The Tempe police chief promised a "sound, unbiased factual investigation" of an officer's fatal shooting of a man in a chase after a drugstore robbery.
New details about the chase and the confrontation between a Tempe lieutenant and 19-year-old Dalvin Hollins emerged in a Friday news conference held by Tempe police. Two key points brought up by Tempe officers: Although Hollins simulated a weapon and told employees behind the pharmacy counter that he had a weapon, he was not armed. And Hollins was shot in the back of his body.
Chief Sylvia Moir said that she had called Hollins' mother, Sarah Coleman, to express her "profound sadness in the loss of her son" and to offer to meet with her to discuss what happened outside Westchester Senior Living, near Rural and Guadalupe roads, on Wednesday morning.
The news conference at a police precinct came hours after Coleman appeared at a news conference at Tempe City Hall to protest her son's death.
"It hurts that my son was taken like that. He didn't deserve that," Coleman said.

The Rev. Jarrett Maupin, who appeared with Coleman, asked for an outside investigation into Hollins' death.
Moir said she has reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice and regional partners for support in the investigation.
"While a finding like this causes all of us significant concern, we find we'll continue to pursue a sound, unbiased factual investigation," Moir said, adding that the department would continue to explore outside partnerships with agencies to "guarantee that our investigation is above reproach."
In a statement released Friday afternoon, Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell said he expects that the shooting investigation will be thorough and transparent.
"I have every confidence that the men and women of the Tempe Police Department will carry out their sworn duty to find and provide all the facts as thoroughly and quickly as possible," Mitchell said. "I look forward to regular updates to the public until the inquiry is completed. Investigations like this one will take time, but when all the facts are known, we as a city will act responsibly on the knowledge gathered."
Lt. Mike Pooley, Tempe police spokesman, said the shot that killed Hollins was fired by Lt. Edward Ouimette, 52, an officer with 19 years of service at the Tempe Police Department. Ouimette responded to the department's highest-priority "Priority 0" call after the drugstore robbery, Pooley said.
The three people behind the pharmacy counter had believed Hollins to have a weapon, as did Ouimette, Pooley said.

He said Ouimette saw Hollins run west alongside the senior-facility buildings and was paralleling Hollins. Ouimette, in an interview with Tempe police Friday morning, said he saw Hollins turn toward him and the officer perceived a threat, Pooley said. Ouimette fired one shot.
The bullet entered Hollins' body from the back, indicating that he had turned away from Ouimette in the time between the moment Ouimette felt threatened and when he fired the weapon, Pooley said. Time passed between the perception of the threat and the reaction to the threat, Pooley said.
Moir said, "The trajectory as reported by the medical examiner of the single gunshot wound was back left to front right, which is consistent with the initial report and is not uncommon."
Moir, who became chief of the department in March, promised an open, honest, transparent investigation.
"The events that bring us here test us as a community," she said.
"First, as I said when I spoke to Mr. Hollins' mother, Sarah, I expressed to her my profound sadness of the loss of her son. I offered to meet with her and discuss everything we know. She said at that time she would consult the family and call me and let me know when it's a good time for her. I honor her decision.
"I communicated with men and women of the Tempe Police Department and told them regardless of where the facts lead us we must remain unafraid to fulfill our daily duty to safeguard Tempe. The people of Tempe, whether they live here, do business here, have fun here, study here, whatever brings them to Tempe, they're counting on us.
"We will learn from this tragedy, but we will learn humbly and we will admit where we stumbled. I'm committed to being the honest and open chief that Tempe and the profession of law enforcement deserve."

Police were called to a Walgreens at McClintock and Guadalupe roads shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a report that the pharmacy was being robbed, Pooley said.
Video footage released Friday showed a man in a ski mask jumping over a pharmacy counter. He kept a hand in a black bag while demanding that pharmacy workers hand over liquid narcotics, Pooley said.
A worker who was behind the counter called 911 seconds after Hollins left the store. In the 911 call released Friday, the caller describes Hollins and tells the dispatcher that Hollins threatened the workers with deadly force.
"He said that he had a gun but he didn't show it to us," the caller said. "... He literally hopped the counter and came back here. And he had it right on me."
"We're fine; he's gone," the caller said.
The caller said that Hollins had knocked into him, possibly accidentally, as one of his hands remained inside a back pocket of what appeared to be a laptop bag, the caller said.
He told the 911 operator that he was unsure if Hollins had fled on foot or by car.
Police caught up with a man fitting the robber's description carrying a black bag at the intersection where Hollins was dropped off. The man told the officer he did not want to talk and ran, Pooley said.
Ouimette said he saw the man running and followed him to the senior-care facility, where Pooley said Hollins did not follow officer commands and Ouimette fired one round at Hollins before Hollins fled into the maintenance room.
While entering the maintenance room, Hollins elbowed a worker in the back, Pooley said.
Pooley said a body camera Ouimette was wearing was not activated at the time of the shooting. It was activated several minutes afterward.
The Tempe SWAT team took about an hour to mobilize, Pooley said. The unit sent in a robot to check on Hollins. When he was found unresponsive, officers entered, and paramedics soon rendered aid, Pooley said.
Per department policy, Ouimette has been placed on paid leave while the shooting is investigated.

Maupin, who has organized multiple protests and rallies in response to officer-involved shootings, said he believed Wednesday's shooting to be racially motivated. Maupin demanded Tempe police call upon an outside agency to investigate the incident.
"Does race have something to do with it? Absolutely," he said. "The mother and father say race had something to do with it. We say race had something to do with it. The track record of this police department says race had something to do with it."
Who is Jarrett Maupin? Man behind Phoenix's police protests is a rights leader - and a paid political consultant
Maupin said if it had existed, the body-camera footage would have revealed that Hollins was running away at the time of the shooting and was hit in the back.
"The cameras need to be on throughout their shifts so we can get all of the story, not just half the story," Maupin said. "(The officer) should not be carrying gun, or terrorizing the community. You don't shoot someone who is running away. You don't let someone die like an animal."
Family: Mental illness could have been a factor

Frederick Franklin, Hollins' stepfather, told The Republic on Thursday that Hollins was in the process of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Something that morning "must have made him snap" before he robbed a store to obtain a drug for which he had a prescription, Franklin said.
He described his stepson as a "good kid" who was not understood in the state's mental-health system; Hollins fell through the cracks, Franklin said.
Sharrel Council, founder of non-profit Millennials: We are the Change, also spoke at the news conference. She said her generation needs to rise up and be heard politically in times of tragedy. She also said mental illness in African-Americans is often ignored during coverage of shootings.
"Mental-health issues are real in the black community, just as real as with white people," she said. "Police and the media have no problem de-escalating a white mental patient, but when it comes to us, it's taboo."
Coleman still struggled with the fact that her son was gone.
"You hear about this all the time but I never knew it would be my son. I'll never see him again," she said.
The death of Hollins was one of three police-involved shootings that occurred in the Phoenix area Wednesday.
Dylan Liberti, 24, was shot and killed by officers after police said he brandished a knife in Scottsdale, and Andres Munoz, 33, was fired upon when he tried to flee the scene of a drug investigation at the Vee Quiva Casino in Laveen Village. Munoz was not injured in the incident.
Editor's note: An earlier version of the story incorrectly stated that the officer who fired the shot was on leave from the department at the time of the shooting. He has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the shooting investigation.

