Image and Objecthood
Santiago Mostyn, Peter Sutherland, Jai Lennard
Santiago Mostyn, Peter Sutherland and Jai Lennard have directed a documentary approach in art making toward a more personal effort. The work in this exhibition evidences their consideration of the unmonumental and betrays a sympathy for an aesthetic experience that is possible in the ordinary.
The focus of Santiago Mostyn's practice is the image. He sees images as the major language and currency of contemporary culture. Mostyn endeavors to enact a separation between an image and its objecthood, or an object and its image perception, which he describes as pure looking. The long paper work contained in this exhibition is a fragment of a larger image taken from a photograph of a real object but with its own ambivalent dimensionality. The partial image becomes a tactile reference due to its material presence of paper folded, unfolded, and hanging. The traditional black and white prints are location and casting stills for a future film montage. In shifting pure imagery away from the forms from which they derive, Mostyn provides the possibility of a new life for the object.
Peter Sutherland's ouvre in film, installation, writing and photography derives from his peripatetic way of life. For over a decade, his place of work has been the unbounded and open road. His recent decision to work in a studio initiated a significant shift in his practice; the making of sculptural objects, which continues his interest in the intuitive capture of the anecdotal and unassuming. Sutherland's work runs counter to a flawless and slick aesthetic. He uses small point and shoot cameras and natural light in his photography; in his sculptures he appropriates objects with an originally quotidian purpose. The subject matter is paramount to Sutherland. Curating unrelated objects leads to poetic possibilities. He says, "Maybe it's about curating things that you enjoy rather than creating it all the time." Through an aesthetic of the prosaic, Sutherland's works explore the pleasures and discomforts of popular culture.
Similar to Sutherland, Jai Lennard's recent engagement with assisted readymades began with his artistic practice in photography. Versed in portraiture, the instillation of chairs in the gallery exists as an extension of his other works, which explore the perverse aspects of everyday people's lives. These people, created by Lennard, explore their desires through their environments while often reliving childhood experiences. Lennard uses the chairs as vehicles to explore potential narratives inherent in a child's complex experience within the classroom; these narratives explore feelings such as isolation, desire, confusion, anger, and fear. As the scenes vary in nature, we are left to wonder if we are witnessing children at play, or an adult wanting to be one.

Will Water Sector Help or Hurt on Climate Change?
The water sector use 19 percent of California's electricity. If more clean energy is used, this presents a big opportunity for the state to move toward meeting its climate goals and for water utilities to realize new economic benefits.
Written by Tara Lohan Published on  June 21, 2016 Read time Approx. 7 minutes
San Diego County Water Authority contracts with Borrego Solar to help supply renewable energy to the Twin Oaks Valley Water Treatment Plant. Borrego Solar
California has been diligently trying to reduce use of fossil fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 350, which requires 50 percent of the electricity from utilities to come from renewable sources by 2030.
But it's not just energy utilities that can add more renewables to their portfolios – water suppliers can, as well, although they aren't mandated to do so.
It takes a lot of energy to pump, treat, deliver and heat water, and to treat and dispose of wastewater. Some water travels hundreds of miles from source to tap. Currently, 19 percent of California's electricity is used by the water sector and end users. And that may increase in the future as more energy will be required to pump groundwater from greater depths and to desalinate or treat recycled water.
"The water sector is at a crossroads," said Juliet Christian-Smith, a climate scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists. "It can become part of the climate problem or part of the solution."
Embracing the Solution
Some water suppliers are already incorporating clean energy into their portfolios. At the top of the list is the Sonoma County Water Agency, which, as of last year, is getting 100 percent of its electricity from carbon-free sources.
They achieved it through power contracting and building a few of their own projects, said Cordel Stillman, the deputy chief engineer of the agency. "We still have emissions from our treatment plants and our vehicle fleets, but as far as electricity is concerned, we have zero greenhouse gas emissions," said Stillman.
They didn't achieve the feat on their own. "We belong to a Joint Powers Authority – it's a group of 13 water agencies and irrigation districts in the state," he said. "We joined together to pool water resources and power resources so this gives us the ability to contract the power sources that we want – we don't have to take what PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric Company) or someone else gives us."
The agency may get to achieve another first in California next year – the country's largest floating solar project. Flat land in Sonoma County has a high value for growing premium grapes and the rolling hills are valued for their aesthetics, so the water agency decided to greenlight a project to put solar panels on floating docks on four holding ponds used to store recycled water. The ponds are bermed (surrounded by mounds of earth) so the panels are not visible from a distance and the panels help prevent evaporation on the ponds.
Stillman said the project is likely to be running by next year and supplying 9MW of electricity, most of which is contracted to go to Sonoma Clean Power, the local electricity provider.
San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA), which has 24 member agencies, may soon follow suit. It is looking at doing 6MW of floating solar on one of its reservoirs. But the agency is already employing other sources of renewable energy.
"There is a water-energy nexus," said Kelly Rodgers, the energy program manager for SDCWA. "We actually formed an energy program about a year ago, just because we realized that a large part of treating and delivering water is the cost of the energy."
SDCWA has solar panels on three of its facilities – two office buildings and a water treatment plant. The panels are part of a power purchase agreement with Borrego Solar, which means that the water agency had no upfront costs and there's no equipment to maintain. "Over 20 years, we are saving about $5.6 million," said Rodgers. "It was a no-cost capital investment for us."
The agency also employs in-line hydro at the Rancho Penasquitos Pressure Control and Hydroelectric Facility, which is able to produce 2.5MW by harnessing the energy in a pressurized water pipeline that is part of the water delivery network.
"Basically it is pure green energy," said Rodgers. "It just takes excess pressure and spins turbines."
This clean energy is estimated to reduce emissions of sulfur and nitrous oxide each year by 200 tons and reduce 60,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year. SDCWA also sells power to San Diego Gas and Electric – enough clean energy for roughly 5,000 homes, which also earns SDCWA $1 million in revenue annually.
The water agency is evaluating three additional sites for in-line hydro and it has plans to install batteries at several facilities that will store power to use when the grid is at peak demand, saving about $100,000 a year.
Other water suppliers throughout the state have also bumped up their use of clean energy in other ways. East Bay Municipal Utility District utilizes its waste stream – capturing the biogas as microorganisms break down food scraps, and waste from sewage, wineries and poultry farms. The energy captured helps to power the wastewater treatment plant and excess energy is sold back to the grid.
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency uses a mixture of renewable energy sources for 50 percent of its renewable energy at peak demand. The agency also uses a battery system to help store the power so it can be used at the most economical times. (John Mellin/IEUA)
The Inland Empire Utilities Agency also generates 2.8MW of electricity from biogas fuel cells, as well as 3.5MW from solar and 1MW from wind – accounting for more than half the peak energy demand of the agency. But the ultimate goal is much higher.
By 2020 the agency is "trying to achieve peak power independence – being independent from the grid during peak periods, so during the middle of the day in the summer we can generate enough renewables that we could ease the demand on the grid," said Jesse Pompa, a senior engineer at the agency.
To help with that, the agency is employing batteries. "What the batteries allow us to do is to optimize the power generated from the renewables," said Pompa. "We have time-of-use pricing from Southern California Edison, so we can charge the batteries when it's most economical and we can discharge and use the power to avoid the higher cost of power at different times of the day."
Speed Bumps Ahead
Some water suppliers are on board with using renewables – seeing the environmental and economic value. But, besides a few standouts, is there more widespread adoption across the sector?
It's impossible to know.
Right now electric utilities are required to disclose the source of their electricity mix – how much is coal, natural gas, solar, hydro, etc. But there is no such requirement for the electricity used by water or wastewater utilities.
That could change, though. California Senate Bill 1425, introduced by Sen. Fran Pavley, would create a registry to collect data on greenhouse gas emissions from energy use by the water sector. The bill has passed the Senate and moved to the Assembly.
"It starts voluntary reporting on the energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions for water suppliers at a utility scale," said Christian-Smith. "If we want to make informed decisions and find areas that meet our climate and water efficiency goals, we need this kind of information."
Without this data, "it is much more difficult for water utilities themselves to identify clean energy opportunities that may help them save money and protect their ratepayers from uncertainty due to climate change or fossil fuel price volatility," wrote Christian-Smith and Laura Wisland in a report last year from the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Right now the only information that's available on the breakdown of energy use in the water sector are the handful of water utilities that are also electricity providers. And among those, Christian-Smith said, the amount of clean energy used varies greatly.
There are other reasons it can be hard for water suppliers to add more clean energy. "It's not really articled as being within the purview of their work," said Christian-Smith. "So it requires getting new info, new skills, entering into power purchase agreements or partnerships with electricity providers – that can be difficult."
There are also physical hurdles. Wastewater treatment plants can produce biogas, but getting interconnections to sell it back to gas companies can be tough.
And, she said, the water sector lacks a clear roadmap of the path to clean energy – while the sector itself is fragmented. California's energy market is dominated by a handful of large investor-owned utility companies. But for water there are thousands of providers in the state and many are publicly owned. "It's a really different institutional structure," she said. "It can be difficult to create a program and have it apply broadly."
Publicly owned utilities often don't carry large profits from year to year and may not have the cash on hand to meet upfront costs, she said.
"The economics are always very difficult," said Pompa. "As a public agency our goal is not just to throw as many renewables at the wall, but to do it in a cost-effective manner." What Inland Empire Utilities Agency and others have found most effective are power purchase agreements with energy companies that don't require any capital outlay. "That's what allowed us to get all the renewables in at a competitive price – solar, wind and fuel cells," he said.
If done right, moving to renewables could be an economic boon for water suppliers, in addition to helping the state meet its climate goals. "Renewables lock in a stable energy cost," said Christian-Smith, which is important because water utilities can't easily or quickly change water rates if there are fluctuations in the fossil fuel energy market.
And it can even help generate income. "Participating in the clean energy transition can open up new revenue sources for the water sector, including the sale of excess renewable electricity or receipt of renewable energy credits, cap-and-trade proceeds, payments for providing grid services and fees for accepting organic wastes for renewable energy generation," said the Union of Concerned Scientists' report. "The water sector is poised to become a greater part of the energy and climate solution."
This version corrects an earlier version of the story in which it was reported that water and wastewater utilities use 20 percent of electricity in the state. In fact, the water sector as a whole uses 19 percent.

