This is only a 2-parter, so this exciting episode will bring the curtain down on Lin Biao and his famous "Incident." We resume the story following the 1970 Lushan Plenum. Lin, or Lin's ambitious manipulators, pushed Chairman Mao just a bit too much at this meeting, and he decided to take immediate action. This whole 913 Incident, as you will hear, was a huge embarrassment to the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, it's not surprising that they circled the wagons and went beyond the call of duty to cover up what could still be covered up. Mao had to be careful. With a history filled with men like Wang Mang, Zhu Wen, Zhao Kuangyin, and Yuan Shikai, he knew he had to watch these generals. So here's all the various fun bits of speculation surrounding the days of September 12-13, 1971. No Beatles references in this episode, though I was tempted to mention that Stella McCartney was born on the exact day of the plane crash that ended Lin Biao's life. Thanks everyone, for listening. This episode was posted to Patreon and CHP Premium back in February. Consider joining. You'd have my everlasting appreciation.

In this episode of Beyond the Tech, Bryan and Alex sit down with Valeria Breda, CIO of Versace, to explore her inspiring journey through the world of luxury fashion and technology. Valeria shares how her early days at Louis Vuitton, followed by senior roles at Kering (including Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen), shaped her approach to leadership, innovation, and resilience in a dynamic industry. Valeria opens up about the unique challenges of balancing brand autonomy with group-level strategy, while also reflecting on the deep passion embedded in Versace's culture, the importance of breaking down silos, and what it means to lead with both authority and influence in a heritage brand undergoing transformation. The conversation explores the evolving role of technology as an enabler rather than a full-blooded disruptor, with Valeria speaking candidly about Versace's enthusiastic embrace of AI and other digital innovations. She is clear, however, that while technology is playing a growing role in streamlining operations and driving innovation, it will not compromise or intrude upon the brand's creative and design processes. Finally, she shares her personal leadership journey as a woman in tech, offering honest reflections and valuable advice for emerging female leaders and detailing how she built resilience and influence in a traditionally male-dominated industry.Listeners will hear honest reflections on imposter syndrome, digital transformation, the convergence of retail and e-commerce, and what it really takes to lead change in a high-pressure, highly creative environment. Whether you're in fashion, tech, or leadership, this episode is packed with insights, strategy, and inspiration you won't want to miss.
Host Philip Berman talks to Maxine Bedat, Executive Director at New Standard Institute, the official sponsor of the Fashion Environmental Accountability Act, a new bill introduced into the California State Assembly at the start of February 2025 which, if enacted, would become the first law in the country to require brands to engage in “environmental due diligence” concerning their products and supply chains. This Californian Bill is essentially the same as the 'New York Fashion Act' which was introduced into the New York State legislature in 2022 - though it's not yet law - and which is also backed by Maxine, The New Standard Institute and a broad coalition of industry folk including influential names such as, Rothys, Everlane, Reformation, Eileen Fisher, Patagoina, ThredUp, Circ, Vestiaire Collective, Stella McCartney, Ganni, Faherty, Cotopaxi, NRDC, Sierra Club, Canopy, Trove, EVRNU, American Academy of Pediatrics. Full list at thefashionact.org Maxine talks about both bills, their purpose, what stage they have reached in the legislative process. what it's like trying to push through groundbreaking legislation in two states on opposite sides of the US, simultaneously, whether her work has become harder with President Trump in the White House, and how she manages to build broad support with politicians of all persuasions.

