Hannah Ferguson is the model you should be following



When the clay pigeon shooting competition in San Angelo, Texas folded ten years ago, it was the fault of local 25-year-old Sports Illustrated model and Instagram sweetheart Hannah Ferguson. Ferguson and her family would all compete annually and, after winning in every category three years running, the competition began to feel rather pointless. This was perhaps inevitable - Ferguson's father was a sniper, her mother a Marine Corps drill instructor and the family hobby was shooting. "Growing up, my four siblings and I would wake up early and go to the range with my dad," says the model, who was home-schooled. "It was a bonding exercise."

Ferguson, who once worked for Trump Models ("No comment"), was also taught to fish by her dad. Scroll through her Instagram account and, between pictures of catwalks (Moschino), magazine covers (Elle, Sports Illustrated) and body-painted swimsuits (the fishnet number took 18 hours, no less), there she is wielding a 57-pound wahoo (a type of fish), along with two huge lobsters and a spectacular mahi (also a fish). "My arm was sore for two days after the wahoo," says Ferguson, who can spear mackerel from ten metres. "And it's a bigger catch than my boyfriend's ever had." The hashtag? #girlswhofish. Other hobbies include horse-riding, figure-skating and... barbering. "I always liked the idea of becoming a barber," says Ferguson. With a knack for shooting, spearing and reeling in, a cut and shave should be no trouble. Barber competitions beware.

Engineering Happiness at Zappos



Tyler Williams, 33, is the head of experiential marketing for Zappos, an online retailer based in Las Vegas.

Q. In the language of Zappos, you’re called a fun-gineer. Why?

A. Our chief of staff dug up the title for me. My job is to bring joy and smiles to Zappos’s 1,500 employees. (Without the hyphen, by the way, I’d be a technician of fungi.) For example, I built an instant dance party in the company lobby. It works like this: When you push a button with a sign under it that says, “Don’t ever push this button,” lights go on and music blares. My position comes within our brand aura department, which is similar to other companies’ brand marketing departments.

Zappos sells shoes and clothing online. How did you get a job there?

In truth, I did not have work experience related to anything at Zappos. I’d been a professional drummer since high school, had built stages and knew audiovisual technology. I had heard it’s easier to get accepted to Harvard than to get a job at Zappos. I took the creative route and wrote, starred in and produced a video about the company’s 10 core values. Once hired, my first job was at the customer call center.

That doesn’t sound like a good fit for a creative type like you. Was it?
Not exactly. But the job I applied for was filled internally. That made me admire the company for its integrity to promote from within. Everyone — even our C.E.O., Tony Hsieh — has worked the customer services lines. After six months, I became a new-employee trainer.

How did that eventually evolve into your current position?

Because I was handy with constructing things, I became known for developing and executing fun ideas. The turning point was when Tony was preparing to give a speech for Amazon in his apartment. He needed to show the video in three rooms simultaneously. I knew how to do that. That’s when a light went on in Jamie Naughton’s head. She’s our chief of staff, and suggested I write my own job description. Jamie started calling me a fun-gineer, and it stuck.

Do you miss playing drums?

I managed to create a musical opportunity for myself and the many other musicians working at Zappos. We set up a music stage in the trailer park where a lot of employees, including Tony, live. Once a month, musicians show up to jam. We call it Open Air. I don’t miss the life of a musician on the road at all, so this is a wonderful compromise.

Southend-on-Sea: the arty way is Essex ( Summer Goals)



At the Village Green arts and music festival in Southend-on-Sea earlier this month, festivalgoers were pictured waving placards reading “Southend is not a shit hole”. I thought this was a bit odd, until I learned it was in response to a recent outburst by presenter Paul O’Grady – during filming for an episode of Blind Date, no less – in which he branded the Essex seaside town a shit hole, and “full of single mothers”. Harsh, Paul.

Like generations of Londoners before me, I had my first taste of the seaside at Southend. No matter that the beach was more mud than golden sand, or that the water – where the Thames meets the North Sea – was a murky brown. I have fond memories of making “sand” castles in the silty sludge, riding the roller coasters at Adventure Island until I felt sick, and then walking to the end of the (world’s longest) pier for an ice-cream and to watch the container ships sliding in and out of the estuary.

But nostalgia is not the reason I keep going back. Like many British seaside towns, Southend has had its period in the doldrums but there’s been a definite sea change in recent years, with young Londoners moving into the area, and a revival of the local arts scene.

Much of the impetus for this revival has come from arts organisations such as Metal, which hosts artist residencies and workshops at its base in the town’s Chalkwell Park. It is also behind the Village Green festival and the biennial Estuary Festival – a celebration of the art, music, sub-cultures and landscape of the Thames estuary – which had its first outing last year and returns in September 2018.

Another key player is the Focal Point Gallery in the town centre, which runs an innovative programme of exhibitions and events year round. Next week it will open Twenty One, a cultural venue, cafe, bar, gallery and events space right opposite Southend Pier. This will be followed in 2018 by the conversion of an old Victorian hotel into studios for up to 30 artists and a public gallery and workshop space offering art classes to locals and visitors.

