Selena Gomez Promotes Lose You to Love Me and Look at Her Now in Two-Tone Mules
November 5, 2019 • by Anne De Guia
After taking a break from the limelight, Selena Gomez is finally back on track with the release of two new singles. Her newly released hits, "Lose You to Love Me" and "Look at Her Now," seem to reference her on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber.
It has been four years since she released her last album, Revival, and Selenators can't wait to hear more from the actress. In her recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, Selena admitted that she was close to releasing an album two years ago but she opted to take a moment to feel everything that she had gone through to understand and appreciate her journey better.
The Spring Breakers star also spoke about what fans can expect from her forthcoming third solo studio album, which is expected to be released in early 2020.
Last week, Selena showed off her style credentials while hitting the promotional trail in support of her new songs.
The 27-year-old singer was spotted arriving at iHeartRadio in New York City rocking the season's power suit trend effortlessly.

She wore a gray-colored plaid-patterned pantsuit, which consisted of an oversized double-breasted blazer ($595 at Nordstrom) and cropped pants ($325 at Nordstrom) by Frame.
Taking a feminine spin on the classic structured suit, Selena teamed the co-ords with a black Skims sculpting bodysuit ($62 at Skims).

Selena wore metallic eye-makeup with eyelash extensions and a swipe of red lipstick that matched her nails to inject a hint of sultriness to the look. She also styled her long caramel tresses down in loose waves with a center parting.

The Living Undocumented executive producer added a fun and modern twist to her professional plaid number with a black crossbody bag by Alexander McQueen and leather mules by Proenza Schouler that you can buy for $650 at Farfetch.

While suits are often paired with pumps, Selena opted for these two-toned mules, crafted from white leather and black suede materials. They feature a knot detail that looks more like a bandage, pointed toes, and sculpted silver-tone mirror block heels.

Ever think about your town and realize – this is my place – I rock it here!
You know where to eat, the backroads and shortcuts, what's playing, where to hang out.
It's a small slice of the world – but it's your slice of the world!
For me it's Louisville, Kentucky, USA!
Had so much fun making this!!! Tried the opposite of some of my usual tricks.
The Vignette is lighter rather than darker, it's almost a b&W but not quite.
Just love the look and feel of the whole thing!
It would be so nice to be able to do a ground pound in real life and have your protective shields snap into place!


The reality is that most of us have struggles. Paul himself, writes "I do what I don`t want and that I don`t want to do I do" and "who will rescue me from this body of death, thanks be to God for Christ Jesus..."
The heart takes a lot of stress with this inner battle going on within the Christian. The blood of Christ and the relationship we have to the Father through Christ makes healing and restoration available to us.
The story of David is a moving account of God`s hand on an individual. What we can learn is that not everything David did was perfect in his life, but whenever he messed up his heart did not become hard, but was soon broken before the LORD. His heart was strong before man, but before His God it was so easily broken. God was truly a "Father" figure to Him. He feared the LORD and loved the LORD in a way that is an example for all of us.
Let us continue to be fragile before Him. And if we have sinned against Him, let us confess it and let Him have mercy on us. His anger may last a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Amen.

Jeff Schechtman's "Talk Cocktail"
"To discover to the world something which deeply concerns it, and of which it was previously ignorant; to prove to it that it had been mistaken on some vital point of temporal or spiritual interest, is as important a service as a human being can render to his fellow creatures..." John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"
Suicide Among The Best And The Brightest: Portraits of Resilience
The great songwriter Johnny Mandel wrote, in the theme song for MASH, that "suicide is painless." It's not. The emotional pain and depression that often leads to it, is anything but. Moreover the pain for the survivors is unfathomable.
Yet we are witnessing an epidemic of suicide among some of best and brightest young people today. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among college students.
Back in 2014 and 2015, even such an esteemed institution as MIT experienced a suicide cluster, resulting in the death of 6 students and 1 faculty member.
Because of its deeply personal nature, the search for symptoms and causes needs to be more personal than clinical. After the MIT suicides, an MIT computer science professor, Daniel Jackson, set out to do something to begin to understand what had happened and to help others.
What he did, reached not into the pharmacy, but into the soul of his students. These end result is Portraits of Resilience.

I grew up during the Kennedy Presidency. It was a time when the best and the brightest sat center stage in the nation's psyche. I've always remembered the story, that at an arts gala at the White House, Kennedy looked around the room and proclaimed it "the greatest gathering of talent since Thomas Jefferson dined alone." Without the benefit of such trappings, I've had the opportunity, for the past nineteen years, to have a seat at an international banquet of ideas and history. My radio program provided me a unique opportunity to "travel" around the world and speak to thousands of the most imaginative thinkers and leaders in the arenas of politics, religion, journalism, business, popular culture, academics, science, economics, history, and medicine. During these years, I have taken many people with me on this journey. It has been a momentous time. The trauma of politics, the onslaught of technology, the insights of science, and the changes in the human condition make this a period almost unequaled in history. I'm excited that technology has now made it possible for me to take more of you along with me on this journey.

