For some people, the term “streetwear” conjures up images of the recent trends seen on the streets of New York, Paris, London, or Tokyo. That’s because, before it became an aesthetic and cultural movement, it was considered to be “unflattering fashion.”
But now, the top streetwear labels send harness bags and hoodies down fashion week runways, fighting for the spotlight with luxury fashion houses.
They are contemporary, easy-going, and distinctive in their aesthetics.
These labels are fusing luxury and hip-hop streetwear, making them more “trendy” than ever.
We’ve compiled a list of our top streetwear brands to help you enhance your street style game.
30 Best Streetwear Brands
Since its founding, Off-White has made a splash on the fashion runways as well as the streets. The brand’s creator, the late Virgil Abloh, dreamt of creating a space “in-between” where streetwear meets luxury. Now, Off-White is credited for the rise of streetwear in the realm of luxury.
You’ll not only see the brand on the backs of hype beasts but on the runways of Milan Fashion Week as well.
Before founding his own brand in 2013, Abloh had experience working with Kanye West and Fendi.
His fusion of couture and streetwear culture has resulted in a brand noted for its vibrant and unique patterns, exciting collaborations, and forward-thinking designs.
Despite being a relative newcomer to the street style world, Off-White has undoubtedly earned its legendary position.
Supreme, based in New York, has woven itself into the tapestry of streetwear culture.
Supreme is one of the names that has heightened street fashion in the world of luxury fashion, and they did so by collaborating with brands such as Louis Vuitton and Rolex.
The American clothing and skateboard company is now seen on the street fashion lovers and hype beasts all around the world. As a result, the brand is already one of the biggest streetwear labels in history.
Supreme reinvents the supply and demand cycle by releasing a small number of new products every week. It gives you a chance to freshen up your look with a new touch on the classic red and white trademark.
Ronnie Fieg, a New York-based footwear designer, is the brains behind Kith. The multidimensional label houses some of the most desired names in the streetwear scene for sneakerheads in its retail area. It’s also an independent label.
Keith is most recognized for its iconic logo and contemporary clothes. They also feature limited-edition collaborations with some surprising names.
Bugaboo, a premium pram company, and even Coca-Cola have collaborated with Kith. Moreover, they also collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger. The theme was to create a nostalgic capsule collection for Autumn/Winter 18.
One of the original brands to be linked with the birth of sneaker culture is Nike.
Regardless of their personal preferences, all sneakerheads will accept that the swish is the most well0known and loved symbol in the world. Nike has evolved from its prominence as a fitness clothing brand to a streetwear name.
The brand has teamed up with brands like Patta and Off-White to create some of the most stylish streetwear to date. The growth of Nike is only increasing, and it appears that they will continue to do so for many years to come.
Tinker Hatfield, the brilliant shoe designer who produced some of the company’s most classic styles, including the MAG, Air Max 1, and many Air Jordans, is responsible for a large part of its accomplishment.
Vetements is a testament that streetwear has entirely invaded the world of high fashion. This commonly mispronounced brand is often known for its oversized edgy and ironic hoodies.
Founded in 2014 by Demna Gvasalia, his brother Garam Gvasalia, and five other friends who have a plethora of experience in the fashion world. Essentially this was their way of creating a more down-to-earth, in-touch with the youth designer brand.
Vetements have gained notoriety quickly through their time in the spotlight. Its inventive and eclectic designs took runway fashion and turned it into streetwear cool.
As best stated by Vogue, Vetements is known for its tongue-in-cheek garments. Their clothes reflect the idea of urban cultures, the internet, and everyday life.
They have also used appropriation to garner the attention of many. Their use of broader culture in satirical designs never fails to generate a buzz.

The Yeezy Boost collection has produced some of the most sought-after and talked-about sneakers in recent years.
It also served to solidify Adidas’ position in street fashion. With the 1990s sneaker craze in full force, the ‘Three Stripes’ status in the market is only growing stronger.
HUF is a brand that began in the early 1990s and is deeply ingrained in streetwear culture. Since then, it has only grown in strength. A New York native, Keith Hufnagel started his own label in San Francisco after a spell with Stussy.
HUF swiftly established itself as the one-stop store for all things surf and skate. It is now regarded as one of the most famous streetwear brands, with stores all over the world.
Stüssy launched as a modest graphic shirt firm in 1980 and is regarded as the first streetwear label. Shawn Stussy developed his company to include skate and surf items after gaining a lot of traction with his t-shirts.
Stussy’s magnificent designs have achieved tremendous success since its debut in the 1980s. And it translated into a vast spectrum of streetwear by the brand.
After more than four decades, the Cali-born label has grown into a streetwear behemoth.
Stussy is now a leading force in the streetwear couture industry, offering forward-thinking creations while staying faithful to its origins. The label, famed for its inventive and eye-catching graphics, is doing better than ever.
Obey has significant ties in the skate and punk countercultures and is notable for mixing activism into its design.

Fairey’s apparel reflects his populist ideas and acts as a new platform for him to spread his message.
Since its founding, the brand has grown in popularity and is now a staple of the streetwear scene.
Undercover was founded in 1993 by Jun Takahashi. It is evident that Undercover is heavily influenced by punk as the culture has played a big role in Jun’s life.

