About the whole ranking and balance-discussions:
I played around 50 games in the last 4 days and maybe won 4 of them...
This is just not fun. I want a handicap system, so i can win against better players reliably. Oh and i am also afraid to loose rating, can we make it so that rating doesn´t go down when you loose? oh and if you don´t listen to me i will give this game a negative review on steam.
is this a competitive game or a protectionistic kindergarden?
To the players: loosing and skill-differences are part of competitive pvp-games. loosing hurts me as well and gets me into bad mood, but if you can´t stand loosing, those kind of games are maybe not the thing of choice for you.
To the devs: you want an anti-elitist game, fine. but why did you make it elitist BY DESIGN then? This game has such a steep learning curve that it is elitist in it´s very own fundamental structures.

But isnt the large number of units, the many viable strategys and tactics what makes zerok gun in the first place?
I mean most rts games are lame because they lack those things.
Maybe you just reached a point in the learning curve where playing more wont help you anymore. At that point you need to kinda review your taughts during the game, and then rewatch the game to see what your thaughts should have been.
At that point you are at, from what i know about you, you need to force yourself to think differently, use different tactics, becoome more creative and see different strategys in order to win against higher ranked players.

tbh I never saw anything "creative" winning a high level replay. Just extreme discipline and fast switches to counters all the time.

i didn´t say i dislike the steep learning-curve. On the contrary, i think this is what makes the game great.
Before i came here i played 2 other competitive games:
Binge-learn patterns, opening- and mid-game-sequences, no chance of reaching any elo above 2300 unless you dedicate your entire luife to the game and even then no chance of reaching anything above 2500 if you didn´t start at the age of 3 and then becoming scolar of a professional really early.
Super Smash Brothers Melee:
Sit in your room alone for years to practise frame-perfect-inputs and combos. Practised at least 3 hours per day for a year, went to a local tournament (very low level compared to international standarts), got trashed by the weakest player there.
Actually ZK is the game i made the most progress so far i think. I am attracted to it because i have to learn alot without it becoming a boring repetitive skill-grind.
Also, when i was new and a real real noob, people were friendly and ready to help me and accept my mistakes as soon as i communicated with them and showed my willingness to learn. The absolute mayority of this community is very friendly and just becomes annoyed or even hostile if you as a new player ignore advice or become brazen or hostile yourself. Hostility that i witnessed was never due to pure lack of skill, but always about your behaviour as a person. (OFC there might be the odd exeptions, but those are just such: exeptions.)

I was surprised and the simplicity of some of PRO_rANDY's replays. A lot of them involve just speeding up his first factories output into an overwhelming stream of units, and forcing the enemies attention into his own territory and nowhere else.

I think you guys are framing things in such a way that anything would look bad given this treatment.
"Fighting games are just punching and kicking until someone wins."
"Racing games are just who goes the fastest".
"Shooting games are just who shoot the other first".
Of course when you remove the nuance and distill it down to the most basic components, then uncharitably describe it, it sounds bad.
It's true, most people are beatable just by having macro when they don't. But this only really works when there's an imbalance in macro ability. When macro ability is equal, it's other factors that win games.
Define the bounds of "creative". My understanding is that things stop being creative once they have been shown to win. Then they're just standard. The meta evolves over time with or without balance changes, so presumably creativity is happening.
I think it takes exceptional psychological resilience to lose that much and still keep going. It's a commendable attitude, but I wouldn't make fun of others for not being able to replicate your feat. People differ significantly in how they interpret losses. If it were one or two people I'd disregard them, but I think most players have this issue to some degree. Ladder anxiety is pretty common even in games with larger communities (and thus more fair matchmaking). Playing competitive games for many is like gambling but with your self esteem. I'm not saying that's good tho.
Regarding the game, I don't see it as intrinsically elitist. They don't add any "macro" mechanics to tax apm artificially, in fact, quite the opposite. I'd say the emphasis is more on exploration in a strategy sand-box than on distinguishing the noobs from the pros. Elitism is just an unfortunate side-effect of having so many noob-traps in a game to explore; the people that know the noob-traps have seniority over those who don't. This effect is amplified by the fact that both classes of player are thrown in together due to the constraints of a small community. You wouldn't see so much baww if highly-skilled players weren't forced into the same space as the less-skilled players in order to find games. It's like if a highschooler were held back in kindergarten or something, it's just not teaching them anything.