in maintenance repair and operations so whenever you want to talk shop just Reach Out call click granger.com or just stop by Granger for the ones who get it done hey guys so third coffee nothing but phone calls for the last half hour anyway my new um project if you like or thing F the thing with being a recycler right you're always finding new things and new possibilities and new ideas inspiring ideas things that you can use and the other day I was out and about um with my brother we go on these Adventures on Thursdays right and I'd come across a shop that sold fossils and minerals um Rocks Crystals all that sort of thing um snails uh water snail casings and just um absolutely fantastic and I got really excited by them all um and my brother is a photographer stock photographer and there was some Driftwood there it was quite pricey some lovely Driftwood um anyway I was thinking about this Driftwood and I was thinking about how there's so much of it here where I live and thinking that's quite a cool resource isn't it I could sort of forage can you forage for something you can't eat or does foraging mean eating I'm not sure stuff you can eat but I can certainly acquire um bits of wood that I mean and sticks sticks interesting sticks and I really like this idea of sculpting playing creating art from stuff that I found the found object I do it with music I do it with my artworks now I've just done I've just released a load of artworks actually on blink friction which are um graffiti stencils on a a Victorian Bible that was very broken so it couldn't be sold on it was inappropriate for selling but it was fine for recycling as most things are so so much you can do with with recycled materials there really is and it really adds a curiousness and an interest I think to the finished product so really pleased actually with I sold one as well which is really good so if you pop over to eBay and maybe if you search blink friction I don't know I'm not sure if that will come up but if you go to my websites you you'll be able to see all of the wonderful wonderful artworks and fashion that I'm now forging ahead with but I've got so much uh Ro so many raw materials i' I've spent the last month sourcing Bargains on eBay of job lots of things like Army Surplus stuff um patches and old Levis old denim denim's wonderful absolutely wonderful thing to recycle it it's just perfect because barring things like glue if you get glue on denim is no good you won't get that off I don't I think certain glues will never come off anything look like a sort of Evo stick you know that's slightly yellow and it was horrific you there is nothing you can do with glue damaged Fabrics that I have discovered okay you may know differently tell me go to the blog and write me a message go to my Facebook or something so um I've put all this stuff in the cupboard but I did realize that the this it's kind of it makes me feel unsanitary Because unless they've been washed so everything that comes in needs to be washed but you know there's still this sort of idea that it's been around a bit and it's not you know it's not your brand spanking new Vivian Westwood that you just bought in Bond Street or something to you see what I mean it's it hasn't got quite got that same um ring to it or sense about it and of course this it's a sense that I love I love the sense the idea of buying an old Victorian Bible page that has been graffitied um and then you know mounting it in an expensive 3D frame or something really classy really Chic that I think is the perfect mix I do think if you buy a bit of artwork that's recycled you have to think very long and hard about how you're going to display it to make it make sure it's no longer a a Castaway and it doesn't feel like a cast away it doesn't feel like you know if you put it in a a 2bit frame that you know that's got scratches on it and um or a mass-produced plastic frame for example that really you didn't think too much about perhaps if you don't mount it that's always a giveaway should always mount an original artwork so you know these there are ways of making recycled art look really top-notch but you do have to think about it a bit anyway back to the Driftwood so um I was thinking about Driftwood a lot because I was minded of a a frame that I made for a friend very very large drift wood frame and I had to keep going out and sourcing this Driftwood and drying it out and then gluing it onto the mirror and she she said she absolutely loved it I don't know if it was a lie or not I always felt it was but uh in later years I confronted her about it and she promised me that it was absolutely wonderful and she loved it I still don't know if that's actually true so but let Let's Pretend shall we that she thought it was absolutely F she very classy lady as well um so yeah um I was Googling yesterday basically I was Googling how can I be a millionaire with Recycling and I was hoping for some inspiration um but the inspiration that came were well the fact finding Mission the stats proved that the most lucrative of all reclaim is metal so scrap metal that's where the the do is guys scrap metal so you know there are you can be a millionaire but you need a probably a string of scrap metal yards um it's interesting isn't it how something so tangled and dirty could create money I I did find that interesting um there's no way I'm going to do that there's no way I'm going to go out in