Where do you keep your stuff? Here's my issue and mostly would like to hear form N.VA people or those in rapidly growing areas..... I live in a townhouse and at the moment park my truck and trailer on the street which may actually be against zoning. I'm looking at buying an enclosed trailer soon to keep my things in as my current trailer is a dump trailer. I am unsure of what streets I can park on or how to find thsoe that I can. Another idea is finding some "rural" people within 10miles and trading landscaping services/cash to park my trailer on their small farm. Help?


The conservation outcome of this project is more tigers remaining in the wild, and an improved attitude among local villagers toward tigers, all as a result of efficient and professional responses to human-tiger conflicts.
This grant helped to improve the reliability of population estimates of Amur leopards and tigers in Hunchun Nature Reserve.
IFAW is using the power of the internet to influence China’s attitude to wildlife trade.
In the Spring of 2004 Tigris and WCS- China conducted the first social survey in villages inside and close to the Hunchun Reserve. The survey measured how the villagers felt about conservation issues and the reserve in general. This survey was repeated in 2005 in order to measure progress. There were significant improvements in people’s attitudes and opinions in this short period. These can be directly linked to the conservation activities that these NGO’s started in this period.

The surprisingly rich contours of schizophrenia epidemiology
ABSTRACT ESEARCHERS LIKE TO BE surprised by the data. When new data challenge old beliefs, the field becomes primed for discovery. The aim of this commentary is to let the broader psychiatric community know about recent discoveries in schizophrenia epidemiology, and to speculate on how best to leverage these discoveries to advance knowledge. For those who do not follow the literature closely, recent research in the epidemiology of schizophrenia may come as a surprise. The once cardinal notions that schizophrenia affects men and women equally and is found in all societies with comparable (or equal) incidence are no longer supported by the data. Schizophrenia is not the egalitarian disorder that we once thought it was.1

- "Schizophrenia is a common and devastating mental illness with a lifetime incidence rate of about 1% throughout the global population . Temporal, geographic, and population variations in this incidence rate have yielded clues to some of the possible etiologies of schizophrenia . Perhaps the most well established variation in the topography of schizophrenia incidence rates is the increased rate associated with a winter-spring birth (in the northern hemisphere ) , which is roughly 10% higher than the 1% yearly base incidence rate for schizophrenia (i.e., the absolute winter-spring risk is 1.1%). "
ABSTRACT: The season of birth risk factor for schizophrenia exerts a pervasive effect on the global population, particularly at northerly latitudes. The winter infection hypothesis and the low vitamin D hypothesis are both compelling but lack conclusive clinical data. The present work develops a maternal–fetal chronobiological hypothesis for this season of birth risk factor and its prevention by maternal bright light treatment. Around the winter solstice, due to decreased sunlight, the chronobiological apparatus of the at-risk second trimester mother is characterized by a reduced amplitude circadian pacemaker, and a reduced maximum of her nocturnal plasma melatonin concentrations (MTmax) and an increased minimum of her nocturnal core body temperatures (Tmin)—both of which exert adverse effects on the fetal hippocampus and dorsal striatum. The consequences for the fetus include reduced volume and increased excitability of the hippocampus, ventral striatal dysfunction, increased presynaptic nigrostriatal dopamine transmission, and increased propensity for pathological nigrostriatal neuronal phasic firing. Thus, the maternal–fetal chronobiological hypothesis fully accounts for the fetal precursors of the major pathognomonic abnormalities in adults with schizophrenia. Bright light treatment for the second trimester mother around the winter solstice, by increasing maternal circadian amplitude, could possibly prevent the fetal hippocampal and striatal abnormalities and eliminate the season of birth risk factor for schizophrenia.Medical Hypotheses 10/2014; 83(6).

- "In recent years, considerable improvements have been established in psychosis epidemiology (McGrath 2007). Such an advance has enough impact to transform the commonly accepted knowledge on psychotic disorders, even in textbooks (McGrath 2005). "
ABSTRACT: To provide prevalence estimate, admission rates and related features of psychotic disorders in Turkey. Studies with data on prevalence and/or rates in outpatient or inpatient admissions after 1990 were included. Strings of ([schizo*OR psych*] AND Turkey) were used in PubMed and PsychINFO to detect relevant studies. Turkish Medical and Psychiatry indexes were screened with Turkish keywords. Abstract books of national congresses, national index of thesis, and references of the included papers were searched for additional data. Results were presented as prevalence per 1000 and median values of admission rates. A total of 56 studies were included, including 8 cross-sectional (4 core and 4 special group), 27 outpatient and 21 inpatient admission estimates or rates. The lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia in general population (pooled data, n: 6022) was 8.9 per 1000 (Standard error [SE]: 1.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.6-11.3). Psychosis prevalence is higher in subgroups including university students, prisoners and homeless people. Patients with a diagnosis of psychotic disorder constituted 7.6% and 26.9% of adult outpatient and inpatient psychiatry admissions. However, median rates vary depending on institutional, regional, temporal and residential features. Male gender was at higher risk in all kinds of estimates and rates for all age groups. Prevalence of schizophrenia in Turkey is higher than the formerly reported estimates in different countries. Higher prevalence may be a consequence of sample properties, environmental risk exposures, and study design. However more research is needed to further elaborate the relatively higher prevalence. Nevertheless, a major part of the psychiatry services are devoted to psychotic outpatients and inpatients.Turk psikiyatri dergisi = Turkish journal of psychiatry 01/2011; 22(1):40-52.

- "GENDER AND PSYCHOSIS – LITERATURE REVIEW It is surprising that given the clinical heterogeneity in psychotic disorders, the majority of data concerning gender exists for schizophrenia. One of the challenging statements suggests that schizophrenia equally affects both gender (lifetime risk) but other epidemiological data found prevalence male/female ratio from 1.4 (McGrath, 2007) to 2 (Myles-Worsley et al, 1999) across the world. Systematic review from Saha and colleagues (2005) did not confirm these alleged differences. "
ABSTRACT: Acute psychosis is diagnosed by clearly defined operational criteria embedded into international classification systems. Many studies have tried to determine the role of gender in psychosis but mainly in terms of epidemiology and course of illness, most often schizophrenia. There are however also important gender-specific differences in clinical symptoms of acute psychosis. No guidelines or treatment recommendations suggest gender as an important factor in the choice of antipsychotic treatment, which is true for all treatment modalities (antipsychotic, dose, duration). We will review shortly available literature and present some of our own research data on gender differences in clinical presentations of acute psychosis. When the diagnosis of an illness depends almost entirely on symptoms and their presentations as in the case of acute psychosis, important gender specific differences might challenge the diagnostic process as well as treatment choice and course of psychosis. Our as well as other data confirm that acute psychosis manifest itself differently in males and females. To define further the impact of observed differences we need further research into gender specific clinical and not just epidemiological variables.Psychiatria Danubina 06/2010; 22(2):338-42. · 0.65 Impact Factor

