Swimming has actually reached be just one of the most healing types of exercise that there is, it's very easy on the joints so also individuals with minimal mobility can participate and also take pleasure in. There can be no better really feeling than taking place holiday as well as discovering a lovely coastline to kick back on and also appreciate the serenity and relaxation that selects it, and after that going for a swim in the sea in your new swimsuit
When you circumnavigate the globe and also check out a lot of the attractive coastlines you could be forgiven for assuming you were witnessing a style parade of females's swimsuit. Women's swimsuit allows organisation and also if you mark down the money invested in male swimsuit the swimwear market faces hundreds of millions of bucks.
The ladies's swimsuit market is a reasonably young one, with the boom period actually being the 1950's – 60's which saw the surge of the swimsuit. Since those days women's swimwear has actually come a long way with every one of the top brand name developers currently having their very own series of women's swimsuit.
Gucci, Dolce & Gabanna, Chanel and DKNY swimwear is all incredibly popular as these designers have know that there is even more to life than just price cut females swimsuit, females want a little design with their swimsuit too, plus the truth that these designers now create arrays that come in all shapes and sizes to cater for all facets of the ladies's swimsuit market. You can obtain top of the array swimwear for lounging by the pool or on the beach looking elegant and refined but you can likewise obtain the price cut ladies's swimsuit for playing by the swimming pool or going for a swim, which although might not be rather as classy or refined still have that touch of course regarding them in addition to the very important developer name tag.
It is very important to pick the right costume for the holiday or task that you have in mind. If you are going to be frolicking on the beach and playing in the sea, or taking place a watercraft holiday which needs you to be involved in some type of activity or other it seems crazy to pay leading buck for swimwear when a standard costume will certainly be more than adequate for the task. Similarly if you are going to be rested on the deck of a majestic cruise ship cruising the Caribbean you may intend to look your very best for the duration of your vacation and also spend a little bit much more on your swimsuit, take the following action up to an item of designer swimwear.
Less expensive swimwear normally is not as good as the garments made by the large brand developers, price cut women's swimwear has a tendency to lose its shape quicker than the better quality swimwear readily available on the marketplace because of the textile and product utilized in the manufacture. Getting the appropriate balance of elasticines into the design of the swimsuit is vital as the outfit has reached be a comfy fit along with being not too revealing. Various other considerations that need to be considered when getting your swimsuit is the density of the material that comprises the garment, costumes that are made of a thicker product may be suitable for swimming in and also likewise swimsuit made from a thinner more revealing material may not be ideal for walking around the top deck of a cruise liner.
Swimsuit is really matter of preference and also conditions, as long as you really feel comfortable in whatever condition you are in when using your outfit is the consideration. Discount ladies's swimwear might not constantly be the answer similarly developer ladies's swimsuit.

Why are Americans so frightened of immigrants?
America's current and former first ladies are weighing in on the "zero tolerance" policy that has contributed to nearly 2,000 children being taken from their parents at the U.S. Mexico border. USA TODAY
This letter to the editor reflects the opinions of its author, Patti Shelton.
Unless we are directly descended from the indigenous Native American people, every one of our ancestors, without exception, immigrated to this country.without being invited. Each wave of immigrants did the jobs no one else wanted, and each wave strengthened our nation.
Fear-mongering around immigration is false. No one is coming to take your job. You don't want the jobs that most migrants perform. What you do want is cheap food that comes from migrant labor, and cheap contracting work that is girded by the same labor.
Men, women and children from south of our border are simply people like us with the same hopes, dreams and plans. We have no more to fear from them than we do criminals whose families have lived in this country for generations.
More: An immigration reality check
Put aside this fear of the stranger. No one is coming to get you; they are coming to join you. A sane, comprehensive set of immigration laws could avoid the horror we have on our border right now.

On the corner of Commissioner and Miriam Makeba Street, is the border of Joburg's first Chinatown, home to some super delicious restaurants and some really interesting shops, all of which are really authentic and even better really cheap. One of my favourite shops is called Sui Hing Hong. It's filled with the most interesting looking teas, super cheap frozen meals…and the craziest assortment of dangerous looking fire works the size of a toddler.
The store is family owned and by the looks of it has been there for a really long time, the owners English isn't so great so be prepared to point and smile!

Is a Personal Branding Session Right For You?
|Is a Personal Branding Session Right For You?
A Personal Branding Session is more customized than a headshot session, so there are lots of factors to consider including the location(s), outfits, branding colors your brand messaging, etc. Our pre-shoot consultation is more involved and in depth during the pre-planning stages. We help you decide how to best translate your brand into images that you can use on social media, your website and in advertising to help you connect with your ideal client. Each brand is different so each session is personalized.
Personal branding also differs from our regular sessions because we include the digital files. You will end up investing more into this type of session than you would with a headshot session, simply because you're getting a wider variety of images, and more time spent with planning, consulting, and finally, shooting. The end goal is to help you be more profitable in your business, so think of these images as a true investment in your brand.