the middle of the night and rob derel houses of their lead and you know other scraps or buy up old knacked washing machines and sell them for scrap that's just not going to happen um that's not quite what they do though is it I don't know how does scrap what what happens to scrap metal when it's taken into the the yard what happens after that I'm not I'm not 100% sure um I know you can go to a scrap yard and buy bits and in fact my godfather was being really annoying the other day he was saying oh you can go when your em is uh up and they tell you what's wrong you can go and get the pieces that you need secondhand from from scrapyards and my mom and I were like no we're not going to do that and he say no it's very easy just go along and and he would not bloody shut up about it and we were like f off can you imagine well you I don't know if you can but my mother and I a 60 and an 80y old teetering into a scrap metal yard a an old car dumped car place looking for old brake pads so say oh yeah we'll have those I mean do they even get them out for you they probably do actually don't they but no it's not going to happen I mean I I couldn't possibly I've got a bright yellow coat that I'm wearing at the moment um Stella McCartney and there's no way I'd walk in there I'd get dirty I could I'd get dirty just looking at it do you know what I mean this is how I feel about all these reclaimed Levis that I've got slightly Mucky so I've I've found a home for all this stuff that's going to last me two years before I upcycle everything it might even last me 5 years you know but I'm going to make a point of you know trying to create one thing a week for for the clothing cuz blink friction clothing is close to my my heart anyway um so scrap metal was out but then I thought well what natural resources are here you know in my locality and there actually loads lots of fossils and um minerals and and rocks and certain interesting finds that you can you know you scour around this guy at this shop the other day told me that because the the solent between the aisle of white and uh gosport is the it used to be before it was water logged it used to be forest and it and inhabited with people and there are parts of the area this chap told me that you can go to When the tide is out and you can see the old tree stumps you can actually see them because the water's darker or some something he said so I'm absolutely without a Shadow of Doubt want to go there next Thursday I'm really Keen to try that out um but also the Driftwood so I I found some recycled Driftwood models things that people had made with the Driftwood and they excited me greatly people are making Thrones for your garden out of Driftwood fantastic um thousands of pounds and I thought wow that's really adding a lot of value I mean I I'm not much of a carpenter it would be difficult for me to make from scratch something like that but it wouldn't be difficult to get the chair and then to adhes is that a word adhere God I'm visualizing here that the throne that I would make it wouldn't be beyond my cap capabilities to to you know glue basically glue bits of Driftwood all over the chair and create something other something up upcycled something rather fantastic and I'm I'm really Keen to give it a go I over the moon that I found something that that's kind of fidly fiddly and therapeutic but different to Denim because the denims I'm kind of bored of the denim now um so the other thing is you can just get bits of Driftwood and bits of drift Driftwood once they're dried out they they're either soft or hardwood you can tell by pting your nail in and Crafters love them Crafters love Driftwood so the more unusual the shape or I'll tell you who uses Driftwood t

We've finally got our noses on a brilliant collection of affordable fragrances (including the most realistic rhubarb we've ever smelled), an intoxicating scent inspired by the red light district of Paris (ooh la la!), and an intriguing murder mystery game to play with a perfume set. Plus - a fragrance featuring an incredible *100-year old Mysore sandalwood*! We've also got a list of suggestions for a listener seeking to capture the smell of forest walks and mountain hikes, and some ideas for a lovely friend to gift her BFF (whose signature scent was the much missed Stella by Stella McCartney).All this, and chats ranging from Nicola's personal perfume selector, meetings with squirrels, the salacious history of the colour red, and mince pie crumble (including a disagreement over what's best to serve WITH a crumble. Suzy says custard, Nicola says… well. You have to hear it to believe it!)We discuss…@arkiveheadcare fragrancesDecorated Woods:No One ElsieFuture BloomA Kind of Floral @dsanddurga Murder Mystery layering set Pat Von Chouli - Transparent patchouli with a signature spicy-earthy quality.Professor Rose - Dewy fresh rose petals with a delicate sandalwood base.Prince Amber - Soft desert ambers, fine incense.Madam Currant - Dark fruits with deep transparent moss.Dr. Newman Hay - Country airs of new mown hay & meadowsI Don't Know What - A fragrance enhancer with transparent radiance.@bdkparfumsparis Rouge Smoking Extrait @aftelierperfume Mandy Aftel Sacre Bleu#listenerprescriptions For Iesha @thegirlwiththewavyhair:@moncler Les Sommet La Cordée@montblanc Montblanc Collection Vetiver Glacier@andy_tauer L'AIR DES ALPES SUISSES For Alicja (to gift her friend, Stella):@maisonmargiela Lazy Sunday Morning @essential.parfums Rose Magnetic@tocca Stella
