Ditto data system bridges glucose monitors, smartphones
Biomedtrics' ditto Glucose Data System transmits blood glucose data from several glucometers to Android mobile devices.
Elizabeth Armstrong Moore
Oct. 21, 2013 4:14 p.m. PT
Elizabeth Armstrong Moore is based in Portland, Oregon, and has written for Wired, The Christian Science Monitor, and public radio. Her semi-obscure hobbies include climbing, billiards, board games that take up a lot of space, and piano.
The ditto Glucose Data System consists of a Bluetooth device, an electronic logbook app, and a secure Web site.
Biomedtrics
Let's face it: traditional glucose monitors require their share of work. Even diabetics who are diligent about monitoring their glucose levels have to then go to the trouble of either plugging the meters into a computer to upload the readings or tracking them manually.
So Pleasanton, Calif.-based Biomedtrics has come up with what it calls the ditto Glucose Data System to bridge the gap between glucose monitors and smartphones and thus make glucose tracking a little easier. The system comprises a Bluetooth device, an electronic logbook app, and a secure Web site -- called mydittolife -- on which to store and track data. Users can also share the information with their physician, family, caregivers, etc.
The device is available on Amazon for $129, while the logbook app is available at the Google Play store for free. Compatible FDA-approved glucose monitors include Bayer CONTOUR, FreeStyle, GLUCOCARD, and OneTouch Profile. (The full list is here.)
With 26 million people suffering from diabetes in the U.S. alone (that's almost 1 in 10 Americans), and hundreds of millions globally, according to the American Diabetes Association, glucose monitoring has become one of the largest patient-generated data sets in the world.
Biomedtrics CEO Robert Englert saw an opportunity to put that data to better use, according to a company press release, allowing it to be more easily transmitted, stored, and shared -- all for the obvious benefit of people trying to manage the disease.
Biomedtrics, it should be noted, isn't the only company with such a feat in mind. Glooko, approved by the FDA earlier this year, features a logbook app and cable that connects several off-the-shelf monitors to iPhones, while a still small, elite new generation of glucose monitors is actually connecting directly to smartphones.
Competition will likely drive the cost down and the sophistication up in the years to come -- and if that makes them easier to buy and more likely to be used, then these next-gen glucose monitors will also be saving more lives.

If you've been keeping track of 3D printing coming to the aide of animals then you might remember Derby the dog who got himself some 3D printed paws. Now it's the turn of a penguin to benefit from 3D printing technology.
Purps is a 23-year-old African penguin, an endangered breed, who got into a fight with another penguin at her home at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. The altercation meant Purps ended up injuring the tendon in her left leg, causing her to have problems walking. This was back in 2011.
Since then 3D Systems, who make 3D printers, has stepped in along with some middle schoolers from local school Mystic Middle School, the ACT Group, and the aquarium. Together they have built a customized boot created from an existing cast of Purp's foot.
Purp's had already worn a boot to help with her injury, but it was made of plastic and wasn't very lightweight. Now thanks to some 3D scanning, designing, and 3D Systems' technology, Purps has a much lighter boot, and a more durable one, that she can easily move around in.
"This project not only helped a member of an endangered species, but it gave our students a hands-on understanding of the 3D printing process and how to carry an idea through from a concept to a design to a usable object," said Mystic Middle School's Sue Prince.
It looks like it's a happy ending for all involved. Purps certainly now has, ahem, happy feet. You can watch the adorable Purps walk around in her new boot in the video above.

Here is an interview of Sebastian Stan and Thomas Middleditch talking about their role in The Bronze:
We are introduced to their intimate life only on the surface so we cannot assure anything till the couple themselves speak of the fact. They have yet not deleted their older posts till date and that's the reason that made us positive in their emotional linkage.
They displayed PDA the last time on the street of New York City as they couldn't keep their hands and lips apart in mass. The Winter soldier and his girl looked wonderful together in matching outfits with a dog on a walk.

Furthermore, there is no public appearance with no romantic updates on their social sites.

