This is the second in a series on Human Brand | defining the inextricable link between people, founding vision and the brands that they produce.
“As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.”
I’m fascinated by people. I like to simply watch them, look at them, listen to them. I learned this trait from my mother, I’m guessing — she too savored the art — the “watching” of them. People watching.
In the years of watching people, working around, through and with solutions to bridge the link between product, offering and resonance — and people, I’ve found that there are certain connections that are ever present.
People get bored; people get captivated — by what they do.
A state of persistent happiness — and the passion that drives a connection between the heart, action in work — and living; that somehow, these are joyously combined.
I’d offer, that more often than not, brands that are human — human brands — actually live in a state of flow. A person that drives the soul of holistic experientialism in the human brand, living and learning in comprehensive experience also self captivates — what they do is what they are. They are in flow.
I’d proffer that Tom Ford, as human brand — and the others in the series that I’ll be exploring — is drawn, are driven by, this kind of actualizing energy. Doing is being.
So in the history of Tom Ford, it’s really about that proposition: doing — in being; and repeating that exploration — the story in history:
I’ve talked to Tom, to learn more. And I’ve spoken with his colleague, Shirin Von Wulffen, as well.
Tom Ford, under the leadership of Dawn Mello’s chief executive counsel, revitalized Gucci in the 90s, engaging in a transformation of the dormant — then historically “styled” — line into one of the preeminent, hot fashion groups. Tom was simultaneously directing the creative evolutions of YSL — being the first creative director of that enterprise after the retirement of Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent.
With a breakdown in negotiations with Gucci leadership in 2003, Ford and business partner, Domenico De Sole, settled their closures and departed the Gucci Group.
There were renewed actions immediately — a cosmetics fragrance collaboration with Esteé Lauder, product development — as well as a line of sunglasses, both successful but in no way comparable to the designer’s former level of prestige and influence. That, however, was hardly a stopping point. Rather, a catapult to expanded action.
However, Tom Ford now seems poised to once again summit the fashion branded architecture with his latest venture: a line of luxury men’s accessories. This array of offerings — headed by Savile Row-inspired suits and bespoke tailoring, and a flagship store in New York, quickly catalyzed in installations expanding elsewhere. The opening shop – described to WWD by Tommy Fazio, men’s fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman as “the best execution — mixing Old World haberdashery with a modernistic…” appraisal.
Ford’s cache with the fashion buying and design hungry elite that at the initial presentation of the concept in his Milan showroom in late 2006, retailers attending the presentation were only briefed on the concept — and the marketing plan. While they were prepped — no actual product was shown…and were still ready to sign on for the line of offerings. Even Karl Lagerfeld has a stake in the evolving character of Tom Ford:
Linda Fargo, the fashion director for Bergdorf Goodman, told the New York Post. “Tom is such a talent that everyone’s hot to get their arms around what he’s doing,”
But that effort isn’t happening alone — there’s a supporting legation of partners: Ford and De Sole are linked to global luxury heavyweights Lane Crawford Joyce Group (Asia), Villa Moda and UAE Trading (Middle East), Mercury (Russia), Trois Pommes (Switzerland), Daslu (Brazil), Harrods (London), and the Neiman Marcus Group (U.S.)
A powerhouse marketing collective, the group plans to gold-plate the globe with the Tom Ford brand of old-world indulgence – envision entirely hand-made, customized suits, all types of ready to wear Ford lines, specially fabricated shirts and matching undergarments, lushly (and personally) monogrammed men’s velvet slippers with embroidery – sprouting from 100 shop-in-shop, as well as freestanding stores over the next decade, franchise stores in Moscow, Zurich, St. Moritz, Hong Kong, Beijing, Kuwait, Dubai and Qatar, and a Milan flagship. Speaking of holism, Tom’s brand intelligence deeply extends into everything he can touch — and in speaking with his global publicist, Shirin Von Wulffen, a friend of mine from Yves Saint Laurent, his sense of the handmade, the hand-touched, is profound. Besides his presence in the hand made tailoring of his more expensive offerings, his bespoke suits, Tom’s touchpoints extend to the care of his retail interiors. Along with his long time collaborator in retail design, William Sofield, his retail spaces are intensely personal — his home:
“It is great to be doing something that is purely 100% my own taste, my own vision, my own creation from the ground up.”
The brand began in NYC — Dawn Mello’s (his friend and collaborator from the Gucci days) founding habitue, the brand starting as an exclusive to an in-store shop in NYC’s Bergdorf Goodman for a year, then, and now — the global rollout machine has kicked into action. In-store shops are being built, or planned for Harrods in London, Daslu in Sao Paulo, Moscow and Joyce Boutique stores in both Tokyo and Osaka.
“Retail design has always been significant in helping to define a brand and has become more important than ever as the entire luxury industry has become more homogenised. More than ever, the brand experience is, in part, determined by the retail space.”
The acquisitive purchase power of the Asian market is so impressive that almost 90 franchised Tom Ford stores are planned for the region, including Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia.
On that front:
“This is a great day for us as we have now laid the foundation necessary to become a true global luxury brand,”
Ford recently told WWD.
“The plan will allow us the platform needed to reach and service our customers worldwide.” This modeling, unsupported, is dangerously risky — especially now. But the character of Tom Ford is more about engagement — and connecting with his audiences — in an increasingly intimate modeling of relationships with guests. Person to person. There are no online sales at tom.ford.com.
Writer and interviewer Bridget Foley, exploring the later legacy of his efforts — and the conclusions of his role with Gucci creative direction, his break with PPR, the holding Luxury entity,
“Money had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was about control.”
And that’s part of the founding premise of the human brand — that the premise of the brand is about — it’s about defining the character of the brand in a way that is nearly genetic; there are Tom Ford brand “chromosomal” codes to the brand that are infiltrating virtually every portal of expression. Everything you touch everything you experience, is Tom Ford. The evidence touchpoint, the persona of the man — the human brand.
This modeling, shown above and below, this exploration reflects that.
I’ve talked about this concept of brand coding in presentations and online, for some time. And what I’m looking at is the idea of the power of the person, integrated to experience.
There is a cult in the culture of the brand; there is a captivating story, that lends humanistic narrative dimension — there is the premise of the person — who? This is the founding driver of the brand — that leverages the beauty of engagement, the emotional gift of the offering (fulfillment, satisfaction, alignment, personal emulation and aspiration, archetypal connection) — and finally, the reflective corollary. What is given, what is given back — if there’s a good story, a connected sharing — it’s reflected, one to another.