In this episode of Style DNA I go on a style journey with Entrepreneur, Celebrity Influencer, Presenter and Media Personality …the exquisite Rosemin. I first met Rosemin when she hosted a dinner for me in Dubai in 2018 to promote my new collection…what was lovely is that pretty much every woman attending that dinner arrived wearing Wakeley, and it felt like the most generous endorsement of me as a designer. Rosemin grew up in Canada, her family emigrated there from East Africa in the 70's escaping Idi Amin's regime and effectively having to start over but exhibiting an incredible entrepreneurial work ethic to Rosemin and her brother. Her early passion for fashion took her to study fashion marketing at The London College of Fashion and then Rosemin cut her teeth in the fashion world working for Mr Ford, as in Tom Ford himself. Clearly the opportunity to work so closely with him was incredibly important to Rosemin, witnessing first hand how he approached his Creative Director role. Following her time at the Gucci Group she was head hunted to help launch Juicy Couture in the UK and Europe. Her honed eye meant that she approached celebrity seeding in a very targeted way, and it worked. Celebrities from Kate Moss, to Gwyneth Paltrow to Queen Rania of Jordan were all photographed wearing the newly expanded collection of Juicy… the sunglasses, the slip dresses and the trench coats. Rosemin recently remarried in Paris and we talk about her Faraz Manan wedding lenge (exquisite) and her Tamara Ralph gown (fairytale)..and why she chose these designers. We discuss the longevity of Chanel…what a brilliant job Stella McCartney is doing championing sustainability in fashion…her style icons…and the joy of wearing an Abaya … I hope you enjoy this episode …thank you Rosemin for being such an inspiring guest!
Born in the small town of Hastings, New Zealand, Derek grew up in a working-class family with limited financial means and modest aspirations. His unexpected passion for photography ignited when he was a young bank teller and noticed a wedding photographer's bank statement, revealing the potential to make a living from photography. This serendipitous moment set Derek on a journey that has taken him around the world, from Sydney to Los Angeles, London, and back to Sydney. Along the way, he has worked with high-profile names such as Stella McCartney, David Walsh (MONA) and Donald Trump (in his pre-President days). Throughout his career, Derek has learned that mastering photography goes beyond understanding technical aspects like light, composition, and form. It's equally about communication, direction, and most importantly, honesty. “That's kind of all you have – honesty. I think people appreciate you when you are honest with them”. It's this kind of transparency that helps him capture the best images and achieve the best results for his clients. Listen in as Vince and Derek discuss the role of communication when working with individuals, agencies, magazines and fashion brands, and how photographing Stella McCartney unearthed a surprising connection to a Beatles parade he attended as a baby.

I modevärlden har det under senare år rått lite av en kysk klosterstämning. Men där har man tidigare verkligen inte sparat på krutet när det gäller att använda sig av just sex. Och efter visningarna inför nästa års vårmode i Paris verkar det faktiskt som om sexet är tillbaka. Hur kommer det tas emot den här gången? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I början av 1970-talet döpte den brittiska designern Vivienne Westwood sin första butik kort och gott till ”Sex”. En butik där punkmodet började ta fart, ett mode inspirerat av så kallad bondage. Och sedan rullade det på i allt snabbare takt. I början av 2000-talet började man till och med tala om en sorts ”porrifiering” av modet. Inte minst tack vare att då trendskapande fotografer skapade den ena kontroversiella bilden efter den andra.Men efter metoo blev många försiktiga med att spela på några som helst erotiska strängar,. Till och med ordet ”sexy” började betraktas som ofräscht när det gällde marknadsföring. För vem skulle vara sexig, för vem? Och hur? Och vem bestämde det? Istället växte en flora av ord som ”female empowerment” och ”self-expression” fram.Men efter visningarna inför nästa års vårmode i Paris nyligen så löd i alla fall en rubrik: ”sex is back on the table”. För flera stora modemärken som Hermès, Stella McCartney och Balenciaga visade en hel del vågade plagg, jämförelsevis. Det var skira halvt genomskinliga byxor och blusar, extremt lågt skurna jeans – även för killar – och en hel del underkläder i form av BH:ar och strumpeband av spets. Och på tal om just underkläder så re-lanserade märket Victoria's Secret sin stora spektakulära modeshow i tisdags.I veckans program möter vi Billy Andersson, printredaktör på tidningen Resumé, som rapporterat mycket om klädföretaget American Apparel och deras chockerande sexuella bilder. Christian Larson är creative director på underklädesföretaget CDLP – han berättar om hur de gestaltar sexighet idag, framför allt när det gäller män. Jacob Östberg, professor i företagsekonomi på Stockholms universitet, förklarar hur man gör för att ta över och förnya ett varumärke.Veckans gäst är Philip Warkander, universitetslektor i modevetenskap, som diskuterar varifrån de sexuella influenserna kommer idag.