Eastman Collections online
Posted by Michael Pritchard on November 6, 2016 at 9:00
The George Eastman Museum has launched a new platform that allows public online access to more than 250,000 objects from its world-class collections at eastman.org/collections-online. Objects from the museum's photography, technology, and George Eastman Legacy collections are now searchable, and more objects from the museum's vast holdings are being added on an ongoing basis. Objects from the moving image collection will become accessible in the coming months.
"The George Eastman Museum has a long tradition of making our unparalleled collections—encompassing several million objects in the fields of photography, cinema, and photographic and cinematographic technology, as well as objects related to George Eastman—physically accessible to scholars, curators, and the public through our study centers and library, traveling exhibitions, and object loans," said Bruce Barnes, Ron and Donna Fielding Director, George Eastman Museum. "Online access to our extensive collections will transform the public's understanding of our holdings and facilitate new forms of collaboration with creators, curators, scholars, and collectors. Whether you are conducting research on a particular subject or simply interested in seeing what works we have by your favorite photographer, you can now do so much more easily."
Although not everything in the George Eastman Museum's collection is available online, more than a quarter of a million objects are currently searchable by artist, collection, classification, and date. New objects from the collection are being added to the database on a weekly basis.
The museum recently announced a grant award of $148,000 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, to support the cataloging and digitizing of the museum's Gabriel Cromer collection. Donated to the museum by Eastman Kodak Company, this is one of the seminal collections of early French photography and is considered the most important collection of such materials outside of France. The Gabriel Cromer collection will be fully accessible online by 2019.
"The launch of our online collection database has been truly transformative for the George Eastman Museum, allowing the world access to explore and discover the myriad wonders of our collection, enhancing the museum's profile, our contribution to scholarship, and our collaborative capabilities," added Barnes.

UCLA players set to return to United States after shoplifting arrest in China: report
By Nicole Hensley

Three UCLA athletes detained in China are slated to fly back to the United States late Tuesday, despite the seriousness of their shoplifting arrests, according to a new report.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport staff told the Wall Street Journal they spotted freshmen Cody Riley, Jalen Hill and LiAngelo Ball checking onto a Delta flight headed for Los Angeles.
The news comes after Trump said he made a personal appeal to President Xi Jinping to expedite the release of the athletes after learning of their arrest Sunday.
"What they did was unfortunate," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
"You know, you're talking about very long prison sentences. They do not play games," he said of Chinese authorities.
Police accused the Bruins trio of stealing from the Louis Vuitton store next their basketball team's hotel in Hangzhou. The players were forced to remain in China as their teammates returned to California after beating Georgia Tech 63-60 in Shanghai on Saturday.

CNN reports the players could face anywhere from three to 10 years in prison if convicted of grand larceny.
Trump praised his dialogue with Xi in the thick of his 12-day tour through Asia, adding that his government is "working on it right now" to have the players released.
"And hopefully everything is going to work out," Trump added during his return flight to the U.S.
Surveillance footage reportedly showed Ball, Hill and Riley stealing from three stores, including the luxury retailer, before their opening game.
Ball's brother is Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball.

I know it's been awhile since I last shared a FODMAP friendly dinner, but I haven't forgotten you low FODMAP folks! Promise!
One of my goals for 2018 is actually share more low FODMAP meals. Since it's still a fairly niche diet, finding compliant recipes isn't always easy – it definitely wasn't easy when Mike had to eat low FODMAP.
Ultimately, I'm just so happy that my recipes have been helpful to people. I've gotten so much positive feedback from people who were finally able to eat something different without the usual IBS pains to follow. From one home cook who's just trying to make tasty, allergy friendly food to another – I'm just here to help!
And I mean….it's 2018. No one should have to survive on plain old chicken & rice because of their dietary restrictions. That's just sad and unnecessary, ya know?
I feel like I've said 'FODMAP' far too many times in these past few lines so let's just get to it already before I become even more repetitive.
Right! 10 ingredients + 1 hours is all you need to make this low FODMAP maple mustard chicken dish.
Start out by throwing your prepped potatoes & carrots in a large cooking pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil for about 10 minutes to soften up the veg before your final bake. This will allow for a faster cooking time in the oven later with all the chicken and sauce.
To make the chicken, start out by score the top of the skin in a few different places with a sharp knife. Basically you're just poking little holes in the skin to help the fat render out easier when frying which ultimately leads to crispier skin. It only takes seconds but it makes such a huge difference in the end.
Once scored, lay the chicken pieces skin side down on a large, cold pan and warm to a medium high heat. Fry on both sides, about 4-5 minutes or until the skin turns a lovely, golden colour. Since you're going to be finishing everything off in the oven later you don't need to worry about the inside of the chicken cooking through just yet.
While the chicken in crisping up in the stove top begin working on the maple-mustard sauce. Simple mix together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and set aside until you're ready to put it all together.
Once the veg is par boiled and the chicken is browned it's time to bring it all together. Spread out the potatoes and carrots across the bottom of a large, rimmed baking dish. Place the chicken thighs over the top, leaving the skin side up. Carefully spoon the maple-mustard sauce over the top of each thigh, spreading it around to cover the sides. The sauce will form a sort of caramelised crust while baking. Scatter a few extra springs of rosemary over the top to spruce it up a bit and then throw it in the oven and bake! Since both the veg and the chicken is partially cooked this should only take about 25 minutes.
Low FODMAP or not this dish is a simple, straight forward meal that packs in a lot of flavour.
If you're interested in finding more FODMAP friendly recipes make sure you check out my Recipe Index. From there you can choose to view only Low FODMAP recipes under the "By Diet" section and then use the category section to break down what type of recipe you want to see (i.e. Main , Snack, Dessert, etc).
Here's to even more recipes in 2018!