If you have more questions about how the investment of personal branding will bring value to your business, please call us at 609-462-1519. Make sure you visit the blog for more tips on personal branding photography. http://www.dianaplangphotography.com/diana-p-lang-photography-blog

A good story can almost always make a location interesting. But some locations are more fun to start with.
Favorite Dungeon Type/Location
Filled with magic and wonder, not one is the same, it is a classic location that needs to be in every campaign. The mystical wizard tower.
Once in sight the hero's know something is up. Why is this random 8 story high tower standing in the middle of the desert? What is inside? Is it still inhabited, and more important will there be treasure?
This location is the perfect place to dive into the strange and weird stuff of the world. Maybe there are no stairs in the tower. Maybe once inside you see there are no floors above you and you can only use the ladder to go downstairs. After descending a whole session the PC's reach to main floor again.
The things living inside can be so random as you like. Things created by the wizard like Golems or enslaved pixies, maybe behind a door is a vault filled with golden dolphins. Nothing makes sense and it shouldn't.
It is the perfect opportunity to use the monsters you want to use but never get the change to and to test the players as well with some nice puzzles or riddles.
And that's why the wizard tower is my favorite dungeon.

Best Christmas Holiday City Breaks for Families in US
You may think there is no difference, but some cities are great, and some are the ultimate family trip destinations for experiencing the best Christmas holiday getaway. There is plenty of family attractions all over the East Coast. We have picked the best family vacation itinerary attractions for budget travelers in the most family-friendly cities in the US. Read on and get ready for the perfect family time this winter holiday season!
San Francisco, California family vacation
San Francisco has a lot to offer for families with young children, teens, and even toddlers. It is easy to travel here with infants as well, as most places in San Francisco offers free parking, so visiting museums, parks, and other attraction will be no problem. You can also get into the old cable car to get around! From Golden Gate Park with its many attractions to Walt Disney family museum, everyone has something to do here. If your kids want to spend their day in an amusement park, San Francisco will be the perfect place to be – the Pier 39 has all you can imagine. To wrap up the day, go to Chinatown with its colorful lanterns, the smell of fresh dumplings and sweets in tea houses and enjoy the Eastern culture in the heart of the West.
San Diego, California vacation package DIY
Who needs a San Diego package holidays when your family is unique? DIY your own family trip and find the best deals, handpicked and enjoyed only by you. Visit the century-old Belmont Amusement Park or see Balboa dancers mastering the nuances of the dance in Balboa Park. Spend a day outdoors watching tide pools and exhibits, taste the seafood near Shelter Island and watch the sun go down at Sunset Cliffs. Fresh air, the right sizing of the city and location by the coast make San Diego one of the top destinations for a family trip.
If one city calls for a "family friendly" label, then it is Chicago. From the Navy Pier to Millenium Park and Shedd Aquarium, Chicago provides loads of attractions for every family member, no matter the age and interests. You can grab an original rainbow cone at Navy Pier, shop around with your family and take the must-have selfie with Cloud Gate in the background. But there is a lot more to it; Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the Crown Fountain and Lurie Garden, among many other awesome attractions are granted to entertain you all day long. For budget travel, remember that Shedd Aquarium has free admission days listed on their website, while the 4D theatre is free for the basic viewing when purchasing the ticket.
Washington, D.C.
If you want to provide your kids with some knowledge of the US and show them the White House, Washington is a place to go. Large, yet airy and dense of parks, it has a lot to offer to those seeking a bit more of an educational trip. You can visit museums specialized in the US history called Smithsonian Institutional Office and just spend amazing time in Washington's green areas and amusement parks.
New York
From Frank Sinatra to Kevin getting lost in NY Christmas spirit alone, New York has something to offer not only for adults but also for kids. It is exceptionally welcoming for families with pets. Starting with climbing up on the crown of the Statue of Liberty, continuing with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and finishing off with a relaxing day at the Central Park, it is hard to find a better destination for a family city getaway. Do not forget to take your dog with you – at the Central Park, dogs are allowed off-leash between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and then 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. In the middle of the day, you can leash your pet and enjoy your time with family for almost free – just check what activities are hosted beforehand. If you happen to love diversity and want to try some new foods, then Chinatown will top your family's list. Pork buns, dumplings, and hand-pulled noodles are must, and you can also get some vegan bubble tea, or shop around in markets for everything starting from dried fish to herbs and spices. To hang out with locals, go to Columbus Park for playing Tai Chi, chess or mahjong. Still craving some nature? Check out the Bronx Zoo – the largest metropolitan zoo is free on Wednesdays, but if you cannot make it, ask for the general admission ticket for half the price of the standard ticket.
Seattle, Washington
Your family will love the Museum of Pop Culture, and you will have a great time exploring the pop culture form a little bit more scientific perspective. Bundle the museum attendance for free on Thursday with the Museum of Flight and Pacific Science center for the ultimate winter holiday vacation. With Vietnamese restaurants popping up all around, you must try Pho along with the well-known favorite dessert of Obama Fran's Chocolates.