There are certain passages in our lives which create personal bonds so deep that the flow of time has no effect on their strength or impact on you. My high school experience was one of those passages. With only 38 kids in my graduating class, we were close. So close in fact, that our teachers insisted we take a moment in the dark school cafeteria after the ceremony, and before we went out to see our families, to say our goodbyes to one another as classmates. Some of us were headed to college in the Fall. Others would stay to work on the family farm or ranch. A few would seek their fortunes in the workplace. Two were already married and pregnant. I remember an instant knowing in my gut that it would be years before I would cross paths with most of them and some I would likely never see again. Understanding that fully felt like a small earthquake shifting the ground beneath my feet leaving everything I'd known before permanently rearranged.
We had a great 10-year reunion but nothing else until last week when I traveled to Montgomery, Texas to attend my 40th. With such a small class, this reunion included 4 – 5 classes at a time in the hopes of having a handful actually show up. Montgomery, a once sleepy little country town was now all grown up and thriving but many of our old haunts were still recognizable. It was so good to see my classmates after all these years and hear where their lives have taken them. As you would expect, we shared stories of old teachers and football games, mishaps and skip days, classic pranks and memorable moments. We remembered a few who had already left us and those who have seemingly disappeared.
Some of the stories we shared were about teachers, pastors, and upper classmen who had inspired us and those who sadly had the opposite effect. One of my classmates told of a teacher who allowed him to take and retake (and retake) a test of the most common misspelled words in the English language. Having already flunked English once because he couldn't write an essay, she told him he was making it way too hard and that by memorizing a simple formula, he could write a good essay… or at least one that would pass. He said the fact that he ultimately became the editor of the local newspaper (which he still runs it today) was largely due to her unwillingness to give up on him, her belief in his ability and the way she championed him at every turn some 40 years ago.
But, another classmate shared a different story. An African American student navigating a school system which had only recently integrated, recalled a white counselor, who was clearly struggling to make the long-overdue shift along with the rest of the world, telling him that he should not bother taking Algebra 2 or calculus because he would not need it unless he went to college which he would never be able to afford. Fortunately for him, there were other teachers and influences in his life who encouraged him differently and today, he holds a master's degree from the University of Houston.
On this 4th of July, one of my most favorite holidays, we celebrate a nation built on the idea of dreaming big. A nation which provides opportunities to every child and every adult to chase their dreams. This day reminds me that what we say, even off-handedly, to others (especially young people) about their abilities, hopes, and dreams can leave a lasting impression and make a difference, positively or negatively, on the outcome.
On this Music Monday (always the first Monday of every month), I chose American Child by Phil Vassar because it's a favorite song on my "Patriotic" playlist but also because I love his lyric: Dreams can grow wild born inside an American child.
This week, as you celebrate our nation's independence with your family and team, remember that one of the most precious attributes of our freedom is that anyone can be or become anything they dream. Our gift to them as great personal leaders is to be their champion, the voice of encouragement and on occasion, to show them the greatness we can see in them but which they may not be able to see in themselves.
That kid in the yard would go very far?


"Gone to be with Kay…. It's All Good!" On November 10, 2018, Allen passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Invermere Hospital.
Allen will be greatly missed by his three children, Joan (Neil) Holder of Hinton, Dave (June) Lymburner of Invermere, and Cathy Lymburner of Edmonton, nieces, nephews, as well as many family members and friends. Allen was predeceased by his loving wife of 66 years, Kay, and daughter Roberta Ann.
Allen was a loyal, generous, and kind father, husband and friend. His witty sense of humour will be missed and remembered. He was blessed with good caring staff and many friends at the Columbia Garden Village, all of whom he loved to tease.
A huge thank you goes out to Dr. Weber, and the many other doctors who helped throughout the past month as well as the incredibly compassionate nursing and care staff at the Invermere Hospital.
As per Allen's request, there will be no funeral service. Tributes to Allen can be made to the Columbia Valley Food Bank.

