It is funny how the smallest things in life can sometimes be treacherous. You may notice a twinge in your big toenail after taking off your shoes and not think much of it—until your ingrown nail gets worse. Then the slightest bump against your swollen and painful skin can make you yelp. You also risk an infection that can spread beyond your toe and cause serious problems. Understanding this may convince you to seek help sooner rather than later for this “small” problem.
One reason for ingrown nails is heredity. You may have a nail shape that naturally curves down and in. Your foot structure and the way you walk (also inherited characteristics) can lead to extra pressure at the edges of the nail as well, causing them to dig into the surrounding skin.
The problem can happen simply because your shoes don’t fit correctly. Any shoe that is too narrow or tight at the front forces the nail into the skin. If you notice pain only after wearing certain shoes, it’s time to get rid of them and opt for a roomier pair. A nail injury or fungal infection can also lead to problems with ingrowing.
Even the way you trim your nails can make a difference. Cutting them too short and clipping off the corners into a rounded shape increases your risk. You should cut them straight across and leave them a little long—to the edge of your toe is best.
Home treatment for ingrown toenails may help and can be tried as long as you do not have diabetes, a circulation or nerve issue, or an infection. These complications make home care unwise, as infection can easily spread and lead to serious complications.
Otherwise, you can try a warm-water soak to help reduce inflammation. While the nail is soft, you could try lifting it slightly and putting a tiny bit of cotton under the edge to encourage it to grow straighter. You could help prevent infection with the use of an antibiotic cream on the affected skin. Choosing roomier shoes, wearing open toe styles, or even going without them around the house could also relieve pressure on your toe.
Please do not try to cut away the offending nail yourself! This type of “home surgery” can end up causing more problems and greatly increases the risk of infection.
Chronic problems with ingrown nails require medical treatment to take care of the problem for good. We may try trimming the nail, but removing the small part of it that keeps growing into the skin is usually the best and longest-lasting treatment. We can treat the root of the nail so that section does not grow out again.
To schedule an appointment to have your problem nail looked at and taken care of, call Far West Podiatric Medical Group in Hawthorne, CA at (310) 675-0900. We serve patients from the entire South Bay area, including Inglewood, El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Gardena, and Hermosa Beach, and you can request an appointment right here while you are online.

text: I had a frozen shoulder and could not turn my head to the left or lift my left shoulder for 5 months. I tried the doctor and other therapies and it did not help. I went to Kamilla for two sessions and my shoulder, my neck and my arm have not troubled me since! After the first session I was able to put my head to my left shoulder, I had not been able to do it in 5 months! I also had an injury in my back from a couple of years ago, at times I had to take painkillers. My back has never felt better. Also, I didn’t expect this when I went to Kamilla, but my knees stopped hurting me. They would ache very badly every couple of months since childhood. I used to have to get special heat therpay in hospital abroad every 3 years. I would always feel the weather change – whenever it got colder, the knees would ache even in bed. My knees have not troubled me since I had the 2 sessions with Kamilla. I am very impressed with this, I can’t believe it! I feel so great now, thank you.

The Nike React Element 55 Is Set to Release in "Mica Green"
Straying away from the two-tone colorways that have become synonymous with the React Element series, Nike is set to release a “Mica Green” women’s exclusive for the React Element 55.
The model’s woven material base is done in a washed green color, accented by grey on the tongue, eyestays and heel taping. Aside from the large midfoot Swooshes, branding on the shoe is kept minimal with monochrome Nike React tags. Finishing up the design of the colorway is a pure white take on Nike’s newly-developed, drilled React sole unit, complete with embedded rubber segments.
Stay tuned for the official release of the Nike React Element 55 “Mica Green,” which will be priced at $130 USD.
In case you missed it, the Nike Air Max 180 received a new “Ocean Bliss/Metallic Silver” makeover.
Nike Releases the React Element 55 in "Metallic Gold" & "Metallic Silver"
Alongside an ‘Anatomy of a Suit’ short film.
Crafted with old world techniques.

As we approach 2020, the Design Wo/ManiFesT.O. asks that we reflect on how design has supported (or not), the process of city-making over the last decades, and where it can lead in the next wave of social, demographic, and technological change.
Send us your vision(s) for the city, your ideas for a reimagined Toronto—from big concepts to neighbourhood-centred dreams. Contributions can take the form of a single word, poetry, short paragraph, illustrations, and other mediums of expression.

April where have you been hiding? I honestly feel like we have missed a season and jumped straight into Summer as at the moment everyone is having a heatwave in the UK. So many people are wearing flip flops, getting out their sunnies and going round in Summer clothes. We have totally forgotten that we are still in April! Although saying that I think we are having the last weekend of warm sunshine before we go back to rainy days. As I am writing this I have Sinatra on the record player and listening to Come fly with me, definitely wishing I was back at Grayshon Drive with my favourite people who are looking down on me as I play Frank. He brought so much joy to me when my grandparents were alive and I will forever be grateful for those memories of playing Grandad's vinyls and then sending video's to my Grandma so she could play them. Happy days, I miss being able to do this.
This month has been an interesting one if I do say so myself. It started off with the Easter weekend which despite how awful the weather was it was so lovely to have a four day weekend. Something that was looking forward as I haven't had a proper holiday since I started working at the doctors surgery since October when I went to Cyrprus. So I was loving not having to go in Friday and Monday.. you have to love those bank holiday weekends right? Speaking of holidays it's nearly a year since Jess and I went to Berlin for her 21st, cannot believe how quick that went! Only feels like yesterday when we going and had such a fab time. I would love to go back but definitely stay in a nicer area thats for sure! May 19th takes me to a special place; somewhere I have always wanted to go and I honestly have never been more excited.. pretty gutted that I won't be able to do a lot of Beatle related things but its okay I can go again and do that all over again. Have you guessed? It's Liverpool - the home of my favourite band, The Beatles! 3 days enjoying the city with two of my closest friends it will defintely be a trip to remember! I will be taking lots of photos, lots of Instagram stories and boomerangs. Now I have to get my summer wardrobe ready and decide what I am going to wear. I also need to get my summer body ready too.. which means lots and lots of times at the gym. I love the gym and I am so happy I decided to finally joined! I love going after work and the weekends, definitely my time to relax and actually enjoy doing exercise.