Preheat the oven for 375°F/190°C and lightly grease a large, rimmed baking dish.
Add the potatoes and carrots to a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Then drain the water and add to your prepped baking dish and set aside.
While the potatoes & carrots are boiling begin on the chicken. Use a small knife to prick about 3 or 4 gashes in the skin of the chicken. This will help render the fat of the chicken while cooking and make the skin crispier. Sprinkle the thighs with salt and pepper.
Place the thighs, skin side down on a large, cold non-stick skillet. Turn the heat up to a medium high and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the skin is nice and golden. Flip, and cook the other side about 3-4 minutes.
While the thighs are cooking on the stove top prep the maple mustard glaze: in a small bowl mix together the mustards, maple, lemon juice, olive oil and rosemary. Taste and season with a little more salt and pepper if you see fit.
When both sides of the chicken is browned transfer to the prepped baking dish and lay out the chicken on top of the carrots and potatoes, skin side up.
Spread a spoonful of the maple mustard mixture on top of each chicken thigh. Spread it around to cover the thighs as much as possible. Add a couple extra sprigs of rosemary if you wish and then place your dish in the oven. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until cooked through: an internal temp of 165°F/75°C.
Remove from the oven and let cook a few minutes before serving.
Keep in mind if you are interested in keeping this Paleo that you need to make sure to double check your labels to verify it's paleo friendly. You should also check that's also low FODMAP since a lot of mustards often contain garlic.
Thanks for the recipe. So many good comments I was looking forward to tasting this dish. Sorry to break the chain but I was disappointed with the mustard flavour and also didn't like the potatoes. Next time I'll make it without them and instead use zucchini, carrots, lemon, rosemary, just a touch of the maple syrup, and serve it over Tinkyada brown rice pasta spirals.
That's alright – to each their own! Your changes sound like they'd make for a lovely dish!
It was lovely. My husband really enjoyed it.
Thanks Veronica! Glad you guys enjoyed it!
What cano substitute for the mustard?
Hi Cathy! I'm afraid I don't have any good suggestions here. I made this recipe using mustard as the main ingredient/flavour – If we get rid of the mustard we'd have to also alter the other ingredients and I'm not sure how much would need to change without testing it first. Sorry I couldn't be more help here!
Absolutely delicious. We ran out of rosemary so I replaced it with savory. It was still amazing. Definitely putting this on the regular dinners for my family and I.
Thanks Christina – so glad you enjoyed it!
Hoping to make this tonight for my low-fodmap roomie, but he doesn't like bone-in meat… Would chicken breasts work okay for this recipe? It sounds sooo good, and we already have most of the ingredients on hand!
That would work! You don't need to worry about searing the chicken to start with but other than that you shouldn't need to change anything else. Hope you guys enjoy!
Made this tonight. My husband does low-FODMAP and it is always a struggle to find delicious meals to cook. This will definitely be going in the rotation! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
Thanks Katie – so glad you guys enjoyed it!
I made this last night with my husband, and we loved the tasty results. I was unable to find whole grain mustard without garlic though. Do you have any recs?
Hi Lydia! I'm so glad you guys liked it – thanks so much for coming back to let me know what you thought! As for the mustard I usually buy the Maille brand which is garlic free. If you live in the UK I know the sainsbury's brand whole grain mustard is garlic free as well. Hope that helps!
This was very good! I substituted in maple mustard for the two mustards listed, used chicken breasts instead of thighs, and left out the lemon juice since it bothers me. My husband and son both enjoyed it, also. I'll be making it again!
Thank you for your recipes. Eating is very frustrating for me at times, doing low-FODMAP as well as wheat and dairy free from necessity. I appreciate easy, healthy, and good!
Hi Carrie! So glad you all liked it! Thanks so much for coming back to let me know what you thought!
Yum!!! Looks and sounds divine!

