e Hemispheres staffers consider ourselves a fashionable bunch, and that’s never been more true than in this issue. We start with an interview with iconic supermodel Heidi Klum (page 58), whose success as a businesswoman and reality-show star proves that there’s more to her than just “The Body.” Then we hit the red carpet at the African Film Festival in New York, where stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton help Nollywood transcend the Nigerian film market (page 62).

Next, we f lit off to the gorgeous island of Maui, where esteemed photographer Tony Duran (pictured) shoots our fashion feature (page 68). Finally, we go right to the source of the fashion industry with “Three Perfect Days: Milan” (page 78), as the Italian city hosts its fall Fashion Week this month. —THE EDITORS

CEO LETTER

United’s Industry-Leading Aircraft Fleet Welcome aboard, and thanks for choosing United. Your time on board our aircraft is an important part of your travel experience, and we’ve been making some exciting investments in our aircraft fleet to provide you with a flyer-friendly experience and industry-leading product.

As the North American launch customer for the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, we’re proud that we are also the first airline in North America to operate the 787-9, beginning this fall. The 787-9 is 20 feet longer than the 787-8 and builds on the 787-8’s proven fuel efficiency, performance and customer comfort. It also gives us even more flexibility and range to take you to the places you want to go. The 787 is revolutionizing the flying experience for our customers and crews, and I’m looking forward to expanding our Dreamliner fleet as we take delivery of the more than 50 additional 787s we have on order.

We have a terrific set of new aircraft on order and are taking delivery of an average of five brand new aircraft per month in 2014. We are using new aircraft to replace older aircraft that are less efficient and less reliable, improving the inflight experience for you. We continue to replace most of our domestic 757s with brand new 737-900ERs, and have more than 35 737-900ERs on order.

We have also invested in the future by

10

p010_HEM0914_CEO.indd 10

ordering 100 737 MAX aircraft and 35 A350-1000 aircraft. These new aircraft will improve our ability to match the right aircraft with demand in the many markets we serve, will open new markets for us to serve you, and will provide a great product for you and a great work environment for our employees.

Our United Express regional partners are also modernizing their fleet by adding new Embraer E175 regional aircraft.

The E175’s spacious aircraft cabin offers similar comfort to our narrowbody aircraft, with first class, Economy Plus and economy seating, and overhead bins large enough to accommodate standard carry-on bags. With its fuel-efficiency and extended range, the E175 allows us to replace smaller, less efficient 50-seat regional jets and provide a superior customer experience. We expect to add 70 E175 regional jets to our United Express fleet over the next two years.

In addition to new aircraft orders, we are committed to improving the fuel efficiency for aircraft already in our fleet while simultaneously reducing

carbon emissions. For example, we plan to retrofit our entire 737 fleet with the advanced Split Scimitar Winglet, which will save 45,000 gallons of fuel per aircraft per year, reducing our carbon emissions. To put this in perspective, with this fuel savings from just one airplane in just one year, the average person could fill up their car for the next 70 years.

I’m proud of our investment in an industry-leading fleet, and we will continue to invest in our products and services to deliver to you a flyer-friendly experience. Thanks again for choosing United. We look forward to welcoming you back on board.

Safety First Scotty Stoddart’s legacy proves a boon for United customers

BY PETER RAPALUS

or Scotty Stoddart, aircraft safety is F a family affair, and one to which the Los Angeles–based lead aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) has committed himself for the long haul.

His nearly 30 years as an AMT or lead AMT follow his father’s 40-year career as a United mechanic at Los Angeles International Airport. And Stoddart plans to clock in for another 20 years, troubleshooting and repairing planes and mentoring younger mechanics.

“It’s really very simple,” he says. “I love my job.”

Stoddart’s career path was never really in question.

“From when I was very young, I knew I was always going to be a United mechanic. Not just any mechanic—a United Airlines mechanic,” he recalls.

“I was thrilled to get the job at United in 1985. It was my dream, and I thought of it as the only place I’d want to work.

12

R1_p012_HEM0914_Voices.indd 12

I’ve felt proud to do this work, keeping our customers safe, ever since.”

While he has been based in Los Angeles his entire career, the airline often calls on Stoddart to service United charter flights or to shuttle off to remote locales to provide maintenance services when other carriers need help.

“Between those trips, all the training I’ve done and being a line mechanic, I’ve had a rich career with a lot of opportunities,” he says. Reaching his goal of serving 20 more years may create another opportunity, as it will qualify him for the FAA’s Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award.

Los Angeles Aircraft Maintenance Managing Director Fabio Maietta says Stoddart epitomizes the best qualities of an airline mechanic: safety first, with no exceptions; a positive spirit toward fellow employees; and a focus on providing customer satisfaction,

even though he rarely encounters those customers.

“We’re mostly working on the planes out of sight, in the middle of the night,” Maietta notes. “I really count on peer leaders like Scotty to keep everyone focused on getting the job done right the first time, so our customers travel safely, comfortably and on time.”

Stoddart’s co-workers know him as a warm, funny and fun-loving man who is still serious about safety and standards.

“All our customers should understand that, at United, aircraft maintenance is the first link in the chain of safety,” he says. “There is nothing a United mechanic won’t do for our customers— nothing at all.”

Stoddart acknowledges, begrudgingly, that at times some items not critical to aircraft safety—like a malfunctioning audio jack—don’t get fixed if customers don’t report them or if the fix would cause a long delay and inconvenience a plane-full of customers. “I feel bad about that broken audio jack and what it means to a customer in that seat,” he says. “But the way we think is, safety is number one; there is no number two. I urge passengers to report things that are not working right to the inflight crew so they can do a write-up, and we can do a repair.”

Stoddart ’s younger sister, Shari Ikeda, a flight attendant, is also a United “lifer.” While he has three children, ages 27, 19 and 14, so far none has expressed an interest in becoming a third-generation United mechanic. He has seen a lot of changes in his time, from servicing airplanes that were state-of-the-art decades ago to working on next-generation aircraft, such as the Boeing 787. Stoddart looks forward to seeing the newest 787, the long-range 787-9, when United launches nonstop service with the aircraft from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia. More change? Bring it on, Stoddart says.

“As much as the job has changed over the years, as much as the airline industry and United have changed, I’ve always loved it, and it just gets better all the time,” he says. “United has done right by my family and by me, and I want to do right by United and our customers.These last 30 years have just gone by in a flash!”

ASK THE PILOT WITH CAPTAIN MIKE BOWERS

Q

What do the colors of the lights on runways and taxiways mean?

The lighting helps pilots determine their position. Taxiways have blue lights along the edges and green lights embedded on the centerline to guide pilots in low-visibility conditions. Runways have primarily white edge lights, replaced by amber lights for the last 2,000 feet of runway.

Most runways also have white centerline lights every 50 feet, lights which alternate from red to white between 3,000 and 1,000 feet of remaining runway, and lights that are entirely red between 1,000 remaining feet and the end of the runway. The changes help us to visually determine how much runway remains simply by observing the color of the lights.

Dinner Is Served United serves meals and snacks to millions of customers a year on flights going around the world. This month, the airline also focuses on feeding folks on the ground. During Feeding America’s Hunger Action Month, we invite customers to join in providing thousands of meals to those in need. uring the month of September, one D dollar from the sale of every Savory, Tapas or Classic snackbox onboard goes to the nation’s leading hunger-relief organization, Feeding America, a network of 200 food banks that serves more than 37 million people in need each year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that nearly 49 million people in the U.S., including 16 million children, don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Every dollar donated helps Feeding America provide nine meals to those in need. United plans to donate up to $150,000 this month—enough for more than one million meals.

14

R1_p014_HEM0914_Connect.indd 14

In addition, United has employee volunteer days all this month at food banks in hub cities. And the company’s commitment to hunger relief doesn’t stop with Hunger Action Month.

Throughout the year, with our Eat for Good program, we help support Feeding America and Common Threads, a community-based program that educates children on nutrition.

To find out more about snackboxes and other foods available onboard, check out our menus, starting on page 153.

DISPATCHES NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

LONDON

AUTO-APPRECIATION It’s tough to fault an art show in which you are the art

BY CHRIS WRIGHT • ILLUSTRATIONS BY PETER OUMANSKI

he opening of “512 Hours” at T London’s Serpentine Gallery has caused quite a stir here, with a line of excitable art fans stretching around the block. “Look!” says one young woman, pointing to an ambulance pulling up nearby. “Is that part of the show?”

It’s not an absurd question, as the performance artist she’s waiting to see is Marina Abramović, who, at the age of 67, is queen bee of the avant-garde, a source of inspiration for Lady Gaga.

This is, after all, the same artist who once presented audience members with the opportunity to point a loaded gun at her head.

Inside, however, the gallery is silent, the expressions solemn. Attendees will later describe it as a meditative, even spiritual experience, but it’s too awkward to be that. The idea is that Abramović and her assistants move among the assembled audience in an otherwise barren space, delivering instructions into random ears—face the wall, lie down, sit—so that we, the viewers, become the art. You can see people grappling with the etiquette: Is it OK to stare? Maybe, if the person has become part of the show.

But how do you know who’s part of the show and who’s not? Beats me.

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2014

p017-021_HEM0914_Globetrotting.indd 17

Meanwhile, every time Abramović passes you by, you feel a little wounded, like a wallflower at a high school disco.

“Me!” your eyes say as she ghosts around the room. “Me!” And then, finally, it happens. The artist takes my hand, guides me to a wooden folding chair and tells me to sit. I stay there for 15 minutes or so, wondering whether I’m experiencing a work of art or others are experiencing me.

After the show, I put this question to an older man who’d occupied a chair not far from my own. “I don’t know,” he says. “But it felt good to sit down.”

Dog Is My Co-Pilot CANINES ARE THE REAL ATTRACTIONS OF MEMPHIS CARRIAGE TOURS

s a horse-drawn carriage clipA clops down Memphis’ famous Beale Street, a woman turns to a man walking beside her. “See?” she says, pointing to a mastiff occupying the carriage’s passenger seat. “They all have them!”

Next month, as thousands of cynophiles descend on Memphis for the Southern Festival of Dogs, they’ll find another dog show on its streets. The spectacle comes courtesy of the city’s carriage operators, whose ride-along pooches have become an attraction in their own right.

Courtney Simpson, a chipper 33-year-old brunette who’s been driving carriages in Memphis for 10 years, says the tradition has its roots in more pragmatic concerns than wet noses and waggly tails. “It actually started back in Roman times,”

she notes, her two-year-old German shepherd, Sonya, lolling on the seat beside her. “They took wolfhounds to protect the chariots when they went out.”

While allowing that Memphis doesn’t have any problems with macewielding barbarian hordes, Simpson says she feels safer with Sonya around.

“If she growls, that person does not get on my carriage,” she explains. “She is a better judge of people than I am.”

So far, Sonya has growled at only a few passengers. Mostly, she sits in front and watches the world go by or snoozes in the back, lulled by the swaying carriage and the perpetual ear rubs. “People like to ride with dogs; they like to pet them and love them,” Simpson says. “Honestly, I think Sonya gets me more rides than my horse does.” —KATE SILVER

In-Flight Entertainment NEED THE FUSELAGE FROM A 747 FOR A FILM SHOOT? RICHARD CHAN IS YOUR MAN.

T

he battered, disembodied cockpit sitting outside a warehouse in North Hollywood doesn’t look like much. In fact, it looks like trash. This dusty old relic, though, is a part of movie history, having

18

R1_p017-021_HEM0914_Globetrotting.indd 18

played a central role in the 1980 comedy Airplane!

The cockpit was one of the first pieces of inventory acquired by Aero Mock-Ups, which was founded a little more than 25 years ago by a British

ex-private pilot named Richard Chan.

Since then, the company has supplied airplane-related sets to hundreds of TV shows, commercials and films— including, most recently, Argo and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Aero Mock-Ups’ building is an odd place—a clutter of seat rows, check-in desks, security gates, toilet cubicles and sections of fuselage. No job is too big or too small, Chan says—or too weird. Recently, he installed a working hot tub and a, “shall I say, exercise pole” in a plane for a rap video.

Chan spends much of his time scouring airplane boneyards, picking up parts that would otherwise be sold for scrap. “I’m the vulture at the end of the pack,” he says. “I’ll just see the interior of an aircraft and buy it all—every last fixture and fitting.”

As large as his inventory is, Chan is looking to expand: He’d really like a Goodyear blimp, he says, or a spacecraft. He also adores the Concorde, but has been unable to acquire one. Until he does, Chan will be consumed by what he calls, with a rueful shake of his head, “fuselage envy.” —JAMES BARTLETT

dispatches INDIA

The Buddhi System ACHIEVING INNER PEACE CAN BE A STRESSFUL BUSINESS

wami Atma is so S chilled-out he seems more reggae singer than spiritual guru. Dressed in golden robes, with long curly hair and heavylidded eyes, he imparts the teachings of the sacred Hindu text the Bhagavad Gita, wisps of sandalwood incense rolling across his wood-paneled studio: “As a flame does not flicker in a windless place, so is the disciplined mind of the yogi practicing meditation.”

The students—who range from bronzed, athletic Americans to middle-class

PUB AMMO

Euro hippies—sit in a semicircle, straight-backed and cross-legged, attempting to absorb 2,200 years of wisdom. “Re-laax!” the swami says in deep, soothing tones. “Easy, no?”

The students don’t look very relaxed. “Ugh,” says one young guy, twisting his back in the cloying heat.