Ross tries to look into what is not celebrated enough in fashion in regards to materials and visual language. Each garment is hand-dyed and handcrafted.
Ross adds the logos and details by himself. This helps with the brand’s personal feel.
The brand acts as a platform for direct communication with its audience. The fact that Ross’s own lived experiences and reflections of the narratives of his peers serve as an influence for the brand.
Founded by Tetsu Nishiyama in Japan in 1996, WTAPS the name in which is a reference to the military shooting technique. The brand has used its many influences, such as historic military garb.
It also uses outdoor clothing and punk and skateboard cultures to remain at the forefront of the Japanese streetwear scene. The label pushes the boundaries of streetwear as a whole.
Tet’s love for military stylings heavily influences WTAPS. You can see in their early collections that feature a plethora of all things military. Although to the untrained eye, this may just look like military surplus garb.
17. Heron Preston
It’s safe to say that Heron Preston is a brand as well as Heron Johnson as a person as a jack of all trades. Heron has cemented himself as an icon for the youth through his various artistic escapades.

Utility jackets, windbreakers, and layering give the brand its own very refined aesthetic. There’s definitely a classy feel to it rather than a “bougie, nasty and ratchet” feel.
Although the brand is still relatively new, its influence and significance are already felt in and among streetwear and men’s fashion realms alike.
2014 was when the brand debuted its first collection. It included a logo crewneck, jogging pants, vest, bombers, a wool trench coat, and other garments. These went on to become brand staples.

Top College Coaches Under 40
July 13, 2012Eastern Indiana Sports
What would recent Final Fours be without Butler and VCU? And how boring would college football be without coaches like Lane Kiffin and Pat Fitzgerald.
There’s an intriguing youth movement afoot in college sports where Butler’s Brad Stevens and VCU’s Shaka Smart, both under the age of 40, have reached the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament and subsequently turn down big-time jobs to continue building their mid-major programs.
In football, Kiffin, at age 37 and on his third head coaching job, has gone from being an annoyance to his rival coaches (and at one time, his owner) to being the coach of Athlon Sports’ preseason No. 1 team. If USC delivers on the preseason ranking, Kiffin will be among the youngest in either sport to win a national title, though the youngest remains Clemson’s Danny Ford, who won the national title weeks after his 34th birthday.
In addition to Stevens, Smart and Kiffin, here are our picks for the top college football and men’s basketball coaches under 40.
Note: For the sake of clarity and consistency, we are listing all ages as of Sept. 1, 2012.
1. Brad Stevens
Team: Butler basketball
Before the 2009-10 season, Stevens could have been mistaken for an assistant or team manager. After back-to-back national championship games with Butler, he’s on the short list of top coaches in the game. In 2010, the 33-year-old Stevens became the second-youngest coach to reach the Final Four since 1972. Indiana’s Bob Knight was 32 when he reached his first Final Four in 1973. A year later, he became the only coach since 1972 to reach the Final Four twice before his 35th birthday. Beyond the NCAA Tournament success, Stevens holds records for most wins in his first five (139), first four (117) and first three (89) seasons.

Hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. As for me, I was "working" on a birthday cake for a cute little girl turning one. It was a 3D Elmo cake. I was so excited for this project since I'll be using a new medium for sculpting Elmo. In Manila, most bakers usually use a styofoam or pure fondant/gumpaste in making 3D figures. But here in the US, most cake decorators would prefer using rice krispies because of the ease of handling/manipulating this medium. So, after researching for some recipes and pictures of Elmo, I decided to try my hand on sculpting Elmo out of the rice krispies. I must say that the process was very easy and the results were impressive. I let Elmo dry for 3 days before piping his fur with red royal icing. I was happy how Elmo turned out. The heart and one figures were made of gumpaste. And for the bottom tier, it was a 12" cake covered with 2 layers of fondant. The blue fondant was rolled over an imprint mat from Wilton. The cake's flavor was a moist chocolate cake with a devil's food chocolate mousse and crumb coated with vanilla buttercream. Elmo was delivered to Long Island, NY.

Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively appears on the cover of Glamour magazine’s July 2011 issue wearing a Michael Kors tunic dress and a set of Lorraine Schwartz bracelets. Inside, she chats with singer and friend Florence Welch (of Florence & The Machine) about what it is like to be the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag collection and choosing to go without a stylist.
On being chosen to be the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line: “It’s such an honor. When I found out I got [the job], you and I went to dinner and concocted this plan, like two little girls at a tea party, saying, ‘Oh, it would be the best if we had a party. And you’ll perform, and we’ll do it in Paris.’ Like you and I were in charge of Chanel!”
On being her own stylist: “You know, my mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design. And then Gossip Girl completely blew open the door to fashion for me. I’d go to fashion shows and call my publicist and say, ‘Can I wear that?’ I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better. And once I was told it was time to get one, I thought: This is one of my favorite hobbies! And I’m going to pay someone to steal my hobby from me? That’s a terrible idea!”
Also inside this issue: a summer beauty guide, a “how to look chic in lace” report, and notes on how to pick flattering shorts. For more, pick up your own copy of Glamour’s July 2011 issue when it arrives on newsstands on June 7, or head to Glamour.com.

