From women's underwear to men's street wear, Japan knows its market
Cinderellas deserve Gomi Hayakawa’s Feast
Frustrated by the lack of attractive bras suitable for the slighter Japanese frame, Tama Art University student Gomi Hayakawa started a crowdsourced fundraiser last year to see if she wasn’t alone in wanting something different from the sporty or heavily padded options she was expected to settle for.
The response was extraordinary, with Hayakawa reaching well over her funding target, which allowed the young designer to fund a fashion show as well as a pajama line in addition to the original lingerie. The resulting brand, Feast, is designed to flatter what Hayakawa affectionately terms “Cinderella busts” with sizes spanning from AAA to A, and it has a very keen online following.
In a curious twist of fate, Hayakawa is now being besieged with requests to produce larger sizes of her exceptionally cute designs, and her swimwear line, which launched earlier this month is her first lineup to include sizes up to a C cup.
Those interested in this one-woman bra revolution can head to the Popikyawa Festival in Omotesando, July 18 and 19, where Feast will be offering a measuring service in addition to the brand’s full line-up.

The luxury sneaker is running its course
The trend for excruciatingly extravagant street-wear basics is showing no sign of letting up. In fact, the major fashion houses seem to be engaged in a unspoken competition to see who can render the most mundane fashion staple with the most ludicrous excess.
The latest entry to the arena is from Parisian favorite Dior, which, not content with launching its own line of sneakers for those who wanting to add a bit of glamour to a strenuous work out, have set about customizing said sneakers with couture-level beading and sequin work.
The end result is something that is undeniably at the peak of both performance and ostentatiousness — and something that you will need between ¥145,000 and ¥210,000 to get hold of. Not only that, but you had better be faster than you plan to run in them, as the designs reportedly rarely stay in stock once they hit the store.
This month marks a pre-fall addition of a high-cut variant to the lineup, so if you want to get ahead of the game, and can afford to do so, you know what to do: get running.
Dior Fusion Sneakers are now available at Dior stockists nationwide.
Paris, Tokyo: Japan’s menswear goes overseas
Tokyo’s menswear has often been tipped as the country’s best bet to make inroads in Europe. Last month’s Paris and Milan fashion weeks, saw that promise fulfilled by Hiromichi Ochiai’s Facetasm show at Georgio Armani’s behest in Milan, and Yosuke Aizawa’s collaboration with Adidas on a full collection in Paris.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Tokyo Fashion Award program also took Yoshikazu Yamagata’s un-and-coming Written By and WrittenAfterwards labels to a Le Marais showroom, where the designer was joined by old-hands Factotum, John Lawrence Sullivan and others. The Leather Japan project, too, took a number of brands to Paris, with edgy biker label Blackmeans going down particularly well with foreign buyers.
It was not only buyers, however, who were courting Japan’s talent, designers were also channeling Japanese style, with Thom Browne inspired by the kimono for his menswear collection and Loewe’s shameless love letter to Japanese pop culture, which used photos taken in Akihabara on its invitations and quotes from the “Gundam” anime series on this season’s prints.