Expanding on theories of legacy — and truth, for that matter — there is the matter of evolution. How does the viability of brand act in the framing of time? Time tells — stories are built. And there is authenticity in the telling — that evolution in truth. The character is evolving.
“My 10-year plan now is very different from what my 10-year plan was 10 years ago. There’s a nice quote I came across a while ago that says, “Midlife is when you get to the top of a ladder only to realize you’ve had the ladder against the wrong wall.” Now, that probably happened to me a few years ago — meaning when I left Gucci.
A lot of what has driven my life was coming to not necessarily a midlife crisis, because I was very happy with everything that I had accomplished, but maybe a sort of midlife lack of fulfillment in certain ways, and it redirected my life — redirected my business life by making me understand that work wasn’t really about making money, getting ahead. You know, all the things that we’re taught as kids. But work should really be something that you love to do, and through this I realized all along I had been working because I liked to design things. I like the challenge of it. So I realized that.
Then I tried to think about how I can do this where I take away all the parts that I don’t like, such as waking up in the morning and having to read the review in the [International] Herald Tribune about whether the collection was good or bad. I hate all that stuff. I really hate it. I really like making the product. But believe it or not, I don’t like talking to journalists. I don’t like posing for pictures. I don’t like all the stuff that’s now around fashion. I still do it because it’s part of my business — you’ve got to communicate to the customer. Before I was driven by “Be successful, be successful, be successful.” It was a different kind of drive from what I feel now.” (Time Magazine)
And plans, as they must on an increasingly accelerated pace, change and tune to the person that drives the brand — it’s about flow, in being, in creating, in working:
So my 10-year plan now is kind of spiritual. Now you’re really going to think I’ve lost my mind! My 10-year plan now is more focused on my personal relationships, my personal life, my family. It’s a different phase of my development. It’s focused on business too. It’s focused on things like making movies, which I’m not going to make any money doing, but it’s creatively something that excites me and fuels my mind. With relationship to my men’s business, I did what I did out of a real need, a niche in the market, something that I personally wanted. (Time Magazine)
Tom moves to articulating his theory about brand, stardom and story.
“A star becomes a star because what they do sells and because they perform.”
And that is continuity, performance, contributions and foundations.
On the visualization of brand, in story, in design and visible language:
“It’s really that there is a point of view. There is a vision today that is a summation of the last 10 years of my saying yes to this and no to that. There is a personality. There is a point of view and it is consistent. You can like it or not like it, but it is a point of view.”
And this was another challenge to the modeling of Tom’s continuing work with, for Gucci — and Pinault, Printemps & Redoute; the retaining of the emotional heart of leadership, the core drive of the brand storied visioning.
Miuccia Prada (Photo: WWD.com)
In referencing the designspirit of Prada (and some remarks that PPR leadership had offered) Serge Weinberg: “no one talks about Miuccia Prada. No one knows it’s she who designs the brand.” And if there’s no link, then the humanity of the connection is dissipated.
Tom comments again to the focus, Prada humanbrand:
“Miuccia has a point of view, a vision with a purpose. Not only am I a great fan of what she does from a design standpoint, but a great fan in terms of the way she has been able to pinpoint her vision with Prada.”
The point is the visioning of the legacy — and the human brand leadership that equates vision, design production and making the relationship: her point of view permeates through every corner of that company, but many people who buy Prada goods don’t know that. Story, be told. “There is a point of view, there is a focus, and that’s what comes from the designer”, that role of leadership forces a kind of storytelling capacity: “It takes a large set of skills to be a chief designer of a company. You have to be a talented designer but that’s only part of it. You also have to be articulate. You have to understand how to work with people. You have to have a vision and a point of view.”
I’m a commercial fashion designer. I never pretended to be anything other than that.
Aside from motion pictures, that is.
Ford is getting the die, cast in place, and settled for his long-awaited move into movies.
Ford, trying now his hand in Hollywood, announced, Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2008, his first deal to direct a film. “A Single Man,” starring Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode, is set to begin filming in Los Angeles, “A Single Man,” Ford’s adaptation of a Christopher Isherwood novel.
Late October (2008) was the opening production date. The story, published in 1964, the novel centers on a gay man who, after the sudden death of his partner, is determined to persist in his usual routine, which is seen in the span of a single, ordinary day in southern California.
Firth is the gay man, an Englishman and professor who feels like an outsider in Los Angeles. Goode is the boyfriend who dies in a car accident and appears in flashbacks. Moore plays a friend of the professor.
Supporting this move, Ford, who earlier this year ranked 12th in a list of the 49 men who most influenced the way other men thought, behaved and shopped, adapted the screenplay for the independently financed project with David Scearce. Fade to Black is the production company that has been formed by Ford. More, to movies — here aligned to fashion.
James Bond 007 always is the epitome of coolness, savoring the finer things in life from suits, to the latest gadgets, but what is hard to miss in the latest Bond film “James Bond 007 Quantum of Solace” are his Limited Edition Tom Ford James Bond 007 TF108 shades.
This undated photo below provided by Tom Ford shows Daniel Craig in a tuxedo designed by Tom Ford. Along with sports cars, gadgets and sex appeal, an impeccable sense of holistically defined style is the benchmark of the now 46-year-old James Bond movie franchise — the alignment is perfected. Besides Ford’s friendship with Craig, there is another component — to the premises of the human brand; the Bond brand fits precisely the ethos of Tom’s emerging legacy.
There are a clear grouping of attributes that guide the character of this human brand. But it’s interesting to consider the framing of this humanly defined brand — the genetics of its explication — from the perspective of a designer. Working in the brand space as a designer it’s rare to find such comprehensive thoughtfulness. But that’s the character I find, and found, in my conversations with Tom and his team — thought fullness.
Articulate. Careful. Methodical. Ambitious. And willing to risk creatively in the leap to advance the brand, which is…himself.
“The progression of my work as a designer very much follows the progression of myself as a person. As I grow older, I see myself and the world differently. I have different role models and different values. Authenticity has become increasingly important to me in my life and in my work.”