"Elitism is just an unfortunate side-effect of having so many noob-traps in a game to explore;"
maybe i am wrong, but this topic has been adressed often enough (without consequences) that i think it is legit to call the design elitist. Not that i would change it myself.
I didn´t intend to make fun of other people. Maybe i choose to harsh words. But I still think that if you have a problem with your enviroment, you should first try to change something with yourself, rather than changing your enviroment.
interestingly, this "simplistic" approach is something common for good players in the games i mentioned above as well. Mastering the basic aspects of a game will bring you further than to know some fancy stuff without masterd basics.
why do you think i play significantly less 1v1 now? :) i don´t want to loose my dark-blue rating either.
2 years ago
What type of games did you play? (looked at replay list, can't get a feeling)
I played one game against you in MM, 2v2 and it felt quite balanced. Probably it was effort to deal with the ally (lower rank) as I needed to ask couple of obvious things (go there, retreat, repair, etc.) but overall I did not feel it was a clear win.
In my experience, after steam:
the larger team games feel horribly unbalanced (would not say "are", but as a non top10 player is hard to influence them)
MM teams is more about interacting with your team mate (usually lower experience/a bit dizzy)
1v1 with same WHR are hard to find (you either play with someone better, or with someone lower, and as the better ones play more the chance is that you will get someone better)
The biggest difference from before steam is that the cluster fucks are larger => more annoying, random, etc.
And about the rank. "loosing blue/white" would be fine, I got there not because I got much better, but because of the influx of players. I would care more about the ranking in the ladder, and that one stays "rather" constant for me.

(edited 2 years ago)
I played:
-a couple of MM 1v1´s
-some PW games
-2 clusterfuck-games
-1 2v2 MM with
(the one you are refering to and that felt quite balanced as you say yourself). This one was not annoying for me because of my allie but because my OWN inabillity to deal with jumpers.
loosing 1v1 is clearly the most depressing as you don´t have your allies as cheap excuse. :) I just say, i have 2 options:
either not playing the game i love at all anymore or accept that i cannot win all games (or maybe even that i suck horribly). I personaly chose the second option. If I don´t want to risk loosing, i switch to PvE-games like Warframe, where it is basically impossible to fail.
why do you ask?

I want a handicap system
This may actually be a good idea.
Unbalanced matches are unfun for both the weaker player that gets trashed with no hope to do anything, and the stronger player who has no challenge.
Go has the same problem, where unbalanced games are considered uninteresting, and solves it with a handicap system (in this case, starting with stones already in place at specific positions).
The Zero-K equivalent could be an extra metal income from the mexes. For example, a specific mex would appear as being 2.0 for the stronger player and 2.2 for the weaker player. In reclaim-heavy maps, maybe there should also be extra reclaimable stuff around their starting box.

(edited 2 years ago)
why do you ask?
I believe to solve a problem you need to understand it.
For what you say (and including my experience) lettings players set bounds for WHR against which they want to play might be a solution.
Example: want to play 1v1/team MM not more than X% WHR difference. Bonus if you get an estimate of how long you wait for X. The result would be that you would play maybe less games, but much more balanced...
My strategy now is usually to stop playing if 3-4 times in a row I loose, because it means "bad stacks" are there and I can't fix it (ex: top10 + newbie that listens not to make storages versus me + another with similar skill)
2 years ago
might be an interesting option for casual games, but can´t be implemented into the MM for obvious reasons.
it also has some cons:
handicap games in go have their own meta and most of the people i play with don´t really like them because of that.
They force the stronger player to use overplay-tactics (tactics that are obviously unviable normally like rushing krow in 1v1 in the hope that your opponent does nothing for the first 6 minutes) at least in the <2000 elo region. The problem is that it does not teach the weaker player anything. And the games are distintly "ugly" because of that.
2 years ago
handicap games in go have their own meta and most of the people i play with don´t really like them because of that.
This is why I suggested giving better metal spots/reclaim to the weaker player (or team), essentially making the map asymmetric. That way, you still have to grab and hold as much as possible and prevent the opponent from doing the same, but the same efforts from the weaker player yield more benefits, compensating lower skill.
Otherwise, the game is played the same. Commanders are worth the same. Units are just as strong. Energy and buildpower work the same way...
Also, it should also be an option in the MM, probably unchecked by default, for players stuck with a "bad stack" or when it takes an unreasonable amount of time to find a game.

