KONTUSION: "KONTUSION"
Album Reviews Add comments
(This is Todd Manning's review of the self-titled debut EP of Kontusion, which will be released on March 25th.)
For many, the tidal wave of old school death metal bands that have saturated the scene for the past decade or so has been an embarrassment of riches. My formative musical teeth were cut from '89 to '95 or so, meaning that I can listen to this stuff all day long. Admittedly, this means that if a band nails this sound, even if they are pretty average, they will easily grab my attention. But when a band is really freakin' good, rising above the hordes, well then I'm all in. Such is the case with Kontusion, These guys absolutely rip.
Kontusion consists of the duo of Mark Bronzino and Chris Moore, who together have worked in such bands as Repulsion, Ghostmane and Mammoth Grinder, bringing together their expertise in a mash-up of raw old school death. Opener "Unrelenting Pain" shows just how powerful a grasp they have on the genre. Wild d-beats collide with fierce grooves, like the best of Dismember and Suffocation rolled up into one. The whole thing is coated in a thick layer of slime and entrails, a noisy but clear production job that highlights the brutality.
"Rotting with Sickness" proves to be the highlight of the short release. The first half of the tune is every bit as nasty as the opener led us to expect. More d-beats and blasts, more guttural screams. Then the tune slides into a lower tempo and the keyboards come in. Anyone who is familiar with the title track to Entombed's Left Hand Path knows exactly what kind of atmosphere they are going for here. There's a great guitar solo that comes in over the top — think Kerry King sparring with Trey Azagthoth. This whole section glorifies everything old school death metal is supposed to be about.
The back half of the release consists of the one-two punch of "Blood Church" and "Charred Remains". The former is a short-blast of insanity, one part early Incantation, one part Terrorizer's World Downfall. "Charred Remains" starts off as if it will utilize a more measured approach, but quickly nosedives into more blasts and d-beats. There's a fantastic section in the middle where the blast beats appear and disappear every measure with echoing vocals over the top. This leads into another keyboard section that just drips with a crypt-like atmosphere.
If you know and love old school death metal, Kontusion is literally a no-brainer. These just nail it, from the brutality to the atmosphere, from how the songs are constructed and the riffs are written, this shit is on fire. And somehow, they don't sound like they are worshiping any particular act. In under twenty minutes, they lay the groundwork for their own identity. Hopefully a full-length is soon to follow.

The Body Impolitic is a critical study of tradition, not merely as an ornament of local and national heritage, but also as a millstone around the necks of those who are condemned to produce it.
Michael Herzfeld takes us inside a rich variety of small-town Cretan artisans' workshops to show how apprentices are systematically thwarted into learning by stealth and guile. This harsh training reinforces a stereotype of artisans as rude and uncultured. Moreover, the same stereotypes that marginalize artisans locally also operate to marginalize Cretans within the Greek nation and Greece itself within the international community. What Herzfeld identifies as "the global hierarchy of value" thus frames the nation's ancient monuments and traditional handicrafts as evidence of incurable "backwardness."
Herzfeld's sensitive observations offer an intimately grounded way of understanding the effects of globalization and of one of its most visible offshoots, the heritage industry, on the lives of ordinary people in many parts of the world today.


Everything you do before starting an innovation project is called the "front end." Some call this the fuzzy front end…because they're unsure of what should happen. Most managers have a tendency to manage the fuzzy front end like all other phases, with impatience and expectations of quick results.
1. Cutting costs and expecting savings: Of all the places to scrimp in business, the front end may be the worst. At this phase you generally spend tens of thousands of dollars on market research, in-depth interviews and travel costs. These activities help lower the risk associated with your future projects and cost pennies compared to development investments you will need to make later on. For most projects, you'll easily recover this front end investment.
2. Fear of ambiguity: Some companies ask teams to make financial projections far too early, or worse, to commit on project cost and timeline without having the proper credentials. Others use the front end to "validate" their pre-conceived solutions. It's seen as a failure if the team changes scope or kills the project…but it's better to fail now as opposed to later. The main function of the front end phase should be learning.
Successful teams often pursue a market without a solution but with an open mind. I've heard teams say, "We're interviewing and have no idea what our product will be…but we're learning a lot!" THAT IS PERFECT! These teams will usually be rewarded. Winning teams can quickly change course and adjust based on what they learn.
We tend to avoid surprises in business…but innovation is built on surprises and new learning. Seek surprises and reach success!

Batswana students in Sydney lend a hand to the disabled
A small group of Batswana students studying in Australia recently donated more than P5000 worth of therapeutic equipment to the Cheshire Foundation in Mogoditshane.
The Cheshire Foundation is a Botswana-based organisation for disabled children and adults.
The group, which calls itself the Botswana Sydney Association (BSS) donated, amongst other things, a digital blood monitor, a work bench with weights, puzzles, bicycles, a ball bath pool and a wall mirror to the foundation.
Despite our local society perceiving Batswana students studying across the globe as having too much money, condones being lazy, spoilt and always involved in riots and complaints, the BSS has proved them wrong as is shown by the work they have done," said Samuel Sosoo, Board member of Cheshire Foundation.
According to BSS president, Goabaone Molelekwa, the society established to act as a bridging gap for new Batswana students in Sydney as well as to become a liaison between students and the Botswana High Commission.
"The Botswana Sydney Society came into conception in March 2008 with a primary aim of uniting Batswana students living in Sydney and to keep our culture alive…From time to time we meet, cook Setswana food and even speak Setswana."
Clearly aware and grateful for their opportunity of being abroad on government scholarships and getting an allowance, the society decided to sacrifice a certain amount each month to give back to the less fortunate in Botswana.
This, Molelekwa, stressed would be their input in realizing the goals of vision 2016, that of "a kind and companionate nation".
Unable to contain themselves at this unusual gesture, minutes after the closing remarks were given, some children limped towards the bicycles while others crawled to the bath pool and those unable to express themselves any other way, simply wriggled on the floor in sheer excitement.
Speaking on behalf of the Foundation, an emotional Sosoo stated, "I am really touched to the point of tears…that students so far away could sit down and think of giving back."
Encouraging the Society, as this was their first fundraising endeavor, Sosso encouraged the students that, "A thousand miles begin with one mile" and they should therefore continue with the work they were doing to benefit others.
Future plans for BSS include building a shelter for the homeless and in the long run, it is hoped that they will be able to sponsor a child through school which they admitted, would need much saving and supervision.

