![]() Known as ‘veldskoene’, these boots were originally imported to Egypt from South Africa and shortly after Cairo cobblers were commissioned by South African soldiers to make them an even better version of these lightweight grippy ankle high boots. But these desert boots, as they came to be known, actually had their origins in South Africa. Many Eight Army officers would visit the bazaars of Cairo and purchase rough suede boots with a crepe sole in order to fight the desert terrain and heat, which were reminiscent of the chukka boots they may have seen during their pre-war service in India. Due to the arid and hot conditions of North Africa, a more traditional military boot made from a thicker leather with a heavy sole wouldn’t have been suitable to fighting a sustained campaign on foot, so his majesty’s troops would adapt and overcome. From the battlefields of El Alamein and Tobruk to the banks of the Nile and the bazaars of Cairo, the Desert Boot became the choice of footwear for a rag tag bunch of Desert Rats. The name also supports this origin story, with similarities to the seven and a half minute playing period knonw as a ‘Chukker’ or Chukka, which is taken from the Hindi word ‘chukkar’ meaning circle or turn.īut when did the distinction between the Chukka and Desert Boot arise? Well, it was the Western Desert campaigns of World War Two - fought by the British Army in Eygypt, Libya and Tunisia - that really cemented the footwear’s namesake. It is said to have its origins in India amongst British Army units who played polo and wore a derivative of the Jodhpur boot during downtime after matches. The boot that’s not really a boot, it can be dressed up or dressed down, the definition of smart casual in the footwear world. Easy to wear due to it’s small number of lace holes, shallow height and soft supple leather, it remains a popular style in contemporary menswear and for good reason. A style which dates back decades, the Chukka Boot is modest yet mighty. The Desert Boot’s DNA lies with the humble ‘Chukka Boot’ which is defined as an ankle height boot with suede or leather uppers and open lacing of two or three pairs of eyelets. So rather than being drawn into the passing trends and fashion fads of the year, it’s worth investing in a healthy dose of history and recognising that a time honored silhouette has the longevity you didn’t know you were looking for. After all, they’re labelled as such for a reason. Arguably, there’s been no better time to re-visit the classics. So, what does any of this matter and why are we talking about it? Well, in an era of mass production, fast fashion and throwaway culture where we can be quickly overwhelmed by a continuous onslaught of content, marketing and ad campaigns, it’s important to take a step back. In addition, it’s worth noting that the practical application and functional aspect of the item also plays an integral role, and may even be the reason for its inception in the first place. But what factors contribute to putting these pieces on the podium? Is it an everlasting design, historical relevance, adoption by sub-cultural movements, celebrity endorsement? Well, cards on the table, it’s probably a combination of all these ingredients which create the recipe for a classic. Garments or items which are certified as timeless imprints on the fashion spectrum, still as relevant now as they ever were. Sartorial history is full of so-called classics and cornerstones.

![]() In a moment that seems unintentionally revealing, he adds: "I felt that our handling of the bank was consistent with how we would have handled the bank if we were investigating a bank that serviced a South American community or the Indian community."Īt least he agreed to be interviewed, which isn't always the case in documentaries that fall so firmly on one side of a case. Was the government giving a pass to big fish and picking on a small one - perhaps with a tinge of racism in its motives? Cyrus Vance Jr, the district attorney who oversaw the case, called the accusations of cultural bias "entirely misplaced and entirely wrong".

AI-powered apps developed by the likes of Microsoft (Tay) and Google (image recognition technology) are an example of two AI-powered apps that have been shown to exhibit racial bias. Reports such as this one in Fortune Magazine, entitled AI’s Bias Problem, have highlighted that although AI can imitate human interaction it can amplify human prejudices. Recruiting must think carefully before taking candidate experience down that AI rabbit hole: a naturalistic recruiting chatbot adding interaction-appropriate responses where none previously existed is arguably value-adding.īut overuse of ChatGPT in situations where human interaction is desired and appropriate and where its responses are notably inferior to a human will cause frustration and diminish the candidate experience. Rejected candidates may be quick to judge if they feel they are being denied the dignity of a human rebuttal and feel they are being fobbed off with a heartless AI. As it stands it would need a costly bespoke integration with an autoresponder to fully automate the candidate experience. While it has some immediate practical applications it is not ready to be fully incorporated into the real-life hiring process. CostĬhatGPT is a raw Opensource product now which is still in the beta stage. Again, once incorporated into an autoresponder it can automate candidate experience and increase efficiency.Ĭhallenges of Using ChatGPT for Recruiting A. Increased efficiencyĬhatGPT’s ability to create high-quality copy templates for specific parts of the hiring value chain will eliminate/minimize manual HR writing tasks and increase efficiency. Once its code is actually integrated into an autoresponder, ChatGPT will be able to automate candidate communication in a humanistic way. This tool can enable time-pressurised managers to quickly populate autoresponders with professional and empathetic responses, providing incremental gains on candidate experience. Some of the more advanced content tasks on EVP and mission statements work great as automated templates but would need refinement by a strategic HR professional. For example, when creating interview questions, doing CV summaries, writing job ads, and writing email templates ChatGPT pretty much passed the Turing test: it wasn’t obvious this was AI-generated copy. Automation of recruitment processes & TasksĬhatGPT can automate some of the simple HR admin tasks extremely well. Results of this test are not going to win any recruitment marketing copy awards, but with some tweaks they may have some value. To expand on this we also wanted to test out multiple email subject lines to maximise the candidate click through rate.

