SEC Staff Issues Interpretations on New Executive Compensation Disclosure Rules
Yesterday, the Division of Corporation Finance ("Staff") at the Securities and Exchange Commission issued 18 pages of interpretations on its new executive and director compensation disclosure rules, which are applicable for 2007 proxy filings by companies with fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2006. The interpretations are in two parts: a series of questions and answers on common interpretive questions that have arisen under the new rules, and a series of interpretations that largely reaffirm and/or update prior Staff "telephone interpretations" that were originally issued under the former executive compensation disclosure rules. The format of the interpretations reflect the Staff's intention to periodically provide additional interpretive guidance. The interpretations are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/execcomp402interp.htm.
On the whole, the interpretations provide helpful advice that generally reinforces a plain-English reading of the rules and does not set traps for the unwary. A number of the points covered in the interpretations are addressed below.
Performance-Based Arrangements
The Staff reiterated the standards for reporting performance-based payments in the Summary Compensation Table as "non-equity incentive plan compensation" instead of as "bonuses." The amounts must be provided under an arrangement that is not subject to SFAS 123(R) and that is "intended to serve as incentive for performance," the performance standards must be communicated in advance to the executive and the outcome must be "substantially uncertain" at the time the performance target is established. Amounts paid under arrangements that satisfy these criteria are reportable as "non-equity incentive plan compensation" even if negative discretion is used to determine the amount actually paid. If discretion is used to increase the amount paid above the amount that otherwise would be determined through operation of the performance standards, the increase is reported in the "bonus" column.
In the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, it is not necessary to include "threshold" column for arrangements that do not have a theoretical minimum benefit above zero or $1, and it is not necessary to include a "maximum" column for arrangements that do not have an actual cap on payments.
Equity Awards
The Staff confirmed that equity awards granted in one fiscal year based upon performance during the prior fiscal year or as part of the prior year's bonus are not included in the Summary Compensation Table and are not required to be reported in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for the fiscal year unless the SFAS 123(R) measurement date for the awards occurred in the prior fiscal year. However, these types of awards should be discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis to the extent material to understanding compensation for the covered fiscal year.
To the extent material, the timing of equity awards in addition to stock options should be discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
The Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table should report the "gross" number of shares subject to stock appreciation rights and net-settled options that were exercised during the year and the "gross" number of shares subject to restricted stock awards that vested during the year, not just the "net" number of shares actually issued to an executive.
Unvested dividend-equivalent accruals and other in-kind earnings on stock awards should be included in the number of shares reported in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table.
The Staff confirmed that amounts paid or distributed under tax-qualified and non-qualified deferred compensation plans are not reportable in the Summary Compensation Table.
The Staff confirmed a long-standing interpretation that earnings accrued under non-qualified "excess" deferred compensation plans are not reported in the Summary Compensation Table as "above-market or preferential earnings" if they mirror the performance of investment alternatives available under a qualified plan. While this interpretation states that it may not be available for other types of non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements such as SERPs and "top hat" plans that do not operate in tandem with a tax-qualified plan, this caveat also was contained in the Staff's telephone interpretations under its former executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, we believe that this interpretation is available for deferred compensation returns that exactly track company stock-equivalent returns or returns available under publicly available and externally managed investment funds such as mutual funds.
The Staff stated that "zero-cost" benefits (for example, where an executive fully reimburses the company for the cost of the benefit) are not treated as perquisites and therefore are not reportable.
Pension Calculations
The Staff confirmed an interpretation – not readily apparent under the rules – that the actuarial present value of an executive's accumulated pension benefit reported in the Pension Benefits Table should be based upon the amounts payable at the earliest age at which the executive can retire without a reduction in his or her benefits, regardless of whether a different "normal" retirement age is stated in the plan.
Directors Compensation
Compensation should be reported in the Director Compensation Table for each non-executive director who served at any time during the covered fiscal year.
Severance Benefits
As noted above, the Staff also continues to address interpretive issues in other forums. Recently, a senior member of the Staff stated on a webcast that severance benefits should be considered "accrued" and therefore reportable as "all other compensation" in the Summary Compensation Table only if their payment is not subject to any further conditions other than the passage of time. In contrast, payments that are contingent upon a terminated executive providing further services or not competing against the company are not treated as "accrued."
While companies will continue to encounter questions as they prepare disclosures under the new rules, these interpretations and other efforts by the Staff are helping to promote clear, uniform and appropriate disclosures.

This super cute Free Printable Valentine makes creating Valentine's for a class a snap! Some boxes of crayons, some scissors and you're done!
Hey friends!! I'm so pumped to be here today to share with you a non food goodie! I know you are used to sweets and easy snacks from me, but today it's one of my other obsessions! Printables!
I think I'm most proud of myself as a mom when I'm super punny. When I feed my kids? Eh, anyone can do that. When I read them lots of stories? Nah, not so much. When I give them tons of snuggles and make them feel loved? I mean, that's okay . . . .
But really, punny = winning.
And is there a better time to be punny for your kids than at Valentine's Day? I think not. The possibilities are seriously endless. Beginning in early January I like to just roam the aisles of Target and look for punny inspiration.
These ones were the winner with my kiddo last year. And these ones weren't quite punny enough.
These Crayon Free Valentine Printables will probably be a dud for him too, but they will totally be a winner with my daughter, because hearts. And rainbows.
Didn't you know? Rainbows = winning too.
These are so easy! Just print out the download here (or click on the picture below and then print). Cut them out, use a little double sided tape on a box of crayons, and you're done! Super cute Valentine's that don't even involve candy.
Be sure to check out some of my other Valentine printables!
Thank you. I woke up 10 minutes ago to discover all the Valentine's had mysteriously been eaten overnight. You have saved the day!
Hi ! I love the " You color my world" labels! I actually bought 2″x4″ mailing labels to print them on, is there any way you could help adjust them for me? Or maybe tell me how I can adjust them, since they are a PDF!

