why craig are take over world

essay by me (craig)

As much as Craig may seem like a simple doodle of a cat, his potential for world domination should not be underestimated. Despite his crude appearance, Craig embodies the essence of adaptability and resilience, traits that are essential for any aspiring ruler.

Firstly, Craig's simplicity works to his advantage. Underestimation is a powerful tool in warfare, and many would dismiss Craig as inconsequential. However, this oversight allows Craig to operate in the shadows, biding his time until the perfect moment to strike.

Secondly, Craig's lack of defined features makes him a versatile symbol. He can represent anything from innocence to cunning, depending on the narrative spun around him. This ambiguity allows Craig to appeal to a wide range of followers, from disillusioned citizens seeking change to opportunistic power-seekers.

Thirdly, Craig's handwritten signature adds a personal touch to his endeavors. In a world increasingly dominated by digital signatures and impersonal interactions, Craig's handwritten mark harkens back to a simpler time, fostering a sense of nostalgia and authenticity among his followers.

In conclusion, Craig may appear unassuming at first glance, but beneath his simplistic exterior lies the potential for world domination. Through adaptability, versatility, and a personal touch, Craig has the tools necessary to rally followers and reshape the world in his image. Beware the power of Craig, for his ascent to global dominance may be closer than we think.

What happened with Barbour ?

Dear Barbour Anon,

My favorite kind of Anon, even if I know the question has recently been asked again and not in this corner. Never mind, I think it's time to talk about it, too.

I bought my first Barbour (entry-level, so olive) Bedale wax jacket 25 years ago, from their (long gone, now) shop on Boulevard Raspail, in Paris. It was a mandatory clothing item to own if you wanted to properly mingle with the law school crowd (it still is) and it ended up being one of my most prized possessions, possibly a part of me. I still have it somewhere, back home. Two more followed, along with a fetishist array of shirts, scarves, beanies and even one of those sturdy crossbody bags you can fit half a house in. So you can imagine my absolute thrill when I found out, very very late, that S had had a rather substantial collaboration with them, from 2016 and until 2019.

I am very bad with timelines, as you probably know and possibly even cackle about, but still: S was appointed as the company's first ever Global Brand Ambassador on July 16, 2016. His mission statement was very precisely defined by the brand and for some reason we'll analyze a bit later, this is important:

(Source, heh: https://www.astonbourne.co.uk/is-barbour-a-luxury-brand-unraveling-the-mystique-of-classic-outerwear/).

A shirt and vest signature collection followed in 2017 and 2018, with the contract being renewed. Advertisement was absolutely gorgeous and designed to shape a very positive image, both for S and the brand. Last autumn's SS Gin promo retained some of that irresistible aesthetic DNA and I discussed it at length.

See for yourself, Anon. The fandom endlessly discussed the first long clip (with the chocolate labrador), but I have no idea if these two have been seen, let alone debated. If they did, let that be my nostalgic mistake.

Spring/Summer 2018:

Fall 2018:

And then disaster stroke, with S's trip to Ha-wa-wee 1.0, in the spring of 2019. A short reel, featuring a rather agglomerated boat trip, was posted on socials. Unfortunately for S, it also featured an allegedly horrifying scene involving the 'traditional' bludgeoning to death of a tuna fish. Emotions ensued and as it often happens here, they spun out of control. Many people, including some of the most vocal S haters, tagged Barbour in their diatribes, filled with environmentalist indignation. They suggested this guy (who did not participate to the savagery and I would be even unsure he realized what was going on) was, by no reasonable means, a proper 'embodiment of the brand's identity, values and aspirations' (remember that mission statement?).