MOSCOW, February 16. /TASS/. Ukrainian forces plan to close Maryinka border checkpoint starting from February 17, the headquarters of the military operation in Donbass wrote on its Facebook page on Tuesday.
"The decision to temporarily close the checkpoint from February 17 was made to stabilize the situation in the aforementioned region," the statement said.
Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council already closed Maryinka checkpoint on February 13 saying it was necessary to ensure safety of local residents. However, cars were allowed to pass the checkpoint to and from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on the next day.
Kiev previously closed border checkpoints in Zaytsevo and Mayorsk. DPR defense ministry spokesman Eduard Barusin said earlier that Ukrainian authorities engage in open terror against Donbass residents by closing border checkpoints and mining roads. "Ukrainian commanders have in fact engaged in standards of open terror against Donbass residents and full blockade of DPR and LPR (self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic). Kiev does not only close border checkpoints but also mines busy roads and pedestrian lanes used only by peaceful citizens," Donetsk News Agency quoted Basurin as saying.

Members of the Royal Family are said to be shocked at the 'breach of trust' represented by Meghan Markle's friend breaking news of 'unproductive' talks between Princes Charles, William and Harry.
On Tuesday, Meghan's close friend Gayle King appeared on CBS's This Morning programme, and spoke about royal relations since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex gave their explosive tell-all interview to Oprah Winfrey.
Today's top videos
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
During the interview, Harry and Meghan dropped several bombshells about their experience over the last few years, notably opening up about racism within the Royal Family and the British tabloid press.
Ms King said: ‘I’m not trying to break news, but I did actually call them [the Sussexes] to see how they were feeling, and it’s true, Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too.
‘The word I was given was that those conversations were not productive. But they are glad they have at least started a conversation.’
Ms King added: ‘And I think what is still upsetting to them is the palace keep saying they want to work it out privately, but yet, they believe these false stories are coming out that they are very disparaging against Meghan, still.
‘No one in the Royal Family has talked to Meghan yet, at this particular time. And I think it’s frustrating for them to see that it’s a racial conversation about the Royal Family when all they wanted all along is for the royals to intervene and tell the press to stop with the unfair, inaccurate, false stories that definitely have a racial slant.
‘And until you can acknowledge that, I think it’s going to be hard to move forward. But they both want to move forward with this and they both want healing in this family. At the end of the day, that is Harry’s family.’
According to The Sun, royal insiders claim that Ms King's remarks have been viewed as a 'shocking breach of trust', as it is understood that the usually 'private' Meghan may have tasked her friend with breaking the news.Royal biographer Penny Junor stated: 'It's a shocking breach of trust. The family will worry that anything they say to Harry will end up on American television.'

Walmart has opened up on the thinking behind its $15 billion majority investment in Flipkart, and perhaps the most interesting facet is that the retailer plans to export ideas from the Indian e-commerce firm to the rest of its global business, including the U.S..
Walmart’s decision to follow Amazon into India is a testament to huge potential growth in the market. Internet penetration is tipped to cross 500 million this year and a rising middle-class emerging, all of which led Walmart CEO Doug McMillon to describe the deal as “a unique opportunity in a market with significant long-term growth prospects” — but the aspirations run further.
“At Walmart, we’re learning how to build — and how to partner to build — retail ecosystems around the world. India will now become a key center of learning for our entire company,” he said on a call with analysts following the announcement of the deal.
McMillon credited Flipkart for more than just an e-commerce business.
The company’s verticals span electronics, fashion and more, but Flipkart’s management team consistently returned to other services including its mobile payment arm, supply chain business than does 500,000 deliveries daily and more. They also dropped a hint at the potential to do groceries in the future, for one.
That “ecosystem” play is something that is quite unique to Asia, particularly in China, and it is an area where Walmart believes it can glean operational intelligence and potential strategy for other markets, including the U.S..
“Not only is [Flipkart] innovative [with the] problem-solving culture that they have, but they are doing some great work both in the AI space, how they are using data across their platforms but particularly in terms of the payment platform that they’ve created through PhonePe,” Judith McKenna, Walmart COO, said on the call.
“All of those things we can learn from for the future and see how we can leverage those around the international markets and potentially into the US as well,” McKenna added.
That admission is notable, and it stands to reason that Walmart — a traditional offline retailer — might seek to lean on Flipkart’s technical expertise to build out its online or tech-enabled businesses elsewhere in the world, particularly with Amazon entering offline via its Whole Foods deal. That helps bring more immediate returns since, as Walmart’s executives admitted, Flipkart isn’t likely to turn a profit any time soon since it is focused on chasing scale in India.
There’s also some synergy with Walmart’s other recent star acquisition.
McKenna added that Marc Lore, the founder of Jet.com which Walmart acquired last year for $3 billion, had been involved in scouting out Walmart during due diligence. She added that, for now, he wouldn’t be a part of the Flipkart business.
“Maybe someday we might involve him, but right now there’s plenty to do in the U.S. business and that’s what he’s focused on,” McKenna concluded.
Walmart already has an international business — which includes a physical retail footprint in India — but McKenna said the management team is “very interested” in the potential to expand Flipkart outside of India to growth that global presence, presumably using many of the aforementioned learnings taken from the Indian market.
“[International expansion] aligns with the [Flipkart] management team’s ambitions, it aligns with an operating model that we [at Walmart] are comfortable with working with. There’s no timeframe on that but it’s something that for the future we are considering,” she added.
The expansion makes sense since Walmart has spent the last couple of years regrouping its global efforts. It exited China in 2016 — instead opting for a partnership with e-commerce giant JD.com — and this month it retreated from the UK after selling its Asda business to rival high-street retailer Sainsbury’s. Perhaps its time to examine upcoming markets worldwide? In which case the $16 billion Flipkart deal begins to seem a lot more strategic.