Elain Thompson signs on as brand ambassador with Flow

Double Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson could not contain her joy after she was signed by telecommunication firm FLOW as their first female brand ambassador.
Thompson, 24, who became the first woman in 28 years to win gold in the 100m and 200m at the Rio Olympic Games last August, signed a multi-year endorsement deal.
"It is a wonderful feeling and I am really happy to be on the team and be their brand ambassador," said Thompson after a photo shoot at FLOW's headquarters on Half-Way-Tree Road yesterday.
"When I was at the Milo Western Relays, Mr (Bruce) James sent me the photo of the photo shoot. I could not believe the progress that I have come through and this means a lot to me, and I will continue to work hard and to achieve my goals to be at the top," said a beaming Thompson.
The sprinter, who only a few year ago was a relative unknown, shot to prominence after mining a silver medal in the 200m at the 2015 World Championship in a splendid time of 21.66 seconds. It was the second-fastest by a Jamaican, only behind one of her idols, the legendary, Merlene Ottey (21.64).Thompson is also the joint national record holder over the 100m with 10.70 seconds, alongside her contemporary idol, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
"It is a big deal for me and I will have to learn to hold my composure on the street because a lot of persons are going to comment, saying like how you are with FLOW I wish their Internet could do this or that. But I don't mind that, I will just have to do my work and stay as team FLOW," Thompson explained.
Thompson, who hails from the quiet community of Banana Ground in Manchester, strongly believes that this ambassadorial role by FLOW is a positive one.
"I think this is sending a message to the kids because when I go on the streets and at track meets, the way how they react to me, I think they are attached to my lifestyle and how I have transformed. I am willing to be a good role model and do my work and be responsible towards them," said Thompson.
Over the years, FLOW had signed former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell and Yohan Blake, the youngest 100m world champion, who struck gold at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. More recently, FLOW signed the promising Jaheel Hyde.
Carlo Redwood, FLOW's vice-president of marketing and products, believes his organisation has signed the ideal person for their brand.
"We are very, very excited about it. We have been working on it for a little while. We wanted to get a brand ambassador that was new, fresh, high achiever, making all of us proud," said Redwood, after giving Thompson a tour of the main show room at FLOW.
"She is the double Olympic champion and she is a very special talent, but not only the talent, but the individual. She is very real, very down to earth and we love that about her, and we just thought that it was a real good partnership," Redwood said.
Thompson, already an ambassador for the National Commercial Bank (NCB), and who was snapped up by Nike last year, will have her hands full promoting the wide array of FLOW products.
"We will have tons of give backs, tons of promotions, tons of activities with our customers and with Jamaica generally. So, there is a number of ways we looking to use her from both a promotional and commercial standpoint," said Redwood.

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American vivified TV arrangement made by sea life science instructor and artist Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The arrangement narratives the experiences and tries of the title character and his different companions in the anecdotal submerged city of Bikini Bottom. The fifth-longest-running American enlivened arrangement, its notoriety has made it a media establishment, just as the most astounding evaluated arrangement to ever air on Nickelodeon, and the most circulated property of Viacom Media Networks.
A considerable lot of the thoughts for the arrangement started in an unpublished instructive comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which Hillenburg made in 1989. He started forming SpongeBob SquarePants into a TV arrangement in 1996 upon the scratch-off of Rocko's Modern Life, and went to Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on that arrangement, to voice the title character. SpongeBob was initially going to be named SpongeBoy, and the arrangement was to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, yet both of these were changed, as the name was at that point trademarked.
Nickelodeon held a see for the arrangement in the United States on May 1, 1999, after the TV airing of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards. The arrangement authoritatively debuted on July 17, 1999. It has gotten overall basic praise since its debut and increased huge fame by its subsequent season.
The arrangement spins around the title character and a group cast of his sea-going companions. SpongeBob SquarePants is a fiery and hopeful ocean wipe who physically takes after a rectangular kitchen wipe. He lives in a submerged pineapple with his pet snail Gary, who whimpers like a feline. SpongeBob has an uncorrupt eagerness forever, which continues to his activity as a fry cook at a drive-thru eatery called the Krusty Krab. His most prominent objective in life is to get a permit to drive a boatmobile. His preferred leisure activities incorporate "jellyfishing", which includes getting jellyfish with a net in a way like butterfly getting, and blowing cleanser rises into expound shapes.
Living two houses down from SpongeBob is his closest companion Patrick Star, a boneheaded yet inviting pink starfish who dwells under a stone. Regardless of his psychological difficulties, Patrick still considers himself to be canny.
Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's nearby neighbor and collaborator at the Krusty Krab, is a self-important and irritable octopus who lives in an Easter Island moai. He appreciates playing the clarinet and painting self-pictures, yet detests his activity as a clerk and aversions living among SpongeBob and Patrick, because of their adolescent nature. The proprietor of the Krusty Krab is a stingy red crab named Eugene H. Krabs who talks like a mariner and runs his eatery as though it were a privateer dispatch. Mr. Krabs is a solitary parent with one young little girl, a sperm whale named Pearl, to whom he needs to go down his wealth. Pearl does not have any desire to proceed with the privately-run company and would prefer to invest her energy tuning in to popular music or working at the neighborhood shopping center.
Another companion of SpongeBob is Sandy Cheeks, a rush chasing and athletic squirrel from Texas, who wears an air-filled plunging suit to inhale submerged. She lives in an oak tree entangled in an unmistakable glass arch bolted by a water/air proof, hand-turned seal and is a specialist in karate, just as a researcher.