Barbur 24000 is the name of a performance that I have made in 2004. Its name is the name of my neighborhood (Barbur means Swan) and the zip code. In this performance (that came after Barbur Aswad) I decided to investigate the White as a representation of the pure. The installation was built from 13 tents made from towel cloth (for each member of my family) and a list of purity lows written on the wall, white on white. Aharon Barnea, then a corespondent for arab affairs, participated in the performance as a translator, and was my liaison between Art and life.
Anisa Ashkar: Barbur 24000
By Tal Ben Zvi
The performance Barbur 24000 (2004) was presented at the Midrasha School of Art, Beit Berl College. The title was inspired by the artist's neighborhood in Acre: the Arab neighborhood "Barbur" which acquired its Hebrew name (meaning swan) from the construction of a ceramic factory by the same name in it, a severe hazard to the environment and inhabitants alike. 24000 is Acre's zip code. In the exhibition space Ashkar installed thirteen models of white canvas tents.1 The bottom part of each bore the title of the exhibition in Hebrew, Arabic and English, in black print, with the swan symbol next to it.
As the performance begins, Ashkar is seen with an inscription in Arabic on her face, wearing a white dress made of terrycloth. She is accompanied by Aharon Barnea, commentator on Arab affairs and Israel's Channel 2-TV anchorman on the Sabbath eve news edition – in the capacity of translator. Dressed in suit and tie, Barnea leans against the wall, listening to Ashkar's words in Arabic, trying to translate them into Hebrew for the audience comprised mainly of Jewish Israelis.
The white wall bears an Arabic text in white print, specifying the ten stages of Taharah (purification) in Islamic Law (Wudhu – Ablution). At the beginning of the performance Ashkar is seen erasing the white writing on the wall with a white eraser and vigorous bodily movements. When she is done, she turns to a pile of 1-liter milk bags at her feet, emptying them one by one into a bowl, and then starts rubbing herself with the milk, and simultaneously with the act of bathing, reads out the purification instructions:
Ashkar in Arabic: He should wash his hands up to the wrists thrice.
Barnea translates into Hebrew.
Ashkar in Arabic: Rinses her mouth thrice, cleans his teeth.
Ashkar in Arabic: Wash his entire face thrice.
Ashkar in Arabic: I can't see, white on white, white again, everyone's white, anyone who can, only white, white rules.
Ashkar in Arabic: Wash his arms up to the elbows thrice (right arm first) […]
Ashkar in Arabic: In the days of Cleopatra and Nefertiti, they used to bathe in milk.
Ashkar in Arabic: Anyone seeing me pour out milk, tells me, why, isn't it a shame? Instead of just spilling it, they told me, why not send the milk to Gaza, they need milk. I told them: by the time the milk gets to Gaza, it'll be sour […]
Ashkar in Arabic: My mother couldn't come to the performance because there's alcohol here, they can't because they went on pilgrimage to Mecca, there's a prohibition on alcohol. I told them it was all right, it's fine by me. But my sisters came; here they are (she points out her sisters in the audience).
Ashkar in Arabic: They say that white cleanses. What does it cleanse, I don't know.
Ashkar in Arabic: When Mom and Dad went to Mecca for the Hajj,2 in the last days of the Hajj, during the stoning on Mount Arafat, which was very remote […] they erected a tent close to the place so they could get there faster and have a rest.
Ashkar in Arabic: And then people said they got lost or died.
Ashkar in Arabic: People who came with them to the Hajj from Acre started crying. When we called to see how they were, they didn't tell us, they were scared, they thought what can we tell them, a family, 11 children, what can we tell them, that their parents got lost? On one side of the mountain, the friends from Acre, on the other side – my parents. (Now my parents are very happy, they are going to make a private pilgrimage, Umrah3). On the last day, the friends from Acre lost all hope –
Ashkar turns directly to Barnea in Arabic: Do you know them?
Barnea in Arabic and then in Hebrew: Perhaps, some of them.
Ashkar in Arabic: I told him: You are about to see madness, I told him to stick with me.
Barnea in Hebrew: She told me to stick with her, that I was going to see the madness, but to stick with her. As long as you are pouring milk on yourself – what do I care?
A female member of the audience in Hebrew: Careful that she doesn't spill milk on you.
Barnea in Hebrew: Don't worry, I warned her in advance.
Ashkar in Arabic: I heard you, I'm a good girl.
Ashkar in Arabic: Tell them what the woman at the door asked you.
Barnea in Arabic: Say what she said, don't you remember? You forgot?
Ashkar in Arabic: I didn't forget.
Barnea in Hebrew: The woman asked if you were my daughter.
Ashkar in Arabic: And what did you reply?
Barnea in Arabic: Well, what did I say?
Ashkar in Arabic: I wish.
Barnea in Hebrew: I wish.
Barnea in Hebrew: Enough (Enough pouring milk).
Ashkar in Arabic: The white has taken me over.
In Purity and Danger, Mary Douglas4 maintains that the private body and the social body reflect one another in the symbolical realm, and therefore rituals pertaining to the body often represent social contradictions. Hence, the care for the purification of the body reflects a sense of threat – both external and internal – to the social structure. Ashkar, who bathes in milk throughout the performance, radicalizes this threat through her vigorous body movements and the authoritative tone with which she recounts the biographical text in Arabic.
The audience, Jewish for the most part, clearly trusts Barnea's translation as supervised by Ashkar and her sisters in the audience.5 In this respect, Barnea's presence is a paradox: on the one hand, he is alert to Ashkar's utterances while she generates the content and rhythm of the text; on the other hand, his figure, which knows both Arabic and Hebrew, ostensibly supervises the contents and meanings attached to the biographical text. In the exhibition space, only those who understand both Arabic and Hebrew can supervise the evolving text, and in this sense, both Ashkar and her family, who represent a part of the Palestinian minority in Israel, and Barnea, the commentator on Arab affairs, the main speaker of the hegemonic Israeli-Zionist discourse, are fragments of a single reality.
