China and Japan waltz closer together, signing deals worth $18 billion during Beijing summit
China’s ceremonial welcome for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Beijing on Friday at the Great Hall of the People would have been out of the question a few years ago.
Chinese protesters in 2012 boycotted Japanese products and smashed cars outside the Japanese Embassy over Tokyo’s move to nationalize disputed islands in the East China Sea.
Two years later, when Abe met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of a regional meeting in Beijing, the atmosphere was frigid and the glances awkward.
On Friday, the optics were warmer: Xi and Abe smiled and clasped hands against a backdrop of the flags of China and Japan during the first summit meeting between the leaders of Asia’s two richest economies in seven years. Business deals were signed worth $18 billion.
With both nations facing economic challenges including the Trump administration’s trade tariffs, the summit saw them take a significant step closer to cooperation instead of rivalry — with an invitation extended to Xi to visit Japan next year.
“I believe active trade will deepen ties between the Japanese and Chinese peoples further,” Abe said in a summit that emphasized economic relations, while nudging aside problems involving security and territory.
Xi said China’s relationship with Japan was looking better. He told Abe it was time to shift relations between the neighbors into “a new historic direction” with international “instability and uncertainties growing” — an apparent reference to the trade war.
“Under the new situation, our interdependence with each other has deepened. Also, we are sharing more common interests and concerns in multilateral and wider areas,” Xi said.
“In the past several years, the China-Japan relationship has experienced ups and downs. With the efforts made by both parties, our relationship has been straightened out and come back to a normal track,” Xi said.
Earlier, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang emphasized China’s message that it is continuing to open up its economy to global competition.
“We welcome Japan to take more active participation in the new round of China’s reform and opening-up and continue win-win cooperation,” Li told Abe.
Japan’s fundamental security partnership is with the United States. But Tokyo and Beijing are seeking closer economic ties as U.S. trade affects the regional economy.
Signaling that economic ties were the key to Abe’s three-day visit, he flew in Thursday with a group of about 1,000 business delegates, and the two sides announced Friday that some 500 business deals worth $18 billion had been signed.
Their warming ties come after the Trump administration hit China with tariffs on $250 billion in goods and China retaliated with tariffs on $110 billion in U.S. goods. President Trump has threatened to slap tariffs on an additional $267 billion in Chinese goods by the end of the year.
Japan’s biggest trade partner is China and Japanese companies have massive investments in China, so they face collateral damage from U.S. tariffs on products they manufacture there.
Trump has threatened tariffs on Japan’s auto industry but last month agreed to hold off so that bilateral trade talks can be held. Japan has also seen U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Some analysts see the trade dispute as marking Trump’s intention to decouple the U.S. economy from China’s, in particular in strategic, high-tech products, a move that has profound implications not only for China’s economy, but also for Japan and other Asian economies.
“There’s no doubt that Trump has helped to push them together, because both feel flummoxed and beaten up by Trump on trade and they have a great economic self-interest on both sides of the Sea of Japan in their economic relationship,” said Richard McGregor, the author of “Asia’s Reckoning: China, Japan, and the Fate of U.S. Power in the Pacific Century” who is an analyst at the Sydney-based Lowy Institute, a think tank on regional affairs.
“Trump has had a lot of short-term victories on trade, but the long-term impact could be quite corrosive, and this is a prime example of that. If the U.S. is serious about decoupling — in other words, getting core manufacturing capability out of China — then Japan is one of the key countries in that respect, because Japan has enormous investment in China and as a result manufactures many value-added, high-tech goods in China,” McGregor said.
“Are they going to get out [of China] to please Trump because the U.S. taxes certain goods in the supply chain? I think the Japanese don’t have much of an incentive to do that economically.”
Long-standing mistrust, a territorial dispute over islands in the East China Sea and friction in the East China and South China seas have seen years of chilly relations. The relationship hit a nadir in 2012 after Japan bought a group of disputed islands known as the Senkaku in Japan and as the Diaoyu in China from their private Japanese owner.
In recent years, both sides have taken some steps to improve ties, including a Li visit to Japan in May.
But McGregor said it would take more than one summit meeting to fundamentally repair years of tension.
“It could be a historic turning point, but for that to be the case they’ll have to stick at it for a number of years,” he said. “There’s an enormous amount of baggage going back decades.
“That baggage is often added to at different times by the propaganda authorities in China when they want to ramp up animus against Japan. They would have to stop that if there’s going to be a real turnaround in the relationship. Equally the Japanese would have to learn to trust China, which they’re a long way from doing.”
The two sides signed several agreements, including to deepen diplomatic ties, a move to cooperate on maritime search-and-rescue operations and a hotline to avert military clashes in the East China Sea, to make it “a sea of peace, cooperation and friendship.”
The Japanese prime minister’s spokesman, Takeshi Osuga, said Abe told Li that Japan and the rest of the world were watching China closely on human rights issues. China’s detention of about 1 million Muslim minority residents in camps in Xinjiang province has been condemned by rights groups and the United Nations. China portrays the camps as vocational training centers designed to prevent terrorism.
Osuga said closer ties with China did not compromise Japan’s support for universal human rights or its long-standing security relationships.
McGregor said China was also looking for improved ties elsewhere, including with Europe and Australia, after recent tension between Canberra and Beijing.
“China is looking for friends and that also means trying to patch up relations with Australia.” But he said multiple leadership switches in Australia meant that improvements in relations were unlikely before an Australian election due next year.
At Friday’s China-Japan summit, the two sides agreed to work together for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. They agreed to cooperate in finance, trade and innovation. Abe also called on China to strengthen protection of intellectual property, a concern shared by Europe and Washington.