No matter which city you choose to go to, remember to enjoy your time with family. Do not plan too much and run around the museums – instead, experience a little different city culture, try new foods, spend relaxing hours in city parks and go to places you have never been before. Most importantly, do not get stressed out trying to provide your family with the perfect vacation – just plan ahead, get to know the best places and take care of everyone's needs and wants to agree on the places to go to.
Enjoy and be happy with cuddlynest.com

Halloween wasn't the only thing that was spooky about October this year. This month we saw a number of large and sophisticated breaches that certainly have us questioning the state of information security. Despite that, we also saw some valiant attempts to improve processes through new laws, regulations, and tools being created and implemented. Here's what went down in the world of information security news this month.
Big Breaches
- Facebook, still facing scrutiny for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, is back in the news again. Attackers used a vulnerability in Facebook's platform to take over 50 million user accounts. Facebook logged 90 million users out of their accounts as a precaution.
- An attack from Chinese spies impacted 30 United States companies. Servers manufactured for the companies by Chinese organizations included a microchip planted with the intent to compromise supply chains.
- Google is in hot water after waiting a considerable amount of time before announcing a breach that occurred in their social media platform, Google+. Making matters worse, they hid the announcement in a bigger announcement that they were sunsetting the platform. It's pretty scary to think about a Google breach, considering the amount of information they house.
- An incredible 4.5 million records were stolen in the first half of 2018, according to Gemalto. What's worse is that this is a 133% increase from the same time frame in 2017. What does that say? We still have a long way to go in preventing and mitigating breaches.
- Medtronic has recently announced that they will no longer allow pacemaker devices to be updated via the internet. This has likely to have been sparked by increasing concerns that products such as pacemakers and insulin pumps could be hacked.
- The state of California is the first state to enact a law surrounding IoT security. Billions of small, connected devices will be required to add critical features in order to be sold starting in 2020.
- President Trump's administration is warning iPhone users of security risks. Calls Trump has been making to personal friends have been routinely intercepted by China and Russia. Because it's Trump's personal iPhone, all calls can be intercepted as they travel through cell towers, cables, and switches.
Regulations and Best Practices
- With new payment options emerging constantly, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) is expanding its security efforts. This includes contactless payments through mobile phones and internet of things (IoT) devices.
- The city of New York has released a cybersecurity app. Aimed at helping residents increase their own personal security, this app is considered the first of its kind.
- At FRSecure, we often discuss how "certified" and "secure" are often not synonymous. Anthem just agreed to the largest breach settlement in history this month, stemming from a breach that occurred shortly after the company became certified.
Voting Season
- On a hacker forum, US voter registration records across 20 states were found for sale. While it's not the largest leak of voter information we've seen, the sale of these voter records being advertised is certainly a shocking twist.
- West Virginia faced heavy criticism as it prepared to allow absentee ballots via smartphone. This is the first state to deploy a smartphone app for voting, and this is striking fear in cybersecurity activists who are concerned with the security of sending back these ballots.
- Just how secure is the United States voting process? 13 states have machines that produce no auditable paper trail, despite the paper trail being c
rucialin detecting irregularities or hacks.
Understanding information security trends is important. It gives you an idea of what's going on in the industry so you can continue to protect you and your business. Follow FRSecure on Twitter and LinkedIn for consistent updates on information security news like this, and visit our site to learn how your organization can continue to make improvements to its security measures.

Foundation Highlights Year-End Giving OpportunitiesNovember 15, 2018Wes HoltsclawSigma Chi Foundation
With the end of the 2018 calendar year and the holiday season approaching, the Sigma Chi Foundation is highlighting giving opportunities to impact brothers in 2019 and beyond.
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the United States, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable giving season when many people focus on holiday and end-of-year gifts.
Whether a gift as small as $1 or as large as a White Cross Trust level $1,000 donation, a Giving Tuesday contribution to the Sigma Chi Foundation's Annual Fund will immediately benefit brothers through programming available via the Fraternity's leadership and membership development programs and Foundation-sponsored academic scholarships.
On Nov. 27, brothers and friends can make a Giving Tuesday gift using donate.sigmachi.org/givingtuesday and are encouraged to share their gift to Sigma Chi on social media using the hashtags #givingtuesday and #sigsgiveback.
Brothers and sweethearts who use Amazon for holiday shopping and regular purchases can contribute to Sigma Chi using Amazon's Smile program.
By logging into smile.amazon.com and selecting the Sigma Chi Foundation as the designated charity of choice, a percentage of the proceeds from qualified purchases will be donated directly to Sigma Chi by Amazon.
Purchases through Amazon Smile have generated over $1,000 for the Foundation.