Chen, YW; Chu, HC; Ze-Shiang Lin, ; Shiah, WJ; Chou, CP; Klimstra, DS; Lewis, BC
Afficher le résumé
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Tumor dissemination to the extra-hepatic region of the portal vein, lymph nodes, lungs or bones contributes to the high mortality seen in HCC; yet, the molecular mechanisms responsible for HCC metastasis remain unclear. Prior studies have suggested a potential link between accumulated cytoplasm-localized p16 and tumor progression. Here we report that p16 enhances metastasis-associated phenotypes in HCC cells - ectopic p16 expression increased cell migration in vitro, and lung colonization after intravenous injection, whereas knockdown of endogenous p16 reduced cell migration. Interestingly, analysis of p16 mutants indicated that the Cdk4 interaction domain is required for stimulation of HCC cell migration; however, knockdown of Cdk4 and Cdk6 showed that these proteins are dispensable for this phenomenon. Intriguingly, we found that in p16-positive HCC samples, p16 protein is predominantly localized in the cytoplasm. In addition, we identified a potential role for nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling in p16-stimulated migration, consistent with the predominantly cytoplasmic localization of p16 in IHC-positive HCC samples. Finally, we determined that p16-stimulated cell migration requires the Cdc42 GTPase. Our results demonstrate for the first time a pro-migratory role for p16, and suggest a potential mechanism for the observed association between cytoplasmic p16 and tumor progression in diverse tumor types.

The Knife "Silent Shout"
Published Mar 01, 2006Stockholm, Sweden's the Knife fashion a mystical façade that captured the affection of bloggers in 2004 with their brilliant avant-pop single "Heartbeats" most recently a hit for acoustic gentleman José González. The first single from their new album, Silent Shout, veers into a darker, gothic realm; a hypnotic, dulled beat thrusts a sinfully programmed synth while Karin Dreijer Andersson's Björk-like coo is eclipsed by Olog Dreijer's Satanic tone. It's rather eerie, but no less beautiful and bewildering than before. (www.darthmahler.com/ MP3/ the_knife_silent_shout.mp3)

“Ardent supporters of R&B have been clamoring for a new heartthrob to take the genre by storm, and so far, YK Osiris is making his case to be the one to do it… with two strong singles, the Florida-based crooner is positioning himself for a long run in the genre… don’t be shocked if ’Worth It’ becomes inescapable by the end of the spring” – Billboard (Oct. 4, 2019 – New York, NY)Young King Osiris, whose career-defining double platinum signature hit “Worth It” has amassed over 500 million global streams and over 75 million combined YouTube views, commences the to the October 11th arrival of his eagerly-awaited debut album THE GOLDEN CHILD, and the October 16th opening of his next U.S. tour – with the release today of the brand new single, “Ride” featuring Kehlani.
LISTEN TO “RIDE” HERE YK returns this weekend from the UK, where he performed sold-out O2 Academy shows in London and Dublin. His 11-city U.S. tour, featuring Kevin Gates (“2 Phones”), opens October 16th at Express Live! in Columbus, OH, and wraps up at the Roseland Theater in Portland, OR on November 21st. (Please see complete itinerary below.)
It has been a meteoric 18 months for YK Osiris, since his signing to Def Jam and the release of his debut single “Valentine” in April 2018.The success of “Valentine” extended to “Run It Up” and “Timing” in 2018, and was intensified by the ‘Song Of the Summer’ success of “Worth It” and its follow-up “Freaky Dancer.” Named a VEVO LIFT artist and a VEVO DSCVR artist, YK was subsequently inducted into the prestigious XXL Freshman Class Of 2019.
On the road, YK Osiris has also emerged as a formidable draw, with three major tours under his belt. He first joined Lil Baby’s 24-city Harder Than Ever U.S. tour in August-September 2018. YK won headliner status for his own 12-city tour of the U.S. in November-December. The 16-city Worth It Tour of the U.S. followed in February-March 2019 (also with YFL Kelvin). Watch HERE for the pandemonium that erupted at YK’s New York City showcase in April.
Born in Jacksonville, FL, Osiris Williams, who turned 21 on September 7th, was savvy at a very young age about the strength of his voice, and understood how to use social media to blow up. “I knew my voice was very powerful and you can relate to it,” he says. “You be like, ‘Damn, I could feel him. I could feel his pain.’ What I went through. My veins be popping out. You can just see me and my expression.” But Jax was far from the creative hub of South Florida’s rap scene. “We don’t have a lot of resources,” he says. “We don’t have the biggest studios. We don’t have the biggest DJs. We had to make it on our own. I made it, and I got out of it.”

Colombia’s rebel-held general a bookish strategist
Sunday, 23 November 2014 23:38
The general whose capture by rebels has put Colombia’s peace talks on hold is one of the country’s foremost counterinsurgency strategists who once received his officer’s insignia from the hands of U.S. Army Gen. David Petraeus.

Zinc and iron are essential micronutrients for the growth and brain development of infants and young children.
Zinc is needed to process proteins and numerous enzymes related to metabolism and immunity. Iron is crucial for brain development. Deficiencies in these micronutrients can result in stunting and irreversible, functional alterations of the developing brain.
To address this public health problem common in low-resource settings around the world, a team of researchers set out to measure the exact amounts of zinc and iron exclusively breastfed infants receive during the first four months of age.
Their results, based on measuring both breastmilk contents and the amount of breastmilk consumed by the infants, have just been published in an open access article in Maternal & Child Nutrition: ‘Zinc and iron adequacy and relative importance of zinc/iron storage and intakes among breastfed infants’.
Before birth, the fetus receives zinc and iron via placental transfer from their mother. After birth, breastmilk is the sole supply of these micronutrients for exclusively breastfed infants. The team’s findings could help public health specialists and practitioners in the field as neonatal zinc and iron body stores are dependent on several factors, including maternal status.