The one-month yoga course is taking place in Rishikesh, on the banks of the Ganges, a sacred place to Hindus and a big draw for Westerners seeking spiritual improvement.

But a lot has changed here

since the Beatles rolled into town to bone up on their Transcendental Meditation techniques, back in 1968.

Today, Rishikesh is a swarm of time-poor, cash-rich tourists looking to buy inner peace with matching devotional paraphernalia.

The city has also seen a proliferation of classes offering fast-track physical and spiritual well-being.

Before an open window overlooking the foothills

of the Himalayas, Swami Atma maps out the path to enlightenment, his smooth cadences and the slanting light providing a brief glimpse into the realm of inner peace. Then, abruptly, a young German woman breaks the spell.

“Wait!” she says upon hearing that we are all different but connected.

“Will we need to know this for the exam?” —HANNAH STUART-LEACH

FRANKLY, MY DEAR COURTESY OF HARRY RANSOM CENTER

A new exhibition reveals the off-screen drama behind one of the biggest movies ever made

S

eventy-five years after its release, Gone With the Wind remains one of America’s most successful—and divisive—films. Set in the Deep South in the Civil War era, the epic drama incorporates issues of gender, class and race relations into a bodice-rending love story—a highly controversial thing to do in 1930s America. This month, visitors to the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, can get a glimpse of the drama that went on behind the scenes at “The Making of Gone With the Wind,” an exhibition comprising 300-plus items, ranging from the gowns Vivien Leigh wore as Scarlett O’Hara to the storyboards that plotted the action. The film may seem a bit overwrought for today’s tastes, but the story of its creation reveals a fresh look at this American classic. —CHRIS WRIGHT (SEPTEMBER 9)

THE WRITE STUFF While it’s true that style can’t be bought, when it comes to writing, psychologist Steven Pinker argues in his new book, The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century, that it can be taught. Below, he breaks down the essentials. —ERIN BRADY 1 Read. Good writers are avid readers.

They savor and reverse-engineer good prose, trying to figure out how it works— everything from what makes a witticism funny to where to put the commas.

2 Empathize. Put yourself in your readers’ shoes. Can they really be expected to know the difference between Nexus, Sentri and FAST, or remember what “secondary entry mode” means?

Weezer Time ’90S ROCKERS BRING A RETRO SOUND TO A NEW ERA ongtime Weezer fans may find themselves feeling a bit nostalgic L when they listen to Everything Will Be Alright in the End. The songs are compact, heavy rockers reminiscent of the band’s early hit records— which isn’t a surprise, considering that Weezer went back to working with Ric Ocasek, the frontman of new wave pioneers The Cars and the producer of those early albums.

“That’s what Ric does,” Weezer drummer Pat Wilson says. “He wants it to be tight. It was exactly how it was on The Green Album and The Blue Album.”

Of course, a lot has changed in the two decades since Weezer released their debut record. Nowadays, a person can achieve beyond-rock-star levels of fame just for doing something silly on the Internet. Wilson got a taste of this dynamic a few months ago, when a video of him catching a Frisbee midsong during a concert—and never losing time on the drums—went viral.

“It was pure ninja moves,” he says, laughing. “I’ll tell you, two days later, I went to In-N-Out Burger, and it was like Jesus had walked in.”

—JUSTIN GOLDMAN (SEPTEMBER 30)

3 Visualize. People understand by seeing, not by pondering abstract verbiage.

Don’t write “Approach the issue from a law enforcement perspective” when you mean “Call the police.”

4 Look stuff up. A good dictionary will embolden you to flout spurious schoolmarm rules (yes, you can begin a sentence with “and”), while protecting you from the embarrassment of flouting legitimate ones (“fulsome” and “meretricious” are insults, not compliments).

5 Revise. No mere mortal can think well and write well simultaneously. After the first draft, let some time elapse and go at it again to rework the prose. The order in which thoughts occur to a writer is rarely the order in which they can be readily understood by a reader. (SEPTEMBER 30)

Broadway’s Best Bets This fall, a slew of Hollywood stars will abandon the big screen to tread the Broadway boards. We’ve ranked the season’s buzziest productions, based on star wattage and theatrical prestige, to help you pick the perfect show. Here’s our wholly unscientific guide to the theater world’s best buys. —NICHOLAS DERENZO YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU

STAR WATTAGE

SHONDA RHIMES OWNS THURSDAY When viewers tune into ABC on Thursdays this fall, they’ll find a three-hour programming block devoted entirely to one creative mind: Shonda Rhimes, founder and head of the production company ShondaLand. The lineup includes 11-season workhorse “Grey’s Anatomy” at 8 p.m., salacious hit “Scandal” at 9 p.m. and the brand-new “How to Get Away with Murder,” starring two-time Oscar nominee Viola Davis, at 10 p.m.

ABC president Paul Lee announced the schedule at this spring’s network upfronts by saying, “I call [Rhimes] the Charles Dickens of the 21st century—if Charles Dickens had been black and a woman.”

While Dickens and Rhimes share a predilection for plot twists, cliffhangers and large ensemble casts, there’s an even more appropriate old white man to compare her to: Aaron Spelling, who 30 years ago ruled Saturday nights on ABC with “T.J. Hooker,” “The Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island.” —ND

ALSO OUT THIS MONTH TV CBS debuts its drama “Madam Secretary,” about an ambitious Secretary of State (any resemblance to real persons is purely coincidental).

British comedic actor Simon Pegg, best known for apocalyptic farce, takes a turn for the dramatic iven that he is one of the funniest comic G actors around, it’s odd to hear Simon Pegg recoil from being called a funnyman.

“I don’t want to be regarded as a comedian,” he says, speaking on the phone from Los Angeles. “I’m not a comedian; I’m an actor.”

Best known for starring in and co-creating a trilogy of grisly slapstick films—Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End—Pegg takes a step toward the dramatic with his latest venture, Hector and the Search for Happiness.

In it, Pegg plays a disillusioned psychologist who travels the world looking for the secret of happiness. As for the ending: Let’s just say that there are no zombies involved.

Fans might be alarmed at the prospect of a feel-good Pegg film, but they needn’t worry too much. While Hector isn’t quite the “schlubby, loserish” type that Pegg often plays, he still delivers plenty of pratfalls. Pegg’s

inspired set pieces are there, too (Hector announces he is leaving for China and a gong rings out—a phonic device that falls apart when the camera moves to a woman who has dropped a metal tray).

That said, the film, adapted from the novel by François Lelord, ultimately invites contemplation rather than belly laughs— which isn’t as incongruous as it sounds.

Pegg studied literature and theater at college in Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare. “I wanted to play Hamlet,” he says.

When asked if Hector represents a move toward such ambitions, Pegg points to his breakthrough film, Shaun of the Dead, which he says is riddled with weighty topics. “We’ve always injected seriousness into our comedies,” he says. “Shaun had to shoot his own mother.” –CHRIS WRIGHT (SEPTEMBER 19)

SIMON PEGG ON… HAPPY LIVING: “People project their aspirations onto things that don’t have any meaning. Happiness is where you start from rather than where you go. God, I sound like Yoda.”

28

R1_p023-028_HEM0914_Culture.indd 28

HAPPY ENDINGS: “In The World’s End, the ending was ambiguous, disconcerting.

Hector wraps up in a lovely way. It’s not a bad thing. You can achieve great dramatic weight through resolution.”

HAPPY ACTING: “I don’t want to be the guy who says they do this film so they can do that film. Even with the big stuff, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, I have fun. It’s like being in a huge playground.”

MIXING IT UP Bartending campers at Camp Runamok

KENTUCKY

CAMP COCKTAIL The world’s best sleepaway camp is no place for kids

BY ANNE BERRY

WWW.THECAMERACLICKS.COM

t Camp Runamok, a six-day sumA mer sleepaway camp in Lebanon Junction, Kentucky, guests drink more bourbon than “bug juice.” But don’t worry: The campers here are all professional bartenders, and they’re all over 21.

That doesn’t mean, however, that this place is lacking in childlike playfulness.

Quite the opposite. Attendees might, for example, find themselves on a grown-up scavenger hunt, searching for ingredients for the perfect Boulevardier (bourbon, Campari, sweet vermouth, ice), then stirring and straining the cocktail, all while being pelted with paintballs by a man dressed as Captain America.

Louisville bartender Jared Schubert and Lindsey Johnson, CEO of wine and spirits marketing firm Lush Life Productions, started their immersive bourbon experience in 2012 to, as Johnson says, “teach the bar trade about American whiskey and build lasting friendships so that everyone has a place to guest-bartend and a bed to sleep in wherever they go.” That means spirited nighttime team-building exercises— cabin-versus-cabin prank wars and talent shows featuring irreverent performances like a gargled “William Tell Overture”—are paired with geeky daytime tours and tastings at the region’s

historic distilleries. But there’s an altruistic goal at play here, too: to raise money for their host, Lions Camp Crescendo, which caters to kids with special needs.

In addition to fundraisers, like an auction to shave a fellow camper’s bushy beard, attendees scrub and paint the cabins and beautify on-site gardens.

“Everyone here is in the right spirit and has an honest love of whiskey,” says New Orleans bartender Kimberly Patton-Bragg, who returned this year as a head counselor. “Going into the rickhouses and touching the barrels, the smell of whiskey in the air—to go where these brands are born is special.”

The camp has become so popular that, despite expanding to a second installment this year (September 7-12), only one in four applicants is accepted.

For now, Runamok is open only to pro mixologists, plus the occasional chef or coffee expert. Luckily, Kentucky isn’t wanting for interactive bourbon experiences. At Louisville’s Bourbon Barrel Foods, local chefs and bartenders run monthly guest cocktail parties and cooking demonstrations, often featuring products like barrel-aged soy sauce or bourbon-smoked salts and spices. If you’re more serious about the craft, you can enroll at the city’s Moonshine University, which offers five-day distiller courses, twoday workshops in distillation or whiskey blending, and two-hour talks and tastings at Grease Monkey Distillery. For a true spirit immersion, book a stay at Bardstown’s Bourbon Manor Bed & Breakfast, where the three-story barn will host mixology classes and pairing dinners. The place has bourbon running through its veins: The Federal-style estate is owned by the descendants of the legendary Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., widely considered the father of modern bourbon.

Tipplin’ It Easy Mixologists offer up cocktails for those who prefer to drink in moderation Mixing cocktails in a city that relies heavily on public transit, like London or New York, is a breeze.

In fact, the resurgence of overproof spirits and absinthe-based drinks shows that no one seems overly concerned with the breathalyzer. But what’s a mixologist to do in a driving town like Atlanta or Los Angeles, where responsible drinkers often follow a one-and-done rule? It’s a problem Paul Calvert of Paper Plane speakeasy, in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur, has tackled head-on. Rather than fill his menu with mocktails, Calvert has devised an innovative roster of low-alcohol cocktails—akin to the trendy session beers hitting the microbrew world—that allows folks to sample his creations without fear of intoxication. His solution: Load them up with beers, wines, fortified wines and aperitifs, which contain a quarter to a half the amount of alcohol you’d find in standard gins, rums and whiskeys.

“Because these drinks are often based on fortified wines like vermouth and sherry, they pair better with food than traditional high-octane cocktails do,” Calvert says. “They also introduce guests to ingredients they may not usually drink, like Madeira or port.” Here, he shows us how to make a bar favorite. —Lucille Howe

HEAVEN ON EARTH WITH AN ONION SLICE The five-star burger at Le Gaïac

Would You Like Foies with That?

The humble hamburger gets the five-star treatment on St. Bart’s Paris is in the midst of a well-publicized love affair with that most classic of all-American dishes, le hamburger.

It’s no surprise, then, that the trend has trickled down to France’s overseas territories, such as the haute Caribbean hideaway of St. Barthélemy. Granted, the island has always had a soft spot for the dish: Divey Le Select, which opened in the capital, Gustavia, in 1949, is said to have inspired Jimmy Buffett’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” But these days, the burger has received a posh makeover at the hands of the island’s top chefs—with prices to match.

“In France, you’re finding more hamburgers by Michelinstarred chefs,” says Guy Lombard, general manager of Hôtel Le Toiny, whose Restaurant Le Gaïac may be the island’s ritziest eatery. “It’s a chance to showcase homemade bread and the best ground beef, but then bring it up to a more gastronomique level.” Le Gaïac’s five-star burger ($40) includes ground Angus flank, aged cheddar, buns baked daily by the pastry chef and lettuce grown onsite.

At L’Esprit Jean Claude Dufour, which made its name on $38 scallop sashimi and $61 plates of pigeon, the lunch menu’s veal burger, dressed up with grilled vegetables and a Parmesan emulsion, is a relative steal at $32. And at upscale steakhouse Meat & Potatoes, Thursdays have been given over to burger parties, featuring a roster of chic burgers ($29–$45) that include ingredients like Wagyu beef, grilled scallions and tomatoes from nearby Guadeloupe. “Today, everyone loves a good burger,” says the chef-owner, who goes by JC. “It’s a phenomenon, like club sandwiches were 20 years ago.” —JOLYON HELTERMAN

SCOTT KNUTSON (KALETTES); LE GAÏAC (BURGER)

Think of the Kalette as the Cronut of the vegetable world. Both have trademarked names. Both have bloggers buzzing. And both are hybrid creations designed to ride the wave of popularity of their component parts.

Instead of croissants and doughnuts, however, British seed-breeding company Tozer Seeds has turned to the trendy veggies kale and Brussels sprouts for inspiration. Less bitter than sprouts and crunchier than leafy greens, the Kalette combines the best of the two versatile superfoods.