The bill starts to come due for California’s climate change law.
When California’s economy was booming in 2006—remember that?—Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and many Californians wanted to show their environmental virtue by becoming the first state to pass a comprehensive climate change law. And so they did, for which the bill is starting to come due.
Lawmakers and environmentalists predicted that the new law, called AB 32, would become a model for the rest of the nation. It never did. They also said the Golden State’s head start in developing green technologies would create thousands of new jobs. In 2008 the California Air Resources Board even estimated that the new rules and cap-and-trade tax would increase state GDP. In short, AB 32 was sold to the voters who declined to overturn it in a 2010 referendum as a green free lunch.
Now fast forward to 2012. California’s economy is still struggling, the jobless rate is 10.8%, and AB 32’s taxes and regulations are starting to bite. Two new studies by private consulting firms add up the real-world cost to California families and businesses.
The first study—sponsored by the California Manufacturers and Technology Association, whose members employ 1.2 million residents—estimates the price tag for three major new regulations associated with the law: cap-and-trade taxes on carbon emissions, a “low carbon fuel standard,” and a stringent 33% renewable mandate for electricity production. Together these policies raise energy costs and are expected to reduce state GDP by between 3.5% and 8.9% by 2020.
Even under the “optimistic” scenario, that’s a loss of up to $447 billion in California output over eight years and represents a bigger loss in income than the 2008-09 recession. The cost per California family is estimated at $2,500 a year due to higher costs. Repeat after Milton Friedman: There is no such thing as a free lunch.
One alarming conclusion is that “emissions reductions due to economic harm account for 26% of total reductions, more than any ARB mandated program” except cap and trade. This means that a major way Californians will reduce their greenhouse emissions is by slower growth, chasing industry out of the state, and putting more people out of work. If Californians produce less, their carbon footprint is smaller. The Sierra Club must be loving this weak recovery.

Behavioral Medicine encompasses the fields of both psychiatry and psychology.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor and licensed to write prescriptions. Many mental disorders can be treated effectively with medication, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD or bipolar disorder. Often a combination of medication and psychotherapy or counseling is needed. If that is the case, the psychiatrist may provide the psychotherapy, or the psychiatrist may refer you to a counselor or other type of mental health professional.
Often a psychologist will work in association with a psychiatrist or other medical doctor who provides the medical treatment for mental illness, while the psychologist provides the psychotherapy. Licensed mental health counselors and clinical social workers are often also part of the behavioral medicine teams.
CAMC offers behavioral health resources in multiple locations throughout the system, including the Family Resource Center at CAMC Women & Children’s Hospital, the Family Medicine Center and the West Virginia University Department of Behavioral Medicine located in the Institute for Academic Medicine building on the CAMC Memorial Hospital campus.

Some people don't know when to leave well enough alone. We like those people. Like the engineers over at German tuning firm Wimmer Racing Technology, who have taken Porsche's top-of-the-line 911 GT2 and taken it to an even further extreme.
By tinkering with the electronics and replacing the twin turbochargers, camshafts, cylinder heads and exhaust system, Wimmer has brought the overall output up to a stratospheric 680 horsepower and 642 lb-ft of torque. With all that power in the back, the Wimmer RS GT2 can accelerate to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 221 miles per hour...plenty of grunt, in other words, to keep almost everything on the Autobahn in its rear-view mirror. Along with the carbon-fiber body kit, re-tuned suspension and 21" wheels, the modifications add an extra $40,000 to the "stock" GT2's $191,700 list price, for an on-the-street cost of over $230k. Bragging rights included.