Auto Insurance Quotes for Motorcycles - Find The Best Prices In Five Minutes!
LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — Lowcostcarinsuranceprice.com has released a new blog post explaining how to compare auto insurance quotes for motorcycles.
Motorcycle owners are required to carry minimum liability coverage. There are different ways in which agencies rate motorcycles, but it is quite common for motorists to pay more for premiums if they drive a motorcycle. Many providers consider these vehicles unsafe and consequently, will charge applicants more.
However, cutting auto insurance prices is now possible and it can be done in a simple way. By comparing car insurance quotes, drivers can get the best rates for their two-wheeled vehicles. The best way to compare plans is to look at offers from different providers. A new insurance brokerage service provided by http://lowcostcarinsuranceprice.com gathers offers from numerous agencies and displays the plans on a single web page.
What is important when comparing auto insurance quotes?
After getting the list of quotes, motorcycle owners should mainly look at two things: the type of coverage and its costs. Motorcycle owners can choose between three types of car insurance plans: liability, collision or comprehensive. The first one is mandatory in all states, but provides limited benefits. The other two types of coverage, although more expensive will do a better job at insuring a vehicle.
Provide accurate details for accurate quotes
The website uses a rating system similar to the ones used by agencies. The quotes will show prices properly adjusted for each driver. In order to receive the best results, drivers will have to complete the quote form as accurately as possible. The quote form is simple and it only takes a few minute to finish completing it.
“Comparing car insurance quotes will help motorcycle owners find low cost coverage online. A quote can show how much a plan would cost and by comparing different quotes, drivers will find competitive prices.” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.
Lowcostcarinsuranceprice.com is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Heroin use shoots up — especially among young white men
Afghan farmers harvest raw opium at a poppy field in Kandahar’s Zhari district. This year, many Afghan poppy farmers are expecting a windfall as they get ready to harvest opium from a new variety of poppy seeds said to boost yield of the resin that produces heroin.
The country’s unhealthy appetite for painkiller drugs has led to tighter rules on pill-happy doctors and pharmaceutical firms. But that sensible step is producing an unforeseen problem: the rising use of heroin, used as a cheaper substitute for once-plentiful prescription drugs.
The surge in heroin is creating more addicts than ever, spreading from inner cities to rural spots, and springs from Afghanistan, a Made-in-the-U.S.A. trouble spot for opium production. An ultra-lethal and quickly addictive drug is staging a comeback that can be curbed.
The trend is outlined in a federal report documenting the drug’s dangerous popularity. More people in more places are taking heroin and dying from it, leading public officials to scramble for solutions.
The answers are surprising. A needle-giveaway program was approved in red-state Indiana as a way to curb HIV and hepatitis C infections linked to syringe-sharing among addicts. Other states that once objected to needle giveaways as encouraging drug use are now doing the same. Along with clean needles, the programs offer addicts an entry point into the health care system for methadone, a heroin substitute, and other drug treatments.
Also, naloxone, a fast-acting antidote to drug overdoses, is now carried by police and emergency responders in many communities, including San Francisco. The drug provides a life-saving jolt to block the toxic effects of too much heroin. It’s so effective that health authorities are pressing it into ever wider use. In Baltimore, jail inmates and nightclub strippers are trained to administer the drug in an emergency.
San Francisco isn’t immune to heroin’s appeal. The number of addicts seeking treatment at city health facilities increased 15 percent last year. The use of naloxone to quell overdoses jumped four-fold over the last three years, an indicator of both the drug’s effectiveness and heroin’s widening use, according to Dr. Phillip Coffin, director of drug research for the city health department.
But needle swaps and anti-overdose drugs are only a partial response to a much bigger problem. Heroin remains cheaper than prescription painkillers such as OxyContin, Vicodin and Percocet, turning the drug into a market mainstay.
Once reserved for major injuries or diseases, these brand-name drugs slipped into wider use to soothe a painful dentist visit or an ankle sprain. The free-and-easy dispensing of the pills led to serious abuse and addiction. But when health authorities moved to restrict access, the black market price soared, making heroin a cheaper alternative.
Adding to the problem is a boom in Afghanistan opium cultivation despite a U.S. campaign to destroy the flowery crop. Afghan farmers grow 90 percent of the world’s opium, later refined into heroin. A United Nations drug agency last month warned that record opium poppy production could result in a spike in heroin-related deaths as prices drop and availability widens. The country’s chaotic and corrupt politics mean that there’s zero chance the farm-to-arm flow of heroin will stop soon.
Heroin’s steady march doesn’t come with simple answers. Public awareness of both the drug’s dangers and opportunities for treatment is important. The report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention underscores heroin’s widening use. The rising numbers should warn the public and encourage lawmakers to face a growing danger.
A dangerous drug trend
500,000 people used heroin in 2013, a jump of 150 percent since 2007.
Heroin overdose deaths claimed 8,257 lives in 2013, four times the number in 2002.
Heroin use grew by 60 percent among those with household income of at least $50,000.
75 percent of new addicts were first hooked on prescription opiates such as OxyContin and Vicodin.
A majority of new addicts are young white males.