Discussion in 'Hardware' started by VapingGecko, May 14, 2018.
I have a basically new and stored Rev3 model BilletBox (2015) that I pulled out of closet other day.
I believe the company calls it a "Lila Monster".
I purchased it from a vape shop owner, who bought direct for his wife, had engraved by renowned artist Matthew Hagermann, which took fees and months to wait on.
Then she only used it one week, and he stored for around a yr.
I purchased during Billet craze, & stored for around 2 yrs, and only tested it out to make sure is functional a cpl days back.
I have batteries for it, but I'm sure they need to be replaced by now, I'd think.
Totally rrp is well over $400 NOT including engravings, which I imagine with shipping costs, was prolly around $100.
I can provide more images over phone or Facebook or pvt msg.
I'll add further pix of Boros & extras in comments. I may have some other related items to ship with as bonus.
Then I'll post to Billet groups if there's no interest.
PRICE: $275 incl Continental US shipping.
CASH via PayPal or US Postal MO ONLY.
Not really looking to partout honestly... but perhaps.
- NEW Authentic Hex Ohm V3 w/ new set of batts.
- A Lipo powered custom mod of quality.
- Decent USED Squonk mod in Ultem or Delrin w/ new bottles.
Would prefer a Regulated squonk or Mosfet Mech.
I'm not interested in any addys, or 3D printed items of any kind.

Just saw you posted that li-mo earlier and thought about that. Hell I can't keep up with my juul.
I wasn't a big Eagles listener before recent years, just, ya know, like Hotel California on the radio and such.
Yes... I'll take them and post today.
I had meant to do so already, but wasn't an overwhelming response of interest.
I was also about to post in Billet Classifieds, since I have a few days off finally from work.
But I'll chat with you before doing so, now, incase you're interested.
Apparently was incorrect regarding Boros.
I have a lightly Used Black boro, and a NEW Blk boro, I thought my new one was White.
I'm hopeful to sell today or tomorrow, so can ship Monday or Tuesday on days OFF.
I'll post in other buy/sell groups Classifieds shortly.
As there's no interest here.

All colours of Blackwood Casting Crystal are in stock and available from Dicastglass near Hamilton, NZ. You can order Blackwood Casting Crystal in 1kg amounts from the Dicastglass online store and it will be delivered direct to you.
Manufactured in Victoria, Australia, Blackwood is the casting glass of choice for full time caster Di Tocker. Di loves the organic colour mixes, that have full compatibility with each other, and release fantastically from the plaster/silica moulds she uses in her practice. Blackwood Casting Crystal is also very responsive to cold-working.
Bronze (see images) was introduced to the glass casters pallet in 2014, soon to follow was citrus (a pale yellow) and soon to arrive (after some final compatibility tests) will be pink.


Your security guard Melbourne professional needs to have the skills, experience, and equipment to give the best performance and deliver optimal results. In addition to these key elements, the best security guard Melbourne require extensive accreditation, being subject to qualifications requirements enforced by Victoria Police and regulatory bodies.
Our Melbourne security guards satisfy all of the above, ensuring you hire a security guard that is skilled and experienced in the profession and that has obtained the relevant qualifications and licenses.
In addition to their experience and qualifications, our Melbourne security guards understand the importance of customer service and client-focused service delivery. We strive to establish and develop lasting professional relationships with each and every client, where possible, in order to deliver the best security services and solutions available in Melbourne. We understand that the most effective security services, and the best performing security guards, are able to adapt to the unique needs and circumstances of our clients.
For clients who require an on-site security presence, our security guards are capable of monitoring security risks and maintaining a secure environment in a range of settings and situations. Whether it is a business premises, including car parks and construction sites, or property and grounds (schools, hospitals etc.) our Melbourne security guards provide a highly-visible security presence.
Depending on the unique security requirements and circumstances of the client, our security guards will maintain a fixed position and/or conduct patrols and checks at predetermined intervals, all the while monitoring goings on and watching for security risks.
Our Melbourne bodyguard service recognises the heightened requirement for close personal security and strategic implementation of security services for some clients here in Melbourne. Bodyguards are required to go above and beyond the level of service provided by other security guards, as they are personally responsible for the personal security of their client and must do everything in their power to protect them from security threats.
Our Melbourne bodyguards understand that effective personal security is all about risk identification and management, meaning that our bodyguards are experienced in monitoring and responding to changes in the environment that could influence security in any given situation.
Your Melbourne bodyguard is a close-protection professional, capable of filling the role of driver, assistance, concierge, and security advisor. As your closest and most effective security asset, your bodyguard is your right-hand-man and will inform you of any potential security risks so that you can adjust your plans accordingly.
Function and event security requires experience and skill owing to the dynamic nature of the security environment in such circumstances as parties or public gatherings. The flow of emotion and energy in the crowd can be difficult to predict, requiring event security guards to be vigilant and responsive at all times.
With this in mind, our event security guards understand that their role is to ensure a function or event is a success for the client. This means that the visible presence or level of engagement on the part of our security guards is determined by the client.
Do you want uniformed security guards at your function, or would you rather have plain-clothed security guards mingling with the crowd and keeping an eye on things? With us, you are in control of your event security.
For clients who do not have fixed or high-risk security requirements, it is simply not cost-effective to hire security guards by the hour. Mobile security patrols are the solution for clients in this situation, enabling them to receive periodic checks on the security of their home or business at intervals decided upon by them.
A mobile security patrol is a small security team, usually two security guards, who are based in a vehicle equipped with lights and communications equipment. The mobile patrol team travels along a predetermined route, stopping at given intervals to conduct checks on client premises located across the route.
When the mobile patrol arrives at a client's premises, they will exit their vehicle and conduct a security check. The level of comprehensiveness involved in these security checks is up to the client, who is able to request very thorough internal security checks or settle with a brief perimeter check. It is this level of cost flexibility which makes mobile security patrols such an attractive alternative to hiring security guards by the hour, especially when security services are required after hours or in remote/unserviced locations.
Guardia's security guard Melbourne professionals are capable of maintaining the optimal level of security in a wide range of situations or circumstances. Capable of adapting their duties to the specific requirements of each individual client, our security guards call on their experience and qualifications to adapt to dynamic and high-risk security environments. Whatever the client, whatever the risk, our Melbourne security guards have the professional and personal skills to deliver optimal security outcomes for Melbourne businesses, organisations, and individuals alike.
When you access our Melbourne security guard services, we ensure that you are in complete control of the visibility and comprehensiveness of your security coverage. Our security guards are qualified and trained to adapt their varied skill sets to meet security risks in whatever form they may take. Our service is built upon risk detection, risk minimisation, and constant monitoring of and communication regarding developing security situations and risks.
For the best security guard Melbourne has to offer, contact Guardia Risk today on (03) 9863 9701, or send a message and one of our staff will follow up within 12 hours.