A new study published this week in the Journal Human Reproduction found that obese pregnant women have a much higher chance of miscarriage or suffering from their child dying before the first birthday. Not too surprisingly, pre-eclampsia was the most common reason for these obesity-related deaths. Gestational diabetes increased as well.
We know that any significant weight gain can lead to obstructive sleep apnea. Then why is it that pregnant women don’t develop sleep apnea? One possible reason why this may not happen as often is that progesterone increases significantly during pregnancy. Progesterone is an upper airway muscle stimulant, increasing tongue muscle tone significantly. This is one way it protects against apnea-promoting effects of weight gain.
However, if you gain too much weight, or if there are other stresses in your life that hormonally diminishes the protective effects of progesterone, then you’ll have more problems breathing at night, leading to or aggravating various pregnancy complications. High blood pressure (seen in pre-eclampsia), and diabetes are more likely in people with sleep apnea.
What’s just as important is what happens after delivery: Progesterone drops, but you’re left with all that weight. By definition, your sleep quality will drop significantly. This is one mechanism that can aggravate post-partum depression. Imagine how much worse it may be if you also lose your child.
If you’re a woman and are overweight and have sleep apnea, did you suffer any miscarriages or pregnancy complications in the past?

Chapter 1007 Modified Beasts and Gargoyles
Trying to break through the Crimson Clan’s defensive line with an army of Frost Giants alone was a little difficult.
As such, when the frontline descended into a ma.s.sive, chaotic battlefield that stretched for two kilometers, the Third Grade adepts of the Fabres Clan had no choice but to send in the second subordinate army onto the battlefield.
The modified beast army.
It was a terrifying crowd formed entirely of a particular fearsome beast from another plane. There were over seven hundred of these creatures.
Every single member of the army was a strange beast with a lithe figure, golden scales, and whose appearance resembled a sabertooth tiger. They had a foot-long-claw at the end of their limbs and leaped through the air as if they were flying. They appeared almost like ferocious and agile magical beasts.
However, every time they stomped against the ground, a tiny crater would be left on the spot. That indirectly revealed that they possess power that could match their agility!
It was a powerful army that excelled at offense, simultaneously possessing strength, agility, and offensive power. Moreover, judging by the golden scales that had been stimulated to grow on their bodies through some unique method, their defense would not be lacking either.
If the Fabres Clan had sent out the modified beast army from the very start, they would have had trouble collapsing the Crimson Clan’s defensive line, given their size. Now that the line of defense had been torn to shreds by the Frost Giants, the modified beast army had the perfect opportunity to storm forward and tear an even larger wound into the enemy.
The modified beasts that thundered onto the battlefield almost instantly suppressed the morale of the Crimson Clan that had just been lifted by the Brutalblood Army. The unusual animals swarmed onto the battlefield in packs, lunging, and using their sharp claws and teeth to pin the magical machines to the ground.
These beasts were also clearly a dominant species with incredible intelligence. They intentionally avoided the metal sh.e.l.ls of the machines and attacked their weaker joins and magic energy weapons. Their claws even tore through the rifles and cannons forged from magical alloy.
Without their energy weapons, the magical machines could only fight in the most primitive of ways. Naturally, they weren’t as powerful when doing so.
Even when a magical machine’s roaring firepower was unleashed upon the beasts, the metal bullets would be deflected by the golden scales that were as hard as steel. The magic energy beams would also bounce off harmlessly. Only exploding magical energy fireb.a.l.l.s would leave a bowl-sized burn mark on their bodies.
However, this amount of damage was not enough to take down these strange tigers, with their almost four-meter-large bodies. Quite the contrary, the intense pain would further stimulate the beasts, causing them to become more ferocious, more savage, and more fearless in their slaughter.
Many of the creatures broke through the line of magical machines and reached the formation of the goblin chariots at the mid-rear end of the army. They turned the place into a mess.
For a moment, the offensive firepower of the goblin chariots’ cannons stalled severely!
Just as the strange tigers went unchecked deep in the defensive lines of the Crimson Clan, dragon roars could be heard from Pinecone City in the distance. Several majestic dragons covered in green scales beat their wings and took to the skies, descending upon the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Most of the dragons that had appeared were the green dragon subordinates that Iritina had brought with her from Faen.
Though they were only at First or Second Grade, their dragon’s aura of might and their natural predatory instincts allowed them to reign superior over these modified beasts.
Indeed, it was undeniable that these alien tigers were not a native species that had naturally evolved in a planar world. Instead, they were modified beasts that the Fabres adepts had bred and cultivated using several different but powerful alien magical creatures.
Even if the adepts had employed various methods to give them powerful defense, offense, and regenerative powers, they could not change the fear of dragons that had been etched deep in their souls.
When the overwhelming dragon’s aura of the seven green dragons spread across the field, it wasn’t just the tigers that started faltering. Even the Frost Giants began to show restraint in their attacks, lacking any of their former courage or bravery.
The seven Third Grade adepts were all watching the battlefield on the floating wooden ship far behind the lines, either through their crystal b.a.l.l.s or through the use of Eagle Eye.
When the green dragonflight charged onto the battlefield and incited chaos among the foreign armies, two of the Third Grade adepts let out a disgruntled grunt. Clearly, the Frost Giant Army and the Modified Beast Army were managed by the two of them!
The subordinate armies they were responsible for cultivating for the clan might have decent offensive power, but they had ma.s.sive flaws as well. A severe light gleamed in the eyes of the two adepts. They were obviously thinking about more ways to further strengthen their soldiers once this war was over.
“Since the enemy has released the dragons, it’s about time we send out the Gargoyle Army!” The one in the lead was an elderly Third Grade in a gold-lined robe. He turned his face, and his gaze landed on a young female adept wearing a golden headband, “Triumph, it is up to you next!”
“Don’t worry, Lord Kagan!”
The young adept smiled sweetly before turning and walking to the edge of the ship. She touched her headband, and several mysterious mental waves transmitted through the air.
Five kilometers behind the battlefield, a group of elite adepts were secretly stationed in a hidden valley. The Second Grade adept leading the party immediately gave an order when he received the instructions from his superior. Black-armored guards ran through the valley and opened a series of large wooden boxes engraved with mysterious and profound magical runes.
There were many of these wooden boxes. As many as two to three hundred, in fact!
As the seals on the boxes were undone, the magic-sealing boxes exploded as green and gray creatures charged into the sky from within, screeching as they approached the battlefield.
The appearance of the strange creatures immediately drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield. In particular, the Crimson Clan’s forces quickly adjusted the eyeball machines hiding in the sky to look at the true forms of the new approaching enemies.
“They are gargoyles!”
“They must have prepared them for our dragons.”
The leaders of the Crimson Clan cursed in frustration, but there was nothing they could do.
Supposedly, gargoyles were not particularly powerful animated creations. There was no reason to be so concerned about them.
However, these gargoyles were different from the usual variety. That was obvious from the strange stone they seemed to be made out of, as well as the magical patterns that had been carved onto their hard stone bodies. Moreover, as animated magical creations, they had no souls or intelligence to speak of. They would not need to worry about the effect of the dragons’ aura of might.
Two hundred and seventy advanced First Grade gargoyles beat their heavy stone wings and flew across the battlefield. The two green gemstones embedded on their ugly, ape-like faces gleamed with a sinister light.
They headed straight for the green dragons upon appearance. Their large numbers and their two-meter-tall bodies practically allowed them to blot out the sun.
Faced with the approaching army of gargoyles, the seven green dragons reared their heads and roared. They once again took to the skies. After circling above the battlefield once, they folded their wings and dived down upon the gargoyles.
The gargoyles were made entirely out of a large and strange rock. The odd magical patterns carved on their surface made their bodies as tough and st.u.r.dy as golems of steel. However, while steel golems couldn’t fly, they could.
Though their speed in the air was extremely slow, and their maximum alt.i.tude reasonably low, they were still able to fly.
When the green dragons formed into an a.s.sault formation and dove downwards, the gargoyles continued flying slowly under the control of the adepts behind the scenes. It almost seemed like they had no intention of dodging the dragons’ attack at all.
The seven green dragons dived at high speed. When they reached within three hundred meters of the gargoyle army, they opened their mouths in unison and unleashed thick breaths of green smoke. Their bodies then tilted to the side and glided away from the rear of the gargoyle’s formations. While they did so, they made sure to sweep their heads over the gargoyles and smother most of them in green smoke.
It was the poison breath of the green dragons!
Unfortunately, all the adepts of the Crimson Clan started frowning when they saw this. Meanwhile, the Fabres adepts were chuckling coldly.
Were gargoyles afraid of poison? Of course not! What a joke that was!
These green dragons were uneducated peasants from a rural plane, after all. They had obviously never seen an animated construct like a gargoyle in their life. As such, they chose an utterly erroneous method of dealing with them.
On the battlefield, a price had to be paid for every mistake made!
Green and gray chains suddenly shot out of the thick poison mist.
The green dragons were caught entirely unaware due to the short distance. Three of the green dragons were immediately wrapped up in a web of chains.
The other four dragons managed to return to higher alt.i.tudes with a few beats of their wings, but the three dragons could not fly any higher, no matter how they tried. During this time, the horde of gargoyles had jumped onto them and instantly covered the three dragons.
The green dragons might have uncontested flying abilities, but even they could not remain in the air when their wings were wrapped in chains, and a swarm of stone weights grabbed onto their bodies. The three dragons cried out in horror as they crashed from the skies.
Dong. Dong. Dong.
Three distinct thuds could be heard as three ma.s.sive craters appeared on the plains below.
The sound of the dragons fighting with the gargoyles could be heard before the ma.s.sive pillar of dust had even dispersed.
Emerald Dragon Iritina flew into a rage when she saw this. She roared and prepared to charge onto the battlefield to save her subordinates, but Mary stopped her.
“Those three subordinates of yours are finished! Even you cannot save them now,” Mary said coldly, “If I were you, I would hurry to notify the remaining idiots to stop fighting with those gargoyles! Otherwise, the rest of them will probably die in the same place!”
Iritina was livid when she heard this. She beat her wings, fully intent on giving Mary a furious scolding.
However, in that one moment of delay, the other four dragons had dived down to the ground as well, simply because they saw that their companions were trapped.