Along the North Sea shore, the largest coherent tidal flat area of the temperate world has evolved. Sediment supply from the sea has sufficiently balanced a slow sea-level rise in the last 8,000years to maintain a coastal configuration of a seaward sandy barrier, extensive tidal flats and episodically flooded marshes. The Wadden Sea is unique in that it consists of vast (4,700 km2) bare sand and mud flats, emerging twice daily at low tide. Oceanic waters dominate river influence, and dynamic sandy shoals and dune islands provide a partial shelter against waves and winds of a rough sea. In the course of a year, the Wadden Sea is visited by an unparalleled 10-12 million birds for foraging and resting on their East Atlantic flyway.
Food provision in the form of tidal flat fauna is 10-20 times higher than in adjacent deeper waters. When the tide is in, the flats serve as a rich nursery for shrimp and fish. The Wadden Sea constitutes a gigantic biological filter between land and sea. This filter is primarily composed (1) of extensive beds of molluscan suspension feeders which filter the local tidal volume about twice a month, (2) of sediment kept permeable by bioturbating lugworms, and (3) of marsh vegetation which functions as a filter during episodic storm surges when waters are loaded with re-suspended fine particles. An impressive number of about 10,000 species of plants, fungi and animals thrive in the Wadden Sea. After a long phase of overexploitation, protection measures have triggered spectacular recoveries in breeding birds and seals. Large-scale land claims have ceased and the Wadden Sea is today highly rated for its serene beauty. Global warming with an accelerating sea-level rise, however, may threaten the sandy barrier and the extent of the tidal flats.

Are you exhausted of coping with multiple MCA bills, due dates, and interest rates?
Do you feel it’s getting more and more difficult to find an affordable financing option? Are you tired of keeping track of all debts and their payments?
Repaying multiple loans is both cumbersome and expensive. MCA or ACH consolidation is merging all your debts into one single lower-interest loan. Consolidation can lower your monthly requirement into a payment you can afford. It can simplify your financial life and make it easier to plan your budget ahead of time. Consolidation can prove to be an ideal solution which not only makes you more capable of repaying debt but also improves your cash flow.
Why consolidate your MCA or ACH loans into one lower payment?
You can save money with a lower interest rate.
How do I consolidate MCA or ACH loans?
Once you have decided that consolidation is what you are looking for, the next question that crops up is ‘how to go about it’? You can consolidate your short term, multiple loans into one loan through an SBA loan or various alternative debt consolidation loans. The SBA doesn’t provide the loan but instead guarantees a certain percentage of the SBA lender’s losses should a small business default on their loan. Alternate debt consolidation is a good option to consider for businesses that could not meet the requirements of traditional bank financing or SBA funding. Alternative lenders tend to look at more than just a company’s credit score and debt-service-coverage-ratio to determine whether to fund a company. They also look at a company’s current cash flow and other metrics that banks and SBA lenders don’t look at.
Remember though that before you get down to consolidating your short-term multiple loans into one, ask you whether it’s worth it. Compare your current liabilities and terms of loans with what you will get from the new loan. Ascertain that refinancing is a sensible decision for your company.
You can check your eligibility for alternative funding at BusinessCash.com. We can help you explore the best possible options available.

What are some spicy sardine recipes that can be cooked in under 15 minutes?
Sardines are some of the most surprising dishes anyone can enjoy. It is not only easily accessible, but it is also very affordable—anyone can buy it!
In the country like the Philippines, people often store cans in their pantry for when the hunger or calamities strike. They could also save you from the so-called Petsa de Peligro, a time for Filipinos to hold on to their wallets as they wait for their paychecks.
Because of this, families have shown creativity in cooking Spanish sardine recipes and other variants such as spicy sardines. Moms are especially taking their time to create dishes that everyone in their family will love. But what happens if you don’t always have the time?
Spicy sardine sandwiches are some of the best dishes to enjoy when you’re looking for a quick bite to eat; it can be a good snack to enjoy during the day or when you’re having your midnight cravings.
For this dish, start off by heating the oil on a pan and then add the chilies and onions to fry for at least 3 minutes. Once you’re done, add the rest of the ingredients except for the cucumbers and bread. Mix them all together and fry them until the juice is dry! Remove the heat afterward and place in between slices of bread with cucumbers and serve while hot (literally and figuratively).
Pancit Canton is a sure favorite among Filipinos. The best thing about it is that you can prepare them in minutes, meaning your hunger won’t last that long!
For this dish, start off by boiling the noodles until they’re soft. Then, place the sardines in a pan and fry them for 2-3 minutes. Mix your noodles with the sauce. You can, then, add the sardines atop the dish or mix it all together with the noodles so you can have sardines in every bite.
This dish can be done in approximately 10 minutes.
Rice is a permanent side dish in this country. The elders are even saying that you won’t satisfy your hunger until you’ve had rice. Admittedly, cooking it will take some time. But, us Filipinos, always have some to spare for the next meal. To create this dish, you’re going to need some of it.
For this dish, start off by heating the pan with oil, then add the garlic, onion, and sardines; sauté them for 2-3 minutes. Then, once you get the aroma you want, add the rice in the pan and mix it around with the rest of the ingredients. Lastly, add the soy sauce.
All in all, you need 15 minutes to finish preparing the dish.
These dishes are quick, nutritious fixes with a kick! Recipes with Spanish sardines or spicy sardines will accompany you during times of hunger or during the crucial time before you receive your next salary!