Tldr; git gud

Playing vs skilled players is what got me to where i stand.
The point of playing competitive is to learn the hard way (fastest way) until you get a grip of the game's mechanics, so, at the end, it's all about the player's mental strenght (willing to keep playing, even if losing, if that means getting experience you can apply on the next game).
In my opinion, the only solution right now is getting more players, i think the matchmaking system is fine (even with it's flaws).
Also, if you start giving handicaps to lower skilled players, they're not going to learn anything and will end up failing when they earn enough elo to not get any help anymore.

I suggested a
concrete and general handicap system
2 years ago. It works for any team constellation and based on any probability prediction system. So, you can treat WHR as one of the "even more general systems" mentioned there.
I intended to use it only for games with high skill difference, but in principle, it could be used in any case.

High elo is punishment enough in team games. No handicap required.

(edited 2 years ago)
Just to comment on the concept of handicaps and Go:
tdlr - Non-mandatory handicaps done well can be fun for everyone, and may be underutilized in general. There exists an option for using "organic scenario" handicaps to give skill-distant players a way to play an even match, if they so choose.
Handicaps (and also bidding systems to equalize asymmetrically-played games/maps, like Axis&Allies does for instance) have probably not organically evolved yet in many places, because of how jarring they are to groups that haven't used to them (also lots of humans just like to see raw wins). I love Go, and that was my first introduction to handicaps.
Now, to be fair, playing a stacked game is already a completely different meta, so the discussion is simply about coming up with a fun way to do something that there is no fun way to do right now. I agree with the meta-changing aspect of Go handicaps, and similarly, if we just multiplied metal income, while easy to implement, could create an unintuitive and persistent change in gameplay on every level. But there's an even more elegant solution that involves handicapping with organic scenarios.
For instance, ever lost your first scout to their scout? Bam, there's an organic handicap option right there, starting one player with a scout but not the other.
Ever had both scouts mutually kill each other, but it was in your base so you had the reclaim? There's another option, starting one player with reclaim by their base.
Same with one player having an extra wind gen or mex because the other lost it.
Especially with things like reclaim, there's lots of options for granularity. If there are any concerns with even the most promising idea still being too unnatural because of having it at game start, you can delay the bonus to a natural time, say 1 minute into the game or something.
Perhaps at game start, the commander has a command to place a "handicap wreck", which would be a single wreck with metal equal to players' difference in mmr. But it has a 1-minute delay on being reclaimable.
To get into logistics for a second if that sounds confusing: the servers keep track of handicap win ratios for given "handicap constants" and adjust them until the handicap constant results in 50/50 win ratios. As in: ReclaimHandicap = mmr * HandicapConstant.

How an air-conditioning mechanic in Sydney Australia became an award winning broadcaster in Britain; Part 78.
There's a lot to sort out when you move house. It's even more complicated when you move to another country and you don't actually have a house to move into.
In February 1997, Julie and I moved from Australia to England. I presented my last show on 2GO on the New South Wales Central Coast because I'd got a job as the Breakfast Show host at 2CR FM in Bournemouth.
We wanted to travel light so we sold most of our furniture. The big problem was the car. We'd bought a brand new car almost a year earlier. It was the cheapest new car you could buy in Australia at the time, a Daihatsu Centro. We tried to sell it but realised that because cars depreciate so much in that first year, it was cheaper to ship it to England.
I knew that when we got to the UK and told people were were having our car shipped over from Australia, they'd think that we must own a super-car or a classic. How were we going to explain that what we'd shipped half way around the world was actually a three cylinder 650cc budget Japanese hatchback?
Craic on!

"Say, did you get rear-ended or what!" exclaims Dr. Beard while examining the humongous bruises on the ass of traffic-accident victim Sandy Johnson. The Doc advises holistic treatment and, with the help of his hunky handsome male nurse Tom, administers a dick lozenge and a cock suppository simultaneously. Miss Johnson is so responsive to therapy that the Doc invites her to join his group of Weekend Lovers aboard the cabin cruiser Sodom.