As a Virtual Assistant, I work in many different clients' Infusionsoft accounts. One of the questions that always comes up (if not by them, then in my mind) is whether to use order forms or product links within the shopping cart. I have very few clients that use the shopping cart itself within Infusionsoft. If we go the shopping cart route, then we are using product links.
Not sure what Infusionsoft is? Then click here for more information.
Most clients have a sales page and they need a link to sell their product or program, which you can do through order forms or product links in the shopping cart. So which is better? The order forms are much easier to set up than the shopping cart but are also limited in their capabilities.
Do you want to offer PayPal as an option at checkout?
If you do, then you'll need to use the shopping cart. PayPal is not offered as a choice of payment in the order forms, only credit cards.
Will you be offering coupon or discount codes?
If so, then, once again, the shopping cart is the answer. You cannot use coupon or discount codes in the order forms.
Will you be offering a multi-payment plan, like full pay, 2-pay, 6-pay?
If you're only offering two options — like full pay and 2-pay — then you can use the order form. But if you're going to offer more than two choices, then the shopping cart is the way you'll need to go.
Do you want your customers to be able to purchase more than one of a specific item?
If yes, then the shopping cart is the answer.
Do you want customers to be able to continue shopping?
Yes? Then again, the shopping cart is the way to go.
With all the answers pointing towards the shopping cart, you might be wondering why you would ever use the order form. Well, it's easier to set up, first and foremost. You can have customers go to a specific thank you page specific to each order form, and thereby, specific to each product. While you can do this in the shopping cart, it takes a few more steps to get there and the novice Infusionsoft user may not have the knowledge to do it.
You can have action items specific to both, so they're equal in that area.
Hopefully that has helped clear up some confusion about Infusionsoft's order forms and shopping carts, but if not, feel free to contact me with any questions.


Birdteq works with small and large construction companies throughout the UK. We have carried out large fouling clearances and installed varying bird deterrent systems to new build projects and renovation projects.
Many commercial new building projects will include an architectural requirement for bird control proofing installations. In our experience these are generally carried out at the end of the new build, once painting and cladding are completed. Birdteq works with it's construction company clients to install our bird deterrent systems at the right time, so project completion dates are not delayed.
Our services are commonly called upon for renovation projects. Many old buildings have feral pigeon infestations, resulting in heavily guano contaminated areas. Our bird fouling removal service leaves sites safe and hygienic.
All Birdteq staff are CSCS card holders and access trained with IPAF and PASMA. Our staff are regularly trained in asbestos awareness, hand and power tool usage, working at height and construction related health and safety.
Birdteq is safety accredited with CHAS and trade accredited with the National Pest Technicians Association.
Further examples of some of our bird proofing installations can be seen on our Projects page.
The museum under went a £25 million revamp. BAMM and Exeter City council required many areas to be netted to prevent gulls and pigeons from nesting around sensitive environmental control plant areas. There were stipulations we had to meet, there were net height restrictions in several areas due to planning restrictions and no drilling was allowed in certain areas. We submitted our surveys and drawn up plans and after several meetings, were awarded the bird proofing project.
All the brackets and support poles were specially designed and fabricated for this project. This photo is of the central roof plant area, the supporting poles between the chimneys allowed for access to the metal staircase. Talanised wood was chosen as the material to build the gates for all the access areas, aluminium could have been another option but this would have been costly. The gates will be treated every three years with linseed oil.
In this rear plant area there was a net height restriction, netting would be too high over the gantry for planning permission. To prevent bird entry via the ladder access points, gates were incorporated into the netting design. Birds might still land on the gantry but would not have entry to the plant area below.
The lagging covering roof pipe work was being damaged by gulls, contractors fitted a top layer of protective rubber but when the gulls started pecking at this as well, we were requested to prevent this happening. We had these galvanised angled net supports with welded footplates made, no holes were allowed in the stainless steel parapet wall capping. The supports are held in place by the barrel strained wire. Net access points were positioned at each shut off valve point. Drilling into the protective rubber covering was prohibited. These fabricated brackets were held in place by the barrel strained wire, the wire was tensioned enough to attach the net to.


Cousiño-Macul is a Chilean wine icon, the country's oldest vineyard still in the same family, that had gone more than 25 years without refreshing their brand or communicating anything new to consumers. With a wealth of winemaking history and decades of tradition to their name, this family winery needed to couple their legacy with a contemporary approach.
The client sought DAf's support in the area of brand development; through Branding and Brand Communications.
The branding phase included strategy, market research, brand repositioning and the redesign of Cousiño-Macul's corporate image and materials. Later, in the brand communications phase, DAf employed local insights to develop a communication campaign concept, which was then captured in a key visual and videos for digital and OOH channels.
The challenge was to create and execute this full campaign in such a way as to attract younger wine drinkers to Cousiño-Macul, without alienating their loyal consumer base.
We began the process by leading market research with a third-party consultancy, designed to deliver both quantitative and qualitative insights into consumer perception of Cousiño-Macul.
The results were solid, revealing three main takeaways. Firstly, despite not changing a stroke on labels or communications in a quarter century, the brand was perceived positively by the Chilean people, particularly residents of Santiago. Secondly, the wine itself was viewed as having an excellent taste, aroma and good portfolio of grape varieties. Thirdly, while its competitors ranked higher in terms of consumer top-of-mind, the Cousiño-Macul brand was still firmly ingrained in their collective psyche.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Cousiños helped build and shape Santiago as it is today. They brought over some of the first vines from France, were instrumental in 19th Century politics, built some of the city's most iconic buildings, parks and avenues, and were largely responsible for kick-starting the industrial revolution in Chile. For this reason, the family name has become almost synonymous with Santiago—a part of the collective memory of the people.
Through this campaign we sought to strengthen these assets and take Cousiño-Macul out of the purely traditional, repositioning it a timeless, classic brand. For inspiration, we looked to the world of high fashion and the strategies some such brands have used to reinvent consumer perception and open the doors to younger consumers without sacrificing elegance and timelessness.
Working with the client, we proposed the idea of empowering the capital of Santiago itself as Cousiño-Macul's icon. In this way, we aimed to modernize the figure of Isidora Goyenechea, accompanied by the brand's reinvigorated family seal and campaign claim "Santiago tiene un sello": the monogram being the family seal, and the family being the city's.
In this way, the city and the Cousiños are inseparable.
A new color palette, typography and logo was designed. Knowing that the rebranding had to stand strong for many years, our designs were a natural evolution of the brand's visual codes. We chose a contemporary, coral-focused color palette, modernized the family monogram, selected new typography and refreshed the logotype. A suite of printed assets was designed to align with this new branding.
We redesigned several key products from Cousiño-Macul's portfolio, including a new limited edition called Jardín de Macul after the family's famous botanical gardens. The new labels' sleeker look modernizes Cousiño-Macul's premium cues and reinforces recognition of its new branding.
Shot in Palacio Cousiño, a sumptuous 19th Century mansion once belonging to the family, the key visual evokes the world of fashion and features today's embodiment of the style and personality of Isidora Goyenechea. For our model, we chose couture by Sebastián del Real Ossa, a young Chilean designer whose work has been lauded by the critics in recent years.
The video was shot on-location in Santiago, entirely in avenues and buildings that are or were Cousiño family icons. The content, therefore, is 100% linked to the family's history and direction for the future.
It is currently being shown on all the brand's social channels, as well as playing on all LATAM flights before individual entertainment commences.
The out of home campaign includes LED light boxes displayed in a number of prominent Santiago avenues.
The key visual was printed in Vamos, a publication by LATAM Airlines.
Turning the traditional into a timeless classic.