The group – led by National Express' largest shareholder the Cosmen family, backed by private equity group CVC – said its bid is conditional on National Express keeping both the C2C and East Anglia franchises. The latter is currently facing a series of two-day strikes.
Adonis has taken a hard line on National Express since it withdrew from the loss-making East Coast mainline last month – after failing to renegotiate the terms of its franchise.
Yesterday National Express revealed it lost £20 million running the line between January and June.
Analysts believe that by handing the franchise back, National Express – which had paid the Government £1.4 billion to run the line from 2007 to 2014 – could limit its losses to some £60 million. Traveller numbers have slumped since the original auction for the line two years ago.
Stagecoach is meanwhile looking to buy parts of National Express from the consortium, or even bid for the whole company.Reuse content

There is one very rich homeless man in Paris. Or perhaps he has a new home somewhere else.
A man in his 50s who lived at Charles de Gaulle Airport found an unlocked door, behind which was a room full of money, authorities said.
He picked up two bags stuffed with Euros and walked right out, surveillance video showed. He got away with $324,000.
The Terminal 2F office is home to Loomis, a company that transports cash deliveries for businesses.
Police said the thief was a familiar face at the airport.
A manhunt is underway to find him.
An alarm went off at the courier office last week, authorities said. Investigators viewed video from security cameras in the area and saw the man going through trash bins. He leans against a door and looks surprised that it opened, police said. He then goes inside and returns with the bags.
He hasn't been seen since. Police have searched areas of the sprawling airport where up to 100 homeless people are known to sleep but haven't been able to find the man.
The entry to Loomis' office is normally locked and requires a security code.

Lack of attached license plates leads to Massachusetts State Police arrest, narcotics and firearm charges – New Bedford Guide
“On December 22 just before 2 a.m. Trooper Benn Pouliot, a recent graduate of the 86th Recruit Training Troop, along with his Field Training Officer, Trooper Edward Brunton, assigned to State Police-Northampton, were stationary observing traffic on Route 91 in Northampton.
At that time they observed a red Mercury sedan with no license plates attached anywhere on the vehicle. The Troopers pulled into traffic and initiated a motor vehicle stop on the Mercury just North of Exit 23 on Route 91 northbound.
Upon the vehicle coming to a full stop, the Troopers approached it and observed a piece of paper attached to the rear window with license plate numbers handwritten on it. They then made contact with the operator, identified as JEFFREY BAIRD, 41, of Springfield, Vt., and informed him why he was stopped. When asked, BAIRD could not produce a driver’s license or registration. Troopers quickly discovered that BAIRD’s license was suspended and the vehicle was unregistered. BAIRD was removed from his vehicle and placed under arrest, then seated in the rear of the cruiser.
Prior to the vehicle being towed from the scene the Troopers conducted a required inventory of its contents. During the inventory they discovered a .357 caliber revolver, along with five rounds of ammunition, and a spring-loaded knife. BAIRD does not have a license to carry firearms. Troopers then began a full search of the vehicle and located numerous pieces of drug paraphernalia, approximately 10 grams of a substance suspected to be crack cocaine, approximately 210 grams of a substance suspected to be crystal meth, a large amount of US currency, and an additional three rounds of ammunition.
BAIRD was transported to the Northampton Barracks for booking. A bail commissioner was contacted and set bail at $100,000. He was transferred to the Hampshire County House of Correction pending his arraignment at Northampton District Court on the following charges:
1. Trafficking in Methamphetamine;
2. Possession of a Class B Drug, subsequent offense;
3. Possession of a Firearm in Commission of a Felony;
4. Illegal Possession of a Firearm;
5. Illegal Possession of Ammunition;
6. Possession of Ammunition without FID Card;
7. Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Suspended License;
8. Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle; and
9. License Plate Violation.”

A 23-year-old hacker has been sent to prison after he used Trojans to pilfer eight million personal identities, according to reports.
Edward Pearson, from York, was able to acquire the data using malware like Zeus and Spyeye, taking information on credit cards, PayPal accounts as well as dates of birth, postcodes and names.
Police said he could have gotten away with £834,000 if he had used the stolen data more effectively, yet he only accrued £2,351 illicitly, York paper the Press reported.
Pearson has been jailed for 26 months, whilst girlfriend Cassandra Mennim admitted two counts of obtaining services dishonestly and was given 12 months’ supervision.
“Let this be a small reminder. You can blame a third-party for being hacked or insufficiently protected against a computer attack, but you will face quite a hassle to recuperate your losses if your details are stolen,” said Sophos’ Naked Security blogger Carole Theriault. “If you hear that a service or provider you use has been hit, change your password as soon as you are alerted.”
Police have been clamping down hard on cyber criminals of late. In mid-March, 14 were arrested over a phishing scam that saw £1 million stolen from one victim.
Earlier this week it emerged LulzSec suspect Ryan Cleary was re-arrested after he broke his bail conditions. Cleary contacted LulzSec leader Sabu over the Christmas period when he was supposed to be banned from the internet.