When it hits American shelves this fall, the Kalette will be the first new vegetable to debut since broccolini was invented in Japan in 1993.

Though they’ve been available in Britain since 2010 under the name “flower sprouts,” Kalettes are crossing the pond with an official name change to capitalize on kale’s continuing buzz.

While they are genetically modified, Kalettes are not considered GMOs, because they were created using centuries-old selective crossbreeding techniques, rather than by splicing or shutting off genes. It took more than 15 years to perfect the crop, making the timing of the release a bit serendipitous.

“Each time a new cross breed is developed, it has to be tested through at least one growing cycle,” says Lisa Friedrich, Tozer’s American marketing representative. “Who would have thought 15 years ago that kale was going to be so trendy?”

BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT:

Grab a seat on an outdoor wrap-around couch next to the firepit outside The Pony Room, a bar and eatery that serves up a mean “Sassy Sangrita.” Get there in the early evening, position yourself to face the croquet lawn, and you’ll be treated to the spectacle of multicolored hot air balloons drifting into the sky, silhouetted by the setting sun.

45 acres of gardens and olive groves, Rancho Valencia—which underwent a $30 million facelift in 2012—puts a Southwestern spin on Mediterranean motifs with terracotta roofs, intricate tile-work, fountains and exposed beams.

AN ART DECO REDUX PRINCE DE GALLES

DESIGN NOTES: The 159-room hotel reopened last

mexico city

BEST SPA IN THE D.F. MARQUIS REFORMA HOTEL & SPA

AMAZING AMENITY: The Marquis Reforma’s biggest highlight is the Spa Marquis.

Between the hydrotherapy tub, the Swiss shower (which is like walking through a luxurious car wash) and a vast array of treatments (including a magnetic massage to rid you of “electromagnetic pollution”), this is not a place where you’ll struggle to pamper yourself.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: The hotel sits on Mexico City’s trendy Paseo de la Reforma, within walking distance of two of the city’s most beautiful locales: the Palace of Fine Arts, which houses murals by David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera, and Chapultepec, one of the largest city parks in the Americas. For the retail-minded, the swish shops of Plaza La Rosa are also nearby.

year following a two-year, $100 million renovation.

Designers Pierre-Yves Rochon and Bruno Borrione sought to revive the property’s Art Deco splendor.

Makassar ebony features in cabinets and trim throughout. The walls of the upper floors are lined with classic Vogue magazine photos of the era. The original mosaic flooring of the interior patio has been restored. All that’s missing are the flappers.

BACKSTORY: In the 1920s, Paris City Hall auctioned

a parcel of land just off the Champs-Élysées. Two developers battled over the property, which was eventually split between them. One half became the George V Hotel, the other the Prince de Galles, which was built in 1928. Its architect, André-Louis Arfvidson, was inspired by the Decorative Arts exhibition (where the term Art Deco originated) that had taken Paris by storm a few years earlier.

CLAIM TO FAME: The Prince de Galles was originally built to be a home away from home for the future English king, Edward VIII. Edward never stayed at the hotel named in his honor, but it has attracted many other luminaries, including Winston Churchill, Elvis Presley, Marlene Dietrich and, more recently, Michael Jackson, who was a frequent guest here. The flashbulbs mostly pop next door at the George V, which serves the international celebrity crowd, while the Prince de Galles has traditionally been favored by those valuing a bit more privacy and discretion.

HOT DISH: Japanese and Mexican cuisines

may not seem like an obvious pairing, but chefs Masayuki Niikura and Angel Carbajal put their toques together to create Nick-San, which has six locations in Mexico, including one at the Reforma. Standout dishes include the tuna tostada, yellowfin tuna belly served on a rice cracker tostada, and sashimi serranito, served with a serrano chile sauce.

DESIGN NOTES: The aesthetic here amounts

to a kind of colorized, streamlined Art Deco.

On your way into the lobby, you pass a tall archway and a dramatic statue of Aztec warriors reaching for the skies. The sweeping marble staircase is a stunner, and the perfect place to run into a celebrity (Sting, Elton John and Salma Hayek have stayed here).

THE THRILL OF THE PLACE Holiday romances have as much to do with where you are as whom you’re with

BY ANNIE DALY • ILLUSTRATION BY DONNA GRETHEN

I

met Adam while standing in a queue at an English pub, during my junior year abroad. He wore chunky-framed glasses, skinny jeans and a too-tight T-shirt that endearingly showed off his lack of muscles. Today we’d call him a hipster, but back then he was just cute. We started talking and boom.

Numbers were exchanged. Hearts fluttered.

It’s hard to say whether I’d have been as hot on Adam if I’d met him, say, at my local laundromat. The whole point of holiday romances is that the object of your passion embodies the exoticism of your surroundings. You may think you’re infatuated with the dark-eyed boy who rakes leaves outside your Costa Blanca villa, but really you are infatuated with Spain.

While no one would have accused Adam of being exotic, he was irrefutably foreign, and that was enough for me. The day after our first encounter, he called and asked if I’d “fancy a wander” (Hugh Grant–speak for “like to take a walk”). I couldn’t tell whether I was excited about the walk itself or because my British crush had asked if I’d “fancy” one. Either way, I was in. That evening, we strolled to a little pub named The Rose, where we sipped snakebites and bantered with the locals. At the end of the night, we kissed.

Later, mooning around my bedroom, I thought about how lucky I was that Adam and I had happened to be standing in the same line in the same pub—which brings us to another vital aspect of the holiday romance. The lifeblood of these affairs is serendipity, the thrill of the unexpected. On top of this is the understanding that the affair has a built-in expiration date, which ramps up the passion even more.

Airport sobbing is part of the deal.

I spent eight happy weeks with Adam, and then I never saw him again.

Fast-forward to last January, a dingy bar in New York City’s East Village, knocking back happy-hour Buds with my friend Anna. A couple pints in, we hatched a plan to ditch the city, Airbnb our apartments and head for the beaches of Costa Rica, where we’d work remotely while soaking up some much-needed vitamin D. Despite the unreliability of tipsy “we should totally do this” schemes, we followed through,

40

p040_HEM0914_TravelEssay.indd 40

ending up at a pretty little seaside town called Tamarindo. A few days in, my thoughts turned to romance.

Now, a lot has changed in the eight years since I fell for that boy with the English accent. For starters, who has the time to stand around in bars waiting for fate to do its thing?

Also, back then we didn’t have Tinder, the GPS-based dating app that’s popular with single travelers. So, during a lull in my hectic lolling-around schedule, I logged in and, after about 30 seconds, found what I was looking for: Chris, a sexy surfer whose profile read, “Costa Rica love … pura vida.” Sold to the lady who digs local lingo!

Chris was even better-looking in person. In fact, he was melt-the-floor hot—long dreadlocks, bronzed skin, ripped surfer arms. We met up at a local beach, Playa Grande, where we spent a nice day splashing around in the sea. And that was that. A few days later, I had another Tinder date with an equally hunky local guy, who also failed to spark any passion. When I returned to New York, I did so with my heart very much intact.

So what went wrong? On paper (or screen), my Costa Rican love interests were perfect, as if these guys had been cobbled together according to a holiday-romance checklist. Except for one important thing: I hadn’t actually met them in Costa Rica; I’d met them online. And this fact undermined that delirious muddle of person and place that gives the holiday romance its peculiar power.

Thinking about this recently, something else occurred to me.

Had Tinder been available when I met Adam, and had I happened across his skinny-hipster profile on the app, there’s a good chance I’d have swiped right by. And herein lies the problem with online dating in general: It fails to take into account that romance has nothing to do with finding what’s perfect, and everything to do with finding what’s right.

ANNIE DALY, a New York–based writer, may not have found love in Costa Rica, but she did come back with a very nice tan.

BAIT AND SWITCH After a high-tech salmon-catching expedition, a skeptic realizes the joys of slow fishing

S

tare at it long enough and the classic two-tone fishing bobber will play tricks on the human brain, especially one navigating the rigors of adolescence.

Hallucinations mostly. In my preteen years, I suffered many weekend mornings watching a bobber bob, desperate for the rush that comes with its momentary submersion. And while I waited for a fish to take a bite of my hastily hooked mealworm, my bobber would inevitably transform. Sometimes it became a killer tomato from a favorite cartoon or a scoop of ice cream I would have sold my sister to eat. Then I’d catch myself, readjust my eyes and see the bobber smugly bouncing

atop the placid Kentucky lakes my father favored. The only thing more annoying than that bobber was my father’s stock response to my cries of boredom: “It’s called fishing, not catching.”

Suffice it to say, I never much cared for the sport.

The ritual of waking up incredibly early on a day you didn’t have school, spending interminable hours on an overturned bucket and envying insects as they feasted on fish guts—at least they had a good breakfast— ruined fishing for me. As I got older, and was allowed to dictate my own free time, I told my father I had better things to do than watch a bobber bob.

Fifteen years went by before I even thought about sniffing a night crawler again. What changed? I’m a father now. My daughter can’t even crawl yet, and I’m already feeling that paternal urge to force her into bonding experiences. In my family, that means fishing. It’s what my father did with me and his father with him. But if I was going to put my daughter through this, I thought, perhaps first I ought to learn to enjoy the sport myself.

I’d heard about the San Juan Islands off the northwestern coast of Washington. When the calendar’s right, there’s no surer thing than the salmon run in this pocket of the Pacific. Late summer in odd-numbered years is the time to strike, and forecasts for August of last year called for more than 6 million salmon to pass through these waters. Fishing is so easy there, it could in fact be called catching, and that’s what I was after. I thought that, if I could just eliminate the waiting, the bobbers and the jaw-busting yawns, I could learn to love this sport and pass it on to my daughter.

So it was I met up with Jay Field, the owner and captain of a deep-sea-fishing

44

p043-045_HEM0914_TheFan.indd 44

outfit called Dash One, at 6:15 in the morning on a dock at Roche Harbor on the northwest side of San Juan Island.

Though the wake-up call and my captain’s inadvisable facial hair hadn’t changed since I last went fishing with my father, the equipment had. In place of the dinghy of my childhood was a 26-foot Osprey with a remote-control motor. And instead of my old tackle box and bag of night crawlers, I had the latest in state-of-the-art fishing equipment, which included a Cannon Digi-Troll 10—a digitally operated, push-button contraption with an LCD screen that looked more like a militaryissued crane than a fishing rod.

After finding our way through Mosquito Pass and out into open ocean, Field pointed to his “fish finder”— another LCD screen that showed a red pixelated mass on top of blue and green pixelated masses. “We’re putting the puzzle together,” he told me, indicating that there was something below.

Field then set up four rods, each with a fluorescent lure and a shiny metal flasher, which attracts salmon by reflecting light. The rods fit into holsters above the Digi-Trolls, each

At the press of a button, the lines descended to a specified depth—a depth that was displayed on the LCD screen. Field then grabbed the remote control for the motor, and we set to trolling.

“This way we cover more water,” Field said, explaining that moving the boat with the lines at a specific depth gave us the best chance to catch fish. “Hopefully we can put the bait in front of their faces.”

Five minutes after the lines touched the water, Field saw a rod bounce. He snatched it, started reeling and then

SEPTEMBER 2014 • HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM

culture

handed it to one of my boatmates, who won the honor of landing the day’s first salmon. Not three minutes later, we hooked another. I grabbed the rod, and Field immediately started shouting instructions: “Keep it tight! Don’t let him get to the engine!” I pulled up on the rod, reeled as I let it down and pulled everything toward my side of the boat. The fish was fighting, as anything with a hook in its mouth would. I reeled, I pulled, I shouted, “It’s a leviathan!” When it reached the boat, I saw that I had overestimated.

But it was the first fish I’d caught in 15 years. That should have been cause for celebration. Instead, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d cheated.

Here’s why: The fishing I knew as a boy called for you to bait a hook, cast a line, wait and reel in, usually without a fish. This was different. An expert did all the hard work for me, and I took over only once the fish was hooked. I felt like I had put the candles on a cake and called myself a baker. Then there was the technology. Sure, the Digi-Trolls, fish finder, remote control motor and depth monitor made everything easier, but the whole high-tech process was

so far removed from the cast-and-wait fishing I knew as a child that it felt like a different sport.

“I get a lot of satisfaction out of finding the fish,” Field explained when I asked him about the technology. He said the tools turn fishing into a hunt.

“I think the fun is in figuring out the depth and the bait that’s working and finding the right area. Then you own it. For me, it’s hunt, find, fish.”

Keith Ammons, the resident fishing expert for Discover Boating magazine, has a different take. “I think the actual catching of the fish is not the end goal.

Spending that quality time is the goal.

That conversation I can have with my spouse or my father is the most important part,” he told me.

I had sought out Ammons to talk about what I call “slow fishing”—the fishing I did as a kid. He encouraged me to give the slow version another shot now that I’m no longer 12. “It’s no cell phones. No TV. No video games.

I don’t want to say there’s no rules, but it’s just about being able to get away and relax,” he said.

So on a cool spring morning earlier this year I forced my six-month-old

the fan

and my wife to accompany me to a pier near our apartment in Oakland.

Pier fishing, a tradition in California, was new to me, but I quickly learned that I could rent a rod nearby and fish without a license. After finding a spot, I baited my hook and cast into the San Francisco Bay. As I watched the line fly through the air and the bait land with a splash, I was transported back to those algae-infested Kentucky lakes I fished as a kid. Casting, the most fun part of fishing, is also the quickest.