Clarifications Regarding Mr. Luke Barry
By Bill Franzen
Luke Barry has asked the Laramie Times to correct a number of points in a write-up of him published April 2, 1873.
There was no family business providing locally made whiskey and underage dancers to Laramie saloons and therefore any suggestion that gun violence may have been threatened to obtain payments would be unfounded.
Mr. Barry never traded illegally obtained firearms to Dark Alley Dan, to the Butler Brothers, or to certain renegade elements of the Cheyenne.
At no time did Mr. Barry encourage street duels between cowboys under the influence, and he has never personally profited from any wagering over such shoot-outs.
Mr. Barry does not owe Betsy Ryan any money, nor did he tell her he was leaving his wife, nor did he ever have delivered to her hotel room a large bottle of French perfume from San Francisco along with three dozen orchids and a pearl-handled derringer.
Pete (Three-Finger) Pierre was never a close business associate of Mr. Barry. And four flour sacks with cutout eyeholes resembling those used in the armed robbery of the Laramie First National were described, erroneously, as having been found in Mr. Barry's possession.
Mr. Barry was off visiting kinfolk in Wichita the week two visiting Pinkerton detectives perished in a mysterious livery stable fire.
Mr. Barry was misidentified as the individual at the Lode Star Saloon observed to be laughing and yee-hawing and firing his Colt six-shooter at a Wyoming land officer who soon bled out on a billiard table. Charges that Mr. Barry routinely took over the property of local tax delinquents remain unsubstantiated.
There is no direct evidence that the masked gunslinger who shot and wounded Mr. Barry in a barbershop was settling a score. Nor is there any proof that the shooting was connected to a highly touted "Hidden Gold Mine" map later ascertained to be a fake.
The allegation that Mr. Barry had hired known killers to murder Matt Barry, his identical twin, as part of a scheme to feign his own death remains unproven.
The Laramie Times wishes to apologize to Mr. Luke Barry for these errors, and we are relieved to set the record straight.

WhatsApp Will Let You Message Without Being Seen Online
In a future release of WhatsApp beta for Android, iOS, and Desktop, there will be some wonderful news. The company is now working on the capability to hide the online status for a future update of the program after stating that WhatsApp is creating some significant features, such as the ability to edit messages!
Many people have asked for the ability to disguise their online status over the years. People may choose to use WhatsApp in stealth mode for a variety of reasons, including the desire to avoid being bothered by other users or the feeling of being monitored.
This is a good approach to provide feedback to WhatsApp. WhatsApp has developed a feature that will allow users to pick who may see when they are active on WhatsApp and will be made accessible in a future update in response to customer feedback!
As you can see in this screenshot, two new options—"Everyone" and "Same as Last Seen"—will allow you to control who may see when we are online within our last seen settings. For instance, choosing "My contacts" for "Last Seen" and "Same as Last Seen" for "online" ensures that people who are not in your contact list cannot see when you are online.
In order to stop third-party apps from tracking our last seen and online status, WhatsApp started automatically obscuring the last seen to people you've never talked with last year.
Sadly, those who we had previously communicated with could still see when we were online, but that will no longer be the case owing to the new privacy setting "who can see when I'm online." Even though the screenshot was taken while WhatsApp beta for iOS was still in development, it should be noted that WhatsApp plans to add the same feature in a later update of WhatsApp beta for Android and Desktop beta as well.
We regrettably do not yet know the specific date that this feature will be made available to the general public because it is still in development.

March madness – a plethora of posts – a newsletter recapping them. So many topics mandated a discussion, some analysis or insight. So the unusually long month of March meant an unusually long list of seven blog posts, including several involving examinations of data and new terminology (the paid Caregiver Support Ratio (pCSR), for example) that invite scrutiny and can be very useful for companies in the age-related market segments. As March winds to a close, here are the month's posts, of particular use to those who didn't see them at the time of posting – each of these is summarized with the full link in the heading.
Aging in America – hosting innovators and technologists for helping older adults. The conference seesaws between west coasts (San Francisco 2018) and the windy city of Chicago, where it was this year – offering up a full program of sessions across the week of March 20-24. Bookending this conference, which offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for social service professionals, was What's Next Boomer Summit and the Aging 2.0 Chicago Pitch Event. The Pitch winner was i65, a tool to help professionals provide guidance on Medicare. That event also included TeleCalm – an intriguing telephone service to help block unwanted calls, including a tool for caregivers to create a trusted list of callers.
Consider the Gallup-Healthways survey about community well-being. Naples, Florida, is at the top. Really? Perhaps this caught your eye last week when you saw the Gallup survey about well-being. For those who missed it, the survey ranked well-being of adults 18 and older in a community (town) by specific factors -- Purpose, Social, Financial, Community, and Physical. At the highest level, Naples was followed by the town of Barnstable on Cape Cod. Consider that the attribute 'Physical,' for example, meant "Having good health and enough energy to get things done daily." So look past the survey. These towns are comparatively wealthy by national measures -- the median income for a household in Naples is $66K and for those over age 75, it is $71K. For Barnstable, median income is $62.1K – and note that 20% of the Barnstable population is 65+, higher than the 135 national percentage. In Naples, the median age is 60 and an eye-popping 42% of the population is aged 65+.