East Hampton police chief resigns
Jeff Mill
East Hampton Police Chief Sean Cox.Catherine Avalone / File photo
EAST HAMPTON - Police Chief Sean D. Cox is leaving East Hampton.
Cox announced Friday he is resigning effective Jan. 1, 2018. Cox presented his letter of resignation and his badge to Town Manager Michael Maniscalco Friday morning.
Cox, 49, a retired state police major, has been chief since May 2013. He was chosen from among 52 applicants for the post of chief, succeeding Matthew A. Reimondo.
Cox's sudden departure comes as police and town officials were celebrating approval of a proposal to build a new town hall/police station, and deflated the joy they were feeling.
Speaking by phone early Friday afternoon, Cox said he is leaving "to take private sector job in the defense industry."
Cox acknowledged last month's vote to approve the new town hall/police station "made it difficult to leave." But, "The opportunity to work in a large organization was very tempting to me," Cox said.
The fact that he has two children in college was an added inducement, Cox said. He will work in East Hampton through the 22nd and "then exhaust my accrued vacation leave." Cox said he will begin his new job "just after the first of the year."
"I'm very sad," Town Council Chairwoman Melissa Engel said Friday morning. "Sean's going to be sorely missed. He's been a good friend to our community. He left the department 110 percent steadier than when he found it, and for that I am very, very grateful."
Cox inherited a police department whose ability to perform even basic police functions was handicapped by the cramped and inadequate quarters they occupied in the basement of Town Hall. Cox initiated a series of cosmetic changes, but still had to accept the fact that the 2,400 square feet of space limited what he and his department could do.
And then came the opioid epidemic, which further strained the department.
Perhaps the low ebb of Cox's tenure came almost exactly a year ago, when a floor drain became clogged and backed up, spilling several inches of vile waste water through portions of headquarters. For several days, the department had to operate out of a state police-provided mobile command center (an oversized RV) while a crew tore out a portion of the floor, steam-cleaned the area and installed a new flooring.
In light of that indignity, Cox became a passionate advocate on behalf of finally ending 35 years of inaction and moving ahead with a plan to create a modern police facility that residents both expected and, he said, were entitled to.
Cox handed in his resignation one month and one day after residents narrowly approved the $18.9 million plan to build new town hall and police station on a 5.4-acre parcel of land in the Edgewater Hills mixed-use development.
"Everyone will be sad to see him go," Maniscalco said just minutes after receiving Cox's three-paragraph letter.
A member of the town staff came in to talk to Maniscalco just after Cox had left the manager's office. Pointing at the badge sitting on Maniscalco, the employee asked if was for a new officer.
"Take a look at it," Maniscalco said he told the employee.
When he did and realized its significance, Maniscalco said the employee's face "went white."
Former Town Council Chairwoman Patience R. Anderson said, "Such a shame to lose such a tremendous chief," in an email Friday.
Meanwhile, "The wheels are already in motion" to replace Cox, Maniscalco said.
Maniscalco was preparing a job announcement and paring a plan to establish "a public committee" that will shift through applicants for the position.
He said he will ask "police professionals from elsewhere in the state" to participate in the selection process.
Maniscalco must also appoint an interim chief.
"Sean had an amazing amount that he was able to accomplish in a very short period of time," Engel said.

Q: Is possible to extract the gray levels used in BulletGauge? THE SOLUTION IS IN THE FIRST COMMENT. I´m waiting for C.E. put as an answer to give the OK.
Related to  enter link description here where a solution to extract the colors used by BulletGauge was given, using
Trace[BulletGauge[{1, 1.8, 3, 3.4, 4, 5}, {2.4, 2.9}, {0,1.56, 3.5,
4.8}], _ColorData] // Flatten // First

How to extract the gray levels used? for example in
    BulletGauge[{1, 1.8, 3, 3.4, 4, 5}, {2.4, 2.9}, {0, 1.56, 3.5, 4.8},
 ImageSize -> Large]
where {0, 1.56, 3.5, 4.8} points indicate the number os levels.
I have tried deleting "First" but no succes.

A: This should work:
Cases[bg, _GrayLevel, Infinity]

where bg is a BulletGauge.

