Guess said on Tuesday its co-founder, Paul Marciano, had resigned as the company's executive chairman after a special committee completed an investigation into allegations of improper conduct.

Marciano gave up his day-to-day responsibilities at the company on an unpaid basis in February, days after model and actress Kate Upton tweeted, accusing Marciano of using his power to harass women.

The fashion retailer said on Tuesday that many of the allegations, which included inappropriate comments and texts and unwanted advances, could not be corroborated.

However, Guess said its investigation found that Marciano on certain occasions exercised poor judgment in his communications with models and photographers.

Guess and Marciano entered into non-confidential settlement agreements totaling $500,000 that resolve claims by five individuals arising out of allegations of inappropriate conduct, the company said in a regulatory filing.

Guess appointed Paul Marciano's brother, Maurice Marciano, as chairman of the board. Paul Marciano will remain on the board, it said.

7 Fitness Influencers Show How One Small Trick Can Change the Look of Your Butt in Seconds

Selena Gomez Is Obsessed With This Cool Mall Brand

Floral Denim Jacket

I've Never Felt More Body Confident Than When I Put on This Swimsuit

Let's be honest: Summer pieces are basically ranked in order of opacity, from slightly sheer to completely transparent. Once temps start to rise, there tends to be a drop in fabrics (both in excess and in weight), and subsequently, an upswing in sartorial challenges.
It's a problem that affects the Hollywood set, too—but luckily, some of our favorite celebs have figured out stylish fixes to common sheer-clothing problems. At an evening event, Rashida Jones's look was sheer genius—and a lesson in how to pull of a see-through dress like a pro. She gave her sexy black lace midi-length dress a polished (and slightly offbeat) spin by layering it with a crisp white shirtdress.

As major proponents of public decency, we took a sampling of summer's shockingly sheer offerings, which range from open-knit crochet tops to unlined dresses, and coupled each problematic piece with a solution for what to wear underneath. No risky business here.

The Problem: A Scandalously Sexy Black Lace Number

Chances are, a black bra and a black micro skirt underneath a sexy lace LBD won't sit well at the office or Sunday's family brunch. The solution: Knock down the sex appeal with a sleek, chic styling option, such as a crisp white shirtdress.

Shop the look: Miguelina lace maxi dress, $450; net-a-porter.com. Thom Browne shirt dress, $480; farfetch.com.

The Problem: A See-Through Black Blouse

You have a transparent black blouse—now what? First, stay away from nudes or white layers underneath. The goal is to cover up, not tease the eye. The solution: this T by Alexander Wang black bra top that not only looks good layered under a blouse, but also worn alone.

Stylish art you can wear comfortably

If you have never visited Oslo, there has never been a better time to plan a trip than now. As the summer months beckon, the surrounding forests become lush and verdant offering a scenic backdrop for the hustle of sailboats that make their way into the fjord.

For those who haven’t been to Oslo in a decade or so, they will return to find a city transformed. No longer is it in the shadow of Stockholm and Copenhagen. Now the reinvigorated waterfront and modern architecture has breathed new life into the city making it compelling to stay a while even if it is just for a day.

Must stroll

Travelling can be stressful enough without the added headache of misplacing your property. If you have travel insurance you may be able to make a claim, but when the item has sentimental value or another compelling reason, recovering the item may be preferable.

If you have found some lost property and wondering what to do with it – i.e. hand it in at the local police station or ask around – it’s worth checking the MissingX lost and found cloud-based platform. It is the largest in the world and to date has recovered 1.6 million items for the owners.

MissingX is free to use and easy to register lost property or to check if yours has been handed in virtually (they don’t actually store the items themselves).

Ole-Ray Grodset CEO of MissingX, said:

The service is free for both police and members of the public to search, register, claim and report lost or found property.

While it's often hard to stay motivated to exercise during pregnancy, particularly as your belly gets bigger and bigger, a new study suggests it might be worth the effort, reducing the length of labour by almost an hour.

The research, published in the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology looked at the influence of an exercise program completed during pregnancy on the duration of labour in healthy pregnant women.

A team from the Technical University of Madrid randomly assigned 508 pregnant women into either a control group or an exercise group. Mums assigned to sweat during their pregnancy completed a moderate aerobic exercise program three days a week.