Big Boys Adventure TV star to host girls hunting camp

 |
OTSEGO COUNTY — Big Boys Adventure TV star Jada Johnson is hoping to share her passion for hunting with girls and women again this summer.
Johnson said since she started hunting at a young age, the industry has been a man’s world, but she wants to change that and her plans start with an all-girls bootcamp.
With much success at last year’s camp, Johnson is hosting two more camps this year at the end of July.
Girls 14 years and older will learn archery, fly fishing and hunting with firearms.
For $250, girls that are interested will stay right on the Johnson’s ranch, have meals provided, and get to use their equipment.
“The purpose of this camp is to get girls outdoors,” said Jada Johnson, Big Boys Adventures TV star and camp host. “The hunting industry has been such a man’s world and women haven’t really been involved, but since the last two or three years, the women’s part of the hunting industry has really skyrocketed, so I’m trying to do my part in getting more women and girls into the outdoors.”
Girls will also get to sit in tree stands or blinds and track deer as well as try to catch some fish at the lake at the Johnson ranch.
The Otsego Wildlife Legacy Society (Otsego OWLS) is providing scholarships for four girls in Otsego County who are interested in this camp.
The dates of the camp are July 28-29th and July 30-31st.
If you are interested in attending, you can register online here, or for more information on how to get a scholarship to attend the camp, you can email Danielle Vuke at danielle@bigboystv.com.

Low-riding zec00 electric motorcycle enters production
Three years after we first spied the prototype, the zec00 electric motorcycle is finally ready for the road. Production of the radically-designed, handmade motorcycle is limited to a run of only 49 vehicles.
Compared to the prototypes, first seen back in 2012, the production zec00 has gained the obligatory front and rear lights as well as a rear number plate. Power still comes from an 11.4 kWh lithium ion battery, powering a 50 kW, 144 Nm Zero Motorcycles-sourced electric motor.
This package delivers a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph) and a maximum range of 160 km (99 mi), while a full recharge takes 8 hours.
The polished aluminum alloy swing arms, single-sided hub-center steering and the ability to customize the paintwork add to the low-riding, long-nosed bike’s outlandish appearance.
Having seen it in the flesh recently in Tokyo, we can attest to the fact that this is an amazing looking machine.
The zec00 is available from this month for JPY 8,880,000 or US$72,530. Check it out in the video below.

More men with prostate cancer are opting for surveillance
Men with early-stage prostate cancer increasingly are opting for regular monitoring and holding off on treatment unless the disease progresses, a new study suggests.
Use of so-called active surveillance, or watchful waiting, among men with localized prostate cancer was low from 1990 through 2009 but rose sharply between 2010 and 2013, according to data published in JAMA.
“This is progress in the right direction,” lead author Dr. Matthew Cooperberg of the University of California, San Francisco, said.
One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society.
Many men whose tumors are confined to the prostate do not die of the cancer, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They also likely won’t have symptoms.
There are several possible treatments for prostate cancer, including surgery and radiation. Some men — especially those who are older — may opt for active surveillance.
Men using active surveillance may undergo tests or biopsies to make sure the cancer isn’t growing, the ACS says.
The approach helps avoid more aggressive treatments, which can carry the risk for complications such as incontinence and impotence.
For the new study, Cooperberg and his co-author Dr. Peter Carroll used data from 10,472 men with localized prostate cancer treated at 45 U.S. urology practices between 1990 and 2013.
Overall, the use of surveillance among men with low-risk cancer ranged from 7 to 14 percent from 1990 through 2009, but then increased to 40 percent between 2010 and 2013.
The ideal rate of active surveillance for low-grade disease isn’t clear, Cooperberg told Reuters Health, but “it’s probably higher than 40 percent.”
Among men age 75 or older, 76 percent opted for surveillance from 2010 through 2013, researchers found.
The researchers also found that use of a therapy called androgen deprivation for intermediate- and high-risk cancers fell by the end of the study.
Cooperberg said that’s also a trend in the right direction, because androgen deprivation, which limits the effect of hormones on the cancer, should not be used alone.
“It has never been endorsed as single therapy for localized disease,” he said. “We’re seeing a drop off of its (solo) use.”
With more men choosing surveillance for their prostate cancer, the researchers hope it will reopen the discussion on screening to measure blood levels of prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, which often are high in men with prostate cancer.
One argument against PSA screening is that men may go on to have aggressive treatment for cancer that might never have caused them problems. The researchers hope the decline in use of aggressive treatments — as inferred from the increase in surveillance — will lead to a re-evaluation of the risks of PSA testing.
“Our hope is that these findings and other papers with similar findings will really start to reopen the question on early detection and screening,” Cooperberg said.
Currently, the government-backed U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends against screening for PSA levels.
The American Urological Association recommends against PSA screening in men younger than 40. It does not recommend routine screening between ages 40 and 54, or after age 70 for men with less than a 10 to 15 year life expectancy. It recommends that men ages 55 to 69 decide about PSA testing after discussions with their doctors.