Every year as January approaches, parents of college-aged children scramble to gather the necessary information to complete their FAFSA forms (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This annual ritual can be stressful for your clients. They hear from others that they should submit the application as soon as possible to get the most aid, but unfortunately, the tax data they need isn't always available! After all, how many of us have our tax returns done by January 1? As a result, in previous years, applicants were forced to wait to file or to file unofficial numbers and update their FAFSA forms once their tax return was filed.
Thankfully, the process is getting easier starting in the 2017–2018 school year. To help your clients maximize their financial aid, it's important to familiarize yourself with the process, including recent changes to the FAFSA for 2017–2018, which involve the time frame for filing and the tax year data that is needed.
What Is the FAFSA?
The FAFSA is the government application for federal student aid. The purpose of the application is to determine the estimated family contribution (EFC). To do this, the application requires data on the student's and parents' assets and income to determine how much each can afford to contribute to the cost of education. The aid package can include federal Pell grants, federal student loans, and work study programs. Further, many colleges and private organizations use the FAFSA to determine the aid they will also provide.
How Is EFC Determined?
When evaluating an applicant's assets and income, the FAFSA uses a sliding scale based on geographic location and family size. Certain assets are not counted, such as your client's primary residence, retirement accounts, annuities, and cash value of any life insurance. The bullet points below show the formulas that are used to determine the EFC.
- 20 percent of a student's assets (money, investments, business interests, and real estate)
- 50 percent of a student's income (after certain allowances)
- 2.6 percent to 5.6 percent of a parent's assets (money, investments, certain business interests, and real estate, based on a sliding income scale and after certain allowances)
- 22 percent to 47 percent of a parent's income (based on a sliding income scale and after certain allowances)
College savings 529 accounts are also counted more favorably as a parent asset—between 2.6 percent and 5.6 percent—rather than at the higher rate of 20 percent under a student asset.
Recent Developments
There are two major changes to the FAFSA for 2017–2018 that your clients should be aware of.
Filing date. One major change is the filing start date. Rather than beginning on January 1, filing can now start on October 1; in turn, the filing period now ends on June 30. So, this year, all FAFSA forms can be filed October 1, 2016, for the school year starting July 1, 2017.
By choosing to file at this earlier date, you clients will have the ability to review their financial aid packages earlier and better plan for their upcoming out-of-pocket expenses. Keep in mind that many schools and states may have additional aid application deadlines that may not have changed; therefore, be sure to inform your clients that they should always check with their school or state websites for additional aid applications.
Tax data. The second major change is the tax filing year data that your clients will need to provide. Since the filing date has been moved up three months, the tax filing year data should be that of the prior year. No longer will applicants have to "guesstimate" their upcoming taxes and update later. With the October 1, 2016, filing date, clients can use their 2015 tax numbers. Even those taxpayers who have filed an extension will have their returns done by then.
Overall, these changes should take some of the stress off applicants and allow parents and independent students to more easily submit their applications. The chart below summarizes these upcoming changes.
Maximize Aid
As the cost for college continues to rise and student loan debt soars (currently exceeds $1 trillion), understanding and maximizing financial aid have never been more important. By understanding these changes and educating your clients, you will help ease their data-collection activities and, hopefully, provide them with more time to budget for these expenses.
Do you include the financial aid process as part of your education planning discussions? Do your clients look to you for help with filing the FAFSA? Please share your thoughts with us below.