Ashkar emphasizes her acquaintance with Barnea twice, when she turns to him directly. The first time she asks him if he knows her parents' friends from Acre, and the second time she asks him to tell her what the woman at the door said. "Did you forget?" he replies, "The woman asked if you were my daughter." Thus the biographical narrative which puts the story of the family making a pilgrimage to Mecca to perform the rite of Hajj at its core, ostensibly ends with the appropriation of Ashkar as a daughter.
Ashkar, however, is not taken by the magic of the imaginary family, and throughout the performance, vis-à-vis the biographical text, she maintains the binary relations between Hebrew and Arabic, strictly refraining from speaking Hebrew, thus in fact repeating the rejection of the bilingual array that has become rooted in her place of residence, as presented in her performance Barbur Aswad. In Barbur Aswad Ashkar attached the Arabic word "aswad" (black) to the pastoral Hebrew name "barbur" (swan). She mixed the milk with black ink, rendering the blackness a quintessential stereotypical marker of ethnic and cultural differences.
Whereas in Barbur Aswad blackness is indicated as the major concern through the black ink and Ashkar's black clothing, in Barbur 24000, white is the essence. Ashkar is dressed in white, erasing the white writing from the white wall, and is surrounded by white tents. In the course of the performance she bathes in white liquid and drips white liquid, constantly repeating the adjective white (abyad in Arabic): white on white,6 white rules, etc, ending the performance with the sentence: "White has taken me over."
Homi K. Bhabha maintains that:7
"whiteness" is a screen for projecting the political phantoms of the past on the unfulfilled surfaces of the present; but at the same time it resembles what house painters call a primer, a base color that regulates all others, a norm that spectacularly or stealthily underlies powerful social values.
The primer in this case is the Israeli-Zionist – Jewish-Ashkenazi – whiteness which is the source of power and authority of Israeli culture as a whole, and of the art field in which Ashkar operates in particular. Ashkar locates herself in a space which is "white on white," exposing whiteness as an "unsettled, disturbed form of authority." 8She does so through Barnea's main source of authority – his mastery of the Palestinian Arabic language.
Throughout the performance Ashkar speaks in her mother tongue. Barnea, in contrast, utters most of the text in Hebrew in first person feminine and in Arabic with an Israeli accent, and only rarely does he deviate from his role as translator and speak in Arabic.9
The biographical text, which is based mainly on intra-cultural Islamic Palestinian contexts, emphasizes, for a change, the accent of the Jewish speaker and his foreignness in the biographical textual system which Ashkar unfolds. Despite the reversal of power relations between the Palestinian Ashkar and Barnea the commentator, however, the simultaneous translation only accentuates the repeated friction and the dependence on the mediation between Ashkar and the target audience, the Jewish Israeli audience watching the performance. Ashkar's position of strength, on the other hand, is temporary and fragmented. It occurs only in one of two continuous sentences, when she speaks in her own language, disintegrating and becoming enfeebled time and again during its translation. The resulting effect is of an interrupted biographical text, distorted and mediated, whose incoherence reinforces the inner relations of power and occupation from which Ashkar operates, writes and presents the story of her life.
1. Thirteen is the number of members in Ashkar's immediate family; the tents resemble those used by the pilgrims to Mecca for the Hajj, also alluding to the tents of the Palestinian refugees.
2. Hajj, or the Major Pilgrimage to Mecca, is one of the five pillars of Islam; an obligatory duty that each Muslim must perform at least once in his/her lifetime. The Hajj rituals include circumambulating the Kaa'bah (Tawaf) seven times and kissing the Black Stone, as well as standing in Arafah for a sermon, usually given by the qadi of Mecca, from a platform located on Mount Arafat (some 25 km east of Mecca). Pilgrims must wear simple white garments. See: Nehemia Levtzion, Daphna Ephrat, Daniella Talmon-Heller (eds.), Islam: Introduction to the History of the Religion, vol. 1 (The Open University of Israel, 1998), p. 58 [Hebrew].
3. Many of the pilgrims to Mecca revisit the place and repeat some of the rituals. The repeated pilgrimage is called Umrah, or Little Hajj, and is not obligatory.
4. Mary Douglas, Purity and Danger: An Analysis of the Concepts of Pollution and Taboo (London: Routledge, 2000 [1966]), pp. 151-152.
5. Exactly a year before her performance Barbur 24000 (2004), Ashkar performed Barbur Aswad (2003), exclusively in Arabic, at the Midrasha School of Art, Beit Berl College. At the end of the performance the Department teachers refused to discuss the piece, asking Ashkar to translate her words to Hebrew. Ashkar refused. In her performance at Hagar Art Gallery in Jaffa, the translation of the text appeared on a leaflet outside the gallery. For an elaborate discussion, see: Tal Ben Zvi, Hagar – Contemporary Palestinian Art, exh. cat. (Jaffa: Hagar, 2006), and the Hagar Art Gallery website at http://www.hagar-gallery.com/palestin.html.
6. In the context of feminist writing, "white on white" is read as a white ink, namely as writing with maternal milk. In "Coming to Writing" (1976) Helene Cixous identifies the streams of mother's milk flowing from the breasts as white ink which enables writing against the current, a non-linear writing that celebrates its linguistic otherness. See: Helene Cixous, Coming to Writing and Other Essays (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1991).