How Much Residents of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa Spend On Bills Each Month
Dunken Updated: June 12, 2022
Do you have any idea how much you spend on recurring bills each month? I have an idea, but I don't know the exact amount. Most of the time, I don't even see my bills. I have everything set up for autopay with my credit card which is nice because I earn some great cash back rewards and only have to worry about that one bill each month.
Doxo provides a similar service. They help people manage all of their bills in one place. The company says, "Americans spend $3.12 trillion annually across ten primary bill payment categories." Those categories include recurring payments like a person's mortgage, gas bill, electric bill, car payment, etc. Below you'll see what the average resident in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa pays each month on these bills.
The United States of Bill Pay
Doxo's annual "State By State Bill Pay" report ranks each state in the country based on how much residents pay each month for the ten most common bills.
The largest bill a person will pay each month is their mortgage/rent followed by auto loans, utilities, auto insurance, health insurance, cable/internet, cell phone, alarm/security, and life insurance. The average American spends $2,003 each month for these services and products.

West Virginia National Guard diversifies labor force with cyber initiatives
By Sgt. Zoe Morris, West Virginia National GuardMarch 22, 2018
1 / 1 Show Caption + Hide Caption – Graphic depicting West Virginia National Guard cyber initiative. (Photo Credit: Graphic by Capt. Holli Nelson) VIEW ORIGINAL
CHARLESTON, W. Va. - The West Virginia National Guard is pressing forward with out-of-the-box strategies to develop and build a cyber-trained work force able to be utilized by both the National Guard and civilian sector in areas such as vulnerability assessments, forensics analysis, critical infrastructure assessment and cyber security support.
With cyberattacks being hailed as one of the nation's biggest threats, WVNG leadership is working to combat the issue by creating opportunities for Soldiers and Airmen to train in the civilian sector, gaining knowledge, certifications and experience that can easily transfer to military cyber security.
"Despite the lack of force structure or any promise of a future mission set, the WVNG intends to grow organic capability through educational and training opportunities," said Lt. Col. Jody Ogle, WVNG director of communications. "There is a widening gap in skills and need. Even though we don't have the force structure in West Virginia, our state government and local industry partners still depend on the WVNG as a source of help and support in regard to cyber, just as they do for other events such as disasters. Furthermore, the WVNG is perfectly poised to produce highly qualified candidates for those positions."
One tool the Guard is using is a partnership with the University of Charleston's Cyber Security Program (CSP), a fairly new course of study that was developed in large part because of the relationship between the WVNG and the school, according to CSP Director Dr. Matthew D. Gonzalez.
"The Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security has a future focus of working with the Guard and others in the industry to keep an active program that fulfills their needs," Gonzales said.
This June, 20 Soldiers from the West Virginia Army National Guard's 620th Signal Company will be attending a course at UC to further develop their cyber skills. Upon completion, the Soldiers will have earned three certifications: Ethical Hacker, Incident Handler and Security Analyst.
One reason the WVARNG is seeking civilian training for its Soldiers is the quick turn-around time and because many of the certifications and qualifications overlap. With the correct education and experience, it's possible for Soldiers to gain a military occupational specialty (MOS) with little or no time spent at the Department of Defense training school, circumventing the lengthy and expensive reclassification process.
Capt. Emmett Schneider, commander of the 620th Signal Company, said that this training for his Soldiers is a good start in making sure the Guard has these capabilities.
"It's an uphill battle," Schneider said. "We need these skills now, we don't have time to incubate them … my job to get these people through this training and succeed. They have the test scores, now we need to get them trained with (cyber security) MOS skills."
Schneider said the WVNG adjutant general, Maj. Gen. James Hoyer, and Maj. Gen. Allen Tackett before him, view the WVNG as an economic driver meant to help diversify the skills of the Guard and West Virginia's work force. Federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, NASA's Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Facility, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have offices in West Virginia, alongside state agencies that require cyber security knowledge.
"We have an opportunity here to create a highly skilled workforce of talented West Virginians who are able to meet the ever-changing demands of new and emerging threats in the digital era," said Hoyer. "The West Virginia National Guard is known for taking a leading role in developing working solutions for our state's needs. This is just another example of the importance of innovative thinking and strategic partnerships with our educational institutions that will have a lasting impact for the Mountain State."