Nicknamed China's Garden City, this coastal city has a beach-head that stretches over 100 km (60 miles), as well as lush forests and picturesque islands. Weihai is the place you go to relax and do many other fun activities, whether it is during summer or winter.
You can swim at an international beach, relax at some of the best city parks in China, bathe at the hot springs, learn about Chinese war culture and history, or see wild animals. Here are the best things to do while on a tour of Weihai...
In addition to swimming, you can try out boat riding or ship cruises. Although overcrowded most of the time, this beach can hold up to 40,000 to 50,000 visitors at the same time.
You can walk along the beach and enjoy the natural beauty: gentle sand slopes and fine sand, grass on the dunes, stone inscriptions, two mountains on the west and east, and exuberant forests, or simply sit to sunbathe.
You can meet with travelers from all around the world and enjoy exchanging cultures or socializing with them in different ways. The most recommended season (peak season) is May to October.
Another nearby famous beach in Shandong province, where you can enjoy bathing in water and sun as well as other sea entertainment activities, is the First Bathing Beach in Qingdao. It has beach huts, modern buildings, traditional villas, and beautiful scenes.
Known as the birthplace of China's first navy, it is located at the mouth of Weihai Bay. The island offers a lot that interests tourists, but first take a sight-seeing ship that plies the island route. Tourists are allowed to stand at the rear of the ship in order to enjoy the beautiful views instead of sitting in the cabin.
Apart from sight-seeing the continuous ridges, mountain peaks, and dense trees among other natural beauty, you can learn a lot from the historical and cultural artifacts exhibited at the Liugong Island Museum, China Weapons Museum, and other places.
An example is learning the culture of Jiawu (the Sino-Japan War of 1894–1895). There are also remains of European-style buildings and remains of a Navy Academy, the Residence of Commander Ding, Iron Dock and Old Fort, and the Monument to the Soldiers.
You also get to see the Liugongdao Exposition at the Island, whose main highlights are the colorful temple and the dragon tower. Among the few exhibits includes the whale exhibit (which exhibits stuffed whales and skeletons), and the British exhibition that exhibits history of the Island and its inhabitants during the 17th century. There is also a collection of vases and urns.
Apart from cruise tours to this Island, you can also take domestic ferries to Dalian and Weihai at the Qingdao Port Cruise Terminal.

FEM-Design helps engineers worldwide to get full control over their structural analysis.
FEM-Design is advanced modeling software for finite element analysis and design of load-bearing concrete, steel, timber and foundation structures according to Eurocode with NA. The unique user-friendly working environment is based on the familiar CAD tools that make the model creation and structure editing simple and intuitive. The quick and easy nature of FEM-Design makes it ideal for all types of construction tasks from single element design to global stability analysis of large structures and makes it the best practical tool for structural engineers.
Benefits of using FEM-Design
FEM-Design Applications
FEM-Design can be purchased as one of a few applications that different from each other by the scope of design and analysis possibilities.
The scope of design and analysis
FEM-Design 3D Structure
Complete structural analysis and design of complex structures containing a combination of materials and element types, including shell elements, slabs, walls, bars, beams, and columns with arbitrary loads. Static-, dynamic- and seismic analysis can be performed as well as solving global stability problems. Buckling phenomena and concrete cracking are accounted for.
FEM-Design Frame
Three-dimensional frame and truss structures are easily modeled, analyzed and designed in FEM-Design. Common structures can be generated along with loads in a few simple steps using the parametric input wizard. The section editor allows complex arbitrary section shapes (opened or closed) to be created for bars, beams, and columns.
FEM-Design Steel Joint
Total of 51 solutions and 7 types (according to the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction). Use predefined solutions and design the connection using a bolt and/or welds. Define the load and steel sections in the stand-alone version, or get automatic import of the geometry and load combination results from FEM-Design 3D model.
FEM-Design Plate
Concrete slabs or other two-dimensional transversely loaded structures can be analyzed. Reinforced concrete is designed according to code, accounting for cracked section analysis, shrinkage and creep considering applied reinforcement. Required reinforcement is calculated for the ultimate limit state, and applied reinforcement can be used for checking deflections and/or crack width.
FEM-Design Wall
FEM-Design offers design solutions for plane stress problems, such as shear and load-bearing walls as well as for other kinds of structural elements such as webs of deep beams or steel plates.
Based on a model in FEM-Design, our new software PREFAB Print automatically generates a report of the vertical and horizontal load takedown and stability check for an entire building consisting of concrete elements.
The report is made as an interactive PDF file with clickable objects containing information regarding wall geometry and wall material as well as load distribution and EuroCode verification checks.
To ensure a smooth transition between FEM-Design and PREFAB Print please make sure to follow our modelling guidelines in the video below/above.

|Experimental: Electrosensing antibody probing system (e- Ab sensing)
Device: Electrosensing antibody probing system (e- Ab sensing)
Electrosensing antibody probing system (e- Ab sensing), which was developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of hapten, proteins or viral antigen in medical samples, will be used for analyzing the interaction kinetics between mutation-specific anti-EGFR and its antigen mutant EGFR present in NSCLC. The system incorporates the use of engineered semiconductive antibodies or virus in vertical and lateral chip (eAbchip) or lateral flow through (eAbsignal) formats. In electrosensing antibody probing, semiconductive antibodies are bound as a suitable electrosensing probe which specifically and selectively binds mutant EGFR polypeptide target molecules in the test specimen.