Why winning at Toolbox Global Awards 2020 matter
12 January 2021
I am happy to share that Al Masaood’s TBA Solutions and Technical Support team have been recognized as one of the winners in Bridgestone Japan’s Toolbox Global Awards 2020.
Our Technical Manager Shafeeque Thalakkal and our Senior Sales Executive, Rasheed Paravakka, have been identified as “UNSUNG HEROES” for their continuous contributions to Toolbox.
Toolbox is an international digital tool used by professionals in the tyre industry to provide feedback, reports and simulation studies for fleet customers.
Congratulations to the team on this win, and thank you to our principal Bridgestone Japan for their acknowledging the team’s hard work and efforts.
I wish you all a successful and prosperous year ahead.


It's not even funny anymore. Seriously. Movies making the transfer to video games need to stop somewhere. While we knew a game based on the amazingly fantastic testosterone-fest 300
was inevitable, we have no idea who thought making a game based on the torture/puzzle movies of the Saw
universe made any sense at all. What's next, Hostel: The Game
? That would be crap.
New publisher Brash Entertainment is paving the way, deciding to cater exclusively to games based off of movies, TV, or music licenses. They've already got 5 movie studios to support them, with over 12 projects underway including the two we've mentioned. Not Hostel
, though. Not yet. We always wish every developer and publisher the best of luck, but this Brash Entertainment ... it deserves a slap. Unless movie/TV games start to show us something that doesn't suck, we've got nothing more to say. If they make 300
suck, that's it. No more movie games. Ever.

Finalized in Spring 2017, this strategic plan guides the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press in planning, decision-making and resource allocation.
Shaped by environmental scans of selected comparator institution libraries, focus groups with stakeholders and broad input from Library staff, the strategic plan is an aspirational and living document that articulates an agenda aligned with strategic directions outlined by President Assanis.

We use a process of continual assessment and adjustment to achieve our goals and strategic directions.
The Library inspires the intellectual, scholarly and creative achievement of University and global communities with expert staff, excellent service, dynamic learning spaces and access to diverse collections and information resources.
The Library is the intellectual and interdisciplinary hub of the University. We partner with the campus and the community for scholarly and creative endeavors. We support the University’s efforts to have a positive impact on the community and offer innovative solutions to global problems.
The University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press contributes to a community that nurtures intellectual curiosity and free inquiry, where everyone is empowered to learn and flourish, in alignment with the University of Delaware Values. These values ground our strategic and operational decisions and inform the way that we develop personnel, spaces, collections, services and programs.
Our values in action:
- We provide a welcoming environment that is open to all in accordance with UD Library policies and diversity statement.
- We provide equitable service to our diverse community of users, and in doing so we recognize, value and embrace the uniqueness of each individual.
- We promote an atmosphere of respect and civility as an essential part of strengthening our campus and local communities.

In accordance with these practices we operate with transparency and accountability. We recognize the dignity of all people in public and private discourse and engage in dialogue that builds trust and fosters collaboration. Thus, we value and cultivate the free exchange of ideas, and condemn speech or action that threatens the physical or psychological safety of any member of our community.
Each of the Library’s strategic directions rests upon the interconnected foundations of inclusive excellence, organizational effectiveness and user experience. To provide superior user experience, the Library must be guided by effective internal organization that is inclusive, adaptive and actively supports continuous learning. None of these foundational principles can be successful without the others.
The Library recognizes and celebrates the diversity of staff, students, faculty and the broader community. We welcome, respect and respond to the contributions of all.
Our organization is transparent and built on strong and effective communication. We foster an environment of collegiality and teamwork. The Library cultivates a respectful and inclusive work environment that empowers staff and values input from all employees. Data analysis is used to drive decision-making and responsible resource allocation.