Rich, the work. Refined, the man. Defined, the brand.

Will Cincinnati high schools find success in field hockey tournament?
It might be a small bracket for the Ohio High School Athletic Association's (OHSAA) field hockey tournament, but Cincinnati has schools that can pack some punch.
The field hockey tournament opens Monday with No. 2 Mount Notre Dame hosting No. 8 Talawanda. The tournament will continue with one game over each of the next three days when No. 5 Oakwood hosts No. 6 Summit Country Day, No. 1 Ursuline Academy hosts No. 7 Kettering Fairmont and No. 3 Indian Hill hosts No. 4 St. Ursula.
Mount Notre Dame has had the most recent success, going to the state semifinals last year, where the eventual state champions shut out the Cougars.
The Cougars were seeded behind Ursuline Academy but went 1-0-1 against the conference rival in the regular season. The teams played to a scoreless tie on Sept. 10 before Mount Notre Dame won 1-0 on Oct. 13.
Summit Country Day and Oakwood will meet in round one but played each other to a 1-1 tie when the teams met to end the regular season.
The winner of the Southwest bracket would face the winner of the Northeast bracket in the state semifinal, helping avoid the central region teams that usually dominate the state tournament.
The top seeds of the Northeast region are No. 1 Hudson and No. 2 Rocky River Magnificat. No. 3 Shaker Heights won the state championship in 2014, making it the most recent non-central region team to take the title.
A team from Cincinnati hasn't advanced to the state finals since 2010 when St. Ursula beat Thomas Worthington 1-0 to win the state championship, becoming the first and only Greater Cincinnati team to win a field hockey state championship.
The state tournament semifinals are scheduled for Nov. 5 and the finals on Nov. 7, both at Thomas Worthington High School.

Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers for Season 5 of The Circle.
The Netflix reality show The Circle has never been an outright dating show. However, that hasn't stopped players from building what they believe to be romantic connections with each other. Usually those connections are between a player and a catfish, so nothing really comes of them. But in Season 5, Marvin and Raven have a genuine romantic connection. So, are they dating now?
Season 5 is marketed as a season full of singles, whether the "single" players are really available in real life or not. And, while we get flirting from multiple players, what Raven and Marvin build seems pretty special. And fans want to know now if it goes beyond the walls of their respective Circle apartments.
Are Raven and Marvin from 'The Circle' dating now?
Fans who are up-to-date on The Circle and have watched Season 5 up until this point know how far Raven and Marvin have come. But, sadly, they also know how far the would-be couple has fallen.
After a newbie entered The Circle, Marvin expressed interest in her and he became a two woman man. Because of this, Raven explains on the show, she doesn't know if she can trust him.
And, judging by their Instagram activity after filming, it doesn't look like Marvin and Raven had what it takes to bring their Circle romance out into the real world. In a previous interview with Distractify, fellow Season 5 contestant Chaz shared that they filmed in the summer of 2021. And in May 2022, Marvin shared a video montage on Instagram which clearly shows a woman in the background in his bedroom.
For fans who still ship Raven and Marvin as a couple, the mystery woman doesn't appear to be our blue-haired heroine of The Circle. It's unclear who the woman is, or if she and Marvin are together now.
However, it doesn't look like Marvin and Raven are together, even if their showmance on The Circle starts off on the right foot.
On the other side of the coin, we also know Marvin isn’t dating anyone else from the show. Newbie Tamira, who he also has a crush on, is actually a woman named Tasia who is catfishing as the 22-year-old cosmetologist. So it appears that Marvin leaves the show as single as he was when he started filming.
Marvin betrays Raven's trust during Season 5 of 'The Circle.'
Things are great between Marvin and Raven up until she learns that he pursued another woman behind her back on The Circle. Like we said, The Circle isn't a dating show. But Marvin calls Raven his "queen" and expresses genuine interest in her beyond the show. So for him to completely betray her trust, it may be something that Raven can't look past out in the real world.
Fans still can't help but root for the pair as a Circle power couple. But the show is likely where this potential couple ends, as much as viewers would love to see them work IRL.