- Push-out Score determined
- After less than three and a half years in the position
- Praise, thanks and good wishes for Broader
- Bonnie Brooks taking over in the interim
- Search for a successor
(exechange) — Fort Myers, Florida, April 24, 2019 — Shelley Broader, chief executive of Chico's, leaves. As announced by Chico's FAS Inc. in a news release on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, Shelley G. Broader leaves her post as chief executive officer at the retail women's clothing chain after less than three and a half years in the role, effective immediately.
Among the 3,000 largest publicly held companies incorporated in the U.S. based on market capitalization, the average tenure of the CEOs who departed over the past 12 months was 7.7 years, according to data compiled by exechange.
Chico's will undertake a search for a successor.
Shelley Broader's duties will be taken over in the interim by Bonnie R. Brooks, a former chief executive officer of Hudson's Bay Company, as interim chief executive officer.
Already a director
Brooks is already a director of Chico's. Often a board member is a last resort, someone who is turned to in desperation when a company cannot find suitable candidates. On the other hand, directors-turned-executives represent a blend of outsider and insider.
They don't have the constraints of a pure insider when it comes to leading painful changes or making unpopular decisions, and they have more company knowledge than a pure outsider.
Having been a director, Brooks understands the expectations and dynamics of the board and has knowledge of Chico's's organization, risk-management practices and strategy.
No reason given
In the announcement, Chico's did not explicitly explain the reason for Shelley Broader's move.
Precise information regarding Shelley Broader's future plans was not immediately available.
Chico's said: "Bonnie Brooks, former Vice Chair, President and CEO of Hudson's Bay Company and a current member of the Chico's FAS Board of Directors, has been appointed Interim CEO of the Company, effective immediately. This appointment follows the resignation of Shelley Broader from her roles as CEO and President, and as member of the Board."
Share price decline
The announcement follows a decline in Chico's FAS, Inc.'s share price of 69 percent since December 2015.
Chaired by David Walker
Chico's FAS, Inc. is chaired by David Walker.
David F. Walker has been a director since 2005 and currently serves as Chair of the Board.
In the position of CEO since 2015
Shelley G. Broader has been a director since December 2015 at which time she was also appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President.
Broader joined the Company after having served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Walmart Europe, Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa region since 2014. Walmart is a multinational retail corporation.
She previously served Walmart in various roles, including as President and Chief Executive Officer of Walmart Canada from 2011 to 2014, Chief Merchandising Officer for Walmart Canada from 2010 to 2011, and Senior Vice President for Sam's Club in 2010.
Prior to joining Walmart in 2010, Broader was President and Chief Operating Officer of The Michaels Companies, Inc. ("Michaels"), an arts and crafts retail chain, from 2008 to 2009.
Before joining Michaels, Broader enjoyed a 17-year career with Delhaize Group, a food supermarket retailer, where, under the Hannaford banner, she held a range of leadership roles across the Company's operations, merchandising, distribution, strategy and marketing divisions.
Broader is a member of the board of directors of Raymond James Financial, Inc. and Moffitt Cancer Center's National Board of Advisors.
She also serves on the board of directors and executive committee of the Florida Council of 100 as well as the board of directors of RILA, the Retail Industry Leaders Association.
From July 2014 to November 2015, Broader served on the board of directors of Massmart Holdings, Ltd., a publicly traded South African firm, affiliated with Walmart.
From March 2011 to March 2013, she served on the board of directors of Walmart de Mexico and CentroAmerica, a publicly traded Mexican firm, also affiliated with Walmart.
She is a graduate of Washington State University.
At the time of Shelley Broader's appointment as Chief Executive Officer at Chico's, David F. Walker, Chair of the Chico's FAS Board of Directors, had said: "[W]e are also delighted to welcome Shelley to the Chico's FAS team. She brings a remarkable track record, with a global perspective and a keen understanding of how to engage consumers and partner with suppliers to drive profitable growth in a competitive retail environment. The Company conducted an extensive CEO search and interviewed a number of highly qualified candidates. Shelley distinguished herself as our top choice, having the extensive retail industry expertise, leadership skills and appreciation for superior service that we believe will take Chico's FAS and each of our brands into our next phase of growth and value creation."
At the time of her appointment as Chief Executive Officer at Chico's, Broader had said: "It is an honor to be named President and CEO of Chico's FAS. I am thrilled to lead such a dynamic team. The Company has made great strides in improving its operating foundation and benefits from a powerful portfolio of brands, each with a unique identity and opportunity for growth. I look forward to working with the Chico's FAS Board, its Brand Presidents, members of the Executive Committee, and team of associates. I share their passion for superior customer service and applaud the technology and other initiatives underway to improve service and efficiencies. Given the Company's many strengths, I have great confidence that we can continue to grow and succeed, driving value for our shareholders and delivering on our brand promise to customers through Chico's FAS's dedicated employees.".
Push-out Score determined
The Push-out Score™ determined by exechange gauges the pressure surrounding the management change on a scale of 0 to 10.