As well as examining the length of labour of mums in the two groups, researchers also looked at other factors including mode of delivery, gestational age, maternal weight gain, pre-term delivery, use of epidural, and birth weight.

The team found that mums who exercised three times a week had labours that were on average 50 minutes shorter. "A supervised physical exercise program throughout pregnancy decreased the duration of the first phase of labor as well as total time of the first two phases together, leading to a decrease in total labor time," the authors write.

In addition, women who exercised were less likely to have an epidural and less likely to have babies with neonate macrosomia or bubs over eight pounds.

It's not the first time research has highlighted the benefits of staying active during pregnancy, when it comes to duration of labour. An observational study published in the journal Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica in 2009, found that first time mums with good aerobic fitness also had shorter labours.

In their guidelines on exercise during pregnancy, The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) note that: "all women with uncomplicated pregnancy should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength conditioning exercise."

RANZCOG advises that women should be encouraged to continue their established exercise routines during pregnancy, while inactive women can commence exercise within certain parameters. "While obese or previously inactive women, and women with pregnancy complications, may benefit from exercise it is important that evaluation on an individual basis is undertaken before commencing an exercise program that can be followed during pregnancy and beyond," the organisation notes.

RANZCOG specifically advises:

Frequency: Pregnant women should aim to be physically active on most, but preferably all days of the week.
Duration: Exercise sessions should be around 30 mins. "While no evidence exists for an upper limit to exercise duration, it is probably unwise to extend exercise duration beyond 60 minutes per session, unless the intensity is relatively light," they note.
Intensity of exercise will depend on a woman's pre-pregnancy fitness and exercise regime. "For previously inactive women commencing an exercise program during pregnancy, maintaining a 'moderate' intensity is adequate to obtain benefits for health and well-being. Likewise, a woman accustomed to moderate intensity exercise pre-pregnancy should aim to maintain this level of intensity during pregnancy," RANZCOG notes.
Mode: The organisation recommends women engage in both aerobic and strengthening exercises. This can include walking at a "brisk" pace, swimming or use of a stationary bike. In addition, "Women should aim for two sessions of strengthening exercises per week, on non-consecutive days, covering the main muscle groups of the body."
Expectant women should also be aware of these warning signs to cease exercise and seek medical attention:

• Chest pain  
• Unexplained shortness of breath
• Dizziness,
• Feeling faint or headache
• Muscle weakness
• Calf pain, swelling or redness
• Sudden swelling of the ankles, hands or face
• Vaginal bleeding or amniotic fluid loss
• Decreased fetal movement
• Uterine contractions or pain in the lower back, pelvic area or abdomen

Children are swiping on books in an attempt to turn pages, teachers have said, as they are confusing them with mobile phones and iPads.

There is a "disturbing" trend of children in reception and at nursery school picking up library books and trying to "swipe left", delegates at the UK's National Union of Teachers (NUT) annual conference in Brighton were told.

During a debate about libraries, Jennifer Bhambri-Lyte, a delegate from North Somerset, told of "happy childhood memories" of "running into a library, snuggling in a corner with a book, cuddling up to mum, turning the pages, gazing at the pictures".

She told the conference: "Kindles and iPads are wonderful things, but many of my friends talked about the smell of a book, finding tickets and receipts that someone had left as a bookmark, echoes of all the people that had been there before."

Ms Bhambri-Lyte went on: "I've taught both nursery and reception and I personally still find it disturbing to see a child pick up a book and try to swipe left." She said that books are a now luxury that many struggling families cannot afford, and that libraries can act as a "pair of armbands".

A previous report by the National Literacy Trust (NLT) advised parents to turn to iPads and Kindles to get boys interested in reading, amid fears that large numbers of children are shunning books at a young age.

Their research found that children aged three to five often read for longer and had a better grasp of vocabulary when accessing touch-screen technology. Tablet computers had a particular impact on groups that are traditionally most resistant to reading – particularly boys and infants from poor families, the study added.

During the debate, NUT delegates raised concerns about a "shocking hammering" of library services in the last decade. Proposing the motion, Jonathan Reddiford, from North Somerset, argued that the number of public libraries has fallen by almost 900 in the last 10 years, with more expected to go.

"That is a shocking, shocking hammering of vital public services for many, many people," he said.