Q: A good way to put together database tables with a few tricky things in the data I have data that I need to turn into tables. This data consists of data that mostly concerns the kingdom of the Netherlands, with a few additional countries. This has a few snares:
The kingdom of the Netherlands consists of four countries (one if which is the Netherlands), and three special municipalities, that belong to the Netherlands, but are not in the Netherlands itself.
The Netherlands has provinces, those provinces have municipalities, and municipalities have residences.
The three special municipalities do not belong to any province, they directly belong to the Netherlands.
In the data that we get, the three countries inside the kingdom of the Netherlands are just that; the data shows the country under "country" as well as under "residence"
Then there is the problem of Dutch people in other countries. For those countries, we do not care if they have provinces/municipalities/etc. We just look at that from a country perspective.
To give a better idea, the data we get kind of looks like this:

Bonaire should actually be Country: Netherlands, Municipality: Bonaire (and perhaps Residence: Bonaire, not sure if it will help with querying)
My initial thought how to put this in tables is as follows:

*

*Provinces table will have a CountryId

*Municipalities table will have a ProvincesId

*Residences table will have a MunicipalitiesId and a CountryId

The reason the Residences table will also have a CountryId is because of countries like Mexico, of which we don't to want know/show the municipalities, but we do know and want to show the residence.
A problem with this approach though, is that the column for Municipalities in the Residences table will have to contain null values in the case of countries like Mexico.
And yet another problem is that in the case of a country in the kingdom of the Netherlands (except for the Netherlands), the Country as well as the Residence is filled in with the name of the country. I do not know if it is sensible to put the name of the country inside the Residences table.

A: One solution for DB design with these requirements could be:
1) A Dictionary table (id, Name) of geographical object types (may be hierarchical) with records:
{id = 1, Name = Province},
{id = 2, Name = Municipality},
{id = 3, Name = City}
, etc
2) A table (id, GeoTypeId, ParentId, CountryId, Name) with FK to itself (ParentId -> Id) that stores links hierarchy of the objects. Records would be:
{id = 1, GeoTypeId = 1, ParentId = null, CountryId = ..., Name = Zuid-Holland},
{id = 2, GeoTypeId = 2, ParentId = 1, CountryId = ..., Name = Rotterdam}
.
For Mexico the record would be
{id = n, GeoTypeId = 3, ParentId = null, CountryId = ..., Name = Morelia}
This would be flexible for editing hierarchy, but you'll need some additional effort to select records (that's the price of normalization). You will also be able easily add additional GeoType records when needed for new countries without changing schema.

The Truth About Black Teen Suicide
My teacher responded to a poem a student had written about his suicide attempt. The room fell silent. Everyone else in the room was Black but her. "I mean, I didn't think they had serious problems," she added.
Sitting there in the classroom, I thought that had to be the most ignorant comment I had ever heard in my life. Now that slavery was abolished, the Civil Rights movement over and some African-Americans upwardly mobile, everything was alright? Blacks did not have any more problems? Wrong!
I found my teacher's statement absolutely offensive. But later, realized I had never thought about suicide among African-American teenagers either. Even though I had considered suicide myself, I didn't think that other Black kids did.
I Thought Suicide Was a White Thing
Like my teacher, I guess I thought suicide was more of a problem with White teens. Teen suicides talked about in the media were always White. If Blacks of any age were committing suicide, I had never heard about it in the news or on TV. Suicide never came up in a conversation with my friends, and my parents never talked about it.
My teacher's ignorance as well as my own led me to do further research on Blacks and suicide. I now know suicide is a real problem in the Black community and that I'm not the only Black teen who has ever thought about it.
My teacher and I weren't totally wrong to see suicide as a problem for White teens more than for Black teens. Until recently, White teens committed suicide at a much higher rate than Black teens, according to reports. But over the last 20 years, the rate of Black teen suicide has increased dramatically.
Paying More Attention to Suicide in the Black Teen Community
According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 1980, the suicide rate for Whites aged 10-19 was 157% greater than that of Blacks. However, by 1995 there was only a 42% difference. Although Whites are still more likely to commit suicide than blacks, the suicide rate for all African-Americans doubled between 1980 and 1996.
These statistics startled me. I wondered why there was such a dramatic increase in Black suicides. Dr. Juliet Glinski, of the Montefiore Medical Center, suggests that medical officials may be identifying suicide as a cause of death more frequently because education about suicide is more a part of their training than it used to be.
"Is there an increase among Black teenagers or in fact are we paying more attention to the problem?" said Alan Ross, executive director of the Samaritans of New York, a suicide prevention organization. "When you pay more attention to a problem, you become more aware of the number of people suffering from it," he says.
Possible Causes of the Increased Rate of Black Teen Suicide
Black Teens Get Depressed, Too
It's also possible that there are simply more Black teens committing suicide than in the past. But what could be making more Black people end their lives? For some, the same reasons as White people, such as depression, social isolation and hopelessness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the most common reasons given for attempted suicides by teen suicide survivors were a conflict with a boyfriend or girlfriend, an argument with parents and school problems. And gay teens of all backgrounds have a much higher rate of suicide because they often feel conflicted about or ashamed of their sexuality.
"Certainly the warning signs of suicide and the risk factors that touch all teenagers would be there for Black teenagers," said Ross.
When it comes to the motivations to commit suicide, Ross said, "there is no difference between us." Just like White teens, Black teens have had exposure to conflicts and sexual identity issues.
Depression and Isolation a Cause of Black Teen Suicide
Is there anything that might account for the dramatic increase in suicides among African-Americans? Donna H. Barnes, one of the founders of the National Organization for People of Color Against Suicide, notes that depression, which often goes undiagnosed, is on the increase among African-Americans.
This might be because, says Barnes, "Blacks are being taken away from the traditional Black community and moving into White communities. Blacks feel isolated."
Barnes mentions that since the Civil Rights movement produced advances in law and equality, there are more opportunities available to Blacks than there used to be. Because of this, though, when they fail they may begin to blame themselves instead of the system. This can lead to depression and suicide.
(Continued from page 1.)
Poverty and Low Self-Esteem
Poor African-Americans can also be affected by hopelessness and social isolation. Some community leaders have pointed to a lack of decent jobs and positive role models for young Black men in poor communities. They note that poverty and low self-esteem, together with easy access to drugs and guns, can lead to suicide as well.
Kenya Napper Bello, a counselor in Atlanta, told The Washington Post that the young Black men she counsels said they feel isolated from social institutions-such as family, church and school-that could help them.
Guys with Guns Die Most
Males do have a higher rate of suicide than females. Among people of all backgrounds, four males kill themselves for every female who kills herself. Of the 2,103 Blacks of all ages who committed suicide in 1997, Black males accounted for 1,764 of the completed suicides while only 339 were Black females. But more females, of all backgrounds, try to kill themselves; there are three female suicide attempts for every male attempt.
Males are more likely to actually kill themselves because they have greater access to firearms. Gun-related suicides accounted for 72% of suicides among Black males in 1997.
Because women and girls tend to use less effective ways to commit suicide such as slitting wrists and consuming pills, they are more likely to be found alive and taken to the hospital for treatment.
He Didn't Look Like the Suicide Type
I had thought about suicide before. I realized that the day my teacher made her ignorant comment. The student who had read his poem to the class (I'll call him Jai) did not look like the type that would want to end his life. He was popular and attractive. Out of all people, he would not have been the person I expected to weave this tale of horror.
Why did he want to die? "I wasn't happy with myself," he said. He survived his suicide attempt, though, and was sent to a mental institution for teenagers. The institution was crowded, depressing and suffocating.
"It was filled with hopelessness and despair," said Jai. The institution was filled with Black teenagers like himself, which surprised him.
I Didn't Feel Alone
After Jai read his poem, other students in the room also admitted to at least thinking about suicide. Suddenly, I didn't feel alone. We discussed why we had thought about suicide. Family problems and pressures from school were the most common reasons.
After our discussion, an eerie silence passed through the entire room, then we changed the subject. We never talked about it again. It was an eye opener for me. I did not know how widespread the problem was until that day.
"Everyone feels suicidal at one point in their life," said Ross. "We have to be responsive and supportive, not accusatory but understanding, and not blame the people for having a hard time. The more accepting we are, the more we help people before they feel more suicidal."

