Still, this case is far from a lock for Elauf. "You can't give a blanket statement that this clearly violates her rights," says Schwab. "Employers often win cases involving dress codes. There's a general feeling that employers are entitled to set an image in their stores." If a company sells sex - you can sometimes find a shirtless male model hanging out in front of Abercrombie stores - let's face it, head coverings aren't ideal...
...messages aren’t good for much more. The advice they offer is confused and largely superficial.

In fact, the Plenum, the Party's biggest annual meeting at which major policy and personnel decisions are made, is being compared to the Sherlock Homes storyline in which the most significant clue is something that did not occur - the guard dog that didn't bark on the night of the murder. At the characteristically secretive Plenum, the equivalent clue into the mystery of who will be China's next...