Associate Editor Arielle Christian wrote the 14-pager in the July issue, and it's still brilliant.
He has a "death clock." It's Austrian artist Werner Reiterer's "My Predicted Timeline. "The piece looks like a large alarm clock — a black bulky box with LED-red digital numbers — but instead of time to wake up, it's time never to wake up again." Reiterer based Wilson's predicted time of death on an actuary test. (Wilson's 68.) If the clock is right, on May 27, Wilson had 11 years, eight months, 18 days, zero hours, 52 minutes and 34 seconds left.
He has a tattoo on the middle of his forearm. It's a green four-leaf clover outlined in black.
The 21c Museum Hotel chain he founded with his wife Laura Lee Brown, the Brown-Forman heiress, has 1,000 employees, and more than 60,000 square feet of exhibition space. "I never expected it to be such a big enterprise, to have people identify with it so strongly," he says. The first week the giant "David" statue was installed outside the flagship hotel on West Main Street, "an incensed woman wrote a letter saying she'd never be able to bring her 12-year-old daughter downtown again." There are three more 21cs in the works, in Kansas City, Nashville, and Indianapolis. Other possible locations include New York City, New Orleans and Cuba.
At the 2014 Art Basel fair in Miami, Wilson bought $117,000 worth of art in less than 40 minutes.
He bought his famous red eyeglass frames on a whim in Paris. But he doesn't see well enough to read much because he has Fuchs' dystrophy, which is partly why he has a driver to get around, and needs someone to read restaurant menus to him.
Hotel gift shops sell newspapers, toothpaste, soft drinks and the like — but mattresses and bedding? Louisville-based 21c Museum Hotel does. Plus, those ubiquitous ceramic penguins, of course, all at Shop at 21c.
Saturdays are for sleeping in. Can't stop thinking about our beds? Our mattresses and bedding are available at shopat21c.com.
A news summary, focused on 10 big employers; updated 4:36 p.m.
AMAZON's plans to use drones for delivery were slowed yesterday when the Obama Administration released new rules limiting their use, including over urban areas. The Federal Aviation Administration said commercial drones are OK so long as the drone and its payload weigh less than 55 lbs., stays within unaided sight of their pilot, and operators pass a test every two years. In addition, each drone must have its own pilot (Guardian). Also yesterday, Amazon said it's expanding grocery delivery service to Boston (Boston Inno). The retail giant employs 6,000 employees in the Louisville area, and thousands more across the state.
KFC: In India, the fast-chicken giant has introduced its latest mobile technology to lure younger diners: Watt a Box, a 5-in-1 meal box that comes with a Chicken Zinger, two hot wings, hash browns, a chocolate pie, Pepsi and a 6,100 mAh Lithium-ion battery to charge smartphones. The device isn't sold, but instead can be won as part of a week-long competition; watch the demo video, above (The Memo). Some customers aren't so thrilled, however: Testers who charged an iPhone with the box said it only gained 17% battery after charging for half-an-hour, during which time the powerbank became completely drained (Eater).
Here are spots by Hammond and MacDonald, who's none-too-pleased with the switch, either.
YUM: As Yum gears up to spin off its China operations in October, rival McDonald's has received more than half a dozen bids for its China and Hong Kong stores, including from Beijing Tourism Group, Sanpower and ChemChina, in an auction that could fetch up to $3 billion. In March, McDonalds said it was reorganising its Asian operations by bringing in partners who would own the restaurants within a franchise business (Reuters).
Brown-Forman chief executive Paul Varga's fiscal 2016 pay was down from $11 million the year before and $12.3 million two years prior, the company disclosed in its annual shareholders proxy report.
Compensation for the other four highest-paid executives was mixed vs. the year before, according to the report, which the Louisville whiskey distilling giant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission late this afternoon.
The figures appear on Page 40, and cover the year ended April 30. In addition to Varga, they include CFO Jane Morreau; Mark McCallum, president of the marquee Jack Daniel's brand; Jill Jones, executive vice president over North America and Latin America regions, and General Counsel Matthew Hamel.
In fiscal 2015, Brown's non-equity incentive pay was much less: $281,845, according to last year's proxy report. But that year he was still working as an executive vice president in addition to his chairman's duties. For his EVP work, he was paid $320,427. He left that job a year ago today.
The Brown family controls Brown-Forman through their enormous stock portfolio, preserved through multiple generations — at least four — that followed George Garvin Brown, a pharmaceuticals salesman who started the company in Louisville in 1870. At current market prices, the family's holdings are worth at least $6 billion — but in reality, much more.
The holdings are divided between the company's two classes of stock: "A" shares, which carry voting rights, and non-voting "B" shares. Both classes trade on public markets, although for different prices. The family owns at least 67% of the A shares, according to the proxy report.
Chairman Brown and his brother, Campbell Brown — who's also a senior executive at the company — hold one of the family's single-biggest stakes: 6.8 million class A shares, through an entity called the G. Garvin Brown III Family Group. At today's closing price of $105.48, those shares are worth $718 million.
Campbell, 48, has been president and managing director of Old Forester, the company's founding bourbon brand, since 2015.
Another big stockholder is Laura Lee Brown, who with her husband Steve Wilson, founded the trendy 21c Museum Hotel chain in Louisville. She owns 2.2 million class A shares outright, worth $233 million at current prices.
In the proxy report, Brown-Forman said it did business with the couple, as it has in previous years. It includes developing historic Whiskey Row on Main Street into a complex of new lofts, retail and restaurant space to be called 111 Whiskey Row. The company paid $900,000 to a company controlled by the couple: Brown Wilson Development, according to the proxy report.
The project was heavily damaged in a fire last summer, but was saved and work continues.
Brown-Forman also paid the couple $267,395 for rooms, meals and other entertainment at their 21c hotel and its Proof on Main restaurant. It also paid them another $250,440 for leases on parking spaces in a garage they own adjoining Brown-Forman's downtown offices.
Valuing the Brown family's total stock holdings is difficult. Individual members own shares outright. They also have partial, beneficial ownership through family partnerships and legal entities. Because they overlap with other family members, it's hard to assign a value to them.
However, counting each share just once among family members owning more than 5% of all outstanding shares, their combined total is about 57 million, worth $6 billion. But that only covers shares held by the single-biggest owners who, under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, are required to disclose holdings exceeding 5%. There may be other Browns sitting on multimillion-dollar positions, undisclosed because they don't meet the 5% threshold.
And that's only counting the class A shares. The Browns own several million non-voting B shares, too. Determining exactly how many is tricky, but tables and footnotes in the proxy report offer clues.
For example, Garvin Brown IV and his brother Campbell together own 1.3 million Class B shares outright; at today's closing price of $97.90, they're worth another $125 million. Adding that to their A shares, the brothers own $843 million in stock.
Sandra Frazier, who just cycled off the board of directors, owns 373,376 B shares plus 1.4 million A shares. They're worth a total $185 million. Frazier, 44, is CEO of Tandem Public Relations in Louisville, which she founded in 2005. She's also a member of the board of directors at Glenview Trust Co., a boutique wealth management company that serves 500 of the richest families in the area.
Her first cousin, Laura Frazier, joined the Brown-Forman board when Sandra left. Laura owns 239,829 B shares and 225,433 A shares. Combined, they're worth $47.3 million. In addition to being a director, Laura, 58, owns Bittners, the high end furniture and decorating company in NuLu.

Her 2015 release, Chameleons, is enjoying airplay across the US and is a particular favorite on Key West radio. Songs run the gamut from ballads like "Blue Day" (recently featured in the Lifetime movie The Wrong Car), to all out rockers like "You Push My Love Away" to sweet reflections like "When The Day is Through". She was recently featured in Ralph De Palma's book, The Soul of Key West Volume 2, a definitive anthology of the best musicians in Key West. Adrienne is the only woman guitarist ever featured at the Italian guitar blog, Guitar Nerding. She is also a teacher and vocal coach. Adrienne performs steadily in the Florida Keys both solo and with her bands, as well as touring the US East Coast during the summer.
Adrienne achieved local success in the metro Boston area early in her career both in local clubs and the streets of Harvard Square Cambridge. After producing her first release, Once Step Closer, her song "Overboard" became the most requested song on local college radio station, WERS. Soon after producing her second release, "Dust into Dawn", she was nominated for a Boston Music Award and featured in Boston Women Magazine. After her third release, Looking Within Looking Without," she got heavy airplay on college radio and a feature article in Songtalk Magazine published by the National Academy of Songwriters where they called Adrienne an "enchanting and exquisite talent."

Belinda & Ivan flew up from Southern California to elope with their families in Henry Cowell State Park. The two are very into nature so it was the perfect spot for them. As the day approached I saw rain in the forecast, while I don't mind the rain I wasn't sure how Belinda & Ivan would feel about a rainy wedding day. We showed up greeted by a light drizzle. At the start of their beautiful and intimate ceremony in the redwoods there was a little rain but by the end of the ceremony we were all basically getting drenched. Their ceremony was beautiful and fitting for this couple. They had a ring warming where the rings were passed and had their love poured into them during their ceremony, a little touch that I loved. We signed wedding papers by cellphone light under a small tent and then ran around in the rain in the redwoods to capture their love for each other and nature. The perfect rainy day elopement.