At least 441 community libraries have closed in the past decade, with a further 149 under threat, the conference was told. The drop in professional librarians has led to a 93 per cent increase in volunteers working in libraries "resulting in an erosion of a longstanding knowledge and skill base which threatens the quality of the service they provide", the motion said. The NUT resolved to campaign for properly funded libraries which employ professional librarians.

Kevin Courtney, general secretary of the NUT, said: "Libraries are an essential part of school and community life and as relevant now as they ever have been. Tragically, over the past decade the number of school libraries staffed by qualified librarians has declined rapidly.

"Reading for pleasure is a skill for life and is consistently shown to be one of the most powerful springboards for children's engagement with learning, thinking and creating.

 "The Government needs to put libraries, books and reading for pleasure centre-stage in its vision for children and young people."

A UK Department for Education spokesperson said: "We want all children to have the opportunity to read widely and earlier this year we announced a multi-million pound fund to make sure pupils can master the basics of reading."

Before she even became a mother, Clare knew she was going to speak to her babies from the "get go".

As an Early Childhood Educator, Clare believes babies absorb language "like a sponge", so she was keen to help them soak up as much as possible.

But Clare didn't just focus on the words she used.

She was also mindful of the way she spoke, choosing to speak in a calm voice while smiling a lot.

"A smile injects encouragement into your voice. It says, 'I'm here and I'm interested in you'. Mostly, for my children, it led to alert and plentiful interactions."

Clare believes the joy she conveyed while smiling was also "contagious" and led to lots of smiles and laughter in return from her babies.

But, like any parent, Clare wasn't always calm and happy.

Whenever she felt stressed or exhausted, she found she spoke "harshly" - usually to herself.

"This always led to stressed and tearful babies, who were then incredibly difficult to settle."


"While a positive voice helps a child to feel safe, encourages interaction and supports their developing attachment, a negative tone is more likely to create a sense of caution and withdrawal - especially when that's the norm."

New research supports Clare's beliefs.

Published in the journal Infancy in July this year, the research suggests that babies can tell if you're smiling when you're talking - even if they don't understand what you're saying.

For the study, Dr Titia Benders, Lecturer in Linguistics and Deputy-Director of the Child Language Lab at Macquarie University, found that six month-old babies preferred listening to sentences with raised spectral frequencies (which happens when you're smiling), rather than lower ones (which happen when you frown).

You can try it yourself by making the sound 'sss' while smiling versus frowning. When smiling, you'll notice the sound is higher in frequency.

"Adults may think you have to speak in a high-pitched voice to attract babies' attention," said Dr Benders.

"These findings suggest parents can mix it up if they're trying to get their child's attention - namely by smiling when they speak."

These findings make sense to Kirstin Bouse.

The clinical psychologist and author of The Conscious Mother says babies are "extremely attuned" to their mothers and know if their mum is smiling when talking to them.

Naturally, she believes it's best to speak to babies in a "warm and loving" voice.

While talking to your baby in a loving voice is a great way to help her feel safe and calm, Bouse says there are plenty of other ways you can reassure your little one.

Eye contact and touch are pivotal.

"In fact, there is a fair amount of research from years gone by clearly demonstrating how important gentle and loving physical touch for a baby to thrive.

"Chatting, singing, playing, cuddling, tickling, holding and baby massage are wonderful ways to connect and communicate with your baby."

But, just because babies can tell when you're smiling, doesn't mean you have to slap on a grin every time you go near your little one.

"We cannot be perfect and we simply don't have to be perfect," Bouse reassures.

"We can raise very happy, loving and capable children by being 'good enough'. So raising your voice now and then is not something to beat yourself up about."

A team of scientists may have discovered the earliest age at which a person can reason logically: 12 months.

For decades, psychologists have considered language a necessary and essential indicator of inferential thinking - the complex ability to "read between the lines," to reason one's way to a correct interpretation of an event when the evidence is not obvious. As recently as 2014, experiments by prominent developmental psychologists suggested such thinking began between 3 and 5 years of age.


Psychologist Nicolo Cesana-Arlotti, a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University, thought the age might be much younger.

"If you have logical reasoning, you can generate conclusions, you can obtain evidence that would be hard to obtain otherwise," he explained this week. "It opens you up to much more information. So we were driven by the belief that logical reasoning might play an important role in a full picture" of the infant mind.