Active federal government employees and military personnel can make their tax-deductible contribution to Sigma Chi through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
Raising millions of dollars each year, the CFC utilizes pledges made by federal civilian, postal and military donors during the campaign season each fall to support eligible nonprofit organizations that provide human health and welfare benefits throughout the world.
The CFC is the only authorized charitable giving opportunity recognized in the federal workplace. Federal employees are encouraged to give charitably through this campaign via a payment plan that includes automatic payroll deductions. The Foundation's CFC ID is 60773.
For more information, contact Foundation Associate Director of Development Greg Morgan, SOUTH FLORIDA 2009, at email@example.com.
An IRA gift is an opportunity for brothers and friends to make a tax-free contribution of any amount up to $100,000 annually.
This donation would not be included in the donor's taxable income for federal income tax purposes and would satisfy the required minimum distribution for the year while providing meaningful support to Sigma Chi.
For more information on making a tax-free IRA gift, contact Foundation Director of Legacy Giving John Price, OKLAHOMA STATE 1991, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why Is Content So Important For My Online Marketing?
For various reasons, content marketing is among the leading online advertisement strategies in use today. It is one of the most effective and important ways of acquiring new clients for your business. Basically, content marketing is the technique of interacting with your prospects and patrons without selling. In other words, the strategy may be described as non-interruption marketing. Instead of promoting your goods and services, you are dispensing knowledge to the consumers, hence enlightening them. The strategy is very effective in that it builds trust, passively, between the business and its customers. With this in mind, it is undeniable that content sells, and it sells effectively. So why is this strategy vital to success in online marketing?
It Informs
Publishing content that is informative and interesting helps you to enlighten your potential clients on what you are offering and why they need your products or services. This way, you will have succeeded in creating a demand among the potential customers, a demand the clients did not know they had. This makes this strategy an effective and subtle way of advertising online.
It Builds Credibility
If you publish accurate and informative content for your clients through content marketing, the customers will start to view you as the authority on the subject you major in. As such, the technique will not only earn you trust among your clients but will also make you more credible in their eyes. This increased credibility will, in turn, boost the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns.
It Circulates
By publishing and distributing helpful content, you are essentially tapping into the internet's viral potential. If the content is valuable, it may be republished or shared in various internet areas that you do not know of. This increased exposure will be done by other people. This makes this strategy one of the best marketing strategies on the internet.
It Develops Relationships
If you consistently publish content that is interesting to your readers and potential clients, they tend to give back. Your consistency in delivering helpful content will then earn you their loyalty. It is this loyalty that develops a relationship full of trust between you, the marketer, and your clients. This will in turn lead to increased sales for your business.
Content marketing is a passive technique of advertising online. It capitalizes on building trust between the marketer and the readers. Over the years, it has proven to be one of the best online advertisement techniques.

All mystics will want to get the devotion robe set for a speedup of their spellcasting. This set is relatively cheap (about 42.000 adenna) and can be bought in all starting towns. The set bonus (15% to casting speed) is so good, that there is hardly anything better until c-grade. Other than that, lowlevel mystics need hardly any clothing, as they should never be hit by opponents.
The best no-grade weapons for mystics are either the Crucifix of Blessing or the Voodoo Doll. Both are onehanded and can be combined with a shield. They can be bought in Gludio, Giran and Aden for about a quarter million adenna.
Lowlevel mystics (except orcs) are always played as offensive spellcasters with hit and run. The spellcasters speaks his spell, then runs away until the spell is recharged, at which point the spell is cast again.
With Level 7, one should first maximize Wind Strike, then Ice Bolt. The later should be used first, as it has less damage, but can slow the mobs down, simplifying the run away part of hit and run. Other spells are hardly ever needed until level 20, even if Heal won't hurt to have.
Don't forget to get the buffs from the newbie guide. Especially the first one at level 8, Wind Walk, will be another huge help to the hit and run tactics, while Acumen and Empower will later make the spells faster and stronger.

On Saturday 2 February 2019 Local Police Officers joined partners in Irvine to raise awareness on internet safety and how to spot scams.
Held as part of events for Safer Internet Day, which takes place on 5th February, the event at the Rivergate Centre saw around 400 people speak with police and partners, engage with the interactive displays and take part in an online safety quiz.
Sergeant Jason Peter, Local Authority Liaison Officer in North Ayrshire, said "events like this provide a great opportunity to speak with people, promote ways to keep safe and answer any questions visitors may have.
"Today we were joined by the new North Ayrshire group of Police Scotland Youth Volunteers – a brilliant group of young people who were great engaging with visitors and relaying our safety advice.
Representatives from UK Cyber Specials Cyber Volunteers were able to demonstrate common scams and the need for everyone to Take Five to stop fraud – when you're contacted and asked for personal or financial information, take a step back and think about what's really going on. Listening to your instincts and keeping control of your information will reduce the opportunity of you becoming a victim of fraud.The team from the local O2 store were also on hand to provide advice on how to protect children online and how to make full use of security settings on mobile devices.