Best of the Emmys 2017 Style: Awards, Couples and More
Another year, another Emmys and there was not a whole lot to be mad about when it comes to the winners. The same cannot be said for one particular part of the opening.
But, I am here to talk red carpet and for the first post I'm going in reverse with some outfits getting an extra special boost by some hardware, a few moments from the show, feathers, some of our fave couples and some classic black ensembles.
For the best in sparkles and more bold color, head here. No award or speech made me happier than Lena Waithe winning for writing with Aziz Ansari for the Master of None Thanksgiving episode. She is the first black woman to win for writing in a comedy category and in the speech she thanked her LGBTQIA family:
"I see each and every one of you. The things that make us different – those are our superpowers. Every day when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world, because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren't in it. And for everybody out there that showed us so much love for this episode, thank you for embracing a little Indian boy from South Carolina and a queer black girl from the South Side of Chicago."
Waithe always gives great ladysuit and this custom Alba is incredible. In other Emmy firsts; Donald Glover is the first black person to win in the comedy directing category. And Ira Madison III has written about why we should we way beyond these diversity milestones in 2017. He also deservedly won in the acting category for Atlanta and was also the best dressed guy of the night in purple Gucci.
Oh and he also gave the best "we're pregnant" announcement while accepting his second award of the night.
We here

This is also a very special and also super swoony photo. Sterling K. Brown won for Best Actor in a drama and he was giving a great speech until he got cut off. Luckily he got to continue backstage and finish what he started. Looking super suave while doing so. The Handmaid's Tale was one of the big winners of the night scoring actress, supporting and guest star (which Alexis Bledel won last week). They all look lovely and Elisabeth Moss' Prabal Gurung has the all important pocket factor.
Ann Dowd gave one of the loveliest speeches and I am also feeling a lot of things thanks to this Justin Theroux's Instagram post. Yes I am pretending she also won this for The Leftovers. Three Queens getting their rightful standing O. Sparkly tuxedo delights for Rachel Bloom as she performed and she really needs to host this thing. On the red carpet Rachel Bloom wore Gucci and mentioned that she bought it herself. Again, it is very dumb that a lot of designers don't cater for actresses who are not a sample size. Bloom looks great and she mentioned that she can afford it. And yet it is still a frustrating part of this whole awards circus. There were a lot of feathers this year and while some were sadly a big miss, everything about Zoë Kravitz in Dior is divine. From every single angle of this dress is different and amazing.
And such a great night for Big Little Lies. Keri Russell gives great witchy vibes in ostrich feathered J. Mendel—I do prefer her red J. Mendel look from the previous night—and alas, it was another awardless Emmys for The Americans.
But at least Russell and Matthew Rhys have each other so they have already won, really. Next year. Otherwise that gif from the pilot is getting used again. Tiers of black and white tulle for Mandy Moore in Carolina Herrera and this is where a bold pink lipstick really works wonders. Judith Light, always. They were an Emmy couple fave last year and while Orphan Black missed the nomination window, last year's winner Tatiana Maslany was on hand to present this year and I love everything about her very classic Reem Acra gown. The blue GLAAD ampersand pin is available here.

Maslany and Tom Cullen also gave great pre-Emmys and a nod to last year.