Typical sessions are 50 minutes, but special requests will be considered and accommodated when possible. Pricing varies based on session length and type of massage (See Price List). We encourage our guests to integrate massage into their wellness routine to live well.
This is the signature massage at CÜR Salt Spa. Our Wellness Massage Specialist utilizes warm Himalayan salt stones to sooth sore muscles and promote relaxation.
Swedish massage is the best-known type of bodywork performed today and one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
A study conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and published in The New York Times, found that volunteers who received a 45-minute Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress as well as a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol. Volunteers also had increases in the number of white blood cells that are part of the immune system, and a boost in the immune cells that may help fight colds and the flu.
CÜR Salt Spa takes Swedish Massage to greater levels of relaxation and detoxification by incorporating Himalayan salt and dōTERRA essential oils into the treatment. Ask your Wellness Massage Specialist for recommendations on which products to integrate in order to maximize the benefits of your experience.
PRENATAL MASSASGE is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. The gentle, noninvasive approach of prenatal massage can ease discomfort associated with pregnancy, help the mother-to-be prepare for labor and give her nurturing emotional support.
CÜR Salt Spa takes Prenatal Massage to greater levels of relaxation and detoxification by incorporating Himalayan salt and dōTERRA essential oils into the treatment. Ask your Wellness Massage Specialist for recommendations on which products to integrate in order to maximize the benefits of your experience for you and your baby.
The goal of SPORTS MASSAGE is to maximize athletic performance. Athletes in different sports will concentrate the massage on different parts of the body.
Post-event massage helps speed the athlete's recovery time and alleviates pulls, strains, and soreness. Small amounts of swelling occur in the muscle because of tiny tears. Post-event sports massage helps reduce the swelling caused by microtraumas; loosens tired, stiff muscles; helps maintain flexibility; promotes blood flow to the muscle to remove lactic acid and waste build-up; and reduces cramping.
Maintenance massage increases the flow of blood and nutrients to the muscles. It also keeps the tissues loose so that different layers of muscle slide easily over each other. Maintenance sports massage also helps reduce the development of scar tissue while increasing flexibility and range of motion.

Ask your Wellness Massage Specialist for recommendations on which products to integrate in order to maximize the benefits of your experience.
Deep tissues massage is likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. Guests should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much.
It's important to drink a lot of water after a deep tissue massage to help flush lactic acid out of the tissues to avoid soreness the next day.

For maximum fun afloat, there's nothing like a YAM SPORT. Ideal for camping trips, water sports, family holidays, lake cruises or just exploring the coastline.
Because these tough, sporty inflatables are also smart and stylish, they're a great choice as the tender to a larger boat, whether sailing yacht or power cruiser. From the smallest 240S up to the highly capable 380S, these boats handle easily and are designed for more serious work too.
So if you're looking for a boat that's easy to manoeuvre and will tackle family adventures with ease – towing donuts and other toys – yet be equally at home as a stable fishing, diving or work boat, then a YAM Sport is made for you.
Yamaha outboards are renowned for their turnkey reliability and YAM inflatables are designed to be the perfect match. With a huge range of Yamaha outboards to choose from, it's easy to find the perfect combination of engine and inflatable.
For maximum strength and good looks, The YAM 230B is constructed using the latest generation 1100 DECITEX PVC material, with all seams and joints glue-bonded for optimum watertightness and safety. The result is a smart, clean exterior surface that is highly resistant to abrasion, salt water and sunlight.
A cleverly designed air baffle system is incorporated into the hull tubes of all YAM inflatables. This not only helps to keep the individual chambers completely sealed for safety, it also helps maintain and equalise air pressure throughout the tube. Amongst other things, this also allows your boat to absorb minor impacts without major problems.
In addition to safety features like strong, secure grab-handles, seat patches, D-rings, lifting eyes and other fittings, comfort is also a top priority. Our ingenious high-quality air valve is a good example – exceptionally reliable and airtight, it's easy to operate and is flush with the surface of the tube, preventing snagging or discomfort.
Every YAM comes with everything needed for instant boating enjoyment. The strong carrying bag is convenient for stowing your YAM in a car boot or on a roof rack – and the floors, seats and fittings are all very simple to install. A powerful air pump is also supplied, so your YAM will be ready to go in a matter of minutes.
All YAM Sport models use a stable V-hull configuration, providing not only great rigidity and superb directional control at speed, but also precise handling at slow speed. Tough, scratch-resistant rigid floors are a standard fitting – as well as a range of other practical features, such as neat oar-stowage facilities and strong lifting eyes.

Kang So Yeon And Cha Hyun Seung Shares Their Thoughts About Appearing In "Single's Inferno" If Season 2 Happens
February 22, 2022 February 22, 2022 - by sakura
Kang So Yeon and Cha Hyun Seung of 'Single's Inferno' said they had no intention of appearing in season 2.
On February 18, Kang So Yeon uploaded a video titled "Single's Inferno Cha Hyun Seung and Kang So Yeon's workout episode finally released" on her YouTube channel 'Against Soyeon'.
In the published video, Kang So Yeon met Cha Hyun Seung and prepared a 5-minute couple workout challenge. Couples exercises included clapping and double push-ups, while other exercises included jumping lunges, mountain climbers, burpees, and jumping squats.
First, Kang So Yeon, who decided to do a so-called 'clapping exercise', said, "I will do one set of 15, a total of three sets." When she started exercising, she said to Cha Hyun Seung, "You don't look having difficulties at all," and she was amazed, and Cha Hyun Seung laughed, saying, "It's hard for me too."
The second movement was a double push-up, and Kang So Yeon said, "I'm going to do one set of five, a total of three sets." When Cha Hyun Seung finished 5, Kang So Yeon cheered, saying, "It's crazy," and Cha Hyun Seung said, " I wonder if your sister also works out."
Cha Hyun Seung said, "This is a different feeling from the bench press. The bench press just needs to be pushed, but the double push-up is harder than it is difficult because you have to hold it to the center. It feels like I'm doing it on water,".
The jumping lunge consisted of one set of 30 seconds, a total of three sets, and Kang So Yeon was embarrassed, saying, "Time is running out. It makes no sense that 30 seconds is this long. Mountain climber, burpees, and jumping squats also consisted of one set of 30 seconds, a total of three sets".
After all the workouts, Kang So Yeon said, "Didn't we have a relationship like this again because of 'Single's Inferno'?" and had a Q&A time with Cha Hyun Seung.
The first question asked about the biggest change after the airing of 'Single's Inferno', and Kang So-yeon mentioned his gaze and Cha Hyun Seung mentioned the number of SNS followers. Cha Hyun Seung said, "I have no other followers. I am living the same life."
Kang So Yeon said, "After 'Single's Inferno', the number of those who looked at my potential has grown much higher."
Cha Hyun Seung expressed his sympathy and said, "There are things that are a little disappointing. I am working hard the same way, but after 'Single's Inferno', the response is great, so I am grateful, but there are also things that are bitter."
In addition, Cha Hyun Seung and Kang So Yeon agreed, saying, "I have no idea," when asked if they would like to appear if 'Single's Inferno' will have season 2. Cha Hyun Seung said, "It's good to get to know good people, but it's difficult because the situation changes so quickly. The host is thinking."