Chickens Come Home to Roost for Michael Phelps
Some of the chickens came home to roost for Olympic athlete and swimmer Michael Phelps today, after a recent photo surfaced of him smoking marijuana at a Columbia, SC party. Kellogg & Co. has decided not to renew the athlete's advertising contract. Company spokeswoman Susanne Norwitz said: "Michael's most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg…His contract expires at the end of February, and we have made a decision not to extend his contract." Kellogg's, the first company to drop Phelps as an advertising spokesman in the wake of the pot picture, had featured Phelps on its Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes cereal boxes. The value of the Kellogg's endorsement is not known, although it's believed that Phelps's lifetime earnings from endorsements could reach $100 million.
More bad news came later in the day. Although the International Olympic Committee accepted Phelps' apology for the partying behavior, USA Swimming, which governs U.S. competitive swimming, barred Phelps — the winner of 14 gold medals — from swimming competitively for three months and withdrew financial support for the swimmer during the period of the "reprimand." In a written statement, USA swimming said: "This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming-member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero."
Interestingly, the "Baltimore Bullet," as Phelps is also known, was one of 12 Olympic athletes who pledged last year to "My Victory," a program launched by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to help keep competitive sports clean. Phelps' picture and profile have been removed from the My Victory website. And then there were 11.

Within the Teal, males and females show a different colouration in the body. The males with grey flanks and a spotted chest, and the females showing a mottled pattern. The heads of these species both show a green patch surrounding the eye, making these ducks easily recognisable.
Teals are migratory birds and therefore move with the seasons. They are a resident species in Britain and can be seen all year round, however their numbers increase significantly during the winter. Teals can be found throughout the northern hemisphere. This duck species lives in ponds, marshes, estuaries and sheltered coastal environments.
The teal is primarily a surface feeder meaning that they feed on small invertebrates and plant matter. On land they can be seen eating seeds.
Cats, large birds of prey, foxes and weasels are know to prey on this duck species. In addition to predation, however, the teal is susceptible to habitat degredation and are still hunted in a number of different parts of the world.
In winter there can be as many as 218,000 teals migrate into Britain. There are approximately 2,000 breeding pairs that are present in the UK all year round.
A group of teals are called a "spring".

The Carbon Trust's Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) has launched a competition to support the development of 66kV offshore wind cables for deployment at UK Round 3 projects. At least two cable suppliers will be awarded funding of up to £300,000 (€350,000).
Moving from 33kV to 66KV cables would mean fewer substations, reduced system losses and lower overall cable requirements. OWA developers – DONG Energy, E.ON, Mainstream Renewable Power, RWE Innogy, ScottishPower Renewables, SSE Renewables, Statkraft, Statoil and Vattenfall – all see 66 kV as the optimal intra-array voltage.They will use the information gathered from the competition to inform future cable procurement decisions.
Phil De Villiers, the Carbon Trust's head of offshore wind, said: "Developing the next generation of cables will provide a much-needed boost to the economics of offshore wind power and alone can cut costs by around 1.5%. We've designed the competition to incentivise cable manufacturers that deliver a qualified product as soon as possible so they can be put to sea by 2015."


Hair SOS: I neglected my locks on vacation!
The vacation period is coming to its end and you've realised that the sun, sea and sand has taken its toll on your hair. After spending weeks submitting your hair to external aggressions, your style has become dull and damaged. Want to find out how to restore its natural healthy shine? The pros reveal all.
Don't worry! Even if you didn't look after your hair at all on vacation, you can still salvage it. 'Even hair that received no protection whatsoever from the hot sun and salty water can be saved from the dreaded haircut! However, you'll certainly need to take more care of your locks when you return from golden sands'.
Has your holiday left you with dry hair? 'Your ends will dry out even more when you land back home. It's at this point that you should be using keratin-based products, not limited to simply shampoos, from the Keratin Therapy range. The range's heat-protective spray and intensive hair mask will be a godsend to frazzled ends'.
Now it's time to consider your color. 'If your hair color has changed or faded, you'll need to head to your salon to find out what your stylist can do to restore your original shade. In general, hair that has been damaged tends to appear dull and lifeless. You need to shake up your haircare routine and the products you use, making sure you get regular salon-touch ups'.
Our advice: Whatever the state your hair is in post-vacation, make an appointment with your stylist. They will often recommend trimming the ends to remove any dead hair and boost your hair's vitality to remove sun-related damage.