9. In this context of translation within the postcolonial sphere, Hamid Naficy indicates that the nonsynchronisity between speaker and voice can be counterhegemonic. See: Hamid Naficy, An Accented Cinema: Exilic and Diasporic Filmmaking (Princeton: Princeton UP, 2001), p. 24.

An African Midsummer Night's Dream
Suzanna Bowling
New playing at The New Victory Theater is Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. If you are thinking about bringing your kids to this Shakespeare production, you might want to read them the play first. This version is an opera, but the plot is a little convoluted. It is two hours long and you might want to make sure your child is willing to sit through this. Also not a lot of it is sung in English and the part that is, is hard to understand. What you get are the languages of Xhosa, Zulu and Yswana.
For those who love opera, these voices are glorious, the musicality is superb and this is a unique version complete with masks and tribal dances. The actors not only sing, act and dance they play the percussion instruments, marimbas, glass bottles, metal oil barrels and drums and sing a lot of this diverse music a cappella.
The show takes place in Cape Town and is performed by the multi talented Isango Ensemble. Adapted and directed by Mark Dornford-May, choreography by Lungelo Ngamlana. The cast is lead by a female Puck (Noluthando Boqwana) the only non-singing role. Now A Midsummer Night's Dream has become an African folk tale with Pauline Malefane as Tytania the queen of the fairies and Sinethemba Mdena as Oberon, king of the fairies. As the lovers Bongiwe Mapassa as Helena, The wonderful voice of Zolina Ngejane as Hermia, Mhlekazi (WhaWha) Mosiea as Lysander, Zoleka and Louw, Sifiso Lupuzi as Demetrius took the roles. It was the wonderful Zamile Gantana as Bottom who stood out.
For those who know the Benjamin Britten score a lot of it has been redone or tossed out, but the choral sections shine.
Is this for kids? I'm not so sure but if you are looking to introduce your child to opera this is a great way to start.
A Midsummer Night's Dream: New Victory Theater, 229 West 42nd St. until November 8

Why can't you just mind your own business (on circumcision)?
By Scott Janoschak © 2019
Genital Autonomy Advocates at the White House in Washington D.C. during Genital Integrity Awareness Week.
"Why can't you just mind your own business?"
Are you kidding? That's the main reason I'm an intactivist in the first place. Males are generally much happier and healthier when they're empowered, encouraged and informed on how to make their own personal healthcare choices. The exact same thing can be said about females, and it applies to all age groups, across all genders.
If you're asking me, "Why can't you stop bashing circumcision?" The answer is simple, because circumcision advocates have forced my hand in numerous ways:
1. I'm sick and tired of misinformation peddled by news and entertainment media that depicts or describes intact penises as dangerous, ugly, and uncivilized in such a way that it actively shames boys and men who aren't cut. It has led to all manner of bullying, sexual harassment and humiliation when the guilty party has no idea what the foreskin even is in the first place.
Difference between the intact and circumcised glans (head) of the male genitals.
2. I'm sick and tired of healthcare workers bullying parents to circumcise after they already said no, or even the parents who only want more time to think carefully and make a decision. Forget about the circumcision controversy for a second... It is absolutely unethical and completely unprofessional for doctors and nurses to put pressure on the parents to make a choice. It's even worse for the mom after she just gave birth, is still in pain and is not thinking clearly like normal.
Medical Professionals for Genital Autonomy present reasons for fellow physicians in practice to not participate in infant circumcision. Informational cards for sharing available at Etsy.
3. I'm sick and tired of these same healthcare workers who will prematurely attempt to retract the foreskin after being explicitly instructed by informed parents not to do so and the results can be devastating in some cases. The forced retraction epidemic is so bad that even the American Academy of Pediatrics had to issue intact care instructions, but clearly not all doctors got the memo. Both circumcision and forced retraction are iatrogenic injuries; the "experts" responsible need to be held to account for improper care.
Circumcision and retraction are iatrogenic injuries to non-consenting human beings.
4. I'm sick and tired of sex education curriculums around this country failing to accurately inform our young people about many things regarding sex, even the most basic facts about sexual anatomy and physiology. Children and teens are going to make mistakes as they grow up, but most of them aren't stupid. More and more, they're starting to realize that circumcision really is a completely obsolete hygiene measure and they're gradually rejecting the practice altogether.
Functions of the Foreskin.
5. I'm sick and tired of the pseudoscience being put out by circumcision advocates. The foreskin is not a disease or a defect. There is no guarantee that circumcision will protect males from any known pathogenic microorganism. Essentially every health problem pertaining to the foreskin or the intact penis as a whole can be prevented/treated by evidence-based medicine/health practice and without circumcision.
Circumcision always results in at least some measure of damage to the penis regardless of the technique or intent of the circumciser. No man should ever have to spend years of his life tugging on his penis to get back something should never have been removed to begin with, thankfully foreskin restoration is known to deliver effective results.
Admittedly, circumcision proponents have also made me literally laugh out loud many times over the years by saying the most ridiculous things one could imagine as a token of their ignorance:
"Babies can't feel pain."
"Cut it off or it'll fall off."
"He'll have trouble putting on condoms."
"He'll never have any children."
"He can't even go to the bathroom."
By this point however, such rhetoric has long since outlived its amusement and now we've had enough. We will never remain silent until this horrible injustice has been eradicated from the world forever, along with all other forms of human genital mutilation.

A petrol pump is seen at a Cepsa petrol station in Madrid, Spain, October 15, 2018.
U.S. buyout firm Carlyle Group is to acquire between 30 and 40 percent of Spanish energy company Cepsa from Abu Dhabi state investor Mubadala, the companies said on April 8.
The transaction, which puts Cepsa's enterprise value at $12 billion, follows Mubadala's decision to pull the Spanish group's stock market flotation last year, citing uncertainty in international capital markets.

Disability Management Services (DMS) Acquired by Davies
Industry Related Transactions
Sellside Advisor To Disability Management Services
7 Mile Advisors Acts As Sellside Advisor To Disability Management Services, Inc. In Their Sale to Davies
This acquisition will help Davies expand their Life & Health claims capabilities in the US.
CHARLOTTE, NC — Disability Management Services, Inc. ("DMS"), a Massachusetts-based disability claims and insurance services third party administrator ("TPA") has been acquired by Davies, a London-based, leading specialist professional services and technology business, serving the insurance and wider highly regulated markets. 7 Mile Advisors acted as the exclusive sellside advisor to DMS throughout the transaction.
"DMS is the premier individual disability claims administrator. We are pleased to have worked with such a talented management team throughout the process and we look forward to watching their continued success within Davies," commented 7 Mile Executive Director, Simon Baitler.
7 Mile Advisors executed this transaction in partnership with Paradigm Partners International, a group of Insurance industry veterans who act as strategic advisors to 7 Mile's Insurance practice, which is led by Nicholas Prendergast, Leroy Davis, Barry Jacobson, and Simon Baitler. This seasoned team of professionals have been active in the insurance space for over 40 years, and bring a unique perspective to transactions being executed in the space. The DMS acquisition is a key cross border transaction that represents the global reach and forward thinking approach of the team.
"7 Mile Advisors' experience of the M&A process, combined with PPI's collective 150 years of insurance expertise, proved to be a winning combination. We believe their unique approach left management well prepared to navigate the sale process, while minimizing management distraction and maximizing shareholder value," said Steve Miller, DMS COO.
Earlier this year Davies deepened its claims administration offering to include long-term care solutions through the acquisition of TriPlus, which joined the firm's existing Claims Solutions U.S. arm. The acquisition of DMS further broadens Davies' offering into the Life and Health insurance space, adding disability insurance domain expertise, along with 180 new specialist colleagues, who all join Davies.
The additions of TriPlus and DMS together establishes Davies as a leader in life & health claims administration in the U.S. DMS COO Steve Miller will replace current CEO and founder Bob Bonsall, who has retired upon completion of the transaction. Miller will report to Davies' U.S. Life & Health CEO, Peter Lucas.
Davies has established and expanded its operations in the U.S. through a combination of strong organic and M&A growth, with the firm now boasting claims capability spanning both the Property & Casualty and the Life & Health insurance markets. Davies' offering in the U.S. includes a full range of TPA and loss adjusting solutions across all 50 states, as well as captive management and auditing solutions.
DMS CEO, Bob Bonsall, commented, "I am very pleased that DMS is joining forces with an organization that is committed to growth and innovation in the Life & Health insurance market in the U.S. Davies' history of investing in people and technology, along with a commitment to always put the interests of clients first, aligns well with the values upon which DMS has been built. The cultural fit with Davies was an important factor as we planned for our company's future and I believe the combination with Davies will present DMS employees more career development opportunities and an exciting future as the company continues to grow."
Davies Group CEO, Dan Saulter, commented: "It's exciting that we have been able to bring DMS and Davies together and I am delighted to welcome DMS' leadership team, along with the company's broader workforce to our business. Building our Life & Health claims capability in the U.S. is a strategic focus and a growing market. DMS has an excellent reputation, with strong client relationships, and an ethos for great service delivery, all of which provides for close alignment with TriPlus and our wider Davies operations."