Mandela's '89: More than just a Birthday
by aminforji in All News
Occasion used to campaign against racism, HIV-AIDS, poverty and formation of council of elders
                                By   Amin George Forji
Former South Africa president, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is undoubtedly one of the worlds' most famous living legends. He is equally one of the worlds' most loved and respected political leaders. No wonder that world celebrities joined South Africans to commemorate his 89th birthday on Wednesday July 18, 2007, like no other in recent memory. Â
Some of the high profile personalities at the festivities included former US presidents: Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, former UN Sec. General, Kofi Annan, Bangladeshi 2006 Nobel Peace Price laureate Muhammad Yunus, former Irish President Mary Robinson, FIFA's vice president Jack Warner, Brazilian soccer legend, Pele, and the three times African footballer of the year and Cameroonian striker, Samuel Eto'o.
The incumbent government of Thabo Mbeki had earlier over the weekend launched a series of week-long festivities in honour of one of the country's most revered sons.
One of the major spotlights of the birthday festivities was the late night international soccer match dubed "90 Minutes for Mandela", pitting the worlds' XI Versus the African XI, which ended in a 3-3 draw, featuring some famous soccer players such as Brazilian Pele, Chilean Ivan Zamorano, Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o, Ghana's Abedi Pele, Egypt's Hossam Hassan, Holland's Ruud Gullit and Spain's Julen Guerrero.
But Mandela's '89 festivities was not just a birthday celebration. It was wisely used it's organizers as a springboard to kick away several ills and stakes affecting humankind the world-over. These include the spoils of racism and discrimination, the threat of HIV-AIDS pandemic, humanitarian crises, poverty, etc. And there could be no better place to launch such a diverse campaign than in South Africa, whose history embodies all of these.
Prior to the "90 Minutes for Mandela", soccer players assembled in the morning at the Makana FA's pitch on Robben Island where Mandela was jailed for 27 years, kicking symbolic 89 goals against racism.
FIFA had earlier also presented the "birthday boy" with two special number 89 jerseys handled over to him by Jack Warner, Pele and Eto'o.
"I am deeply honoured to receive this tribute from Fifa, but it must always be remembered that I was one of many who fought for freedom from tyranny and racism. …It is fitting, therefore, that Fifa will also pay homage to the Makana Football Association on Robben Island," Mandela said while receiving the present.
"It is a unique occasion for us to be welcomed by a living legend of democracy and anti-discrimination as he celebrates his birthday. The Fifa president is very sorry he could not make it due to other commitments," Warner, FIFA's vice president said in reply.
Mandela also used the occasion to launch what he termed the Global Council of Elders, comprised of worlds' former statesmen, aimed at working out solutions on pertinent world crises such as AIDS, diseases, conflicts and poverty.
Racial discrimination was officially institutionalized in 1948 in South Africa, with the enactment of apartheid laws. Every aspect of social life was touched by the race laws. For instance, some areas of the country were marked as "white only." Marriage between white and black was expressly prohibited and blacks could not access "white-only" jobs. Most blacks languished in poverty-a big contrast with the white ruling class. In fact, they were required to always carry with them "pass books" that provided information on their rights of access to non-black areas.
Today, the country is one of the most affected countries with HIV-AIDS in the world, with at least two in every five persons said to be living with the illness.
Under apartheid in South Africa, a black person had no right of protest. Apartheid is an Afrikaans word, which means "apart-hood" — living apart. In practice, it meant more than just living apart — it was a system of racial segregation. Your rights and treatment as a citizen depended on whether you were classified racially and "legally" as white or black.
The penalties for violation were extremely severe, irrespective of whether such protest was violent or non-violent. Penalties included life imprisonment, banishment and death. Under the race laws, anyone could be jailed by a low-level police officer without a hearing for up to six months with hard labor. In reality, a police cell was a torture chamber, aimed at deterring protests.
Nelson Mandela is one of those who ventured to out rightly challenge the apartheid rule, with the outcome being that he was confined to twenty-seven years in an isolated prison in Robben Island, making him the world's longest political prisoner. Upon his release from prison, he was elected as Head of State, with absolute majority, making him both the first ever person to be elected in an open democratic contest in South Africa, and the first democratically elected leader in Africa as a whole. He stood down in 1999, after serving a single term, with an approval rating of 8.2 on 10.

A few weeks ago I came across a tube of spicy almonds in a Lick My Dip box (reviewed over on All Subscription Boxes) which were quite frankly the best almonds I've ever tasted in my life.
I professed my love for them on Instagram and was pleasantly surprised when the founder of Kinomi Nuts, a lovely lady named Hiromi Stone, got in touch with me to ask if I'd like to try the other flavoured nuts that she makes. I readily accepted and received a package of all three to sample.
Kinomi Nuts is the brainchild of Hiromi Stone, who runs her company from London and hand makes all the products herself - her nickname is the 'Willy Wonka of Nuts!'. She combines high-quality organic nuts with exquisite blends of Japanese flavours and spices, making them taste completely different to anything that I've ever tried before. These are then packaged into the most beautiful tubes which would make ideal stocking fillers, but only if you can stop yourself from wanting to eat them all that is!
'Waku Waku' describes those butterfly feelings of excitement, and these cashews are definitely something to feel waku waku about. They're seasoned with an unusual blend of Artic Seaweed from Norway and Sumac which is sourced from Iran, as well as Kinomi's signature gluten-free Soy sauce glaze. The cashews have a slight first crunch when you bite into them and then they transform into a creamy, almost melt-in-your mouth texture, with that interesting seasoning that tastes like nothing I've experienced before. It's sort of subtly salty from the seaweed and soy sauce, and has a fresh lemony tang from the Sumac which compliments the cashews perfectly.
These nuts are seriously out of this world, and that's something that I never thought I'd be saying on this blog! 'Pori Pori' describes a crunchy sound in Japanese and these almonds have a wonderfully satisfying crunch to them. The minute that you prise open the lid of the tube, you're instantly greeted with this alluring smoky scent that reminds me of BBQs mixed with hot spices. Flavoured with Indian Amchur, Sake, Kombu, gluten-free Soy sauce and Smoked Red Jalapeno, these Pori Pori Almonds are a sheer delight for the taste buds. Packed full of flavour with a hint of spice and lots of smoky goodness, they are utterly moreish and it's very easy to eat the entire tube in one serving. You'll have to experience these for yourselves because I won't be sharing them!
'Pika Pika' describes something shiny and as you can see from the photo above, these pecans have a delectable shine to them. The extra large organic Pecans are sourced from Peru, and are coated in a lightly sweet and savoury combination of Kaffir Lime, Kampot Pepper, gluten free Soy sauce, Sake, Kombu and Palmyra Sugar. The lime comes through the strongest to me, and I can taste a little kick of pepper and then some sweetness. Like all of the other flavours, it's unique, different and very tasty.
Would you try something like these?