Moscow delivers S-300 missile system to Syria for defense of Russian naval base
© Kirill Kallinikov / Sputnik
A battery of Russian S-300 air defense missile launchers has been transported to Syria, Russia's Defense Ministry said in a statement. Its sole purpose is to defend a Russian naval base and warships, the ministry added.
The information about the S-300's deployment was confirmed by ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.
"Indeed, the Syrian Arab Republic received an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system. This system is designed to ensure the safety of the naval base in [Syrian city of] Tartus and ships located in the coastal area [in Syria]…" he told the media.
Konashenkov said it is unclear why the deployment of the missile system has created such a fuss in the West.
"The S-300 is a purely defensive system and poses no threat," he said.
He recalled that before the deployment of S-300, Russia had delivered Fort air defense missile systems to Syria.
The statement comes after a report by Fox news that a Russian S-300 was deployed to Syria. The media cited three US officials who claimed that Moscow "continues to ramp up its military operations in Syria."

— RT America (@RT_America) October 3, 2016
In November 2015, Moscow deployed its newest S-400 air defense missile system to Khmeimim in Syria as part of a security boost following the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey near the border with that country. At the time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the S-400 systems are not targeting Russia's partners,"with whom we fight terrorists in Syria together."
The S-400 is the most advanced anti-aircraft defense system in Russia.