With HAAKER, WEBB and championship leader Jonny WALKER (GB-KTM) separated by just seven points entering the sixth and final round of the season, the stage was set for a dramatic ending. Up for the challenge, WEBB set the fastest time in the Akrapovic SuperPole. But for race one it was outgoing champion Taddy BLAZUSIAK (PL-KTM) who recorded a near perfect victory with home favouriteAlfredo GOMEZ (S-KTM) in second. Behind the duo, HAAKER was the first of the championship contenders across the finish line in third with WEBB fourth, as WALKER – who was riding injured from the previous round in Czech Republic – limped to seventh.
In the second race, WEBB was back on the attack and after getting into the lead in the early stages, controlled the pace from the front, fending off a late charge by HAAKER, who was second. Another seventh place result from WALKER saw his title hopes slip further away. With just two points separating HAAKER and WEBB – in HAAKER’s favour – entering race three, it would be a winner-takes-all bid for championship glory. Initially, WEBB looked the champion elect as he led out front, while HAAKER faced a recovery bid from ninth on lap one.
On a mission, HAAKER drew level with WEBB and with one lap remaining, the duo gave it everything they had. With four overtakes, it was HAAKER’s final corner pass that saw him win the race and with it become the new SuperEnduro world champion. “I just went into overdrive in that final race, I had nothing left to give,” told HAAKER. “I can’t believe it. It’s been an amazing season of racing, both Jonny and Cody raced so hard all year, respect to those guys. Thanks to the team and Husqvarna for their faith in me.” With WEBB forced to settle for second overall in the final championship standings,WALKER completed the top three.
In the Junior class, favourite LETTENBICHLER claimed his first world title. The rider to beat all season,LETTENBICHLER barley put a foot wrong in Madrid, winning all three races to end his season as the Junior world champion. “This season has been amazing,” said LETTENBICHLER. “I knew I had a good lead in the series coming into Madrid but the nerves were still there. Winning the first race to win the title was fantastic. I couldn’t do this without the support from KTM and of course my father.” Making a rare appearance in SuperEnduro, Sherco’s Wade YOUNG (SA) placed as runner-up in Madrid with three second place results. TM’s Ben HERRERA (CHI) completed the top three.
In the final championship standings, Yamaha mounted Luis OLIVIERA (P) finished as runner-up toLettenbichler with Tim APOLLE (D-Husqvarna) completing the top three.

HOW do we explain why 5.5m French voters in the first round of the presidential elections voted for far-right parties that are xenophobic, anti-semitic, racist and ultra-nationalist? Sounding off about the wrongness of the vote will not help understand the reasons underlying their choice. Everybody in politics needs to begin an urgent, thorough and much-needed self-criticism.
The vote may have been a valuable wake-up call for France if it opens the eyes of party leaders and revives the debate on how to build a nation based on justice and solidarity. What vanished in April was the comforting thought that although everything was changing in the world outside, in French politics everything could stay the same; that two ageing parties, the Gaullists and the Socialists, could share power as they had done for 30 years.
People have sensed for some time that these two political forces are worn out. Their historic mission seems to have ended. Each in its own way gives the impression of an organisation going nowhere, with crumbling infrastructures, no organisation or programme, no ideology, no identity and no compass for the journey ahead.
Previous elections had already shown that neither party was capable of addressing the needs of millions of people who are genuinely frightened by the new realities of the post-industrial world that has emerged after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war. The disposable workers, the underclasses of the banlieues, the long-term unemployed, the excluded, the many people pushed into early retirement, the young people in precarious jobs, the families on the brink of poverty. For all these, the recent past has brought years of fear and anxiety, with many familiar landmarks apparently gone forever.
The Socialist party in particular, with almost no working-class people in its local organisations and several leaders in the supertax bracket, gives the impression that it lives on another planet, light years from the experiences of ordinary people. It has shown itself remarkably insensitive to what Daniel Mermet describes as “the sufferings of under-France”.
What about the right? Some conservative politicians see the far right as untouchable, but others have been happy to do electoral deals with it. The former liberal leader, Michel Poniatowski, recently wondered in public whether it was “any more immoral to accept the votes of communists, who murdered millions of people in Europe, than those of the National Front” (1). This perverse logic allowed Christian Democrat leaders of the Union pour la démocratie française (UDF) to accept National Front votes in 1998 to be elected to the presidency of five French regions.
While this plague infected the inner workings of France’s political institutions, was it reasonable to imagine that France would remain immune to the upsurge of far-right politics in its immediate neighbours (see Fascism isn’t what it used to be, by Jean-Yves Camus, in this issue)? Or likely that France would be the exception when, like other European countries, its social fabric has been violently rent in the name of modernity: by liberalism and globalisation, European unification, the decline in national sovereignty, the abandonment of the franc, the disappearance of national borders, the hegemony of the United States, multiculturalism, loss of identity and the crisis of the welfare state?
All this happened in the context of the end of the industrial era and technological transformations that led to widespread economic insecurity and terrible social malaise. In such a context, with competition raised to the status of a natural imperative, an increase in violence and criminality was inevitable. The abruptness and brutality of these changes meant that uncertainties are accumulating as horizons have been lost, the world seems less clear, and history appears to defy logic and understanding. Ordinary people have felt abandoned by governments of both right and left; unsurprisingly, since the press describes them as corrupt, as liars and cheats.
Many people feel lost and panicky; as Tocqueville put it,"since the past no longer illuminates the present, the human spirit walks in darkness". Old magicians have returned to conjure with this new obscurantism, this breeding-ground of fear, confusion and resentment. Their rhetoric is demagogic, authoritarian and racist; they talk of a return to the old values (work, family, motherland) and blame foreigners, Arabs and Jews for all the disorders, social problems and insecurities. Immigrants are an easy target, always available, because they symbolise social upheavals, and among the lowest-income earners they are seen as unwanted competition.
Although it is absurd, hateful and even criminal, the rhetoric of the National Front has long appealed to more than one in four French people according to the opinion polls (2). On 21 April it gained the electoral approval of millions (30% of the unemployed, 24% of workers, 20% of young people and 17% of employers).
The Republican awakening expressed in street demonstrations all over France translated into anti-Le Pen votes on 5 May. Neo-fascism will not be voted in during the parliamentary elections in June either. But once the moment of fear has passed, if the parties carry on as before, with privatisation, dismantling public services, creating pension funds and accepting sackings to keep shareholders happy, if they continue to deny people’s desires for a society that is fairer, more fraternal, more based on solidarity — then there is no guarantee that fascism, in alliance with the usual collaborators, will not win next time.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Media was out in full force Friday morning here in the heart of Silicon Valley ahead of Yahoo's annual shareholder meeting, even though it is expected to be a much more quiet affair than expected just two weeks ago.
CNBC and Fox Business News crews were already set up outside the Fairmont Hotel in downtown a couple of hours before the 10 a.m. kickoff of the event. And the local ABC affiliate also arrived well ahead of the meeting along with The Hollywood Reporter, national newspapers, bloggers and even several German print journalists from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Wirtschaftswoche and Handelsblatt.
Overall, a source said, 50 registered media outlets are present -- well more than at your average shareholder meetings in the media and tech sector. And with only one seat per outlet allowed in the meeting itself, that is a particularly strong showing.
"We've been very aggressive in our coverage," said Jim Goldman, CNBC's Silicon Valley bureau chief who regularly covers the tech giants.
"It's a very big story that affects thousands of shareholders."
With cameras not allowed inside the ballroom where the annual meeting takes place, CNBC is doing live shots from outside the hotel throughout the day.
And that even though the affair is expected to be less explosive than expected last week.
Dissident shareholder Carl Icahn had announced on Thursday that he wouldn't even make the trip here from New York.
That was the latest reprieve for Yang, who just a week before the annual meeting had cut a deal with Icahn that saw the former corporate raider withdraw his own slate of directors. The billionaire maverick agreed to take a board seat for himself and two for confidants of his on an expanded 11-member Yahoo board in return for ending his proxy fight.
Yahoo will add those two Icahn confidants -- out of a group of candidates that includes Hollywood and tech heavyweights, such as Mark Cuban and former AOL head Jon Miller -- and the billionaire himself later, making their presence today unnecessary.
"If Carl (Icahn) was here, there'd be twice as much media," one reporter said.
Still, the tech and business media in attendance sees the event as big enough. "It's big tech and big drama," Goldman said. "It's got all the pieces of the puzzle for us."

