This week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision authorizing the states to decide whether sports betting should be legal within their borders. In its decision, the Court struck down certain provisions of the federal Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (“PASPA”) that previously provided a general ban on legalized sports betting outside of Nevada. Below are key things every league, team, conference, and school should know about the Court’s decision to prepare for a future where sports gambling is commonplace.
Why The Court Found PASPA To Be Unconstitutional
As a key message in its opinion, the Court conveyed that PASPA was not unconstitutional because individuals enjoy a federally-protected right to participate in legalized sports betting. Rather, the Court struck down PASPA because of the specific manner in which the statute prohibited sports betting. More precisely, the Court held that PASPA’s prohibition on states from authorizing legalized sports betting “unequivocally dictates what a state legislature may and may not do” in violation of the anti-commandeering rule reflected in the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Hold Your Bets, At Least For Now
Another key takeaway from the decision is that legalized sports betting still faces significant threats, even after the Court’s ruling. For instance, each state must undertake the potentially lengthy process of enacting new legislation to legalize sports betting within its borders. And even after a state completes that process, its new sports betting laws will likely face vigorous challenges from opponents and robust scrutiny by the courts because, as the Court noted in its opinion, “the legalization of sports gambling is a controversial subject” about which “Americans have never been of one mind.” Additionally, the Court’s decision also leaves the door open to future federal bans on sports betting, noting that “Congress can regulate sports gambling directly” if it chooses to do so.
So What Should You Do Now
In the wake of the Court’s decision, there are several actions that leagues, teams, conferences, and schools should take to prepare for a world where state-sanctioned sports betting is commonplace. Of course, the foremost priority across the sports industry is preserving the integrity of the game, and all stakeholders should work closely with state governments to develop appropriate laws and regulations in furtherance of that goal. Beyond that rather obvious imperative, leagues, teams, conferences, and schools should also consider:
- Tightening restrictions on athletes’ affiliations with entities or investors in gambling enterprises;
- Enacting new rules to regulate on-site sports gambling at sports venues;
- Analyzing applicable bylaws, policies, and practices to identify any limitations on sports gambling activities;
- Exploring appropriate “sports betting right and integrity fees” that might be collected from sports betting enterprises;
- Creating robust internal controls to monitor compliance with applicable laws, league/conference rules, and team/school policies related to sports betting; and
- Developing a framework to address sports gambling issues in collective bargaining agreements, player contracts, and scholarship offers.
The above list is far from exhaustive, as the prospect of legalized sports betting creates countless issues for all stakeholders in the sports industry. Still, leagues, teams, conferences, and schools should take immediate action to prepare for future laws legalizing sports gambling. Because with an increasing number of states introducing and enacting sports betting laws, the future may be upon us sooner than we think.

A couple weeks ago, our students of New Artists had the chance to check out Commonwealth Press for a field trip! We got a behind the scenes look at the t-shirt printing process and Dan gave us an awesome tour of the place!
Commonwealth Press has been around for over 10 years, designing and printing Pittsburgh themed shirts for the city. When we first arrived at Commonwealth Press, Dan first introduced us to the space we were in. While we were there, we had a chance to see the machines used in the process, as well as the workers who made it happen. Our students especially liked the disco ball hanging from the ceiling which inspired them to have an impromptu dance party.
The students were mesmerized by everything around them, asking great questions to get a better understanding of what was happening. Dan explained his interest in art as a kid, and how important it is to stick with it. It was really interesting to see the industrial ways of screen printing and Dan explained the process and terminology so we could all get a better grasp on screen printing! We even were able to see a sample shirt be made, which was really neat.
It was amazing to get a chance to see the art of creating shirts, and it gave us more of an appreciation for all the work that goes into it. It was a relevant method for students to see, as most of them were wearing graphic tees which had at one point been through the screen printing process.
Before leaving Commonwealth Press, Dan gave all the students a black balloon if they asked a question about our visit we had just had. He did a great job engaging the kids and giving them a fun, informative orientation to what he does. It was an amazing visit; we left feeling inspired to continue our dreams of creating art.

As a stock listed corporate or corporate with stock listed participation, you are exposed to fluctuations in equity markets. Those fluctuations can have a big impact on your balance sheet and consume a lot of capital. ING Wholesale Banking (WB)’s dedicated equity derivative specialists can help you with customised solutions that fit your underlying equity exposures, risk profiles and views.
Typical examples of equity derivative risks which need attention are management of treasury shares, hedging of stock option plans, and management of listed participations.
Treasury shares management
Supporting the share price by purchasing the shares on the cash equity market or protecting shareholders from a potential dilution (convertible bond, stock option plan exercise, etc.) by purchasing shares on the cash equity markets may be cash intensive and leave a substantial share price risk on the balance sheet, adding unwanted leverage.
ING WB offers derivative solutions that allow the corporate to have the economic exposure on its share, without having to finance it. ING WB also offers alternative derivative solutions to match the exact exposure and replicate the exact dilution exposure. ING WB also offers alternative buyback programmes that allow the corporate to purchase treasury shares at a discount to the current market price.
Stock option plan hedging
Corporates often issue stock-based incentives as part of their executive compensation plans. As the options’ and the shares’ sensitivity to a price move are not the same (the corporate runs a share price risk on the options and their hedge) and as the whole notional has to be funded for hedging via treasury share funding, corporates may want to use equity derivatives as an alternative to hedge those stock option plans.
ING WB offers solutions to exactly replicate the share based plans (purchase of replicating call options), that allow clients to free up cash and match the price risk. ING WB also offers solutions to actively manage the client’s options delta hedge, either by cash equity or by variable notional total return swaps, helping the corporate to execute its delta hedging.
Management of listed participations
A corporate may have stakes in one or more listed companies. ING WB can provide the following range of solutions depending on its intentions with regards to this participation.
ING WB offers derivative solutions that allow clients to exit a participation at a premium to the current market price, or to build-up a stake at a discount to the current market price. ING WB offers derivatives solutions that allow clients to keep an economic and legal exposure to the participation, without running a full price risk on the participation, or retain an economic and legal exposure to the participation while freeing up cash without raising debt. ING WB finally offers derivative solutions to increase the return on a participation in a suspected flat market and depending on the views of the corporate on the share price evolution.

Murph + Murph
murph&murph beach/all-purpose bags were conceived when sisters, Anna and Catherine Murphy, decided to put their heads together to construct a bag they believed would be perfect for their own active families. Something stylish, robust and practical that could get their gear to and from the beach and other social and sporting activities.
After many months of design, they came up with The Cove. The bag needed to be constructed with materials that allowed for a free standing structure, as well as water resistant, durable but still comfortable to hold against skin.
"With a family of surfers we tend to spend more time at the beach and outdoors than at home. We really needed a bag that was strong and large enough, with plenty of separation to keep wet from dry. It had to have secure pockets for phones and keys and an insulated pocket for a water bottle. It was also important to us that the bag kept its open shape for easy access and loading. We now have the finished product, and our bag is in continual use... and the kids no longer turn things upside down to find the sunscreen." Anna
"The more we used our bag, we realised it had versatility way beyond the beach. From the back of the boat to carry on luggage. It even stabilises and insulates our open bottle at outdoor concerts." Catherine said.

British Columbia's New Democrats have wrapped up a three-day convention after nearly 700 delegates voted on resolutions including those that would pressure the federal government to deliver more affordable cell phone and internet options.
Other successful resolutions the party highlighted in a news release are aimed at supporting a so-called Period Promise campaign by encouraging the government to offer free menstrual products in all public buildings in B.C.
Delegates also voted on resolutions around ending parking fees at hospitals and lowering the voting age to 16 in civic and provincial elections as part of a gathering that included training and workshops.
The B.C. Teachers' Federation decided to hold its own meeting of school-district representatives near the NDP convention on Saturday to draw attention to failed contract talks.
But Premier John Horgan says the convention was no place for teachers to bring up issues that belong at the bargaining table.
Horgan also says the government is not prepared to wade into a transit dispute in Metro Vancouver and that workers and employers should resume negotiations before a planned three-day shutdown of bus service this week.