Tone deaf as ever in the midst of a serious PR crisis, S put friendship above anything else, and publicly praised the boat's owner, calling him 'the heart and soul of the island', if I remember well. I still would like to think he has no idea what the hell exactly happened. And then, when somebody finally (August 2019) asked Barbour on Insta about their collaboration with S, they got this politely dry, but clear answer:

"We don't have any plans for a collaboration with SH in the near future" means, in my book and to my understanding, "we are never going to work with this guy again". Truly, some people in here who dare to give morality lessons to others, should be proud of themselves: they did it knowingly and in a very organized way, using multiple sock accounts, to give the impression of a collective retching reflex. To cut the story short, the dread of any ad campaign on this planet.

The effort was genuine. The result of that collaboration was very good. Take, for example, this somewhat heartbreaking customer review by an American guy who has no idea who SRH is and who bought one of those jackets from a Barbour factory warehouse, in 2021, with a hefty rebate (70% off). Clearly something Barbour wanted to get rid of at all costs - what a pity and really what a SHAME on all those hypocrites who will never admit to a public assassination by the book:

This time, I am absolutely not sorry for the length, Anon. This is something that still makes me boil. Unfairness and cheap nastiness simply disgust me.

(Thank you, sweetheart, for the screenshot, always. You know who you are 😘😘😘).

The House GOP as an ongoing criminal conspiracy.

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

DEC 6, 2023

          At a time of multiple global crises, the House GOP will vote next week to open a sham “impeachment inquiry” of President Biden. When every moment of legislative floor time is literally a matter of life and death, the House GOP will squander its quickly evaporating legislative calendar to provide political cover for an aspiring dictator. The House GOP will fold a constitutional process—impeachment—into an ongoing criminal conspiracy to help an indicted felon evade responsibility for his crimes.

          Under Mike Johnson’s stunt Speakership, the members of the House GOP are acting as constitutional vandals defacing the charter of our nation with partisan graffiti, overwriting the signatures of the Framers—including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin. “Mike Johnson was here, LOL!” will forever mar the face of the Constitution as the House GOP invokes impeachment in aid of insurrection.

          And as Speaker Johnson was whipping the vote on the impeachment inquiry, he announced that GOP staffers will delay releasing 44,000 hours of video footage of the attack on the Capitol on January 6. Why? Because GOP staffers want to “blur” the faces of insurrectionists to prevent members of the public from identifying those who assaulted the Capitol. See The Hill, GOP blurring faces in Jan. 6 security tapes, says Speaker Johnson.

          Johnson said,

We have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ.

          Johnson appears to be unclear on the central concept of criminal justice—holding criminals accountable by “charging them” with crimes, which is known as “justice,” not “retaliation.” In doing its best to defeat the identification of January 6 insurrectionists, the House GOP is confirming its status as an ongoing criminal conspiracy to frustrate the administration of justice.

          But even those disgraceful acts are rivaled by the GOP’s inability and unwillingness to pass legislation necessary to fund the government, protect national security, and provide military aid to Ukraine and Israel. Mike Johnson has said that immigration reform in the US is “the price” of passing an aid bill for Ukraine (per Punch Bowl News, behind a paywall). See also The Hill, House Democrats reject GOP’s immigration limits in Ukraine aid bill.

          Per The Hill,

The Democrats—including well-placed members of the Hispanic and Progressive caucuses—argue that America’s border policies have no bearing on U.S. efforts to help a democratic ally repel Russian forces, and any drastic changes to U.S. policy toward migrants would dissolve their support for the broader aid package.

          Meanwhile, Mike Johnson’s position is that the House has already passed an aid bill for Israel—the one that calls for billions in cuts from the IRS budget that would increase the federal budget deficit by $12 billion over the next ten years.

          In short, the House is busy serving as an “accessory after the fact” to help Trump and other insurrectionists to evade accountability for their crimes as they fail to perform their most basic constitutional function—passing a budget.

The Future of Designer Menswear

Fashion's masculine wardrobe is experiencing a revival. From tailoring's return to gender-neutral styles being accepted more readily, menswear is experiencing an unprecedented period of evolution.

With sales of menswear increasing exponentially, luxury retailers are expanding their product lines and revamping how they sell menswear clothing - but what will this mean for designer menswear in general?

Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole, one of the premier fashion designers who established his name brand in 1982, is best known for combining classic and modern styles in his designs, which have quickly become highly coveted among both classicists and modernists alike. Furthermore, his company is widely respected for their environmental policies as they utilize recycled and organic materials when producing their goods; additionally they provide shoes and accessories inspired by New York culture which encompasses various cultures and styles.

Cole is widely distributed throughout department stores, specialty boutiques, his own retail shops and online e-commerce site as well as discount outlet centers worldwide. His company maintains global operations out of New York City.

David Hart

David Hart is an American designer who participates in the CFDA Men's Fund. His tightly edited fall 2020 collection showcased his interpretation of what modern men want to wear, beginning with an ivory camel suit embroidered with wildflowers on its lapels -- nodding toward today's "yeehaw agenda," then followed by extra-roomy trousers paired with a camp shirt featuring printed bananas duct-taped to its seams; an allusion to Maurizio Cattelan's now-famous plantain (and all its subsequent virtual reinterpretations).

Hart has always had an affinity for tailored clothing, beginning with neckties in 2009. Six years ago he launched a small tie line that has since expanded into an entire ready to wear collection. His designs bridge classical tailoring techniques with contemporary fits and colors for an elevated experience - silk and wool ties, Doegal Tweed suiting and trim banlon Polo Shirts all exude an effortless style and exude an aura of crooner cool!

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton is one of the world's premier luxury brands, founded in France in 1854 as an aesthetic journey inspired by travel and discovery. Since then, this French fashion house has continued its expansion by designing products with ergonomic features to accommodate new modes of transport; continuing the values set forth by its founder through savoir-faire and creativity.

Louis Vuitton has an illustrious history of collaborations with prominent artists and designers. Perhaps their most acclaimed collaboration was with American streetwear brand Supreme, designed by Takashi Murakami and Stephen Sprouse in 2001. Furthermore, Murakami created his signature graffiti style collection of Louis Vuitton bags featuring his unique blend of cute art over classic monogram canvas in 2008.

In 2010, Louis Vuitton opened its most luxurious store in London: Louis Vuitton Island Maison is a three-story building featuring an open air courtyard and private terraces as well as museum and exhibition space, restaurant, bar, as well as museum exhibition space. Additionally, in 2022 the brand will launch its inaugural LVMH-owned shop in China.

MR PORTER FUTURES

Fashion industry competition is getting ever tougher for young aspiring designers to break in, which makes it hard for aspiring young designers to break in. Therefore, luxury online menswear destination Mr Porter and Klarna are teaming up to launch a global designer mentorship programme called MR PORTER FUTURES that will assist three young designers build their brands while designing and producing at least 15 pieces to launch on Mr Porter's platform. In addition, each chosen designer will also receive an intensive high-level business incubation program along with coaching sessions from leading industry mentors; plus they will share 50% of any Net Profits* generated through sales on Mr Porter over 12 months - an invaluable opportunity!

Applications from all around the world may submit applications until June 6, 2019, to be considered for mentoring by our Mentor Selection Committee. After review of applications are aggregated in June, three designers or duos who scored highest will be invited for interviews with us, then chosen three will have a two season window in which their responsible collection can be available on our platform.

How Nike Basketball’s Signature Athletes Grow the Game Across the World

According to NIKE

Basketball is a global game, and Nike Basketball is committed to growing that game, fueling its culture, and giving back to the basketball family so it can thrive worldwide. Nike Basketball signature athletes have helped to make that happen with annual international visits, most recently in Greater China, when Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo visited Guangzhou and Beijing with a focus on giving back to local communities. 

In the summertime, Nike Basketball invites its signature players to Greater China to meet young players and share personal stories of perseverance to inspire local kids. 

Antetokounmpo’s visit was highlighted by the unveiling of a new basketball court at Linfeng’e Elementary School in Guangzhou, donated by the Recycle-A-Shoe program. The unique court was built using donated shoes from players and communities during the 2022-23 season of the Nike China High School Basketball League.