Ever wondered how does Google shows the traffic updates in your mobile phone? Learn about the cool trick of how Google Maps track traffic on roads.
Whenever I plan to go out, I often check Google Maps to get the directions from my current location to the destination. Google Maps is an excellent and reliable tool for travelers and drivers. You can easily download Google Maps in your mobile phone and use it to get Google Maps traffic updates. One of the most useful features of this app is that they show the amount of traffic present on various routes in a city. Google shows you if the traffic is moving along well or there are traffic jams at certain roads. This information is helpful for drivers as they can avoid roads where there is traffic congestion. The other day, I was traveling with a friend of mine. I opened Google Maps and checked the traffic situation on the road that lay ahead. On seeing this my friend asked me how does Google Maps know about the traffic conditions? Do they use satellite imagery for this feature?
I am sure, like my friend, many of you have also asked yourself this question. And many of you must have credited satellite imagery for this cool feature. But this assumption is wrong! I know that Google is a massive company, but they don’t have their helicopters hovering everywhere in the world to collect real-time traffic data! So, then how does Google show traffic updates? Let’s explore the answer to this question!
In the short, the answer is that Google uses your Android smartphone to collect information about traffic status. Android, as know you, is a Google product. They don’t look at how many cars are traveling on a road —instead, what Google gets to know is how many Android phones are going along a particular path.
Have you ever wondered how Google knows about the traffic status on roads?
As you travel on a road, your Android smartphone keeps on transmitting its location back to Google. From this information, Google calculates the speed at which you’re traveling and from the speed of all the Android phones on that road, Google figures out whether the traffic is smooth or snarling.
But what if there is not a even single Android user is traveling on a road? Well, in that case Google shows that road with grey or white color; indicating that it does not know the traffic status of that stretch. However, given the popularity of Android-based smartphones, it is often possible for Google to show correct real-time traffic situation in big cities around the world.
By the way, non-Android devices that use Google Maps app can also transmit location data to Google.
How is the Traffic Data Shown in Google Maps?
So, now we know that Google crowd-source the traffic data for its Maps tool. Dave Barth explained the entire process in an official blog post. Dave says that Google does not get to know the identity of the vehicle in which the phone is traveling nor do they get any information about the people inside the vehicle. To further protect the privacy, Google deletes a few minutes of data from the start and end of a trip. As a result, Google does not know the origin or destination of your trip.
Google Maps app for mobile devices.
Google also has algorithms that can exclude anomalies like a postman stopping more often on a route to deliver letters. These algorithms will find out and exclude the such cases. Thus a frequently stopping postman will not trigger a traffic congestion alarm in Google Maps.
Once Google gets enough data to make an opinion about the traffic situation on a road, it begins painting. If the traffic is going smooth on a road, Google Maps paint the road with green color. Slow traffic is marked with yellow color and traffic jams are indicated by red color. Severe traffic jams are indicated by deep red (maroon) color.
When Google does not have enough data about traffic conditions on a road, it offers you to show the typical traffic on that location at that particular time. This tells us that Google saves the traffic conditions on roads in its database and use this information as a learning tool.
Yes, there is a privacy concern involved in this approach of data gathering. But then, in today’s highly digitized world do we really think that the Big Brother doesn’t know anything about us?! Google knows a lot about us. We can only trust Google’s explanation that they keep and use only anonymous data to indicate traffic.
Nevertheless, Google has provided an option to opt-out and not share your location related data with Google. On this the company says “Once you disable or opt out of My Location, Maps will not continue to send radio information back to Google servers to determine your handset’s approximate location”.
So, this is the secret behind the mind-boggling traffic update feature of the Google Maps. I hope you like this article. Please feel free to share your viewpoint on this topic. Have you opted-out of sharing your location related data? Do let us know in the comments section. Thank you for using TechWelkin!
I have a Galaxy 7, with a Maps Version 10.13.3.
I use Maps in New York City.
Sometimes, Maps provide traffic information; sometimes, does not–and as I am driving, cannot go and search for the options sequence to show traffic. Which by the way, is difficult to find.
Would anybody know a page to access Help for the often updating current-Google-Maps-Version, specifically to show Traffic?
This is good info, liked it.
2.How Google get to know about any accident on the road or incident?
Can google map tell you the concentration (number of cell Phones)?
Is there a way to work backward (when or limit of Andriod users before it paint)?
Google Maps will also display when a collision has been reported via the Waze app, so there’s some interconnectivity between the two in that instance. In addition, road construction and closures are also displayed, so they must be probing municipal services for that information.
Yes, Tim, Google must be collaborating with other services to gather information. Google is amazing!