Then came the waiting. Ten minutes passed. Then 20. I fidgeted a little but realized I wasn’t bored. I was enjoying the sun bouncing off the water and the rhythmic crashing of the waves, with nothing on the other end of my line but a worm and a hook. In a few years my daughter will consider this boring. But I’m old enough now to finally see that what I once considered boring is what adults everywhere call relaxing—what a certain kind of person calls “fishing.”

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right).

This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

ON STOCKHOLM STYLE This one-time model is now PR coordinator for the Stockholm-based lifestyle company Tieday Group, a subscription service that offers monthly boxers, shirts and ties for men. Here, the “well-dressed, but never overdressed” minimalist shares his Stockholm style secrets and staples.

INTERVIEW BY SARA LIEBERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATHIEU DENEEN

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE STOCKHOLM STYLE? Modernism and functionality. People who visit the capital normally describe it as trendy, dressed up, but never too flashy.

WHAT SHOULD VISITORS WEAR TO FIT IN? Go for classic, quality pieces with a contemporary fit, and remember the saying “less is more.”

A well-tailored coat or jacket, a crisp shirt and a pair of jeans will take you through the day.

WHERE IN STOCKHOLM DO YOU SHOP? Acne Studios has a good range of denim and more fashion-forward pieces. Also, one of the components of the Tieday Group is a made-tomeasure shirt brand called Pegaston, so I get all my shirts there. I wear them most days of the week, even to the beach!

DO YOU WEAR TIES WITH THOSE TOO? It all depends on my mood. Some days I smarten up and turn up at work in a full suit and a tie, other days I run around at a photo shoot in trainers and a tee.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER FASHION HABITS? I often end up buying pieces almost identical to stuff I already have. What I admire in other people is a sense of consistency. If it works on you, make it your trademark.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR LOOK TODAY. The sunglasses are a collaboration between Raf Simons and Linda Farrow. The light chambray shirt with a mandarin collar is a new addition to my wardrobe. It’s made-to-measure that I customized to my liking. I picked up the chinos this summer. The fit is quite slim, for an updated take on the style classic. The shoes are Valentino. I first tried them on in London and decided not to buy them, but could not quite get them out of my mind and eventually stumbled upon them again on sale in Paris!

A LIL’ BIT COUNTRY Traversing Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains in the Mercedes-Benz G63

BY JORDAN HELLER • ILLUSTRATION BY BRETT AFFRUNTI

EXTERIOR Most vehicles these days look the same. But the G-Class, first introduced in 1979, is iconic with its uniquely boxy design. Credit the SUV’s military roots for its imposing exterior, which, in 1980, was considered tough enough to serve as John Paul II’s Popemobile, dubbed the “Papa-G.”

ENGINE An hour south of the Mason-Dixon Line, folks tend to prefer Americanmade cars. But after pulling up next to a HarleyDavidson and revving the bi-turbo V-8 engine—which takes the G-Class 0–60 mph in 5.3 seconds—we earned respect in the form of a hearty throttle and a salute.

PARKING HELP When pulling into the Lone Oak Tavern in Boyce, the preponderance of Harley-Davidsons—and their gruff owners—was intimidating. Luckily, we had PARKTRONIC technology— ultrasonic sensors on the front and rear bumpers—to help us avoid knocking over any bikes while parking.

INTERIOR More than 60 countries’ militaries have G-Class vehicles in their arsenals, but we doubt they’re as nice as this one. Nappa leather abounds, a nifty tablet computer on the dash features everything from satellite navigation to Sirius satellite radio, and the steering wheel? It’s heated.

CRUISE CONTROL We took a new G63 into the Blue Ridge Mountains. On Skyline Drive, the 35 mph speed limit was frustrating, but the adaptive cruise control—which keeps tabs on the vehicle in front of you and automatically slows down as needed—kept us coasting safely so we could enjoy the view.

SUSPENSION The G stands for Geländewagen, German for “cross-country vehicle.”

With more than 8 inches of vertical wheel travel, 7.7 inches of ground clearance and gas-pressurized shock absorbers, this Benz was perfect for the rugged back roads around Shenandoah River State Park.

APPS With live country music and $5 pitchers, the Lone Oak Tavern is a must-stop in this part of the country. But the G63’s “Google Points of Interest” app gave us other ideas, too, including Harpers Ferry. If John Brown had shown up in a G, we thought, he may have avoided capture.

PRIVACY WINDOWS We could tell you about the three lockable differentials that balance torque and traction, making any terrain nothing more than a bump in the road, but this is a Benz, people.

The G-Class is about style. In that spirit, peep the baller deep-tinted windows on the rear cabin and cargo space.

CLEANING UP A FLOATING PLASTIC GARBAGE PATCH TWICE THE SIZE OF TEXAS ILLUSTRATION BY JAMESON SIMPSON

N

othing inspires eco-shame quite like the Pacific Ocean’s sprawling plastic garbage patch, which Greenpeace International estimates now stretches over a surface area roughly twice the size of Texas. Scientists aren’t yet clear on just how devastating such wide-scale pollution may prove to be in the long run, but the current numbers speak for themselves: Degraded plastic particles now outnumber zooplankton at a rate of six to one, and the 154,000 tons of plastic bits are changing the ocean ecosystem, perhaps irreversibly. That’s where 19-year-old Dutch aeronautical engineering student Boyan Slat comes in. Inspired by the disheartening number of plastic bags he saw while on a diving trip in Greece, Slat assembled a 100-person team to build and test several floating booms that will passively collect garbage without using the harmful nets that can entangle and drown marine life. He’s calling the project The Ocean Cleanup and estimates that, if all goes well, a fully operational pilot could be up and running in three to five years. Here’s how he’ll do it. —JACQUELINE DETWILER

1 Passive garbage collection is based on the idea that, instead of heading out to chase down trash, we should allow the ocean to do all the heavy lifting for us. To increase efficiency, Slat’s team recently studied currents, ocean depth, wind speed and plastic flow to determine the optimal locations to attach stationary collection platforms to the sea bed.

2 A V-shaped floating boom, with two 30-mile-long arms, will corral currentpropelled trash toward this centralized platform. Buoyant plastics on the surface of the water will be gathered, while fish and other marine life will flow underneath the booms, keeping them safe from getting inadvertently swept up in the cleanup process.

3 Plastics will then be removed from the collection platforms and loaded onto boats for processing and recycling back on the mainland. Based on early projections, Slat’s stations will collect more than 7 million tons of waste from the ocean.

Best of all, his plan will reportedly be 7,900 times faster and 33 times cheaper than traditional cleanup methods.

THE NEXT SMALL THING A new wave of brash young developers is posing challenges to the products—and the street cred—of the tech giants

BY BOYD FARROW • ILLUSTRATION BY CHRISTOPHER NIELSEN

he line between the virtual and T actual just got blurrier. Google Glass is feeding the Internet directly into our eyeballs, and the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset allows us to invite video game characters into our homes.

We are, according to approximately 36 trillion online think pieces, on the verge of a new era in how we access the digital world.

It’s no surprise that this brave new world is being ushered in by the likes of Google and Facebook, with the latter

paying $2 billion for Oculus this past spring. These are the companies, after all, that changed the way we use the Internet. And yet, there is a growing sense that digital superstars like Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg might want to start looking over their shoulders.

The big issue facing the tech giants is that, well, they’re giants. Many users worry that Google and Facebook will mine their data and bombard their virtual worlds with ads. Markus Persson, creator of Minecraft, has said that

he is no longer tweaking his game for Oculus Rift because Facebook “creeps me out.” And allied to such concerns, of course, is the all-important question of image.

Google Glass has received wallto-wall coverage in the mainstream media. That kind of success can be the kiss of death for users in the coveted 15-to-25-year-old age group. Instead, hard-core techies—the “I was talking about that ages ago” crowd—are frothing about products like castAR, 3-D

virtual reality glasses that may or may not challenge Oculus Rift on the experience side of things, but are definitely giving it a run for its money in terms of the kids being down with it.

The outfit behind castAR, Technical Illusions, was founded last year by gaming veterans Jeri Ellsworth and Rick Johnson. Tellingly, their Kickstarterfunded prototype was not introduced at a convention with dry ice and a power ballad. It was first shown in May 2013 to geek evangelists at the Bay Area Maker Faire. “I’m a tinkerer myself, so it was refreshing to see something so homemade,” says gaming guru Brian Bruning, who was at the unveiling and who later joined the company. And there is an increasing number of small indie outfits emerging, all of them eager to ride what’s starting to look like an anti-establishment wave.

Johnson and Bruning acknowledge that there has been a groundswell of goodwill for companies like theirs following Facebook’s acquisition of Oculus. But Zuckerberg’s transformation from kid brother to Big Brother isn’t the only thing driving the proliferation of rival products. “We’re seeing this explosion of people creating new devices partly because of the falling cost of commodity components,” Johnson says about the alternatives to Google Glass.

Johnson goes on to add a quick plug for his own product, demonstrating that even a developer who appears on his company website wearing a tattered cowboy hat might not be entirely averse to a spot of marketing. He says castAR represents “the first time anyone has brought a technology of the future to people at an affordable price.” (You can preorder the device and its accessories for $345.)

Despite their cool, scruffy, iconoclastic veneer, these whiz kids will inevitably get sucked into the swirl of money and influence that has already claimed Zuckerberg and Page. In fact, says Evercore analyst Ken Sena, the upstarts are playing into their larger rivals’ hands. “They may represent a backlash against big companies. Everybody loves an underdog, but the big players make most of their money from software,” Sena says. “Google is not in the glasses-making business. The more competing devices that come along, the more opportunities the major players will have to sell their software.”

This is a good point, but, again, it may not be the central one. The worry for Google and Facebook isn’t that these rival products will pick pennies from their pockets; the worst-case scenario, the thing that may be causing peptic twinges in the boardrooms of Silicon Valley, is the prospect of losing the next

here’s a mountain of anecdotal evidence supporting the idea that you’re more likely to be a grouch when you haven’t eaten enough. Take the proliferation of the term “hangry” (hungry + angry) or the Snickers ad campaign that sees the snackdeprived morph into famous curmudgeons like Don Rickles. Of course, science can’t rely on conventional wisdom, so Ohio State University psychologist Brad Bushman and his colleagues set out to prove our collective hunch: Their recently published study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that low blood sugar correlates with increased nastiness toward a spouse. Researchers asked couples to take a nightly blood glucose reading and then, just before bed, stick pins in a voodoo doll representing their significant others. They were also given the opportunity to subject their partners to recordings of sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard, dentist drills and smoke alarms. Predictably, lower glucose levels yielded more pin sticks and louder,

John always enjoyed fishing with the guys and dancing with his wife. Coronary bypass surgery at age 42 did not stop either activity. Then 17 years later, he knew something was not right.

Tests confirmed John’s suspicions.

The only option appeared to be getting on a heart pump and waiting for a transplant, but the cardiovascular team at UTMB Health saw another way. They recommended an aggressive bypass graft procedure. John benefited from the work of skilled specialists, subspecialists, surgeons, nurses, and technicians. These are gifted clinicians who teach others their art, using the very latest technology and techniques.Today John has his full life back.

Cardiovascular care at UTMB is state of the art and comprehensive, from heart rhythm studies to bypass to transplants to cardiac rehab. With more than 30 locations throughout Galveston and the Bay Area, we’re also close by, which makes visiting easy and appointments convenient.

T

he lifespan of a supermodel tends to be brief. The slightest droop, the faintest crinkle, can consign the most luminous beauty to obscurity. Heidi Klum offers a glimmer of hope. Now 41, she got her start at the age of 18 after winning a modeling contest in her native Germany. Klum’s 13 years as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, along with many appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, made her one of the world’s most, um, visible models. They called her The Body.

With age, even the most super of supermodels can expect a career decline—but for Klum, this didn’t happen. As she entered her 30s, she branched out, co-founding the wildly popular television show “Project Runway” and going on to dabble in acting, singing, writing and painting. She has lent her name to fragrances and jewelry, and has designed a line of clothing for Babies “R” Us, along with an active wear collection for New Balance.

It’s her TV career, though, that has kept Klum in the spotlight.

Now hosting the 13th season of “Project Runway”—for which she won an Emmy last year—Klum is also on her second stint as “Amer eric i a’s Got Go Talent.”

HEMISPHERES: I understand you’re shooting “Project Runway” today.

How’s that going?

KLUM: Good. The designers are creating a dress for me this year and that’s a little nerve-racking because, um, you know, I’m going to have to wear one. Some of them were good, but some were pretty frightening.

HEMISPHERES: People want to get noticed, and I suppose that can go either way.

KLUM: Yeah, or maybe they haven’t read enough magazines. I don’t know.

There were a lot of “mothers of the bride” walking down that runway.

HEMISPHERES: “America’s Got Talent” is airing too. You’ve created a niche for yourself as an arbiter of talent.

the hemi q&a

HEMISPHERES: I think where the judges on these shows make mistakes is with novelty acts. You know, somebody will come out with five watering cans full of flaming oil and juggle them while singing “God Save the Queen.” It’s easy to get caught up in the moment, but that’s not show business, is it? That’s just somebody doing something weird.

KLUM: We had this guy on who had five tarantulas. He put them on his face and everyone ran away. Howard Stern ran away, Mel B ran away, Howie Mandel ran away. They were saying, “That was amazing! Oh my gosh!” and I’m like, “Really? Give me those goggles and I’ll put five spiders on my head.” That’s not a million-dollar act.

HEMISPHERES: You have a reputation for being a nice person. Isn’t that a flaw when it comes to being a judge on these kinds of shows? Don’t you need to have a ruthless streak?