2017 Emmy Nomination Acting Wish List
It is almost here! Emmy nomination day is tomorrow (Thursday, July 13) and as has become tradition here is a rundown of who I would love to see getting recognized by the Television Academy.
Every year this wish list keeps on growing and of course there are some repeat names featured. Some previous staples are not featured due to missing the window of eligibility including last year's Best Actress in a Drama winner, Tatiana Maslany. Maslany is crushing this final season of Orphan Black and while it is unlikely, hopefully memories will last that long so she is included next year.
As with the 2016 wish list, I have split this into drama, mini-series and comedy and includes a mix of locks, first timers and outside bets. In this time of Peak TV there is no time to watch everything so if your fave is not included this might be why.
Drama Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys
Kicking off as I have done each of my previous wish lists with Americans leads Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. The big surprise of last year was not having to use the gif for when they didn't nominated, as voters came on through by finally recognizing the incredible performances Russell and Rhys give on a weekly basis.
Season 5 of The Americans was more introspective as the action turned inward dealing with the toll of spy life and the things Rhys and Russell do with their faces when there is no/minimal dialogue constantly has me in awe. It wasn't all doom and gloom for this pair of spies and a surprise wedding delivered a much needed romantic respite. Plus it is good to see a wedding with crowns that doesn't end in murder. Carrie Coon and Justin Theroux (and the rest of The Leftovers cast)
As with Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, the things Carrie Coon and Justin Theroux do with their face parts is astounding on every level. This final season of The Leftovers delivered the love story aspect I was hoping for and incredible performances we have come to expect from this exceptional cast. It is why this is the third year I have been hoping to see this show get recognized.
Carrie Coon gif at the ready for if/when it doesn't. Elisabeth Moss and Samira Wiley
Keeping with this theme of the best in face parts acting comes Elisabeth Moss and Samira Wiley in The Handmaid's Tale. Both women crush it in their abilities to wear a mask and then revealing the real devastating emotion of the character. They are pretty much the reason why I sobbed my way through the finale.
Bonus shout out to Samira Wiley because season 4 of OITNB is the one that voters can nominate and she should def get one for once again turning me into a chin quiver wreck. Also her smile lights up the screen like no other. Sterling K. Brown and Ron Cephas Jones
A lot of TV makes me cry as you can tell from the previous entry, but I'm pretty sure that This is Us wins the prize for episode that made me ugly cry the most. Taking a break from the Pearson family drama to go on a road trip with Randall and his dying father William; "Memphis" showcases the talents of both Sterling K. Brown and Ron Cephas Jones. Christine Baranski
After the disappointing end of The Good Wife I wasn't sure if I wanted more from this world. And then I remembered how much I love Diane Lockhart and how much fun this show could be without the Alicia baggage (looking at you Peter). And it is fun! Christine Baranski steps into the lead position and of course she is as amazing as Diane's collection of fancy blazers and statement necklaces. Claire Foy and Jared Harris
The Crown gives great Royal family dramz and even though Liz has to maintain a sense of decorum, it is very fun seeing throw stuff at husband when he is being terrible (my alt name for this show is Shut Up, Philip). Foy is great at both aspects and I'm throwing in Jared Harris into the nomination wish list hat for his impact in such a small amount of screen time. And yes he made me sob, which is maybe a prerequisite for a lot of this wish list.
Mini-Series Big Little Lies Cast – Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz and Reese Witherspoon
Months after and I am still thinking about Big Little Lies and I would love to see these women dominate the mini-series acting categories.
The scene at the top of the stairs in the finale is another great example of communicating with no words and the bonus Audrey Hepburn getup factor adds something to this scene. Also got to give them props for all the delicious gifs they have given us. Reactions for all scenarios.
BTW – I swear I am not basing this list on how much I use a gif from something, but if I did BLL would win every category. Even ones they can't be nominated in. Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange
Jessica Lange gets the showier part of the two in Feud and considering a lot of time is dedicated to whether Bette or Joan has the best material; it feels kinda meta talking about these performances in this way. Best dramatic use of a cigarette and sunglasses definitely goes to Susan Sarandon though. Carrie Coon and Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Season 3 of Fargo didn't really come together until the last few episodes, but Carrie Coon had a great standout moment early in the season when she traveled to California as part of the investigation. She really does give fabulous hotel/motel staying.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead got to show off her survival skills once again (see both BrainDead and 10 Cloverfield Lane for more) and if it wasn't for these two women I would've probably quit this season early on.
Comedy Phoebe Waller-Bridge
One thread running through most of this comedy acting wish list is that the star(s) of the show is also the creator. This adds a personal element to the material, which I guess I am drawn to.
First up Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fleabag, which delivered on smut, laughs, great lipstick and yep, you guessed it, tears. I am nothing if not consistent. Donald Glover and Zazie Beetz
Atlanta is like nothing else on TV right now and one example of this is the relationship between Earn and Van. Exes who go out for dinner – in an episode which showed just how difficult dinner out can be on a budget – sleep over and are raising a daughter together. The spotlight shines on Zazie Beetz in one of the episodes of this very good season; focusing on Van, her career and a drug test mishap. Issa Rae
Like I said, it is a really great year for the multi-hyphenates and Issa Rae's Insecure is another strong example of this trend. Also giving another different perspective on relationships and the fuck ups we make along the way and Rae shines in the friendship aspects (even when they're in a fight), career struggles and why a couch is sometimes much more than somewhere to sit and watch TV. Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe
It might be because I have friends who are in Italy right now so Instagram is awash with great food and architecture pics or that season 2 of Master of None started here, but all I want to do is go to Italy and eat pasta right now.
Season 2 had Aziz Ansari mixing things up including a stellar episode about modern dating and the Thanksgiving spectacular that dealt with Denise's coming out story based on Lena Waithe's experiences.
One other standout moment was a scene in "The Dinner Party" that played to the entirety of Marc Almond's "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" with Dev sitting in the back of the car. It was mesmerizing in ways I didn't expect. Rachel Bloom
Songs of a different kind and I can't tell you how often I get "Period Sex" stuck in my head.
Rachel Bloom once again gifts us with so many great tracks including "The Math of Love Triangles," "So Maternal," "We Tapped That Ass," "Remember That We Suffered," "It Was a Shit Show" and "Friendtopia." And this season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend shattered the love triangle (miss you, Greg), explored love, friendships and took a deeper dive into Rebecca's past. Lena Dunham and Matthew Rhys
This season of Girls was definitely the strongest for Lena Dunham from an acting perspective with the scene between Hannah and Adam in the diner as the standout moment. Again everything that had to be said was done with a look and it was subtly moving.
The two-hander with Matthew Rhys was another highlight and the wolfish grin Rhys gives towards the episode after the incident is wonderfully terrifying. It would be great to see Rhys and Carrie Coon getting double nominations. Gina Rodriguez
Yeah I'm gonna talk about crying again and Jane the Virgin has always caused some waterworks on my end. Season 3 took it to new levels and Gina Rodriguez's reactions to THAT phone call was especially devastating. But the show didn't wallow in misery and it was good to see Rodriguez getting to play many different things with Jane this season. DeRon Horton
While "Chapter V" (directed by Barry Jenkins) is the Dear White People episode standout, it is DeRon Horton as Lionel who gives the performance of the season. Lionel is super shy and trying to fit in; both things we have seen many times, but he is also coming to terms with his sexuality (including being attracted to his roommate) and he doesn't feel like a character we have seen on TV before. This is important and Horton's gives a nuanced take of a young black gay man. Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney
The messiness of Sharon and Rob's relationship hits new heights in season 3 as they keep secrets from the other, giving both Horgan and Delaney new levels to play with. Yes this is another series that had me sobbing and laughing. Kleenex should probs sponsor this blog.

Categories Awards, Emmys
Not so much Emmy chat in the sartorial sphere, but awards they keep on coming. The week kicked off with Tony style and as you will see below the Women In Film 2017 Crystal + Lucy Awards also delivered. Plus it is that time of month when magazine covers are unveiled and the July issues are really coming through on that front.
And I also talk about my new Twin Peaks style icon here.
This is such a great summertime cover of Time Out with Jessica Williams as its star and it is impossible not to stare at her eyes. And not just because of the colorful eyeliner. The interview covers a range of topics including her new movie The Incredible Jessica James, her podcast 2 Dope Queens and an all too common scenario with the kind of parts that are available.
"I feel like, oftentimes, a black actress is the guest star in somebody else's movie. As a minority, you're like a guest role or something like that." But with The Incredible Jessica James she "got to be the star of my own story."
There's also a fun Buffy the Vampire Slayer interlude and interviewer Inkoo Kang does not agree with Williams' assertion that Buffy is the best character. For me it is a toss up between Faith and Giles. For The Edit, Zoë Kravitz looks dreamy in white including this Anna Sui gown that could double as a '70s inspired wedding look.
Big Little Lies has been a huge success and Kravitz also has comedy Rough Night coming out (today in the US, August 25 in the UK) and the next Fantastic Beasts movie. Casting is something that comes up in this piece and even though Kravitz is carving out an interesting and varied career, she discusses just how narrow the thinking can be here:
"When my name is brought up in a casting office, I'm sure the fact that I'm black comes up in discussions. I just read a script in which there were two couples, and one was written as black. When I talked to the directors, they said I should play the wife of the black guy. It's insane that they still think the black girl needs to be married to the black guy, and everyone else is white. Their thinking is so compartmentalized."
She also discusses growing up with famous (and cool) parents, as well as her thoughts on fashion and how it "is another medium to express yourself: this is how I feel today, this is the external representation of what's going on inside." More dreaminess and Chrissy Teigen's Marie Claire cover has me wondering where the nearest field is because this looks super appealing. Great choice of dress and this Gucci frock has so much going on – paisley! embroidered insects! – but looks fabulous.
The excerpts from the interview promise the usually candid Teigen and I will be purchasing this issue when it hits newsstands next week (June 20).
Also on a personal note, I used Chrissy Teigen's Cravings cookbook to make a dinner extravaganza to celebrate 13 years (!) with my guy. I am not at all confident in the kitchen, but I find her style and recipes less terrifying to navigate and it was a tequila soaked success. Thanks, Chrissy!
It is Spider-Man: Homecoming promo time and this means we are going to get a whole lot of Zendaya, much to my delight. Including this stunning Vogue cover and Zendaya commanding all attention in feathered Calvin Klein.
The profile gets to the heart of what makes Zendaya one to watch; from her upbringing to how she reacted to Giuliana Rancic's ignorant comments about her hair at the Oscars back in 2014 and the demands she made to Disney regarding the show that was originally going to be called Super Awesome Katy (such a bad name). It also touches on just how busy she is and that she's got at least one more season of K.C. Undercover, including plans to discuss topics such as stop-and-frisk.
And she imparts an important piece of wisdom for fans both young and old:
"A lot of people don't realize their power. I have so many friends who say yes to everything or feel like they can't stand up for themselves in a situation. No: You have the power." Kate McKinnon covers the July issue of Elle and I love everything about this shot from inside the magazine; blending masculine and feminine style. McKinnon is interviewed by Tina Fey and the extract points to the political aspects of her work on SNL including a discussion on doing an impression of real person. This issue hits newsstands Tuesday, 20 June.
Speaking of which and just because SNL isn't on right now, this doesn't mean we don't get a little bit of a Kate McKinnon reaction to this week's news. It is very funny interview. At an event celebrating Kate McKinnon's cover and the Women in Comedy issue, Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Amber Ruffin finally gives me a reason to like shoulder holes. This is an excellent patterned jumpsuit and the flats she has paired it with are also a fabulous choice. At the Women In Film 2017 Crystal + Lucy Awards, Tracee Ellis Ross received the The Lucy Award for Excellence in Television and she is posing to perfection with it. The event is sponsored by Max Mara and this cute af ensemble is also by this brand. It manages to be sweet without feeling saccharine and the pink headwrap tops of this great look at an event where all eyes are on women.
In her speech she spoke about her Black-ish role and how it goes against the way black women are typically viewed in pop culture:
"There is work to be done on the representation of black women on television and how women of color are represented in media overall. As black women specifically, we are often objectified, oversexualized and 'sassified.' I really like that word, I made it up. To see Bow, my character on Black-ish, as something other than that on a hit mainstream TV show is really important." Also at this event, Lupita Nyong'o presented her Queen of Katwe director Mira Nair with the Dorothy Arzner Directors Award and Nair also spoke at length about her struggles in this industry:
"I find myself, still after all these years of working, knocking at the door to be let in. We cannot afford to mistake the passage of time as progress. The steady march of years is not the same as change. In the face of this, it is so necessary, it is vital to find a community. Find those who build bridges with you and take you further because when all is said and done, there is absolutely no substitute for the act of simply doing the work, of finding the inspiration, of making something happen, and of actually creating."
Both women look super chic and are crushing their lipstick choices. Nyong'o is a Lancôme brand ambassador and on her Instagram she helpfully points out the shade of lip crayon she is wearing. Plenty of floral interpretations at the Beguiled premiere and so far these ladies have been coordinating without ever looking too matchy matchy.
In a recent Sofia Coppola interview with Vulture the fact that so many big name directors are doing TV came up and I would love to see this happen:
"Yes! I would like to do a glamorous mini-series, although I know it's just called a limited series now. But I feel like TV has gotten a little too gritty and edgy. I would like to bring glamour back to TV." Pretty sure this group of ladies The Hollywood Reporter enlisted for the comedy actress roundtable could be part of Sofia Coppola's TV glamour vision and I'm getting a strong sense of '70s crime solving while also getting some cocktails.
As with the drama actresses, the comedy roundtable also has a high rate of delivering when it comes to an enlightening and often maddening chat. The latter includes horror audition stories and pay disparity based on gender. The whole thing can be read here and again I'm looking forward to watching the full version of this discussion.