A Glimpse Inside Ian Isiah's Perfectly Manicured World
Words: Jake Hall
Sculptures: Jack Cox
A new project from fashion icon and R&B sex idol Ian Isiah turned out to be the funky sonic antidote we needed at this stage of 2020. In this FRONTPAGE interview, he details how 'AUNTIE's celebration of Black womanhood became a universal call to come together.
In his third and final performance at Kerwin Frost's blockbuster telethon last month, Ian Isiah sang his sexed-up slow jam "247" in a black, ankle-length church robe. "That pussy so amazing," he cooed as the stage lights hit the black chiffon, hinting at the heavily-tattooed chest beneath. This fusion of sex and salvation would seem peculiar coming from any other artist, but Isiah is one of a kind: a "pangender, post-everything fashion icon and R&B sex idol" raised in the convivial storefront churches of Brooklyn.
When we speak over the phone, Isiah is back in New York after traveling to Los Angeles for the telethon, which has so far raised more than $165,000 for Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp. Founded in 2016, the project aims to "advance the liberation and wellbeing of Black and Brown communities" by bringing key resources straight to the youth who need them. "I was so excited to do it," Isiah says, his enthusiasm audible even over the crackling phone line. "That's what we need to deal with this national crisis, and the climate we're in right now. [We need] the power of the youth, and their strength in numbers."
These values are woven into the fabric of Isiah's highly anticipated new release AUNTIE, produced entirely by Canadian electro-funk juggernauts Chromeo. It's a funky, feel-good record; a sonic antidote to a world in chaos. Lyrically, it reads like a sermon: a message of encouragement and empowerment for Black communities worldwide. "Baby, we all deserve better," he sings on opening track "N.U.T.S." "You gotta make some room for people that wanna love you."
Highsnobiety / Jack Cox
It's the first release on Chromeo's Juliet Records, and it's also a continuation of their creative relationship, which blossomed back in 2018 when Isiah featured on their album Head Over Heels' interlude "Right Back Home To You." "It came about quite naturally," he says of the partnership. "We originally slid into each other's DMs, but I was like, 'Okay, we're not friends, so let's see what these guys are all about.'" Isiah is notoriously selective when it comes to collaborations, so he began to study their extensive back catalogue. The result was conclusive: "These are some fucking cats! They have so many grooves, and I love all of them."
AUNTIE is a fully-realized version of the musical blueprint they teased two years ago: Isiah flexes his signature falsetto across the duo's infectious, retro production, which draws from soul, disco, and R&B. But the core of the album is unmistakably funk. "We wanted that kind of 'turn your face down, nose up' funk," he laughs, humming a beat. Remarkably, the bulk of the project came together in a single week of jam sessions. "It was so smooth, it's unbelievable! When you get to work with trained artists, everyone in that room is on the same wavelength. I learned so much from them."
Isiah attributes everything else he knows about music to his family, his church-going upbringing and the lively gospel choirs of his youth. "Ever since I was three years old, I knew I was going to be a musician," he states, lovingly imitating the voices of the family friends who hustled him to sing on stage. Music seeped into plenty of his earliest memories: holiday dinners became impromptu concerts, pots and pans became makeshift drums used to keep the tempo while his grandmother sang hymns as she washed the dishes. "My whole family is musical," he explains. "My grandparents are great singers, my mom sings a little bit, all of my cousins can jam, and my father is from Trinidad, a Rastafari. He has a steelpan band, which is really cool. There's gospel on the left, reggae on the right — it's a whole vibe!"
Throughout his teens and 20s, Isiah found another family in the form of close friends, like Shayne Oliver, who founded the game-changing label Hood by Air in 2006. Isiah spent his days working retail to pull looks for iconic club nights like GHE20G0TH1K, and also played a pivotal role in shaping HBA's unique aesthetic: an expert blend of oversized fits, goth accents, and infamous slogans ("NEVER TRUST A CHURCH GIRL"), all drenched with the queer femme energy of the ballroom scene.
"That was my first experience of seeing that these collectives are really for a reason," he says of the community around HBA. "It was about being pregnant with an idea, being involved with the pregnancy of that idea, and then watching it be birthed… it was such a blessing to be surrounded by all of these talents."
Wednesdays and Sundays were usually spent in a different kind of club: The Village Underground, a legendary comedy club whose open-mic nights attracted an endless list of musical greats. "I remember that Bilal would come, and one night Faith Evans came to sing — it was really these icons, you know?" Isiah can't recall exactly how old he was when he started performing in clubs ("...at least 18… maybe I was 21? I wasn't going to school, and I was definitely drinking — I remember that!"), but he recalls being surrounded by friends and fellow musicians who felt so at home on stage that they'd stick around after their slot. "I wouldn't leave," he exclaims, laughing at the memories. "I would stay and sing background for the other open-mic artists… if there's a band there and there's mics lying around, you're going to sing. It's how the church system was run, so it felt normal to me."
Isiah's open-mic sets became extended jam sessions with friends, who would join him on stage for covers of old Motown and R&B hits. It wasn't until 2013 that he officially released The Love Champion, a debut mixtape which paid homage to his sexed-up R&B idols, but with Isiah's own twist: the beats were high-octane, the dirty talk was drenched in AutoTune, and the features came from rap pioneer Le1f, as well as the similarly genre-blending Mykki Blanco (Isiah returned the favor in 2014, featuring on Blanco's experimental punk mixtape Gay Dog Food).
In 2018, Isiah followed up The Love Champion with Shugga Sextape (Vol. 1), a smooth, futuristic odyssey which introduced the world to his "alter ego" Shugga. "He is, but he isn't my alter ego… Shugga is sweet but street," he jokes. "It's my new, grown attitude." Lyrically, sex, strip clubs, and situation-ships define the record, but Isiah shifts their context with his loud, proud queerness. To see these tracks sung by a tatted-up iconoclast with waist-length blonde plaits and a corset was a shock to the system for many, but for Isiah it was a natural extension of his character: unconventional for sure, but never contrived.
Fast-forward to 2020, and Isiah has found himself tasked with an unprecedented challenge: releasing and promoting AUNTIE in the midst of a global pandemic. "It's impacted me in a huge way," he says, his voice thick with introspection. "It's reminded me of what it means to reset, and it's made me really figure out what I'm doing in this world." Isiah has been considering this for years — he describes getting sober two years ago as his first real reset — but he says the pandemic has made him more proactive, acutely aware that "time is precious — if you want things to happen, you need to sow the seeds."
He's sown several of these seeds over the last few months, most notably brainstorming plans for "a full live concert at some point, but in a remote way that's actually cool — I don't know if I can handle singing and reading comments at the same time," he jokes. Isiah self-describes as almost relentlessly creative, his mind constantly ablaze with new ideas. His room is often filled with notice boards and push-pins, so he can map ideas out the moment inspiration strikes.
It's also handy that Isiah happens to live with videographer and ONLUNCHBREAK collective-founder Thuan Tran, who directed the fabulously eccentric visuals for AUNTIE's third single, "Princess Pouty." "It's about a little bitch-clown who is on his way to work, and nobody is paying him attention," Isiah says of the video, shot earlier this year in a deserted Coney Island. "He thinks everyone is going to show up at his birthday party when he gets home, but, lo and behold, nobody shows up. And guess what? He's still encouraging and empowering his god-damn self!"
This message is stamped all over the uplifting, free-spirited visual, which sees Isiah painted by trailblazing makeup artist Raisa Flowers as a high-fashion clown causing chaos on the abandoned boardwalk. "Obviously, it's a pandemic, so we couldn't get the production to do a fucking full movie, but we were able to bring the ideas to life. I got a look together with my girl Emily [Schubert, the video's stylist] and I took my ass to Coney Island. It was actually fun, there was no one there so we had the whole place to ourselves."
"Encouragement" and "empowerment" are the words Isiah most often uses to describe AUNTIE. Lyrically, the seven-track offering is a testament to Black resilience, opening with a street recording of homophobic slurs: "He's a man, he's a woman, that's a disgrace, an abomination!" The slurs are buried deep in the mix of first single "N.U.T.S." (an acronym for "N*GG* U THE SH*T"), and soon drowned out by Isiah's warm coos of validation. "I think people already know exactly who I am and what I stand for, but I wanted to make sure, so I put that in there," says Isiah of opening with the recording. "The vibe for sure is like a vintage funk sound, but these songs are filled with messages that are needed right now. Every last song is a message of encouragement… they all speak to empowerment."
Throughout his childhood, Isiah got this dose of warmth and wisdom from the various matriarchs in his life – in many ways, the album's title is a tribute to them. "AUNTIE is the vibe from how I was raised, and how many of us were raised in my culture," he explains. "The auntie was always the one that got it, you know? We weren't her kids, but we were basically her kids — and she always looked fly, with the hairstyles and the nails! She was the one to say, 'You don't have to listen to your mother… let me tell you how to do this and that.' That was always such an inspiration for me."
Entire exhibitions have been dedicated to the importance of the auntie in Black culture, but Isiah uses the character as a metaphor of sorts; there's a fusion of tenderness, reassurance, and steeliness ("You were having a good time, but you knew you were in her house and you followed her rule!") that characterizes the seven tracks of AUNTIE, and it's more resonant now than ever. The poignant, documentary-style video for second single "Loose Truth" is exemplary; accompanied by a CashApp campaign to put money directly into the pockets of Black and POC key workers, the visuals are a testament to the resilience of Black familial networks. "This is my truth," Isiah sings softly in the song's languid, dreamy chorus. "Felt like I had time today / I've got nothing to lose / It's 911 emergency."
With lyrics like these, Isiah intertwines grief and resilience; strength and vulnerability. To translate these complex emotions into imagery, he enlisted the talents of Renell Medrano, a formidable photographer whose recent photo series, PAMPARA, doubled up as a visual love letter to her Dominican heritage. Together, they created powerful imagery based loosely on photos from the funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr.; in the single artwork for "N.U.T.S.," Isiah recreates a seminal photograph of his widow, Coretta Scott King. The AUNTIE artwork continues this emotional thread; dressed in a veil and surrounded by mourners — all of whom are neighbors, cousins, family members of some description — Isiah comforts a young girl in his arms, an image of stoicism in the face of tragedy.
"Community should really be the priority right now," he says, pausing to take stock of his words. "We need to break down what that means. It's not materialistic, you know? It needs to be more about coming together. We actually need to come together. With AUNTIE, I'm pushing more for that, and I'm speaking more to that. If you dive deep into the lyrics, I hope those themes of empowerment lend themselves well to the climate we're in." He also underlines a desire to help other artists to develop, to use his own experience and nurture the next generation of artists below him.
AUNTIE is as much a guiding light as it is a tribute to the matriarchs who defined his own childhood: the affectionate family friends nudging him to sing at church; the loving relatives who turned every holiday into a musical celebration; the legendary divas which soundtracked family visits. With his honey-sweet vocals, laidback funk, and messages of encouragement, he embodies the sage, care-free auntie slipping you extra meat from the barbecue with her perfectly-manicured nails. AUNTIE is Isiah's invitation into his own, deeply personal, beautifully idiosyncratic world — and as long as you approach with respect, you're guaranteed to leave enlightened.