If each person we spoke to today passed on the advice they received to 2 people we would reach thousands of people. That's all we ask – tell two and together we can protect many.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak with us today, our partners who joined us and to the team at the Rivergate Centre for their continued support."

HOLLAND, Mich. — While much of the American political class has been consumed with recriminations over the wrenching loss of manufacturing jobs, Chuck Reid has been quietly adding them.
His company, First Class Seating, makes recliner seats for movie theaters here at a factory on the shores of Lake Michigan. Since he bought the business three years ago, its work force has grown to 40 from 15.
But those jobs will be in jeopardy if President-elect Donald J. Trump follows through on his combative promises to punish countries he deems guilty of unfair trade.
Mr. Trump secured the White House in part by vowing to bring manufacturing jobs back to American shores. The president-elect has fixed on China as a symbol of nefarious trade practices while threatening to slap 45 percent punitive tariffs on Chinese imports.
But many existing American manufacturing jobs depend heavily on access to a broad array of goods drawn from a global supply chain — fabrics, chemicals, electronics and other parts. Many of them come from China. At Mr. Reid's factory, imports account for roughly two-thirds of the cost of making a recliner chair.
In short, Mr. Trump's signature trade promise, one ostensibly aimed at protecting American jobs, may well deliver the reverse: It risks making successful American manufacturers more vulnerable by raising their costs. It would unleash havoc on the global supply chain, prompting some multinationals to leave the United States and shift manufacturing to countries where they can be assured of buying components at the lowest prices.
"If you do this tomorrow, you would have a lot of disruption," said Susan Helper, an economist at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. "The stuff that China now makes and the way they make it, it's not trivial to replicate that."
Mr. Reid takes pride in using American products. His designers here in Michigan dreamed up his sleek recliner. Local hands construct the frames using American-made steel, then affix molded foam from a factory in nearby Grand Rapids. They staple upholstery to hunks of wood harvested by timber operations in Wisconsin. They do all this inside a former heating and cooling equipment factory that shut down a decade ago when the work shifted to Mexico.
But the fabric for Mr. Reid's seats arrives from China. So do the electronics in the "magic box" that enables moviegoers to control the recliner. Ditto, the plastic cup holders and the bolts and screws that hold the parts together. The motor is the work of a German company that makes it in Hungary, almost certainly using electronics from China.
How Deals Like Nafta Have Affected U.S. Trade
Trade has contributed to economic growth, but changing dynamics have also prompted concerns about lost jobs and the trade deficit. But when something is manufactured in the United States, it is often made up of parts from around the world.
Mr. Reid estimates that a 45 percent tariff on Chinese wares would raise the costs of making a recliner here by 20 percent.
Tariffs would give his factory an edge against American competitors that import even more from China. But his company would be vulnerable to competitors in Mexico, Colombia and Australia. They would be free to draw on China's supply chain and sell their wares into the American market unhindered.
"Our chair would be priced out of the market," Mr. Reid said. "If it impacts our sales, that puts jobs at risk."
Trade experts dismiss Mr. Trump's threat of tariffs as campaign bluster that will soon give way to pragmatic concerns about growth and employment. Between 1998 and 2006, the imported share of components folded into American manufacturing rose to 34 percent from 24 percent, according to one widely cited study.
International law also limits the scope of what the Trump administration can do. Under the rules of the World Trade Organization, the United States cannot willy-nilly apply tariffs. It must develop cases industry by industry, proving that China is damaging American rivals through unfair practices.
Talk of across-the-board tariffs is "pure theater," said Marc L. Busch, an expert on international trade policy at Georgetown University in Washington. "It's impossible to do. It violates the rule of law."
But Mr. Trump has suggested taking the extraordinary step of abandoning the W.T.O. to gain authority to dictate terms. His successful strong-arming of Carrier, the air-conditioner company, which agreed to keep 1,000 jobs at a plant in Indiana rather than move them to Mexico, attests to his priorities in delivering on his trade promises.
The people advising Mr. Trump on trade have records of advocating a pugnacious response to what they portray as Chinese predations.
There is Dan DiMicco, the former chief executive of the American steel giant Nucor, who has long advocated punitive tariffs on Chinese goods. There is Peter Navarro, a senior policy adviser and co-author of a book titled "Death by China: Confronting the Dragon — A Global Call to Action."
In an email on Friday, Mr. Navarro, the Trump transition team's economic adviser, said that imposing steep tariffs on China was an essential step to begin to address the American trade deficit with China, which reached $365 billion last year. He blamed Chinese trade practices for "destroying entire industries, hollowing out entire communities" and "putting millions out of work."
But Mr. Navarro also cast the threat of tariffs as an opening gambit in a refashioning of trade positions.
"Tariffs are not an end game but merely one of several negotiating tools to bring our trade back into balance," he said, adding that Mr. Trump's administration would do so "in a measured way."