KLUM: Well, I do have to say “no” a lot of the time, but you can say it in a nice way. I don’t think there’s a reason for being nasty to people and making them cry and run off the stage.

HEMISPHERES: There is an element of the Roman arena to these shows, though. I hate to say it, but part of the fun is seeing people run off in tears.

KLUM: Yes, but you don’t have to be mean about it. And I don’t want people to stop what they’re doing if it’s a hobby, or they love to perform in front of their family, or at certain functions in the small town where they’re from.

Maybe they’re really great there, but not for a big, fantastic show in Vegas.

HEMISPHERES: How about when somebody comes on and says, “I’m doing this for my goldfish, who has kidney disease”? How do you say no to that?

KLUM: We had one guy, he was in the Army and he’s a super shy guy and he came onto the stage and said that when he was at war he would sing to the other soldiers, because they don’t have a lot of entertainment out there.

You do hear stories, these very real, emotional and sad stories. But you have to be fair. You have to separate the personal stories from the act.

HEMISPHERES: You actually got your start due to a talent show, right?

KLUM: Yes. I won a contest in ’92, a modeling contest. I cut out a coupon and I entered and I was on TV and Germany voted for me. That’s how I got started.

HEMISPHERES: Did this come as a shock to you, or were you such a gorgeous kid that it seemed inevitable?

KLUM: No, it came as a full-on shock to me—my parents, too. The first few times when I had to go and do the show, they didn’t even come with me.

There were so many beautiful girls.

HEMISPHERES: It must have been a big change of pace when you came to New York. Here you are growing up in a provincial German town and suddenly you’re caught up in this swirl of money and glamour and intrigue.

It’s a wonder you didn’t get sucked in, chewed up and spat back out again.

KLUM: I think I had a pretty good head on my shoulders from the very beginning. I never got into the party scene. I wanted to go to bed early. For me, it was work.

HEMISPHERES: You’re making it sound boring. You’re spoiling the modeling industry for me.

KLUM: But that’s a part of it. You’re doing your taxes, keeping all of your receipts, dealing with the business side. Even the travel—you go somewhere for two days, then go to the next place, then go to the next place, then go to the next place, and you do that mostly by yourself, because models don’t travel in a herd. Most of the time you’re on your own.

HEMISPHERES: You have worked hard, and you’ve had obstacles to overcome— people saying things like, “Your look’s a little too wholesome” or “Your boobs are a little too big.”

KLUM: Of course. But you can’t get every job you go for, and when you learn how to live with that it makes you stronger. Some people will like you and some won’t. That’s just how it is. It’s not always a yes—there are a lot of nos, and learning how to deal with them, that’s part of life and part of growing up.

HEMISPHERES: Speaking of which, you have four children of your own now. That must provide a welcome relief from the high-octane, competitive world of show business.

KLUM: Yes. As soon as I come home I kick my heels off, remove my false eyelashes and real life begins—they’re jumping on top of me: “Let’s do this!

Let’s feed the dog! Let’s run around in the garden!”

HEMISPHERES: Did your kids influence your Truly Scrumptious clothing line for Babies “R” Us? KLUM: Yes. I know that kids love color, sparkles, ruffles. It’s very different from designing for adults, who want edgy and cool and whatnot. Kids just want to have fun.

HEMISPHERES: You also have a line of sportswear for women—which is at the other end of the spectrum: from the least self-conscious members of society to the most self-conscious.

KLUM: I like to have fun with that, too, though. When New Balance hired me to do this, they weren’t hiring me to make another pair of black leggings. My things are quite loud.

HEMISPHERES: I wanted to end by pointing out that you are probably the only woman in history who’s had a variety of rose and a type of bra named after her.

KLUM: And a stamp!

HEMISPHERES: For me, details like that seem to be at least as important as money or fame.

KLUM: Absolutely. But I’m proud of all the things I’ve done. I can remember running around New York—going to all these studios, showing my book to photographers— for months and months and months.

So it’s nice to walk down the street and see yourself on a magazine cover.

Even today, after 20 years, I still get a thrill.

T’S FRIDAY EVENING at the 21st annual African Film

Festival, and photographers are taking their spots along the red carpet inside Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The festival, held earlier this year, is a showcase for more than 40 new feature films from across Africa. But much—really, nearly all—of the buzz has been building for one particular screening: the New York premiere of Half of a Yellow Sun, a lyrical movie from Nigeria set 40 years ago, during that country’s sectarian civil war—a true epic.

The actors begin to pose and give television interviews at the head of the red carpet. “African film isn’t offering very good opportunities for actors globally, but I see it now changing,” says a Paris-based actor to a TV reporter, in reference to Half of a Yellow Sun as some sort of harbinger. Just then, one of the festival’s organizers jogs over to an executive producer of the film with good news: The scheduled screening has sold out, a second showing has been immediately added, and that, too, is selling out fast. The producer, an investment banker from Lagos named Yewande Sadiku, lets loose an exuberant fist-pump.

Indeed, Sadiku, one of the film’s financial backers, has a lot at stake: Half of a Yellow Sun, an adaptation of Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s celebrated 2006 novel of the same name, is by far Nigeria’s costliest film production to date (approximately $10 million). The movie took months to film and edit, instead of the 10 days to two weeks typical for a Nigerian production, and features Hollywood stalwarts like Anika Noni Rose and Thandie Newton, as well as Chiwetel Ejiofor, who received a Best Actor Oscar nomination earlier this year for 12 Years a Slave. With its big budget and pedigreed cast and crew, Half of a Yellow Sun signals nothing less than the Nigerian film industry’s ambition to transcend the African market—and to transcend the perception of “Nollywood” as an assembly line churning out low-budget, straight-to-video fare.

“Our business model was not by any means vintage Nollywood,” says Biyi Bandele, the director and screenwriter of Half of a Yellow Sun, citing the funding the film received from more than a dozen Nigerian financiers outside the traditional Nollywood system, as well as from overseas film organizations. “Most Nollywood films are put together by a ‘marketeer,’ who tends to be one individual who puts up the money and sometimes even directs it and sells the DVDs to the public.”

Rose, who starred alongside Beyoncé Knowles and Jamie Foxx in the Academy Award–winning film Dreamgirls, says she was thrilled to have her name attached to Half of a Yellow Sun. “I’m hoping this is their wave and their time,” she tells me from the red carpet. “Shooting this film, it was a beautiful thing to see these young people get a taste of something bigger, and I can’t wait to see how it sticks to them.”

By most measures, Nollywood is already an astonishing success story, estimated to directly and indirectly employ more than 1 million Nigerians. Second only to India’s Bollywood in number of films made (more than 1,000 per year), the industry reliably brings in about $250 million a year, mostly in DVD sales and distribution rights sold to pan-African satellite television channels. The films are incredibly popular from Sudan to South Africa, as well as in overseas markets like the Caribbean.

But one marker of success has remained elusive for Nollywood: recognition in the international film community as a hotbed of quality cinema.

WHEN I VISITED LAGOS earlier this year to see the Nollywood

film industry up close, I was taken aback by how visible it is on the street. On any given weekday you can see directors scouting locations in isolated parking lots throughout the Mainland District of the city, or an actual film shoot on one of Lagos’ many twisty side streets. In a neighborhood called Computer Village, for example, I happened across a shoot for an action movie: They were hand-shooting with digital camcorders and using weak fluorescent contraptions to augment the outdoor lighting.

The low-tech, guerrilla nature of the shoot was what one might expect of Nollywood, but it was nothing short of professional. The wardrobe and makeup people deftly disappeared into the background as the director shouted “Action,” after which the actors moved gracefully with the script. “Very good,” said the frenetic, 20-something director at the end of a scene, “but let’s go once more to make sure we’ve got everyone expressing themselves just right.”

Later that day, I met with Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, perhaps Nollywood’s most popular and prolific actor. She also has a music career sideline and a very popular reality show, and in the past year she has become a player in the nascent development of high-end entertainment complexes offering movie theaters, gaming centers and shopping. “I can’t just be an actor,” she told me as we sat in her office, which is in a trailer-like building in the Mainland District. “There is a responsibility from the Nollywood community to make a broader contribution to Nigeria’s development.”

Movie theaters, which had all but disappeared from Nigeria’s major cities during the 1990s because of competition from DVDs, have begun to reopen in air-conditioned malls, showcasing both Hollywood movies and homegrown films. In the last few years, theaters have been inculcating an emerging “cinema culture” that has helped seed demand for domestic films like Half of a Yellow Sun. They have become so novel that many mall cineplexes employ a full-time photographer to take photos of patrons so they can memorialize the excursion.

Ekeinde’s career has paralleled Nollywood’s ascent. At 36 years old, with more than 300 film credits to her name,

“This film’s [massive] production budget redefines what Nollywood can be.”

she’s one of the most recognizable faces in Nigeria (and beyond: She was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world for 2013). But when Ekeinde began her acting career in 1995, “Nollywood was not something parents wanted their children to join,” she told me, referring to the industry’s historical reputation for trafficking in seedy themes, trivial and escapist tropes, and canned soap operas. “Back then we acted for the love of it.”

In Ekeinde’s telling, the quality of Nigerian film really started to take off during the 2000s, and then, in 2010, “a game-changer was a film I was in called Ijé.” A cautionary tale about chasing the “American Dream,” the film tells the story of a Nigerian woman who endeavors to save her sister from a murder conviction in the United States. A far cry from Nollywood’s usual scope, Ijé set a new dramatic tone for the industry and began a trend of moviegoers seeking out certain actors and directors known for creating higher-quality films. “We came to the realization, quite frankly, that we were pushing the envelope, and we can’t stop now.”

Tunde Kelani, the celebrated Nigerian auteur who has been involved in films about Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage for more than 40 years, sees Half of a Yellow Sun not as the first serious movie to come out of the African nation, but as merely the first one with mass appeal. “While the film’s production budget redefines what Nollywood can be, Nollywood has always had a future as a cinema of diversity,” he told me while editing his latest film, a drama called (in English) Dazzling Mirage, which centers on characters coming to terms with sickle cell anemia.

Nevertheless, Kelani welcomes the success of Half of a Yellow Sun, seeing it as a clarion call for “an ascendancy of Nollywood film” based on Nigerian historical narrative and native dramatic themes. As Kelani spoke to me in his office in one of the Mainland District’s unassuming neighborhoods of one-story homes and small businesses, several assistants, including an American Ph.D. student, worked on a tablet app for viewing his films. “There are 19 million Nigerians with smartphones, and we should produce film for them,” he said when noticing my attention to the computer work, and then mentioned that Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google, had recently swung by his office to talk technology.

Kelani is in some ways the director whose work prefigured Half of a Yellow Sun. Although his films have been less commercially ambitious, he has insisted on working with Nigerian STAR POWER Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton in a scene from the Nollywood production Half of a Yellow Sun

66

R1_p062-066_FT_Nollywood_v2.indd 66

themes, and he shoots only in Nigeria. “I’ve thought that too many celebrated African filmmakers abroad do not feel the pulse of the culture. African audiences have been alienated by them.” Kelani, with very few exceptions, refuses to make movies in English, or to shoot his films at a Nollywood pace, or to bend his film subjects to trends captivating directors outside Nigeria.

He studied film in the 1970s at the London International Film School (now called the London Film School), then a hothouse of subversive film theory, and draws his influences from Nigerian writers like Wole Soyinka and the Yoruba village theater from his youth. Kelani’s filmmaking career has been in many ways a harsh critique of the shoddy production values and shallow plots of Nollywood, but he likes the way the industry’s arc is bending with the hype around Half of a Yellow Sun. “Now that Nollywood is more than a subculture, and no longer just low-quality, cheaply made films,” he said, “the interesting task is to define what Nollywood is. Having found our success at home, having found a place for our own classically trained theater, it’s time for Nigerians to produce global cinema.”

Ekeinde agrees with Kelani that Half of a Yellow Sun should underscore not only what the country’s movie industry is capable of exporting but also what Nollywood should create for its increasingly sophisticated domestic audiences. She wants Nigerian filmmakers to be more confident about the appetites of Nigerian audiences. “Nigeria suffers from a kind of Third World syndrome that makes us crave acceptance from others, and that’s a big problem for our development.

We have to recognize that we have the talent in a new generation. In music and fine art and a lot of other areas, Nigeria is experiencing a kind of general cultural momentum. I think Nollywood should get a lot of the credit.”

JERE RAE-MANSFIELD, a managing partner at Monterey

Films, the American distributor of Half of a Yellow Sun, agrees that Nollywood is at an exciting juncture and is poised to enter the global cinematic conversation. “Nigerian directors are at the point where they can touch international audiences in really profound ways,” she told me at the New York premiere.

In addition to Half of a Yellow Sun, the African Film Festival features movies from all across the continent, ranging from hard-hitting political documentaries to piquant animation features to character-driven dramas. Many of the producers on hand speak about championing an individual director or wanting to encourage attention to a particular social issue or cause. Among the Nigerian films, however, there seems to be an awakening of a larger storyline: how Nigeria has navigated its 20th-century national traumas to arrive at an uncertain but more confident present. It’s a theme likely to be revisited again and again as Nollywood steps up to a new level of filmmaking.

Meanwhile, as the cast of Half of a Yellow Sun walks the red carpet, an American TV reporter grabs the arm of one of the actors. “What’s your next Nollywood film?” she asks. “The rest of the world is waiting to see it.”

For his next career, freelance writer ILAN GREENBERG would like to become a Nigerian filmmaker.