![]() I am not sure how you run a retail outlet and not honor the prices on the product. I said, "You are not going to honor the marked price on the box"? "oh no cant do that." And I left. "Oh, no.that was the old price the new price is. "What.no, here is the price on the box, $105.95, you have mispriced this. ![]() At the register the floor staffer says, $145.88. About six months ago that was what I paid for a box of the same. Granted this is not the groovy brand of cigar the floor staff might find to be hip, but for a Christmas party for most non cigar smokers a good choice in my humble opinion. So, I intended to buy a box of Cohiba Red Dots. ![]() In years past I have found cigars priced in the store and been a bit shocked to find that it was not the same price at the register. This is not the first time I have run into this at Corona but a bit of a bigger problem this time. To stay up to date on the progress of the first Drew Estate Lounge, visit. Marvin continued, “What a way to end each year, surrounded by family and friends who have embraced our mantra, ‘The Rebirth Of Cigars’, from the beginning! The fact that Corona has the largest selection of Drew Estate products cemented our decision that Corona Cigar Company’s Sand Lake location would become the very first Drew Estate Lounge.” It is here that I tend to become most nostalgic and emotional, reconnecting with consumers who have returned to this annual event for over 10 years now.” Every December, Jonathan and I get together with Jeff, his wife Tanya, their family, store manager Angel, his extremely talented staff, and consumers for a year-end celebration. When asked why Drew Estate chose Corona Cigar, Drew Estate co-founder Marvin Samel said that, “I consider Corona Cigar Company to be Drew Estate’s home away from home. We probably should have jumped him for his cash to finish up the factory roof! Hahahahahahahaha… well, the rest is history.” Jeff told me that he respected our hard work and humility. Half the factory had no roof we were drinking borrowed iced tea while we placed bands on each cigar ourselves. on some random day in 1999 when Jeff Borysiewicz walked by our little factory in Estelí, Nicaragua and saw us working, prepping the boxes for the release of the “Natural by DE” line. In addition to the branded Drew Estate Lounge, Corona Cigar Company will be working with Drew Estate creating a series of unique, limited edition, lounge exclusive offerings of Liga Privada, Undercrown, Natural, Tabak Especial, Nica Rustica and Herrera Esteli cigars, available in summer 2014.ĭrew Estate co-founder and namesake, Jonathan Drew, had this story to tell about the first time he met Borysiewicz: “It was 3 A.M. Drew Estate and their stable of cigar brands will be tastefully displayed throughout the lounge via custom art, custom furniture, unique ashtrays and other eclectic items that Drew Estate’s Nicaraguan artists will create. Two new community tables will add additional seating and a place for cigar enthusiasts to gather with fellow aficionados. The Drew Estate Lounge in Corona Cigar Company’s Sand Lake headquarters is currently being remodeled with a significant but undisclosed investment, featuring an entirely new full liquor bar area, complete with an incredible selection of Bourbon, Single Malt Scotch, Dark Rums and Cognac. and Nicaragua, are incredibly talented and we are proud of our long standing relationship with them.” Drew Estate and its entire team, both in the U.S. When asked to describe his relationship with Drew Estate, Jeff Borysiewicz, owner of Corona Cigar Company, said, “Since the infancy of both Corona Cigar Company and Drew Estate, Jon, Marvin, and I have not only had a close business relationship, but a long personal relationship built on trust, respect and an incredible passion for all things cigars.