Mr. Navarro's co-author, Greg Autry, a professor at the University of Southern California, said he assumed the Trump camp was dead serious about its threats to impose tariffs on China. The goal is to force manufacturers to come back to the United States as a condition of selling into the American market.
A full-on trade war between the world's two largest economies would cost American jobs in the immediate term, Mr. Autry said, but eventually millions of new ones would be created as the United States again hummed with factory work.
"We moved our supply chain to Asia in about two decades," he said. "You certainly can do it in the U.S. a whole lot faster. It's going to take a few years, but it's going to be a much better America."
Even if factory work does return to the United States, though, that is unlikely to translate into many paychecks. As automation spreads, robots are primed to secure most of the jobs.
At Mr. Reid's factory, talk of a bountiful future through trade barriers resonates as dangerous nonsense. Mr. Reid has a business to run in the here and now. His customers are waiting for product. He must be able to tap the supply chain.
"You can't just turn your ship around and bring that stuff back," he said.
In threatening tariffs, Mr. Trump is wielding a blunt instrument whose impacts are increasingly easy to evade by sophisticated businesses with operations across multiple borders. The geography of global trade is perpetually being redrawn.
In China, factory owners, casting a wary eye on Mr. Trump, are accelerating their exploration of alternative locales with lower-wage workers across Southeast Asia and even as far away as Africa.
In Vietnam, entrepreneurs are preparing for a potential surge of incoming investment from China should Mr. Trump take action.
In Europe, factories that sell manufacturing equipment to China are watching to see if Mr. Trump will unleash trade hostilities that will damage global growth.
"Money and goods will always find their way, regardless of what barriers you put up," said Ernesto Maurer, chairman of SSM, a Swiss maker of textile machinery that operates a factory in China. "You just make it more difficult and more expensive."
The China Supply
In the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, Jiang Jiacheng exudes confidence that China will continue to serve as the factory floor for the world — with tariffs or otherwise.
His company, the Guangzhou Shuqee Digital Tech Company, makes movie chairs, exporting about 20 percent of its wares to the United States. It is an exemplar both of China's manufacturing prowess and of the conditions that make it a competitive threat.
Mr. Jiang pays his factory workers $290 a month. They work six days a week. Lax environmental rules allow him to dispose of pollutants cheaply.
The total cost of making one of his best-selling products, a cloth-lined movie chair, runs $72. He sells it for $116 to wholesalers who export to the United States.
Back in September, Mr. Jiang gathered with other Chinese movie chair manufacturers to discuss the alarming statements coming from Mr. Trump. The consensus view was not to worry.
"Once he takes up the post, he will certainly return things to the normal state," Mr. Jiang said.
Still, he has a backup plan. Even before President Trump entered the lexicon, Mr. Jiang was exploring a transfer of some of his work to lower-cost places like Vietnam.
His company would not be the first to make the journey.
A dozen years ago, the United States Commerce Department accused China of dumping wooden bedroom furniture at below cost. It imposed protective tariffs.
For Lawrence M. D. Yen, who had a furniture factory in southern China, that was the impetus to move to Vietnam. Labor costs were cheaper.
Today, Mr. Yen's company, Woodworth Wooden Industries, operates a factory in Cu Chi, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, a district best known for the elaborate tunnels used by Vietcong guerrillas in their battles against American forces.
This former hive of combat is now the workplace for 5,000 people making sofa beds, recliner chairs and bedroom furniture. Three-fourths of the products are destined for the United States, including Las Vegas casino resorts like Mandalay Bay and the MGM Grand.
Woodworth's plant churns out more than 10,000 three-seater sofas each month. This year, the company opened a second Vietnam factory.
Arithmetic gives Mr. Yen confidence that Mr. Trump's talk will be muted by the realities of the marketplace. Brands that deliver factory-made goods to American retailers have leaned heavily on Asian suppliers to secure low prices.
In pledging to bring manufacturing back, Mr. Trump is effectively pitting the interests of a relatively small group of people — those who work in factories — against hundreds of millions of consumers.
"The retail industry now employs an awful lot more people than apparel industries ever did," said Pietra Rivoli, a trade expert at Georgetown.
Seven years ago, the Obama administration accused China of unfairly subsidizing tires. It imposed tariffs reaching 35 percent. A subsequent analysis by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a nonpartisan think tank, calculated the effect: Some 1,200 American tire-making jobs were preserved, but American consumers paid $1.1 billion extra for tires. That prompted households to cut spending at retailers, resulting in more than 2,500 net jobs lost.
The TAL Group claims to make one of every six dress shirts sold in the United States. It produces finished goods for Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic and J. Crew, operating 11 factories worldwide. If Mr. Trump places tariffs on China, the company will accelerate its shift to Vietnam, said TAL's chief executive, Roger Lee.
If that trade is disrupted, the work would flow to other low-cost countries like Bangladesh, India and Indonesia. Mr. Lee can envision no situation in which the physically taxing, monotonous work of making garments will go to the United States.