Portland Opera Announces 2018/19 Season
Portland, OR. Portland Opera is currently staging Gounod's Faust with performances June 8th, 10th, 14th, and 16th. When season 55 kicks off in November, it will include two classics, an opera with a transgender heroine, and a rarely performed piece by a well-known composer. The season will launch Verdi's romance La Traviata. In March, Portland Opera will present Laura Kaminsky's coming-of-age story, As One, where two voices, a mezzo-soprano and a baritone, share the role of the transgender heroine Hannah. The season will continue in the spring with the company's annual Big Night concert and vibrant production of Rossini's great Il Barbiere di Siviglia. In July, the company will present Mozart's La Finta Giardiniera for the first time, followed by the company premiere of Philip Glass's exploration of the nature of justice, In the Penal Colony, based on Franz Kafka's short story.
In addition to mainstage programming, Portland Opera will host five unique evenings at the Hampton Opera Center, building on the company's Vino e Voce series. Each performance will feature intimate performances by 2018/19 season artists, al fresco dining, and drinks overlooking the Willamette River.
"Each opera in the 2018/19 season brings us on a journey – whether that journey is across land, into the arms of love, or an internal journey into self-acceptance and belonging," says General Director Christopher Mattaliano. "These stories inspire us time and time again. We can't wait to share these moments with the Portland community."
Portland Opera 2018/2019 Season
La Traviata – Giuseppe Verdi
Four performances: November 2, 4 (matinee), 8, 10, 2018
Keller Auditorium, 222 SW Clay Street
Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.
Violetta Valéry Aurelia Florian
Alfredo Germont Jonathan Boyd
Giorgio Germont Weston Hurt
Flora Camille Sherman
Doctor Damien Geter
Marquis Geoffrey Schellenberg
Gastone David Warner
Annina Helen Huang
Conductor Christopher Larkin
Director Elise Sandell
A crown jewel of grand opera, La Traviata tells the story of the brilliant and beautiful Parisian courtesan Violetta Valéry as she falls in love with Alfredo Germont. Haunted by her reputation and illness, Violetta navigates sexual politics and confronts societal expectations as she braves a broken heart.
Classic sets and costumes honor tradition in this production. Romanian soprano Aurelia Florian, whose performance of Violetta at the San Francisco Opera was called "incandescent" by the San Francisco Chronicle, makes her Portland Opera debut as our tour de force heroine. Tenor Jonathan Boyd, who sings the title role in this season's production of Faust, returns to the company as Alfredo.
"At the center of the Parisian Demimonde of the 19th century is one of opera's most beloved heroines, Violetta Valéry," says stage director Elise Sandell. "She lives in a world of luxurious and flagrant hedonism…and so will we in the audience while watching the opera! She's a woman with intelligence and heart, who seems to have everything a woman could want: riches, popularity, and men to dote on her. She dares to give it all up to live a life of real love with Alfredo, who sees only her. This is a story we love to live over and over again…and when we stay true to the characters and the music, it never disappoints!"
As One – Laura Kaminsky
A Chamber Opera for Two Voices and String Quartet
Music and concept by Laura Kaminsky
Libretto by Mark Campbell and Kimberly Reed
Five performances: March 22, 24 (matinee), 26, 28, 30, 2019
Newmark Theatre, 1111 SE Broadway Ave.
Sung in English with English supertitles projected above the stage.
Hannah after Hannah S. Penn
Hannah before Alexander Elliott
Director, Conductor,
Set & Costume Designer Andreas Mitisek
In this stunning coming-of-age story, two voices—a mezzo-soprano and a baritone—share the role of our transgender heroine Hannah as she endeavors to resolve the discord between herself and the outside world. Celebrated as one of the most important new works in the world of opera, Hannah's story sheds light on universal truths of self-love and identity.
This chamber opera incorporates film, directed and created by Kimberly Reed. Former Portland Opera Resident Artists Hannah Penn and Alexander Elliott sing the roles of Hannah. Conductor, director, and designer Andreas Mitisek makes his Portland Opera debut with this production.
As One was commissioned and developed by American Opera Projects, a nonprofit organization that has produced over 30 world premiere operas. The piece premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2014, and in the 2016/17 season it was the 14th most produced opera in the country, surpassing Turandot and Il Barbiere di Siviglia. The New York Classical Review says of the piece "As One~is everything that we hope for in contemporary opera: topical, poignant, daring, and beautifully written."
"As One is an essential human story about~the journey of becoming~One,~Whole,~True.~We take this journey like every other human, unlike every other human," says stage director Andreas Mitisek. "That is the power of the arts~–~to make us think and reflect, to open~new doors into worlds we didn't know,~to remind us of what we each have to offer, and what we all have in common; to help us understand our history and imagine our future; to give us hope in the moments of struggle; and to bring us~together when nothing else will."
Big Night 2019
Portland Opera's annual Big Night concert is a one-night-only celebration of some of the most beautiful music ever composed. In 2019, the concert will feature a new addition – a special reveal of the 2019/20 season.
This performance will feature mezzo-soprano Aleksandra Romano, baritone John Moore, tenor Matthew Grills, the 2018/19 Portland Resident Artists, and the Portland Opera Orchestra and Chorus, led by Music Director George Manahan. General Director Christopher Mattaliano will be the host of the evening.
Il Barbiere di Siviglia – Gioachino Rossini
Four performances: June 7, 9 (matinee), 13, 15, 2019
Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage
Figaro John Moore
Count Almaviva Jack Swanson
Rosina Aleksandra Romano
Dr. Bartolo Eduardo Chama
Don Basilio Adam Lau
Berta Antonia Tamer
Conductor George Manahan
Director Christopher Mattaliano
Count Almaviva has fallen for the charming Rosina and enlists the help of the town barber Figaro to assist in winning her affection. Together they try to outwit her horrible guardian, Dr. Bartolo, who also vies for her hand. Classic shenanigans and twists promise to delight audiences both young and young at heart in one of the greatest comic operas of all time.
Christopher Mattaliano's colorful and nostalgic production is a fun-filled love letter to opera's brilliant past. The piece stars Metropolitan Opera baritone John Moore as the scheming barber, mezzo-soprano Aleksandra Romano, last seen at Portland Opera as Isabella in The Italian Girl in Algiers, as Rosina, and Jack Swanson as Count Almaviva.
"This production of The Barber of Seville is high energy and high voltage," says stage director Christopher Mattaliano. "We're embracing the conventions of opera, which can be a ridiculous art form, and not apologizing for it. Rossini's piece sparkles, and I can't wait to bring this production of one of the most popular opera buffas back to the stage."
La Finta Giardiniera – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Six performances: July 12, 14 (matinee), 18, 20, 24, 27, 2019
Newmark Theatre, 1111 SW Broadway Avenue
Sandrina Lindsay Ohse
Count Belfiore Thomas Cilluffo
Podesta Mark A. Thomsen
Arminda Antonia Tamer
Ramiro Camille Sherman
Serpetta Helen Huang
Nardo Geoffrey Schellenberg
Director Chas Rader-Shieber
Violante goes into hiding as "the disguised gardener" at the local Mayor's country estate after escaping her abusive lover, Count Belfiore. As she chooses forgiveness and to love again, a dizzying cast of characters in disguise, enamored, and in chaos come together in this seriocomic account of the very complex nature of the human heart.
Combining buoyant comedy with drama and sublime music, this opera from 1775 showcases everything we love about Mozart's work. Lindsay Ohse returns to Portland Opera as the title character in Chas Rader-Shieber's inspired new production.
"The story of La Finta Giardiniera tells typically Mozartian emotional truths, even in the midst of comic mayhem and romantic confusion," says stage director Chas Rader-Shieber. "With ideas straight out of the Age of Enlightenment, Mozart valiantly attempts to create order out of the chaos of love; a love that is messy and silly and glorious and profound. Both the aristocracy and their servants join in "carving topiary out of the weeds", in a bittersweet search for calming reason in the wild landscape of passion."
In the Penal Colony – Philip Glass
Eight performances: July 26, 28 (matinee), 30, August 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 2019
The Gregory K. and Mary Chomenko Hinckley Studio Theatre at the Hampton Opera Center, 211 SE Caruthers Street
Sung in English with English supertitles projected above the stage
The Visitor Martin Bakari
The Officer Ryan Thorn
Conductor Nicholas Fox
Director Jerry Mouawad
A visitor is invited to a penal colony to observe the execution of a prisoner at the hands of a nightmarish machine. The colony's officer extols the virtues of the apparatus, which tortures as it kills, in this piece that the New York Times calls a "surreal exploration of injustice." As the future of the institution is questioned, the visitor considers the consequences of meddling, and the officer grows more desperate to preserve the system.
Featuring a string quintet, this new production is directed and devised by Jerry Mouawad of Imago Theatre, who directed Portland Opera's 2017 production of The Difficulty of Crossing a Field and The Little Match Girl Passion. Baritone Ryan Thorn and tenor Martin Bakari both return to Portland Opera as the Officer and Visitor.
In the Penal Colony is based on Franz Kafka's short story by the same name. Librettist Rudy Wurlitzer adapted the piece for opera, and ACT Theatre in Seattle commissioned the work for its premiere in 2000.
"The short story by Kafka is most disturbing and graphic – capital punishment and extreme torture that spits out a highly questionable redemption," says stage director Jerry Mouawad. "Kafka seems to ask us poignant questions – is humankind in a tailspin, an endless cycle? Does darkness reign until light emerges, only long enough until we deem it necessary that darkness return again?"