Furbo makes a camera that lets you interact with your pets while you're away.
Pets are, by nature, social creatures. Dogs, especially, crave attention from their human owners. Even for dogs that aren't afflicted with separation anxiety, boredom can become a serious issue. Many pet owners leave their animals at home alone for long stretches of the day, making it difficult for them to receive the attention and mental stimulation they require to remain happy and healthy. Furbo makes an interactive pet camera designed specifically to solve this issue. The camera lets you see, talk to, and toss treats to your dog, even when you're not at home. The Furbo camera can be accessed through your smartphone, so you can know what your pet is up to at all times.
The coolest new feature of the Furbo device is the "Smart Dog Alerts" function, which detects and notifies you when your dog is active using A.I.-powered dog recognition. If the dog looks at the camera, it can even take a selfie for you. If a person walks into frame, it can let you know about that, as well. This is useful if you give a dog walker access to your home, for instance, so you can keep track of what's going on while you're away. There's also a microphone and speaker, so you can listen and talk to your pet. The most fun aspect of Furbo is the way the device launches treats at your dog, providing a rewarding and mentally stimulating activity for them to participate in while you're gone. If you're a pet owner who has to leave your animals at home during the day, consider checking out Furbo.


The government's post event handling of the strike on militant camps in Myanmar has come under criticism from the military community.
NEW DELHI: The government's post event handling of the strike on militant camps in Myanmar has come under criticism from the military community as well as operators on the ground, with a view emerging that further operations could be jeopardised due to excessive chest thumping and open statements by ministers scampering to gain political mileage.
Several top retired officers, serving generals and strategic thinkers ET spoke to conceded that while the strike itself was laudable and executed with perfection — as has been done several times in the past — the excessive hype created could be counterproductive to further operations in Myanmar. Also, the extent of information shared —mostly by over eager bureaucrats and often in contradiction to the ground claims of the Army — is an exception from the norm where such operations are kept under tight wraps and bare minimum details shared.
Within the Army, strict instructions have been passed to units and officers to clamp down on information related to the operation after a few photographs purportedly of the participating soldiers did the rounds in social media. While the army is refusing any comments barring the statement made on Tuesday that did not give any specifics, information and details have kept on tricking in, largely from officials involved in internal security.
Counter insurgency expert and Research Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, Col Vivek Chadha, told ET, "The entire establishment and media have gone overboard to give their versions of the story which is likely to create more harm than good to the overall effort." He said "systematic leakage of information is unparalleled in the history of counter-insurgency operations".
"By going a little over board in their comments India also seems to have pushed Myanmar into a corner and somewhat forced them to issue a contradictory statement, and this does not augur well for further counterterrorism cooperation with Myanmar," a senior army official in the Eastern Sector told ET.
The comments, military leaders who have directed and executed counter insurgency and cross border operations say, could be an embarrassment for the Myanmar government that has been cooperating in such strikes in the past.
"The whole publicity, specially the statements by Rathore are ridiculous and juvenile. This will come back to haunt us. The Myanmar government has been embarrassed with the details getting out and the fact is after their cooperation with us that extends back many years, it is not warranted. They will have serious objections," former Northern Army Commander Lt Gen HS Panag told ET.


The Celtic defender has had another fine year for his bhoyhood heroes and has been credited in the magazine as being a very rare breed.
Kieran's stats read very well for 2018: 50 Appearances, 47 starts, 10 assists and 20 clean sheets.
It's rightful the player takes his place on the list as he continues to grow in the game.
Tierney has been linked with a move away from Celtic on several occasions; the most intense speculation came in the summer when Everton were rumoured to be sniffing around the player.
In the end, all the talk came to nothing, and the defender has gone about helping Celtic achieve a potential treble, treble.
While IBWM praises the Celtic player and gives him a terrific rundown, they also send their 'condolences' to Celtic fans for the seemingly inevitable sale of their star player.
They wrote this in their 'What Next' section.
We know that Tierney is blessed with a passion for the game which will ensure a lengthy and glowing career, the question is: how far can he go? A place among the Celtic legends awaits if he wants it, but his exceptional ability hints at a much bigger future, pitting his wits against Europe's elite. Deepest condolences to the Bhoys.
Celtic Park has a strong history of providing the Premier League with high-quality talent. Virgil van Dijk naturally stands out as the most recent example to vindicate that notion, and Tierney may well find himself on a similar path when the time is right.
There might be a time when Kieran moves on but there is a certain amount of pride being taken by the star while he continues to perform for a team that's breaking records and on their way to a ten in a row scenario.

Sunday morning I took Aaron and Jake to the International House of Pancakes for a send off breakfast prior to their last two days on the river. The night before the guys got some of the local flavor of New Orleans as they ate po boy sandwiches and crayfish e'touffee. Carol and I were treated to many stories about Aaron and Jake's trip. They were bright eyed as they told each story with enthusiasm. It seemed one story would stimulate the memory of another story. It was like watching a tennis match listening to the stories shared by both guys. We took a quick stroll down only one block of Bourbon Street when both Aaron and Jake said they should get to bed.
I saw a different demeanor on Aaron and Jake's faces as we walked the two blocks to IHOP. The banter at breakfast was much different than the night before. It was obvious they both had their game faces tightly secured. As a former head coach of 10+ years I have seen this look often. Both men were completely focused on the remaining task at hand. They knew these last two days would be an extreme challenge as the current fades and ocean going ship traffic increases. They ate a sensible breakfast loaded the canoe and were off to finish the trip.
When does this trip end?