SPENCER COUNTY, Ind. (WHAS11) – Untested evidence and Charles Boney were the focal points in one of two pre-trial hearings for former Indiana State Trooper David Camm held Monday afternoon.
This was the first hearing Camm attended in months where prosecutors and defense attorneys argued about how much jurors would hear, especially from Charles Boney who was convicted in killing Camm’s wife and children in 2006.
The state will likely call Boney as a witness who will testify he sold a gun to Camm before the murder and was there when it happened.
The defense argues Boney was the only murderer and say his history of robbery and kidnapping should be introduced at the trial.
“They want to hide from the jury who Charles Boney really is and keep the jury from knowing the truth about Charles Boney,” Camm’s defense attorney Richard Kammen said. “That is especially troubling giving the history of this case.”
Another motion held during the hearing discussed evidence found on Camm’s property but never tested.
Camm’s attorneys believe the found evidence came from a sexual assault Boney committed before murdering Kim Camm.
The judge will hear and rule on motions heard in another pre-trial hearing scheduled for April 19.
The August trial will take place in Boone County, Indiana because of the publicity.

PATNA: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's DNA barb on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy today raked up a similar controversy by alleging that Kumar's DNA has "gone wrong" after aligning with RJD supremo Lalu Prasad.
He also claimed that Kumar has "lost his good senses" after joining forces with the RJD supremo, who, he alleged, has "cast a spell" on the Bihar Chief Minister who is "speaking the same language against the BJP," as Prasad has been doing all these years.
"There was nothing wrong with your (Nitish Kumar) DNA so long as you were with us (BJP)....your DNA has gone wrong only after your formed an alliance with RJD supremo Lalu Prasad," Rudy, the Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship told reporters here.
On the Chief Minister firing salvo at the Prime Minister for his DNA remarks by claiming that he hailed from a family of freedom fighters, the Union Minister said, it was not his family alone, but the entire 50 crore population of the country that had fought for the country's freedom.
"Kumar is perhaps not aware of the history and geography of the country," he said, taking a dig at Kumar.
In a hard-hitting attack on the senior JD(U) leader, Rudy, a senior BJP leader and MP from Chhapra, charged the former with being "garrulous" like his Delhi counterpart Arvind Kejriwal.
Nitish Kumar too has followed in Kejriwal's footsteps and adopted a similar "garrulous and confrontationist attitude" towards the Centre, but in his case, he was unlikely to get another term in power in Bihar, the Union Minister claimed.

Defence officials from South Korea and China will meet on Friday to discuss North Korea’s latest nuclear test, the Yonhap news agency reported, after the South and the United States put pressure on China to rein in its neighbor.
The North’s nuclear test on Wednesday last week angered both China and the United States and again raised questions about what can be done to stop its development of nuclear weapons.
Senior defense officials of South Korea and China will meet in Seoul in an annual forum and discuss a joint response to the test, the South Korean news agency reported.
A South Korean Defence Ministry official could not immediately confirm the report.
North Korea said last week it successfully tested a hydrogen bomb, but the United States and experts questioned the claim saying the recorded blast was too small for it to have been such a device.
South Korean President Park Geun-hye called on China on Wednesday to use its influence over North Korea to press it to end its nuclear program, adding it could use its permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council to help draw up effective sanctions.
“I believe the Chinese government will not allow the situation on the Korean peninsula to deteriorate further,” Park told a news conference. Read more

I have a confession to make: I hate reading Shakespeare’s plays. (This can be a bit of a problem when you major in English Literature and Writing.)
That said, over the course of my high school and college years I saw productions of As You Like It, The Comedy of Errors, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew (twice, once as a western and once set in 1950s Italy), Antony and Cleopatra, Hamlet, and Macbeth, and I was one of the fairies in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I’ve seen Shakespeare productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company in London, England; the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, Canada; the Chicago Shakespeare Theater; and the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern, in addition to many smaller theaters.
I’ve loved them all!
How does this work? I made a deal with myself: I only read a Shakespeare play after I’ve seen a production of it. After all, plays were made to be seen, not read, right?
It’s not always possible to find a theater production for each play you want to see, of course, and that’s where DVDs come into play. Two of my favorites are available from the library. Try these:
There’s more where those came from, so just ask your librarian for a hand if there are others you’d like to see.
If you’d rather read your Shakespeare (or if your teacher says you have to), take a look at the No-Fear Shakespeare series. Each book has Shakespeare’s original words on one side of the page with a modern English translation on the other. I recommend starting with The Taming of the Shrew.
See? Easy-peasy. Enjoy!