Zenph Re-Performance: Rachman...
Zenph Re-Performance: Rachmaninov, Gould, Tatum
Beginning in 2007, audio software pioneers Zenph Studios began collaborating with Sony Masterworks to bring classic, but poorly recorded piano recordings from yesteryear into the modern digital age. The idea was to capture the full range of musical performance nuance for each note – volume, tempo, articulation, pedal action, etc. – using sophisticated computer encoding, and then to re-record the performance as "played" by a comparable acoustic grand piano fitted with Zenph reading computers and hardware. The result is a Zenph Re-Performance®, bringing state-of the art fidelity to timeless interpretations by the great pianists of the past. The first two collaborations, Glenn Gould's historic 1955 recording of the Goldberg Variations (2007) and a 1949 live concert of jazz wizard Art Tatum at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, as Piano Starts Here (2008) received rave reviews. Now the pair presents Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff, based on a set of recordings made by the great composer/pianist between 1921 and 1942 of five original works – including the famed Prelude in C#-, Op.3, No.2.
Classical Archives is pleased to offer a review of all three recordings, presenting each album in its entirety, along with a brief description of the processes involved. In addition, the Rachmaninov and Gould presentations are adorned with a fascinating set of select comparative recordings – both between the Zenph Re-Performances® and the original recordings, as well as between the interpretations of these two piano titans and those of other great pianists in our collection. Enjoy!!