What goes behind Beyonce's empire building seems, to the untrained eye, quite a mystery. But if you really want to know what goes down, here's your chance. In a newly posted YouTube video, Bey's mom Tina Knowles, offered up the opportunity for one lucky fan to spend the day backstage with the style team to experience "tour life" on the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour when it stops on July 1 in Los Angeles. All you have to do is go to Charitybuzz and make a bid for the valued $25,000 "donated" prize.
The video definitely makes the opportunity enticing when you add glittery costumes, cheering fans, enthusiastic dancers, and a smiling Beyonce to the mix. But the big question: Would you pay to work for Queen Bey for the day?

"We love it, we are so pleased with them. I cried lots!" – Hannah
In December, we photographed our second wedding at Brockencote Hall – the day after our first! Hannah and Grant had booked the Saturday between Christmas and New Year and as we had worked there the previous day (see Liz and John's blog post), we took the opportunity to stay the night. After a soak in the bath and Brockencote's fantastic cooked breakfast, we were ready for day two at this lovely Worcestershire venue.
In contrast to the previous day's mixed weather, the Saturday was clear, bright and sunny, with barely a cloud in the sky all day. It was cold of course, but for a December day the weather was simply gorgeous.
All of our work for this wedding was to be at Brockencote, so we had no driving to do at all. We met with the couple around midday when Hannah arrived with her bridesmaids to start their preparations. Hair and makeup had already been done, so it was really just a case of final touches and getting their dresses on.
Like the previous day, the ceremony was set for 2pm and again we had two really nice registrars conducting the service and the room was packed with guests.
Following the wedding ceremony came the drinks reception and this took place in the main bar area. With it's large windows and slatted blinds, it made for some very dramatic pictures in the bright afternoon sun.
The last hour of daylight is known in photography and film circles as 'magic' or 'golden' hour and on this wedding there could not have been a better description. As we took Hannah and Grant for a tour of the venue grounds, we had the most gorgeous golden light to work with. It was very different to the same time the previous day, but just as beautiful.
Onto the meal and for this Hannah and Grant had decorated the tables with with a theme of horse-racing. Each guest had a personalised brochure, featuring the menu and also a form-sheet of each guest as though they were race horses. Very funny and nicely done. We were particularly happy to see one of our pictures from Hannah and Grant's pre-wedding shoot adorning one of the brochure pages 🙂
Following the meal and speeches we moved into the evening party. The couple's first dance was followed by a performance by ex-One True Voice singer Matt Johnson. We've met Matt at weddings in the past and he's always good fun to work with and a great singer.
As we wound up our coverage and said our goodbyes, we came away from Brockencote with a sense that over the last two days, we'd really got to know this venue. It's a place a very much look forward to returning to. And to Hannah and Grant – thank you. You were brilliant to work with and we wish you all the best for the future!