SheBloggin's 10 Artists to Watch in 2017
Published on : March 13, 2017 September 5, 2017 Published by : Tasha
I'm a little late this year, but I wanted to take my time to see who's gonna really come wit it for the 1-7. In the past, I've named artists whose work ethic stood out to me, and had been steadily building their buzz. I'll be pointing out a few of them this go round, but also I'll be spotlighting who has a solid plan for the year, and looking forward to seeing their execution. So here we go, 10 artists (or one or two more) to watch in 2017.
Clay James (pictured above)
I put this talented artist on my list last year, and he did not disappoint. He announced in the latter part of last year that he had signed with Snoop Dogg's Doggstyle Records. Since then he's showed no signs of slowing down. He's released new music, and is performing damn near every weekend. He'll be one of many artists performing at this year's SXSW festival, and is slowly catching the attention of many big name artists. I look forward to seeing what the Atlanta native will do this year. Since I ran across him in 2014, he's been on a steady incline.
Kris Tru
Kris is an artist out of South Carolina that I've spotlighted previously due to his unique sound, but this year he gets a spot because after a few years of supplying the people with continuous good music, he's now preparing to release his best project to date. So he's slowed things down a bit, so that he can focus on making this next album, "KT and the Trillfonics", a certified classic. He's where he should be in his career. He's proven that he has the talent, now he's gearing up to prove he knows how to make an album to remember.
I've been following Doe Boy since he was a teenager. I've known him since before he signed with Freebandz, and now after serving a stint in jail, he's coming back stronger than ever. Doe already had the talent, that hard-hitting punch you in your face delivery, but now that he has jail time and a few years of maturity behind him, he's lethal. He's gotta new mixtape coming, "Codeine Confessions" soon, and knowing his work ethic, there will be much more to come this year.
Don-P
Don-P consists of two different talents coming out of Houston, super producer Donnie Houston, and dope rapper Hot Peez. Both of them have been making noise individually around Houston for a while, but when I found out the two decided to join forces, I knew that they would be a match made in heaven. Every offering they've released thus far has been nothing short of high quality, including their debut project, "Lagniappe" which is out now. I hope to see more from these two throughout the New Year.
Continental GT might not be a name you're too familiar with, but back around 2009-2012 he was up next. South Carolina had one in GT, but real life got a hold of him, and he had to tend to his responsibilities and put music on the back burner. Now with life intact, and a new found inspiration, GT is ready to take hold of the mic again, and out rap 90% or more of the rappers that's out. No exaggeration, he drew many comparisons to Styles P, Jadakiss, and even Kendrick Lamar. Also, ya girl is behind him, so look forward to seeing GT around.
Bless The Fresh
Bless The Fresh is a collective of rappers and one dope ass producer out of Houston. Tony Del Freshco, EDF, and King Marco are the talented emcees, and Mike Red is the gifted producer that make up Bless The Fresh. I've spotlighted EDF and Tony individually before, but seeing progress and uniqueness of the group, I had to give them a spot as a whole. Tony and EDF have always had a sound that boasts that of that good ole classic H-town swang that we all love, but their newest addition King Marco has a voice that boosts them as a group. They each possess the lyricism, delivery, and voices, and paired with dope production from Mike and a niche for knowing how to make hit records, these guys are unstoppable.
Rock Ransom
Rock has been grinding for years now. I came across him back in 2010 when he was apart of a duo called Monopoly. Even then, the two were buzzin all around their stomping grounds of South Carolina. But now, Rock has gone solo, and since he broke out he hit the ground running. He's been non stop; performing, shooting visuals, releasing fire records, and interviewing. There's lots of talent in South Carolina, but I'm confident he's next. His work ethic is impeccable, and possessing a solid talent will have him out of here. I'm excited for him, because I know his hard work is gonna pay off, and 2017 will be his year.
Onehunnidt x Bigg Fatts
Onehunnidt and Bigg Fatts, both coming out of Houston, are individually some of the best Houston has to offer, not just on an underground level, but period. As if they each weren't dope enough, they've now decided to join forces and collaborate on a new venture. They've already blessed a with a couple of music releases, which were fire by the way, but we still have a whole project to look forward to from them! Their debut collaborative project "Smokey and Craig" will be released later this year, and judging from what I've heard so far, that project is gonna be serious. These two might be a dynamic duo.
CaesarCMK
Caesar is an artist who's been hard at work for a good number of years now. He's always produced quality music and videos, and carried unique talent along with him, but after a brief hiatus, he's getting ready to come back with a vengeance. The Florida native already has a strong set of singles, music videos, and a whole album ready, he's just planning and preparing his execution. This year I'm spotlighting those who have a plan and are ready to make serious noise. Caesar is one of them, don't sleep on this forthcoming talent, never underestimate an artist with a plan and the material to back it up!
Cole Connor
Cole Connor is a part of South Carolina hip hop collective, New Success Culture, a group full of gifted emcees around SC. Cole Connor has always been a standout in the group, and late last year he broke out and recorded his solo debut project, "SODA". The album received rave reviews from listeners and media outlets across the board. It was a great debut for him, but if he keeps going as he should, it will serve as a warm up for much more to come from the talented emcee. Cole is impressive, and he has a bright future ahead of him. He could be the one to give South Carolina the voice is so needs.