Grand Ledge dedicates public art sculpture ‘Growing Progress’
GRAND LEDGE - The Huhn family began its journey in the United States much the same as most immigrants by making a living in agriculture.
After WWI, like other area families, they moved to the urban areas to seek a new way of life. In 1919, Leo Huhn changed his journey by opening a Chevrolet dealership in Grand Ledge.
This opportunity provided a new path for other family members to follow. Huhn Chevrolet operated a location on West Jefferson Street from 1923 to 1966.
The site of that former auto dealership is now just steps from a new public sculpture that pays homage to the Huhn’s family life and agriculture, with a nod to Chevrolet.
The sculpture “Growing Progress, located downtown at the corner of West Jefferson and Harrison streets, was dedicated Sept. 12, bringing together Grand Ledge city officials, members of the Huhn extended family, as well as many art and classic car enthusiasts.
The sculpture was made possible by a $10,000 donation from David and Nancy Huhn who commissioned the sculpture in memory of David’s parents, Victor J. and Rosella C. Huhn who were longtime residents of Grand Ledge.
Speaking at the dedication, Grand Ledge Mayor Kalmin Smith said, “Public art is especially valuable to cities like Grand Ledge that place great importance on creating a sense of place in their communities. While there is personal meaning for David and Nancy Huhn behind the design of the sculpture, in my opinion, “Growing Progress” provides a special meaning that rings true and resonates with all of us.
“All of our families have stories of significant, life-altering changes in livelihood that influenced future generations. Appreciating where we have been can help all of us as we make our own choices and move toward a bright future, together with our families and our community,” he said.
“A special thank you to David and Nancy Huhn for their generosity, the Public Art Committee, City Council, Downtown Development Authority, and Thomas Sheerin for creating the sculpture,” said Adam Smith, city administrator.
“Growing Progress” was created by Michigan artist, Thomas Sheerin and is made entirely of recommissioned metal. Standing 10 feet tall and 11 feet in length, the base represents a plowshare that transforms into a wheat crop to pay homage to the Huhn family’s history in agriculture.
The top of the sculpture represents an jet-shaped eagle hood ornament similar to a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air, a favorite of the late Victor Huhn, and signifying the country post WWII, strong and growing into the Jet Age. “Growing Progress” serves as a reminder that after years of war and depression, the country is looking up.
With the addition of “Growing Progress,” the City of Grand Ledge now has eight art attractions that can be easily located through the Arts Council of Greater Lansing’s 517 ARTsearch app, available for smartphone users via iTunes or Google Play.

Platinum Tools’ Terminal Crimp Tool is a tool that crimps terminals and splices. Designed for insulated and non-insulated terminals and splices alike, the Terminal Crimp Tool can handle the severing of cable-gauges between 10 and 22 AWG, giving you a precision-ground and hardened cutting blade for this very purpose.
A drop-forged chrome-vanadium steel alloy construction prevents against rust, while comfort-grip dipped handles provide easy handling. The tool even offers two crimping cavities to better serve the conductors you’ll be crimping: One for insulated wire, and one for non-insulated. Also, note its thin, tapered nose—this will assist you when you’re working in cramped, confined spaces. Do not attempt to cut steel with this tool, for that would be unwise; however, copper and aluminum wire up to 10 AWG is just fine.

We had the pleasure of hosting Liancarlo designer Carlos Ramirez at Lovella Bridal this past weekend during a trunk show. Needless to say, we’ve had Liancarlo on our minds lately! The designer’s latest collection is one of fantasy but practicality. Features like artfully placed tulle, modern lace, his trademark appliqués, and sweetheart bodices grace gowns with intricate embroidery that adds extraordinary dimension to each. Ethereal and romantic are key adjectives of this collection. The Knot summed it up quite well, stating the line “is proof that classic doesn’t have to mean boring.” If you love what you see, contact us: 818-246-4637. In the meantime, enjoy browsing the expertly-crafted pieces that make up Ramirez’s exquisite Spring 2015 Collection.
Last year we attended both semi-annual bridal markets. Last month, however, we took a pass — but admired from afar. Well, Rita Vinieris has done it again. Rivini’s Spring/Summer 2015 Collection has what’s to be expected of the label: fantasy, romance and elegance. Described The Knot of the collection: “[The] line of wedding dresses plays with negative space to evoke a timeless, yet modern style. Rita Vinieris’ classic feminine silhouettes were given an update with modern prints, leather accents and subtle, revealing lace panels.” In other words, there’s a lot of dreaminess here. Floating, flowing and glistening fabrics met with regal designs, details and textures. Plunging necklines, structural bodices and touches of leather sprinkle this collection. It’s fabulous. Below, enjoy the latest gowns as plucked from The Knot and captured by Kurt Wilberding. You’ll also see select social media images intermixed; all Instagram photos are via Rita Vinieris’ official account […]
There is no better way to ring in a trunk show weekend than with the introduction of the designer of the hour’s collection!

Now is a befitting time to showcase the new arrivals, with styles that will be available at our Matthew Christopher Trunk Show this weekend. Mr. Christopher creates drama in every detail, from organic beading to show-stopping silhouettes. He describes his collection as being “modern elegance with a very classic feminine twist.” The man you see in these photos will be here this weekend, March 28-30, to work with sophisticated brides to select their perfect wedding gowns! Make your appointment today: 818-246-4637. In the meantime, enjoy this inspiration complete with dreamy dresses, balloons, martinis, a game of Chess, and maybe even a tune.
Another beautiful California day, another fabulous shoot! We joined forces with Nicoletta Daskalakis and her team once again, this time to create beach magic. But we didn’t do it alone; full vendor credits are below. Model Sarabeth Panela simply shined in a Kenneth Pool drop-waist gown and sparkling Maria Elena hair comb, both from our salon. She was a vision! Nicoletta worked her magic to create an ultra romantic look with soft makeup and carefree hair. Enjoy the photos, and head over to Nicoletta’s blog for even more.

Images from Ashley and Nolan’s treehouse wedding look as if they were plucked straight out of a magazine. (In fact, we loved James Christianson’s photos so much that we included a few images from the couple’s engagement session below). For her wedding to Nolan, Lovella bride Ashley wore an Edgardo Bonilla gown from our salon in an off-the-shoulder, romantic ruffled design with sash and lace detail. Perfection! Her look was completed with Twigs & Honey accessories and a colorful bouquet. The setting for this couple’s Southern California wedding was wilderness: woods, a lake, paths and a treehouse. It reminded us of summer camp, in the very best way. There’s a reason (or ten) that One Hitched Lane chose to feature their wedding. Congratulations to Ashley and Nolan!

text: Another post for today. I had free time this afternoon so I decided to try the Tilda & Co Challenge. This week they want you to go for a distressed look. This really will be a challenge for me because I usually use bright or light pastel colors and don't really do "distressed"! I picked a Shabby Chic Tilda to start with. I knew I wouldn't use copics to color because they are too intense so I used the gamsol technique. It ended up still too bright so I went over my image with a grey prisma to dull the colors a little more! There was an option to emboss which I did. It is a little subtle!!! You can see the sentiment in the top righthand side and a butterfly top left! The paper I used is from K & Co and I think it does "shabby" beautifully. I used a sketch from Katharina's blog. It was the one for Papertake challenge last week but I missed it since I was on vacation. The sketch was so nice I decided to use it anyhow! So let me know if this is a hit or a miss!

AMC plans to build 10,000 additional housesRadha Sharma | TNN | Updated: Sep 2, 2013, 15:01 IST
AHMEDABAD: Urban local bodies across the state are now demanding faster turn-key systems and construction technologies to deliver affordable houses in bulk and in a time-bound manner over the next five years. A seminar on 'New Construction technology for affordable housing' was organized at the Ahmedabad Management Association (AMA). The seminar was hosted by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
Officials of the urban development department also promised that apart from housing for Low Income Groups (LIG) and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), a few civic bodies were also planning homes for Middle Income Groups (MIG).
Municipal commissioner Guruprasad Mohapatra claimed that AMC was planning to build 3,000 additional houses for LIG and 7,000 houses for EWS in the coming years. In a press release, he also claimed that AMC would undertake housing for the MIG category.
Mohapatra claimed that the houses will not look like a typical EWS colony, but would have parks, children's play areas and green surroundings. "The purpose of holding such a seminar was to expose developers and government officials to the whole new range of affordable construction technologies. AMC was the first in the country to adopt MASCON technology for EWS houses," says Mohapatra . Principal secretary of urban development G R Aloria claimed that in the next five years the state government was planning to construct 25 lakh houses.