Due to the widespread popularity of theories first expounded in Physiognomische Fragmente zur Beförderung der Menschenkenntnis und Menschenliebe by Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801), eighteenth- and nineteenth-century intellectuals viewed portraits as presenting clear information on a variety of aspects of the subject's personality—qualities that their usual approach to biography, which focused only on verifiable facts, omitted. This aspect of portraiture is largely lost on modern music historians.
For example, in 1871 the English cleric and writer Hugh Reginald Haweis provided this interpretation of George Dance's portrait of Haydn (reproduced above): "The face of Haydn is remarkable quite as much for what it does not as for what it does express. No ambition, no avarice, no impatience, very little excitability, no malice.


Most parents have been through it and there really is a learning curve on how much or how little to pack when taking kids on a vacation. With the stringent airline luggage rules, you don't want to be paying for over weight luggage but you also don't want to have to be concerned about finding a place to do laundry while you are away. While some resorts may have self serve laundry facilities, many don't and to have clothing laundered at your resort or on your cruise ship can cost a fortune.
Put all of your travel documents, vouchers and passports and put them together. Just because it's really easy, I put them in a gallon size zipper bag. It's light weight and doesn't add extra weight to my purse or carry on.
Pack a complete change of clothes for each family member in your carry on. This comes in handy with food and drink messes as well as the dreaded times when luggage may be delayed.
Another HUGE tip, split each family member's clothing into different suitcases so, for instance. Don't put all of your clothes in one suitcase if you have multiple suitcases. If one bag is lost, you'll have a few things to wear until your bag is found.
If you are traveling with a baby, bring extra diapers and wipes and call ahead to see if you can purchase diapers and baby food at your resort. There are some family friendly all inclusive resorts that have baby food in the restaurants or in the gift shops. My Vacation Lady's family vacation specialists can guide you to some of those, if you would like that convenience.
Pack plenty of snacks for the flight. String cheese, fruit, finger food are all good choices. Skip the yogurt or juice boxes since they will not be able to go through security.
Pack plenty of toys and activities for the flight. Coloring books may not be high tech but may keep the kids busy for a while. Pack crayons or markers and pipe cleaners in zipper bags to keep them occupied. Remember that Ziploc bags are your friends!
Pack a backpack or rolling carry on bag for each child and have them "help" you pack it with things to keep them busy on the flight and make each child responsible for their own bag.
Down load a lot of movies on your tablet and bring head phones so the kids won't disturb other passengers while watching Frozen for the 99th time.
Reward good behavior with "travel certificates" which can be traded in for a special souvenir or to be able to pick out a special fun activity to do.
Pack a bathing suit in your carry on it you are heading to a beach resort or a cruise. After travel, let the kids go for a swim and burn off some energy.
Remember that family vacations make life long memories. My kids who are now adults still bring up things that we did on family vacations when they were growing up. Help your kids collect memories– not things! My Vacation Lady can help make your next family vacation easy and stress free.


There was a time Branson could move 50 dreams in a single night. After 10 years dealing dreams, he'd become the top ace. It was a hungry world out there, and he was damn good at feeding it.
He took a hard-right turn, leaving the poorly-lit sidewalk and entering an alleyway littered with spilled garbage cans and indistinguishable shapes wrapped in shadow. His steps echoed off the cement buildings to either side, announcing his presence to the scurrying rats and the vagrants who battled them for real estate.
We're all so busy looking down at our feet (perhaps at our glowing screens), we forget to look up…and wonder what might be looking back. Is there other intelligent life in the universe? What would happen if they contacted Earth? How would human civilization respond to such a communication? Would we band together and welcome our visitors, or would we separate into factions, divided by our feelings about the merits of saving the human race?