Lately…. | how's it going, eh?
Yes, still moving + trying to fit in some fun time in between! Because moving = painful. And I need to slack off!!!
I should get me a job at Crate + Barrel, yo!!! These delicate items be swaddled like babies!!!
Here's Jeff shaking down some deals on his mobile. That's what they call it in Canada. In the U.S. they just plain ol' call it a cell phone.
On moving days he likes to dress up as a 1970's longshoreman. What's with all those clothes? Don't even start with me people!!! I KNOW!!!! I'M TRYING!!!
Megumi is supposed to be my helper, but she's too busy looking at her pretty little reflection in picture frames, dreamily staring out the window, or spazzing out running around at mach speed for no apparent reason. Absolutely no help.
But it hasn't been tooo excrutiating lately. I've finally joined the modern world + signed on to Netflix streaming + have been watching Hot Fuzz while packing. If you haven't seen it yet – SEE IT!!!!! Nothing like a good Simon Pegg/Nick Frost laugh while in the depths of misery.
But I have to step away every once in a while or I'd go mad! Here's a couple pictures from my mini escapes that I've taken throughout the week.
A shy chicken behind a cafe..
And beautiful, vibrant dahlias at Granville Island! I LOVE DAHLIAS!!!!
Oh, + I feel like I owe Vancouver an apology.
I've been bagging on it so much lately that I think it decided to give me a break + October has been non-stop sun! It's been super ideal for moving without rain pelting on us. I wish I could enjoy it more + go play, but the little breaks I've had in the Vancouver sun have been so awesome! Vancouver, why you no be like this all the time?!
for the kool photo's, have a great weekend, Hey 2 Jeff!!!!
Thanks for the well wishes, Dad!!!! Love you too!
Love the Photos! and I thought I was the only one who loves my flip-flops so much that I don't mind looking goofy by wearing socks with them as the weather cools, haha.
I'm slowly getting my stuff organized and packed because we got our PPR so it won't be long until I too will be a Canadian resident! YAY! All the patient waiting and staying positive the whole time is coming to fruition! Ok, that probably is not a truthful assessment of how I've been, and yet time goes by anyway, and FINALLY!!! We are almost there!!!
Wow! Congratulations!!! We still have a ways to go on immigration because we applied inland! Good luck with the packing!!! It really is a chore, isn't it?!
1) When I moved in here, after moving something like 12 times in the previous 10 years, I told George, "You know you're going to have to dynamite me out of here, right?" I feel your pain, sister.
2) A woman who was recently made over on "What Not to Wear"? Named Megumi. All I could think of was you.
Hope you get some much-needed chill time!
I have seen the program"What Not to Wear"Named Megumi. She was too fanny.
I am glad that you had many helpers the day of move. I am so blessed to hear your moving is almost done. Congratulation to you, Jeff and Megumi.
Thanks!!!! My mom was telling about Megumi from the show, also! I've got to find that episode! I'm glad you + George have stayed put!!! I'm hoping to do the same – thanks for the sympathes!!!
And I LOVE Hot Fuzz. If you like it, you should make sure you see his most recent one, The World's End. It wasn't quite as good, but still definitely worth seeing!
I haven't seen World's End yet! You know me, always so behind with the entertainment industry!!!!
i like your husband's style!
Hey, thanks!!! People either dig it, or they're slightly unsure + scared of it!


(01-17-2016, 12:24 PM)freddy Wrote: I have a Kaweco Sport clear demonstrator fountain pen with an extra fine (EF) nib that has been my everyday carry for a few years. I love its incredibly smooth writing and the fact that it is a pocket pen so, when capped, easily fits into some of my shorter polo shirt pockets. However, over the years, it has taken some knocks. The cap has a small crack in it from an accidental drop and, because of that, will sometimes separate from the pen body while in my pocket (though I have never had an inky mess because of that). For the last few months I have been thinking of replacing the pen with a new one.
A couple of weeks ago, I came across a German company on the web and saw on their site a Kaweco Sport special edition Cognac demonstrator. I have not seen that color here in the U.S. and it was love at first sight. Not only that but they offered a bronze colored clip instead of the usual gold color. The clips are sold separately and are removable. The price for the pen was considerably less than what a popular American web company was charging for their Koweco Sports ($20.53 vs. $27.00 for the EF nib versions) and the American company didn't have the Cognac color. Even when adding the cost for the clip, it was less than for the pen alone at the U.S. based company. Add to that the fact that shipping from Germany was free ( ) and the pen was being sold for a bargain price, in my opinion. I decided to take a chance so ordered the pen and clip. The company states to expect a wait of 1-2 weeks for the mail to get through, even though they ship same or next day. I ordered it on 4 January and it arrived somewhere between the 10th and 13th. I was out of town then so do not know the exact date it was delivered but that is darn good from Germany to San Diego. If anyone is interested, here is the site: seitz-kreuznach.de. They sell many interesting articles and seem to accomodate folks from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan, as well as Germany (and I assume the EU) specifically.
The pen was put in a thick cardboard envelope but the company even included the box, collapsed, and the little flyer about the pen. All Kaweco Sports come with a cartridge.
A writing sample. Rather than use the blue cartridge that came with the pen, I filled an empty cartridge with De Atramentis Scottish Whiskey ink. This is a scented ink but only if you get close while writing. It dries scentless, though I do like the color and think it is a great match for the color of the pen. Cognac and Scotch, what an alcoholic writing experience.

I noticed that after I posted this, Ed. Either it's no longer made or Goulet dropped the color.
Ed, I saw that gift set after I ordered my pen otherwise I would have purchased it, instead. I am very happy with the Cognac pen and think you may be, as well.
Go for it Java, one can never have enough fountain pens.
I like the way you think, Aleksey.
You have many great pens Phillip! Grab a plexi thater!

It is my understanding that the 4125 and 49125 brushes have the same backbone/density. The main difference being the plexi handle vs the black/ivory ones.
With inspiration from Freddy I received my Kaweco Sport Gift Set today. EF Nib, Gold Clip, and cartridges. Will give it a run at work tomorrow.
Lovely, Ed! Enjoy the pen.
Very nice Ed! What is your ink choice for this beauty?
Thank You Celestino and Oguz!
The set was supplied with Seitz Kreuznach Colors of Nature LE Chestnut Brown so I will start with one to see.
I sent a Christmas letter to some friends and mentioned I had gotten into fountain pens in 2015. The husband received two pens through his job at Dell, he didn't want them, and *gasp* he was going to throw them away! Fortunately, his wife suggested I might want them, and she dropped them off last night.
The first is a Francesco Rubinato dip pen from Italy, which included the holder and a bottle of blue ink with a wax seal. I found an online retailer selling them for $101. This is my first dip pen, and I quickly penned them a thank you letter last night with it. It feels like a medium to broad nib based on the line width.
The second is a C/C Aldo Domani with a German iridium nib. It appears to be an inexpensive pen; however, it feels good in hand, and writes a nice medium line.
As for a pen around the $50.00 mark, I really like my TWSBI Diamond 540. I have a fine nib on mine.