With the concern about food safety, farmers markets popularity is increasing as people look for organic fruits and vegetables. From college campuses to city blocks, farmer’s markets are a staple of our culture.
Large Cities Going Green
In rural New York, farmers travel to Brooklyn farmers markets to sell their crops. With the demand for safer food, urban farming provides consumers with food from a trusted source while decreasing the amount of food affected by genetic enhancements. This growth of farmers markets leads to increases in urban farming.
In addition to supplying healthy organic food, in some areas, urban farming utilizes unused city resources, like abandoned buildings and lots; spaces are converted to urban farms, like the greenhouse on an abandoned dock in New York City. In addition to reclaiming abandoned property, many urban farms are located on city rooftops. This helps keep buildings cooler and saves energy by lowering the cost of air conditioning.
Environmental waste from transporting food by trucks leaves a carbon footprint on our environment. By offering food locally to farmers markets and grocery stores, urban framing saves money and lessens environmental waste.
The demand for urban farming provides jobs and education, with many farming programs opening in major cities. Children and adults learn about the benefits of growing local while working on a farm; giving them the knowledge of what it takes to start their own urban farm.
Even with the benefits of urban farming, there are concerns as well. Cities often contain more pollution than their outskirts which raises concerns the pollution will contaminate the city soil and its crops. While the crops help make the air cleaner, some cities are too polluted for harvesting healthy crops.
The New Trend is Not So New
Urban farming is becoming noticeably trendy in the United States; however it’s not a new concept. Beginning in Ancient Egypt, urban farming is centuries old.
Using available resources, Egyptians used excess waste as the plot for seeds. Following the Egyptian’s lead, Grange Farm in Brooklyn, New York makes use of resources found in unusual areas.
Grange Farm utilizes over two acres of rooftops, in Brooklyn and Queens, New York. Since opening in 2010, they’ve sold more than 40,000 vegetables to their. Their goal is to bring delicious vegetables to their community while building New York into a more sustainable place to live with positive effects to the environment.
Grange Farm sells locally to restaurants as well as operating farm stands at farmers markets throughout the boroughs. They also sell privately to CSA members but do not sell beyond the boroughs of New York City. Their business however transcends the island of Manhattan as they consult on urban farm set ups throughout the United States.
Grange also offers a non-profit program called City Growers. With learning on the farm and in the classroom, this program educates students about urban farming, health, and sustainability. The program’s goal is making future generations more environmentally conscious while learning ways to make a greener New York.
Other Urban Farming Operations
Zenger Farm, in Portland, Oregon, was established in 1913. Established in 1913, Zenger Farm in Portland, Oregon is a family tradition, passed from Ulrich Zenger to his son, Ulrich Zenger Jr. The farm has remained independently owned since it began.
While continuing to produce crops since Zenger Jr.’s death, the farm is also a non-profit for educational out reach. Along with keeping crops sold independently, they educate children on sustainable living. The basis of the educational program at Zenger comes from the idea that healthy food comes from healthy soil even in the city. This educational program teaches about food, farming, and wetland conservation and how these things make for a healthy, thriving, city environment.
Zenger Farm offers farm field trips where students can visit and learn about the farm and the importance in keeping a green community and a one-week summer camp where students actually work on the farm. Weekend workshops are also provided—in workshops adults are taught farm skills by working on the farm and learning about buying healthy organic food on a budget. Zenger takes pride in their community outreach and sharing the importance of their urban farm in improving the Portland community.
B&T Farm, based in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Hacienda Heights, began in the backyard of Brett Wyatt. After raids at the Buddhist monastery he was studying at, he began working at a farm in Thailand. It was there he met his wife Tanya and decided to continue their passion for growing in the United States where they specialize in oyster mushrooms and sell to customers at farmers markets on the weekends. Oyster mushrooms require a rigorous process of boiling the seeds to ensure no other mold grows around the mushrooms. The Wyatts also grow crops native to Thailand as well as crops more prominent in the United States, such as spinach and broccoli.
Detroit’s Hantz Farm boasts the largest Urban Farm in the United States. With Detroit’s economic downturn from the failing auto industry, thousands of houses stand empty. Once the properties were vacated, the land reverted back to the city. No revenue could be collected and these lots set vacant so many were sold.
Hantz Corporation began buying the land from the government to build into urban farms and community gardens. In doing this, Hantz is creating jobs, offering healthy food choices, and revitalizing the land while helping the city of Detroit.
In addition to their urban farms, Hantz is planting trees to help the environment and beautify the city. By helping the community through growth, Hantz is bringing the communities together while helping each other and getting involved in restoring the city.
Urban farms help improve a city’s environment, economy, land, and community. Many major cities have community farms where anyone can start a plot and plant what they want to grow. If you’re interested in getting involved, check with your city. No matter how dense the population, there may be a plot of land waiting for you. Urban farming allows anyone with interest to become involved and help improve their environment and live a sustainable lifestyle.