Best of the Met Gala 2017: The Americans, Big Little Lies and More
More Met Gala and for the attendees who went big in honoring Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons head here. That's not to say the second part of this rundown doesn't feature strong nods to the theme, which definitely has room for interpretation, but there are definitely fewer 'out there' looks.
We do have treats from the casts of Big Little Lies, The Americans and some super handsome dudes in suits among others. Getting the best dressed couple title is Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys as they mix things up in custom Rag & Bone. The coat tails twist on the lady suit is giving off strong ringmaster vibes and I am super partial to a kilt; this is how to a couples theme without looking too matchy matchy.
Great smoky eyes on Keri Russell too, which adds to the whole effect.
My boys at the Met tonight!! A little selfie love for their proud lil' stylist stuck back in LA (i.e. Yours truly). Rami and Riz in @DiorHomme, Donald in @burberry #MetBall2017
A post shared by Ilaria Urbinati (@ilariaurbinati) on May 1, 2017 at 5:09pm PDT
Not one, but three of TV Ate My Wardrobe's three best dressed dudes all together and super stylist Ilaria Urbinati is good to us. Rami's red is Dior (obvs), Riz is in also in Dior and Donald (my fave suit of the three) nods to Comme des Garçon in Burberry.
Now someone needs to cast this trifecta of swoon inducing dudes in a movie together. Please and thank you. Michael B. Jordan is another guy you can rely on to avoid the black tux doldrums and this Ralph Lauren plaid number looks fit for Hannibal, which is another way of me saying I love it. Entering the Big Little Lies portion of this post and Reese Witherspoon is serving up Joan Collins levels of dramatic shoulder in asymmetric Mulger playing with form. Zoë Kravitz knows how to make a mark in a romantic custom Oscar de la Renta gown complete with real roses. This manages to be super modern with a classic twist and Kravitz's new blonde pixie cut gives this an edge. When you worship at the alter of Laura Dern it is fine to ignore that this is one of the many looks that isn't really going all in on the theme, but between the cutouts and the polka dot train I am obviously here for this custom Gabriela Hearst. Another floral take and Lupita is radiant in coral Prada. Also appearing on Jessica Chastain's A+ Met Gala Instagram Stories and with Rihanna in the background a good reminder of the film event we could be enjoying in the future.
And because I love a getting ready BTS. An optical illusion from Elizabeth Banks in custom Michael Kors and I am just as mesmerized by the height of her heels. I would also be pulling this face if I was walking up this many stairs in these shoes. A red carpet best from Lena Dunham in gingham Elizabeth Kennedy with a fabulous silhouette, makeup and hair to boot. She also has a pair of boots beneath the layers of fabric.
As was mentioned on Twitter another theme of this Met Gala was people who have previously lamented about how much they hate this event and yet they're back for more. Ultimate FOMO I guess. This Chanel is beautiful, but definitely more of an award season frock rather than a Met Gala one. But Brie looks great and she also got caught up in this bathroom moment.
I needed to go the bathroom and ended up famous.
A post shared by Brie (@brielarson) on May 1, 2017 at 8:40pm PDT
Her face says it all.
Dakota Johnson looks like she's on a widow revenge mission in custom Gucci and I'm here for it. One final moment of dramatic staircase posing and Daisy Ridley's custom Oscar de la Renta isn't quite the out there number I was hoping from her, but she's working it.