ANDY MURRAY is determined to turn all his dreams into glorious realities.
The Brit ace admits he cannot stop fantasising in his sleep about lifting
trophies and bagging Majors — even if he wakes up thinking he has lost when
he has won!
Murray arrives in the Big Apple on a real roll having brilliantly scooped gold
at London 2012 by thrashing Roger Federer in the Olympic final.
The Dunblane boy, who faces Russian Alex Bogomolov in the early evening today,
said: “The elation of winning the Olympics stayed with me for a while.
“It was definitely like that for a good week, 10 days afterwards.
“After Wimbledon I dreamt I won Wimbledon, and I woke up in the morning and I
was just starting to feel better.
“That didn’t help! Then a few days after the Olympics, I dreamt that I lost in
the final of the Olympics.
“Obviously waking up remembering that I had won was nice. That was when I was
“So yeah, you think about it a lot. But the thing with tennis is we have
tournaments to look forward to in the not too distant future.
“Once you start getting on the match court again, you never forget about it,
but that feeling is a bit different.
“You’re nervous going into matches and preparing for events.
“That takes your mind off what happened a few weeks ago.”
Murray is being tipped like never before to finally end his quest for Grand
Slam glory — even if potential semi-final opponent and world No 1 Fed is
right back in the groove.
The Scot is totally focused on the prize and added: “I prepared well. I
trained hard the last five, six days, so I’m ready to go.
“There has been a number of weeks since Wimbledon and a number of weeks since
the Olympics as well. The one thing it has given me is a bit more