M

ONEYED, modern and relentlessly chic, Milan can seem a little un-Italian to the first-time visitor. Large swaths of the city were rebuilt after World War II, so it lacks the sheer concentration of historical landmarks found in other Italian destinations. As a local saying has it: “Rome is a voluptuous woman whose gifts are very apparent, while Milan is the shy, demure girl whose treasures are plentiful but discovered in time.”

“Shy” might be pushing it, but Milan’s businesslike facade does mask a rich past.

Founded in 400 B.C., this former capital of the Western Roman Empire has been reshaped by a procession of rulers, from the Viscontis, beginning in the 13th century, to Mussolini in the 20th—influences marked by the Gothic spires of the Duomo and the blunt Rationalism of the Triennale. You’ll find many beautiful architectural landmarks as you make your way around Milan—if you can drag your eyes away from the beautiful people.

Mostly, of course, Milan is celebrated for its style—its fashion weeks showcasing storied labels like Armani and Prada, and the Salone del Mobile furniture fair. As one of the “big four” fashion capitals, Milan boasts unrivaled luxury shopping in plush enclaves like the Quadrilatero della Moda. It’s not surprising, then, that this multifaceted city is set to host the 2015 Universal Exposition: technology, culture, creativity and tradition are subjects Milan knows well.

You lock your bike at the foot of Torre Branca, the 350-foot steel-tube viewing tower designed by architect Gio Ponti for the 1933 Triennale. “You know Santa Maria delle Grazie, where they keep ‘The Last Supper’?” says the elevator operator on the way up. “My local church.”

At the Triennale museum next door, there’s more ingenious Italian design on display, including the Olivetti typewriter and the Bialetti stovetop espresso pot. You pay homage to the latter with a coffee overlooking the sculpture garden.

Giorgio de Chirico’s hypnotic “waterparquet” installation leaves you a little woozy, so you decide to move on to a more utilitarian form of design.

DAY ONE | For centuries, the Virgin Mary atop the Duomo dominated Milan’s skyline, but from your suite at Palazzo Parigi, you look out on a new kind of iconography: the high-concept skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova business district. Your hotel goes a more traditional route. Situated in a 17th-century palace, it was transformed over the last five years into an imperial property strewn with antique statuary, elaborate chandeliers and acres of Carrara marble.

Breakfast arrives on wheels. You pick at slivers of exotic fruit and a delicate omelet on your private terrace, and then prepare yourself for a crash course in Milanese design. You’ve opted to get around today on the back of a slick Garibaldi 71, rented from storied bicycle maker Rossignoli. At the company’s Brera store, fifth-generation scion Matia Bonato uses a 20-foot pole to pluck the bike from a lofty ceiling rack. “It’s not about strength,” he says, “but technique.”

From here, you judder over cobblestones to Parco Sempione , where you pause to take in the sprawling

honoring the inventor of the swooping 1960s “Arco” floor lamp, is less museum than time capsule—its tractor-seat stools, arch-lever files and quirky cutlery left untouched since the designer died in 2002. “I had a terrible childhood,” says the designer’s daughter, Giovanna, your tour guide. “Because my father loved everyday objects, he always stole my toys.” She pulls out a VLM light switch, Castiglioni’s ubiquitous design. “He’d carry it around in his pocket. You’d always know where he was by the clicking.”

You trade your bike for the metro and emerge in Zona Tortona, a former industrial district that’s reinvented itself as a design mecca, home to Armani’s head offices and the famous furniture fair. You navigate its narrow, graffitied streets in search of Da Noi In, which is known for its inspired seafood dishes.

In a stunning outdoor courtyard, you sample a platter of house-smoked swordfish, tuna and salmon, served with Ligurian olives, followed by aromatic potato gnocchi in a bright basil cream.

A postprandial stroll through bohemian Navigli, with its network of canals—the highway system of medieval Milan—makes room for dessert: an apricot gelato from the artisanal chain Grom. From here, you veer north to slow food mall Eataly, where you join shoppers browsing three floors of giant hams, vats of olive oil and chocolate waterfalls, or mainlining piadine flatbread in the eateries along its perimeter. You nurse a prosecco, serenaded by a trio of electric

guitarists with gray Afros and a liberal approach to the question of tone.

Next, you stroll down the pedestrian shopping strip Corso Como, emerging into Piazza Gae Aulenti, Porta Nuova’s central plaza, which—a plaque informs you—is meant to serve as a contemporary Roman forum. Eyeing the undulating UniCredit Tower, a young man in front of you cries: “I feel nothing!”

Judging by the square’s many pop-up bars, and the happy chatterers therein, he’s in the minority.

An endless elevated walkway deposits you at Ristorante Berton, Friuli-born chef Andrea Berton’s sleek testament to restraint. Surrounded by men in thick-rimmed glasses (a Fashion Week hangover), you polish off six first-rate courses, including a dish of baby scallops and licorice that resembles a Yayoi Kusama dot painting. And that, you decide, is enough conceptual flair for one day. You head back to your hotel and the soothing strains of classical piano drifting through the lobby.

DAY TWO | Milan’s status as a design

capital doesn’t just rest on skyscrapers and showrooms; its historic monuments were just as innovative in their day. This classical spirit drives you to the iconic Pasticceria Marchesi, which has been serving up pastries since 1824. Following tradition, you settle up first, then wait as an angelic white-haired lady hands you cannoncini—cream-filled puff pastry horns. At the café’s tiny bar, women with la Rinascente shopping bags drown out the clink of porcelain, nibbling their confections with a restraint you can’t muster.

Sugar level high, you speed-shuffle down Corso Magenta to Santa Maria delle Grazie, home to “The Last Supper,” or “Il Cenacolo”—Leonardo da Vinci’s depiction of Christ breaking bread and brokering betrayal. Your guide, Alice, who runs Viator’s art tour, steers you

through the Dominican convent’s hidden cloister. You spot a monk in flowing white robes studying a Bible. “They always tell me I should talk less and pray more,” says Alice in a respectful whisper.

Hushed reverence seems the apt response as you stand before the painting.

Unlike the fresco opposite, Leonardo’s work was applied directly onto dry wall, which is the reason for its fragility (and your 15-minute viewing slot), but also for its celebrated vividness. You note how light from the refectory windows suffuses the painting’s edge, seeming to expand the room’s dimensions. Alice nods and says, “It’s the Renaissance doing 3-D.” Art and religion also intersect at San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, whose low-key exterior belies the splendor inside: a seamless patchwork of luminous 16th-century devotional paintings. Next, you make your way to the dazzling Santa Maria presso San Satiro, off Via Torino, whose sole devotee is a businessman, head bowed, a briefcase at his feet. Your final stop on the tour is San Giovanni in

Conca, Milan’s last remaining Romanesque crypt, surreally hidden beneath the traffic-clogged Piazza Missori.

La Latteria, on Via San Marco, is equally overlooked by guidebooks.

Old milk stores of its kind are dying out, but the blue-tiled, eight-table joint—covered in pictures of flowers— overflows. “Congratulations,” booms a regular as you take your seat. “You’ve found Milan’s last authentic restaurant!”

You try the signature Crudaiola All Arturo Con Burgul, an assortment of market-fresh vegetables with glugs of olive oil and bulgur wheat, and follow it up with ice cream and stewed apples.

Given the no-reservations policy, newcomers rush your table as you exit.

As you approach the second hotel of your stay, the Bulgari, you are overtaken by brash supercars racing up its private lane. Beyond the hotel gates, though, you find verdant grounds adjoining the city’s Orto Botanico and interiors of oak, bronze and matte black marble.

Bulgari’s first foray into the hotel field is a surprisingly calming space—not least its plush basement spa, where you enjoy an hour-long massage before dipping into the golden, mosaic-lined pool.

Italians are known for their ability to take it easy, and there’s no better example of this impulse than the Duomo. The cathedral, characterized by a mish-mash of styles and influences, took nearly six centuries to complete (locals call it their “never-ending story”). On the roof, amid a forest of spires, you are treated to a view of Milan’s equally eclectic skyline, dominated by the Modernist monolith the Pirelli Tower and the bulging, buttressed Torre Velasca, famous for taking Brutalist architecture to new heights.

You see pigeons dive-bombing shoppers as you enter the crucifix-shaped Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which opened in 1867 and is said to be the world’s oldest mall. Campari was

SIBLING RIVALRY ANIMATES MILAN’S TOP SOCCER CLUBS

The power tussles between Milan’s fashion houses pale in comparison to those of its two Serie A soccer teams—A.C. Milan and F.C. Internazionale Milano, aka Inter—which share a home in the massive San Siro stadium. The bitter rivalry dates back to 1908, when a single Milanese club had an acrimonious split. The enmity extends to politics: Traditionally Inter has appealed to the city’s affluent classes, while A.C. Milan is popular with blue-collar residents. And, while the lines between the teams blurred after media tycoon and former PM Silvio Berlusconi bought A.C. Milan in 1986, there’s little in the way of fraternity between the two sets of fans.

“That’s where they all go.”

You enter Gianluca Saitto’s Brera boutique to a flurry of baci. “He’s the new Armani,” whispers Melanie as you explore an array of medieval-style tunics and rock ’n’ roll jackets. Roberto Musso’s hand-painted Como-silk dresses and Massimo Izzo’s baroque aquatic jewelry are just as exclusive. Izzo, a brooding Sicilian, fits a weighty, double-finger seahorse ring onto your hand, and it feels like long-lost treasure dredged from the ocean floor.

Federico Sangalli’s Piazza San Babila atelier transports you to the age of haute couture. Here, rows of elderly seamstresses work on pedal-operated machines, using 1950s techniques to create handcrafted clothing for Milanese society ladies. “When I took over

TWO TOP HOSPITALS. ONE GREAT CITY.

U.S. News & World Report recently recognized six Partners HealthCare hospitals as being among the very best: Mass General (ranked #2 in the nation), Brigham and Women’s (ranked #9 in the nation), McLean (ranked #4 in the nation in psychiatry), Spaulding Rehab (ranked #6 in the nation in rehabilitation), and regionally recognized Newton-Wellesley Hospital and North Shore Medical Center.

It’s an accomplishment resulting from an unyielding commitment to exceptional care throughout the Partners HealthCare System — from our hospitals and community health centers to the dedicated individuals who provide care to our patients and their families. As the only city in the nation to have two hospitals in the Top 10, it’s a distinction we can all be proud of as Bostonians.

THE INNOVATORS The cu ing-edge technologies that are pu ing Massachuse s on the map MASSACHUSETTS GREEN HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTER CENTER The MGHPCC is a data center in Holyoke, borne out of a collaboration between Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Boston University and the University of Massachuse s.

Completed in 2012, the center is the first of its kind in the country and is dedicated to supporting the growing computing needs of the state’s research-intensive institutions.

“Computing has become the third leg of research, a er theory and experiments. A data center like this can house these systems in a way that’s less expensive and more reliable,” says executive director John Goodhue. Existing projects already include everything from observing the Higgs Boson to improving the detection of genetic mutations that cause cancer.

“The thing that excites me the most is what you can’t see, and that’s what’s going on in the labs and offices of the people using these machines,” says Goodhue. “The stuff that’s happening here becomes the stuff of Nobel Prizes, medical breakthroughs and discoveries that lead to the next generation of companies in the state.”

RAYTHEON COMPANY Raytheon ranks among the largest global defense contractors, with a core manufacturing expertise in electronics. This prowess is built upon a commitment to developing new technologies, such as gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors.

“With GaN, we can increase the sensitivity and reduce the size of a semiconductor’s antenna, enabling it to detect and track objects at much further distances,” says Raytheon CIO Rebecca Rhoads. “As we strive to create a pipeline of technologies to fuel business growth for years to come, we look at GaN as the biggest winner we’ve developed so far.”

Innovation has been crucial to the company’s growth since it was founded in 1922. Its breakthrough invention was an electron tube that transformed the radio into an accessible device for the home, while Raytheon employees developed the first microwave during the Second World War. “We have a proven strategy and strong culture—and we’re delivering solid performance based on an affordable and innovative portfolio of technologies that are in high demand,” says Rhoads.

PARTNERS HEALTHCARE Boston is the only city to have two hospitals ranked in the top 10 nationwide by U.S. News & World Report: Massachuse s General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Both are managed by Partners HealthCare System, an integrated health network founded in 1994 that ranks as the state’s largest private employer, responsible for close to 64,000 jobs.

The two larger institutions are affiliates of Harvard Medical School, with teaching and research both crucial to the Partners mission. It has an annual research budget of close to $1.5 billion, which not only goes towards the discovery of new treatments and cures, but also the implementation of innovative care delivery models.

However, Partners’ reach extends far beyond Massachuse s. “We helped found Partners In Health, which is transforming healthcare delivery among the world’s poorest populations,” says president and CEO Gary Go lieb. “We believe healthcare is a proxy for social justice, and these organizations have lived that over the last quarter of a century.”

SINCE 2005, RAYTHEON HAS INVESTED MORE THAN $100M IN FURTHERING STEM EDUCATION THROUGH ITS MATHMOVESU INITIATIVE. THE MGHPCC HAS A POWER CAPACITY OF 10MW AVAILABLE FOR COMPUTING—ENOUGH TO POWER 5,000 TO 10,000 HOMES.

MAKING WAVES IN THE BAY STATE For centuries, Massachuse s has been a prolific spawning ground for industries and companies—many of which have become recognized all across the world

BY DANIEL WELLBELOVE It may be the seventh-smallest state, but Massachuse s punches above its weight with an influence across education, business and technology that extends not just domestically but on a global scale.