Rel. 22 Sep 2009
The most recent addition to the Zenph-Sony partnership is the album Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff, featuring a set of thirteen tracks, recorded between 1921 and 1942, of his original compositions and transcriptions – including such favorites as his Prelude in C#-, Op.3, No.2, and the arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumble-Bee. For this Re-Performance®, Zenph fitted their digital software to a 1909 Steinway D acoustic grand powered by the SE reproducing system, implemented by Richard Shepherd of Live Performance, Inc. This 2009 release marks the 100th Anniversary of Rachmaninov's US recital debut. As with the other two recordings, the Sony release presents the full album program two times, the first in standard (redbook) stereo, and the second in "binaural stereo", re-creating the aural experience that the pianists themselves might have had.
Classical Archives presents the complete new Sony Masterworks release, along with several fascinating comparative recordings. We first present comparisons between Zenph Re-Performances® and the original recordings (re-mastered in 1989) on three tracks: Rachmaninov's Prelude in C#-, Op.3, No.2, and his arrangements of Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumble-Bee and Kreisler's Liebesleid; we then offer comparative recordings of Rachmaninov's performances and those of other famed pianist on two tracks: Etude tableau, Op. 33, No.2 (Vladimir Horowitz) and Moment musicaux, Op.16, No.2 (Vladimir Ashkenazy). Finally, we present an excerpt from the liner notes by Max Harrison, author of Rachmaninoff: Life, Works, Recordings.
Liner Notes (excerpt)
Besides being a great composer, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) was also a marvelously accomplished and original performer on the piano, an instrument which has never lacked outstanding players. He cut gramophone recordings between 1919 and 1942, a period during which many improvements were made in the quality of recorded sound. Yet by twenty-first century standards Rachmaninoff's work for the gramophone sounds relatively primitive, thin and lacking the full resonance of which the piano is capable. These Zenph re-performances, which completely eliminate the technological limitations of the past, use computerized captures of attacks, key-speeds, pitches, durations, plus interpretative nuances including those added by Rachmaninoff's always subtle pedaling. And all this is done on a 1909 Steinway concert grand in optimum condition such as the composer always played himself.
These re-performances are programmed in the order of their original recording. Indeed the sequence begins and ends with Rachmaninoff's paraphrases of items by his friend Fritz Kreisler, "Liebesleid" and "Liebesfreud." These are in both pianistic and harmonic terms elaborate, sophisticated settings of what initially were simple tuneful encore pieces. The perfumed luxuriance of such performances immediately establishes what an extraordinary pianist Rachmaninoff was and each gives a bewitching demonstration of the real meaning of rubato.

Glenn Gould in Re-Performance
Bach: Goldberg Variations – Zenph Re-Performance
Rel. 29 May 2007
The first undertaking in the Zenph-Sony Masterworks collaboration was an ambitious one: the iconic 1955 recording of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations by the enigmatic piano legend Glenn Gould. Gould's original Columbia recording has always been a big seller, and continuously in print, but as the engineers at Zenph noted, "it was locked forever in monoaural sound." It was this sonic limitation on such a historically important recording that motivated the engineers at Zenph to apply their unique technology to the original recording, and first present it to the world. The debut took place on September 26, 2006 in a broadcast on Canada's CBC radio, before a live audience – with a 9-foot Yamaha Disklavier Pro piano, expertly voiced by Marc Wienert to match the original 1955 recording; the same day the Re-Performed Goldberg was recorded for Sony Masterworks by an expert team of engineers and producers. The results were most favorably reviewed, such as in Audiophile Voice: "I cannot over recommend this recording too highly."
Classical Archives presents the complete 2007 Sony Masterworks release, Glenn Gould in Re-Performance, again with several fascinating comparative recordings. We first present comparisons between Zenph Re-Performances® and the original 1955 Columbia recordings on three tracks: the Aria, Variation 1 and Variations 5; we then offer comparative recordings of Variation 7 (Murray Perahia), Variation 8 (Jenö Jandó), and Variation 9 (Alexis Weissenberg). Finally, we present an excerpt from the liner notes by Kevin Bazzana, author of several books on Gould, including Wondrous Strange: The Life and Art of Glenn Gould.
This disc, the product of cutting-edge musical hardware and software and the most sophisticated modern recording techniques, offers something at once tantalizing and startling: a new recording by Glenn Gould, made twenty-four years after his death: his 1955 interpretation of Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations. That album, released in January 1956, was a watershed in Gould's career, and it offered a dazzling new kind of Bach playing on the piano – probing, nuanced, uncommonly transparent, but also thrillingly virtuosic, rhythmically dynamic, tonally ravishing. The reviews mostly ranged from enthusiastic to awestruck; critics pronounced Gould a genius, a Wunderkind, one of the greatest and most promising pianists of his generation, even the greatest. The album became a bestseller – it made a once esoteric harpsichord piece something like a household word – and has never been out of print. The hype surrounding its release, focused on Gould's eccentric personality as well as his pianism, unleashed a storm of publicity in the spring of 1956 that made him an international celebrity, the most talked about and photographed young classical artist of the day.
But the Goldberg album was also trapped in the sound-world of the 1950s. Walker calls it "one of the last great mono recordings," and it offered an irresistible challenge: Zenph could show off its process no better than by making a convincing re-performance from a familiar and admired interpretation by a pianist renowned for precise finger work and fussy recording standards. The results had a splashy début in a live re-performance at Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, on September 25, 2006 – what would have been Gould's seventy-fourth birthday. The spectacle of an invisible Gould immaculately reproducing his most famous interpretation on stage "made the hair just stand up on your arms," Walker says, and it deeply impressed – and moved – some of Gould's friends and colleagues. The present recording was also made at Glenn Gould Studio, shortly thereafter, with Gould's former tuner, Verne Edquist, consulting on the preparation of the piano.