A Shocking Escape In a surprising twist, Danelo Cavalcante, a 5-foot-tall murderer, managed to escape from the Chester County Prison. This escape has left the police and the community in astonishment, as Cavalcante was serving a life sentence for a horrific crime.
The Crime that Led to Conviction Danelo Cavalcante, 34 years old, had been behind bars for committing a gruesome act that shook the community to its core. He had been convicted of first-degree murder and received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His crime involved the brutal murder of his former lover in 2021.
The Tragic Story Unfolds The calm and close-knit community of Chester County, Pennsylvania, witnessed a tragic tale of crime and vengeance that took an unexpected turn. Danelo Cavalcante’s escape on August 31st has raised serious questions about the security of the prison and the police’s ability to prevent such incidents.
Why Cavalcante Was Convicted Cavalcante’s conviction stemmed from a horrifying incident in which he fatally stabbed his former girlfriend, Deborah Brando, in front of her own children. Prior to the murder, he had made threats against Brando. The incident occurred in Royersford, Pennsylvania, and although Cavalcante initially fled the scene, he was later apprehended in Virginia. His conviction date was August 16, 2021.
The Shocking Nature of the Crime The murder of Deborah Brando garnered significant international attention due to its gruesome and shocking nature. The fact that a woman was killed in front of her own children left people questioning the state of society and the depths of brutality that some individuals can reach.
The Mysterious Prison Escape Details surrounding Cavalcante’s escape from Chester County Prison remain unclear. He had been incarcerated there for two years, but what prompted him to plan and execute an escape remains a mystery.
The Manhunt Begins The escape took place at approximately 8:50 a.m. on Thursday, triggering a massive manhunt. Local law enforcement authorities have labeled Cavalcante as “extremely dangerous.” Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan issued a stern warning to the public, urging caution as they intensively search for the escapee.
Cavalcante’s Appearance During Escape During his escape, Danelo Cavalcante was last spotted at 9:40 a.m. in Pocopson Township, walking along a nearby road. He was wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts, and white trainers. Authorities are actively seeking any information that may lead to his capture.
The Ongoing Investigation Chester County District Attorney Deb Ryan has emphasized the gravity of the situation and expressed astonishment at Cavalcante’s ability to elude law enforcement officials. As the search continues, citizens are urged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to help bring this fugitive to justice.
Community Concerns The escape of Danelo Cavalcante has raised concerns within the community about the security of the prison system and the safety of residents. It serves as a stark reminder of the need for robust security measures and effective law enforcement to ensure the safety of all citizens.
the escape of Danelo Cavalcante from prison has sent shockwaves through Chester County, Pennsylvania. As law enforcement agencies work tirelessly to track him down, the community remains on high alert, hoping for a swift resolution to this unsettling and mysterious escape.

The Pastel City
Written by: M. John Harrison
Reviewed by: Brad Williamson
Genre: Science-Fiction / Fantasy
With The Pastel City M. John Harrison created one of the most beautiful blends of fantasy and science-fiction ever envisioned. Brilliantly plotted, with prose full of surprises and surreal imagery, this small novel–almost a novella, mind you–packs more excitement, lore, character-, and world-building into 150 pages than some series fit into entire arcs.
Part of a collection of stories revolving around the city of Viriconium, The Pastel City both holds its own as a standalone tale and helps elevate the compilation above being a mere series of connected tales. It’s not immediately clear what it has been elevated to, but that’s the allure of this story and Harrison’s writing in general. But the reader can be assured that it has been elevated to something that you’ll remember forever and will stick in your thoughts for weeks and months and years to come. Harrison is the type of writer whom you compare all others to, and this book is no different in this respect.
Some may view the structure and themes as simplistic, but those people are wrong. The pace of the story charges at you relentlessly and if you’re not careful the book is done before you know it; in this case, the depth of the ideas and Harrison’s unique take on mixing science-fiction and fantasy are likely to fly over your head in favor of sheer enjoyment.
Make no mistake, though, as the novel is thrilling, but its ability to excite while also embedding complex introspections on the nature of civilization, duty, violence, power, responsibility, bravery, technology, while touching on just about every motif in between, is where it exceeds all expectations and why it is so great.
Almost 50 years old, this story feels fresh and new. Readers always ask for comparisons and these are usually difficult to make, but if forced to compare The Pastel City to anything I would say that despite the short page count it’s a delicate combination of Mervyn Peake, Samuel Delany, Iain M. Banks, James Enge, and Ken Liu, if you can believe it. Of course that’s not a perfect description, and at its heart the story is all Harrison, but for those unfamiliar with his writing, this should give some guidance.
Recommended to anyone reading this. Go buy the nearest Viriconium collection and read it this weekend. No matter your expectations, you won’t be disappointed.