“What we’ve seen over the past 10 years is this huge burgeoning of the artistic scene in Southend,” says Joe Hill of the Focal Point Gallery. “You’ve got a lot of creative people coming out of London and looking for new, affordable spots. Southend has such an opportunity to be a thriving place for the creative industries, but you need that underlying structure to support it. This is only the starting point.”

During the recent heatwave, I took my daughter to cool off in the fountains on the promenade and afterwards we walked along the seafront into Old Leigh, where we found ourselves in the thick of the annual Leigh Folk Festival . The narrow cobbled streets of this former fishing village were heaving with people enjoying the live music.

We sat on the sea wall outside Osborne’s seafood cafe eating vinegar-drenched cockles from a polystyrene tub, listening to the music and watching a rabble of children launching themselves gleefully into the water below.

There’s nothing genteel about Southend. Although the elegant Georgian villas on the clifftop tell of a slightly grander past, its character has been shaped in more recent decades by waves of working-class Londoners coming here to let off steam. So yes, there are prettier seaside resorts, sandier beaches, bluer seas, but if you can’t have a good time here, there’s something wrong with you.

New York City Ballet Unveils Designers for Its Fall Fashion Gala




New York City Ballet on Tuesday announced the fashion designers who would collaborate with four choreographers for this year’s fall fashion gala, an annual event overseen by Sarah Jessica Parker.

The company also said that during the fall season Rebecca Krohn, a principal dancer since 2012, would retire. She won’t be going far, though: After her farewell performance, on Oct. 7, she will remain with City Ballet as a ballet mistress.

The fall gala, on Sept. 28, is to feature four premieres, choreographed by Lauren Lovette, the principal dancer who created her first work for the company for the gala last year; Justin Peck, City Ballet’s resident choreographer and a soloist; Troy Schumacher, also a soloist; and Gianna Reisen, a 2017 graduate of City Ballet’s School of American Ballet and at age 18 the youngest person to choreograph for the company.

Ms. Lovette will work with the designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim, who are veterans of Oscar de la Renta and creators of the brand Monse. Collaborating with Mr. Peck will be Tsumori Chisato, the Japanese designer known for her prints that have drawn inspiration from manga, among other sources. Virgil Abloh, the founder of Off-White, will design for Ms. Reisen’s ballet, and Mr. Schumacher has been paired with Jonathan Saunders, of Diane von Furstenberg.Continue reading the main story


The gala will also include a performance of Peter Martins’s “The Chairman Dances,” a 1998 work set to John Adams’s piece of the same name — an orchestral outtake from his opera “Nixon in China.”

Ms. Krohn’s final performance will be in George Balanchine’s “Stravinsky Violin Concerto.” A longtime member of the City Ballet family, Ms. Krohn joined the School of American Ballet in 1995, and became an apprentice with the company in 1998. She joined the corps one year later, and was promoted to the rank of soloist in 2006, followed by principal dancer in 2012.

This year, she originated roles in Mr. Peck’s “The Decalogue” and Pontus Lidberg’s “The Shimmering Asphalt.” She is also a stalwart in repertory works, and appeared in the premiere of Jerome Robbins’s “N.Y. Export: Opus Jazz” in 2005.

How to Stay Safe in the Great Outdoors





If you encounter a bear at a distance while hiking:
Make as much noise as possible by yelling very loudly.
Slowly back away.
Run away as fast as you can.
Play dead.

If a bear charges toward you:
Directly confront the bear in a physical manner.
Stand your ground and use bear spray when the animal is 30 to 60 feet away.
Slowly back away.
Run away as fast as you can.
Play dead.

The following will help keep bears away from your campsite:
Properly storing all food and garbage.
Cooking food with a strong odor.
Nothing will keep a hungry bear away.
Mountain lions are generally found in 14 Western states, and attacks are extremely rare. National Park Service, via Associated Press

If you encounter a mountain lion:
Run away as fast as you can.
Wave your arms and make loud noises.
Stay still and silent.


The best way to remove a tick from your skin is to:
Use tweezers to squeeze the tick’s body, then pull straight up and away from the skin.
Use tweezers to grab the tick as close as you can to your skin, then pull straight up and away from the skin.
Apply Vaseline and then slide tweezers underneath the tick, grab and pull from skin.
Use a match to burn the tick, and then use tweezers to grab and pull from skin.

After removing the tick, you should go to the doctor:
Only if you develop a target or bull’s-eye shaped rash.
If you develop a red rash of any shape.
If you develop a fever or flulike symptoms.


If you encounter a snake:
Approach it while making loud noises to scare it away.
Use a long stick to push it away.
Stay calm and keep your distance.
Toss liquid at the snake.

If you are bitten by a snake:
Have somebody suck out the venom with their mouth, making sure they spit out the venom and do not swallow it.
Apply ice directly over the wound.
Keep your distance from the snake and obtain medical care as soon as possible.


There is more of a chance of dying from a shark attack than:

Being struck by lightning.
Being struck by an asteroid.
Catching a foul ball at a baseball game.
Living to be 100 years old.
None of the above.

If a shark attacks you:

Try swimming away as fast as possible.
Stay completely still.
Fight back by grabbing its eyes and gills.