Is Dominican Spanish the same as Mexican Spanish?
there are slangs in the languages of all countries depending from which arae of a specific country someone comes from. but if you speak Spanish You will understand the average Mexican the same as the average Dominican and the average Spaniard. The difference is mostly the slangs.
Is Dominican Spanish A Creole?
People in the Cibao region are the descendants of runaway slaves, and therefore their Spanish tends to be more of a creole language. Dominican Spanish is spoken with a lisp and does not distinguish between the sound that represents the letters “c” (before “i” and “e”), “z” and “s”.
Is Dominican Spanish fast?
Spanish in the Caribbean is faster and more relaxed than general Latin American Spanish. As with many Caribbean regions, Dominicans play it fast and loose with their s sound, omitting it nearly all of the time; I’d say they use this sound less than any other Spanish dialect.
Are Dominicans Latino?
Dominican Americans are the fifth-largest Latino American group, after Mexican Americans, Stateside Puerto Ricans, Cuban Americans and Salvadoran Americans.
What is the difference between Hispanic and Latino?
While Hispanic usually refers to people with a background in a Spanish-speaking country, Latino is typically used to identify people who hail from Latin America.
Why is Dominican Spanish so different?
ROOTS & INFLUENCES
The Dominican Republic was settled by people from the Canary Islands and the Andalusian region of Spain. This Spanish is characterized by slightly different pronunciation and more Arabic words than that spoken in other parts of Spain.
Who is a Latino person?
A Latino/a or Hispanic person can be any race or color. In general, “Latino” is understood as shorthand for the Spanish word latinoamericano (or the Portuguese latino-americano) and refers to (almost) anyone born in or with ancestors from Latin America and living in the U.S., including Brazilians.

If you’re a modern man, you’ve got to have a few henley shirts in your closet. Basically collarless polo shirts, henley shirts make for great casual wear thanks to their simple design and a number of other practical reasons.
What is a henley shirt and what’s great about it?
We weren’t kidding when we said a henley shirt is basically a collarless polo shirt. It has the same button placket as a polo, but instead of a collar, a henley shirt is collarless, so there’s no pretending this shirt should be worn for anything too serious. That also means no more squeezing your head through a too-small hole and stretching the head hole.
In terms of materials, henleys are almost always made from comfortable blends of cotton, polyester or wool for pricier styles. They make great stand-alone shirts, but they also layer well under sweaters and sweatshirts.
To that end, a lot of companies make lightweight and heavyweight versions of their henley shirts. And in the interest of further versatility, many companies also produce henley shirts with a waffle knit, which makes the fabric more breathable and more absorbent than traditionally knit henley shirts.
How did henley shirts get their name?
Like most things, henley shirts received their name from a place they were first used. In this case, that would be Henley-on-Thames, where local rowers wore the shirts that now bear the name.
How should I style and wear a henley shirt?
In keeping with its athletic origins, a henley shirt is meant to be worn casually. The collar (or lack thereof in this case) is one factor in how casual or formal a shirt is, and with no collar at all (as well as basic materials like cotton and polyester) this shirt is clearly in the casual camp. That means it’ll work with men’s jeans and sneakers like a charm. A henley shirt also pairs well with khakis, and as we said, you can also use a henley shirt as a layer under a sweater or a light jacket.
The placket also gives you added flexibility in your personal style. You can button henley shirts all the way up for a tight clean look or leave them completely unbuttoned to show off a little chest for an easygoing look, not to mention increased airflow on those hotter days.
Put all this together and you can see why henley shirts have taken their place in men’s closets right alongside polos, crewnecks, V-necks and other collarless shirts as a classic fashion staple. They’re comfortable, versatile, generally come in a multitude of colors and easily pair with other closet staples.
That’s why we’ve picked out some of our favorite henley shirts below. We’ve got plenty of long-sleeve and short-sleeve henley shirts here and many brands make both, in case you find an option you really like and want to stock up on its opposite. With spring and summer around the corner, start with the short-sleeve henleys at the top and find the long-sleeve henley shirts at the bottom.
Best Short Sleeve Henley Shirts
1. Cuts Clothing Henley Curve-Hem T-Shirt
BEST MODERN SHORT-SLEEVE
If you need a modern, minimalist, no-frills henley shirt, Cuts Clothing has got you covered. Established in 2016, Cuts Clothing sought to make the cut of its clothes its raison d’etre and in so doing made shopping for your favorite kind of shirt as seamless as their well-crafted shirts. So if you like crew necks, V-necks, henleys, classic hems, split hems or elongated hems, you can easily shop for whatever category you want.
The cut of this short-sleeve henley is just perfect to reduce any bunching, so you’ll never have that wrinkled-shirt look when you’ve been sitting down all day and get up to go out. Compared to some of our other favorite henley shirts, this henley runs fairly tight on the chest, shoulders and arms. But it’s got just the right amount of breathing room in the body so it’s not clinging too much to your skin. Though the shirt is pretty tight on the arms and upper body, Cut Clothing’s signature PYCA Pro fabric is breathable and super soft. We’ll admit it’s a bit of a turnoff that the brand doesn’t tell you exactly what goes into its signature fabric, but hey, the fabric delivers exactly what it says it does, so we’re not complaining.
Overall, the cut is great and the fabric is soft and breathable. Welcome to your new spring-summer go-to shirt.

3. Duluth Trading Men’s TradeTek Wicking Short Sleeve Henley
BEST FOR GETTING WORK DONE
If you need a serious work shirt, Duluth Trading is the place to go. The Duluth Trading Men’s TradeTek Wicking Short Sleeve Henley delivers everything you’d want in a work shirt.

And then there’s the sheer thoughtfulness of a drop tail to prevent plumber butt when you’re on your hands and knees working. Throw in a relaxed fit and you can see how everything adds up to a henley shirt you won’t hate sweating and working in.

4. Untuckit Ultrasoft Short-Sleeve Henley Shirt
For a super-soft short-sleeve henley, it makes sense to go for the appropriately named Ultrasoft Short-Sleeve Henley Shirt from Untuckit.
The fabric is 50-50 cotton-polyester for durability and softness that lives up to the shirt’s promise. Plus, the fit is damn-near perfect. It’s slim enough to flatter but not super clingy so your body can breathe a bit.
Sure, it’s on the pricier side for a single shirt, but the Untuckit short-sleeve henley is definitely one the best henley shirts and you won’t regret having it in your closet.

5. Theory Strato Arlee Short Sleeve Henley Shirt
BEST LIGHTWEIGHT SHORT-SLEEVE
T-shirts aren’t that heavy to begin with, but a more lightweight shirt like the Theory Strato Arlee Short Sleeve Henley Shirt will feel a lot better on your body on those hotter days. The shirt’s made from 100% cotton for comfort and isn’t cut too slim, allowing air to circulate a lot more easily. It’s pretty stylish overall too, which never hurts.

6. Vince Stripe Linen Henley
BEST STRIPED OPTION
Nothing handles the heat like linen clothing. It’s lightweight, loosely woven and breathable and doesn’t clump and cling like other materials. That’s why we love the Vince Stripe Linen Henley. The horizontal yarn-dyed pinstripes offer a nice change of pace from your solid staples, and the linen is sure to keep you comfortable even when you get a little sweat going.

7. Olivers Apparel Convoy Merino Short-Sleeve Henley
Fancy branding and eccentric design do not guarantee the best henley shirt. But premium materials certainly help and that’s what you’ll get with the Olivers Apparel Convoy Merino Short-Sleeve Henley.
Made from 100% Merino wool, this henley shirt is soft, lighter and more durable than your standard cotton-polyester henleys. Just be careful to wash it properly or you might end up with a pricey baby-sized henley.