"Where are you going to find the work force in the U.S. that is willing to work at factories?" Mr. Lee said.
Supplying the Suppliers
Horgen, a Swiss village on the shores of Lake Zurich, seems far removed from the gritty industrial zones of Asia. With its gingerbread homes and mountain views, it looks more like a resort.
But Horgen is home to SSM, a company that has become an important supplier to Asia. Its machines turn polyester and other synthetic fibers into custom-designed threads. If the rise of textiles in Asia has been a gold rush, this Swiss company has been among those cashing in by making the picks and shovels.
Workers at the factory earn roughly 6,000 Swiss francs ($5,940) a month — some 10 times what SSM pays its workers at its Chinese factory. It makes its most sophisticated components in Switzerland and at another plant in Italy. It uses China for lower-grade machines.
The company sells virtually all of its products abroad, chiefly in Asia. It buys metal parts from the Czech Republic and Poland, electronic components from Malaysia, and electric motors from an American company that makes them at a factory in India. Another American company supplies software.
"There is not a single machine that we have that we are able to build with materials from one country," said Mr. Maurer, the SSM chairman.
If the United States were to impose trade barriers on China, that might slow Chinese demand for Swiss-made textile machinery. That would potentially reduce Swiss purchases of American goods and services.
But Mr. Maurer struggles to see how this would create any jobs in the United States. The American textile industry is small and increasingly dominated by robots. The rest of the world holds billions of hands willing to work cheaply.
"Someone else will pick up the business," Mr. Maurer said. "These markets are very fast."
But the textile and apparel trades are relatively simple businesses. If the cost of making trousers becomes less appealing in China, a room full of sewing machines in Cambodia can quickly be filled with low-wage seamstresses.
Industries involving precision machinery are not so easily reassembled somewhere else. An abrupt change to the economics would devastate factories that could not quickly line up alternative suppliers.
American automakers are especially dependent on the global supply chain. Between 2000 and 2011, the percentage of imported components that went into exported American-made vehicles grew to 35 percent, from 24 percent, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
At EBW Electronics in Holland, Mich., workers in lab coats tend boxy soldering machines as they make circuitry for LED lights that go into cars. It buys tiny parts and slots them into circuit boards, which are sold to major automakers. Some 80 percent of the components are imported from China.
Even that number fails to capture the degree to which the company — and its 240 workers — depend on unfettered trade.
Pat LeBlanc, the chairman, pointed to a nib of metal on a circuit board. The silicon was extracted at a plant in Minnesota, then processed into a thin wafer at another factory in Massachusetts. The wafer was shipped to China for testing, cut into pieces at another Chinese factory, and then delivered to the Philippines for a chemical process. Then it went back to China to be put onto a reel that can be inserted into soldering machines here in Michigan.
"It literally is a global supply chain," Mr. LeBlanc said.
Mr. Reid, the owner of the theater seating company, could not imagine having to buy everything from American suppliers.
Buying upholstery domestically would raise his fabric costs as much as 40 percent.
"All the componentry, all the cords, it all comes from China," he said. "I don't know that you could ever get all of that made in the United States. Some of these industries have just been abandoned."
He wandered into the paint shop, where a worker was spraying chair backs. He picked up a can of paint and read the label: "Made in the U.S.A., with Global Materials."

Mad. Sq. Hort Symposium – Planting the Future: Urban Trees
Mad. Sq. Hort Symposium 2018:
Planting the Future: Urban Trees
Monday, November 5, 2018
Eataly Rooftop
200 5th Ave
Free Entry, Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com
Join us for our first Mad. Sq. Hort symposium, Planting the Future: Urban Trees. In celebration of our recent Tree Conservation Plan we are inviting scholars, horticulturalists, scientists, and tree enthusiasts to a forum that seeks to drive sustainable solutions to global issues. Experts from Harvard University, Cornell University, and the Natural Areas Conservancy will explore the history and development of urban planning in relation to trees. National Geographic photographers will share images and stories of trees around the world. There will also be an opportunity to be part of the conversation as experts from NYC Parks, Green-Wood and the American Society of Landscape Architects discuss what can be done to provide a bright future for urban trees. A tour of Madison Square Park will follow, led by a Mad. Sq. Park gardener, and will shed light on the conservancy's efforts to plan for the future of the canopy.
Trees serve a myriad of functions in an urban environment: They clean our air, they cool our streets, and they create a beautiful cityscape in which to live. Population growth presents challenges not only for the people living in cities – but for the trees as well. Few trees are adapted to tolerate urban conditions, and space to plant new trees is limited. As the need for trees grows, so do the challenges. Parks, public gardens and development projects are grappling with these issues. What can we do to share our cities with more trees? How is climate change impacting trees now and in the future?
This event is free and open to the public.