Editors’ Note: Rachel Wimpee and Elizabeth Berkowitz, historians in the Research & Education division of the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC), introduce the RAC’s latest project, Re:source, a new digital storytelling platform focused on philanthropic history. We at HistPhil give Re:source a hearty welcome (its initial postings have been superb) and encourage our readers to check it out. Those who want to sign up to receive Re:source posts can do so here.
We’re doing things a little differently in the Research and Education program of the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC), the archival repository for some three dozen foundations and nonprofits, including the Hewlett, Ford, Luce, Rockefeller, and Russell Sage Foundations, the Social Science Research Council, and many other institutions. Over a year ago, under the leadership of our new director Barbara Shubinski, our team of historians, educators, and archivists began to brainstorm how we might engage new audiences in the history of philanthropy. Working with foundation and nonprofit archives, we observe and analyze the worldwide and everyday effects of philanthropic endeavor, and yet these stories remain largely unknown to many in the public. With a commitment to access – one of the tenets of archival ethics – the Rockefeller Archive Center hopes to communicate the stories from our vaults to foster transparency within the third sector. To do this, we have recently launched a new digital storytelling platform, RE:source. We are hoping to reach four target audiences: philanthropic practitioners, educators, scholars, and interested thought leaders.
Our team has long worked in public history – in the sense that we have been “doing history” outside of the academy. And we have been working in the digital space for nearly a decade, carrying out public history projects and working with philanthropic practitioners to help history inform current practice. With archival holdings from more than forty foundations and not-for-profit organizations, along with a commitment to transparency and access, we felt that the RAC would be uniquely positioned to shed light on the role organized philanthropy has played in shaping the world we live in.
The stories embedded within RAC collections touch upon nearly every aspect of global life in the modern era – from cultural and economic development to health care and innovation, to education, immigration, and more. Drawing on the work we do in these fields internally at the Archive Center and with our depositing organizations, we hoped that a digital platform would help us engage a broad public to foster dialogue, debate, and transparency.
To begin, we hired a WordPress web developer who shared the RAC’s open-source values. After a year of audience research, technological development, archival research, and lots of writing, we recently went live.
Our archival holdings document episodes that affect or influence our key audiences, and we view our job as illuminating that significance to all of them. Therein lies our biggest challenge: conveying archival content in ways that spark engagement and scholarly interest but are not themselves overly burdened by the tone and format of traditional scholarship.
To accomplish this, we produce historical content in a journalistic style and in several story formats, including timelines, photo essays, “in brief” pieces, as well as long-form analytical essays. We have decided to connect our research to relevant contemporary issues wherever possible, and we put as much thought into the tone, design, imagery, and story format as we do the archival research itself. Research streams include the civil rights and environmental movements, public health and medicine, agricultural development, international affairs, and arts and culture.
For example, amidst the current scandals and debates about the price of life-saving insulin, RE:source features a piece about John D. Rockefeller, Jr.’s 1923 donation that funded the distribution of newly discovered insulin and insulin administration education throughout North America. In another example, as tensions mount between the United States and China, RE:source tells the story of “ping pong diplomacy” and the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries in the early 1970s.
For RE:source to connect philanthropic history to broader audiences in the digital space, we needed to pay attention to more than our narrative framing. This is where our team’s shared expertise came into play. In the last two years, we have added two newly minted humanities PhDs (Barry Goldberg and Elizabeth Berkowitz) and a visual editor, Liesel Vink, to join Rachel Wimpee and our team as we develop this public history work. Furthermore, our archivist and educator Marissa Vassari has built a program working in a few local “lab school” classrooms to develop teaching modules of primary source-based curricula, which are all available on the site via open source licensing.
Departing from some of our previous projects, such as our Rockefeller Foundation history website, we chose not to design RE:source as a digital library of scanned archival documents. That work more appropriately lies with the RAC’s separate digital archival team, who is building the technological infrastructure to ingest, process, and make available digital archival records from our collections. For our part, we viewed our team’s skills in narrative, document analysis, and the storytelling craft as our value added. Because the archival materials form the basis of our work, we developed a robust footnoting function that integrates with the RAC’s online finding aids, for those readers that would like to delve into the archives. It is a core element of our institutional values that we lay a trail for others to re-examine the materials and documentation we write about.
In another departure from previous work, we have decided to use photographs and illustrations from outside repositories where necessary, enabling us to tell important stories that may not have robust visuals in the files. While vast, our photographic holdings do not necessarily cover all of the stories we hope to share, and yet one of our central conceptual and design decisions has been to treat visuals as a narrative element in themselves.
We have made these decisions in order to engage in conversations across a spectrum from professional to public. Through RE:source, we can collaborate and interact with other platforms, like HistPhil, that have related but different functions. For instance, although we do make editorial decisions about story ideas based on resonance with current events, we do not host ongoing, active discussions about current issues in the field as HistPhil so skillfully does. Rather, our stories and materials present episodes from the archives that contribute to discussions within the sector and beyond. Many people have not realized the impact philanthropy has had on everyday life – in ways big and small, for better or worse, in the US and globally. RE:source is one way to explore that impact.