Classical Archives currently does not explicitly process Jazz (though admittedly there are a number of jazz recordings that have made their way to the site). That time will come, however, as plans are in the works for us to handle Jazz, Film music, Broadway, and World music – in the same conscientious and thorough manner in which we handle Classical; so stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, we are pleased to offer, as a special treat, the second of the three Zenph / Sony releases: a Re-Performance® of a live 1949 concert by jazz phenomenon Art Tatum at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. As with the other two recordings, the engineers and technicians at Zenph digitally recreated every nuance of Tatum's nearly un-human interpretations of mainly jazz standards, and then "re-recorded" them upon a 9-foot Yamaha grand, fitted with Disklavier Pro and other technology, and voiced to match the original piano by Marc Wienert using the high fidelity of modern recording.
The Zenph Re- Performance® was recorded before a live audience at the Shrine Auditorium on Sep. 23, 2007, and the resulting Sony release in 2008 was universally hailed by jazz critics. Tatum dazzles with a collection of jazz standards (such as Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me", Kern's "Yesterdays", Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady", and W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues", as well as an original number, "Tatum Pole Boogie"; he even offers one to the classical lover, with a stunning jazz adaptation of Dvořák's Humoresque in Gb (Op.101, No.7) – as you've never heard it before! There are no comparative recordings available for this CD (and who could compare to Tatum?), but we do have an excerpt from the liner notes by author and jazz musician Spider Robinson.
For the benefit of those unfamiliar with his work, Art Tatum was a creature from another galaxy altogether, who from October 13, 1909 to November 5, 1956 lived here on earth disguised as a jazz pianist – an impersonation given away only by the stunning speed, dexterity and musicality with which he played, far beyond the capabilities of a normal human nervous system. (The biographical details of his human persona are easily found on the Web at zenph.com/Tatum – or just ask any piano player.) His pianistic prowess has not been exceeded to this day, and has been equaled only occasionally by prodigies like Oscar Peterson. He has been called the greatest instrumentalist on any instrument in any musical genre by numerous authorities including Mssrs. Horowitz, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Rubinstein, Basie, Peterson, Charles and Barron.
But while Tatum's legendary performances are still unequalled, the recording and playback technology of his time have long since been left in the dust. Anyone with a modern laptop can probably make better recordings, and certainly listen to them. Enter Zenph Studios. As with their acclaimed 2006 re-performance of Glenn Gould's The Goldberg Variations, they used great software, great skill and keen musical sense to convert the original performance into a digital high-resolution MIDI document which perfectly mimics the mechanical details of the performance itself: tempo, attack, touch and so on. While they were at it, they retroactively repaired some tiny errors caused by tape transcription to vinyl – incorrect speed, missing segments and the like. Then they used that MIDI file to instruct a Yamaha Disklavier Pro concert grand piano, producing a re-performance that is different from the original vinyl release only in its superior sonic fidelity and dynamic range, and in its slightly more accurate account of what Tatum actually played that night of April 2, 1949.

So, the time might be changed to noon. 1 Mgr already booked ice and did not let anyone know. We are skating. Time is either 11am or 12:15. I will know by the end of the week. If I can book another Rink for the same price I am going to do that.


Lucie Rydlova is located in Chelsea, London and sells some of the most exquisite crystal from leading brands such as Baccarat and Lalique.
Casa Forma transformed the boutique into a truly dramatic retail space. The concept behind the interior design of the space was to create a dark back drop in order for the crystal accessories to be showcased at their best. Bespoke vitrines and joinery were designed to host some of the most fine and expensive vases, candelabras and crystal ware. Lighting was a key factor in creating ambiance, and this was achieved with the use of antique mirrors and silver leaf finishes.

7 keys to an effective IT automation strategy
TBM success stories: Improving the value of IT
CIOs are turning to financial analytics to automate technology business management (TBM), a framework for aligning the value of IT services with the cost to produce them.
By Clint Boulton
Senior Writer, CIO | PT

CIOs have long struggled to quantify the value of IT services relative to production costs, a financial black box that sows distrust between the tech department and business divisions. As IT implements additional digital capabilities in service of the business, this disconnect is widening, inspiring more CIOs to embrace technology business management (TBM), which largely comprises financial management software aimed at documenting the value of IT services.
TBM isn't new. For years, IT staffs have crafted spreadsheets to chart the time saved and cost to produce an IT service. If a business peer asks for the information, CIOs share the corresponding spreadsheet. But the share-a-spreadsheet model is hardly sustainable in an era where business executives expect to view metrics and charts on a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Spending on IT financial management (ITFM) tools is expected to grow at an estimated 19 percent compound annual growth rate over the next five years, according to researcher Gartner. But Apptio, the undisputed 800-pound gorilla in a market that includes Nicus Software, ServiceNow and Cloudyn, boasts dozens of large enterprises.
The company, recently acquired by Vista Equity Partners, offers a SaaS solution that automates TBM, eliminating the onerous task of typing financial metrics into a spreadsheet. The software has helped IT leaders eliminate redundant applications and other legacy tools that have accrued over years, shaving hundreds of millions of dollars in sunk costs.

Stray Fawn Studio
How a free demo got our game funded
In November 2017 we launched a Kickstarter campaign for our game Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor. The campaign was successful and raised $75'000. Our game didn't have a community before the Kickstarter. It all came down to finding an audience and building up a fanbase on the fly. Luckily, this worked out thanks to a free demo of the game. I'd like to share insights on how we got the word out via social media and social news sites, what role influencers played for the campaign and how we built up 50'000 newsletter subscriptions in the process.
Philomena Schwab is a game designer from Zurich, Switzerland. She co-founded Stray Fawn Studio together with Micha Stettler. The indie game studio recently released its first game, Niche - a genetics survival game and is now developing its second game Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor. Philomena wrote her master thesis about community building for indie game developers and founded the nature gamedev collective Playful Oasis. As a chair member of the Swiss Game Developers association she helps her local game industry grow.


Fifteen countries have entered. Yesterday and Today are qualifying days for the eight-country Knock-Out, which will be played over the weekend.
Teams consist of three players: two play Association Croquet and one plays Golf croquet.
Highlight of the first round was the Scotland v Austria match. Klaus Gollhofer won the Golf Croquet for Austria and Bruce Rannie won an Association Croquet for Scotland. In the third game David Magee (Scotland) pegged out one of his balls and one of the opponents balls. But Leopold Walderdorf played well to reduce the deficit. He was in front of Rover with David's ball for the peg. David played an excellent shot from near the boundary to a wired position between penult and the peg and about 3 yards from the peg. Leopold ran Rover but the hoop prevented a shot at ball or peg. He jumped Rover but narrowly missed the peg. David finished to secure victory for Scotland by the narrowest of margins.
An interesting result from the Switzerland vs. Norway match was the Golf Croquet which Birger Stene won for Norway 0-7 7-5 7-6.

As North America's northernmost large metropolis, Edmonton is a fascinating study in contrasts — a vibrant urban center in the heart of the wilderness. It's a city that's never been afraid to do things a little differently, as visitors discover through close encounters with free-roaming bison, a shopping mall that spans more than 48 city blocks, and a dynamic arts and culture scene that embraces more than 40 annual festivals, including the continent's biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is recognized as one of the best in the world.
Edmonton is a young city that loves any excuse to go out on the town, even in a snowstorm. And there's prime shopping, too. West Edmonton Mall is literally the size of a city and the Old Strathcona farmers market is famous for a reason. Edmonton embraces winter. There are iced pathways to skate around and castles made of icicles. Join some locals in skijoring. That's when people train their pet dogs to pull them around on skis. It's the next best thing to dog-sledding.