He and his colleagues were right.

In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Cesana-Arlotti and his colleagues described how they determined infants might have inference-making ability. Their experiment involved 144 babies, half of them a year old and half 19 months old, but none yet talking. In the experiment, the children sat in the laps of their silent and impassive mothers, who were blindfolded so the babies would not pick up on any unintentional facial clues. An animated sequence then played on an individual computer screen.

Each group watched the same animation, which included such virtual objects as an umbrella, flower, smiley face and dinosaur placed in front of a black screen. The tops of each were drawn to be identical, and when the two objects flew behind the screen - say, the umbrella and the smiley face - only those tops could be seen. Suddenly, a cup scooped up one of the objects - the baby could not see which - and moved in front of the screen. Again, just the object's top was visible within the cup.

At this point, the black screen dropped to reveal the remaining object - let's assume the umbrella - behind it. To test the babies' logical reasoning - their ability to infer through the process of elimination that the smiley face must be in the cup - the researchers pulled a fast one. Instead of the smiley face, another umbrella appeared in the cup. Each baby, regardless of age group, reacted by looking longer at the cup. There was no difference between the two age groups.

"It's a classic paradigm," said Cesana-Arlotti, the study's lead author. "When something unexpected happens, the infant looks longer because their expectations have been violated."

But Lisa Oakes, a psychologist at the Centre for Mind and Brain at the University of California at Davis, wonders if there could be an alternate explanation. Perhaps the infants held their gaze longer on the cup simply because they were watching two different items emerge from behind the screen.

"These events are very complicated," she said, "and it would be difficult for an infant to keep track of the sequence of actions and maintain the information in working memory over the entire event. It is possible that the interpretation by the authors is correct, but their interpretation is not the only one."

Additional evidence for their theory, the researchers claim, can be found in the measurements they recorded of each baby's pupil dilation throughout the experiment. In the time between when the two objects emerged from behind the screen and the contents of the cup were revealed, they discovered that the infant's pupils dilated, and their attention tended to shift toward the cup. Both the dilation and attention orientation seemed to support the idea of inferential thinking, they concluded.

Susan Hespos, principal investigator at the Infant Cognition Lab at Northwestern University, calls the research "an elegant series of experiments," noting that "infants, toddlers and adults all show similar dilation patterns." Her takeaway: "These data provide evidence that some of the human characteristics that make us so smart are evident in primitive form early in development. Finding logic abilities in infants as young as 1 year of age suggests that these abilities might be continuous over development."

In a commentary that accompanied the study, Justin Halberda, director of the Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Child Development and the Vision and Cognition Lab, noted the emerging field that is studying the "foundations of logical abilities" and the contribution this latest research might make.

"It is thrilling for us as scientists - using logical reasoning to understand how we reason logically," Halberda said.

Well, what do we have here? Cardi B has fallen under Petra Collin’s gaze not once but twice. In February, the fashion photographer shot Belcalis Almanzar for CR Fashion Book Issue 12. Of her cover star, Carine Roitfeld said she was inspired by “this generation’s ability to make the most of their crazy reality and use it as fuel for creativity."
On Monday, Cardi took things a step further in the video for “Bartier Cardi," her ode to her “dazzling come-up,” with Collins leading the charge. Collins has become known for making the women she photographs appear both alive and otherworldly, having worked with the likes of Gucci and Selena Gomez. When the video premiered during Love and Hip Hop Atlanta— Mona Scott Young’s series that introduced Cardi B to the rest of America — the rapper owned every bit of her femininity, from her furs to her body movements. And similar to Cardi and Collins’ spread in CR Fashion Book, the music video showed the rapper in all her high-low glory, with product placements from Fashion Nova and EOS surrounded her luxurious outfits dripping in diamonds. But it wasn’t just Cardi who benefitted from Collin’s soft-focus glow. In fact, we spied several familiar faces who we’re sure are about to become the next big thing.
“Fun fact: We made sure to include all different types of women models!” Patientce Foster, who co-creative directed the music video, captioned a still from the shoot in her Instagram story. “Skinny, curvy, Asian, [and] Black!” And it was the casting that made the video even more epic. Here’s your complete guide to the Insta-models who received the Cardi B blessing.