8. Lululemon The Fundamental Short Sleeve Henley
BEST ATHLEISURE HENLEY
Don’t knock Lululemon until you’ve worn it. Sure, it may be the uniform for so-called basic people everywhere, but there’s a reason people stuck with the brand after the fad wore off: Lululemon makes great athletic-inspired clothing.
The Lululemon The Fundamental Short Sleeve Henley doesn’t fall short on that account. It’s soft and solid, thanks to 40% Pima cotton, but a bit of Lycra elastane adds some stretch and the shirt dries quickly in keeping with Lululemon’s athletic roots. The shirt was also treated with Lululemon’s No-Stink Zinc tech, which helps keep stanky bacteria at bay, another win for the man headed from casual Friday at the office to the basketball court for a pick-up game.

9. Carhartt Short Sleeved Workwear Pocket Henley Shirt
No matter how big, small, short or tall you are, this Carhartt pocket henley will fit. By giving us sizes from small to 4XL and a range of height options, just about any dude will have the ability to wear this comfortably. It’s made from 100% cotton with a durable chest pocket to keep items nearby for when you need them. This shirt is great for dudes that primarily work outside in cold weather because it’s created to keep the body warm and work well under pressure. There are a ton of colors to choose from, but there really is something special about this forest green color. It’s almost piercing, so we’re sure you’re going to turn some heads in this bad boy.

11. Everlane Premium Weight Henley
BEST OVERALL LONG-SLEEVE HENLEY
Everlane got into the clothing business to make exceptional basics and the company delivered on that promise with its Premium Weight Henley. With this moderately priced shirt, you’re getting 6.2 ounces of high-quality cotton cut for the modern man in a trim, slim fit. The cotton is dense and the shirt is form-fitting without being too stiff, so it feels like it’s on the dressier side of henley shirts if you want to tuck it in and don a pair of nice shoes and blazer. But it also works as a great casual shirt for the weekend too with jeans, sneakers and rolled-up sleeves. Add a solid three-button placket and the fact that the shirt comes in five go-to colors, and it’s hard to deny that this henley shirt just works for whatever you need, exactly what we’ve come to expect from Everlane.

12. Goodthreads Long-Sleeve Henley
For better or worse, Amazon is putting its money where its mouth is as it tries to enter the fashion marketplace. The company knows it can’t compete with pure fashion retailers, so instead, it focuses on producing bargain-priced staples with in-house brands. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that Amazon’s Goodthreads Long-Sleeve Henley was one of the cheapest henley shirts we could find. But just because Amazon can afford to offer a low price doesn’t mean it’s skimping on quality. This henley shirt, which comes in 12 colors at varying prices under $20, is made from surprisingly soft cotton with a three-button placket and a form-fitting but not tight regular cut. We generally prefer non-raglan sleeves (sleeves that do not run all the way to the collar and therefore don’t have separate shoulder seams) because we think the shoulder fit is generally better, but if done well, raglan sleeves more than get the job done. This is one shirt where raglan sleeves get the job done.
The only downsides here are somewhat cheap, loose cuffs and some shrinkage from washing. But as long as you’re OK with the former and factor in the latter, perhaps by sizing up and machine washing only on cold, you’re getting a solid henley shirt at a reasonable price with Goodthreads.

13. PEGENO Fashion Casual Henley Shirt
Show off those muscles by keeping them covered with PEGENO’s front placket henley. It’s made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex, giving wearers a soft, moveable shirt with the right amount of stretch. It drapes on the body quite nicely and accentuates the male figure tremendously. This shirt is more or less the effortless throw-on type, making it a quick and easy way to look good in your day-to-day. The henley comes in a number of colors, but as it gets colder, this grey tone will have you fitting right in with the mundane weather ahead. Nobody wants to stand out too much when it’s cold outside.
PEGENO Fashion Casual Henley Shirt
14. Mack Weldon Tech Cashmere Henley
If you’re looking for a truly engineered, high-quality henley shirt, look no further than the Mack Weldon Tech Cashmere Henley shirt. Great on its own or as a base layer, this henley feels cut from the future with a modern trim fit that’s form-fitting without being clingy and a four-button placket, which is a bit less common. Besides the modern design, with excellent-fitting raglan sleeves, the real future twist is the fabric. The shirt is made of what Mack Weldon calls Tech Cashmere. The fabric consists of 47 percent modal, 38 percent Merino wool, 10 percent Cashmere wool and five percent spandex for 100 percent awesomeness.
Jokes aside, this fabric blend is no joke and offers a lot of benefits you simply can’t get from 100 percent cotton or wool. Modal is a kind of rayon fabric, but it’s stronger and softer than conventional rayon with the same resistance to shrinkage and ability to absorb more moisture. The use of Merino wool also helps wick moisture, keeping you dry and regulating your temperature, while also being odor resistant. Adding in Cashmere wool adds strength, lightness, softness and insulation. Then there’s the spandex, which gives the shirt increased flexibility and elasticity, meaning when you stretch the shirt, the fabric stretches with you and retains its shape much better over the long term.

15. Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Henley
If you don’t know Taylor Stitch, you’ve been missing out. The company makes staple men’s clothing built to last and designed with a distinct Americana flair. From leather jackets to boots and everything in between, these pieces will grow and age with you and most importantly never go out of style.
In keeping with its stated goal to build responsibly for the long haul, Taylor Stitch produced a three-button henley shirt designed to last with minimal environmental impact. (What can’t you do, Taylor Stitch?) The brand calls this the Heavy Bag Henley because it’s made of an eight-ounce upcycled cotton and recycled polyester, about 50-50 of each. The cotton-polyester combo makes this shirt dense and heavy but unbelievably soft for the weight, so it’s as durable and warming as it is comfortable. We tend to like tighter, slim-fit shirts, so we love this henley shirt, but if you like to roll up your sleeves or if you’re a more muscular gentleman, you might want to size up because the arms are tight and don’t have a lot of stretch in them. But that’s really the only downside we would identify.

16. Wrangler Plaid Woven Shirt
BEST FOR LAYERING
It’s getting chipper outside, to say the least. It’s time to layer up with one of our favorites from Wrangler. This relaxed fit henley is a comfortable staple to your casual selection of clothing and will keep you warm and cozy through fall and winter. It’s great to wear alone on warmer days as well as over your favorite undershirt to help keep the heat in when it gets colder outside. It’s textured with a waffle knit fabric that allows the shirt to be more wearable in colder temps, considering waffle is known for helping contain a bit of heat. Wear this baby to the bar, out shopping or at a bonfire with friends. Don’t love the black color? No worries, there are a ton more color options to choose from.

17. Cuts Clothing Long-Sleeve Henley
MOST MODERN LONG-SLEEVE
If Cuts Clothing makes one of the best henley shirts as a short-sleeve shirt, you can bet it makes one of the best henley shirts in long-sleeve too.
The Cuts Clothing Long-Sleeve Henley has all the same things going for it as its short-sleeve counterpart and you won’t be disappointed.
Pick this shirt up in one of seven cool muted colors. For our pick, we really dig the henley in sage. It’s just the right level of muted green to differentiate yourself without standing out. And if you’re more of a split hem guy as opposed to a curve hem guy, the only difference between the shirts is the hem at the bottom, not to mention a few different color options for the split hem version.