These are times to try cynics' souls
If age alone is not enough, journalism and politics are professions guaranteed to lead to a case of chronic cynicism. Having spent a 30-plus-year career divided between those two pursuits, it's difficult for me to view politics, particularly in Washington, with anything but jaded eyes.
I recognize that such relentless skepticism is unhealthy, so the occasional chance to speak with high school or college students — who still exhibit hope and optimism about government and politics — is a much-needed elixir. They help recalibrate my attitude, at least briefly.
But then comes a spectacle such as Attorney General William Barr's appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee recently, where I watched practiced masters ply their well-honed thespian skills.
Democrats brought varying degrees of commitment to their assigned roles during Barr's guest-starring turn on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Kamala Harris of California offered a convincing portrayal of a prosecutor, complete with knowing nods and dismissive asides. Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii had the juiciest lines, but she was curiously still on book, reading her part with little conviction. Calling a U.S. attorney general a liar should be done with more than the casual air of someone commenting on the weather. Barr's performance was unsteady as he waited, often in vain, for his cue to emerge, but Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has his "outraged and offended" routine down pat.
Why were Democrats furious with Barr for his four-page summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report and Barr's pre-release news conference? Because he set the narrative. They wanted to set the narrative! How dare he steal their thunder.
The New York Times recently reported, "As Speaker Nancy Pelosi urges caution on impeachment, rank-and-file House Democrats are agonizing over the prospect of trying to oust President Trump, caught between their sense of historic responsibilities and political considerations in the wake of the special counsel's damning portrait of abuses."
The notion that anyone in Congress is "agonizing" over "their sense of historic responsibilities" was comical to me. Try as I might, I detect no authentic outrage over the Mueller report by seasoned Democrats such as Pelosi of California, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California or House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York, whose feud with Trump is personal and goes back decades. There is simply applause to be earned from a grateful Democratic base.
When it's their turn, Republicans will be just as happy to switch roles, as will happen in the coming months when more details arise about the genesis of the Trump-Russia probe. Republicans are no less driven by the temperature of their base. But Republicans in Congress will dump the president in a heartbeat if his poll numbers among the GOP faithful go south.
But then I stop and chide myself. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe my cynicism runs too deep. I remind myself that I personally know members of Congress who are sincere and do good things for their constituents. I try to tell myself that maybe the Democrats' outrage over Trump, Barr and the Mueller report is real.
Before long, though, my cynicism owns me again. I try to exorcise the demon, but it materializes with every congressional hearing, every Washington news conference, every campaign stump speech. What I see is not good government, just poll-tested show business.
Still, we can't all be cynics. Politicians need the trusting and the innocent. Perhaps this is why the parties target the youth vote, and some even want to lower the voting age to 16, before pessimism takes root.
Democratic partisans and Never-Trumpers will naturally cheer the coming hearings on obstruction of justice and other Mueller report matters. But I particularly envy the true believers, the Americans who will watch the proceedings believing they are witnessing history unfold. In their eyes, Democratic members of Congress will be rising to meet their "historic responsibilities."
I'll watch the same hearings and seeing nothing more than the latest chapters of the "Trump-Russia Collusion and Obstruction Show," a Partisan Political Production that was almost derailed when the attorney general exercised script approval over last month's blockbuster finale. No worries. It's been renewed for additional episodes — with a guarantee through 2020.

Offshoot Beer Co. Fashionably Late
What the brewers say
"Juicy, hazy, double dry-hopped East Coast–style IPA showing up at just the right time to the party with Citra, El Dorado, and Mandarina Bavaria hops. Brewed with 2-row, pale wheat, and rolled oats, fermented with S-04, unfiltered and canned."
What our panel thought
Aroma: "Lots of tropical going on. Soft orange and grapefruit notes with a touch of pale malt sweetness to provide balance. Grapefruit with a twist of canned pineapple blends together nicely."
Flavor: "Extremely reminiscent of canned pineapple-orange juice without the extreme tartness. Bready malt balance is well executed letting the hops shine without allowing the lingering bitterness to overwhelm things. A chewy texture on the end but not heavy."
Overall: "Overall balance is very good with just enough bitterness to clean the palate. The aroma grows on you. The bright hops are present, but not the star, and it could use higher attenuation."