Police Taser shooting contributed to man's death, jury finds
Jordon Begley was shot with a Taser in Gorton, Greater Manchester.
Photograph: Rex Features
A factory worker died partly as a result of being shot with a Taser and restrained by police officers, an inquest jury has concluded.
Jordon Begley, 23, was shot with the 50,000-volt stun gun and hit with “distraction strikes” while being restrained and handcuffed by three armed officers from Greater Manchester police (GMP). He died in hospital around two hours later, at 10pm on 10 July 2013.
While the initial Taser shock did not cause Begley’s heart to stop, the jury concluded that the use of the Taser and the restraint “more than materially contributed” to a package of stressful factors leading to his fatal cardiac arrest, the inquest at Manchester civil courts of justice heard on Monday.
It is expected that the jury’s conclusions will have a wide-ranging impact on the future use of Tasers by police in Britain.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has investigated 11 cases in which a person died after being hit by a Taser. Begley’s case is believed to be the first of those in which an inquest has found the weapon contributed to the death.
The inquest jury found that police officers involved in the Begley incident were “more concerned about their own welfare” than the fate of their stricken suspect.
Begley was struck by a nine-second, high-voltage shot because the officer deploying the stun gun went into “a high state of alert”. The behavior of PC Terrence Donnelly inside the terraced house in Gorton, Manchester, was inappropriate in the circumstances, the jury found.
Begley’s family have said they are intending to sue the GMP.
As the findings were announced Begley’s mother, Dorothy, 47, punched the air. At one point she mouthed the words “thank you” to the jury.
Outside the court her lawyer, Mark McGhee, said the outcome would have consequences that went “far beyond the death of this one individual”.
“It’s a massive decision and we have to consider very carefully where we go,” he said.
Dorothy Begley wiped away tears, saying: “It’s fantastic. For two years I’ve been fighting everybody, and finally there is justice for Jordon.”
She called for the immediate introduction of body cameras for police officers. The mother-of-two also questioned why none of the officers involved had been disciplined.
“These officers should not be patrolling the streets,” she said.
Ian Hanson, the chair of the GMP Federation, said: “Whilst the jury’s findings are noted and respected, we are not bound to agree with them. This was a dynamic incident that was measured in seconds rather than minutes. The jury appears to have criticised the duration rather than fact of the use of a Taser.
“The Taser officer was approached by a man he reasonably – based on Dorothy Begley’s own 999 call – suspected to be armed with a knife and violent.
“Unlike a jury, officers do not have five weeks to take decisions, and many of the criticisms do not appear to us to reflect the reality and duration of this incident.”
At the end of the five-week inquest at the Manchester civil courts of justice, the jury ruled that Begley’s chronic alcoholism and drug abuse, combined with a dispute with neighbours and a subsequent confrontation with police, formed part of a “package of stresses” that caused him to have a fatal heart attack. He had also recently had hospital tests for intermittent chest pain and blackouts.
Significantly, the jury decided that the discharge of the Taser, and the subsequent restraint, had “more than minimally” contributed to his death.
Begley was of slight build and offering minimal resistance to the police. There was no need for one officer to deliver two punches as “distraction blows” while colleagues tried to handcuff him, the jury said.
Armed officers who rushed into Begley’s dining room left him lying face down with his hands cuffed behind his back for too long. The jury concluded: “They were more concerned with their own welfare than Jordon’s.”
Dorothy Begley initially summoned police to her home by dialing 999 on the evening of 10 July 2013. Her son, whom she acknowledged had a violent nature, had become upset in the aftermath of a row with neighbours. He was threatening to take a knife outside and she said she feared there would be “a murder”.
She did not dare let him know she was making an emergency call to police, and instead claimed to be calling a friend, the jury heard.
Up to 11 officers rushed to the scene in what police categorise as a grade one response. Initially, Begley was outside the house, but he agreed to go inside with them. The situation developed into a standoff that ended with Donnelly drawing his X26 weapon and opening fire.
Dorothy Begley, who had been sent inside to retrieve her dog, recalled the light from the stun gun “pointing at Jordon’s heart”.
A moment later she said she heard the officer say: “This is your third and final warning. Step back”.
“I could see the fear in Jordon’s face,” she told the court. “The look [he gave me] was like, ‘Mum, help me’, and that killed me.”
Begley was struck by the Taser volts then immediately restrained by officers when he tried to resist. PC Christopher Mills delivered two distraction blows as he and his colleagues tried to handcuff Begley.
As the young man was turned over on to his back, it became clear he was in distress. Officers removed the handcuffs and tried to revive him using a trauma kit, CPR and a defibrillator. He died in Manchester Royal Infirmary two hours later.
A month before Begley died, he had complained to staff at the MRI of blackouts and intermittent chest pain. An ECG had detected no abnormality, but doctors asked him to return for a second, more detailed test. He failed to keep the appointment.
The jury was told that Donnelly had been alerted to the possibility of Begley having a knife as he arrived at the scene. He said that during the standoff, he noticed Begley’s hands were in his pockets. This made him suspicious about the possible whereabouts of a weapon and he told Begley to “show his hands and stop moving”.
According to Donnelly, Begley kept approaching. He drew his Taser and told him to stand still. He then deployed the weapon, shouting “Taser, Taser, Taser!”
Dorothy Begley said in evidence that she had no reason to think the Taser was going to be deployed because her son “was doing exactly what they wanted him to do”.
Lawyers for Donnelly and four of his colleagues had sought a permanent anonymity order to prevent them being identified at the inquest. This was rejected by the Manchester coroner, Nigel Meadows, after an application by media outlets including the Guardian, the Press Association, Associated Newspapers and ITV.
The outcome is likely to reopen criticism of the increasing use of Tasers as a “less lethal” option than guns for police. Since their introduction in 2003, Home Office figures show their use has increased by more than 200%, with one in 10 officers now armed with a Taser and more than 10,000 Taser incidents in England and Wales in 2013.
An IPCC investigation of the Begley incident effectively cleared all the officers involved. The IPCC has yet to publish the report of its inquiry.
Dorothy Begley said of the IPCC: “They are incompetent and badly let us down.”