Wow, time does fly fast!
THE FASHION INDUSTRY LAW BLOG IS CELEBRATING TWO YEARS!
On May 19, 2014, our Fashion Practice launched The Fashion Industry Law Blog. Two years and 72 posts later, we are widely read and re-posted. We hope you have signed up to receive our posts in your inbox automatically as they are published* or have visited our site from time-to-time.
During the last two years, we have published posts related to copyrights and trademarks, licensing, real estate, labor and employment and notable cases of interest to the fashion and luxury goods communities. We have also published posts classified as “general musings” — light commentary about the goings-on in fashion that may be hip, trendy or controversial.
We will continue to share timely posts targeted to designers, senior executives, entrepreneurs, in-house counsel, fashionistas and fashionistos.
We would be nothing without our readership, so, “Thank you” from all of us who have shared our thinking with you in these past two busy and exciting years for the fashion industry.
Please consider sharing The Fashion Industry Law Blog with those in the industry and others who may enjoy it.

During the course of negotiating a license agreement, a licensee may propose certain changes that may appear logical and reasonable. However, a licensor should be on the lookout for seemingly innocuous proposals that could impede its ability to operate its business.
How much time does a licensee actually need, particularly considering that, for a seasonal business with a typical December 31 contract year/term end, sell-off actually could be starting as early as September?
While selling off prior seasons’ inventory should not seriously compete with a new licensee’s business and while closeout accounts may be the only meaningful customers for closeouts, it cannot be good for the licensor’s brand or the new licensee’s business if the former licensee’s products, whether or not they include “basics,” are being offered to the new licensee’s regular customers at the same time that the new licensee’s business is being launched.
“I would like an option to renew the license agreement.” While renewal options are quite common, and sometimes may even be offered by a licensor, accepting some common licensee complaints can have unintended consequences.
“The conditions for renewal are not objective.” As noted in an earlier post, a licensee will want only objective standards when it comes to the conditions it will have to satisfy in order to exercise its option. However, is it unreasonable for a licensor to be able stop doing business with a licensee that, while not technically having defaulted in its obligations, has been a terrible partner and exceedingly difficult to deal with?
“I would like a right of first refusal for additional products or countries or trademarks.” A right of first refusal, in effect, requires the licensor to make a deal with a prospective third party licensee and then offer the current licensee the right to match it. There is not much chance that a prospective licensee will be willing to devote the time and expense of negotiating a license agreement in these circumstances. If pressed, giving the existing licensee a first right to try to make a deal with the licensor – a right of first negotiation – is a better, and reasonable, alternative.
“I want more countries in my licensed territory.” If a prospective licensee can demonstrate the wherewithal to properly exploit the proposed additional countries, the inclusion of the additional countries is often just a question of business judgment. (There may, however, be legal considerations to be addressed in the license agreement depending on the status of the licensor’s trademark rights in the additional countries.) If additional countries are included, though, a licensor should retain the right to take back countries that the licensee does not exploit adequately; and any such reversion right must be carefully drafted, particularly to take into account that getting back a few countries in a region may not be of any real value to the licensor. (What potential new licensee is going to be interested in a license for a few scattered Asian or European countries if the existing licensee retains the major markets in the region?) A possible compromise here might allow the licensee to keep the entire region if it is appropriately exploiting the major markets in the region, but to lose the entire region if it is not.

Why does Helaman (the book, or the person) focus so little on Priesthood or regulating the affairs of the church, etc.?
What about the timing of Amalickiah’s revolt? Did he wait until Alma was dead (the first non-king ruler) to make his move? And what is the connection between wanting to be a king and gathering against Helaman and his brethren? They weren’t the government rulers at the time, so why are they gathering against Helaman and not the chief judge?
What about the baptism and church of Mosiah/Alma is so different from that in 3rd Nephi/Moroni?
What does 4th Ne show us about the new order established by Christ?
Is there a connection between the chapters of Malachi quoted and the resulting 4th Nephi life?
Are the disciples in and after 3rd Nephi ever called priests?
What does Nephi think about priesthood itself?
Was Nephi a high priest and Jacob and Joseph were priests under him, like Alma and Alma the younger had priests under them? Or was Nephi the king without any spiritual, consecrated office?
Abinadi seems to be a prophet but not a priest. Was Nephi the same?
Is there really a change at all these steps: Nephi, Alma, Christ, Joseph Smith?
Is Alma in borrowing the language of the “holy order” from the small plates? Is he rethinking his own priesthood in Alma 5-15 and that’s why we get the sermon in chapter 13?
How is it possible to create a Zion city with so much internal political problems?
But, as Joe pointed out, all of those problems seem to stem from priesthood.
Alma’s smart. Very smart. I don’t think we should, as is sometimes done, take Alma’s argument as somehow proof we can use to convince someone. It is a specific argument with a specific person. I think what he does is to un-do what Korihor has said, so that the possibility of faith still remains.
So, it’s cool when I realize that something we often teach without the scriptures is actually talked about in the scriptures, and with greater force and clarity than our normal way of teaching it.
The more I thought about what I had said, the more I realized that this was actually not a bad usage of Alma’s words and his talk to his son in general. Corianton had “risked to commit sin.” And specifically, he had risked this, “upon those points of doctrine” (Alma 41:10). It begins to sound like Corianton is sinning by justifying his actions with a particular way of looking at some points of doctrine. He is rationalizing, just like we do. I love this line here, from Alma 42:1 “for ye do try to suppose that it is injustice that the sinner should be consigned to a state of misery.” Ye do try to suppose. In other words, Corianton didn’t really believe it, but he tried to believe that the sinner shouldn’t be punished. He lied to himself just enough to get by.
What he was lying to himself about, from looking at 41 and 42, is that because of restoration, there wasn’t any need for repentance, really. If Christ suffered for everyone and everyone was brought back to God, then how could God punish anyone? Thus Alma clarifies that “the word restoration more fully condemneth the sinner, and justifieth him not at all” (Alma 41:15).
Anyway, the point for this YW lesson is that here we have Alma talking about rationalization and self-justification, something we’ll likely talk about during this YW lesson without ever thinking to go to the scriptures to talk about it. I love finding passages that are thinking something I want to think through. The work’s been half done for me and from a very interesting perspective! And it’s scripture, which is a fantastic common ground.
” Yea, she did steal away the hearts of many; but this was no excuse for thee, my son. Thou shouldst have tended to the ministry wherewith thou wast entrusted” (Alma 39:4). This was no excuse, says Alma. Whether or not Mormon culture agrees with their point, the Book of Mormon does. And I wonder how many other times this might happen.
Alma 12-13 lay out a very simple (too simple?) view of the story of Adam and Eve and the connection with us.
2. Alma relates that Adam and Eve broke first commandments, therefore must die.
3. Didn’t eat tree of life in order to have a space of time to repent. But they are outside the garden.
6. This comes up in chapter 13, where Alma says that high priests were on the “same standing” as others, but they chose good. In other words, they lived up to the commandment of the angel. And now their job is to teach others, just as the angels did at first. Now high priests will teach as well.