Transgender women are facing a devastating medical crisis—and no one's talking about it
Bamby Salcedo describes the past month of her life in one word: "devastation." It was late August when the activist and community organizer first learned about the ongoing injectable estrogen shortage in the United States, which has been gradually impacting the lives of transgender women and transfeminine people like herself for over a year now. As the nation's supply dries up, trans people who rely on injectable estrogen are panicking.
"Members of the community are not finding out" about the shortage, Salcedo told me. "I don't think many service providers even know about it. I still have not received notice from a doctor." In fact, if it weren't for an acquaintance who works at the clinic she goes to, Salcedo, who founded the Los Angeles-based TransLatin@ Coalition in 2009 to advocate for the needs of trans Latinx immigrants in the U.S., might still be in the dark about the status of her medication, which she described as "life-saving."
Synthetic estrogen plays a crucial role for trans women and transfeminine people who choose to undergo hormone replacement therapy as a means of medically transitioning. Yet the growing disappearance of its injectable form from the pharmaceutical market has gone largely unnoticed beyond the circles of those affected. Salcedo said that she has "not seen any" media coverage of the shortage, despite the subject's constant presence on her various social media feeds. That's not surprising. In the eight weeks since Out magazine's website broke the news of the "Injectable Estrogen Shortage That's Leaving Trans Women in Crisis," very few outlets have picked up the story. This silence, Salcedo told me, must be broken.
"They would not deny a person who is diabetic their medication, right?" she asked. "Access to hormones saves lives. Not having this medication puts us in danger."
For the unfamiliar, the hormone estrogen has the ability to affect the body's expression of secondary sex characteristics such as fat cell distribution, breast development, and the appearance of pores. People taking injectable estrogen administer the hormone directly into the muscle approximately every two weeks—typically in 40 milligram doses, although less concentrated 20 milligram and 10 milligram doses are also manufactured.
And more broadly, hormone replacement therapy—which can also include testosterone-blocking anti-androgens and, less commonly, progestogens—has the power to change the lives of trans women and transfeminine people, both psychologically and physically. Going on hormones can reduce the chances that a trans person will be misgendered when they leave their home. Going on hormones can reduce the chances that they will be harassed or targeted for violence. The world can be a violently hostile place for trans and gender nonconforming people: The majority of reported homicides in 2015 in which the victim was LGBTQ and/or HIV-affected were trans and gender nonconforming people, and over half of those people murdered were black trans women and trans women of color.
Not every trans person chooses to medically transition. Not every trans person is socioeconomically privileged enough to make that choice in the first place. But for the trans women and transfeminine people who do, Bamby Salcedo said, the regimen has the potential to make that "target" on their backs just a little bit smaller.
🚨🚨🚨
The injectable estrogen shortage, which reportedly began about 19 months ago, is the result of slow-moving corporate and bureaucratic processes stretching from private pharmaceutical companies to the federal government. These companies include Par Pharmaceutical, which manufactures brand name Delestrogen, and Perrigo Company, which is responsible for generic alternative estradiol valerate.
Heather Zoumas Lubeski, the senior director of corporate affairs at Par Pharmaceutical's parent company, said that the shortage began once the supplier for Delestrogen's active pharmaceutical ingredient, estradiol, stopped producing the material. Par has found a new supplier, but the company cannot distribute it until they have received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Once they receive approval, the supplier will be able to ship "immediately," Lubeski said, although she could not say how long the FDA's approval process will take. Lubeski also declined to name the previous or current estradiol suppliers. Perrigo Company did not respond to a request for comment.
Medication shortages happen "all the time," said Dr. Asa Radix, senior director of research and education at New York City's Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. But usually, medical providers can switch from brand name to generic, or vice-versa, until the shortage is over. Since the FDA holdup is affecting both Delestrogen and Perrigo's alternative, that is not an option.
The effects of the shortage are still trickling down nationwide, and the availability of injectable estrogen can vary from clinic to clinic. When the preferred 40 milligram dose ran out at Callen-Lorde, the LGBTQ-focused service provider began doubling up on 20 milligram doses. When they depleted their 20 milligram supply, they started quadrupling 10 milligram doses. Due to its lower concentration, this dose requires four milliliters of fluid to be injected into the muscle in a single sitting, an experience that Radix described as incredibly "uncomfortable" for the person to whom that muscle belongs.
"We need the 40 milligram dose," they said.
The shortage has not affected the supply of non-injectable forms of estrogen at present, but many trans women and transfeminine people prefer injections over the hormone's patch and tablet forms. Some feel that injectable estrogen is more effective than its alternatives. Others do not like the fact that the patch and the tablet must be administered far more frequently than the injectable estrogen that they are used to: The patch is applied once or twice a week, and the tablet is taken daily. Understandably, some people would rather not sign up for a new medication regimen, and one that's more rigorous, especially when physical changes like breast development and fat-cell redistribution could be temporarily affected. Switching from an injection every other week to a daily tablet also makes some trans women and transfeminine people more vulnerable to involuntary disclosure of their identity, which could have life-threatening consequences should their family members, roommates, or coworkers react negatively.
It's crucial for medical providers to respect patients' wishes when it comes to the medications they choose to put in their bodies, said Sasanka Jinadasa, the capacity building and community resource manager at HIPS, a nonprofit that promotes harm reduction among people and communities impacted by sex work and drug use in Washington, D.C.. This holds true for patients with means and those without. Both groups will be directly affected by the shortage at some point, but those on the more vulnerable end of the spectrum—uninsured trans people, low-income trans people, undocumented trans people, trans people of color, incarcerated trans people—will be impacted harder.
The injectable estrogen shortage and the lack of awareness among those affected are just the latest entries in a transgender medical history rife with bias, discrimination, and inaccessibility. In 2015, the Movement Advancement Project found that 70% of trans people reported being discriminated against by their medical providers, while 19% said that they were refused care outright. Forty-one states offer no legal protection against healthcare discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, leaving many trans people to seek alternatives outside of the mainstream healthcare industry.
For many trans people, that means seeking injectable estrogen on the street or through other underground channels—all of which could be affected by the shortage, too. "Street-based hormones is a pretty readily available market," said Jinadasa. Indeed, she said, the transgender people with whom she works have never had trouble getting injectable estrogen this way, adding, "some don't even access medical providers to begin with."
While Callen-Lorde's Radix warns against the use of any medication that is not obtained through a certified medical provider, these official routes aren't an option for every trans person, especially if they are uninsured or are low-income. Even if access is made available, they might still prefer to go through a member of the community with a prescription whom they love and trust over risking yet another discriminatory interaction within an institutional system.
"People just have such bad relationships with the [healthcare] system," Jinadasa added. "They see how this system fails trans folks over and over. Even if insurance covers [hormones], they might see it as something to keep up with that's only going to fail them."
Street hormones may have offered a somewhat workable solution for uninsured or lower-income trans people until now, but if the medical shortage reaches this vulnerable community, the effects could be disastrous. The problem boils down to the fact that a lot of street hormones are originally obtained from certified medical providers in the U.S., said Jinadasa, which will disappear from the market once a provider runs out. In decreasing the overall supply of injectable estrogen, the shortage will drive up the price of hormones on the street. For a lower-income person whose lack of socioeconomic privilege drove them outside the mainstream healthcare market in the first place, such an increase would be untenable.
"It's really difficult for some people to just get places. Taking the bus or taking the Metro to go to a medical provider appointment on the other side of the city could cost $3 or $4, which might not be something everybody has," said Jinadasa. "They could use that money to buy food or they could use that money to get to a medical appointment, which doesn't seem as immediately useful. Underground markets exist for so many needs."
When those markets dry up, the people who rely on them could find themselves out of money, out of hormones, and facing grave threats to their health, safety, and wellbeing.
No matter where they get their hormones, all trans women and transfeminine people who take injectable estrogen will be affected by the shortage, if they haven't been already.
Suppliers told pharmacists that the injectable estrogen shortage would last until at least October, according to Out and The Guardian's reporting, but Callen-Lorde's Radix doubts that the shortage will end next month, and representatives from the companies that make injectable estrogen aren't commenting.
"This is a life or death situation for people," said Bamby Salcedo of the TransLatin@ Coalition. "If pharmaceutical companies do not take on the fact that these are our lives that we're talking about, if they don't do the right thing to save the lives of our people, they are participating in what is called institutional violence. They are sending the message that society, as a whole, thinks we are disposable. That we are not worth it. That we are not valuable. That it is OK to kill us. We need to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable. Our lives are in their hands."
Correction: This article originally stated that 40 milliliters of injectable estrogen with a concentration of 10 milligram per dose must be injected into the muscle in a single sitting. That is incorrect. It is four milliliters, not 40.