For Antetokounmpo, the Nike Grind court is part of Nike Basketball’s commitment to protect the future of sport and inspire the next generation to discover its fullest potential through the game. In his words, he wants to be a role model for kids, which is why he prioritizes spending time with them on these trips. In sharing his inspiring personal story, he hopes to help pave the way for the next generation of players. He'll also further show his commitment alongside players who have big competitive aspirations; over two days Giannis and his brothers are training in Beijing with an elite group consisting of the China Men's National U16 team and the Nike China High School Basketball League select team, helping them improve their skills.

“I’m thrilled to connect with the passionate basketball fans in China, especially young kids,” says Antetokounmpo. “They are the future of sport. I hope to inspire and encourage them to embrace the power of basketball.”

Core to Nike Basketball’s commitment to the game is the development of grassroots play internationally. Giannis will personally select and train with players out of 40 candidates that best represent his mentality in Guangzhou’s Team Freak Assemble, the final stage of the nationwide Team Freak tryouts for grassroots players. Team Freak will be rewarded with the opportunity to train with Giannis and participate in the tip-off of GGAC program in Beijing. GGAC is an open-run hoop platform designed to provide accessible game times and to progress for players who are passionate about basketball, especially those at school.

Since 2004, Nike Basketball signature players, such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant, have visited more than 20 cities throughout Greater China to promote grassroots basketball, serving local communities and inspiring the region’s next generation of players.

Key Steps to Starting a Spice Business

If you’re planning to dive into the spice business, it’s important to establish a clear strategy. 

Here are some steps to help in starting:

1. Market Research and Business Plan

Before launching your spice business, it is crucial to conduct thorough market research. Understand who your competitors are, what spices are most in demand, and what gaps you can fill in the market. You should also identify your target audience. Are you catering to restaurants, gourmet shops, or individual consumers?

2. Sourcing Quality Ingredients

Sourcing high-quality ingredients is the most important point in having a successful seasoning business. Spices vary greatly in flavor, aroma, and potency based on where they are grown and how they are processed. 

Partnering with reliable suppliers who can provide consistent quality is essential. Consider factors like:

Sustainability: choose sustainably sourced spices to appeal to eco-conscious buyers.

Purity: Ensure that your spices are free from additives, preservatives, and artificial colors.

Organic Options: Offering organic spices can attract health-focused consumers.

3. Developing Unique Spice Blends

Creating your signature blends can set your business apart. Experiment with different combinations to craft unique products that consumers won’t find anywhere else. Think about popular regional blends (like Garam Masala, Cajun, or Za’atar) as well as custom mixes that can be tailored for specific clients.

4. Packaging and Branding

Your packaging is the first thing customers see, so it should reflect the quality and uniqueness of your product. Effective branding can help build trust and loyalty with your customers. Consider the following:

Design: Use eye-catching and informative designs that highlight your brand's personality.

Environmental responsibility: Using eco-friendly packaging can attract consumers who care about the environment.

Labeling: Be sure to include clear information on ingredients, nutritional facts, and usage suggestions.

5. Choosing the Right Sales Channels

Decide whether you want to sell your spices directly to consumers, to other businesses, or both. 

Here are some ideas to consider:

Online Store: E-commerce platforms like Amazon, eBay, or a dedicated website can help you reach a wider audience.

Local Markets: Farmers' markets, gourmet shops, and food festivals are great for small-scale sellers.

B2B Sales: Consider selling your spices in bulk to restaurants, catering companies, and retailers.

Challenges in the Spice Business

While the spice industry offers ample opportunities, some challenges aspiring entrepreneurs should be aware of:

Price Competition: With many competitors in the market, keeping your prices competitive while maintaining quality can be a challenge.

Quality Control: Maintaining consistent quality, especially for small-batch, artisanal spices, is essential for customer satisfaction.