How to Blow Up a Rock (With Video!)
How to Blow Up a Rock in 6 Steps (With Video!)
We came. We sawed. We blasted. And, along the way, we learned new tricks for conquering stone.
By Roy Berendsohn Published: Jul 24, 2008
It was clear that the rock had to go. How it came to its stubborn rest in the meadow mattered less than how we'd move it. The big brute could have been deposited by a glacier, or some previous century's farm boys may have wearied of sliding, rolling and cajoling it. But it was the rock that had the last word, and it stayed put, near a line of trees and brush on PM contributing editor Tom Klenck's property. Tom had mowed around it for years and had grown tired of having a rock dictate how he cut his own meadow. So, on a late spring afternoon, we decided to do something about it. Digging the toes of our boots into the weeds enshrouding the rock, we resolved to break it up, if we could, and move it away.
Look First
I had to repress the urge to pick up a hammer and start the rock removal process by taking a few swings. That's a waste of time in a job like this. The first step is exploratory. Get a clear look at the rock to determine its size and whether it has existing cracks to exploit. Ours was surrounded by some saplings and a lush stand of goldenrod. We chopped them down, then probed the rock's perimeter with a 6-ft.-long wrecking bar. A profanity-laced hour later we determined that it went at least a couple of feet underground. We drew up a battle plan: Open existing cracks, then blast and saw our way through what remained.
We grabbed a handful of steel wood-splitting wedges, donned safety glasses and drove the wedges into a long crack using a 10-pound sledge. Tom and I took turns playing John Henry, and 15 or 20 minutes of hard driving was all it took to loosen the rock's top. It gave way with a satisfying pop, but it was heavy, around 500 pounds--and there it sat, smugly. Drastic measures were called for.
Drill It and Shoot It
In rock-removal parlance, using explosives is called "shooting." I'm not sure if anything about this work can be considered fun, exactly, but shooting a rock comes pretty close. We turned to new technology: the Micro-Blaster. Sold as a kit ($700 to $1700, depending on the model), it enables homeowners, contractors, landscapers and farmers to safely smash boulders. It makes less noise than a 22-cal. rifle and is so safe you don't need a federal blaster's license.
This unique small-scale system uses pencil-thin cartridges containing smokeless powder. They're inserted in 5/16-in.-dia. holes bored with a rotary hammer drill. Once placed, these are detonated mechanically, with a device powered by compressed air or a CO2 cartridge--the same kind used in paintball guns.
We bored three holes in the slab and scrupulously cleaned out the dust and chips with compressed air supplied by a portable 5-gal. tank. Don't make the mistake I did, of sticking your face above the hole as you clean. My safety glasses protected my eyes but the debris shot out with volcanic force, and it hurt. I'm glad my mouth was closed.
It's important that the bore be clean because it removes debris that can prevent the firing pin from striking the primer on the cartridge. We also scrubbed the bore with a brush that comes in the Micro-Blaster kit. Next came two cartridges per hole (the maximum), with the firing mechanism snugged at the top. We paid out the pneumatic hose from the three mechanisms, and led them to the detonating device. Standing back about 25 ft., I glanced nervously at Tom. "Ready?" I asked. He shrugged. I unlocked the device and slid its safety to the firing position. When I moved its latch forward to send the compressed air to the firing pins, the slab threw off a cloud of dust and instantly cracked.
As I walked up through the smoke, I felt pretty cocky, a sledgehammer on my shoulder. It's gratifying to make a big piece of rock submit. We easily broke the weakened material into manageable pieces and slid each onto a heavy wooden sled, known as a stone boat. Tom had built it just for this job. He then towed the debris into the woods using his John Deere.
Cutting In
To deal with the remaining stump--a massive piece of stone in its own right--we turned to a Husqvarna Cut-n-Break, a 71 cc wet-cutting saw with parallel diamond-grit blades. As a rental item, it costs about $100 a day, plus a blade-use fee.
I'll tell you something, explosives are satisfying, but so is giving full throttle to a big saw. Stone slurry, I learned, is the cutting agent that enables the blades to slice through rock as though it were lumber. I carefully laid the 9-in. spinning blades on the rock and pulled the saw back. A wickedly abrasive mixture of rock particles and water shot off the blades, onto the guard--and covered my boots. Rubber overshoes are advised while using this rig. I didn't wear them, and I needed to get my work boots resoled afterward.
Compared to a single-blade saw, this twin-blade machine is an innovation; it produces a channel that's extremely deep--and wide. It forms two parallel kerfs separated by a 1/2-in.-wide stone band. I cut these kerfs, then set the saw down and took up the breaker bar that comes with it. This tool has a screwdriver tip on one end and a hook on the other. I snapped off the stone band using the screwdriver tip, then hooked out the debris.
I continued until I had made a cut about 4 in. deep. Tom took over and made another cut parallel to mine, producing a free-standing rib about 2 in. wide. We made several of these and broke off each with a sledgehammer.
One row at a time, we worked down until there was nothing left of the boulder but a dish-shaped remainder well below grade. We began to pry it up, but thought better of it. Instead, we grabbed shovels and backfilled the hole--a fitting end to a dirty job.
A rock is usually covered by weeds, vines or dirt, so we first cleared the way to expose its surface.
Driving wedges can widen existing cracks.
Fire When Ready
Micro-Blaster cartridges are smokeless powder charges.
We bored holes in the rock, cleaned them, and placed the charges. Next, we slid the firing mechanism tube into the hole and led its hose back to a triggering device--a valve that permits air to flow to the pneumatically actuated firing pin. Once triggered, the expanding gas from the cartridges cracks the rock into manageable pieces.
Cutting Class
We used a Cut-n-Break to transform the rock stump into breakable rows. We made sure to keep the water hose out of the way as we sawed down.
The 22-pound saw's twin blades produce two kerfs. We snapped the stone between them and raked out the slices.

More Than 2,000 Russian Scientists Have Written an Open Letter Protesting Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
By Вистиномер.мк On Mar 7, 2022 0
FotoГенералштабот на вооружените сили на Украина,
The military action, according to the Russian academic community, leads to the international isolation of Russia, something that will directly harm the country, because "scientific research cannot be imagined without full cooperation with colleagues from other countries, and Russia's isolation from the world means further cultural and technological degradation of the country in the absence of positive prospects".
More than 2,000 Russian academics, members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, scientists, journalists and intellectuals protested in an open letter against the military action launched by Russia against Ukraine. According to the signatories, the responsibility for starting a new war in Europe falls entirely on Russia, which has no rational justification for this war.
Attempts to use the situation in Donbas as an excuse for a military operation do not inspire any confidence. It is clear that Ukraine does not pose a threat to the security of our country. The war against it is unjust and frankly meaningless. Ukraine was and remains a country close to us. Many of us have relatives, friends and fellow scientists living in Ukraine. Our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought together against Nazism. The launching of a war over the geopolitical ambitions of the leadership of the Russian Federation, prompted by dubious fantasies, is a cynical betrayal of their memory, the letter reads.
But the hardest thing for this scientific community, as the letter reads, is that Russia, "which made a decisive contribution to the victory over Nazism, has now become the instigator of a new war on the European continent."
We demand an immediate end to all military operations against Ukraine. We demand respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state. We demand peace for our countries, the open letter ends.