Good morning ... I had been prepared for weeks for Justice Anthony Kennedy to announce his retirement, but am still a little bit in shock that this is actually happening. His departure is just about the biggest thing that could possibly have happened in American politics, other than a war.
1 big thing: What Kennedy's retirement means for health care
Anthony Kennedy (on right) congratulates new Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. Photo: Eric Thayer/Getty Images
Kennedy's retirement from the Supreme Court will reverberate for decades — especially in the ongoing legal debate over abortion rights.
The big picture: Kennedy was a true swing vote on abortion rights, upholding the central premise of Roe v. Wade but allowing states to impose at least some restrictions on access to the procedure.
Kennedy will all but certainly be replaced with a more staunchly conservative jurist. And the court's existing bloc of four Republican nominees is already much more open to states' abortion restrictions than Kennedy was.
Threat level: We're a long way from Roe being overturned. The more immediate likelihood is that limits on the procedure will be upheld, and that red states will seize that opening to push the envelope on more restrictive policies.
Expect to see states pursue — and the court uphold — tighter regulation of abortion providers and tighter time limits on when the procedure can be performed.
If Roe is ultimately overturned, abortion would not automatically become illegal. The issue would return to the states — meaning it would likely be legal in blue states and illegal in red states.
What's next: Some Democrats are trying to tie the Supreme Court vacancy into their health care-focused midterms strategy, but that's a tough sell.
Whoever President Trump nominates, he or she will strenuously avoid taking a position on the latest Affordable Care Act lawsuit, or the Justice Department's decision to seek an end to protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
Supreme Court nominees never comment on active lawsuits they might have decide if they're confirmed.
Go deeper: Kennedy's complicated legacy.
2. HHS rejects Mass. plan to cut drug spending
The Trump administration yesterday rejected Massachusetts' proposal to exclude certain drugs from Medicaid coverage — an effort to lower spending on expensive brand-name products.
If Massachusetts wants to establish a formulary for prescription drugs — a list of which products are covered, which drug makers would have to negotiate their way onto — it would have to forego all the rebates it receives today from drug companies, the administration said.
That likely would end up costing the state more.
The other side: Law professors Nick Bagley and Rachel Sachs argued in April that, while the pharmaceutical industry likely would have challenged a Medicaid formulary in court, it probably wouldn't have won.
3. Senate panel talks health costs
The Senate health committee doesn't necessarily seem much closer to legislation to reduce health care costs, but members were at least seriously talking about the issue yesterday, Axios' Caitlin Owens reports.
What to watch: Chairman Lamar Alexander and Ranking Member Patty Murray both brought up issues with hospital billing practices — for example, situations where patients go to in-network hospitals but get billed for care from out-of-network physicians.
Price transparency and market competition (or the lack thereof) came up often, as well, and experts generally agree that these issues contribute to the private market's dysfunction.
If you don't know what a service costs, and you don't have any other options, that essentially allows the industry to set prices wherever it wants to, experts argued.
4. Home DNA tests solve more cold cases
In the weeks since a suspect in the Golden State Killer case was identified using data from commercial DNA kits, law enforcement has increasingly turned to the samples stored by GEDMatch to track down more suspects in unsolved cases, The New York Times reports.
How it works: In most of these cases, the suspects themselves never provided their own DNA to a testing company.
Forensic detectives match crime-scene DNA to commercial DNA banks to identify relatives — often distant cousins — then start building out a family tree, and then identify the most likely suspects from that family tree.
In one case, DNA matches had stumped the genealogy researcher working on the case. Per NYT:
"It was only when she considered the possibility of misattributed paternity — the person that public records said would have been the suspect's grandfather was not actually his grandfather — that everything began to fall into place."
"She could trace the suspect's ancestry back to his Native American great-great-grandparents on his father's side and follow the movement of the family
... Two brothers were then identified as people of interest because of their age and location at the time of the killing. After extracting DNA from a crumpled up napkin, police determined that [the suspect] was their guy.
🤔: "It's unclear if any of the cousins whose DNA helped lead to arrests have been notified that they played a role," the NYT notes. "Whether they should be told — and whose responsibility that would be — are among the many unresolved questions that have been raised with this new approach."

Immerse yourself in the world of Charles Ray
Published on 7 February 2022 in Exhibitions and Museums
In Paris, contemporary art is in the spotlight all year round. In addition to the experiences provided by the FIAC and the Art Paris Art Fair, various places in the capital are specially dedicated to this aspect of culture, such as the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the Bourse du Commerce, and especially the Centre Pompidou. From February 16th, 2022, your Platine Hotel team recommends that you check out a highly anticipated exhibition at the Pompidou, dedicated to the sculptor Charles Ray.
Charles Ray, enigmas of perception
A leading light in contemporary art, Charles Ray continues to prompt us to reflect on the meaning of sculpture and artistic representation in general. A true link between classical and even archaic sculpture and contemporary creation, he plays with our preconceived notions and perceptions. Immersed from a very early age in the world of art, he bases his artistic creation and vision on sculpture through the ages, with work that is full of meaning.
A journey and a dialogue
The exhibition at the Centre Pompidou aims for a dialogue between the sculptor and the museum, and between the sculptor and the visitor. Questions, surprises, and complexity arise from encounters with these challenging works. You are invited to walk among some fifty sculptures which reflect the development of Charles Ray's thought, and which create a landscape in which the visitor naturally finds his place. The body, like the mind, thus becomes engaged in another stimulating dialogue. There is no doubt that this unique exhibition will immerse you in the world of a complex and enigmatic artist, a key figure in contemporary art.
Charles Ray is one of the major creators in contemporary art but he lets his work do the talking. A visit to the Centre Pompidou exhibition during your stay at the Platine Hotel will bring you an exhilarating encounter with a creator's mind. You can see even more of Charles Ray's work at the Bourse du Commerce Pinault on the same dates.