Why is O 2 bigger than F
Explanation: From top to bottom of the periodic table ions will increase in radii.
However, now left to right the radius is more of a function of the number of electrons.
Similarly, O2- will be larger than F- as both have 10 electrons but Z=8 for oxygen and Z=9 for fluorine..
What is the ionic radius of mg2+
Metallic, Covalent and Ionic Radii(r)*Atom/Ionr(pm)Lu3+86Mg160Mg2+72Mn13721 more rows
How do you compare ionic radius
The units are in picometres≡10−12⋅m . Because atomic radii are reasonably defined by the radius of the valence, the outermost electron, and thus with RESPECT TO THE PARENT ATOM, CATIONS are SMALLER (because they have been OXIDIZED), and ANIONS ARE LARGER (cos’ they have been reduced).
What is the atomic radius of RB
290 pmRubidium/Van der Waals radius
Which elements have larger ionic radius than atomic radius
Anion or negative ion: An atoms gains one or more electrons to form an anion, making the ion larger than the neutral atom. Nonmetals often form anions, so their ionic radius tends to be larger than their atomic radius. This is particularly noticeable for the halogens.
Is Br or Br bigger
Br – will have the largest atomic size because Br- has one extra electron in its valence shell which due to its unbalanced negative charge will be repelled and hence the atomic radius of Br- will increase.
Which element has largest ionic radius
franciumAs can be seen in the figures below, the atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group, and decreases from left to right across a period. Thus, helium is the smallest element, and francium is the largest.
What are the units of atomic radius
The distances between atoms and ions have been determined very accurately, for example, by X-ray diffraction analysis of crystals. Typical atomic radii have values of about one or two angstrom units. (One angstrom, 1 Å, equals 10−10 metre.)
How is ionic radius different than atomic radius
Atomic and ionic radii are distances away from the nucleus or central atom that have different periodic trends. Atomic is the distance away from the nucleus. Atomic radius increases going from top to bottom and decreases going across the periodic table. Ionic radius is the distance away from the central atom.
Why the ionic radius of a Group 2 element is smaller than its atomic radius
– The valence electron shell of a Group 2 atom is lost when it becomes an ion. – A Group 2 ion has two fewer electrons than the atom from which it was formed. … – As the atomic number of elements in Group 2 increases, the ionic radius increases. – The ionic radius increases.
Which is bigger F or F
So F- is larger in size.
What is the formula of atomic radius
Divide the distance between the nuclei of the atoms by two if the bond is covalent. For example, if you know the distance between the nuclei of two covalently bonded atoms is 100 picometers (pm), the radius of each individual atom is 50 pm.
Which is smaller F or F
F has a smaller radius than F− because an additional electron causes greater repulsion in F− is the correct choice.
Why ionic radius is greater than atomic radius
Metals – the atomic radius of a metal is generally larger than the ionic radius of the same element. Why? … This creates a larger positive charge in the nucleus than the negative charge in the electron cloud, causing the electron cloud to be drawn a little closer to the nucleus as an ion.
Why is the ionic radius of K+ smaller than CL
In other words, K+ has bigger effective nuclear charge than Cl− , which translates to a bigger net positive charge felt by the outermost electrons. This will compress the energy levels a bit and make the ionic radius smaller for the potassium cation. Therefore, the chloride anion will have the larger atomic radius.
How do you explain ionic radius
The ionic radius (plural: ionic radii) is the measure of an atom’s ion in a crystal lattice. It is half the distance between two ions that are barely touching each other.
What elements have the smallest atomic radius
Explanation: Helium has the smallest atomic radius.

Bulletin from Abroad
Rachel Morris in Washington DC
It’s often said that the turning point for George W Bush, the moment when his Administration’s fecklessness finally caught up with him and public opinion truly began to curdle, was after Hurricane Katrina hit.
By that point in 2005, his Administration had weathered plenty of controversies and accusations of mismanagement, not least in Iraq. But the images of American citizens enduring appalling conditions in the Louisiana Superdome or painting desperate pleas for rescue on their roofs shocked the country. So did the botched emergency response and Bush’s decision to view the devastation in New Orleans through the window of Air Force One. He never recovered from it.
But that was in the quaint era when so-called political gravity meant actions had consequences: politicians who screwed up badly enough would eventually pay the price.
But Donald J Trump – the man who was caught on tape boasting of sexually assaulting women one month before being elected president – has nuked that assumption so many times that it’s become impossible to speculate on the consequences of anything.
By any standard, the unfolding catastrophe in Puerto Rico should be Trump’s Katrina. Since it was hit by Hurricane Maria on September 20, the small US territory has been in a state of crisis, without safe drinking water or electricity. Cholera is on the rise and thousands of residents are still unaccounted for.
Trump spent the first weekend after the storm rage-tweeting at football players for kneeling during the pre-game national anthem. He didn’t hold one meeting about the disaster response – in fact, it took him five days to publicly acknowledge the situation.
Since then, he has alternated between blaming Puerto Ricans for wanting “everything to be done for them” and claiming that it is too difficult for the most powerful military nation in history to mount a rescue effort because Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by “big water, ocean water”. It took him a week to waive a restriction that was preventing boats from delivering aid to the island, explaining that the waiver was opposed by “a lot of people that work in the shipping industry”.
As conditions on the island worsened, Trump spent the next weekend playing golf, though he did dedicate the trophy to hurricane victims.
In a sense, the 45th President has created his own law of physics: if you make multiple messes, they don’t magnify each other; they cancel themselves out. After Katrina hit New Orleans, it was on television 24/7. You couldn’t look away from scenes of suffering so extreme that it was hard to believe they were occurring in the richest nation on Earth.
One reason Americans are not more horrified by Puerto Rico’s plight is that the news has been dominated by the wave of protests by football players (fuelled by Trump’s tweetstorms) and escalating tensions with North Korea (ditto). And that was before a man named Stephen Paddock opened fire on hundreds of people in Las Vegas.
All of this explains why it felt so strange when Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Tom Price, resigned last week. He had spent more than US$1 million in public money using private and military jets for official business (most cabinet secretaries fly commercial and sit in economy).
A resignation was expected. But Trump’s Treasury Secretary requested a $25,000-an-hour government jet to use for his honeymoon, and the Trumps have already exhausted the Secret Service’s annual budget with trips to his various properties and other private business, so Price’s departure was hardly a given. Still, the idea – even if it was only momentary – that gravity might still exist was extremely comforting.
As conditions on Puerto Rico worsened, Trump spent the weekend playing golf.
“Don’t feel guilty. Seriously, when was the
last time you bought a pair of shoes?”

The last topic Marianne Williamson (@marwilliamson) would like to touch on is the prevailing concept that we have to be available and connected to our work lives 24/7. For working mothers, it can be particularly difficult to transition from career mode to family mode. Marianne suggests 30 minutes of a relaxing activity to allow yourself to gently switch back into mother mode - time to break out the bubble bath!