Probably the best and easiest way to learn about a region is to take a walk. The Summer 2018 issue of Brookline Adult & Community Education offers a variety of walking tours in Brookline and surrounding areas to match any interest. Learn about Brookline’s secret stairways and paths by walking the stairs and terraces from Summit Path to Beaconsfield Path, ending at the MBTA Beaconsfield station. Be forewarned, this is a long, strenuous walk that covers several miles of mostly stairs. Other Brookline walks include a walking tour of Muddy River from Brookline Village to the Charles River in Back Bay and a more leisurely tour of the architecture and history of Chestnut Hill.
A new tour, “Bostonians Behaving Badly: Riots in Boston,” walks the downtown streets and reconsiders times when “Bostonians used their angry voices to demonstrate their discontent,” including the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party, police riots, anti-catholic riots, and antibusing riots.
Read about these and other walking tours of Brookline and surrounding areas in the Summer issues of “Brookline”. For more information, visit www.brooklineadulted.org and type walk in the search box or call 617-720-2700.

Stop everything you’re doing this instant. This is very important to read. Why? Because the Buick Cascada convertible is . According to , General Motor’s premium Buick division has confirmed production of the Cascada will end this summer. American Buick dealerships have been instructed to place their final orders this month.
We figured the Cascada’s time was limited for a few months now for a number of reasons, the main one being that it’s designed and built by Opel, the . Built in Poland, the Cascada is also outdated, having initially launched as the Opel Cascada in 2013. It debuted in the US as a rebadged Buick in early 2015.
Another factor not working in the Cascada’s favor in the US nor Europe is that it’s a convertible, a segment with decreasing sales in both markets. The Cascada was not even a performance car, like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but rather a front-wheel-drive two-door built on the same platform as the previous generation Chevrolet Cruze. Ever since the sale of Opel/Vauxhall to PSA, we knew the Cascada’s time was limited.
PSA previously went on record saying it had no immediate plans to replace the convertible once it decided to end production. But the Cascada, as Buick pointed out, did its job in the US market. It was never expected to become a smashing sales success, but rather more of an image builder for the brand. All told, 17,000 Cascadas have been sold in the US so far since it went on sale for the 2016 model year. Last year, only 4,136 units were sold.
It’s also important to note Buick’s long history with convertibles, and the Cascada was the brand’s first drop-top since 1991. Now that the Cascada is officially done and the upcoming demise of the LaCrosse large sedan, the sole remaining traditional car in Buick’s lineup will soon be the Regal fastback sedan and wagon.

GARETH BALE wants to sign a new contract with Real Madrid despite talk of a £120m move to Manchester United.
The Welsh wizard has firmly established himself as a regular in Carlo Ancelotti's starting XI after joining from Tottenham last year for a world record £86m fee.
United are desperate to send their new 'Galactico' era into overdrive with a mega-money move for Bale but the Daily Mail suggests the 25-year-old wants to extend his contract with the Spanish side to put the rumours to bed.
The Red Devils are thought to be willing to offer the Welshman £350,000-a-week to join them but he wants to stay in Spain.
Despite the former Tottenham star's future being questioned recently as Isco impressed during his enforced absence through injury, the Champions League holders are reportedly not willing to sell him at any price.
It emerged today that Real could demand David De Gea, who is seen as the idea replacement for veteran keeper Iker Casillas, in any potential deal involving Bale.