18. Hanes Long-Sleeve Beefy Henley Shirt
Although we already talked about our go-to budget pick from Goodthreads, we couldn’t leave out this henley from Hanes. If you’ve ever owned anything from Hanes, whether it be an undershirt or a pair of boxers, you’ll know that these affordable garments go a long way. For just $9, this henley is a handsome, long-lasting henley that’s stylish enough to wear in public and never break the bank. There is a multitude of colors, too, so pick your poison and dress for less.
Hanes Long-Sleeve Beefy Henley Shirt
19. Ralph Lauren Indigo Jacquard-Knit Henley
The henley shirt originated as a rowing shirt in the city of Henley-on-Thames, England. It didn’t become a T-shirt alternative until designer Ralph Lauren popularized the design. Ralph Lauren still produces henley shirts today, including a snazzy Indigo Jacquard-Knit Henley with a three-button placket. The jacquard knit gives the shirt a cool woven texture, and the shirt is rinsed for a worn-in appearance and added softness. In terms of fit, this henley shirt comes in a standard, loose fit, so it’s not tight except for the ribbed cuffs. Be aware that Ralph Lauren uses actual indigo in the dying process, so color will rub off on to your other clothes, but that’s a small price to pay for the color of actual indigo and one heck of a stylish shirt. The real price you pay is the steep price of the shirt itself, which is definitely the biggest downside.
Ralph Lauren Indigo Jacquard-Knit Henley
20. Patagonia Long-Sleeve Work Henley
BEST FOR A HIKE
Henley shirts aren’t just for casual city fun. The right henley makes for great outdoor wear too, and few companies do outdoor better than Patagonia. The Patagonia Long-Sleeve Work Henley is made from a hefty 8.4-ounce blend of organic cotton and industrial hemp with a ribbed collar and cuffs as well as a handy chest pocket. The hemp helps make the shirt abrasion-resistant while the cotton keeps things soft. As is the case with all of Patagonia’s clothing in its Workwear line, the cut is pretty roomy so, between the cut and the three-button placket, breathability and airflow won’t be a problem.
In addition to literally feeling good and comfortable wearing this shirt, you can feel good knowing you’re supporting Fair Trade-Certified sewn clothing, too. As for our pick, we honestly like all four of Patagonia’s basic colors, but if you’re going hiking, blend into nature with the industrial green color. Just don’t get separated from your friends!
Patagonia Long-Sleeved Work Henley Pocket Tee
21. Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley
BEST LIGHTWEIGHT LONG-SLEEVE
We’ve thrown a few heavyweight henley shirts your way, but you’re going to want something on the lighter side, too. The Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley shirt is just what the doctor ordered. First, this shirt uses Pima cotton, an extra-long-staple cotton. The use of these longer cotton fibers results in a crazy soft fabric that’s stronger and more resistant to tearing, fading, wrinkling and pilling than upland cotton, the mass-produced cotton in most of our clothes. The use of Pima cotton alone makes this shirt a cut above the rest. But because Pima cotton is stronger than upland cotton, you can use less of it in a shirt, meaning you can ultimately have a lighter, equally durable shirt, which is exactly what Buck Mason has done.
A four-button placket, ribbed cuffs and a curved hem complete the package for a reliable, lightweight and comfortable henley shirt, available in two core colors and four seasonal colors.
Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley
22. Mack Weldon Warmknit Waffle Henley
Yup, Mack Weldon made the list again for its excellent Warmknit Waffle Henley shirt. As we mentioned at the top, waffle knits are breathable and absorbent (which is why dish towels frequently have waffle knits), but waffle knits also provide extra insulation and warmth. This henley shirt makes good use of the waffle knit and it incorporates Thermolite, a heat-retaining insulating polyester, into the fabric blend for additional warmth. Combine that with modal, wool and spandex, a similar fabric blend to the Mack Weldon Tech Cashmere Henley, and you’ve got a henley shirt ready to greet fall and winter without breaking a sweat. For our color picks, we love the red fern color for fall and the charcoal heather for winter.

23. Arc’teryx Sirrus Henley Shirt
BEST ACTIVE WEAR DESIGN
For a shirt that looks good enough to wear on a date but has the moisture-wicking properties of a shirt that can handle a last-minute hiking session, we recommend the henley shirt from Arc’teryx Sirrus. Made with cotton, polyester and elastane, the Sirrus is a relaxed fit shirt that moves with the wearer. A great option for wearing around the home during cold months or outside during weekend adventures, the shirt features DryTech fabric that pulls moisture away from the body and keeps wearers cool even when they’re on the move. The extended length of the shirt makes it a great option for taller customers or anyone who is looking for more coverage. The Sirrus is finished with a three placket metal button closure.

24. Patagonia Better Sweater Henley Pullover
MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS
Whether you are looking for a henley shirt that can be worn on its own or as a layering piece, has short or long sleeves, is solid or striped, most people would always prefer to opt for a piece of clothing that is gentle on the environment. That’s why we like the Patagonia Better Sweater Henley Pullover, which is made completely from recycled materials. The shirt is made from 100% recycled polyester fleece that has been dyed in an environmentally friendly manner that reduces the energy and water consumption of the conventional dying process. The fuzzy fleece interior of the sweater makes it comfortable to wear on its own or with a thin long sleeve shirt or undershirt. Made with Fair Trade Certified practices, the Patagonia Better Sweater can be worn as a warm single layer or paired with a vest or heavy outer shell. The versatile sweater can go from the office to the hiking trail and has a roomy fit that is still slim enough to make it stylish and appropriate for casual wear.

25. Fjallraven Singi Merino Henley Shirt
BEST FOR COLD WEATHER
Whether you are getting ready to hit the slopes, backpack through icy terrain or spend the day on a frozen pond working on your slapshot, the Fjallraven Singi Merino Henley Shirt is the best first layer of defense against cold weather. Made from traceable merino wool and durable nylon filament yarn, the shirt quickly wicks away sweat and insulates the user even when the fabric has become damp. This is crucial to clothes that are worn in cold weather since wetness can quickly lead to frostbite or hypothermia. Designed with flatlock seams to prevent chafing, the long-sleeved henley style shirt is also odor resistant thanks to its use of Merino wool.


The Bantam is Biltwell’s synthetic/leather hybrid that packs a ton of protection and comfort into one stylish, affordable 3 season design.
- Leather construction in palm, fingers and thumbs
- Quilted synthetic back panel for ventilation and comfort
- Accordion baffles on index and middle fingers for flexibility
- Fleece tricot half liner wicks moisture for a better grip
- Neoprene Lycra wrist cuff with leather Velcro closure
- Rugged polyester stitching throughout


With the constant movement of products and equipment within warehouses, they are prone to accumulating dust, dirt, and grime. At SRS Cleaning Equipment, we suggest a robust ride on scrubber for effective cleaning and optimum results.
Maintaining a clean and safe environment is not only essential for the longevity of the warehouse infrastructure but also for the well-being of workers and the efficiency of operations.
In recent years, ride on scrubbers have revolutionised warehouse maintenance, transforming these once dusty and dim spaces into gleaming, efficient, and safe facilities.
The Challenge of Warehouse Maintenance
Warehouses present unique challenges when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Their massive floor areas, often spanning several thousand square feet, can be daunting to clean using traditional methods such as mops or manual scrubbing machines.
Plus, the frequent movement of goods and machinery creates constant dust and debris, making it difficult to maintain a consistently clean environment.
Conventional cleaning methods are not only time-consuming but also labour-intensive. They often require significant manpower and can lead to increased downtime as cleaning crews navigate through the facility. They can also disrupt operations and result in lost productivity.
The Rise of the Ride On Scrubber
The advent of ride on scrubbers has revolutionised warehouse maintenance, offering a highly efficient and effective solution to tackle the challenges faced by traditional cleaning methods.
These robust machines are designed to cover large surface areas quickly and effectively, making warehouse cleaning more manageable, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
Key Benefits of A Ride On Scrubber
Ride on scrubbers can cover extensive floor areas in a fraction of the time required by manual cleaning methods.
This increased efficiency translates to reduced downtime and enhanced productivity, as cleaning crews can quickly complete their tasks and vacate the area for warehouse operations to resume promptly.
Enhanced Ride On Scrubber Cleaning Performance
Equipped with powerful scrubbing brushes and efficient suction systems, our fleet of ride on scrubbers can effectively remove tough stains, dirt, and grime from warehouse floors. They leave behind a polished and spotless surface, improving the overall aesthetics of the facility.
Worker Safety and Well-being
By reducing the need for manual labour in cleaning tasks, ride on scrubbers help alleviate physical strain and potential injuries to workers.
This leads to improved employee well-being and a safer working environment, fostering higher job satisfaction and lower absenteeism rates.
While the initial investment in ride on scrubbers may seem significant, their long-term cost-effectiveness is undeniable. The reduced labour requirements and increased efficiency contribute to substantial cost savings over time.
Many of our ride on scrubbers are designed to be environmentally friendly, using less water and detergent while maintaining exceptional cleaning performance.
This not only conserves natural resources but also reduces the overall ecological impact of warehouse cleaning operations.
Ride on scrubbers are versatile machines that can be used on various floor surfaces, including concrete, tile, vinyl, and epoxy coatings. This adaptability allows them to cater to the diverse needs of different warehouses and industries.
A ride on scrubber is a powerful machine that has revolutionised warehouse maintenance, providing a cost-effective, time-efficient, and environmentally friendly solution to cleaning challenges.
At SRS Cleaning Equipment, we supply warehouses, factories, car parks and construction sites throughout the UK with ride on scrubber hire through our short term and long term (Flexi-Hire) fleet.