Le subrécargue désigne, dans l'activité de transport maritime, une personne responsable qui représente à bord d'un navire soit le propriétaire de la cargaison, soit le chargeur, soit l'armateur, soit encore l'affréteur. Il s'agit d'un agent exerçant une ou plusieurs fonctions spécifiques, qui est embarqué en supplément de l'équipage, en quelque sorte un passager d'honneur qui n'a pas d'obligations régulières et définies au contraire des hommes d'équipage.

Explication étymologique et variantes
Le terme français soubrescart apparaît en 1704, provenant initialement de l'espagnol  attesté en 1666, littéralement « (l'homme) qui est chargé en plus » ou trivialement « celui qui est en surcharge », « le surnuméraire ». Le mot est dérivé du verbe  qui signifie « surcharger ». Notons que l'étymon latin du verbe espagnol est , doté du préfixe , qui peut simplement signifier « venir en sus».

La marine à voile a longtemps gardé le terme supercargue, équivalent du mot supercargo utilisé en anglais comme en néerlandais et en allemand.

Rôle du subrécargue
Cet agent embarqué représentait souvent les intérêts de l'armateur ou de l'affréteur. Il veillait à la gestion de la cargaison. Il désigne parfois celui qui s'occupe ou est chargé d'une partie spécifique de la cargaison. L'agent d'un armateur sur un bâtiment de commerce pouvait être aussi un administrateur ou un directeur de la comptabilité embarqué.

Marine marchande

Le subrécargue peut avoir autorité sur tout ce qui touche à la cargaison — le chargement, le saisissage, le suivi durant le voyage —, alors que le capitaine du navire se réserve la maîtrise de la navigation et de la gestion nautique du navire. Au temps de la marine marchande à voile, le subrécargue est généralement le n°2 dans la hiérarchie du bord. Cependant, à certaines époques — comme dans la marine hollandaise au  — le subrécargue (le koopman) est maître à bord et donne ses instructions au capitaine (le schipper).

Le poste de subrécargue disparaît de plus en plus, les communications par satellites permettant à l'affréteur et/ou à l'armateur d'être en permanence renseigné sur l'état de sa cargaison, et les agents maritimes représentant ses intérêts lors de l'escale.

Marine de pêche
Sur un bateau de pêche, le subrécargue est le capitaine de pêche, lorsqu'il existe également un capitaine de route. Le capitaine de pêche n'est en charge que des opérations de pêche. Il n'est pas obligatoirement titulaire d'un brevet de navigateur car il ne s'occupe pas de la conduite nautique, mais uniquement de la pêche qui est ici la cargaison.

Droit et devoir sur le navire
Le subrécargue possède en principe la délégation d'un donneur d'ordre ou de son employeur. Il apparaît aussi en fondé de pouvoir par l'armateur ou les chargeurs du navire.

Un subrécargue n'a aucune obligation de quart, de veille, d'appel... au contraire de l'équipage soumis à des lois et contraintes de labeur. Son statut s'apparentait et s'apparente à celui d'un passager d'honneur, recommandé au capitaine ou parfois supérieur (en grade ou en poste) à celui-ci.

Ces différences de statut sont à l'origine de l'expression ironique née dans la marine à voile « dormir comme un subrécargue », c'est-à-dire longuement et profondément, sans avoir à se soucier de l'heure du réveil.

Jerry Cahill has been awarded the prestigious Jacoby Angel Award from the United States Adult CF Association (USACFA) for being a person with CF who is making a difference in the lives of one or more people with or without CF. The award is named after Dr. Jack Jacoby who was a CF physician at the St. Vincent's CF Center in New York City for over 15 years from 1982-1997. Remarkably Dr. Jacoby had CF which gave him a unique understanding of the disease. Dr. Jacoby's patients felt he was not only an amazing physician but also an angel sent to them at their time of need. Dr. Jacoby always put the needs of others above his own needs and worked tirelessly to bring comfort and relief to his patients. He was the medical advisor for USACFA and wrote a medical column for CF Roundtable for many years. Jerry Cahill has followed in Dr. Jacoby's footsteps and helped many people with CF over the years.
After retiring from a successful career in the fashion industry, Jerry was looking for an organization that could use his talents and offer him the satisfaction of helping others. He started volunteering for the Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF). Soon he had helped to start the Boomer Esiason scholarship program and the BEF transplant expense fund which helps people financially who need to relocate for transplant. Jerry started his now famous Podcasts on a variety of topics that help people with CF cope with the challenges that living with CF present on a daily basis. He also started other BEF sponsored programs: CF Wind Sprints, Team Boomer and Club CF. Even when his health declined he did not waiver in his commitment to providing funds to people with CF for education and transplant, and in his efforts to educate the CF community.
Now, post lung transplant he continues in his volunteer endeavors with BEF. Jerry's latest project is a program called "You Cannot Fail" which encourages people with CF to exercise and lead full lives while taking care of themselves. He has authored two books in association with this project, "You Cannot Fail…You are the Hero of Your Own Story" and "Jerry the Boy Who Could not Fail". Jerry is an amazing man who follows in the footsteps of the awards namesake, Dr. Jack Jacoby, by dedicating himself to helping people with CF.
Past award winners include: Michelle Compton, Susan Burroughs, Robyn Petras and Pammie Post.
The three finalists for the 2013 award were Dr. Susie Baldwin, Joanne Schum and Brian Callanan.
It's so wonderful to hear about people helping others. I've been involved in the CF Foundation for over 38 years. My daughter is 41 and was diagnosed with CF when she was 2 1/2. I am extremely proud of my daughter and the hard work and hard life she has to endure. We will fight until we find a cure!


Gigi Hadid had a major fashion fail on the runway during the Anna Sui's Spring 2018 show at New York Fashion Week. Despite the severity of the wardrobe mishap, Gigi acted as though not a thing went wrong. The supermodel had to strut the catwalk in just one shoe, and she literally did not miss a beat. The show must go on, as they say!
Gigi simply just tiptoed her way down the runway, making it seem like she had on two heels, rather than just one. From far away, one would barely be able to notice that something went wrong. She kept on slaying it like the fab fashionista she is. During the models' last lap around the catwalk, Gigi's younger sister Bella Hadid joined her for some support – literally. Gigi swung her arm around Bella's shoulder and finished off the show with her sister's shoulder to lean on. Hey, what are siblings for?!