Farmer's Best exhibits for 21st year at Fresh Summit
Farmer's Best is set to exhibit at the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) Fresh Summit Conference and Expo for the 21st consecutive year. This year's trade show will take place at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
The Farmer's Best team will be busy discussing a number of topics with current and potential clients during the event. Highlights include Farmer's Best products, its four core commitments of food safety, quality, reliability and sustainability, its social responsibility programs and major land expansion in San Luis Potosí.
This expansion is certainly the biggest news of 2017 for the 51-year old company. After years of seasonally-based supply, San Luis Potosí improvements increased the availability of three key Farmer's Best products: cucumbers, Roma tomatoes and green bell peppers.
The larger growing operations and practices now allow for growing and distribution of all three in-demand products throughout the summer season as well as its traditional winter production. Bell pepper production has also improved with upgraded technology like a new sorting machine.
Farmer's Best general manager Leonardo Tarriba (left) and vice president of sales and marketing Steve Yubeta (right) will be onsite at the company's PMA Fresh Summit booth in New Orleans.
"We are certainly very excited about what's been taking place lately here at Farmer's Best," said Leonardo Tarriba, general manager of Farmer's Best. "PMA Fresh Summit is one of the most important industry events that we attend during the year. It's such an ideal opportunity to meet with our great partners, distributors and clients as well as getting to know new potential clients."
Farmer's Best team members, including Tarriba along with vice president of sales and marketing Steve Yubeta and others, will be available to greet attendees at booth number 1057 during PMA Fresh Summit.
"If you are at the show, we'd love to talk with you," said Yubeta. "It's such a productive trade show and we are eager to share news about all the good things that are happening with Farmer's Best. Make sure that you drop by and say 'hello' to us."
Farmer's Best fruits and vegetables are all grown in Mexico and distributed from its centers in Nogales, Ariz. and McAllen, Texas to the United States and Canada. The company incorporates sustainable practices throughout all its growing, harvesting, packing and shipping operations. These include reclaimed water programs, among other things, and the company's primary focus on food safety and providing quality produce for the market.