worcestershire ccc 2018 overseas player travis head will link up with his new team mates at New Road on april 5.
the australian batsman will fly in a week ahead of the opening specsavers county championship match with hampshire at the ageas bowl.
head coach kevin sharp said head – who skippered the adelaide strikers to big bash glory – will play in an internal practice match before the action starts for real on the south coast.
sharp is relishing the prospect of working with the 24-year-old who plays regular white ball cricket for his country but is also keen to force his way into the test side.
he said: “travis leaves us for about a month in june but then we’ve got him for most of the season.
“he is a fine young player who has got aspirations to go on and play test cricket for australia.
“i think australia are quite keen for their players to get some experience in england with a big series coming up in a year or two!
“that works well certainly for us in the fact we’ve got this guy who is going to be very hungry and very keen to want to do well in english conditions.
“i’m sure we are going to get some great benefits from that.
“he led the adelaide strikers to the big bash title so his experience in all formats is going to stand us in good stead.
“it’s a while since we had an overseas batter at the club so that will add strength in depth in that department.”
sharp added: “travis will arrive on april 5. we have an internal practice match in the week before we play hampshire. he will be available for that.
“he will have a good week to acclimatise and get to know the lads before we get underway.”

The Wikipedia article of the day for October 18, 2016 is Freida Pinto.
Freida Pinto (born 18 October 1984) is an Indian actress who has appeared mainly in American and British films. Born and raised in Mumbai, she decided to become an actress at a young age. She was educated at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, where she took part in amateur plays. After graduation, she briefly worked as a model and then as a television presenter. Pinto made her cinematic debut with the British drama Slumdog Millionaire (2008), for which she received several nominations at the British Academy Film Awards, the MTV Movie Awards and the Teen Choice Awards. Her biggest commercial success came with the 2011 science fiction film Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The same year, she portrayed the title character in Michael Winterbottom's Trishna. Her performance in the biographical film Desert Dancer (2014) received critical acclaim. Although the Indian media has credited Pinto with breaking stereotypes of Indian women in foreign films, she has been a lesser-known figure in Indian cinema. She is a vocal advocate for underprivileged children and women.

We were still getting into the overall groove of the tour, and I felt that I was still chasing the game a little in terms of personal organisation, but it was an easygoing time. Walks along the beachfront, local pubs, a bit of shopping here and there, and catching up with family. Donkey rides, a penny a glass...
Bridlington, like most seaside towns, is always a little more cheery when the sun is shining, and I am happy to report that the weather was with us throughout our visit. The place we stayed was lovely; it was our second time there and probably won't be our last. Sue and Terry are great hosts and The Malvern is a fab place to stay.
OK, so that's our mini-break done. Time to get back into rock 'n' roll mode.


So we had our annual trip and this year London fashion weekend was the venue of choice.
But what a disappointment to see how the leading make up sponsor failed to reel me in and make me a new found customer or advocate.
The Vodafone London Fashion Weekend delivered a wonderful experience for those who entered the Canon 360 Studio. The DMA's Brand Activation Council step into the fashion world and share their thoughts.
Content marketing clearly works. But how will the EU Data law alter content in 2017? Will the need for opt-in create a stampede to produce yet more white papers, more webinars and more infographics? Will B2B customers be drowning in content?
Does brand loyalty really exist? Instead of aiming for a lifelong love affair with customers, marketers should be using data to establish themselves as valued sources of advice, entertainment and interesting information.
Have you failed at Real-Time Marketing yet? If yes, then that’s great – because it means that you’ve tried it out. Despite all the industry buzz, articles, and World Cup tweets, you’d be surprised at how many brands and marketers still haven’t jumped on...
A whopping 99% of what we produce is ignored, and the only way to make sure that our work is in the 1% that isn’t is to be brave. Consumers are bombarded by 3,500 to 5,000 marketing messages a day and achieving cut-through is a huge challenge.