This year's games will see some smaller labels on the podium as athletes wear less-well known clothing brands.

Lots of brands, from BMW to Stella McCartney to Allbirds, are using all-natural fibers, textiles, and even shoe soles that are nontoxic and totally recyclable. And all of those materials come from one place: NFW, or Natural Fiber Welding. Molly Wood interviews Luke Haverhals, the founder and CEO of NFW, about how the company develops “recipes” using abundant natural resources and runs them through existing manufacturing infrastructure, enabling a scalable transition away from fossil fuel-derived materials.RESOURCES & LINKSNFW: https://nfw.earth/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://plus.acast.com/s/everybody-in-the-poolPlease subscribe and tell your friends about EITP!

Stella McCartney, Marine Serre and Lilia Litkovska are three designers united in their belief that fashion, a notoriously polluting industry that often encourages excessive consumption, can itself be part of the solution. Through their latest ready-to-wear collections for next autumn and winter they showcase more sustainable modes of production, and advocate for fashion that has both style and heart. FRANCE 24 went to check out their Paris shows.
We meet living LEGEND, the English sculptor, performance artist, jewellery-maker, portraitist and all-round cultural ICON... Andrew Logan!!!!! We learn about his friendships with Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwood, Derek Jarman and his recent collaboration with Stella McCartney for her Paris catwalk show.Logan (b. 1945) belongs to a unique school of English eccentrics. One of Britain's principal sculptural artists, he challenges convention, mixes media and plays with our artistic values. Since its beginnings, Logan's work has depended on the inventive use of whatever was to hand. With flair and fantasy he transformed real objects into their new and different versions. His artistic world includes fauna, flora, planets and gods. His love of travel provides the bases for several series of work.Born in Oxford in 1945, he qualified in architecture in the late 1960s and has worked across the fields of sculpture, stage design, drama, opera, parades, festivals and interior design. To him, “Art can be discovered anywhere.”Logan crosses cultures and embodies artistic fantasy in a unique and unprecedented way. His work is the art of popular poetry and metropolitan glamour. From his early fame amongst London's fashionable crowd, he has become an influential artist of international stature, with exhibitions as far afield as Los Angeles (USA), Monterrey (Mexico) and St Petersburg (Russia).Versatile and enterprising designer and sculptor, born in Witney, Oxfordshire, who graduated with a diploma in architecture from Oxford School of Architecture, 1964–70. He “experienced Flower Power” in America in 1967. Did a hologram course at Goldsmiths' College, 1982. Logan was noted for projects carried out with a showbiz flair, who to some dressed weirdly, producing camp sculptures, costumes and jewellery out of mirror and lurid plastic, but who was undeniably dedicated and persistent. He said that his aim was “to bring joy and happiness to the world”.Logan was most famous as the inventor and impresario of The Alternative Miss World, which began in 1972, the series continuing periodically at various venues. The first showing of the film The Alternative Miss World was held at the Odeon, Leicester Square, 1979, followed by the Cannes Film Festival, 1980.Follow @AndrewLoganSculptor and his official website: https://www.andrewlogan.com/Logan had his first solo show at New Art Centre, 1973. Other events in his multi-faceted career included Egypt Revisited, sound and light spectacular in a tent on Clapham Common, 1978; decorations for Zandra Rhodes' fashion show, 1980; Snow Sculpture World Championships, Finland, 1982; piece in Holographic Show, York Arts Festival, 1984; debut as a theatre designer, Wolfy, Ballet Rambert, Big Top, Battersea, 1987; retrospective, Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, 1991, with tour; Jewels Fantasy Exhibition, Victoria & Albert Exhibition, 1992; a show at Cheltenham Art Gallery, 2000–1, and watercolours at A&D Gallery, 2002, in the same year there sharing an exhibition with Duggie Fields.