Born in the Mott Haven neighborhood in the South Bronx, Flora Montes grew up in the Mill Brook Houses, a part of the New York City Housing Authority that provides public housing in the city.
Raised by a teenage mother and a father who was an addict, Montes says her childhood was far from stellar. She left the borough with her two-year-old son in 1989 and moved to Connecticut. However, tragedy struck Montes after a pregnancy in her mid-30s. In 2001, her daughter died at birth, passing away in Montes’ arms. The terrible fallout from this heartbreak would eventually bring her back to the South Bronx.
“I wanted to make sense of my life and make sense of why this tragedy happened to me,” Montes, 57, says. “How do I have this little girl’s legacy remembered and how do I make my legacy remembered?”
Striving to pay it forward, Montes spent countless days stuffing all kinds of school supplies she bought herself — everything from pens to notebooks — into her jalopy of a car and driving around to hand them out to students in the South Bronx. She partnered with a local shelter and the Bronx Museum of the Arts to distribute the supplies. At the time, she also attempted to create a name for herself by starting a catering business for companies.
In 2012, Montes got a gig catering a Manhattan event for Latin Fashion Week, an organization with year-round events promoting Latin apparel and professionals. As she served food for attendees, Montes’ eyes began to lock in on the runway, the models and the clothing designs.
“I fell in love,” Montes exclaims.
She wondered why the Bronx didn’t have a similar event — so she set out to make one happen.
“[The fashion industry] wasn’t as inclusive as it should have been at that time,” she said. “I heard a lot of stories from models that were rejected because of their hair. Because it was curly. Bronx Fashion Week’s mission for me at that time was instant.”
In 2014, Montes created an organization she coined Bronx Fashion NYC, which became a 501(c) 3 nonprofit in 2020. The organization aimed to establish Bronx-centric fashion event opportunities and better representation in an industry where access is often unattainable for people of color or of limited means — or who happen to come from the Bronx, a borough often perceived by some as un-chic despite boasting a culturally thriving history of innovation in the arts.
In the beginning, Montes faced several challenges with financing the sort of fashion shows she knew her home borough was capable of. She often had to work another day job to bring in the money to fund them. But through constant sponsorship presentations, she began to gain a steady flow of sponsors. The first group to sign on was Metro Optics Eyewear, and more recent contributors include the Fordham Road Business Improvement District and The Mall at Bay Plaza. With this influx of financial support, Bronx Fashion NYC has been able to host shows across different venues in the borough, including at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Library Center.
Over the course of eight years, the nonprofit has also grown in staffing. Haizel McIntyre, a first-generation Dominican-American raised in the South Bronx who modeled throughout college, restarted her modeling career in 2018 with the help of the organization in 2018. It wasn’t long before Montes asked McIntyre, now 42, to take on the role of creative producer, which entails hiring a progressive, diverse group of models and clothing creators to help expand the industry’s long-standing limitations. McIntyre handles operational items like registration, designer and model agreements and scouting for designers for the shows.
In addition, Montes called on Crystal Gomez, who started modeling for Bronx Fashion NYC in 2015, to join her team. A Bronx-born person of Puerto Rican heritage, Gomez, 38, soon moved up the ranks from assistant creative director to creative director. She is currently responsible for the aesthetic of the productions, making final decisions on makeup, hairstyles, music and order of the show. She also manages rehearsals, fittings and connecting with designers to fuse their creativity into the show.
From scouring for models at casting calls to obtaining sponsors, finding fashion designers, booking venues and hosting training sessions before the shows, the process, Montes says, takes six months to a year to create each show.
In addition to all the work of putting on these shows, Montes has lately focused on another longtime dream: to create a fashion school designed for adolescents.
She collaborated with Here to Here, a nonprofit in the Bronx developing career pathways for the youth, to create the program at the South Bronx Community Charter High School. The hands-on program let the students, like 16-year-old Verman Cuello, become a part of the Bronx Fashion Week’s February 2023 show. From assisting at casting calls to providing backstage help, the students saw firsthand what it is like to put together a show.
Cuello envisioned himself as a surgeon. However, after joining the fashion program, an opportunity he was never afforded, he is pondering a potential career shift as a designer or stylist. He now knows he can earn a spot in the industry as a person of color through learning about diverse fashion trailblazers, such as model Tyson Beckford, who hails from the Bronx.
During the launch of the program, Montes enlisted the help of 31-year-old Delsio Hilario, a South Bronx native and Bronx Fashion NYC model.
Speaking to students, Hilario says, “I wish that I had a program like this when I was younger because this would keep me out of the streets.”
Hilario, who spent some time in the Bronx’s foster care system, soon moved to Connecticut and got into trouble. After committing a robbery, Hilario faced 18 months behind bars as a 17-year-old. After his release, he found a job but quickly lost it and resorted to the one place he knew he could make money — the streets. He committed another robbery and served a six-year sentence at 20 years old.
Upon his release, he recalled a conversation with his aunt about modeling, and quickly she brought up Montes. Soon, Hilario found himself at a casting call. Self-doubt set in for the newcomer as he never imagined walking a runway. Despite the nerves, he secured a spot in the fashion show and walked at their Westchester Square production in the Bronx.
“Bronx Fashion changed [my life] in probably one of the best ways possible,” Hilario says. “It kept me out of things that I wasn’t supposed to do. It kept me busy.”
“[Flora] always pushed me to be great,” he adds. “It’s a great feeling to have somebody behind you, to always encourage you to be good. I’m forever grateful to Flora for believing in me and pushing me.”
