What Happened to Kendall Jenner's Hair?!
A funny thing happened on the way to the Met Gala… in Kendall Jenner's case, a hair catastrophe. Jenner has had quite an absurd few months in terms of her fashionable endeavors, from her couture modeling debut at Marc Jacobs to a once-in-a-lifetime walk at the Chanel supermarket. In addition, her questionable choices at Coachella landed her firmly on the fashion infamy list. The young member of the Kardashian clan posted a gorgeous Instagram selfie earlier this evening, depicting the model wearing a streamlined strapless gown and a lightly waved coif. It appeared the the world was in for a shockingly chic Kendall Jenner fashion moment. But somewhere between her hotel suite and the Met Gala red carpet, her hair went from fabulous to frightening. Though the hairstyle looked voluminous in Jenner's selfie, by her Met Ball entrance, it looked windblown and messy in the worst possible way. What possibly could have created such a disastrous change? Here are our theories.
1. Dad Bruce decided that Kendall's 'do wasn't quite right and attacked her hair with a brush as she ran out the door.
2. Kendall got into a tussle with Kim over her gown, as everyone knows Mrs. Kanye West must be the fairest of them all.
3. Anna Wintour discovered that Kendall had somehow procured an invitation to the event and ordered security to prevent her from entering.
4. As the little Kardashian clan member was exiting the limo, paparazzi clambering for a photo somehow tripped the bewildered reality star.
5. A wayward bird noticed Kendall's gravity-defying 'do and mistook it for a nest.
7. A fervent fashionista who was offended by Kendall's Coachella style flub attempted to ruffle Jenner's feathers…so to speak.
We may never know what happened to Kendall or why her hair looks so mussed, but we certainly hope she has a serious chat with her hairstylist after the Ball.
Over one third of people in Birmingham believe there would be a reduced burden on the NHS if cannabis was legalised, according to a new survey.
The survey of over 3,000 Brits conducted by CBDoil.co.uk asked respondents their location to help identify opinion demographics.
Almost 75 percent of Birmingham residents were unaware of the legalisation of medical cannabis in the UK that came into force last November.
66 percent of residents in Banbury, Oxfordshire were also unaware of this new law.
14 percent of Birmingham respondents and 10 percent of Banbury respondents believed that cannabis legalisation would result in an increase in tax revenue.
Other perceived positive outcomes included fewer alcohol-related problems and an increased in the quality and safety of cannabis.
An American study published last year found a direct link between medical marijuana legalisation and reduced alcohol consumption.
Alcohol sales dropped by almost 15 percent in States that had medical marijuana laws.Sure, the Plug Mug, Link Mug and Dunk Mug come with a unique range of features. However, they’re as far from “perfection” as it gets. The Perfect Coffee Mug, however, carries the highest degree of quality.
What defines perfection? In the case of this invention from the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, the cup is able to keep the coffee at an ideal temperature (which, according to the same guys, is 58 degrees Celsius) for up to 30 minutes, all without having to put a lid on the mouth.
Created by a team of physicists, the mug is built out of a swirly-looking aluminum frame that is coated with ceramic along the thick edges. The gaps between the frames are filled with a phase changing material (the kind typically used in winter clothing) that provides the heating mechanism (the material strives to keep itself in the same temperature once it absorbs heat from the coffee). As such, your morning beverage remains scalding hot without having to plug anything in.
Since this is the first version of the Perfect Coffee Mug, it looks ugly as sin. The cup’s functionality is brilliant, though, and, if it isn’t too expensive, will likely find a good amount of takers. Even more impressive, it can work on the reverse, allowing the mug to keep liquids in cold temperature using a different type of phase changing material.
The Fraunhofer guys are still looking for partners willing to manufacture the mug, so don’t expect it anytime in the immediate future.
Something like this to keep brewing grains at 159F for 90 minutes would be pretty cool. Also, something to keep the finished beer at the right temp (a cold one for lagers, a little warmer for British ales, a little warmer yet for Belgians…). The niche marketing potential goes on and on.I read nine graphic novels, the six volumes of Otomo’s Akira, the eighth volume of Zekkyo’s adaptation of Toradora, the first omnibus volume of Go Nagai’s Devilman, and the final volume of Kio’s Genshiken: Second Season. It’s probably no surprise that Akira is the best, though Devilman was pretty good and Toradora is still going strong. I was happy that Genshiken finally brought its disappointing sequel to its poor end, and would only recommend Second Season as a whole to those totally invested in the original (who undoubtedly are reading or already finished, anyway).
In non-fiction, I read thirteen books, including Azuma’s Otaku: Japan’s Database Animals, Sallust’s Jugurthine War and Catiline’s Conspiracy (in one volume, trans. Batstone), the Book of Rites (trans. Legge), The Gongyang Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals (trans. Miller), Herbert’s A Confucian Notebook, Morville’s Ambient Findability, Punchard’s Playtime Dishes, Bellarmine’s The Art of Dying Well, Baugh’s Serial Experiments Lain: Ultimate Fan Guide, Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams (ed. Bolton), Brown’s Tokyo Cyberpunk, Cinema Anime (ed. Brown), and LaMarre’s The Anime Machine. These were all new to me, but Sallust is the winner of this category.
I read two textbooks, Reference and Information Services and Information Services Today. Both are tremendously boring, though the first isn’t too bad by textbook standards.
Finally, thanks to my nephew I read one children’s book, Brown’s Goodnight Moon. It’s not bad, honestly.
Excluding books I’ve read previously (Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Jekyll