“We’re in a special place compared to many of the other 50 states because of our colleges and universities. They mean that Massachuse s is well known and highly regarded all around the world,” says Greg Bialecki, secretary of housing and economic development. “This opens the door for us to tell the story of the many fascinating innovation companies we have here.”

These companies span a range of industries, from cu ing-edge discoveries in the life sciences to expertise in financial services. They are supported by more R&D funding per capita than any other Leading Technology State and the highest level of venture capital investment as a percentage of GDP of anywhere in the U.S. “We’re not a one-horse town from an economic standpoint. The fact that we can grow our own companies to seed the future is really important,” says Susan Houston, executive director of MassEcon, the state’s private sector partner in promoting Massachuse s to the business community.

“Our workforce is highly educated and diverse in terms of occupational skills. Our academic institutions are a major draw in not only retaining talent but in incubating companies. Plus European companies find it

congenial to be here because we offer the shortest route to Europe.”

The state’s leadership even extends into niche industries. In 1984, Jim Koch founded the Boston Beer Company in his kitchen, paving the way for a cra beer movement that now includes thousands of small breweries across the country.

“We helped create this wave of cra beer in America, and now the rest of the world.

In the U.S., there are approximately three new breweries starting every business day,” says Koch, whose company now produces close to 2 million barrels of Samuel Adams beer each year.

Similarly, Massachuse s’ expertise in shoemaking has been recognized as far back as the 1800s. It remains strong today, thanks to the efforts of companies such as New Balance, which operates five manufacturing facilities in the Northeast and is building a new headquarters in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood.

“We need more space. We’ve grown at 14% per year for the last five years and are now bursting at the seams. This will allow us to continue to grow, and continue to innovate,” says CEO Rob DeMartini.

“We’ve been creating new businesses for a long time now, whether that was in whale oil or textile manufacture, or computers and biotechnology,” says Bialecki. “Our focus has been on planning ahead and an economic strategy that’s based on continuing innovation. We’re constantly refreshing our mix of industries with emerging sectors that play to our strengths.”

Academia Nowhere else in the world will you find a concentration of academic institutions of such quality and prestige as you do in

Boston, Cambridge and across the whole of Massachuse s. Combined, they commi ed $3.03bn to science and engineering R&D in 2012.

“We live in an era when knowledge is growing in importance in addressing the world’s most pressing problems, and traditional intellectual fields are shi ing and converging,” says Drew Faust, president of Harvard. “I see unprecedented opportunities in these developments for our teaching, our research and our global reach.”

Harvard scholars conduct research in an exhaustive range of fields. “This past year, our scientists worked to prove that tissue containing a specific genetic disorder can be replicated in the laboratory, discovered that a medication for epilepsy might be a meaningful treatment for Lou Gehrig’s disease, and found compelling evidence for the Big Bang,” says Faust.

Close by, the Massachuse s Institute of Technology was founded in 1864 to provide an independent educational institution that was relevant to an increasingly industrialized America, and this focus has continued through to today.

“Our mission is to advance knowledge and educate students in science and technology,” says MIT provost Martin Schmidt. “Going forward, I see us driving radical innovation, pushing hard on areas in health and the environment, and continuing the important work of basic scientific research.” To this end, the university is building MIT.nano, a 200,000-square-foot facility for nanoscale research, which has the potential to revolutionize industries as diverse as energy, quantum sciences and manufacturing.

Meanwhile, Northeastern University encourages its students to integrate classroom knowledge with experience in

the wider world through what it calls cooperative education. “We feel this is a superior form of learning, as students can see the relevance of what they’re learning and use it,” says provost Stephen Director.

The research focus is typically use-inspired and addresses real world problems. “We’re experientially based through everything we do,” says Director. “Health, security and sustainability are major efforts here. These are interdisciplinary areas and require staff from different faculties to work together.”

Another important factor in research is the quality of your staff, and it is here that Boston University holds a significant edge. It boasts a highly integrated campus in the city itself, and so enjoys close links to a innovation hub that is vital in a racting sector experts to its faculties. The last few decades have seen its research capabilities come on enormously.

“Last year we were admi ed to the Association of American Universities, making us the first private university to do so since 1995,” says president Robert Brown.

“This shows how we have emerged as a research university in the last 20 years.”

The state’s largest institution is the University of Massachuse s, which counts 72,000 students across its five campuses and 60,000 via the UMass Online distancelearning program. As such, it puts plenty of well-qualified individuals into the workforce every year, but just as important is research.

It commits $600m to R&D per year, while it has established the UMass Innovation Institute to advance its proprietary research.

“Education is the foundation of a strong democracy,” says UMass president Robert Caret. “Much of what occurred during the founding of this country happened here in Massachuse s and education has remained a strong cornerstone as a result.”

Technology As the world’s largest technology media company, it’s essential that International Data Group is located where the industry is thriving. That’s why, although it operates in 97 countries, the company continues to call Massachuse s home. “Boston is such a great incubator of technology talent and

innovation that we’re going to stay in the area for years to come,” says Michael Friedenberg, CEO of IDG Communications.

Much of IDG’s focus is now devoted to its global digital business, which is growing at 8-10% on an annual basis. “We’re transforming from a media company to a media, data and services company,” says Friedenberg. “Providing advertisers and readers with a personalized and contextualbased experience is going to be the key to the future of any media organization.”

The largest private employer in the state’s technology sector is EMC, which counts

“BOSTON IS SUCH A GREAT INCUBATOR OF TECHNOLOGY TALENT AND INNOVATION” —MICHAEL FRIEDENBERG, IDG 9,300 Massachuse s-based employees among its 63,000-strong global workforce.

With global revenues of $23.2 billion in 2013, it stands at the forefront of many of the most significant developments in the IT industry, including big data, cloud computing and the transition to an IT-as-a-service model.

Key to its success has been a combination of extensive research activity and a successful acquisition record. EMC has invested $11.5 billion in R&D and $9.3 billion in M&A since 2009. “We’re

outspending our competition quite significantly and that’s why we have the number-one market share in all these different segments,” says David Goulden, CEO of EMC Information Infrastructure.

Another of the state’s most innovative IT companies is LogMeIn, which was one of the early pioneers of the ‘freemium’ business model. “What we’ve done is take things that were premium-type activities and reduced them down into more accessible, consumerpriced products,” says chairman and CEO Michael Simon. Recently, the company has been exploring the great potential offered by the Internet of Things—the idea being that as the marginal cost of interconnectivity trends to zero, it becomes possible for everyday objects to become internet-enabled. LogMeIn’s Xively application is designed to make the delivery of such products more efficient.

The state’s prowess extends far beyond computing however, with robotics another industry exhibiting rapid growth. “Robots can do two things that other technologies cannot,” says Colin Angle, co-founder and CEO of Bedford-based iRobot. “One is move around the room. The other is physically interact with its environment.”

The company has built upon these advantages to deliver a series of robots for defense and the home, and has developed a mobile robotics platform that provides a telepresence with complete freedom of movement, for which it foresees applications in business and healthcare. “The biggest need for robots in the future has to do with the aging population,” says Angle. “You need to have your home cleaned and doctors have to be able to visit you cost-effectively. In all these cases, robots can offer a solution.”

Nevertheless, even beyond the high-tech sector, technology has a role in any modern business and unlocking this potential is just one of the services offered by Boston Consulting Group, one of the world’s Big Three management consulting firms with 81 offices in 45 countries.

BCG does this in three ways: by helping its clients interpret and build the capability to analyze big data; through a technology advantage practise in which IT professionals

work with clients to improve their technology strategy; and a digital ventures business that advises clients on how to commercialize any digital opportunities.

“BCG’s approach is to help our clients at the interception of what’s the overall business direction and how technology can be translated into building an advantage,” says president and CEO Richard Lesser.

Financial services The founding of the Massachuse s Investor’s Trust heralded the arrival of the modern mutual fund in the U.S. in 1924. Since then, the Boston area has produced many of the sector’s largest players, including Putnam Investments, ranked as one of the top two mutual fund families by Barron’s/Lipper in three of the last five years.

“American mutual funds still represent the best way for Americans to invest. You get professional money management at a reasonable cost, and there’s transparency and liquidity,” says president and CEO Robert Reynolds, who introduced a commitment to technology upon his arrival in 2008.

Financial services consultants Kasina recently named Putnam the number-one social media firm in the industry. “People want to work with companies that not only do a good job for them today but in many years from now. It’s about demonstrating a culture of innovation.”

Mutual funds also represent an increasingly important business line for John Hancock. “We’ve traditionally been a life insurance company, but right now we’re fairly balanced between protection services and wealth. Our mutual fund complex is pre y much the fastest-growing on the market,” says Craig Bromley, president of John Hancock Financial Services.

Founded in 1862, John Hancock has long been one of the best-known insurance companies in the U.S. However, its international operations had been limited until its 2004 acquisition by Manulife, which opened up the Canadian and Asian markets.

“We’re now more diversified with a solid capital base. We’re selling asset management services from North America to Asia, and

importing technologies in areas where Asia is ahead,” says Bromley.

Another global asset management firm to call Boston home is Fidelity Investments, the nation’s largest 401(k) and IRA provider.

Founded as a small mutual fund provider nearly 70 years ago, it boasted assets under administration of $4.6 trillion at the end of 2013—a growth of 19% on the year.

Again technology is an important part of the business. “We’ve established our own research labs to invest in and test new ideas and tools that help us understand how our customers digest information and make decisions,” says Christa Carone, executive VP of communications and corporate affairs.

“For example, Fidelity chose to be the first in the financial services industry to develop apps for Google Glass and the Pebble Watch.”

Meanwhile, State Street, the second-oldest financial institution in the U.S., has adopted a forward-thinking approach to analytics.

“We are pioneers in using big data and private cloud technology to improve our clients’ ability to gain additional insights and value from their information,” says Jack Klinck, executive VP and global head of global strategy and new ventures. “Over the

years, we have transformed our business strategy and service model to remain nimble and relevant. Today, State Street is trusted with 12% of the world’s financial assets.”

While innovation can sometimes come from technology, it may also arise from adopting a different approach to an established industry. That was the case with Bain Capital, an alternative asset management firm founded in 1984 by partners from Bain & Company. They used this consulting background to pioneer the value-added approach to investment.

“This evolved organically using the theory that the ability to analyze companies will give you an advantage in making great investments,” says Stephen Pagliuca, a managing director of Bain Capital.

“Management consider us a fantastic resource. If they want to acquire a company or explore a new market, we have a network of people who can help them use an analytic approach to make good business decisions.”

Life sciences In 2008, Governor Patrick introduced the Massachuse s Life Sciences Act, a 10-year, $1 billion initiative to be administered by the

into the world-class facility required of a global business hub. Its annual economic impact is estimated at $8 billion, such is its importance in promoting the state both at home and abroad.

“Massport is one of the central engines of the Massachuse s economy because we support its four main pillars: the financial services, high-tech, medical and higher education industries. Plus we support the tourism industry,” says Thomas Glynn, CEO of the Massachuse s Port

Authority, which administers the state’s air and seaport facilities.

Equally ambitious plans are now underway to modernize the Port of Boston, the oldest continually active port in the Western Hemisphere.

In collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Massport is dredging the harbour from 40 feet to 47 feet to accommodate larger ships, which will double the number of containers that the port can handle.

Massachuse s Life Sciences Center through collaborative programs and incentives designed to accelerate the pace of innovation.

To date, the MLSC has commi ed $535 million in state funding and leveraged more than $1.5 billion in matching investment—to great success. “In the last six years, almost 50% of the jobs created in Massachuse s are directly or indirectly a ributable to the life sciences industry,” says Susan WindhamBannister, president and CEO of the MLSC. “It has become a hugely important pillar of the economy.”

Besides government support, much of Massachuse s’ strength in life sciences comes from the groundbreaking research performed at its universities and hospitals.

For example, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard teaching affiliate, ranks third among independent hospitals for National Institutes of Health funding,. At any given moment, more than 300 clinical trials are conducted here.

“We’re considered the leader in the healthcare IT space and consistently rate as one of the country’s most wired hospitals,” says president and CEO Kevin Tabb. “All patients have access to all of their medical notes online plus we’ve pioneered the use of Google Glass among our physicians.”

The first company to produce a proof-ofconcept demonstration for Google Glass within a medical context was Philips Healthcare, a division of the Dutch corporation Royal Philips with significant operations in Massachuse s. The company offers over 450 products and services in more than 100 countries, in fields such as patient monitoring solutions, imaging systems and ultrasound. The next step is the emergence of long-term strategic alliances with hospitals, such as the 15-year, $300 million agreement Philips signed with Georgia Regents Medical Center in June, 2013.

Medical technology is a particularly rich industry within the Massachuse s life sciences space, with close to 400 medical device companies located across the state.

Among these is Boston Scientific, which, over the last 30 years, has led many of the major

CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE One key investment that Boston is making is in the advancement of an already flourishing convention industry. It is home to two world-class conference centers—the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center and the John B. Hynes Veterans

Memorial Convention Center, both recipients of the International Association of Congress Centres’ gold standard— that have seen it ranked in the top 10 U.S. conference destinations since 2006. “We don’t feel that from a quality perspective we have any difficulty competing with those higher ranked than us, but our limiting factor is space,” says James Rooney, executive director

breakthroughs in less invasive medicine. It continues to add new technologies to its portfolio, including a minimally invasive treatment for patients with chronic asthma.