The doors of opportunity began opening for Hilario shortly after his first show. He walked in the Australian fashion brand Coogi’s 50th-anniversary show, a Franklin Road International fashion show and continued walking for Bronx Fashion NYC. He credited his success to Montes and her organization.
For Montes, models like Hilario have become family.
“I may have lost a daughter,” Montes says, “But I gained models. They may not even realize how proud I am of them, and that they’ve become my children. … When I look at all the stories that have come through us – we are more than fabric. We’re more than a runway. There’s a story beyond that runway every time.”
Bronx Fashion NYC takes a Bronx mall by storm
When people hear the term “New York Fashion Week,” they typically think of breathlessly hyped, mega-photographed events unfolding mainly in Manhattan and Brooklyn. But Bronx Fashion NYC is striving to change that perception decisively. Case in point: The organization’s Bronx fall 2022 event unspooled against a backdrop of much more aggressively promoted shows in Manhattan. Why the disparity? Because as far as New York’s “official” fashion week is concerned, the Bronx barely exists.
Officially, New York Fashion Week in fall 2022 ran from Sept. 9-14. It was spearheaded by The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. (CFDA), a not-for-profit trade association. CFDA owns and organizes the Fashion Calendar and the official New York Fashion Week schedule. It implements a formal application for designers to be included in the official schedule. And for the fall 2022 lineup, all kinds of interesting work appeared.
But for Flora Montes and her band of guerilla innovators, the epicenter of Fashion Week wasn’t at any of these high-profile locales. It was in a string of events branded under the umbrella name Bronx Fashion Week, or, as they abbreviate it, BXFW. The first major event this past fall would unfold not in a swanky convention center or an architectural landmark, but at a modest mall located at 200 Baychester Ave. in Co-op City.
The date is Sept. 10. The sound of an upbeat playlist of techno and instrumental music has begun to ripple throughout the Mall at Bay Plaza. Atop the third floor, the mall’s food court beckons, completely transformed where rows of orange chairs have been lined up, and spotlights gleam on the white backdrop and runway.
In short order, the two-hour show in the mall food court will become a standing-room-only space. Anxiously waiting in the back is model and Bronx native Alana Sierra. Wearing an off-the-shoulder ruffled cheetah print blouse paired with a black leather skirt and patent leather heels, she takes a deep breath and hits the runway. As she struts across the catwalk, the plus-size model takes in the applause and achieves something she never thought would be possible.
A report conducted by the website The Fashion Spot in 2014 analyzed 151 fashion shows, including New York, London, Milan and Paris. It found that 82% of the models cast for those shows were white, with Black and Asian models totaling only 6.8% of the cast and Latinas at a wildly marginalized 1.8%. A 2022 study revealed a somewhat better balance: 48.6% of models were people of color, and there was an increase in plus-size and gender representation — yet there was also a drop in age representation.
But really, Sierra doesn’t need to hear a bunch of facts and figures like these to know how hard-won improvements in fashion diversity have been.
“When I was growing up nobody looked like me,” Sierra shares. “I am not the typical model. So it feels really great that [I am] accepted in a place where they will accept me back.
“It’s very exciting not only for myself but for the community. I have little girls looking up to me. I want girls and women alike to know that we can rock it and you can do it.”
As bigger fashion shows were unraveling across Manhattan throughout that mid-September week in 2022, Sierra says it was surreal to be a part of a fashion event in a place she calls home. She felt that there was a misconception that fashion is primarily a Manhattan or Brooklyn activity, after witnessing little to no fashion shows in her borough.
“Fashion is everywhere,” she says walking off the runway. “It’s really exciting to have the [Bronx] community feel that you don’t have to go to the city to be a part of fashion. You can be in it — in your own backyard.”
Sierra and many others have found the BXFW shows to be a showcase for diversity of models with regard to age, race and background. Folks from newcomers to experienced models have found opportunities at these events.
One of these newcomers, 16-year-old Sayeira McIntyre, was dressed in a beige dress and an orange plaid button-up with her natural hair out. Sayeira is approaching a momentous occasion: her first time hitting the runway — something she’d previously thought of as unimaginable.
Why? Because she has encountered so much misunderstanding of, and so little representation of, the Bronx in the fashion world. For this 5’4″ model, she believed the industry was not built for her. Her ideas of models usually involved them being taller than her. But once she sat in on a casting call with her mother Haizel McIntyre — the creative producer for the organization and former child model — Sayeira could finally envision a path for herself.
“I want to show … you don’t have to look a certain way to be a model — you can just do it,” Sayeira says.
And for Sayeira, “just doing it” meant multiple tries and failures to make it to her mall-show debut. Finally, after her third casting call — she made the show.
“I’m really a proud mom,” her mother Haizel shared before Sayeira made her debut. “It’s kind of a bit nostalgic for me to think back to when I modeled at her age.”
Haizel is careful to confirm that she actually had no involvement in the decision of casting her daughter and stepped out of the selection process. As she puts it, “it’s kind of a culminating experience for me to see that she might continue to do what I had a passion for.”
Sayeira later said that as she walked the runway multiple times, embodying a self-described “baddie” persona on the catwalk, she received words of encouragement and advice from newcomers to more experienced models. In the waiting room, she recalled constant reassurance and an uplifting attitude from many young and older male and female models awaiting their turn to strut their skills, including Gaby Haas. In a pool of young talent, Haas is an anomaly within an industry where the median age of is 23, according to the Fashion Model Directory in 2019.