Categories Met Gala 2017
A slightly quieter week between the big events and with everyone heading down to Sundance expect a lot more knitwear and coats from the next column; considering how cold it is right now I am so ready.
On the menu today there's the Elle 'Women in Television' celebration, even more TCA and various other public appearances that deliver sartorially. A casually slung coat and one this fabulous is a style weakness of mine and throwing it over the top of pants – which do need hemming – is even better. Shailene Woodley is giving off super cool vibes and at least she doesn't have to wear that Fendi sweater for Elle on this occasion.
All the red lipstick points get dished out here too. Constance Zimmer in a St John Knits blouse that is giving me all the Joan Watson feelings and she's giving a classic outfit choice a colorful and shiny oomph with her bold pink lip and silver Aldo pumps. A lesson in how to do matchy matchy without looking over coordinated at the Big Little Lies TCA session last weekend. Zoë Kravitz was our favorite of the Elle covers this month; she's also crushing it here in red Alexander Wang. I think you might know what I'm going to say about Mandy Moore in REDValentino at the NBC TCA day and yep I would prefer this dress if the top half wasn't sheer. BUT I do love the super colorful pleated skirt, red pumps and light pink lipstick. Plus I am pretty much obsessed with everything Moore wears on This is Us. Staying with This is Us and it has been renewed for not one but two seasons. This is a show I like a lot and it is nice to have something this sentimental on TV right now. Plus it gives us two more seasons of Sterling K. Brown.
Also, keeping with the bold color theme and as someone who has way too many stripes in their closet (and I bought another one last weekend) I am very much here for Susan Kelechi Watson's sweater. And in this week's #LadySuitWatch2017 Melissa McCarthy also takes the TCA bold color challenge and puts her very own memorable spin on it all.
Before the holidays I stumbled upon the Literary Gift Company and for all your book themed apparel/stationary it really is a treasure trove. Long story short, but Naomie Harris in this Disaya calligraphy print dress feels a little like the luxury fashion version of this, so of course I love it.

Aidy Bryant looks fantastic in a very pretty floral Tanya Taylor frock while appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
It also turns out that I have the same glazed look drunk face as Bryant. As can be seen here.
Okay so small disclaimer; this is not a look from this week. In fact this outfit is worn by Issa Rae in the Insecure pilot back in October and this is both a chance to make up for not including it back then (I have a good excuse in that I had only just got back from honeymoon) and shamelessly plug some work in other places.
This incredible ensemble is one I discuss in this week's TV and Style column over at The Observer as part of an overall conversation on leopard print – which we featured a lot of recently – and this Stella McCartney wildcat collection has appeared on at least four shows now. Ending this week with Donald Glover giving full flames emoji in Gucci for this Wired profile. In the piece he talks about 30 Rock and why he wanted to write for TV
"I decided I wanted to write for television because of Tina. She was always so happy, and I was like, I want to be happy like that too."
And FX president John Landgraf shows why so many incredibly creative voices talk so highly of their boss. There's a level of trust here and this has definitely paid off with Atlanta.
"With Donald, he didn't always articulate his vision in a way that we could see it, but his passions and ambition were clear. So we felt confident in the story he wanted to tell and how he wanted to tell it."
Read the excellent profile here and for more A+ style check out his Golden Globes look.

A super busy week starting with the pre-Golden Globe parties followed by the actual Golden Globes and then all the incredible looks from the winter TCA press tour. Well not quite all the looks as I knew the FX panels that took place after I hit publish would probably include some sartorial highs. And I was right, which is why this week's "Out of the Box" includes more from TCA. Also this from The Americans panel sounds adorable.
Plus we have post-Golden Globes parties, magazine covers/editorials and some coats to covet. Leopard print is having a big moment this week and there is nothing I don't love about Ruth Negga's look as she heads into Jimmy Kimmel Live! This shows just how elegant animal prints can be and Negga wouldn't look out of place in Carol wearing this ensemble.
Super stylist Karla Welch is crushing it with her selections for Ruth Negga and I love how unpredictable these choices are. This week the walk into Jimmy Kimmel Live! is giving us great coat action and Naomie Harris is going with a classic choice that would look fabulous billowing in the wind on a show like Sherlock or Taboo. Harris brightens things up with a very cute floral dress. FX is pretty much just gathering all my favorite people and putting them in shows with season 3 of Fargo being a very good example of this. Here is Carrie Coon giving great short hair and wearing a fantastic Novis dress that looks as comfy as it does stylish.
Entering behind her is Ewan McGregor (he's playing twins on Fargo) and this looks like they're coming out on stage to perform in their very sultry band. I would go to this gig and sway dreamily. Also starring in the new season of Fargo is Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Winstead's character on BrainDead was an instant TV style queen. Alas that show is no more, but I am glad someone else snapped her up quick. This gold and gunmetal black By Johnny ensemble looks fit for dancing as well as panel talking. Also very thankful for these entrance shots and not just the sitting down variety. Continuing the TCA trend of all the pattern pretty and at the Man Seeking Woman session Katie Findaly goes bright and bold with her A+ shoe and dress choice. I just checked to see how old Kiernan Shipka is because there is so much poise here and yep she just turned 17. And she still remains so much cooler than me. I am so excited to see her on Feud (and the entire cast for this show is exceptional) and she will be playing Bette Davis's daughter. Here she goes classic in black pants and a white blouse with a formal bollo tie/brooch twist. Leighton Meester's second appearance on here this week and at the InStyle Golden Globes after party she goes classic in a white wrap adjacent Galvan dress and to die for Sophie Webster blue pumps. The detail on the heel is bananas (not actually bananas). Changing from an amazing Christian Siriano white frock into formal jumpsuit perfection is Issa Rae and this outfit swap makes so much sense. Rae's award show look is one of our faves, but this custom Juan Carlos Obando jumpsuit looks much better for dancing/drinking/having fun in. And there's only 50% white to accidentally spill stuff on and not the whole dress. Also making the switch from dress to jumpsuit is Janelle Monáe keeping with the black and white theme in Georges Chakra. Plus sequins. Keeping on the sequin theme and Diane Kruger goes all out in purple Nina Ricci and I love it. Everything about Yara Shahidi's post-Globes Schiaparelli look is so much fun and such a great mix of textures/color with pink fringed iridescent tulle and gold leather sleeves. And another to add to this week's amazing coats list. We've seen a lot from the super stylish Stranger Things kids, but now for the Stranger Things teens (who are actually in their twenties) giving great surly face. Mini Jean-Ralphio is actually more confused face and his hair has reached new heights. Don't worry it is not all moodiness here and all is well. Elle's Women in TV issue is one of my favorites of the year and they went with Big Little Lies as their cover stars. I am very excited about this mini-series (and it features in my big preview), but it also pretty much means that it is movie stars on the cover. This Zoë Kravitz shot is a stunner and she gives such a good disarming stare.
Inside the issue Vanessa Kirby gives great polka dot ladysuit and confuses me by being blonde (because I'm so used to her Princess Margaret face). Interview Magazine has gifted us with so many great photo shoots and they kick off 2017 with an incredible cover story; Beyoncé interviewing her sister Solange. They cover everything from Solange's most recent album, influences and their backgrounds. It is such a wonderful and insightful interview because they are sisters with stories like this one from Beyoncé "One of my proudest moments as a sister was when I was able to introduce you to your hero, Nas, and you cried and acted a fool. I was so surprised that Mrs. Too-cool-for-everything was acting a fool."
The accompanying shoot is fabulous and this can be tagged in great ladysuits – this one is by David Hart – paired with a brown Miu Miu turtleneck.