In 1993 the National Portrait Gallery bought two portraits. Was based at The Glasshouse, Melier Place, where he also held exhibitions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On a recent day in the Cardamom Mountains of southwest Cambodia, a local resident steered a boat along a calm waterway, pointing out plants grown by community members: durian, banana, jackfruit, avocado. This area has seen increased patrolling by the Cambodian military, environmental officials and staff of the New York-based nonprofit Wildlife Alliance, according to the man, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution. “All of this farmland belongs to people. Starting from the border of the forest, that's where people have enjoyed farming every year for a long time,” he said. “We've done farming here for many years already before they came to do conservation.” Cambodia's monsoonal wet season drenches Toap Khley village in the Southern Cardamom National Park's Areng Valley. Credit: Anton L. Delgado/Southeast Asia Globe The small farms dotting the riverbank are part of a protected area that is now being enforced through a forest carbon offset project known as the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project. A new report from Human Rights Watch found that the project had violated the rights of Indigenous Chong people who live here, documenting forced evictions, arrests and harassment. The project brought in more than $18 million by 2021 through carbon credit sales. Companies including Delta Air Lines, Stella McCartney, McKinsey and Boeing bought the credits in an attempt to reduce their overall carbon footprint, in this case, by supporting a project that patrols a conservation area to prevent deforestation. The industry has faced a slew of critical coverage in the last few years, with accusations that projects have overstated their climate benefits. The research from Human Rights Watch indicates that these projects can also harm local and Indigenous groups in the name of conservation.

Delgado/Southeast Asia Globe Empty boats line one side of the riverbank, as the Chong Indigenous fishers and farmers are restricted from crossing over to cultivate their crops, the resident explained.The local people support conservation of forested areas, he said, but want to continue cultivating crops in areas that have long been agricultural plots. Instead, members of his community have been arrested for collecting sustainable forest products, had their crops destroyed and huts burned down, according to the report.“People are farming on land that they have customarily thought belongs to them but the interpretation of the project is that this farming amounts to an environmental crime,” said Luciana Téllez Chávez, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch and the lead author of the report. “Some people have also been jailed for basically just performing the activities that have formed the core of their livelihoods for generations.”Luciana Téllez Chávez, senior researcher, Human Rights Watch“Some people have also been jailed for basically just performing the activities that have formed the core of their livelihoods for generations.” A bathroom, supported by the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project within the national park, is visible from the rain-drenched gate of a home in Samraong village. Credit: Anton L. Delgado/Southeast Asia Globe This carbon offset project was able to sell credits at higher prices because it received additional certifications reserved for projects that specifically benefit local and Indigenous communities. But Human Rights Watch found that the process of obtaining "free, prior and informed consent" from residents did not begin until 2 and 1/2 years after the project had already started. “I cannot imagine a more egregious problem than reversing free, prior and informed consent. If you say that happened and the opposite happened, why should I trust anything you say anywhere else?” said Danny Cullenward, a climate economist and lawyer. For Cullenward, the report findings are made even worse by the fact that some of the issues were documented in the project's own audits years before the investigation. The auditing firm SCS Global Services, for instance, noted that the free, prior and informed consent meetings with residents began 31 months after the January 2015 project start date, but still determined that the project was “in conformance” with certification requirements. “Every single party in this transaction has a financial interest in there being more credits issued,” Cullenward said. “It's a lose-lose situation here because, either one of the parties has really screwed up at its job or the rules are so weak, you really don't want to have any confidence in their application elsewhere.”The credits are certified by the US nonprofit Verra, the world's leading carbon credit certifier, which is meant to confirm that the projects produce certain environmental and social benefits. Verra began its own investigation of the project after Human Rights Watch shared its preliminary findings in June. Joel Finkelstein, Verra's senior director for media and advocacy, told The World that the allegations are appalling. He believes Verra's auditing system is something the organization can really stand behind.