Supply Chain Issues: Sourcing rare spices from different parts of the world can sometimes be complicated by logistical and geopolitical issues.

The Importance of Employment Certificate Attestation

In today’s globalized world, many individuals aspire to work and build their careers beyond their home countries. Whether it’s pursuing higher education, seeking employment opportunities, or securing a visa for immigration, one common requirement you’ll encounter is the need for properly attested employment certificates. This essential step, known as employment certificate attestation, plays a pivotal role in verifying the authenticity of your career documents. In this blog, we’ll delve into why employment certificate attestation is crucial and how it can significantly impact your career.

Understanding Employment Certificate Attestation

Before we explore the importance of this process, let’s define what employment certificate attestation is. Employment certificate attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of your employment documents by obtaining endorsements from various authorities. These endorsements confirm that your employment history, job roles, and responsibilities are accurate and genuine. The primary objective is to ensure that your employment certificates are recognized and accepted by foreign governments, educational institutions, or potential employers.

The Key Importance of Employment Certificate Attestation

Now, let’s delve into the critical reasons why employment certificate attestation matters in today’s professional landscape:

1. International Recognition:

One of the primary reasons for employment certificate attestation is to gain international recognition for your career achievements. When you present attested employment certificates to foreign institutions or employers, it demonstrates the legitimacy of your work experience and qualifications. This recognition is especially vital when applying for jobs abroad, pursuing higher education in a foreign country, or seeking a work visa.

2. Educational Pursuits:

If you plan to further your education overseas, whether for a master’s degree, Ph.D., or other academic pursuits, you’ll likely need to provide attested employment certificates. Educational institutions abroad use this attestation process to evaluate your prior work experience, which can influence admission decisions and potential scholarships.

3. Employment Opportunities:

When applying for a job in a foreign country, employers may request attested employment certificates as part of their hiring process. Attested documents assure employers that your work experience aligns with the qualifications and skills they require, enhancing your credibility as a candidate.

4. Visa Applications:

Obtaining a work or immigration visa often necessitates attested employment certificates. Immigration authorities want to ensure that you have the relevant skills and experience to contribute to the country’s workforce. Attested certificates serve as evidence of your qualifications.

5. Preventing Fraud:

Employment certificate attestation helps prevent fraud and misrepresentation in career-related documents. Verifying the authenticity of your certificates ensures that individuals with fabricated or falsified employment histories are identified and excluded from opportunities.

6. Legal Compliance:

In some countries, employment certificate attestation is a legal requirement. Failing to comply with attestation regulations can lead to the rejection of visa applications, job offers, or educational admissions, potentially derailing your career plans.

The Employment Certificate Attestation Process

The process of employment certificate attestation involves several steps and typically varies depending on the destination country’s requirements. Here’s a simplified overview of the typical steps involved:

Notarization: Initially, you may need to notarize your employment certificates. This step confirms the authenticity of your signature and the document’s content.

State-Level Attestation: Some countries require employment certificates to be attested at the state or regional level. This often involves obtaining endorsements from state authorities like the State Home Department or State Education Department.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Attestation: For international recognition, the certificates must be attested by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or its equivalent department in your country. This step validates the documents at the national level.

Embassy/Consulate Attestation: If your destination country requires further attestation, you’ll need to visit the embassy or consulate of that country in your home country. This final endorsement ensures that your certificates are accepted in the destination country.

Translation (if required): Depending on the language of the destination country, you may need to have your documents translated into the official language. Translations should also be attested as necessary.

Conclusion

Employment certificate attestation is a vital aspect of documenting your career, especially if you have aspirations beyond your home country. It not only ensures the authenticity of your employment history but also opens doors to a world of opportunities in education, employment, and immigration. Understanding the importance of this process and navigating it diligently can significantly impact your career prospects on the global stage. So, whether you’re planning to study abroad, work in a foreign country, or immigrate, remember that proper attestation of your employment certificates is a crucial step towards achieving your career goals.