A mostly New York Fashion week edition of "Out of the Box" with plenty of famous faces flocking to runway shows to find out what they will be wearing come the next red carpet cycle/in their regular lives – they can probably afford the price tags.
This was going to be an all NYFW offering, but as I didn't cover the BAFTAs (for other work/travel reasons) I wanted to include a couple of dresses from this event which wowed me. It's New York in February and temperatures are on the chilly side so a coat casually slung over the shoulders is always a good choice and both Diane Kruger and Jennifer Hudson have opted for this at Jason Wu. If this was me I would definitely struggle with keeping it straight on my shoulders (you should see my oh so wonky gown graduation pictures). This is a fun blend of looks with Jennifer Hudson wearing the very on trend leather, Diane looking cool in cornflower blue and Jamie King rounding out the picture in a dress ideal for a weekend away in the country at Downton Abbey type venue. A beautiful and simple shot of Claire Danes watching the Narciso Rodriguez runway show on Tuesday. The Marc Jacobs presentation was packed last night and whenever I see a front row like this I just assume that this is the first time most of them are meeting each other. Not the case with our favorite teen BFFs Amandla Stenberg and Kiernan Shipka. Andra Day's movie themed ensemble is super fun and that's a whole lot of excellent bold lip colors from Day, Ashley Benson and Odeya Rush. A clearer look at Amandla Stenberg's fabulous Marc Jacobs 'Scream Queens' skirt – Olivia Wilde wore the dress version recently – and pairing it with sneakers adds to the laid back vibe. While Stenberg's gone for sneakers (a woman after my own flats loving heart) there are a lot of stacked platforms on display and I'm maybe coveting Christina Ricci's 'Edie Mary Jane' patent delights. There's also something a little Wednesday Addams about her whole outfit and I'm so here for Natasha Lyonne's bold red (pleather?) skirt. Juliette Lewis looking like the coolest golfer that ever lived at Marc Jacobs. The pants maybe need a little hemming, but as someone who couldn't see their shoes for the first half of the aughts I am also fine with this. See the above comment about the pants and ribbons/ascots/scarves are really making a big swing for Fall 2016 with Zosia Mamet also working prints at Marc Jacobs. More Zosia at the Kate Spade New York presentation – we picked out some outfits for Shoshanna in our Kate Spade Fantasy Costuming piece – and more excellent patterned attire. Posing with Ellie Kemper and Freida Pinto the trio stuck to the monochrome department rather than going for the bright Kate Spade color palette. Adding a splash of color in a super pretty floral ensemble is Zoe Kazan proving that black tights can be worn with something this summer looking. It is still February after all. More Zoe Kazan and the Jill Stuart frock she gave a sneak peek look at on Instagram and I feel like I have very similar clothing taste to Kazan; this is right in my dress wheelhouse. And tights. I love tights. Naomie Harris was a knockout during the Spectre press tour last year and once again she is killing it at the Michael Kors Collection show in Michael Kors. Pink pumps add a touch of flair to this floral delight. While I still haven't come up with a suitable term to describe something more than #SquadGoals here is the non-selfie version of Taraji P. Henson and Zoe Kravitz on the front row at Alexander Wang still looking super cool. Henson looked stunning in Alexander Wang at the recent Golden Globes and this is brand which suits her style well while avoiding any Cookie comparisons. Also at Alexander Wang – Julia Garner somehow looking cute and edgy all at once in leather. No word if she will be back for season 4 of The Americans but no doubt if she is then expect plenty of heartbreak. More leather and Alicia Vikander's BAFTA Louis Vuitton frock is a weighty 35 lbs. The last three big events has seen Vikander wearing a variety of looks from the brand she models for and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for her a week on Sunday. It's weird to think award season is almost at an end. Cate Blanchett also cranks it up a gear for the BAFTAs in a stunning Alexander McQueen dress of two halves and each one is just as spectacular as the other.

There needs to be a word for something that is even more than just #SquadGoals when hangouts like this one take place.
NYFW is all over Instagram including many runway shots and this one from The Cut's Stella Bugbee captures the fluidity and pretty from the Altuzarra show.

One step ahead of criminals
Heuristic is a problem-solving approach based on a practical method that can be sufficient to achieve an immediate goal.
An anti-virus heuristic analyser is perceived by many to be a magic bullet. Typically, an explanation as to why anti-viruses fail to detect malware (or more precisely, why they can't detect all of it) is countered with the question: "And what about heuristics?" Let's try to answer it.
In order to detect malware, an anti-virus uses the signatures (also called definitions) in its virus databases. Heuristic technology also uses some of the entries in the databases. However, these entries contain information about entire groups of malicious programs. For example, if malware is generated using a special malware construction kit, all the applications spawned by the kit are likely to be detected with the aid of just one entry.
From this we can draw an important conclusion.
Heuristic technology can't detect malware programs about which it has no information.
This is not some sort of artificial intelligence but rather a sophisticated filtering rule with certain parameters. All the programs that do not match the filtering criteria are allowed to exist and operate in the system.
Is it possible to get around heuristic technology? In theory, this is relatively easy. Create new malware samples and test them on VirusTotal, or purchase and install all the popular anti-viruses and see if they detect the malware. As soon as anti-viruses cease to detect it, the malware can be deployed on target machines.
Is there a way to stay protected? Greed and complexity give advantages to security software.
First, criminals may not understand how certain anti-virus features work. Yes, some of them aren't high profile hackers but just people who want to make easy money. By submitting their malware to VirusTotal, they assume that they are guaranteed to find out whether their new malicious file will be detected. In reality, VirusTotal doesn't use all anti-virus features—there, files are only examined using virus databases. That is, in fact, essentially the way to test heuristic technologies. However, an anti-virus is no longer limited to virus databases and heuristic technologies—it can now scan scripts, make use of behaviour analysis, and much more.
Those who use just an anti-virus do so at their own peril. That's because products of this kind do not incorporate features that supplement the capabilities of an engine. And if an anti-virus doesn't include a behaviour analysis feature, it won't be able to neutralise unknown threats; its developers are merely taking advantage of the myth that a good anti-virus can detect 100% of malware. Creating malware that will bypass its protection is not difficult at all. Criminals don't even need to buy anything—VirusTotal will suffice.
#anti-virus_scan #Dr.Web_technologies
Crafting malware that won't be detected by any anti-virus is a feasible task. However, anti-viruses that can neutralise malware of this kind (malware that evades heuristic technologies) exist, too.
As a matter of fact, criminals don't just want to bypass anti-virus protection, they want to do it quickly and get an instant profit. If they realize that crafting malware that won't be detected by a specific anti-virus won't yield much profit, they'd rather try their luck with machines protected by other anti-virus solutions.
Creating malware that will target machines protected with Dr.Web is not a profitable business, and here's why:
The FLY-CODE technology facilitates detection of malware that has been disguised with packers that aren't known to Dr.Web. The easiest way to conceal a file is to compress or encrypt it. Virus makers assume that in order to detect such a file, an anti-virus will need a corresponding malware signature. Until it receives the corresponding update, the system will be unprotected and malware will be able to do whatever it wants. But with Dr.Web that's not the case!
Dr.Web HyperVisor intercepts system calls on the lowest possible system level. An unknown malicious program can't dive deeper than Dr.Web, and, therefore, it will be eliminated as soon as the corresponding update arrives.
The Dr.Web behaviour analyser controls security from the inside. Using the Dr.Web ShellGuard technology within it, it detects attempts to exploit system processes. If a traditional behaviour analyser springs into action after 5-10 files have already been corrupted, Dr.Web ShellGuard doesn't give encryption ransomware that chance.
Dr.Web Anti-spam filters out up to 98% of malicious attachments, and that's just with the anti-spam technology!
ScriptHeuristic prevents any malicious browser scripts and PDF documents from being executed, without disabling the features of legitimate scripts.
And, don't forget that when properly configured, Parental/Office Control and the behaviour analyser (including restrictions for processes) can significantly reduce the risk of infection.