Ahadith 2410 – 2412 (below) are repeats. See linked text for related posts.
The story of Ka’b’s (radiallaahu `anhu) repentance is most beautiful. He narrated it in his own words to his son who then narrated it further, and it’s recorded in Bukhari and Muslim. We’ll come to the story after this point: it is mustahabb (liked) to give charity after committing a sin (and repenting).
Al-Tirmidhi (614); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Sunan al-Tirmidhi.
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam would conceal his intention to embark upon a military expedition by making reference to other campaigns, until the time for that expedition arrived.
“Any individual who wished to remain absent would assume that his absence would pass unnoticed, unless it was revealed by Allah by means of Divine Revelation. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam undertook that expedition during a season wherein the fruit had ripened and the shade had become pleasant.
“The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and the Muslims equipped themselves with the necessary provisions. I too departed in order to prepare myself, however I returned without accomplishing anything. I would say to myself: I am able to prepare myself. Hence, I continued to postpone my preparations. However the people occupied themselves in earnest with the journey, until the day arrived wherein the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and the Muslims proceeded to depart. However I had not completed any part of my preparations. I said to myself: I shall prepare myself in one or two days after his departure, and then I will join them.
“The morning after their departure, I set out in order to equip myself. However, I returned without completing anything. The following morning, I set out again, nevertheless, but I returned without accomplishing anything. This continued until they hastened towards the battle, and the campaign had passed by. Nevertheless, I intended to depart and reach them, would that I had done so! However, I was not destined to do that.
“After the departure of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam I would enter amongst the people and it would become a cause of sadness for me. For I did not see except the one suspected of being a hypocrite, or the weak and infirm whom Allah had excused from participation.
“When I learned that he had turned in order to return, I was consumed by distress, and started therefore to invent lies. I started to question myself: With what can I avoid his anger tomorrow? I sought assistance from every individual of sound mind and judgment from amongst my family.
“When it was mentioned that the Messenger of Allah’s sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam arrival was imminent, the false excuses vanished from my mind. I recognized that I could not liberate myself from this predicament by means of falsehood. I therefore resolved to speak the truth.
“The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam replied: ‘In relation to this man – he has spoken the truth. Therefore, stand until Allah pronounces judgment in this matter.’ I therefore stood, a group of men from the tribe of Bani Salimah became disorderly and started following me. They addressed me: ‘By Allah – we have not known you to commit a misdeed. Verily you erred in not excusing yourself before the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam in a similar manner to the other absentees who excused themselves. The Messenger of Allah’s sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam action of seeking forgiveness for your misdeed would have been sufficient for you.’ They continued to reprimand me until I desired to return to the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and fabricate a lie against myself (contradict my story).
“By their statement, they had made reference to two virtuous men who had participated in the Battle of Badr, and were examples to be followed. After they had mentioned these two men I remained steadfast upon my original statement.
“Thereafter, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam prohibited the Muslims from speaking to us – namely the three individuals from amongst us who had neglected to accompany him.
“As a consequence the people avoided us and altered their conduct towards us, until the land wherein I lived appeared foreign, not one which I was familiar with. We remained in that state for a period of fifty nights. In relation to my companions – they surrendered themselves to their houses and remained seated therein, weeping. However, I was the youngest and most forbearing of the three, I would therefore exit the house in order to perform the prayer with the other Muslims.
“Upon reading the letter I said to myself: This too is a trial placed before me. I therefore placed the letter in the oven and created a fire by burning it therein.
“The wife of Hilal ibn Umayyah came to the Apostle of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, verily Hilal bin Umayyah is an elderly man who is incapable of taking care of himself. Furthermore, he is not in possession of a servant, would you therefore object if I was to serve him?’ He responded: ‘No, but he must not approach you.’ She said: ‘By Allah, he has no desire for any matter. By Allah, he has not ceased to weep from the day this matter started until this time now.’ Some of my family members questioned me: ‘Why don’t you seek permission from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam concerning your wife, as he has granted permission for the wife of Hilal bin Umayyah to serve him?’ I responded: ‘By Allah, I shall not seek permission from the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam concerning her. I am not aware of what the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam would say if I sought his permission in relation to her whilst I am still a young man.’ I remained in that state for an additional ten nights, until fifty nights had been completed from the point that he had prohibited the people from speaking to us.
“Suddenly I heard a clear voice emanating from the direction of Mount Safa. Somebody announced with his loudest voice: ‘O Ka’ab bin Malik, I confer upon you glad tidings!’ I prostrated myself upon the ground. I realized that relief from this tribulation had arrived and that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam had indicated that Allah had granted us penitence. After the Fajr prayer, the people thereupon proceeded forth to congratulate us, and bearers of glad tidings departed to my two companions. A horseman raced towards me in order to congratulate me and a messenger from the tribe of Aslam raced towards the mountain and scaled it in order to make the announcement. I heard his voice before that of the horseman. When the individual whose voice I had heard approached me to convey the glad tidings, I removed my garments and clothed him in them. By Allah, on that day I was not in possession of any other garments, I therefore borrowed two items, clothed myself and proceeded towards the Messenger of Allahsallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. People started receiving me in groups, congratulating me upon the acceptance of my penitence. They said: ‘We congratulate you upon Allah’s acceptance of your repentance.’ When I entered the Mosque, the Messenger of Allahsallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was sitting, surrounded by people. Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullah hastened towards me. He shook my hand, and congratulated me. By Allah, no one from amongst the Muhajirin (Emigrants) stood in order to greet me save him, and I shall never forget Talhah’s action in doing so.

The Clemens Fine Arts Center will kick off their Backstage Pass series on Saturday, September 8th, at 7:30 pm.
The Clemens Fine Arts Center at Western Kentucky Community and Technical College will be hosting a Backstage Pass series this fall/winter featuring singer-songwriters of the surrounding area. The first concert of the series will be taking place this weekend, and featured performers Shaina Goodman and Lane Davis visited Sounds Good to discuss their music and the event.
Shaina Goodman and Lane Davis talk to Tracy Ross about their upcoming performance as part of the Backstage Pass Series.
The Clemens Fine Arts Center aims to highlight the singer-songwriters of the area with their upcoming Backstage Pass series. The concerts will be set up in a round robin, meaning all musicians will remain on stage throughout the performance and take turns singing songs. There will also be live collaborations between the musicians as they harmonize or play on one another's songs. The first Backstage Pass series will feature musicians Shaina Goodman, Lane Davis, and Jenny Johnson.
Shaina Goodman is a WKMS veteran, having won the WKMS Battle of the Bands in 2016 and performed on Live Lunch. Goodman is the front woman of The Savage Radley, a delta rock band based out of Murray, Kentucky. She recently returned from a Stetson Kennedy Songwriter Residency in Beluthahatchee, Florida. One of the songs she wrote while on that retreat is featured during the interview.
Lane Davis is a western Kentucky native, but currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Davis recently released an album, Open Hearts, Open Homes, which raised funds to help families in the process of adoption. She combines elements of country and folk in her writing, with detailed story-telling and relatable narratives. An example of Davis' storytelling craft is demonstrated in the interview.
Jenny Johnson, although not featured in this segment, is the third performer of the Backstage Pass concert this Saturday. Creating a unique sound with flavors of bluegrass, soul, and folk, the southern Illinois musician aims to write about the neighborhood heroes whose stories can often be overlooked or unheard.
The Backstage Pass Series concert will take place on Saturday, September 8th, at 7:30 p.m. in the Clemens Fine Arts Center. Tickets are available online for $8 and at the box office door the night of the show for $10. You can also order tickets at the advance price over the phone by calling the box office at 270-534-3212 prior to the 8th. Seating will be general admission.

The festival was filled with classic cars, classic South Philly eats and opportunities for neighbors to get out and meet each other on a warm summer day.
This past Sunday, residents from South Philly and beyond attended the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District’s 13th annual East Passyunk Car Show & Street Festival, a festival filled with classic cars, South Philly eats and opportunities for neighbors to get out and meet each other on a warm summer day.
Capewell brought his dad to the show, and his dad brought his 1987 Foxbody Ford Mustang.

East Passyunk residents Brian and Jenna Ercolani also made it out to the festival.
Both Brian and Jenna have dads who are gearheads, so coming to car shows was nothing new for them.

Carolyn Zinni, who owns a bridal salon also called Carolyn Zinni, said the car show and festival have been great for business.