Vintage cars bring back happy memories at Potsdam car show

POTSDAM — Susan Rupert of Ogdensburg was on a mission as she walked around Sunday’s annual classic car and motorcycle show at the Potsdam AmVets Post 283, 667 Route 11.
Joined by her 93-year-old mother, Winnie England, she was hoping to see a vintage car with a rumble seat.
“The first car my parents owned had a rumble seat, so I wanted to show her a car like that,” Mrs. Rupert said.
The pair were excited to spot two street rods from the 1930s that featured rumble seats. A rumble seat is an upholstered exterior seat that folds into the rear deck of a two seat, pre-World War II automobile.
Seeing the antique cars brought back many happy memories of the time Mrs. Rupert spent with her husband, Alfred. The two started dating when she was 17 and eventually married.
“We went all over in a car like that,” Mrs. Rupert said as she stood beside a 1933 Chevy owned by Glenn C. Rarick, LaFargeville. “We even went up to Montreal and back. We never had any trouble so it must have been a good car.”
She recalled giving neighborhood children rides around Ogdensburg in the rumble seat.
Under a sun-soaked sky, more than 40 classic cars and several motorcycles were on display during the car show, now in its fifth year. The outdoor event also featured vendor booths, music and prizes for participants. Hot dogs, french fries and soda were for sale.
“I’m a big car nut,” said Jeffrey S. Sochia, an AmVets member who coordinates the show. “A lot of people here restored their own cars and they like to show off the work they did.”
Besides St. Lawrence County, he said participants came from Watertown, Plattsburgh, Syracuse, Malone, Glens Falls and other upstate communities.
Ranging in style and color, the exhibit included street rods from the 1930s, classics from the 1950s, “muscle cars” from the 1960s and others. Convertibles as well as newer cars and motorcycles were also on display.
Participants paid $10 each to display their car or motorcycle, with the funds going to the AmVets Post.
Cal E. Williamson, from the Steel Riders Motorcycle Club, Colton, said participating in shows helps educate people about the positive aspect of motorcycle clubs.
“Biker clubs and groups raise a lot of money for charity,” Mr. Williamson said. “Not all bikers are bad. We help families in need.”
The day’s sunny skies and warm temperatures drew several visitors to the show, with many stopping to peer inside the cars and visit with car owners. A few cars were marked “for sale.”
“There are a lot of nice vehicles here,” said Floyd N. Field, AmVets post commander. “People put a lot of work into these cars and they like to bring them out.”