I’ve done fashion prints and home decor prints for clients before and have always loved it. Recently I decided to do a whole new collection of watercolor prints specifically with fashion in mind or home decor. As I illustrate/design I’m thinking of dresses and cushions and wallpaper. The prints range from abstract and loose designs to more geometric and even some florals and conversationals made it into the mix. I often work in monochromatic colors, this time I tried using multiple colors and contrasting colors and even some black. I have done over 100 new prints and I’m still rolling. Here’s just a small sampling of them if you’d like to peek after the jump… [click to continue…]
I’ve been thinking about Helen Frankenthaler lately, an American abstract expressionist painter, if you’re not familiar. She’s most famous for Color Field painting characterized by large fields of flat, solid color spread across the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface. I am so taken with her colors and the gesture of her brush strokes and as you can see below, her hand strokes. Frankenthaler often painted onto unprimed canvas with oil paints diluted with turpentine allowing for the colors to soak directly into the canvas, creating a translucent effect resembling watercolor.
I love this quote that can be applied to the practice of creating art or simply living life:
Good morning, happy Monday.
I’m excited to share my friend Kate Neckel‘s book with you. I went the launch party at STORY last week and everyone was just raving about the book. You should get it stat. There have been so many articles lately about adult coloring books and prompted journals but Kate’s book may be the most playful and fun of the lot.
Kate’s book is like having an art coach with a comforting hand on your shoulder, tell you to “go for it and express yourself”. I have the feeling that people will be compelled to write, draw and let their feelings loose on the page and with a new twinkle in their eye and way of looking at life and the world around them.
I’ve known Kate for years now through our sites and coffee dates at Grumpy’s where she has recently illustrated totes and mugs. Kate has created drawings for books, magazines, bands, walls all around the world and more.
Client work has been piling up leaving me with little time for daily drawings and even posting stuff here. Still, I crave those little free moments to fool around. I really love working on salvaged paper. It feels somehow imbued with a history and story. Even if it’s a simple receipt, decrepit book page or packing slip…it’s a relic of someone’s life and someone’s time. I have a nice collection of papers to use and they somehow feel more special and valuable because of the meaning attached so I don’t use them all the time. Here are some recent drawings I’ve shared on Instagram. Follow me if you’d like to see more. I’ll try to post more frequently!

For many people, buying art for the home or office can be a daunting experience. Am I paying too much, is this worth the money, is this a copy of someone else’s work are just some of the questions we can ask ourselves. However, buying art doesn’t need to be stressful, so much so so we have put together a step by step guide on how to buy a piece perfect for your space.
1. The Intention Of Purchase
Buying art should be a fun experience and shouldn’t require you to have a Masters Degree in Art for you to purchase. The first and most important step is to know exactly what type of art you want, where you want to put it and the price you want to spend. Having all of this ready before you go to purchase makes up the intention of purchase. Don’t be intimidated by buying art, simply know what you want and be prepared.
2. Be Strict With Budget
Artwork is available for all price ranges and budgets so don’t overspend on an item that is out of your range. Be strict with your budget and you will be sure to find a beautiful piece you love. Regardless of your budget we recommend being strict with it.
3. Buy Art Work Online
Traditionally buying art was something completed face-to-face in art galleries or art shops, however there are now great website platforms for purchasing affordable art online. Artupia are the fastest growing platform for buyers and sellers of art online. Not only does buying online offer a great experience it also ensures everything is transparent and offers much more choice.
4. Buy Art you love
Whatever you buy be sure to love it, this piece should hopefully inspire you every time you see it at home or in the office. If you do love it and it fits your budget then buy it immediately, it can be difficult to find a similar piece. Buying art is often the same as purchasing a house, you know instantly whether it is going to fit.

I was born into a family of physicists. So I attended the physics and mathematics Lyceum but also have secondary art education.
Then I have graduated from the Moscow State University, Department of Physics. After that, my main job was programming and system analysis. But I still loved to draw and sometimes moonlighted as an Illustrator. Therefore I also have taken a course in the School of Art («Scream school» - British higher school of art&design in Moscow, "Visual effects” course). Then I have passed advanced courses as an animator in animationschool.ru and Dorogov's animation institute. Now I'm a 2d,3d animator and artist. The desire to tell various stories unites animators and children’s writers, so I became the author of the animation project and the book "The legend of Starfall hunters".

Hundreds of Congolese refugees leave Burundi facilities
BURUNDI, Sept. 7 (UNHCR) - Hundreds of Congolese refugees have returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) following the massacre of more than 150 Congolese in Burundi last month.
A team from the UN refugee agency that visited the Rugombo transit centre in Cibitoke province last week was told by the local governor and other officials that 500 Congolese had left the area in one day alone on Aug. 29. The team observed a significant drop in the centre's population.
The officials said "large numbers" of refugees were slipping back into the DRC, but UNHCR could not confirm the reports. It has no presence along the border for security reasons. Some of Rugombo's inhabitants have also sought accommodations with Burundians.
Rugombo was the biggest of three transit centres set up along the Burundi in the wake of a rebellion in June in the DRC's eastern province of South Kivu that prompted an influx of more than 20,000 Congolese refugees.
On Aug. 13, armed men attacked the Gatumba centre temporarily sheltering mainly Congolese of Tutsi origin, called Banyamulenge. At least 153 Congolese were killed in the centre located midway along the 30-km road between the Burundi capital of Bujumbura and the DRC town of Uvira. Seven other bodies were reported to have been found later in the bush outside the facility. Over 100 others were injured. On Monday, UNHCR airlifted seven of the injured for medical treatment in Nairobi.
The Burundi rebel group National Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for the massacre but preliminary findings of a UN investigation showed fighters from Rwanda and the DRC were involved. Rwandan Hutus blamed for the 1994 genocide of 800,000 Rwandans belonging to the Tutsi minority operate in the DRC.
Following last month's killings, UNHCR closed Gatumba and secured a long-pending request to move the Congolese in the transit centres to camps inland. Burundi and UNHCR officials are attempting to explain to the refugees the need to relocate them to secure facilities in Mwaro and Rutana provinces in central and south-western Burundi.
Despite the Aug. 13 incident, the voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees in Tanzania continues. The UN refugee agency plans to help repatriate 150,000 Burundian refugees from Tanzania this year. More than 77,000 had returned with UNHCR as of Aug. 31. The return movement, at a monthly rate of more than 10,000, and the reintegration of the Burundian returnees have gone on smoothly, UNHCR officials said.
In Rugombo, some refugees requested UNHCR's help in repatriating to the DRC. The team said UNHCR does not consider that conditions in their area of origin allows for repatriation that is sustainable and can take place in safety and dignity. The team also reminded the refugees that the Burundian government has now allocated land away from the insecure border area to build refugee camps.
The team also visited a second transit centre in Cibitoke Province, Kararuma, and found a very different situation there. Kararuma was busy, and very populated. Many of the refugees in Kararuma are Banyamulenge, and they expressed no wish to return to DRC until the situation in their home region improves. The refugees asked many questions about the possible relocation to the new camps.
The Burundian government has said that it will close Rubombo and Karurama and UNHCR will provide assistance in the new camps to meet the refugees' needs for water, food, schools and sanitation.