The American Staffordshire Terrier was first developed for disgraceful activities like dog fighting and bull-baiting. The current breed, however, is far more placid and gentle than its forefathers.
American Pit Bull Terriers, often known as pit bulls and bullies, are one of the largest yet most lovable dog breeds. These canines were once developed for strength and used in the cruel sport of bull-baiting before becoming farm dogs. This breed still exhibits the traits of a working dog today.
This breed, which originated in England as the first bull-baiting dog, dates back to the early 13th century. The English Bulldog lacks a lot of drive, in contrast to the American Bully breed. They are actually snorting, wheezing, lethargic dogs; but how can you not love them?
One of the best security dogs you can find, Doberman Pinschers have a very royal appearance and are very robust. They were raised as working canines and used to be trained to assist law enforcement. This breed was developed as a guard dog in Germany in the 1800s and has a powerful physique and intimidating characteristics.
This muscular beauty is a descendant of the old dogs of war. It requires lots of interaction and training to keep from becoming hostile or defensive. This breed may make a wonderful family and guard dog if you have the time to devote to it.
Rottweilers, which were developed in Germany, are famous for their immense physical strength. They served as security dogs, cart-pullers, and cargo carriers in addition to herding sheep. But in addition to their power, Rottweilers are also quite clever, making them easy to train and useful as guard and police dogs.
Although you would not think of the Greyhound as a muscular breed given its lean, beautiful, and slender build, these sighthounds actually have a lot of strength. The Greyhound, known for being the fastest dog breed, can run at 45 miles per hour.
Its common name accurately describes the Boxer’s athletic physique. The Boxer is a mixed breed with strong endurance levels and high intellect that was originally bred as a hunting dog.
An amalgam of the American Bulldog, American Staffordshire Terrier, Olde English Bulldog, and American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Bully is a relatively recent breed. Although this breed resembles a Pitbull in appearance, it is really a completely distinct breed that was created in the 1980s.
The Dogo Argentino dog breed was developed for its fearlessness and was usually employed for hunting large game like wild boar. It is a highly athletic and courageous breed. Today, the military and police utilize them in search and rescue operations because of their great intelligence. They are also fantastic show dogs and guard dogs.


Tell us about your job…
Mike Dougherty (St Paul, Minnesota): “I have been a food and beverage vendor since 1989 when I started at the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Coincidentally the first day I vended was the same day as my first day of classes at law school. What started out as a job to do as a fun distraction, and a little extra money, from the rigors of law school ended up being a lifelong career in and of itself.”
Randi Trent (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania): “I’m a server at the Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers. I’ve worked at the stadium for the past 19 years. I love my job. I feed the press box, the cameramen, and work the VIP lounge.”
Duane Thwaites (Miami, Florida): “I’m a father of four. Three boys, one girl. My girl is 11 soon to be 12. My youngest son is 19, he’s away in college. My other children are older and they living in Atlanta. I am … I guess the reality is I am homeless. I sleep on the floor in a warehouse, downtown Miami, in the Little Haiti area. I’ve worked at Marlins Park at a concession stand for eight years, this will be the beginning of the ninth season.”
How much of your livelihood depends on this job?
Mike Dougherty: “There have been years where vending has earned me more than lawyering. Now about a third of my annual income is from vending. Vending has its up and down years depending on attendance and fan enthusiasm for the teams. This year, we were especially looking forward to the baseball season as the Minnesota Twins won their division last year and prospects were high for another good year. From what I have heard through the grapevine, advanced ticket sales are way up.”
Randi Trent: “I work year-round at all three Philadelphia sports stadiums. When the basketball season ends, I start working at the Phillies Stadium, after that, it’s football. My whole income revolves around Philadelphia sports. When a team goes to the playoffs, I make more money. Now that the NBA shut down, my income has dropped to zero.”
Duane Thwaites: “I usually work during the home games. I would do 10 hours a day, easily. It’s usually between 10-12 hours a day. Some weeks I don’t work at all, and then there’s some weeks where I do three to four games a week and I do 30-something to 48 hours. The [Miami Open tennis] was a good entry into the season. It usually lasted two weeks, I’ve been doing it since it was at the Hard Rock Stadium, and after it got cancelled this year, everything pretty much went to hell.”
What is your day-to-day life like now?
Mike Dougherty: “Quiet. We are on semi self-quarantine. We leave the house to run essential errands and walk the dog. With all entertainment venues closed it’s about all we can do. We can’t visit my mother at her assisted living facility, nor do we feel we can even visit friends and other family. We are getting a few chores and projects done around the house. My wife is a night nurse so she does go to work at night as we hope enough precautions are being taken at her hospital to mitigate the risk there.”
Randi Trent: “Since getting laid off, I’ve spent a lot of time on the phone with my coworkers helping them file for unemployment. I’m trying not to stress – the utility companies are being lenient for now, but I know my bills are going to start piling up. I just came back from a medical leave so I don’t have any more savings. I’m a cancer survivor and I need healthcare. I pay $400 a month for insurance, $975 for rent. I don’t know how long I can pay my bills on unemployment.”
Duane Thwaites: “Right now? A lot of uncertainty. During the offseason, I normally go to my 70-year-old mom’s house to take showers. Now I have to find another alternative to do that. I used to have an alternative where I had a gym membership and went to the gym to work out, but now all the gyms are closed, and so I’m caught in a really hard place for something as simple as taking a shower. Plus, the uncertainty really has me because I don’t know what’s going to happen next. There’s no money. AT&T still want their money for this phone, my car insurance still needs to be paid, and there’s no money coming in, there’s no work. Everything is still up in the air. People are saying we gonna get money, but nobody’s explaining how or when.”
Have you received help from teams or owners?
Mike Dougherty: “I have not received any word about the teams, employers, or athletes reaching out to help. I am kind of encouraged by words that some teams are stepping up, Mark Cuban [of the Dallas Mavericks] and Glen Taylor of the Minnesota Timberwolves are individual owners I have heard say they are going to do something. But as for the teams I work with, the Twins, the Wild, and the Vikings, I have not heard anything about offers of assistance.”
Randi Trent: “No. I was on the shuttle back to the employee parking lot when I heard the news from a coworker that the NBA suspended the season. The next day I learned that the Wells Fargo Center was closed until further notice. We’re waiting to hear what will happen next.”
Duane Thwaites: “We were informed via email. I believe it was last Thursday, saying it was official. We were actually in the process of training for the upcoming season. The [baseball] season was supposed to start on the 26th [of March] We just started basic training, alcohol, food, customer service training, and they only did two days, which was Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday got canceled and Thursday morning we got an email saying everything was canceled indefinitely. Nobody called or spoke to us directly.”
What other job prospects do you have?
Mike Dougherty: “As far as vending goes there are none. We can only wait until the crises ends. I do believe that when the games do start again, it will be a much-needed sign of a return to normalcy. Personally, I also am not sure if the agencies I work through for my day job will be manning any projects during this, and I don’t know if I will be able to find any ancillary legal work I do, such as writing wills and reviewing contracts at a time when people may have more on their minds. But as my wife is in an essential health job she will be working so I take some solace that we will make it through. My bigger concern is with my fellow vendors and stadium workers, many of whom are more dependent on this work than I am.”
Randi Trent: “Where am I going to get a job? I’ve been a server my whole career. No restaurants are open, let alone hiring anyone. I know that everyone is suffering right now and there’s nothing my employer can do about the pandemic. But it’s hard to be left in the lurch with no income. I know some teams have stepped up to the plate to pay their stadium workers and it would mean a lot to see that happen in Philadelphia.”
Duane Thwaites: “It’s the reality for many of us that work these types of jobs, especially with the kind of work I’m doing. I have background issues, it’s not easy for me to get a job, so I really don’t know what’s left for me. I know some of my coworkers are just hoping that other part-time jobs will call them back to work, but for me there isn’t too many at this moment.”
Editor’s note: since the subjects of this article were interviewed, it was announced that some, but not all, workers at the Wells Fargo Center will be paid for games postponed during March. Aramark, who employ Randi Trent, are not currently offering vending staff compensation during the shutdown.