Parducci Wine Cellars
At Parducci, viticultural practices are rooted in the belief that
great wines begin in healthy vineyards.
Every aspect of our estate, and those whom we source fruit from,
is considered to create a healthy environment for the vines.
Cover crops are planted to enrich the soil
and support biodiversity in the vineyard.
Habitat is preserved and created for beneficial insects
and birds which act as effective, natural pest control.
Domestic animals contribute nutrients to the soil,
so synthetic fertilizers are not needed. They are also
a low impact solution to managing weeds.
Sheep eat the grass and weeds.
Chickens till the soil and eat insects.
The domestic animals, along with leftover grape skins,
seeds and stems from the winemaking process
all contribute to our extensive compost operation.
This compost will naturally feed the vines.
A thoughtfully constructed wetlands area reclaims water from the
winemaking process, naturally treats it, and provides us with a
nutrient rich, sustainable source of water for our vineyards.
Together the marriage of traditional viticulture practices
with innovative sustainable ideas create deeply rooted and healthy vineyards
that produce superior fruit for better wines.

A Band That Knows Where the Money Comes From
Chester French isn’t your typical rock band. Singer D.A. Wallach and multi-instrumentalist Max Drummey met as freshmen at Harvard, where lanky, longhaired Drummey majored in social anthropology and twee, preppy Wallach graduated as the top student in the school’s African-American Studies program. In the video for their best-known song, “She Loves Everybody,” a pretty girl punches the stuffing out of the two helpless weaklings, leaving them bloody-nosed among their broken guitars and drums. Wallach and Drummey, who eschew leather and spandex for bowties and croquet mallets, were signed to Interscope Records just as they graduated two years ago. An album released in April, “Love The Future”, has made the duo upcoming stars, albeit not superstars. But besides the fans drawn to their music, Chester French have amassed a following by spending hours a day networking online. Should you encounter the band on Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Digg, Twitter or any of the other social sites where they’ve set up shop, you’ll be encouraged to sign up at chesterfrench.com as a V.I.P. for the band’s concierge service. What you might not realize is you’re adding yourself to a database at Salesforce.com.
Wallach told me in a phone call from the band’s current tour that he and Drummey aren’t kidding that they see their fans, not themselves, as the V.I.P.’s. “Traditional record labels looked at music listeners as fans who were supposed to get in line to get an autograph,” he said. That worked, in Wallach’s view, when radio and TV were dominated by a few supersize broadcasters. “When the Beatles played ‘The Ed Sullivan Show,’ seven million people saw it,” he said. “But today, there’s no channel available that will deliver that size an audience. In this day and age, it’s about having a relationship with the people who listen to us. The relationship with someone who likes our music is much more of a conversation than it would have been, even in the ’90s.” Instead of giving interviews to reporters or dropping by radio stations, Wallach spends most of his time online, going through an average 100 to 200 e-mail messages a day. “We respond to every single e-mail we get,” he said. “I do an hour in the morning and an hour at night.
Former NERD, Man Of Style & Substance
From his humble beginnings as a scribe on Wreckx-N-Effect’s 1992 hit “Rump Shaker,” Pharrell moved up in the world to become a household name with NERD and a coveted music producer (who may or may not be dating Rihanna, apparently). He represents an entire generation of entrepreneurial, stylish men who are enjoying great success (he the most so) in the music/fashion arenas, as well as exemplary cross-over successes who continue to reinvent themselves on an almost daily basis.
The inaugural trailblazers list recognizes men from a wide range of professions–they are linked only by their ability to live the life of a made man. This year’s honorees include: hip-hop legend Pharrell Williams, Gossip Girl creator Josh Schwartz, pork-belly impresario David Chang, Avatar leading man Sam Worthington, and Charlie Villanueva, the first NBA player to talk to fans on Twitter during a game. MadeMan.com and Break Media Recognized 2009’s Best and Brightest on July 29th Bash in New York. In a world full of quasi-celebrities, short-lived Internet sensations, and one-hit wonders, some men still stand out as true leaders in their fields, and they deserve to be honored. Break Media and MadeMan.com, the ultimate online men’s lifestyle destination, have selected a list of 50 men who exemplify the image of a made man, and are fit to be called trailblazers. The motto of MadeMan.com, “Wit, Wisdom, and Women,” will be on full display in New York on July 29th when MadeMan hosts an exclusive invitation-only party honoring this year’s trailblazers. The full list of names and more information on the party can be found at mademan.com.
Klue.com: Do you think your friends Nigo and Pharrell have sold out to big brands like Louis Vuitton?
Verbal: Street doesn’t have to connotate a low price range. When I first saw Pharrell, he was wearing a trucker hat when it wasn’t even in. He had on a Billabong T-shirt. I don’t think a lot of hip-hop artists at that time really wore Billabong. Maybe it’s cool in Virginia, where he’s from, but it transcends cultural borders. Nigo just started out pressing T-shirts at home. I don’t think he thought it’d blow up. About the Louis Vuitton thing, I think they’re just trying to take it to the next level because these big brands are interested in what they’ve been neglecting for many years. Pharrell, Nigo and Kanye are trying to go there and change high fashion. I wouldn’t say it’s selling out. They’re trying to change it from the bottom up.
Teyana Taylor broke down and cried after reading positive comments written about her in the blogosphere. The 18-year-old Harlem native became increasingly emotional while scrolling through various posts from her fans. “I’m not sad ya’ll,” she said wiping the tears from her face. “It’s tears of joy.” While reading remarks ranging from “I love you Teyana,” to “You are such an inspiration,” Taylor got so emotional that she could barely speak. “The reason why this is so special to me is because I go on blogs and I read the comments and the mean things that people [write] about me every single day. This might seem little to everybody else but this is really big to me. I never seen comments like this before. I’ve never really seen a whole bunch of people come together and support me.”

