In Japan to announce her switch to Uniqlo, the British No 1 says frustrations only fuel the fire as she looks to Indian Wells and beyond
Emma Raducanu has no immediate plans to appoint a new coach as she attempts to kickstart a frustrating season in the US next month. The British No 1 will play at Indian Wells and in the Miami Open in March without a full-time replacement for Francisco Roig – her ninth coach since she turned professional – with whom she parted company after her second-round exit at the Australian Open in January.
“Right now I wouldn’t say I’m actively looking for a coach,” Raducanu says in Tokyo, where on Tuesday she was unveiled as a global brand ambassador for the Japanese clothes retailer Uniqlo after ending her association with Nike.

Criminal gangs are “systematically” targeting shops, retailers have warned, with 5.5m incidents of shoplifting detected last year, costing the industry an estimated £400m.
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has warned over “endemic” violence towards shop workers – who faced an average 36 incidents of violence involving a weapon every day last year – and said high levels of theft was causing “anxiety” among retail staff.

Lincolnshire’s Reform party mayor, Dame Andrea Jenkyns, has courted the head of an American oil and gas dynasty in the hope of bringing fracking to the county, the Guardian can reveal.
Egdon Resources, a British subsidiary of the US fracker Heyco Energy, announced a major gas discovery in Lincolnshire’s Gainsborough Trough last year. Jenkyns, who became the first mayor of Greater Lincolnshire in May, reached out personally to the company asking how she “could help with your recent gas find in my county”, according to records released by the mayoral authority in response to a freedom of information request.

Henrik H's employer thought they could save money by hiring offshore, and save even more money by hiring offshore junior developers, and save even more money by basically not supervising them at all.
Henrik sends us just one representative line:
if (System.DateTime.Now.AddDays(-365) <= f.ReleaseDate) // 365 days means one year
I appreciate the comment, that certainly "helps" explain the magic number. There's of course, just one little problem: It's wrong. I mean, ~75% of the time, it works every time, but it happily disregards leap years. Which may or may not be a problem in this case, but if they got so far as learning about the AddDays method, they were inches from using [AddYears](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.addyears?view=net-10.0).
I guess it's true what they say: you can lead a dev to docs, but you can't make them think.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Een aantal kledingmerken claimt ten onrechte dat producten verantwoord en met respect voor mensenrechten zijn geproduceerd. Dat stellen de Consumentenbond, Schone Kleren Campagne (SKC) en Stichting Onderzoek Multinationale Ondernemingen (SOMO). De organisaties willen dat deze praktijk, ook bekend als 'social washing', streng wordt aangepakt.
De instellingen bekeken wat modeketens en kledingmerken beweren over hun sociale verantwoordelijkheid op sociale media, in hun winkels, op hun websites en in hun duurzaamheidsverslagen. Deze claims werden vervolgens vergeleken met onderzoeken van onafhankelijke partijen.
Van de tachtig onderzochte kledingmerken zijn acht merken in een rapport opgenomen. Deze acht, waaronder WE Fashion, Nike en Puma, waren zo misleidend dat er een rapport werd opgesteld en overhandigd aan de Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM). De opstellers vragen de ACM daarin om actiever te controleren op social washing.