Sex and Aging
Do you think that you are too far along in years to be sexually active? According to a recent study performed by researchers at Oxford University, you’re not only wrong—you might actually be diminishing your brain function. The study of sex and aging, published in the Journals of Gerontology, examined adults over 50 and produced results that show the more sexually active participants among the group have better cognitive abilities than their non-sexually active peers. In the study, participants underwent two different tests. The first measured verbal fluency with activities such as naming as many animals as possible in 60 seconds and listing words that start with the letter F in the same amount of time. The second test, which measured visuospatial ability, involved drawing intricate designs based on a picture and drawing a clock face from memory. Participants who were most sexually active scored the highest on both tests.
Dr. Nele Demeyere, one of the co-authors of the sex and aging study, says that these results show a relationship between a healthy sex life and cognitive function. From the verbal frequency test, Demeyere concludes that positive health effects from an active sex life could derive from the levels of dopamine present in the brain. But what about those who are sexually inactive, not by choice but because of sexual dysfunction? When you realize that as many as 43% of women and 31% of men have experienced sexual dysfunction, it becomes apparent that many people might be at risk for declining mental function as they age. Luckily, low libido, one of the most common sexual disorders, is treatable if not curable.
The first step in dealing with low libido is recognizing that you have it. In women, some possible causes for diminished sex drive include:
- Anxiety and stress
- Changes in hormones from menopause and other milestones
In men, the following are possible causes for low libido:
- Anxiety and stress
- Poor sleep habits
- Low testosterone
- Erectile dysfunction
If you’ve been diagnosed with any of these conditions and feel your sex drive is no longer what it used to be, there is help. Classic Cell Therapy from ICBR targets the endocrine glands to restore sexual function, even to those who have lost hope. When you consider that a healthy sex life can not only increase happiness, but also could lead to better cognitive function for longer as you get older, the importance of this service becomes obvious. Don’t let low libido stop you from enjoying life during one of the best times of life. If you have a diminished sex drive and would like to learn more about how ICBR and Cell Therapy can help, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We have a few upcoming clinic dates in September, November, and December 2017 in Tijuana, Mexico, so call and book your spot before they fill up.


In a ruling (PDF) issued yesterday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling and concluded that reconfiguring a DirecTV access card in order to decrypt a satellite signal without paying for subscription does not constitute "assembly" or "modification" of satellite signal interception equipment.
Federal law prohibits production of satellite piracy devices and imposes strict penalties, which are spelled out in section 605(e)(4) of the Federal Communications Act. According to the Act, "Any person who manufactures, assembles, modifies, imports, exports, sells, or distributes any electronic, mechanical, or other device or equipment, knowing or having reason to know that the device or equipment is primarily of assistance in the unauthorized decryption of satellite cable programming," faces fines of up to $500,000 and up to five years in prison for each violation.
The law also separately establishes fines of up to $2,000 and six months in prison for interception, and fines up to $50,000 and two years in prison for intercepting satellite signals for private financial gain, as described in 605(a).
The Ninth Circuit judges determined that using a device called an "unlooper" to activate hacked DirecTV satellite decryption card doesn't fall under 605(e)(4) because it isn't assembly or modification within the context of the law. In the decision, the judges state that 605(e)(4) is intended to punish those produce and sell satellite piracy devices, not individuals who simply reactivate hacked cards for the purposes of interception.
"Reading section 605 as a whole makes clear that Congress intended to treat differently individuals who played different roles in the pirating system," the decision states. "In contrast to subsection (a)? targeting of individuals who use piracy devices to intercept satellite signals, subsection (e)(4) aims at bigger fish—the assemblers, manufacturers, and distributors of piracy devices."
This significance of this ruling stretches beyond the scope of satellite piracy. In a blog entry written today, Electronic Frontier staff attorney Jason Schultz (who argued the defendants' case before the court) explains how the judges' decision protects researchers. "Security researchers and computer scientists who assemble and modify these devices for purposes of educational research and innovation studies (but not to intercept TV illegally) will no longer have to worry about potential liability from vendors who don't like their results."
DirecTV's cold war with satellite hackers has been running for years. We have previously reported on past attempts by DirecTV to aggressively overreach the scope of law in an effort to crack down on signal piracy. The ruling issued yesterday by the Ninth Circuit will prevent signal pirates from facing excessive penalties for their crime by reaffirming the clear distinction established by Congress between commercially-motivated piracy enablement and mere signal piracy.

Here’s why The Crude Oil price Collapse May prove Transitory
The Crude Oil price suffered its biggest one-day drop since trading negative in 2020, but don’t get too bearish just yet.
Global energy prices slumped in Friday’s post-holiday trading session as fears over the new Ominicron Covid strain rattled risk markets. In scenes reminiscent of March last year, equity Inidices, commodities and cryptocurrencies crumbled under the weight of relentleess selling. The WTI Crude Oil price finished a staggering $10 (-13%) lower on the day, slicing through significant support levels in the process. But whilst the drop may be welcomed by strained consumers, in my opinion it may not last for long.
Whilst the sell-off was undoubtedly triggered by the virus, several factors combined to exaggerate the price action. The light trading volume, clearly has a part to play, as do momentum chasing algorithms. But the biggest factor was the leveraged longs gambling on higher Crude prices. Speculative length in the Crude markets was running close to record highs, and many of those longs positions will almost certainly have been wiped out on Friday, which is healthy for the price in my opinion. Furthermore, according to Goldman Sachs, the current Crude Oil price equates to a drop in demand of 4 million barrels per day for the next three months. Considering demand dropped by around 2 mbpd during last years pandemic, Friday’s move appears extreme.
WTI Price Analyis
The daily chart shows WTI Crude finished Friday beneath the 200-Day Moving Average and trend support. Whilst, the breakdown is negative and likely to attract selling, the Relative Strength Index shows the sell-off is overdone. Furthermore, the market is pricing in a ‘worst-case scenario’ at the moment, which may not prove true.
Because the price broke has down through technical support, it may attract selling in the near-term. However, despite the technical backdrop, the fundamentals still hold up for now. On that basis, selling into the weakness may be hazardous. Furthermore, the reduction in length leaves the price vulnerable to an upside shock.
A logical trigger for a melt-up, would be if WTI reclaims the 200-DMA at $69.72 and the trend line at $70.90. If that happens, the systematic sellers may reverse course and longs may repoen positions. Therefore, my preference would be to buy WTTI on a close above $70.90, placing a stop below the 200-DMA at $69.72.