Okay, i know we’re all sick of all those Clipse interviews where they talk the same stuff again and again but this one is a good one, well they talk again about everything we already know but it’s a funny interview, check it out. Thanks To Skitzo.
Update: July 31st
„A blogger friend of mine contacted RT’s management to get the facts on the song. I’m not sure if it was Neil or not but he was told that the song was old and would not be on the album. He later removed the song from his site. He put up the explanation on his website and twitter site but I doubt any of the other sites care enough to correct it. They are not embarrassed by the song, they just don’t like anyone thinking it’s the first single or a new recording. They also think Scott Storch was the one to leak it. Some of the links have been removed but once something hits the net, you can never get it back.“ Thanks To Cynic27.
Update: July 27th
Robin Thicke is currently working on his 4th Studio Album which is due end of the year and a new Thicke track just leaked called “Dirty It Up” produced by Scott Storch, pretty nice tune sounds unfinished though and its good to see Storch back producing.

Virginia duo The Clipse are known just as well for their cocaine affiliation as they are for their clever rhymes about the street life and what to do with all that money. However I just got word this morning that the two may be checking into Detox or already have. Of course I’m talking about the long awaited mythical Detox album from Dr. Dre. The album is said to be near completion after a decade and the finishing touches are now being put on it.
The Clipse I’m hearing were called in last weekend and instantly agreed to be a part of the project, writing for Dre. Other people known to be working on Detox are of course Eminem, 50 Cent, and others such as Jay-Z, and even Kanye West. I’m not sure I even care about this album anymore. I’m just waiting for it to drop, if it ever will and that’s it. in any case though this is definitely a good look for The Clipse. These two deserve any kind of shine they get so congrats to them.
You know that Avery Storm’s first solo album is going to be interesting when, prior to its September release, some of his recent efforts include one of the few remixes of Jay-Z’s “Death of Autotune” off the Jiggaman’s soon-to-be-heard, Blueprint 3. Avery is among a handful of producers who somehow got his hands on the instrumental, then overlaid vocals. His remixing talent is just a taste of what’s to come, though. Avery recently played me a batch of new material off his new album, Shotgun Love, at Quad Studios in New York. The songs are filled with the kind of beats ideal for summertime blasting from cars and clubs both. The songs are hot, and Nelly seems to think so too. After all, Shotgun Love is being released on the rapper’s Derrty Entertainment label with a slew of guest producers and artists. Pharrell backs him too—not so bad to have two heavyweights already in your corner.
Avery is still figuring out the album’s sequence; he has a mere 300 tracks to choose from. “The way I’m going to narrow it down is what is most accurate to me at the moment and most true. But I’m pretty much already there and know what it’s going to be—about 13 songs in total.” Avery played me the album’s single, “Not Like My Girl,” featuring rapper Rick Ross with The Runners producing, plus “Terrified” featuring Jadakiss, “My Life”, “Mistakes”, and the album’s namesake intro “Shotgun Love.” “Terrified” is my personal favorite; it’s heavy, and hearing it for the first time in a soundproof studio at highest possible volume with Avery singing along was certainly an experience.
Avery Storm & Pharrell
60 Rappers In 60 Days
The VA boys are making the album you’ve been dreaming about. The Clipse are ready to get what they deserve. After years of being acknowledged as hip hop’s most lyrical duo, the brothers Thornton want more. Til The Casket Drops (Re-Up Gang/Columbia), their third album (on their third record label), drops this summer and they’re taking calculated steps to make sure they win big critically—and commercially. VIBE caught up with Terrence “Pusha T” Thornton, 32, and Gene “Malice” Thornton, 36, to talk about how they’ll sneak in those slick rhymes, when the rap game got real, and why your favorite song isn’t on their radar.
VIBE: The Neptunes handled most of the production on your last two albums—what’s changed?
Pusha T: I think that this album was just about growth and catering to the fans. I think that a lot of people wanted to hear us on other production. I think that was the biggest thing. I think people love the Clipse but [we’d] always hear, “Yo, we wanna hear y’all on such and such and so and so.” And it’s a growing point for the Clipse. It was like, Damn, let’s venture out and make every part of this album an event. There’s a couple features on the album that aren’t just family-oriented. We worked with different producers. Everything just needs to be different and eventful.
V:It sounds like you’re tight-lipped about who you’re working with. Can you let a couple secrets out of the bag on the production end?
P: On the production end you got Sean C & LV…DJ Khalil…Swizz Beatz. You got The Neptunes. You got Nottz. On the feature tip, we got Cam’Ron. We got Kanye West. That’s what’s etched in stone as of right now.

Well, what a glass-half-empty bunch you are. The OECD produces a hefty analysis of everything it can possibly count about what makes life worthwhile and concludes that Britain is a great place to be. But – as of last night – the running tally in our poll of Guardian readers suggests that, by a 2:1 margin, you are not having any of it.
It is easy to sneer. In slump-battered countries like Greece – which recently saw male suicides rise by a fifth, and national income drop by a quarter – well-established statistics suffice to make the point that times are hard; new quality-of-life composites and surveys that ask people how cheery they feel are superfluous. But in the grip of a true Great Depression, Greece is an extreme case. It really should be instructive to track personal security, air quality and feelings of health across a wider set of countries. After all, as Bobby Kennedy put it, a gross national product which counts weaponry but not wisdom "measures everything ... except that which makes life worthwhile".
So efforts of the OECD sort, once enthusiastically backed by David Cameron, are worth trying. But when statisticians shift from what can be easily counted to what they say truly counts, arguments inevitably abound. The granddaddy of such exercises is the UN Human Development Index, which has been around long enough to have acquired a certain respectability over time, but its recognition that, say, years of schooling but not freedom from crime contributes to a country flourishing is obviously arbitrary. So, too, are the relative weights assigned to life span, education and income, in a calculation that has changed over time. Without grand theoretical modelling, which would itself rely on contentious assumptions, double-counting is unavoidable – for instance, the same spending on teachers' salaries will contribute to the education and income components at once. In yesterday's OECD data, spending on housing clocks up as a positive, which it is if it – say – fixes rising damp, but not – as so often happens in Britain – it merely lines a landlord's pockets. While the thinktank went out of its way to provide information on inequality, it did not factor these into its headline index of wellbeing, perhaps for fear of being dragged into controversy. That is a serious omission.
However, the OECD is to be commended for an online interactive, which lays bare its assumptions – and allows anyone to change them. (If not an invitation to play God, this is an invitation to play Aristotle and define the Good Life.) Decree that money is all that matters and the US is suddenly the place to be; if work-life balance matters more, you'd be better off heading for Denmark; but if a well-woven fabric of community is what you're really after, Iceland beckons. Such contrasts might guide migrants, but just as striking are many commonalities in the rankings. Just as in the UN's index, richer countries often do better in other dimensions, too: money may not matter much in itself, but it certainly comes in handy when fixing problems that do, from dirty water to inadequate healthcare.
This brings us back to that finding about British society coming through the recession relatively unscathed. If we have done so, how is this possible, after a chunky fall in GDP? The survival of more jobs than expected is surely one part of the answer, particularly because the OECD statistics do not fully capture the chief blights in today's UK labour market, such as underemployment. Just as important, however, is the period covered – much of the data relates to 2010 and 2011, before private retrenchment gave way to public austerity. The first phase of the Great Recession pain was meted out relatively fairly in Britain, as taxes for the rich increased and benefits for the poor were maintained. It is the subsequent swapping of those positions that could in the end do most social damage. Grumpy Guardian readers who did not believe yesterday's report because it sounded too good shouldn't trash the OECD just yet; another report, a few years' down the line, could yet prove it right.