Growing up in Romania, Haas, now 60, had always wanted to be a model. She loved playing dress up as a kid, often wearing her sister’s high heels. She remembers her mother telling her not to leave the house without putting on makeup or doing her hair.
But her height in the past had prevented her from becoming a runway model. In Europe, Haas suffered rejection after rejection for her short stature. She resorted to being a fitness model and taking up dance. She continued as a personal trainer when she first moved to the U.S. in 2005, and now as a food and nutrition supervisor at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey. However, with shows like Bronx Fashion Week — her dreams are now a reality.
Haas discovered the Bronx Fashion Week casting call on Facebook and Instagram. Haas says she often does not have high expectations of being selected in a sea of tall and younger models, but that does not deter her from heading to every casting call she sees. Following her tryout, Montes , the founder, praised Haas’ look, how wonderful she was and how she wanted her in the show. She added that Montes’ words made her day.
“It doesn’t matter what age you are, you have to be proud [of] where you are and inspire other women,” Haas declares. “That’s my goal in life, to inspire many women — don’t be afraid to show how you look, put on makeup, put [on] a short dress, put [on] something sexy. And just step outside of your comfort zone. ”
Seeing models of all kinds — young, older, plus-size, male, female, gender-neutral — is exactly what Montes loves to see from her usual front-row seat at BXFW shows. She’s seeing her vision brought to life, one runway walk at a time.
A runway open to everyone and anyone
Bronx Fashion NYC continues to grow as an organization — and within this past season, the fashion shows themselves got bigger and bigger. Their Sept. 17, 2022 show was at a place like no other — an elaborate public library, bringing the community of fashion to a community-centered space. This was a first for BXFW, as most of the previous shows have happened at the Bay Plaza Mall.
Harlem-born designer Sofia Davis loved the Bronx Library Center as the show’s new location. The $50 million, 78,000-square-foot library is located at East Kingsbridge Road, a busy intersection filled with Bronx residents and local shops. She thought it was important to have a space that reached the community.
Davis, 57, showcased her House of Sofia Couture collection. Some may know the fashion media conglomerate as “the Black Anna Wintour and the First Lady of Fashion,” as stated on her website. Her designs have brought haute couture decked out with feathers, bling and flowingness to the Bronx. Davis has been collaborating with BXFW since it was a twinkle in Montes’ eye. Montes would come to Davis’ office to discuss, what was at the time, her preliminary ideas for BXFW.
Fashion has been a part of Davis’ life since she played in her mom’s lipstick and Chanel №5 perfume as a 4 year old. She soon studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Now, Davis is in all facets of fashion with her two collections — House of Sofia Couture and BODY GODDESS, a sunglasses collection, and Fashion Avenue News magazine, among other projects.
Similar to Montes, Davis did the same thing with her own model management company, creating the organization to address the lack and need for diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry. She had long noticed that top publications like “W,” “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar” had no black models at all until Naomi Campbell came along, and precious few even after that.
“I think that it’s imperative that people see themselves on a runway,” Davis says. “Everyone is not 5 ’11″ and 110 pounds … that is not realistic.”
Davis continued creating space for overlooked people with a series of shows called “Fashion on the Hudson.” She says she likes to recall something her father often said: Don’t beg to be part of anything, “take the whole table.” That’s more or less what she has done.
“I think that it is important that everybody is represented,” Davis says. “I thank Bronx Fashion Week for not only doing that, making everyone feel included, but [for] doing it from the beginning. Not waiting for George Floyd or something that happened to say, ‘Okay, we are going to include everybody.’”
Beyond the boost it’s going to give Davis to sell clothes, BXFW’s Sept. 17, 2022 library fashion show also marked a heart-tugging occasion for one model in particular, and his family.
In the front row of the library’s auditorium sits Diane Fenner, her daughter and her granddaughter, all waiting to watch Diane’s son, Joel Fenner, glide through the runway, taking advantage of that platform. He finally comes out decked in a two-piece blue suit with gold accents from Larry Franco’s Spring 2022 designs.
Joel’s 5-year-old niece sits on the edge of her seat with an iPad in one hand and the other hand waving in excitement — the beginnings of inspiration clearly sparking in her. Joel’s mother can’t contain her parental pride as she watches her son represent their culture. She hopes his presence can inspire more male models to walk for BXFW.
“Just to be here, and to represent African Americans and males in fashion, it’s really an honor,” Diane says.
Joel, 17, clearly felt that love from his family. They have always supported him and had his back, he says. Aside from his family making this an amazing experience, gaining new connections with fellow models added to it.
Bronx Fashion Week is its own little community, embodying a family-like environment at each show, Davis says, echoing Joel’s sentiment.
Bronx Fashion NYC has always been more than just fashion and modeling for Montes, it’s about the opportunities it’s fostering in the Bronx and the creativity it’s nurturing. With Bronx Fashion NYC, Montes is working on putting Bronx models and local designers on the map, paving the way for the future.
“I’m building a legacy,” Montes says. “This isn’t a company. We were always meant to be more than just an event.”

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Chevron Corp
said it earned $4.5 billion, or $2.36 a share, in the first quarter, down from $6.2 billion, or $3.18 a share, in the same period a year ago, weighed down by lower prices and volumes for crude oil. Sales fell to $51 billion from $54 billion a year ago. The FactSet consensus was for EPS of $2.53 and sales of $54.47 billion. "Crude prices were tempered by global economic factors, while our current year production volumes were affected by weather-related, unplanned downtime, particularly in Kazakhstan," CEO John Watson said in a statement. Shares were down about 0.5% in premarket trade.