“It's a system designed to get to meaningful, credible, high-integrity climate impact and ethical processes in these projects,” he said. “If that was not the case here, our investigation will find that out and there will be censures for that, too.”Verra would not provide a timeline for when its investigation will be completed, and said its policy is to not provide commentary while an investigation is ongoing. SCS Global Services said in an email that its policy was to not comment on ongoing reviews. Cambodia's Environment Ministry did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Wildlife Alliance said in a statement that the Human Rights Watch report “fundamentally distorts the reality of the project.” A local resident walks down the red road to Chamnar Village in the Areng Valley of the Southern Cardamom National Park. Credit: Anton L. Delgado/Southeast Asia Globe At his family home, a Chong Indigenous man in his late 50s said the rangers and officials carrying out the carbon offset project have cut down crops grown by his community. "They should be protecting only the forest, not [patrolling] the plantations and trees that people have planted for years,” the man said, who also asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from the Wildlife Alliance. He still farms in the area despite the patrols, but is afraid of being spotted. He doesn't earn enough for his family's daily living expenses, and had to take out private loans for $150."I only ask the companies that gave to [Wildlife Alliance] and the REDD+ Project to review the map that overlaps with people's land,” he said. “Do not hurt the people anymore."The authorities don't go after people who have excavators, he said, but they come for people with small farms like him.

Journalist Danielle Radojcin visits British artist David Remfry in his studio, where he reflects on his life as an artist - from 60s London (Francis Bacon was a neighbour), to 20 years spent living in the Chelsea Hotel to a triumph at the Royal Academy - and the famous people who have sat for him along the way. Born in Worthing in the 50s and raised in the northern industrial town of Hull, Remfry studied art and moved to London in the 60s, holding his first solo exhibition there in 1973. A life-threatening illness and a chance encounter with an American gallerist propelled him to fame in Los Angeles in 1980, when an exhibition of his work there sold out immediately. He became known for his large scale watercolour landscapes and portraits, and in particular for his ongoing series of people dancing. His portraits of the fashion designer Jean Muir and the actor John Gielgud are held at the National Portrait Gallery, as well as which he has work in the permanent collections at the V&A and RA. Over the years he has enjoyed a strong connection with the USA – he spent 20 years in New York, where he lived in the storied Chelsea Hotel, often asking his neighbours, who included Quentin Crisp and Ethan Hawke, to sit for him. In 2001 he was awarded an MBE for services to British Art in America.In 2006 he was elected a Member of the Royal Academy of Arts, and last summer he was celebrated for his enthusiastic curation of the Summer Exhibition, in which he was determined to give a voice to under-represented talent. He's also known for painting the interior of the famous tea salon at Fortnum & Mason, and a fashion campaign he drew for the fashion designer Stella McCartney.In spite of his achievements, however, he vows he'll never be part of the establishment and continues to draw - and dance - every day. In 2025 there will be a retrospective of his work in Beverely, Yorkshire. https://paulineboty.org/Gazelli Art Housemonomediafilms.london