Is it possible to eat at one of the Big Group’s new ventures without drawing comparisons, no matter how positive, to their former crown jewel Delicious? Well no, not for me anyway. Especially when scattered through Ben’s menu you see dishes that could have been lifted from the pages of Delicious and the now defunct D’lish – sandwich fillings, pasta toppings and drinks ideas ring a faint, far-off bell.
The menu is a reassuring mix of standard café offerings of pastas, sandwiches and a few Asian options. It’s not a groundbreaking affair but it doesn’t need to be, and when duck confit features this heavily in a menu, you know they’re playing to their strengths. The decor is muted and grown up; the Pavilion outlet plays with stripes and lime green accents while the KLCC branch uses shades of grey and huge, comfy chairs.
The chargrilled seafood spaghettini was the first to arrive, a heaped plate of spaghettini tossed in flavoured oils and garnished with wilted spinach and dried chillis. (They’ve taken the term seafood very loosely to mean two prawns and a lot of sotong.) A decent stab at the aglio olio standard, it was well seasoned and flavourful but dripping in just a little too much oil.
Next was an excellent, flaky pie encasing chunks of tender wagyu beef, pronounced the favourite even before the rest were sampled. The cheeseburger was exactly what a cheeseburger should be – juicy, sizeable and topped with a slice of real cheese. The salt beef sandwich was the lone disappointment – overly chunky slices of salt beef are fine if the meat is suitably tender, but it wasn’t. A sandwich with only one filling shouldn’t take quite so much chewing.
We finished off with a mammoth slice of chocolate and walnut brownie and a hint of déjà vu. Looks are deceiving; what looks like a dense slice of brownie is actually more like a very rich chocolate fudge cake with a lighter crumb and spongier feel. It was a good finish to a solid meal. We still feel like Ben’s is very much Delicious 2.0, but with sophistication on its side. Emma Chong

New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan and Mayor Michael Bloomberg have announced two pilot programs that will bring mobile capabilities to street-side parking.
The pilot programs are taking place in the Belmont Business Improvement District in the Bronx. The first pilot program enables motorists to feed the parking meter using a mobile app, the web, or a telephone. Drivers will receive a text message or email when their time is about to run out so they can feed the meter.
The second pilot program involves parking availability and comes from a partnership between the Department of Transportation and Streetline, IPsens and Xerox. The technology uses sensors embedded in the roadway to produce a real-time parking availability map that can be accessed from a mobile device or the internet.
“Parking is easier and more convenient when you know where to look for a space, and when you can pay with a click instead of fumbling for change,” said Commissioner Sadik-Khan. “Innovative technologies like these can help make one of the basic facts of city life a little easier while making our streets and commercial districts even more accessible.”

As a feminist, a Jew, and a sometimes-writer, I should have had Letty Cottin Pogrebin on my top 10 list of awesome people I’d love to have dinner with someday. I can’t believe that I didn’t know about this incredible writer-activist until this summer, when I began working at the New Center for Arts and Culture. As soon as I heard that Letty co-founded Ms. magazine, her New Center program quickly became my most highly anticipated of our fall season. And I realized that I needed to know more about her than what my quick online search produced.
While I knew her New Center discussion with Robin Young would focus on her latest book, How to Be a Friend to a Friend Who’s Sick, I decided to start with her seminal work, Deborah, Golda, and Me: Being Female and Jewish in America. Published in the early 1990s, I couldn’t help but read her book with a bit of curiosity: how far (or not) have things come for us as women and Jews in America, over 20 years later? And, how can we further adopt Letty’s ideas and practices? For too long, I’ve been frustrated that many in my generation see feminism as a dirty word, and that we don’t recognize the struggles of women before us that have allowed us advantages we take for granted. Reading about Letty’s life and work has been a catalyst for how I think about my own feminism and Jewish identity.
Accepting an award from the Jewish Women’s Archive earlier this year, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a longtime activist, pointed to the Statue of Liberty, just visible in the foggy distance, and quipped, “I love her, even though she’s not Jewish.” Over murmurs of laughter, she spoke of her love for Lady Liberty’s “grace and beauty,” and defined what the monument represents to her: “welcome, freedom, hope.” The same could be said of Pogrebin herself.
February is Black History Month. Feministing recognizes the contributions of women to the Civil Rights Movement in this blog post (with a tribute video). Jewish women played an important role in the Movement. Learn the stories of 16 extraordinary Jewish women who dedicated their lives to fighting for civil rights in a special feature on jwa.org.