Peoples Nat. Bank v. Linebarger Const. Co.Annotate this Case
240 S.W.2d 12 (1951)
PEOPLES NAT. BANK OF LITTLE ROCK v. LINEBARGER CONST. CO. et al.
Supreme Court of Arkansas.
May 28, 1951.
Rehearing Denied July 2, 1951.
*13 Donham, Fulk & Mehaffy, Little Rock, for appellant.
William M. Moorhead, E. Charles Eichenbaum and A. F. House, all of Little Rock, for appellees.
The trial court refused to allow appellant any recovery for money which it had advanced to Floyd Cart in reliance on appellees' representations to appellant.
The appellee, Linebarger Construction Company (hereinafter called "Linebarger"), was a partnership composed of W. E. and Richard W. Linebarger, and was the principal contractor for building the Rivercliff Apartments in Little Rock. Linebarger subcontracted to Floyd Cart the furnishing of laborbut not materials for the plastering work in the said buildings. The subcontract was based on unit prices; and, through error of Linebarger, the original total of Cart's subcontract was placed at $62,551.70 for which he made surety performance bond to Linebarger. The correct total afterwards proved to be only $50,884.30.
The Linebarger-Cart contract was dated February 18, 1948, and stated that Cart was to be paid on monthly estimates. But his laborers demanded payment each week; and Cart was unable to finance these payments from one month to the next. Accordingly, he asked Linebarger to pay him each week. This request was refused, but Linebarger suggested that Cart might get some bank to finance him from one monthly payment to the next. Linebarger learned from Cart that he carried an account with the appellant, Peoples National Bank (hereinafter called "Peoples" or "Bank"); and Linebarger then called the Peoples Bank and outlined the situation to Mr. Hadfield, one of its officials. Hadfield gave the following undenied version of the conversation: "Mr. Linebarger called me by telephone. He told me that he had let a subcontract for the plastering on the Rivercliff Apartments to Mr. Floyd D. Cart and that Mr. Cart would need money for his payroll from month to month and that he could only pay him once a month on his estimate and wanted to know if my bank would be interested in financing this payroll. I asked him how much money it would involve and I believe he told me the contract ran into some sixty thousand dollars total, but he would only want payroll money from month to month. He says, `You will be taking no chances, however, *14 on that; I will have an assignment drawn in my office of the contract in favor of your bank; I will give you a letter each month telling you how much money he will have coming to him from the next estimate so you will know how much money to lend him.'"
Linebarger prepared and had Cart execute an assignment from Cart to the Bank, and Linebarger executed the acceptance of the assignment, and gave Cart the completed instrument, along with a signed letter from Linebarger to the Bank, dated May 21st, and reading:
"Confirming Mr. Linebarger's conversation with you, we enclose herewith Assignment of monies to be paid to Floyd D. Cart, Plaster Contractor, on his contract with us for work to be done on the Rivercliff Apartments. This Assignment has been duly completed by this company and it is our understanding that Mr. Cart will call at the bank in the morning to complete the transaction.
"By June 10 an amount near $6,000.00 will be due Mr. Cart on his contract."
Armed with these papers prepared by Linebarger, Cart then approached the Bank for the first time on the matter; and Mr. Hadfield agreed to make the loans, as suggested, and wrote Linebarger:
"You will find enclosed a signed and accepted copy of the assignment of monies coming to Floyd D. Cart from your company and we have this day advanced Mr. Cart $3,000.00 on the strength of same.
"Mr. Cart advises us that he will need another pay roll next Saturday. In that event we would appreciate you giving us another letter as to the approximate amount that will be coming to him on June 10 or the next pay day."
The $3,000.00 loan was properly repaid on June 10th by check of Linebarger, made jointly to Cart and Peoples Bank. After the first loan, the Bank made a series of loans to Cart, in reliance on the aforementioned assignment and Linebarger's letter of estimate to the Bank prior to each such loan. Each transaction was handled and concluded as follows:
(a)On May 28th Linebarger advised the Bank that on June 10th there would be due Cart $7,000.00 on his contract; the Bank made loans to Cart for $4,500.00; and on June 10th Linebarger issued its check to Cart and the Bank for said amount, and Cart delivered the check to the Bank in payment of the loan.
(b)On June 12th Linebarger advised the Bank that on June 15th there would be due Cart $2,500.00 on his contract; the Bank made a loan to Cart for that amount; and on June 15th Linebarger issued its check to Cart and the Bank for said amount, and Cart delivered the check to the Bank in payment of the loan.
(c)On June 18th Linebarger advised the Bank that on July 15th there would be *15 due Cart $13,000.00 on his contract; the Bank made loans to Cart totalling that amount; and on July 15th Linebarger issued its check to Cart and the Bank for said amount, and Cart delivered the check to the Bank in payment of the loan.
(d)On July 16th Linebarger advised the Bank that on August 15th there would be due Cart $13,000.00 on his contract; the Bank made loans to Cart totalling that amount; and on August 15th Linebarger issued its check to Cart and the Bank for said amount, and Cart delivered the check to the Bank in payment of the loan.
We come now to the transaction that caused this litigation. On August 12th Linebarger advised the Bank that on September 15th there would be due Cart $16,000.00 on his contract; the Bank made a loan to Cart for that amount; but on September 15th Linebarger refused to issue any check, claimingas was a fact that Cart had defaulted in his contract, and that the difference in the total figure of the contract (that is, the difference between $62,551.70 and $50,884.30) had also come to light. It developed that Cart "had too many irons in the fire"; he was operating various businesses, and had lost money in them to such an extent that he became a voluntary bankrupt. The Bank proved, by evidence, that of the $16,000.00 loaned to Cart on the strength of Lincbarger's letter of August 12th, the sum of $11,996.07 was actually used to pay Cart's payrolls on his subcontract with Linebarger.
I. Promissory Estoppel. The Bank, in claiming that it is entitled to judgment against Linebarger, relies on the rule of estoppel, and particularly that of promissory estoppel. The broad general principle of estoppel is: "* * * he, who, by his language or conduct, leads another to do what he would not otherwise have done, shall not subject such person to loss or injury by disappointing the expectations upon which he acted. Such a change of position is sternly forbidden."
We have many cases recognizing and applying the rule of estoppel. Most of the old cases held that the representation must relate to a past or present situation, rather than to something in the future. See 19 Am.Jur. 656, "Estoppel", Sec. 52; and see also 31 C.J.S., Estoppel, § 80, page 289. But the Arkansas Supreme Court, in an early caseShields v. Smith, 37 Ark. 47 held that if one, by his statements as to his intended abandonment of existing rights, designedly induces another to change his condition in reliance upon such statements, then the person so stating will afterwards be estopped in his efforts to enforce his rights contrary to his declared intention to abandon them.
Later, in Conley v. Johnson, 69 Ark. 513, 64 S.W. 277, 278, a party stated his intentions and allowed another to rely thereon, and estoppel was successfully invoked. Mr. Justice Wood quoted in the opinion from Union Mutual Ins. Co. v. Mowry, 96 U.S. 544, 24 L.Ed. 674: "The doctrine of estoppel is applied with respect to representations of a party, to prevent their operating as a fraud upon one who has been led to rely upon them. * * * as to matters of fact, or to his intended abandonment of existing rights".
And, again, he quoted from Bishop on Contracts: "It is a palpable fraud for one man to entice another with promises to change his course of action, and to his injury part with his effects or his services, * * *".
Again, In Davis v. Shelby, 136 Ark. 405, 206 S.W. 749, we held that when a party, by his statement of his intended abandonment of his purchase, induced another to buy the land from the vendor, then such *16 party would be estopped to enforce his rights contrary to his declared intention of abandoment. In each of the foregoing cases the estoppel was based on the representation of a future matter, as distinguished from the representation of a past or present event.
The trend of modern cases is to extend the rule of estoppel to promissory statements, if the evidence clearly shows that the statements were made to induce action and that the promissor was culpable in some regard. Pomeroy's Equity Jurisprudence, 5th ed., Sec. 808b, states the holdings in this language: "There are numerous cases in which an estoppel has been predicated on promises or assurances as to future conduct. Thus an estoppel may arise from the making of a promise, even though without consideration, if it was intended that the promise be relied upon and in fact it was relied upon, and a refusal to enforce it would be virtually to sanction the perpetration of fraud or result in other injustice. The name `promissory estoppel', has been adopted as indicating that the basis of the doctrine is not so much one of contract, with a substitute for consideration, as an application of the general principle of estoppel to certain situations."
To the same effect see 19 Am.Jur. 657, "Estoppel", Sec. 53, and 31 C.J.S., Estoppel, § 80, page 289. See also Annotation on "Promissory Estoppel" in 115 A.L.R. 152 which lists and discusses many cases which have applied estoppel to promises.
The following are only a few of the many recent cases recognizing the development of the law of promissory estoppel, which development is an attempt by the courts to keep remedies abreast of increased moral consciousness of honesty and fair representations in all business dealings: Brewer v. Universal Credit Co., 1940, 191 Miss. 183, 192 So. 902; Lacy v. Wozencraft, 1940, 105 P.2d 781; Thorn v. Thorn, 1940, 208 Minn. 461, 294 N.W. 461; May v. City of Kearney, 1945, 145 Neb. 475, 17 N.W.2d 448; In re Jamison's Estate, Mo.Sup.1947, 202 S.W.2d 879; Goodman v. Dicker, 1948, 83 U.S.App.D.C. 353, 169 F.2d 684; Klein v. Farmer, 1948, 85 CaI.App.2d 545, 194 P.2d 106; Swift v. Petersen, 1949, 240 Iowa 715, 37 N.W.2d 258; and Waugh v. Lennard 1949, 69 Ariz. 214, 211 P.2d 806.
In applying the rule of promissory estoppel to the case at bar, we only need to list a few of the salient acts, representations, and omissions by Linebarger:
(a)Linebarger initiated a course of dealings with the Bank so that Linebarger's subcontractor, Cart, might meet his weekly payroll and thereby benefit Linebarger.
(b)Linebarger stated to the Bank: "You will be taking no chances, however, on that; I will have an assignment drawn in my office of the contract in favor of your bank; I will give you a letter each month telling you how much money he will have coming to him from the next estimate so you will know how much money to lend him."
(c)Over a period of months Linebarger gave letters of estimate to the Bank as to the amount Linebarger would owe Cart on future dates, and each one of these letters proved accurate; and Linebarger issued its check, in accordance therewith, up to the transaction involved in this litigation. In short, by its dealings and conduct, Linebarger led the Bank to believe that checks would be issued in accordance with Linebarger's letters.
*17 (d)Then, on August 12th, at a time when Linebarger knew that Cart's total contract was not $62,551.70 but only $50,884.30, and when Linebarger knew that Cart was not properly performing the subcontract and was neglecting the work, Linebarger wrote the Bank that on September 15th Linebarger would owe Cart $16,000.00.
Under the rule of promissory estoppel, and in view of all the course of dealings, we hold (a) that Linebarger's letter of August 12th was a representation by Linebarger that on September 15th it would issue its check to the Bank and Cart for any amountup to $16,000.00that the Bank might advance to Cart to meet his payroll; (b) that the Bank was justified in relying on Linebarger's representations and in advancing Cart money, of which $11,996.07 actually went to meet the payroll of Cart in the Linebarger construction; and (c) that Linebarger is now estopped from denying the promissory representations contained in the letter of August 12th.
II. The Amount the Bank is Entitled to Recover. With the rule of promissory estoppel thus applied, we come to the amount that the Bank is entitled to recover from Linebarger; and we find this amount to be $11,996.07 and interest. If special circumstances had not indicated a particular purpose for use of the money, then the estoppel might well have extended to the full amount stated in the representation; but the dealings between Linebarger and the Bank, as already shown, designated the particular purpose for which the Bank was to advance the money to Carti. e., the meeting of payrolls. In relying on Linebarger's representations, the Bank was not free to let Cart have the money for general purposes but only for the special purpose of paying his laborers. Since only $11,996.07 went to meet Cart's payrolls on the Linebarger job, the Bank, in asking a court of equity to give it relief on the basis of promissory estoppel, is likewise estopped to claim any amount greater than what actually went into the Linebarger job this in view of the particular course of dealings in this case. A reasonable construction of relationships is that Linebarger represented to the Bank that on designated dates Linebarger would supply estimates of the amounts Cart would be entitled to receive for work actually performed on the building, the benefits of which were received by Linebarger. Since a preponderance of the evidence shows that Linebarger profited to the extent of $11,996.07 of the estimates so made, and upon which estimate the bank relied, Linebarger will be estopped to deny the values accruing at appellant's cost.
*18 Therefore, the decree of the Chancery-Court is reversed and the cause is remanded, with directions to enter a decree in favor of the Bank, and against Linebarger, for the said sum of $11,996.07, with interest from September 15th, 1948 until paid, and together with all costs.
GEORGE ROSE SMITH, J., not participating.NOTES
 The Linebarger-Cart contract contained these provisions: "It is further understood and agreed that the quantities set forth above ate of close approximations only, and that the unit prices govern, with the quantities being adjusted to those actually developed in the job, and that the final gross consideration is to be the sum of the actual quantities at the unit prices set forth herein. * * * It is further agreed and understood that such partial or monthly payments shall only be made for 90% of the work performed, the remaining 10% being retained until the completion of the work and final payment under general contract conditions and then added to, and made a part of, the final or completion payment."
Another case in this Court growing out of the Linebarger-Cart contract is that of Western Casualty Co. v. Linebarger, Ark., 239 S.W.2d 753.
 It reads in its entirety: "Assignment
"Know All Men By These Presents:
"That, for and in consideration of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) to the undersigned in hand paid by Peoples National Bank of Little Rock, Arkansas, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and as security for the full repayment of loans made and to be made the undersigned by the said Peoples National Bank of Little Rock, evidenced by notes executed by the undersigned to the said bank, any renewals or extensions thereof, the said undersigned Floyd D. Cart, Plaster Contractor, does hereby transfer, assign, and deliver to the said Peoples National Bank all sums due and to become due Floyd D. Cart, Plaster Contractor under that contract executed on February 18, 1948 by and between the undersigned and Linebarger Construction Company for labor on lath and plaster work on the Rivercliff. Apartments, it being understood that the within assignment covers all of the funds to be disbursed subsequent to the date of this instrument by Linebarger Construction Company, Little Rock, Arkansas.
"In Witness Whereof this instrument has b'Mn executed in Little Rock, Arkansas, this 21st day of May, 1948."Floyd D. Cart, Plaster Contractor "By: /s/ Floyd D. Cart
"Notice of the above assignment is hereby acknowledged this 21st day of May, 1948."Linebarger Construction Company "By: /s/ R. W. Linebarger Partner"
 Linebarger discovered this mistake sometime earlier but never mentioned it to the Bank.
 The quotation is from Dickerson v. Colgrove, 100 U.S. 578, 25 L. Ed. 618. In Keylon v. Arnold, 213 Ark. 130, 209 S. \V.2d 459, and also in Rogers v. Hill, Ark., 232 S.W.2d 443, other cases are listed stating some of the principles of estoppel.
 Shields v. Smith was cited in American Surety Co. v. Ballman, 8 Cir., 115 F. 292, as one of the cases holding that a promise as to future conduct could form the basis of estoppel
 In West's Arkansas Digest, Estoppel, =85, two cases are listed as apparently holding that estoppel does not apply to representations concerning future events. These cases are Rhodes v. Cissel, 82 Ark. 367, 101 S.W. 758, 760, and Renncr v. Progressive Life Ins. Co., 193 Ark. 504, 101 S.W.2d 420. 430. But a study of these cases shows that neither case directly concerned the matter of promissory estoppel. In Rhodes v. Cissel, the opinion says of Cissel: "He was not misled or influenced by Rhodes to take any course of conduct, and Rhodes is not estopped." In Renner v. Progressive Life Ins. Co., the Court said: "It is not estoppel, however, but fraud upon which appellant relies."
 On the witness stand, Mr. Linebarger was asked and gave answer: "Q. The point I am getting at, Mr. Linebarger, to be perfectly frank, is, you had a letter out here addressed to Peoples National Bank, dated August 12, 1948, in which you told the bank that between September first and fifteenth he would have approximately sixteen thousand dollars coming to him under his contract with your company. Now I just want you to state to the Court frankly, in your own way, whether you felt you discharged the obligation you had toward the bank in view of that letter you wrote them, or failed to discharge it by putting them on notice not to lend him any more money after that, when you knew he wasn't doing the work. A. Mr. Fulk, in my mind I had no obligation to the bank, and still I don't believe I have any obligation to the bank."
The rule of promissory estoppel is at variance with Mr. Linebarger's answer. He did owe an obligation to the bank: the obligation of fulfilling his representations.
 In Citizens National Bank at Brownwood v. Ross Construction Co., 140 Tex. 236, 206 S.W.2d 593, the Supreme Court of Texas held the rule of promissory estoppel inapplicable in a situation in which a bank had advanced $13,000.00 to a subcontractor in reliance on the general contractor's acceptance of an assignmmt by the subcontractor. But in the Texas case there were not present the controlling facts found here, i. e.. (a) initiation of the credit by the general contractor; (b) regularly sending of letters containing estimates of amounts to be due at future dates; (c) course of dealings on which general contractor allowed bank to rely; and (d) knowledge of the general contractor as to mistake of total amount to be paid subcontractor.