I don't think I have ever been as nervous about interviewing someone in my entire career as I was when my former boss and colleague Suzy Menkes agreed to speak with me for this podcast. I worked side by side with Suzy for 16 years at the International Herald Tribune, which is now known as the International New York Times. Over that period she mentored me, encouraged me and guided me. Shaping my career as I moved from her assistant to fashion writer and finally the Online Style Editor of the IHT. During our time together we experienced so many amazing fashion moments, from the John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacob eras at Dior, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton, respectively, to watching first-hand the rise of LVMH, Gucci Group, Kering and the whole transformation of the fashion industry from artform to billion-dollar luxury business. Not to mention witnessing the debuts of iconic designers like Nicolas Ghesquière, Alber Elbaz, Phoebe Philo, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney, Alessandro Michele, Riccardo Tisci, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Pierpaolo Piccioli and the list goes on. Suzy's career as a fashion critic spans close to 60 years, starting with her college days at Cambridge where she was the first female editor of the university newspaper. But even before that, as a teenager, she moved to Paris to study at the fashion school that is now known as ESMOD. So her love of fashion as a visual expression of self and society runs very deep indeed. She started her true calling as a fashion journalist at the age of 24. Working under the watchful eye of Charles Wintour, the father of Anna Wintour, who would be an early mentor for Suzy. But Suzy came into full bloom as one of the most respected fashion critics in the world during her 26-year tenure at the International Herald Tribune. Her words were read in the pages of the daily newspaper by hundreds of thousands of readers around the world and eventually by millions once the internet was born. An audience that only expanded with the advent of social media and her turn as Condé Nast's International Vogue Editor, which saw her words being translated into different languages and her reviews posted on all of the international Vogue websites. She also was the mastermind behind the idea of the modern luxury conference, events that are now commonplace but were brought into being at the IHT, and later continued at Vogue, under her guidance. Suzy is renowned for her honest, fair and insightful writing, and her ability to put fashion into the context of a wider global narrative. Today she runs her own very successful podcast called Creative Conversations with Suzy Menkes, where she continues to interview the leading movers and shakers within the fashion industry. She is still asking the questions every fashion lover wants to know the answers to, but now I am lucky enough to be able to turn the tables on her a bit and ask her a few questions of my own.

A Fresh Story, season 2, episode 19 We chatted with viral gymnastics sensation Nia Dennis about her journey in gymnastics, and how one single second changed the rest of her life - and led her to many new Fresh Starts. Nia is incredibly wise, appreciative of her past, and passionate about learning new things (like the saxophone!), and excited for her future. We discussed her viral moment at The Met Gala, her fresh start in college, and how she pivoted her whole career at a young age. You will learn so much from Nia's wise words about self-talk and learning to love yourself, even when things are tricky in life. Viral gymnastics sensation, Nia Dennis aspires to inspire. Her debut on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet was a cultural moment! Flanked by the 30-person Brooklyn United marching band, while wearing a patriotic Stella McCartney for Adidas jumpsuit, Nia easily went from gymnastics routine to red carpet glam as she flipped and danced her way to the top of the famous steps! A member of the U.S. National Team from 2012-2016, Nia was a 2018 NCAA Gymnastics Champion and leading contender on the UCLA Women's Gymnastics team. “The Culture” was a recurring theme in the fun-filled floor routines of her college career, as she treated the gymnastics floor as her stage and the perfect place to showcase black excellence to the world. In February 2020, Nia tumbled and hip-hop danced to a Beyonce inspired “Homecoming” performance that highlighted majorette-style dancing typical of HBCUs, which resulted in millions of online views, becoming the #1 trending topic online, and landing Nia a guest spot on The Ellen Degeneres Show. In February 2021, another one of Nia's socially-justice filled routine also went viral, with a message of power and hope towards the push for equality that caught the attention of Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris and Janet Jackson, among others. Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Nia grew up with Midwest values and a supportive family who encouraged her illustrious Junior Olympic and Elite gymnastics career. She sacrificed a traditional classroom experience and trained more than 30 hours per week to reach Elite status and compete internationally with the ultimate goal being the 2016 Olympics. But, with a torn Achilles months before the games, Nia learned invaluable lessons about overcoming obstacles, perseverance and creating new dreams. You can follow Nia on Instagram, TikTok, and her website.
