of the wine region.
Made from vines that are 25 years old, the Casa Rojo wine – humorously called "Alexander vs. The Ham Factory" – paired terrifically with the cocoa-braised pork cheeks with wild mushroom croquettes and Serrano ham-wrapped roasted asparagus.
"This is a smooth wine with silky tannins and concentrated fruit," said Esser.

"Why are they complaining in Groningen? A quake of 3.6 on the Richter scale is peanuts.
Groningen does not have quakes of 8 on the Richter scale with thousands of casualties.
There is every reason to be worried, however.
The quakes caused by gas extraction differ from natural earthquakes. For this reason, the Richter scale does not provide a complete picture.
and the induced (= man-made) quakes in Groningen.
Because of these differences the quakes in Groningen are not as innocent as Richter would have us believe.
Shallow gas quakes release more energy to the surface than natural deep quakes.
Ergo: a natural earthquake of 3.6 has less impact than a gas quake of 3.6.
Together, many small earthquakes form one big quake.
Most quakes in Groningen are light. A light quake does not have big effects, but all those small accumulated quakes do.
The soil in the quake zone consists of soft clay.
The clay behaves like a giant rubber band and has the potential of aggravating the quakes. This is called resonant rise.
The Groningen clay is a blessing for the grain yield, but a curse in relation to the earthquakes.
Dense urban development can dampen a quake.
In the empty countryside, a quake can spread widely with resonant rise until it reaches a village.
Eyewitnesses say they have seen the countryside ripple into the distance.
A gas quake of 3.6 is not as devastating as a natural earthquake of 8.0, but much worse than a natural earthquake of 3.6.
The Richter scale does not take into account the four factors mentioned earlier.
For a fair indexation of earthquakes in Groningen a better scale is required - one that includes factors such as depth, accumulation, soil and buildings in the equation.
Take a look at a story about the history of the Groningen gas field.
Based on information from Groninger Bodem Beweging.

Virginie Viard Debuts Chanel Collection
May 9, 2019 in Fashion, I On Luxury Lifestyle, I On The Scene
For over 30 years the house of Chanel thrived under the leadership of Karl Lagerfeld. During this time one could always look forward to astonishing results from a creative genius. Three months ago, Chanel was hit with the tragedy of Karl's death and after mourning, the house has unveiled its future with the new leadership of Virginie Viard.
Virginie Viard was the left and right hand of Karl Lagerfeld for almost 30 years. She made her Chanel collection debut and proved that the spirit of Karl Lagerfeld will live on amidst her unique creativity and boldness.
The event took place in Chanel's regular venue, the Grand Palais in Paris. The runway was set as a train station which was aimed to symbolize the promise of an adventure. This theme was said to have been first suggested by Lagerfeld, but Viard brought it to life in her own way at the Grand Palais.
The venue was transformed to Beaux-Arts Style Parisian train station, complete with sitting arrangements that accommodated up to 440 guests. It took 10 days to create this theme, and it featured brass luggage racks, station clocks, wooden benches and more.
The day began with breakfast from a grand station café at the venue. After this, the guests took their seats on the benches for the debut to begin.

Virginie Viard was flying solo for the first time but the collection showed everyone that the winds of change were already here and Viard is the creative genius for Chanel's future.
She boldly integrated bright colors, neutral colors, and befitting signature fabric from the fashion house. You could feel the freshness of this collection, the air of femininity, and the start of a fulfilled promise. It was a splash of bold blues, bright whites, black, camel, and pinks. There were a lot of wide-legged trousers, new designs like large bows, chain belts, and flowered embroideries were a central part of the collection. Viard didn't leave out tweed and quilted leather.
The clothes were greatly complimented by a collection of new Chanel's bags. These include belt bags, a spectacular tweed backpack, and chain bags.
Accessories were highly versatile. Viard incorporated diverse sizes of metal hoops, pendant earrings set, beaded cuff bracelets, and more expressive designs. We also can't get enough of the two-toned shoes paired with a majority of the outfits.

The pieces from Virginie Viard's collection inspire you to travel. There was a highlight of vacation wears for the free-spirited. It is said that the collection enforces the message of the theme as Viard marks her promise to take the fashion house in a new direction.
Viard graced the runway after the last models to take her final bow. Unlike her predecessors, she showed a lack of interest in the spotlight. She appeared in an all-black ensemble of a jacket, t-shirt, and jeans. She looked quite emotional as she walked down the runway alone amidst the standing ovation from the guests. Following this successful debut, everyone remains anxious for the next iconic fashion moves from the new creative leader of Chanel.

Gary Neville: Man Utd youngster Greenwood is a better finisher than Rashford
By James Richards
Gary Neville believes Mason Greenwood is a better finisher than England international and Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford.
The former United defender has labelled the Red Devils youngster 'the real deal' following his explosive performances for the club this season.
Mason Greenwood's season so far: Five things to know…
Greenwood made his senior debut on the final day of last season.
He has netted seven times so far 2019/20 for United.
Jadon Sancho (11) and Gabriel Martinelli (8) are the only teenagers in Europe's top-five league to have more this season.
Greenwood bagged his latest goal against Everton at the weekend.
Following that strike, Gary Neville called the 18-year-old a better finisher than Marcus Rashford.
Despite United's struggles this season, Greenwood's performances have been one of the highlights and he continued his good form at the weekend. Following another fine display, former United defender Neville admitted he thought the 18-year-old was a better finisher than United and England striker Rashford.
"I like Greenwood a lot," he said on the Gary Neville Podcast. "The composure that he shows at such a young age, his great physical presence.
"The way in which he finishes is that of a top centre-forward. Sometimes when you see a young player in front of goal, they panic a bit and snatch at things – [Daniel] James and [Jesse] Lingard do that quite a lot.

"But I'd say Greenwood is a better finisher than Rashford – and that's saying something. He really does look the real deal. I think Solskjaer knows that and he's going to bleed him in."
United could only pick up a point at home to Everton on Sunday leaving them four points behind Chelsea who sit in the final Champions League place.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men travel to Watford at the weekend to take on Nigel Pearson's Hornets.
Academy runs deep at United
Greenwood's emergence as another bright prospect just highlights how productive the United academy has been. Neville, one of the class of '92, admits it is an important part of the club's history and future.
"The academy is bedded deep in this football club – Greenwood is obviously another product – and it's something Manchester United should be really proud of," Neville said.
"United have always believed in young players. Even in difficult moments in the last six or seven years. Louis van Gaal, for instance, brought through Rashford and Lingard and believed in them, and then Jose Mourinho showed great faith in Scott McTominay at a time when I wasn't sure he was a midfielder.
"Solskjaer is no different. He has taken it right back and really promoted the youth players. There have been times when I thought are these players being pushed in because of the history rather than them being good enough, but I think they've seen that they are good enough."