She was so vital. Even though she had two children, she seemed fresh and young—as if she were just out of school. She was successful too. The aerobic workshop she taught was adopted by our local pro football team. And on top of everything, she had a husband who loved her.
Then she hurt her back.
When the pain wouldn’t go away, she followed the advice of her doctor and had back surgery. In that surgery something terrible happened. Nerves were inadvertently cut. When she came out of surgery she learned that the pain would still be with her. And that she had lost bowel and bladder control. And lost the ability to even move about, except with a clumsy metal walker.
Desperately she went to the best hospitals in our state and to others. The doctors just shook their heads. There was nothing they could do. Not now. With the slip of the surgeon’s knife, he stole her future.
All too many of us know what it is to have our future stolen. The things we’ve planned and looked forward to can be taken by a loved one’s death. By a lost job. By an illness. By war, fire, or theft. There are no guarantees given to any of us for what tomorrow may hold.
But still, no one can really steal our future. Yes, people like that surgeon can steal tomorrow. But beyond tomorrow you and I have treasures that no one can touch. In the words of Isaiah, we look forward to a time when “the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.”
How good to remember when someone or some event steals tomorrow, that beyond tomorrow, our eternal future remains secure.

SANTA ANA, Calif. – An IRS agent who conducts audits of taxpayers has agreed to plead guilty to cheating on his own taxes.
In a plea agreement filed Monday in a U.S. District Court in Orange County, 43-year-old Jim H. Liu of Diamond Bar admitted that he filed a tax return claiming a loss on a real estate transaction when he in fact saw a large profit.
He pleaded guilty to one federal count of subscribing to a false tax return, a charge that carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.
According to the plea agreement, Liu made a profit of more than $48,000 on the sale of a property in Pomona in 2002, but reported a loss of $4,200 on his taxes.
The tax loss to the government was more than $14,000.