Psalms 20:1-3 ESV
“May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion!
May he remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah”
“The day of trouble” may be one thing for one person, while it may be something else for another person. For we each have our own troubles. But we have some which we share in common, too, if we are followers of Jesus Christ. For if we are truly walking in obedience to our Lord, in holiness and in righteousness, and not in sin, and if we are daily dying to sin and denying self, and especially if we are sharing the truth of the gospel with others, we are going to have enemies. We are going to have opposition.
Now, the Scriptures do speak of the Lord watching over us and of him protecting us from evil, but this does not mean that we will not be hated and persecuted for righteousness’ sake. The Scriptures teach that we will. And this doesn’t mean that we won’t have troubles and trials and tribulations to test our faith. We will. The Bible says so. So, our Lord does not always deliver us physically out of our difficulties, but he does deliver us through them, and he does protect us, if we let him, from yielding to evil desires.
Now, our Lord does indeed send us help if we ask for it sincerely, and if we are following him with our lives. Many people pray for his help, but they ask with wrong motives and selfish motives. And they do not walk in obedience to him, and they do not bow the knee to him, but they see him more like a doting grandfather or a genie in the sky there to grant their every request. And some of them will then get angry with God when he doesn’t give them what they want, as though God somehow owes it to them, but he doesn’t.
But he will remember our offerings to him, but not the burnt sacrifices of the Old Covenant, but our lives given to him as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable (pleasing) to God (Romans 12:1-2). And he will remember our obedience, and our service to him, and our denying self and dying to sin daily – all of which can only happen because of God’s grace to us, because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, because of God’s love and him persuading us to believe in Jesus, and only as empowered by God, and not of our own doing (Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Luke 9:23-26; Titus 2:11-14).
And so he will send us help, and he will give us support so that we can do the works which he prepared in advance that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10). For he doesn’t give us a bunch of commands to follow and then not supply us with what we need in order to follow them. And he doesn’t give us assignments and then just expect us to figure it out for ourselves. If he assigns us something to do, he is going to equip us with what we need to do it, and so we should rely on him to give us what we need.
Psalms 20:6-8 ESV
“Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving might of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.”
Now the word “saves” can be in the context of our salvation from sin, or it can be in the context of saving us from some trouble or hardship or some consequence of something. For to “save” is to deliver, and it is to rescue. And sometimes we are saved from situations, and sometimes we are delivered through situations so that they do not negatively affect us and so that we do not get disheartened and discouraged. And our Lord does this by providing us with what we need to endure and to persevere.
Now, we are not to look to other humans to be our “saviors.” We are not to look to governments and pastors and people of prominence or of influence to rescue us from the ills of our society. And we are not to look to our soldiers to be our heroes, either. We, as followers of Christ, are to look to him alone to save us from what ails us, and to save us, as a people, from the evils of our world and of our nations, and from the evil people who are plotting against us both on the homefront, and from afar.
For the plans of man (flesh) will fail eventually. They will collapse and fall. And even if it appears as though they have been successful, and even if it appears that we have failed, in the eyes of the world, we can rest assured that those who stand against the Lord will not succeed in the end, and those who are standing with the Lord, in walks of obedience to him, and in walks of righteousness and holiness, will gain the victory. And we will be rewarded in the end with eternal life with God in his heavenly kingdom.
Stand by Me
By Ben E. King
The former work, a spiritual, “Stand by Me, Father,” off of which this song is partially based, was partially based off Psalms 46:2-3
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No, I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No, I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me

(Filed Under Financial and General Interest News). With consumers cutting back on discretionary spending, an unseasonably cool and rainy season, and no stimulus checks this May, retailers across all channels of distribution experienced lower-than-expected same-store sales this June. According to reports, the apparel market was particularly impacted by this trend.
Teen retailers were especially affected, which analysts and companies partially attributed to fewer teenagers getting jobs this summer than in recent years. Hot Topic, Inc. reported a comparable store sales drop of 7.9 percent, lowering its guidance for the second quarter ending August 1st to 7 to 9 cents from 4 to 6 cents per share. The Wet Seal dropped 11.1 percent, lower than the approximate 9.1 percent that analysts interviewed by Thomas Reuters had predicted. The ailing Abercrombie & Fitchwhich hasn't reported any sales growth since April 2008experienced a 32 percent drop. Analysts had predicted a decline of approximately 26.6 percent.
Luxury retailers were also highly affected, with Neiman Marcus down 23 percent. Saks beat out estimates of an 11.8 percent drop with a decline of 4.4 percent, and Nordstrom sales fell 10 percent, narrowly beating out estimates of an 11.1 percent drop. The parent company of Victoria's Secret, Limited Brands, dropped 7 percent.
Although discount retailers have fared better than others during the recession, they were not immune to this June's climate with the exception of TJX whose sales rose 4.4 percent, beating out estimates. The company's president and CEO, Carol Meyrowitz, attributed strong sales to their strategies of "buying close to need" and implementing "lean inventories," and the company rose its second quarter guidance to 56 to 59 cents from 48 cents per share. Same-store sales at JC Penney dropped 8.2 percent, while Target's fell 6.2 percent. Wal-Mart, which has consistently posted sales increases despite the recession, did not report June sales.

Reasons For Following The Fashion
Fashion is one of the important terms which are hardly growing in now a day. Fashion is nothing but is about the trend growing in the world. We cannot say that fashion is one of the separate topic, because fashion is related to the growth in and development in the world. We can’t ever say that the fashion is growing alone without the improvement in the technology and science. Due to the changes in the technology fashion is growing marvelous in today’s world. To say about fashion, in schools also we can see about the growth in the fashion. that is in most of the schools is a growing trend that the school principal will also used to conduct the meeting for their students, parents and their teachers. This is not for their welfare and other improvement. These meeting are done has a fashion to show their power to the other schools. This is also a growing fashion in the schools. And the other important thing to be noted here is that the schools, they also conduct many programs and functions, this is the growing fashion in the schools.
There is also a growing fashion in the colleges of using the mobile phones inside the campus. Some of the college associations have also allowed the students to use the mobile phones. There is a fashion of allowing the students to wear their own selection of dresses. That is they can also wear causal dresses codes, there is no completion for the students to wear formal dresses. The girls are wearing jeans, t-shirts, leggings, 3/4th pants inside the campus. And the boys are wearing jeans, t-shirts and also they can wear cargo shirts and pants as their own wishes. This is growing fashion among the students and so the students are willing to go to those colleges to enjoy their own codes of dresses.
Fashion In Driving
It is also a fashion to the teen age’s students to drive two wheelers. As they also even don’t have driving license they used to drive two wheelers. They have the guts more. They are highly interested in driving two wheelers in over speed, they did not thing about the future risk of driving the two wheelers in high speed. This is one of the important fashions among the teen age boys. They are also drinking alcoholics, as this is not good for their health. Those teen age boys are often arranging for a party with their friends and having fun with them. This is a bad fashion which is frequently followed by today’s teen ages. As we is not saying that fashion is not good, but to say that is being followed only in a limited manner. If the fashion crosses the extent it is not good for the people and also it is not good for the country. As it is one of the important dangerous factors growing in the countries where the fashion is growing a lot and giving the importance to the growing fashion.