Representatives from Grassroots Advocacy for South Philadelphia were also present at the festival and registered more than 10 people to vote.
“We wanted to do at least one per hour, so we’ve definitely over achieved,” said GRASP volunteer Dana Pavlichko.
One of the biggest highlights of the show was Steve Pastella’s customized 1966 Ford Woody, which looks nothing like it did in 1966. He’s re-customized the car numerous times, but it’s currently painted black and adorned with red and yellow flames.

Michel Marie Deza and Elena Deza’s Encyclopedia of Distances is exactly what it says it is — an encyclopedia of topics that relate to measuring distance. It is written in an encyclopedic format, consisting mostly of bulleted lists of concepts with no significant narrative. There are no exercises or proofs.
The text is divided into seven parts, with the organizational strategy moving roughly from the abstract to the concrete. The first part of the book covers important concepts in and near the study of metric spaces in general, including metric-like structures, topological separation axioms, and several metric invariants. The remaining parts are inventories of metrics in various areas of mathematics, science, and other fields. This begins with several metrics in classical geometry, then proceeds to applications of distance in fields like algebra and probability, eventually working through applied mathematics, computer science, physics and chemistry, social science, and even art and religion.
The book is at its best when it stays within mathematics. The entries are terse but clear, primarily featuring definitions and sometimes a few comments on significant properties and connections to other entries. It is a convenient, interesting, and unique reference of mathematical ideas that are not often found together. In the later chapters, where the entries get more applied, the content becomes more difficult to penetrate without some background in the corresponding areas. Some of the entries, particularly in the less mathematical fields, amount to listing some things that people like to measure. The authors arguably may have been a bit overzealous in their effort to inventory all things distance, but this applies to relatively small portion of the book.
Needless to say the bibliography is extensive, but the authors concede in the preface that an appropriate citation for every definition would be an impossible task. I was thus frequently left with the experience of discovering an interesting entry but having no direction on where to go for more. The authors vaguely refer the reader to the internet for more information, which points pretty well to how this book should be used. It is a handy reference for forgotten facts and a starting point to learn about new ideas, but it is ultimately the reader’s responsibility to find the right sources.
Encyclopedias in general have evolved considerably in the digital age, specifically with the advent of hypertext to accommodate their inherently non-linear nature. The Encyclopedia of Distances references itself frequently, so it is very convenient that the book is packaged with a digital copy on CD-ROM. The disk contains the entire text in Adobe’s ubiquitous portable document format (pdf) with all references hyperlinked to the appropriate section of the main text or the bibliography. There is no additional content on the disk, just additional convenience.
Encyclopedia of Distances is a highly peculiar book. It is a truly original compilation of material, one that almost anyone with some mathematical experience might enjoy browsing. Geometers will find it a nifty reference, but the extent to which a more general audience may see it as a useful source rather than a novelty is difficult to (ahem) measure.

A report published today shows that the UK can expand its world-beating offshore wind capacity to almost five times its current level by 2030, and that the nation has the most economically attractive offshore wind resources in Europe.
The new study, “Unleashing Europe’s Offshore Wind Potential” by independent consultants BVG Associates, demonstrates that a total capacity of at least 25 gigawatts (GW) can be installed in UK waters by the end of the next decade – enough to power more than 20 million homes, which is 75% of all households in the UK.
This would retain the UK’s global lead in offshore wind, as the report states that Germany would remain in second place with 14GW by 2030.
The report says this can be achieved using larger offshore wind turbines, each with a capacity of 13GW (the largest currently are 8GW). It also envisages an expansion in the market for floating offshore wind farms, in addition to projects with traditional foundations.
The study also shows that the UK has by far the most economically attractive offshore wind resources for development by 2030 anywhere in Europe; nearly three times better than Denmark which is in second place.
RenewableUK’s Executive Director, Emma Pinchbeck, said: “This report shows what our innovative offshore wind industry can deliver in the years ahead, securing economic growth and cheaper electricity. The Government can help us by continuing to hold fiercely competitive auctions for financial support, as well as putting offshore wind at the heart of its upcoming Industrial Strategy. Clear, bold, modern energy policy will attract billions of pounds of investment”.
The report was commissioned by the trade body WindEurope, to coincide with the first day of the world’s biggest offshore wind energy conference, Offshore Wind Energy 2017 at ExCeL in London, which is being co-hosted by RenewableUK.

Microsoft has unveiled their new game streaming service ‘Project xCloud’, which grants gamers the ultimate freedom in their choice of gaming medium – PC or console – but also aims to bring the game streaming service to smartphones and tablets.
Streaming services have exploded in popularity in recent years with the aim of bringing big games to your home without the need for a massive gaming computing system or console set up. However, instead of just console and PC platforms, Microsoft is planning on bringing Project xCloud to smartphones and tablets.
Microsoft has been testing the xCloud service with Xbox wireless controllers connected to consoles, mobile devices, and PCs, as well as touchscreen controls on mobile devices, and will be opening up testing to the public next year.
Microsoft has custom-built hardware for its data centres so that existing and future Xbox games will be compatible with the xCloud, which means developers can deploy and scale access to their games on xCloud without the need for additional work.
The xCloud is possible thanks to the existing cloud computing service Microsoft Azure which houses numerous data centres already set up around the world.
Microsoft’s Xbox game streaming service will face competition from a variety of existing services including PlayStation Now, GeForce Now, Liquid Sky, Shadow and of course Google’s Project Stream announced only days ago which allows gamers to play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey via the Chrome browser.
Microsoft isn’t revealing too many details on how it differs from its competition, but more news will follow when public testing begins in 2019.

Notes "Philadelphia Saving Fund Society". elegant, subtly sculpted slab masses. "a summation of European Modernism"
"Built by the oldest bank in the United States, the PSFS is a dramatic expression of the steel skeleton and the many identical floors of the modern office building.
"Above the fifth floor the building assumes its characteristic T-shape. The typical plan shows how elevators and ducts are concentrated in one smooth block of glazed black brick. Offices project in a narrow wing for favorable light, with columns revealed on either side as vertical shafts. At the front, floors are cantilevered beyond the columns to allow continuous glass for maximum light and freedom of interior arrangement. Between the bands of glass are bands of light gray brick."
 from Elizabeth Mock, ed. Built in the USA Since 1932. p100.
The bank organization was liquidated subsequent to the U.S. savings and loan crises of the late 1980's.