With its Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) increasingly being used to target terrorists and support ground troops, the U.S. Air Force plans to double the number of its drone squadrons over the next five years.
The rough terrain of Afghanistan has made it a testing ground for remote operations employing drones and UAVs are in the air there more than eight times as long as manned fighter aircraft. Overall, the number of hours logged by the MQ-9 Reaper attack drones has more than doubled between 2011 and 2015.
DefenseOne reported yesterday that the U.S.Army is using teams of manned Apache attack helicopters and Shadow drones in Iraq to battle ISIS and is talking about an attack-reconnaissance squadron using the Apace-Shadow combination.
Military spending in the fiscal 2017 budget proposed by President Obama last February includes more than $4.6 billion for drones and related technology, according to the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College -- about $1.2 billion less than what was requested for the previous year. But a report by the Center says that is because “most of the current major acquisition programs have already met their aircraft totals or have gone over budget.”
The report also said that while aerial drones account for most of the proposed spending, there is a new emphasis on other types of unmanned military vehicles. “The Navy, for example, will begin procuring new unmanned undersea vehicles for detecting sea mines and will add tens of millions of dollars for research and development of new, larger UUVs,” the report said. “The Army, meanwhile, will boost funding for unmanned ground vehicles and will initiate new projects to research swarming weapons and increased autonomy.”
According to Reuters, the Army already has about 130 MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft, successors of the Predator, and it said in toto the military has thousands of drones, mainly for surveillance.
As the role of pilots recedes, the Air Force plans to add some 3,500 personnel to the crews operating its drones. And in its Air Superiority Flight Plan 2030 released late last month, the Air Force said, “Development of cyber capabilities and Airmen who can operationally employ those capabilities is essential to air superiority in 2030 and beyond.”
Now aspiring Airmen can practice at home. Homefront: The Revolution Goliath Edition, a new video game from Deep Silver, a division of Koch Media, comes with an operational drone.

If you’re looking for the next great smartphone, look no further than the LG G3, which some sites are calling the most advanced smartphone ever. The phone was built around a new UI that resembles Google Now, Android’s awesome personal assistant. This interface can remind you to call people back, point out unused apps to uninstall, and even tell you to carry an umbrella when you go out if it’s supposed to rain. The phone’s most innovative feature, though, might be its laser autofocus camera, which will change the way you take pictures. Tapping on the G3’s screen focuses and shoots at the same time, which means you will capture the exact moment you want to save. The phone has a removable battery and, although the case is plastic, it feels great in your hand. LG has a clear winner with this device – I’m going to pre-order this phone, and you should, too. The LG G3 will be available in the U.S. sometime a little later this summer.

Moonflowers can be started indoors, or directly outdoors. Whichever method you choose, it is best to soak the seeds for 24 hours or scar them with a knife or sandpaper, prior to sowing. If started indoors, sow in peat pots 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last frost, at a depth of 1” under topsoil. Transplant or direct sow outdoors when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.
Moonflowers will enjoy an area that receives full sunlight for the majority of the day. They prefer a rich soil that is also very well drained. Adding compost to your area of hard compact soil will improve drainage. Water daily with a mild water setting so that the soil is moist until germination has occurred.
Your Moonflower seeds will begin to germinate within 7 to 21 days after sowing. The plants grow to a mature length of 8 to 10 feet long and can be spaced 12 to 18 inches apart from one another. Lavender Moonflower displays beautiful, 2 inch, flowers that begin to bloom in the evening hours of the day.
Question: Are your seeds GMO?
Answer: Absolutely not! At Seed Needs, we have a strong stance against GMO based seed products. We promise to NEVER knowingly carry, or ship GMO based seed products.
Question: Are your seeds orgnic? Or do you offer organic seeds?
Answer: At this time we do not offer certified organic seed varieties. Although some of the seeds in our shop may be from organic suppliers, we do not have the rights label them as such.
Question: Are your seeds Heirloom?
Answer: Yes, we carry a diverse selection of heirloom seeds that are sourced from professional growers that are located all over the globe. A small selection of varieties are Hybrids, and are labeled as such on the product listings.
Question: Are you located within the United States?
Answer: Yes, we store and ship all of our seeds from New Baltimore, Michigan.
Question: Do you ship out of the USA?
Answer: At this time we only ship within the United States and to Canada.

Turkish actor Levent Üzümcü, long a target of government scrutiny, is now being investigated for “inciting the public to hatred and enmity” for a public performance he held in Istanbul’s Kadıköy district, online news portal Sol Haber reported on Nov. 11.
Üzümcü has been investigated by the government several times - once, earlier this summer, for allegedly causing the Turkish Lira’s value to drop against the dollar with a single tweet, and again for adding ellipses to the same tweet. He has long been a vocal critic of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)-led government, even openly criticizing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan upon the publication of his book, “A Fairer World is Possible,” this summer.
Now, Üzümcü is being investigated for his performance in Kadıköy’s Church Square on June 15, 2021. In the performance, he drew attention to the 64th article of the Turkish Constitution, which states that the government “shall protect art and artists.” In a video of the performance he posted on Twitter earlier this year, he had said that performing arts in Turkey are in “critical condition” and that the ruling coalition does nothing to protect the arts.
"It is our call to those who are boasting about governing 60% of Turkey," Üzüm had written.
Now Üzümcü is being investigated in the very manner his performance aimed to critique. If convicted of inciting the public to hatred, per article 216 of the Turkish Penal Code, Üzümcü could face up to three years in prison.
With regards to his performance, Üzümcü told Sol Haber that he wished to draw attention to the way the ruling People’s Coalition selectively applies laws in order to serve their interests.
“I want people to read Article 64 of the Constitution. After all, this country is government by someone, and those that rule it must enforce the articles of the Constitution. People who polarize, those who do it in a systematic way, are never questioned by the justice system,” he said.