The government of Colombian President Gustavo Petro and the Colombian Federation of Livestock Farmers (FEDEGÁN), on Saturday October 8, signed an agreement that would allow extensive implementation of the much-needed and long-delayed agrarian reform in the country.
According to the agreement signed by President Petro, Agriculture Minister Cecilia López Montaño and the FEDEGÁN’s president José Félix Lafaurie, the national government will purchase three million hectares of productive land from cattle ranchers, who are willing to sell their lands, at a fair price with the purpose of redistributing them to peasant families without land or with insufficient land.
With the agreement, the Petro administration made progress on two of its election promises, seeking social justice and consolidating peace in the country. The agreement enables the implementation of the Comprehensive Rural Reform, which fulfills the first point of the Havana peace agreements signed with the demobilized FARC guerilla group in November 2016.
Human rights defender and Senator Iván Cepeda explained that “the comprehensive nature of the reform consists of the commitment not only to deliver land, but also to guarantee the conditions of productivity, access routes to markets, agricultural inputs, which make the project viable and sustainable in the long term.”
President Petro, on his Twitter account, hailed the signing of the agreement and described it as “historic,” adding that “social pact and peace are possible.”
The FEDEGÁN, founded in 1963 in defense of private property against the then expropriatory agrarian reform, also deemed the agreement “historic.” FEDEGÁN’s president Lafaurie praised the conciliatory attitude of the Petro administration.
“The government could do it without us or, even, against us, but it has decided to do it with us, and this inclusion has an importance that we cannot measure right now,” said Lafaurie in a statement. He added that “FEDEGÁN has never been against the peasant’s right to own lands, accompanied by conditions that make them truly productive.”
The agreement is indeed remarkable given the staunch opposition by the conservative FEDEGÁN against the land distribution section of the Havana peace agreements. The Federation had criticized Petro’s campaign promises to fully comply with the 2016 peace agreements to achieve “total peace” and introduce an agrarian reform to fight high levels of inequalities and unproductiveness in the sector.

— Gustavo Petro (@petrogustavo) October 8, 2022
Petro’s agrarian reform
In Colombia, 0.4% of the population owns 46% of rural land. Cattle ranchers are among the largest owners of large extensions of land. During his election campaign, Petro vowed to introduce an agrarian reform to address one of the country’s deepest problems.
Last month, on September 21, the government began the first phase of redistribution of lands, with delivery of property titles to peasants, indigenous communities and Afro-descendants. In this phase, which will run until November 15, a total of 680,000 hectares of land will be delivered to 12,600 families in 19 of the country’s 32 departments.
The second phase will begin soon after, in which the government will lease 125,000 hectares confiscated from drug traffickers to peasant organizations. During the third phase, the government will sell 5 million hectares, bought from ranchers and other large landowners, at a lower price to people who work in agriculture or in small and medium businesses.
Petro’s peace process
Since its inauguration in early August, the national government has been constantly working to meet its commitments to end the violence in the country. This agreement is the latest achievement of the new peace process led by the Petro administration. It is significant for the peace talks that the government seeks to reopen with FARC dissidents, who returned to armed struggle in August 2019, following the violation of the peace agreements by the government of former conservative President Iván Duque.
The signing of the agreement between the government and the FEDEGÁN was celebrated by human right activists.
Human rights activist Carlos Velandia, praising the agreement, said that “the purchase agreement will allow the country to advance in social justice, strengthen the peasant economy, food sovereignty, reduce 14 million tons of food imports, lower the cost of living and achieve peace and equity.”
Jorge Rojas Rodríguez, human rights defender and founder of the Consultancy for Human Rights and Displacement (CODHES), also described the agreement as “historic.” “The agreement was built recognizing diversity, respecting differences and seeking a common country agenda. This agreement constitutes a real advance in a purpose that has been postponed so many times: an agrarian reform in Colombia,” tweeted Rodríguez.
In another tweet, he added that the agreement “highlights the democratic spirit of president Gustavo Petro, represents a powerful advance for comprehensive rural reform, promotes implementation of the peace agreement, and opens possibilities to overcome causes of conflict and drug trafficking.”
Luis Emil Sanabria Duran, human rights activist and founder of Redepaz, also welcomed the news. “Total Peace is everyone’s commitment, this agreement with FEDEGÁN shows that the inclusion of those who think differently is possible and necessary. The way to Comprehensive Rural Reform has opened, which will fully complement the delivery of land. The land will belong to all those who work on it, live on it, enjoy it and respect it,” Sanabria Duran wrote in a thread.

Cellular Safety Shelters Allow TB Agent To Survive In Infected Individuals
- November 19, 2008
- Public Library of Science
- "Foamy" macrophage formation may be the key to persistence of infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis, explains a new study in PLoS Pathogens. These immunity-related cells are shown to be a safety reservoir where the bacterium can hide for years in infected individuals, before inducing an active disease.
"Foamy" macrophage formation may be the key to persistence of infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis, explains a new study. These immunity-related cells are shown to be a safety reservoir where the bacterium can hide for years in infected individuals, before inducing an active disease.
According to the research group led by Frederic Altare, the tubercle bacillus circumvents the host immune response by inducing the transformation of aggressive immune cells into a non-aggressive refuge where it is able to survive and have access to large sources of nutrients.
Mtb is responsible for a dramatic global health problem. The World Health Organization has estimated that this pathogen infects one third of the human population and causes three million deaths annually. Most individuals remain asymptomatic for several years before developing an active disease. In such individuals, it is generally admitted that the bacilli are not cleared but rather persist in a dormant state. One of the main goals of TB research is to understand how and where the bacilli survive within infected hosts.
Using a recently developed in vitro assay mimicking the human host immune response, the researchers observed that Mtb uses some of its cell surface constituents to induce the transformation of macrophages (which are supposed to internalize and kill infecting bacteria), into "foamy" cells. These cells have lost their killing ability and have accumulated large amounts of lipids, the main nutrient for internalized Mtb. They further observed that Mtb remained alive within these cells, and switched into a dormant state.
This observation may direct novel research towards the elucidation of tubercle bacillus survival mechanisms. This study also helps explain the role of a previously uncharacterized cell population participating in the human response to Mtb. "Foamy" macrophages may prove to be a useful tool for the development of new antimicrobial drugs targeted to kill the bug directly within its natural shelter.