As Sudan's conflict deepens, famine emerges as a sinister result of the civil war. This article delves into the complex relationship between famine and warfare, with a spotlight on FAO's ambitious intervention.
Background on the civil war in Sudan
In April 2023, Sudan witnessed the outbreak of hostilities between rival armed factions in its capital Khartoum, sparking concerns about a potential return to full-scale civil war. The conflict primarily revolves around a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Both factions are battling for control of the state and its resources, raising the possibility of a protracted civil war.
With the conflict now persisting for nearly a year since its commencement, the escalating hostilities have exacerbated humanitarian conditions and complicated the once-expected democratic shift.
How Sudan's Civil War Sparks Famine
Sudan's civil war has become a devastating precursor to widespread famine, as security threats and roadblocks impede humanitarian efforts, making aid delivery nearly impossible.
The World Food Programme (WFP) reports that nearly five million people in Sudan are now grappling with emergency-level hunger—a figure that has doubled since the conflict's onset. According to the BBC, WFP has only managed to reach 10% of those urgently requiring aid, particularly in conflict-ridden areas like Khartoum and the western Darfur region.
Adding to the complexity, aid groups operating in Sudan face significant challenges. According to the news organization Reuters, aid agencies have reported that their supply trucks have been looted, and their workers have been subjected to attacks. Compounding these issues, the government imposes barriers, making it arduous to obtain permits for humanitarian workers to access specific regions.
By the close of 2023, an alarming 18 million people were in urgent need of food assistance.
As reported by the FAO, the ongoing conflict has forced more than 960,000 to seek refuge in neighboring countries, further exacerbating the food crisis. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase projections states that over 42% of the population have been grappling with high levels of acute food insecurity between July and September 2023—almost double the figure from May 2022.
FAO's Comprehensive Response: A $123 Million Plan to Alleviate Hunger and Rebuild Livelihoods
In a pivotal move to combat the growing food insecurity in Sudan, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has initiated the Emergency Livelihood Response Plan. This comprehensive plan aims to provide immediate relief by furnishing communities with emergency seeds, livestock treatment kits, and essential veterinary and fisheries support.
A key focus of the plan is to bolster cereal production, contributing to meeting the anticipated needs of at least 13 million and potentially up to 19 million people for the upcoming harvests. Additionally, vulnerable individuals who have lost productive assets will benefit from restocking initiatives for their animals.
Recognizing the significance of livestock in livelihoods, the FAO's plan outlines support for mass vaccination campaigns to protect six million livestock.
However, the ambitious plan requires substantial financial backing, with the FAO estimating a budget of $123 million for the next 12 months. This funding is crucial to implementing the multifaceted strategy and reaching targeted farmers, herders, and fishers in the most food-insecure states across Sudan.
As Sudan's civil war intensifies, a glimmer of hope emerges with the FAO's Emergency Livelihood Response Plan. Providing crucial aid, it aims to rebuild lives and alleviate hunger.