Coronavirus updates and FAQs for international and study abroad students, visiting scholars, and faculty: Latest Information
Traveling internationally for Notre Dame? There's a registration for that.
Author: Gwen O'Brien and Shannon Roddel, University Communications
The University urges faculty and staff traveling abroad for work to register the travel at ndi-tr.nd.edu. Registration is mandatory for undergraduate students traveling internationally on University-sponsored travel, and is strongly encouraged for graduate students, faculty and staff.
Jaime Signoracci, who joined Notre Dame International (NDI) in August as associate director of international travel safety, explains why it's important to register.
"The University partners with leading travel assistance firms to continuously monitor the world for incidents and events that have the potential to impact our international travelers wherever they might be. By registering your trip, NDI will know where you are, how to best contact you in an emergency to confirm your safety, and how to quickly assist you when you need it most," she says.
The registry and the Travel & Safety section of the NDI website, international.nd.edu/travel-safety, also offer travelers access to pre-departure resources, information and advice on a wide variety of topics, from traveling with medications to practicing good situational awareness to what to do if you find yourself in an earthquake.
An earthquake is exactly what Sarah Craig, communications specialist with Notre Dame Research, experienced in Haiti in 2010. Back then she was the program manager for the Notre Dame Haiti Program, which works with partners to eradicate lymphatic filariasis, a debilitating mosquito-borne disease.
"I was the program manager from 2003 to 2011, and I traveled to the country often," Craig says.
So frequently that Craig admits she had become lax in filling out the Department of Biological Sciences travel paperwork. (This was before NDI launched the online registry.) Craig says if she had filed her January 2010 travel plans, there would have been a record of her anticipated whereabouts when the earthquake hit.
On January 12, 2010, Craig, a colleague, a postdoctoral student and the founder of the Haiti Program, the Rev. Thomas Streit, C.S.C., were at Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince attending a semiannual partners meeting. The four were standing on open hotel balconies when the ground shifted violently. They rode the building down as it pancaked to the ground. Fortunately, they sustained only minor cuts and bruises.
Someone at the University checked in with the Department of Biological Sciences to see if there were Notre Dame faculty or staff in Haiti. The office didn't have record of the travel, so the response was "no."
"That was an administrative lesson learned the hard way," says Craig. "We never again forgot to do our paperwork."
While the University previously tracked travel on paper, NDI launched the online University-wide travel registry in 2014.
"NDI partners with many other divisions, primarily Student Affairs, General Counsel, Risk Management, Campus Safety and Emergency Management," Signoracci says, adding, "In my short time at Notre Dame, I've been impressed with the comprehensive travel health and safety resources to help support the University's international travelers, including faculty and staff."
And, as Signoracci points out, planning and preparation can help mitigate the majority of travel risks before leaving. The first step is to register work-related trip in NDI's Travel Registry system.
If you have questions, please email travelregistry@nd.edu.
Planning to travel abroad with students?
Get to know Jaime Signoracci, associate director of international travel and safety, who will…

2023 BMW M750e xDrive hybrid could make around 560 horsepower
Home » Models » 7 Series » 2023 BMW M750e xDrive hybrid could make around 560 horsepower
The 2023 BMW M750e xDrive will be the top plug-in hybrid model of the new G70 7 Series family. The refreshed limousine will start production this Summer with a variety of drivetrains. The plug-in hybrid M750e xDrive will join the production lines late in the year before it arrives on global markets in early 2023.
The rumormill churns out that the drivetrain will consist of the B58 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor sending around 560 horsepower to all four wheels. Furthermore, the M750e is tuned by the M division so it will come with some design bits specific to its badge. Its driving experience will likely be improved compared to the entry-level BMW 745e xDrive.
Speaking of the entry-level 7 Series hybrid, the new G70 PHEV will likely use the same drivetrain as the M750e but with less power. No rumors around the power output, but we suspect below the 500 mark to not overlap with the M Performance model.
Rendering by www.instagram.com/germanysfinest43
Design wise, the new luxury limousine will adopt a new design language previewed by the Concept XM, featuring the same split headlight arrangement. Recent spy photos also reveal a massive kidney grille on the 7 Series, along with a massive and bold front-end. Speaking of which, according to a forum post, from a source with a good track record, the front grilles of the new 7 Series will have a different look than the ones used right now.
The grille might feature a single-piece frame. The design hints at a unified body for the two sides, similar to what we've seen on the 8 Series for example. It will also house a massive radar right in the middle of it, a solution needed for the advanced driving aids of the new luxury limousine. The fullsize high-end sedan brimming with tech will feature a level 3 autonomous driving system, but it remains to be seen which markets will get the regulators' approval.
In addition, previously unavailable features are apparently coming, including an illuminated front grille, fully automatic doors à la Rolls-Royce Phantom, an upgraded Executive Lounge configuration, additional Individual customization options, and a better Bowers & Wilkins sound system.
Coming with air suspension and soft-close doors standard across the range, the new BMW 7 Series will reportedly enter production in July next year and receive a mid-cycle facelift in March 2026 before bowing out in June 2029.

Karl Lagerfeld Took Us Around the World in 200 Looks at His Spring 1996 Chanel Show
By Laird Borrelli-Persson
Editor's note: Vogue Runway is closing out the decade by adding six archival Chanel shows to our collections archive. They honor the memory of Karl Lagerfeld, the giant and prolific talent who designed them, and speak to the 2010s obsession with all things 1990s. These shows might be pre-internet, but they contain many Instagrammable moments. Do share.
Guests arrived at Chanel's spring 1996 show to find a giant globe sitting at the end of the runway. When the lights went down, it split open to reveal Claudia Schiffer, Karl Lagerfeld's muse at the time. What did it symbolize? That the Chanel codes had gone "viral"? Or that the house was at the center of the fashion galaxy? In the end, it acted like a prop against which the designer played with the ideas of casual dressing and escapism.
Months after this collection was shown, Vogue published "Fear of Fridays," an article that spoke about the tailspin caused by the spread of the casual-Friday concept in business, one that gave rise to a new, more comfortable work uniform built around chinos. Lagerfeld swapped out the preppy blue blazer for a pastel one, added a cropped T-shirt (which was certainly not work appropriate at that time) and a belt or two, et voilà! Casual chic the Chanel way.
Having given a slight tomboy twist to ladylike separates, Lagerfeld took things up or down a notch—depending on how you look at it—in the casual stakes. A denim story was followed by a sportier sun-and-sand section that included nylon beach shorts. Amber Valletta's were paired with a bikini "top" made out of logoed pasties that were tentatively held in place with a slender string. Hey, they would have been safe for Instagram. More traditional swimwear was on offer as well. A Vogue article titled "Taste Test" suggested that "Lagerfeld was doing a nice little send-up of the trashy glamour of Baywatch." The following section anticipated Juicy Couture by nearly a decade; it consisted of logoed velour pieces—including tracksuits.
Propriety ruled in the end. The show concluded with a series of evening looks that were somewhat early '60s in their silhouettes, all in white shantung and trimmed with sequined florals.