Masturbation origin stories are my favourite type of New Relationship Information to acquire. Finding out how a new friend or lover discovered their body and sexual expression can be a fun, sexy icebreaker, as everyone has such variations in experiences. I was lucky enough to find out about jerking off by being told, unprompted, by my mother, but that doesn't mean I avoided embarrassing masturbation memories. Here are the five everyday things I used while growing up to help me discover what sensations my body enjoyed.
Other than your hand, I DO NOT recommend using the other items on this list as sex toys.
Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser
The Power Cleanser, produced by Neutrogena and promoted by Vanessa Hudgens in the beginnings of her post-High School Musical acting career, was my first intro to clit vibrations. Originally the Cleanser is supposed to help scrub your face, but as a middle schooler with no sense of hygiene, this thing was only ever used for my genitals. I remember being scared to try it as if a siren would go off in my parent's room and they would immediately know I had used the facial product in an attempt to rumble my bits. I would press the edge of the handle against my clitoral hood to try to get an orgasm out of the weak vibrations. I liked the sensation but that moment never came (pun very much intended.) I only used the Power Cleanser a couple times after that, but it definitely helped breed my curiosity for vibrations. It was my first point of reference for vibes, which eventually lead to me finding my favourite genital jigglers. However, for the same price, I probably could have gotten a decent bullet and a better time.
My Hand
I was around eight years old when my mother tucked me into bed one night and decided to tell me where my clit was. "There's a place you can touch, down here *gestures to her pelvic bone*, that feels really good." While the word clit wasn't explicitly said, looking back now, it was definitely implied. Having only said that simple statement she said good night, turned off my lamp and left the room. Obviously, I wanted to feel Really Good too, so I immediately let my curious right hand explore my pelvic region; I've been masturbating with my hand ever since. External clit play, right from the get-go, was imperative to discovering how my body liked to be touched. It's been the best and most reliable way for me to come, as well as fall asleep. Since buffin' the muffin' began as a bedtime routine, coming this way makes me blissfully sleepy.
Harry Potter Wand
As interested as I was in finding new masturbation techniques, I was also enthralled with the fictional universe of Harry Potter. I was obsessed. I was the kid who occasionally wore her custom satin Hufflepuff robe to school, hand carved wooden wand in hand. I had a whole trunk dedicated to my memorabilia, which housed everything from butterbeer bottles to potions books. Amongst the knick knacks was a cheap collapsible wand from Chapters, which I decided looked interesting enough to be one of my first ventures into penetrative "sex toys". I remember gingerly inserting the textured handle into my vag sans lube, which surprisingly did not injure me. It felt good, but it wasn't the mind-blowing orgasmic sensation I was looking for. Which makes sense because it was definitely not made for insertion. Perhaps I would have been better off with actual textured fantasy sex toys, like the Lovecrafters Unicorn Horn or the Beau.
Razor Handle
As the HP wand wasn't up to my liking, I was still on the search for a good feeling insertable. I couldn't buy anything online, as I didn't have a credit card and was definitely not 18 yet. My next best option was to examine every random object I had and if it looked up to the task, put it in my vagina. I had a set of razors that looked suitable enough, as it has small grooves in the handle. I picked out a fresh one, pulled up some porn on my iPod Touch and went to town. At this point, you might be thinking that using an object with blades is probably not the best thing to use to pleasure yourself. You are absolutely correct, but I didn't give a fuck at the time as the texture of the handle felt surprisingly great. I managed to have many great orgasms with that off-brand pink razor until it was discarded because of it's hard to clean surface. I'm happy I ended up chucking it though, I really should not have been using it around my vulva for anything other than shaving. If I could travel back in time and give lil' Suz the sex toy she needed then, I would pass either the Vixen Mustang or the FF Stronic Drei, as they are both textured, but have the added G-spot curve.
Fake Flower Bouquet Handle
Continuing on with the trend of sticking random things in my vagina, my masturbation infatuation didn't stop at my own personal objects. This story is my most embarrassing jerking off memory to date, as this item was a part of my grandmother's guest room decor. I was stranded at my grandmother's house one summer during middle school, horny and bored as pre-teen hormones dictate. My hand is always ready, willing and available, but I wanted something inside me, I had a dire need to be penetrated. Surveying the room, my eyes landed on a bouquet of fake flowers placed in a vase on top of the dresser (I can get pretty creative in dire circumstances.) Since they probably had not been touched in years, – fake flowers are really only there for aesthetic purposes – I decided to investigate a little further. I pulled the flowers out of the vase to find a textured, plastic stem connecting all the flowers together in the shape of a handle. The solid piece of plastic was about the thickness of a thumb, which made my pervy mind overjoyed. I washed it the bathroom sink before heading back to my room to test it out. Unlike the razor, it wasn't comfortable. I stopped as soon as I realized there was no enjoyment to be had, and embarrassingly washed the handle and placed in back in the vase. I wish I had the FF Moody or the Icicle Glass Dildo instead, cause I would have avoided feeling embarrassed whenever I stayed at my grandmother's house thereafter.
What types of non-sex toy specific objects have you tried to masturbate with?