Peter Facinelli's A7SLE Films Taps 'Demonic' Scribe To Adapt 'The Devil's Rooming House'
EXCLUSIVE: A7SLE Films has hired Max La Bella to script the true story adaptation The Devil's Rooming House, about early 20th century murderess Amy Archer-Gilligan. A7SLE Films, the production shingle co-founded by Twilight and Nurse Jackie star Peter Facinelli, snapped up rights to writer M. William Phelps' chronicle of the Archer-Gilligan saga last year. Archer-Gilligan was the unassuming nursing home proprietress who had a curiously high number of fatalities occur in her house between 1907 and 1917. The majority of the deaths were found later to be caused by poisoning, and Archer-Gilligan was found guilty of multiple counts of murder. Her story would go on to inspire the play and Cary Grant film Arsenic And Old Lace.

La Bella previously wrote Dimension Films' James Wan-produced thriller Demonic, starring Maria Bello and Frank Grillo, and recently sold an untitled thriller to Skydance.

La Bella is repped by Gersh, Grade A Entertainment, and Alexander, Lawrence, Frumes & Labowitz, LLP.

With the passing of Dave Frohnmayer on March 9, 2015, we have lost a remarkable statesman and friend. Although the sadness that comes with his absence will be felt for a long time, we can find comfort in reflecting on this amazing man's life. He leaves behind a powerful legacy as a charismatic leader in the national and statewide political arena, in public higher education, in the health sector, and in a multitude of other public service roles.
Dave Frohnmayer was a dedicated and visionary leader who would give as much to the nation as to his beloved state of Oregon. After growing up in the small town of Medford, Oregon, Dave attended Harvard University for his undergraduate education and the University of California, Berkeley for his law degree. He was also a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University in England. In 1969, he began his national service as special assistant to Elliot Richardson, then the U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. While in Washington, D.C., he met his future wife Lynn, an Oregon native, Stanford graduate, and former Peace Corps volunteer who had just finished teaching English on the Ivory Coast.
Oregon was the great beneficiary of their talents: they moved back to their home state in 1971, when Dave joined the faculty of the University of Oregon School of Law. He next served from 1974 to 1980 in the Oregon House of Representatives. Earl Blumenauer, a U.S. Representative from Oregon (D) who served with Dave in the state legislature during this period, remembers him as a "voice in the finest tradition of progressive Republicanism in Oregon. Dave was thoughtful, reform-oriented, and was a great partner to work [with] on legislation and public policy." Dave subsequently served as the Oregon attorney general, winning three consecutive terms in office (in 1980, 1984, and 1988). A fierce defender of public values, his legacy endures through the transparency in government that he assured via clarifying and creating landmark Oregon public records laws. A gifted attorney, he was also victorious in six of the seven cases he argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.
With his appointment in 1994 as president of the University of Oregon, he became the state's most prominent advocate for higher education: someone who knew how both the state capitol and a state university were supposed to work. For fifteen years he served as president, including some of the most difficult financial years faced by public higher education in the state. I had a front-row seat to observe his leadership during this period, serving as a governor appointee to the State Board of Higher Education, the governing board for public higher education institutions in Oregon. In meetings in which institutional parochialism often tainted discussions, President Frohnmayer would rise above the fray with eloquent oratory that would impress even his opponents with his ability to clarify issues and assist in developing a unifying path forward. He was a master in his ability to bring people together and build successful partnerships. He was also a master in knowing when to push and when to be patient. During his tenure as president of the University of Oregon, he helped the university add nineteen new degree programs, double the number of federal research grants, increase student enrollment, build or renovate fourteen campus buildings, and raise $1.1 billion.
The American Academy of Arts & Sciences has also been the beneficiary of his wisdom and expertise following his election as a Fellow in 2002. He served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Academy, and as a member of the Compensation Committee, Audit Committee, and the Committee on Development and Public Relations. His willingness to be an active member of the Advisory Committee of The Lincoln Project: Excellence and Access in Public Higher Education further demonstrated his passion for the health and vitality of public higher education in this country. His exemplary service to the Academy was characteristic of the many other leadership roles that he took, including serving on the Ford Foundation Board of Directors, the Executive Committee of the Association of American Universities, and as the founding director of the National Marrow Donor Program.
While Dave savored his efforts in public service, he was equally dedicated to his family and the pursuit of a cure for Fanconi anemia, the rare genetic medical condition that had taken the lives of two of his daughters and threatens his third daughter. In 1989, he and his wife Lynn founded the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund to find effective treatments and a cure for Fanconi anemia and to provide education and support services to affected families worldwide. Their efforts have resulted in significant breakthroughs in the understanding of Fanconianemia. With their help, researchers have now identified the genes that cause the disease, as well as genes linked to breast and ovarian cancer. Fanconi anemia patients are now living longer because of the efforts of the Frohnmayers.
With his passing has come an outpouring of stories of the wisdom, leadership, sense of humor, generosity, and humility that defined his life. The stories illustrate in very human terms how he inspired others to achieve their best and to never stop giving. Even in his final days, when only his closest friends and family knew of the seriousness of his cancer, he was teaching his leadership course to students at the university and driving from Eugene to Portland to attend a charity event. The effects of that endless giving that he practiced while living will continue well beyond his passing. To his devoted wife Lynn, sons Mark and Jonathan, and daughter Amy, we extend our heartfelt condolences.