Column: Supreme Court must allow COVID-19 state lawsuits to proceed
by Dave Dickey, Columnist September 7, 2022 January 20, 2023
A Wolf left his lair one evening in fine spirits and an excellent appetite. As he ran, the setting sun cast his shadow far out on the ground, and it looked as if the wolf were a hundred times bigger than he really was.
"Why," exclaimed the Wolf proudly, "see how big I am! Fancy me running away from a puny Lion! I'll show him who is fit to be king, he or I."
Just then an immense shadow blotted him out entirely, and the next instant a Lion struck him down with a single blow.
– Aesop's Fables
Pretending to be something you are not has dire consequences.
It's a lesson that Tyson Foods Inc. is learning the hard way.
Back in 2020 in response to the novel Coronavirus, the Trump administration, working secretly hand-in-glove with Big Meat, schemed to keep meat packer plants open with little regard for the safety of employees.
The back-room conversations between Big Meat and USDA were in response to the April 2020 temporary shutdown of Smithfield Foods' Sioux Falls, South Dakota, facility where hundreds of workers were COVID-19 positive.
In the span of eight days following the shutdown:
Smithfield CEO Ken Sullivan contacted the president and CEO of Tyson Noel White suggesting the president should issue an executive order to keep meat plants open.
Sullivan made an email pitch to National Beef, JBS and Cargill: "Positive cases, fear-driven absenteeism, and disincentives to work are threatening the country's protein supply." Sullivan called for "a Presidential Executive order invoking the Defense Production Act as a mechanism to manage public perception and state/local interdiction."
Tyson Foods and Smithfield Foods sent the feds what they wanted, including specific language for the executive order.
On April 28 – a week and a day after the Sioux Falls shutdown, POTUS signed the executive order:
"Under the delegation of authority provided in this order, the Secretary of Agriculture shall take all appropriate action under that section to ensure that meat and poultry processors continue operations consistent with the guidance for their operations jointly issued by the CDC and OSHA."
The executive order by and large kept meat packer plants operational despite the avoidable loss of life to COVID. Investigate Midwest reports since April 2020 there have been at least 423 meat plant worker deaths spanning 67 plants in more than half the states in the nation. In all, there have been more than 86,000 reported meat worker cases of COVID-19.
Not surprising, it wasn't long before survivors and families of deceased workers began to sue Tyson in state courts. In Buljic v. Tyson Foods, Inc., Hus Buljic said Tyson knowingly lied to workers resulting in five deaths and more than 1,000 COVID infections. For its part, Tyson wanted no part of a state jury trial and moved to relocate the trial to federal courts because the presidential executive order meant Tyson was acting "at the direction of a federal officer." Tyson claims that because former President Donald Trump declared meatpacking plants critical infrastructure during the COVID pandemic, Big Meat could invoke the Federal Officer Removal Statute, which would shut out the filing of COVID wrongful death cases in state courts.
But Tyson hasn't had any success in making its case in either district or appellate courts that the executive order protected it from worker liability lawsuits filed in state courts.
Last December, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled Tyson was, in fact, not acting at the direction of a federal officer.
"Tyson argues that from the earliest days of the pandemic, the federal government enlisted it to fulfill a basic governmental task — ensuring that the national food supply would not be interrupted — and thus Tyson was acting under federal direction while operating its Waterloo facility in March and April 2020…The record, however, tells a different story. For one, Tyson conflates the federal government's designation of the 'food and agriculture' sector as critical infrastructure with a finding that Tyson was fulfilling a basic governmental task. In arguing that its work constituted such a task, Tyson cites a 2013 Presidential Policy Directive, which identified sixteen critical infrastructure sectors (including food and agriculture), delegated regulatory authority over those sectors to specific agencies, and stated that critical infrastructure security and resilience are shared responsibilities among various private entities and the federal government.
"Tyson points out that the federal government invoked this critical infrastructure framework to respond to the COVID–19 pandemic in March and April 2020. Relevant here, the President's Coronavirus Guidelines described the 'special responsibility' of critical infrastructure workers to maintain normal schedules, and CISA included 'meat processing' employees on the list of suggested critical infrastructure workers that it sent to state and local officials. But the fact that an industry is considered critical does not necessarily mean that every entity within it fulfills a basic governmental task or that workers within that industry are acting under the direction of federal officers."
And for good measure the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued similar decisions in a pair of cases – Glenn v. Tyson Foods, and Chavez v. Tyson Foods.
Now Tyson is asking the Supreme Court to save its bacon. Tyson's July 22 writ of certiorari is asking the justices to overturn the Eighth Circuit Decision:
"The issue here is profoundly important. In the midst of a national crisis, the federal government demanded the assistance of companies like Tyson to maintain the food supply. When state and local regulations began to interfere with that national imperative, the President issued an Executive Order exhorting continued operations in conformity with federal guidance, despite contrary state and local direction. If companies like Tyson now face liability in state court based on the retroactive imposition of state law requirements that would have frustrated federal objectives, the promise of the Executive Order and the informal directions that preceded it will have proven illusory. And the incentives for the next crisis will be perverse."
Well. Interference is in the eye of the beholder. State health departments' primary concern was for the safety of meat processing employees. Tyson's primary concern was to keep the lines running at all costs.
Plant closure, even temporarily, amounted to interference. And Tyson shouldn't be allowed to create alternative facts to pretend it was acting at the direction of a federal officer to avoid state jury trials.
Hey, Supreme Court, tell Tyson that pretending something you're not has dire consequences. Deny the writ of certiorari.

Beyonce Given Total Control Of 'Vogue's September Cover — Will She Pose Nude?
In an unprecedented move, complete control has been handed over from 'Vogue' Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour to Beyonce for the magazine's legendary September cover, and she's already switching things up.
The Louvre handed over its keys to Beyonce, 36, and now, American Vogue's Editor-in-Chief will too. If there's anyone who'd be allowed to take total creative reign of the magazine's iconic September cover from Anna Wintour, 68, it would be Queen Bey. In Wintour's 30-year run as EIC, this is unheard of, but Beyonce was made head honcho for the cover shoot, thanks to contract obligations from Vogue, according to Huffington Post. We can't imagine what Beyonce plans to do with this newfound authority. Just look at her heavenly twist on the average baby birthday photo, which caused a viral riot on July 13 — and that wasn't backed by a team running the world's leading fashion magazine!
It's only July and Beyonce's already calling shots that are breaking the status quo. For one, she's hired celebrity photographer and filmmaker Tyler Mitchell, 23, to shoot her cover. Not only is he exceptionally young, but most importantly, he's the first person of color ever to photograph a Vogue cover…and the magazine has been around for 126 years. Only a tight bubble of seasoned fashion photographers usually receive the honor to shoot the September cover, but Queen B, who's now a mom to three, flipped that switch quick. Second, she'll also be lending a hand to the editorial side by writing her own captions under her pictures, and don't expect them to be brief!
If all the aforementioned news wasn't groundbreaking enough, word on the street (and many, many news sources) is that Wintour is ending her three-decade tenure as EIC with Vogue! Although Condé Nast has yet to confirm the news, industry sources "have insisted" that the departure is for real, according to our sister website WWD. On top of that rumor is an even more important one: This September issue might be Wintour's last issue EVER. We can't think of a grander exit than appointing American culture's most visible force to run the country's most visible magazine issue. If the rumors are true, you made a wise choice, Ms. Wintour.

I met a BCUIC Rep in Zimbabwe, and Birmingham sounded so vibrant and multicultural. I found out all about the small classes and lots of interaction, and it sounded perfect.
I was in the very first cohort at BCUIC, when it opened in 2013. I'm still good friends with people I met in my first semester – we're like a BCUIC family!
Studying Law at Birmingham City University included mooting, debating, public speaking, using the simulated law courts… We learnt through real-life scenarios and proper industry experience – I spent time at a solicitors' firm and completed a placement with Citizens Advice in my final year, and loved it!