Born in 1971, Stefanus J. Oosthuizen – better known as Fanie – began farming in 2000 and delivered his first load to Meatco in 2002.
At the AGM held on 24 June 2016, Oosthuizen was elected as a co-opted member on the Meatco Board of Directors, to represent the interests of commercial farmers.
Having studied Civil Engineering and completing an S4 technical degree at the Cape Town Technicon, Fanie has enjoyed various successes as a producer, including being the Producer of the Year in 2008 as well Top 10 Producer in the very same year.
"In my view there is a need for co-ordination between farming and marketing so that we can produce what is wanted by the consumers, while Meatco must seek new ways to deliver a unique, sought-after product to the international market. The 'image' of the Namibian producer and Namibia as a whole, is an ever-growing marketing tool that needs attention," Oosthuizen says.
The Summerdown farmer feels Meatco is a vital instrument in the survival of the livestock industry, thanks to its ability to harvest foreign currency. "All producers in Namibia must realize that our future may be solely dependent on Meatco," he says.

Sterling climbs above $1.30, as investors await figures on UK's economic growth.
The pound was on the front foot against the dollar on Tuesday (25 July), as the UK's factory output rose at the fastest pace in 22 years and investors awaited data the country's economic growth.
Having struggled through most of July, sterling was 0.37% higher against the dollar, trading at $1.3077, and broadly flat against the euro, fetching €1.1182.
The sudden spike against the greenback came as data released by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), showed Britain's factory output climbed to its highest level since January 1995 in the three months to July.
The survey of 397 manufacturers also found businesses were optimistic over exports growth in the next 12 months, despite a decline in new order growth.
Andrew Wishart from Capital Economics said the survey suggested the recent weakness in the hard manufacturing data could soon be replaced by steady growth, while the quarterly indicated the improvement will be maintained throughout the third quarter.
"Today's survey adds to the evidence that the recent weakness in manufacturing will soon be reversed," he added.
"An improvement in the sector's fortunes should help to offset a slowdown in consumer services over the rest of the year."
However, Samuel Tombs, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, warned against reading too much into the survey, as the CBI's reports have been "far too upbeat" over the last six months.
"The CBI's survey has a small sample size and it is not seasonally adjusted, despite showing a strong seasonal pattern," Tombs explained.
"Its measure of orders also reflects the number of manufacturers reporting them to be above or below 'normal', which is a moving target. For now, then, we're inclined to place less weight than usual on the CBI's survey."
Investors' attention will now switch to the release of second quarter GDP data, which is scheduled for tomorrow (26 July) and which could have a drastic impact on the pound. The UK economy is expected to have grown 1.7% year-on-year in the second three months of 2017, compared with 2% in the first quarter.
On a quarterly basis, meanwhile, economists forecast a 0.3% growth, slightly higher than the 0.2% recorded in the first quarter.
In its latest survey of economic growth published earlier this week, the International Monetary Fund said it expects the UK economy to grow by 1.7% this year, compared with the 2% it forecast in April, while growth forecast for 2018 remained unchanged at 1.5%.
"The GDP growth number is very politically charged at the moment, because it acts as a scoreboard for Brexit," said Laith Khalaf, senior analyst at Hagreaves Lansdown.
"Expectations are for growth of just 0.3%, which if met would suggest a disappointing showing in the first quarter was not just a one-off blip."
Khalaf added a growth number close to 0.3% would be higher than the dire economic forecasts released saw in the immediate aftermath of Brexit, but would make the latest Bank of England prediction for 1.9% growth this year a bit stretched, and requiring a significantly stronger second half of the year.
"We shouldn't set too much store by one quarter's GDP number, however the longer term picture is important," he explained.
"Economic growth provides employment and wage rises, and helps to keep government borrowing in check. It also influences monetary policy [...] so the GDP growth number is significant for almost everyone in the country, even those who aren't keeping tally on Brexit."

YOUR PEOPLE ARE YOUR BUSINESS
Who Becomes an HR Leader?
We looked at the personalities of more than 1,000 HR executives to see how they stack up against other workers around the world. Here's what we found.
By Ryne A. Sherman, Ph.D., and Matthew R. Lemming
The primary task of human resources has historically been to handle employee benefits and grievances. As such, HR played a very minimal role in corporate strategy and an organization's success or failure. This might have worked just fine when the people working in steel mills and on factory floors were viewed as replaceable cogs in a machine. Not so much anymore.
Modern organizations now realize the critical role that talent (i.e., the people in the organization) plays in its success. That is, people aren't just replaceable cogs in a machine; some employees are better than others, and employing top talent is a major factor in organizational success.
Sign up for the monthly TalentQ Newsletter, an essential roundup of news and insights that will help you make critical talent decisions.
This change is reflected in the rise of people analytics, strategic HR, and new job titles like chief people officer. As a result, HR has taken a more prominent role in modern organizations. The unit is now tasked with building a sustainable competitive advantage through the management and acquisition of top talent.
We can consider the HR unit of any organization to be itself a sort of mini-organization. Thus, the same principles that apply to the larger organization apply to HR as well. We know that the success or failure of any organization largely depends on the leader. Therefore, it makes sense to examine the personalities of those people who are leading HR departments around the globe.
To do so, we searched our archives for every person who had completed a Hogan Assessment with one of the following job titles: chief HR officer (CHRO), chief people officer (CPO), executive/senior vice president of HR (EVPs/SVPs), vice president/associate vice president of HR (VPs/AVPs), director/head of HR, and HR manager.
We identified more than 1,000 HR leaders in these roles. We analyzed the personalities of these HR leaders, comparing them with our global normative data.
How do HR leaders differ from other members of the global working population? In what follows, we describe our findings in terms of differences in motivation, everyday bright-side behaviors, and dark-side behaviors that occur when we let our guard down.
Human Resources Versus Everyone Else
In terms of motivation, we find that HR leaders are above average on Altruism (defined as a concern about the welfare of others and the desire to contribute to a better society) and above average on Hedonism (a desire to enjoy life and have fun).
Additionally, HR leaders scored well below average on Science (a desire for knowledge and using data to drive decision-making). This means the typical HR leader wants to help others, enjoys fun work environments, and prefers making decisions based on experience and gut feelings as opposed to data or scientific research.
Figure 1: MVPI Profile for HR Executives v. HR Managers
In terms of their typical daily behavior, we discovered that HR leaders are above average on Ambition (the tendency to take the lead, compete with others, and push for results), above average on Interpersonal Sensitivity (the tendency to be caring, get along with others, and avoid conflict), and below average on Inquisitiveness (the tendency to be curious, inquisitive, and open to new ideas).
This means the typical HR leader comes across to others as warm, friendly, and caring; competitive and leader-like; and grounded and practical.
Figure 2. HPI Profile for HR Executives v. HR Managers
In terms of dark-side behaviors, or the way HR leaders derail and hurt their own careers, we discovered a distinction between HR executives and HR managers. Specifically, HR executives score above average on moving against(the tendency to directly engage in confrontation and "win" interpersonal conflicts through force of will) behaviors.
Figure 3. HDS Profile for HR Executives v. HR Managers
Lower-level HR managers, on the other hand, scored above average on moving away(the tendency to avoid confrontations and interpersonal conflict) behaviors and above average on moving toward(the tendency to resolve confrontation and interpersonal problems by befriending and working hard to please the source of the conflict) behaviors.
Thus, HR leaders in higher-level roles are more likely to confront problems directly through intimidation or charm, whereas those in lower-level leadership roles are more likely to avoid direct confrontation.
Overall, these results paint a portrait of the typical HR leader as someone who cares deeply about other people, wants other people to enjoy work, resists anything construed as an unfair workplace demand, and uses intuition and experience to solve workplace problems.
The Upshot: What Does This All Mean?
Successful organizations must make good decisions about money and people. Though organizations have always recognized the importance of being smart about money, they've only recently begun to realize the critical role that talent plays in success.
A key insight from this study is that the typical HR leader isn't particularly persuaded by data-based arguments and data-based decision-making, and not well-versed in scientifically literacy. As a result, the average HR leader isn't capable of distinguishing truly valid assessments—those that actually predict job performance—from invalid ones.
This presents a challenge for legitimate providers who use scientifically validated assessments. Arguments centered around data, validity, and return on investment may not work with key HR decision-makers because they value personal experience more and are unable to critically evaluate the scientific merits of various assessments.
This finding may, in part, explain the recent influx of unscrupulous assessment providers, who largely emphasize marketing and user experience (at the expense of predicting performance), into organizations.
For legitimate assessment providers, we see four ways forward:
1. Assessment providers ought to work more closely with HR educators to emphasize the importance of making personnel decisions based on scientifically-proven selection methods.
2. Organizations should be able to improve their own personnel selection processes by simply hiring and promoting HR professionals with scientific backgrounds to more senior roles.
3. Assessment providers will need to continue educating their clients on the critical importance of assessment validity.
4. Assessment providers would be wise to adapt their marketing and platforms—without sacrificing validity—to meet the expectations of clients who may be less scientifically savvy and more interested in style, design, and user experience.
Ryne A. Sherman, Ph.D., is the chief science officer of Hogan Assessments. Prior to joining Hogan, he was an associate professor in the department of psychology at Texas Tech University, where he researched the importance of individual differences, the psychological properties of situations, and developing tools for data analysis.
Matthew R. Lemming is a senior research consultant at Hogan Assessments. Prior to joining Hogan, he was a strategic data manager at Purdue University, where he analyzed data that guided decision making and monitored progress toward strategic goals.

If you're currently researching mastermind groups and thinking about joining one, you may have heard the term "Hot Seat" tossed around. To be clear, this doesn't refer to the heating element in luxury cars, nor is it having a bright light shining on you while you're grilled for information.
The Hot Seat (can also be called various things depending on the group you join) is the position in a mastermind group when you get to ask for exactly what you need to move your business or yourself forward. You could be asking a specific question, asking for advice about a problem you're facing, getting help with a decision you're facing, or wanting feedback and ideas on changes you want to make. The Hot Seat is where mastermind group magic happens.
The thought of being in the limelight - the Hot Seat - where all eyes are on you can be scary. No matter how large or small your mastermind group, being the center of attention can be daunting, especially when you're baring the soul of your business. But if you remember that the purpose of a mastermind group is to provide feedback in a supportive and constructive way so all members can grow and prosper, Hot Seat becomes less onerous. Every mastermind Facilitator uses their own term, and many allow the group members to decide what to call their Hot Seat position. What you call it doesn't matter as long as it provides the benefits expected from a Hot Seat.
You're facing a challenge in your business; your mastermind group is there to help. Whether you're looking to increase profits, decrease stress, or re-brand yourself, you bring it to your group through your Hot Seat. Most often, your Facilitator will ask you to submit a Prep Form before the meeting. That tool allows you to get clear in your mind exactly what's going on for you and where you need help from the group.
During your Hot Seat, all the attention is on you (in a good way). Other members brainstorm possible solutions, provide feedback about your new design or service, or share experiences they've had in their own business to support you in yours. By the end of your Hot Seat, you'll have a host of new ideas you may never have come up with working alone.
How Often Should You Be in the Hot Seat?
There are many factors in determining how often you'll be in the Hot Seat in any mastermind group. It's usually defined by the Facilitator and the structure created for the group. What you need to think about when you're joining a mastermind group is this: The Hot Seat is the power point of the group and where the real value to you lies. You want to have a Hot Seat on a regular basis. Groups that allow members to be in a Hot Seat monthly mean you benefit from the wisdom of group members a lot. If a mastermind group allows you only one Hot Seat a year, you might reconsider joining it. Talk to the Facilitator if you have any questions.
What if I'm Not in the Hot Seat This Meeting?
The great thing about mastermind groups is they're a collaborative experience. While you may not get your exact question answered during a meeting, you'll still learn from other members. As business owners, members are likely to have similar challenges even when in different industries. By listening and helping others, you might just find you're getting answers and ideas for your own challenges.
When you're ready to take your business to the next level, join a mastermind group and enjoy all of the benefits the Hot Seat and your group have to offer.