“We have a radio-frequency catheter that is placed in the airway and ablates smooth muscle. This has had a profound impact on patients that don’t respond to traditional medical therapies and promises to impact millions of asthma sufferers throughout the world,” says Michael Phalen, president of the company’s MedSurg division.

Biogen Idec is also tackling some of the world’s most challenging medical issues. The oldest freestanding biotechnology company in the country, its research has historically been focused on neurodegenerative diseases.

“Last year we introduced a drug called Tecfidera. Within a few months, it had become the leading prescribed oral medication for MS in the United States,” says CEO George Scangos. Three more drugs are planned for the near future, completing a transition from a company that had only two products to one with six. “The company is going through a period of increased growth and complexity. It’s a different company to what it was three or four years ago, and will be different still a few years in the future.”

Behind the scenes, much of the work carried out by the state’s largest

of the Massachuse s Convention Center Authority.

The organization has launched a ‘Top 5’ campaign to propel Boston up the standings, with infrastructure improvement vital to its success. A $1.1 billion expansion of the BCEC is currently in the la er stages of the approval process, and Rooney is hopeful of cu ing the ribbon by early 2019.

biopharmaceutical and medical device companies is facilitated by Parexel, a Waltham-based contract research organisation with 75 locations in 50 countries. Founded in 1982 as a regulatory consultancy, it helped develop 95% of the 200 top-selling biopharmaceuticals on the market and is unique in its ability to provide whole development programs.

“We’re pioneers in applying information technology to clinical research—so much so that we actually entered that as a separate business,” says co-founder and CEO Josef von Rickenbach. “Parexel Informatics generates systems that accelerate and bring more productivity to the conduct of clinical trials.”

Health science, particularly diagnostic possibilities, has also been identified as a key area of growth for Waters Corporation.

Headquartered in Milford, but with a presence in 27 countries, the company is a world leader in analytical technologies.

“This goes far beyond pharmaceuticals. It’s about being able to get a be er handle on what’s happening as a result of either your genes or your lifestyle and how they’re potentially going to impact your disease state several years later,” says Rohit Khanna, VP of worldwide marketing. “From a global perspective, this is our biggest opportunity over the next 20 years.”

A HEMISPHERES SUPPLEMENT: PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

MAKE WORK, WORK FOR YOU A look at how the growing market for professional education can improve the workplace WORDS BY RACHAEL MOON

To be current, decisive and productive: it’s what every company expects from their employees and what every successful employee strives to be. The need for this business acumen is driving the professional education industry to develop its courses to their most convenient and effective. Programs are now as varied as the industries that benefit from them and range from degree-based MBA’s to non-degree certificates, delivered on campus or online, over the course of days or years.

Regardless of delivery, they all focus on preparing professionals for the workplace and guarantee a strong investment in any career trajectory.

Networking opportunities As Dean Joan Gabel, from the Robert J Trulaske College of Business, explains: “There is a lot of change on the horizon in business school

SAS_Education//BusinessS.indd 103

“ I R E A L LY L O V E T HI S JO B B E C A U S E YOU WORK IN THE COMPANY OF VERY S M A R T PE O PL E – VE RY IN VIG OR AT IN G COMPANY AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE” education. In addition to the research we do, we’re striving to prepare students, not just for that first job, but that job 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years from now.” The Missouri-based executive program combines online resources with 8 intensive weekends throughout the year and builds a very strong network of alumni who on average have between 10 and 15 years of work experience each.

Dean Gabel relishes the networking opportunities, “I really love this job because you work in the company of very smart people – very invigorating company as you might imagine”.

Collaboration is just one advantage of

professional education and is something that the Stillman School Business at Seton Hall encourages. Dean Joyce Strawser champions the partnerships that form between faculty and students in order to collaborate in research areas, saying that they o en work with students to turn class-work into a conference presentation or academic paper. The school’s hybrid approach is defined by its “Concepts into Practice” philosophy as the MBA combines evening classes in business theory with practical applied learning in real-world situations and companies. The school also has a unique focus on Sports

11/08/2014 09:29

A HEMISPHERES SUPPLEMENT: PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Management, which it studies as a business rather than the more common physical education application.

The AB Freeman School of Business at Tulane University “facilitates the formation of very strong bonds among the students” according to Dean Ira Solomon. The ExecMBA features no more than thirty students per class to guarantee networking opportunities and close interaction with professors.

For Cheryl Oliver, Assistant Dean at Washington State University’s Carson College of Business, convenience is the most important factor for her students and especially for the companies that fund their education: “They always say, ‘Why do I want to invest in an employee who is going to cut their work hours by 25% so they can engage in educational pursuits, but I really need them to be more productive.’ We tell them they can do it online, in their own time, for 20 hours a week in addition to their job.”

SAS_Education//BusinessS.indd 104

“IN LIFE AND B USINE S S YOU’RE EITHER GOING FORWARD S OR YOU’RE GOING B A C K W A R D S . T H E R E I S N O S T AY I N G WHERE YOU ARE, BECAUSE EVERY THING EL SE IS MOVING FORWARD S ” Below and bottom: Proud student at Tulane University, and first-rate facilities at The University of Bridgeport

An innovative industry This need for convenience in education is leading to increasingly innovative delivery of courses, as is seen at the University of West Georgia. Ranked No. 4 by US News and World Reports for Best Online Programs, the WebMBA is an onlineonly, cohort-based program that assembles students into groups. The initial orientation establishes individual learning styles and group communication skills to ensure a strong, compatible team. Dr. Faye McIntyre is incredibly pleased with the immediately measurable rewards of her program, “Many students email back a er a few months to say, ‘I got that promotion’ and they credit the MBA with helping them get there which I find very satisfying.”

The growing competitiveness of this industry means schools are always on a program of continuous improvement, a skill Lloyd Gibson believes is integral to business. Dean of the Ernest C. Trefz School of Business at the University of Bridgeport, he equates life in business to running on a treadmill: “What happens if you stop when the treadmill is running? You’d fly off the back.

So in life and business you’re either going forwards or you’re going backwards. There is no staying where you are, because everything else is moving forwards.” He exercises this analogy when developing his courses and hopes to add two more concentrations to the ExecMBA, as well as custom programs specific to an organization.

Bespoke programs The Culverhouse College of Commerce, whose two-year ExecMBA provides essential skills and an understanding of an international market, is currently solving the same problem. Dean Michael Hardin explains the most current subject for development, “Companies are trying to get their heads around big data and analytics and we are trying to map out how to provide that to them. One of my goals, is to expand our offerings in custom programs.”

For the non-degree executive

“ T H E T W O - D AY C O U R S E S A R E D E S I G N E D T O B RID G E A G A P T H AT E I T HE R A COMPAN Y SEE S IN IT S EMPLOYEE S OR A N E M PL OY E E S E E S IN T HE M S E LV E S ”

education, custom courses have long been a focus as their shorter, intensive programs offer increased flexibility and a tailored curriculum. Lisa Kaminski, Associate Dean of Executive Education at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School, says, “It is an inexpensive way for a department to improve. Organizations are made up of people and people are your most valuable resource.” The school has custom and open-enrolment courses,

which can run between two and five days and teach everything from critical thinking to emotional intelligence.

Another benefit to custom programs is classes can be conducted on-site at work.

Dr. Gaylen Paulson at the Texas McCombs School of Business says his faculty will travel wherever they’re needed: “I think we’ll run programs this year on every continent except for Antarctica.” Another non-degree program, the two-day courses bridge a gap that either a company sees in its employees or an employee sees in themselves.

The la er is what drives students to CME Resource . The multi-disciplinary provider of healthcare education curates its resources from medical journals, government agencies and many others.

Physician Division Planner Dr. John Leonard says, “the programs look at the information in a way that textbooks can’t do as they don’t deal with the practicalities of healthcare. Ours show what local resources are available as well as state-specific requirements.” Available both online and in print, students “can identify a need in their practice and they can meet it whenever they have the time”.

The overwhelming focus across all programs is on building a strong core basis of skills. With these in place, professionals are able to deal with any developing industry, all future colleagues, and technology that may not exist yet.

A HEMISPHERES SUPPLEMENT: BUSINESS TRAVEL

TOP TIPS FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL Across America, companies continue to find new ways to make your life easier before, during and a er your flight WORDS BY DANIEL WELLBELOVE

Stay connected A 2013 KPCB study found that the average person checks their cell phone approximately 150 times per day. It has become an inextricable part of our modern lifestyle and, in turn, creates two of the most critical problems facing business travelers today: a lack of signal and the rapid decline of ba ery life.

Iridium is a global communications company that uses 66 cross-linked satellites to provide data connections even when out of range of cellular networks. Using these, Iridium GO! can provide a wi-fi hotspot with a range of 100 feet anywhere on the planet, allowing travelers to use up to five smartphones or mobile devices to make calls, send emails or texts, or use certain apps wherever they may be.

“Really for the first time in this market, users get to use their existing device,” says Bryan Hartin, the company’s EVP of sales and marketing. “And unlike cellular networks and many satellite providers, our rates are flat across the globe.”

Meanwhile, Jackery has produced a range of premium portable chargers that at provide peace of mind when out and about. A triumph of sleek design, the company has succeeded in producing the he world’s most powerful and fastestcharging external ba ery in a size that slips easily into a pocket or purse.

“The most important thing is that we use a very high quality ba ery cell,” sayss co-founder and VP of product and marketing Anson Liang. “We use the same ba eries as they do in the Tesla car. Plus, we’re differentiated by our circuits which, once charged, can hold power for six months if not used.”

“ R E A L LY F O R T H E F I R S T T I M E I N T H I S M A R K E T, U S E R S G E T T O U S E T H E I R E X I S T I N G D E V I C E , ” S AY S B R YA N H A R T I N , IR ID I U M ’ S E V P OF S A L E S A N D MARKE TING. “AND UNLIKE CELLUL AR NE T WORK S A N D M A N Y O T HE R S AT E L L I T E P R OV ID E R S , O U R R AT E S A RE FL AT AC R O S S T HE GL O B E ”

Pack sensibly “I always thought that there had to be a be er way to travel, especially with my toiletries. I never felt confident that my bo les were leakproof.

And it was a pain to go through TSA not sure if they would allow them or not,” says Kevin Garrity, who founded Squeeze Pod with the goal of solving a problem that any frequent flier can identify with.

His company’s line of natural toiletries—from hand purifiers to shaving cream—come in innovative teardropshaped packaging that’s TSA-compliant and ideally suited for traveling. Durable, lightweight and easy to open, they eradicate the need for bulky containers poised to split open mid-journey.

Second, we believed that they had very li le time to digest this, even if they were to find it,” says Michel Koopman, CEO of getAbstract, whose company provides concise summaries of the most relevant business books and financial reports. Fi y new titles are released every month, prepared by a world-class team of business writers and editors.

Such a service is especially useful when flying, which provides a rare opportunity for personal development.

As such, a subscription to getAbstract includes access to its Travel Pack feature, which collects six summaries that you haven’t read yet and delivers them to your inbox.

Save time at luggage collection Nobody likes standing around in luggage collection, waiting for the belt to start moving. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could head straight out and meet your suitcase at the hotel?

Bags VIP delivers its customers’ luggage to any address within 100 miles of the airport. The affordable service is available at select United Airlines destination in the U.S. “Luggage is an emotional business.

When you deliberately walk away from your luggage, you have to really believe that a trusted, well-run organization is going to recover and deliver that bag,” says senior VP Dennis Garrow, whose company prides itself on a customer service that extends to sending email updates at every stage of the process. “One customer used us over 70 times last year. Once you get used to it, you don’t ever want to stand there waiting for that light again.”

Be your own driver “The convenience of having your own vehicle at your disposal with state-of-theart innovation will make your trip easy and enjoyable,” says Robert Stuart, Hertz’s EVP of global sales and marketing, of the advantages that car hire provides upon arrival in a new city. “We have an array of cars to accommodate all customer needs and the accompanying technology with Hertz NeverLost makes it a winning combination.”

Other perks for the business traveler include the NeverLost Concierge, a 24/7 service in which the company’s operators can help you search for destinations, build custom trips and send route information straight to the in-car NeverLost device. Hertz also offers an industry-leading Gold Plus Rewards loyalty program, now in its third year, which has recently been upgraded so that its users can enjoy faster rentals, more rewards and an easier path to a higher-level member status.

Stay in comfort Next time you’re facing an extended stay in a new location, think beyond traditional hotels.

A corporate apartment can provide the same services and amenities, but with the space and flexibility that comes with residential housing. Established 33 years ago, Chicago’s Manilow Suites was the first company to offer this alternative form of accommodation.

SAS_Education//BusinessS.indd 110

“Corporate housing is like running a hotel with two exceptions: we use up-scale residential buildings and people are here for a minimum of 30 days,” says founder Francine Manilow, a former United Airlines employee. “Just as when I was a flight a endant I would say, ‘I’m going to do anything I can to make this as convenient and comfortable as possible for you,’ I’m now saying the same thing when you stay in one of my apartments.”

CHICAGO: A GLOBAL CITY WITH WORLD-CLASS AIRPORTS Chicago to host the 20th World Route Development Forum while O’Hare International Airport adds service and transforms its International Terminal CHICAGO, IL – Chicago, the most American of American cities, was named “A Top 10 Place to Visit in the World,” according to Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2014. Chicago was the only U.S. city to be recognized. In the heartland of America, Chicago attracts more than 46 million annual visitors from around the world who enjoy 25 Michelin-starred restaurants, world-renowned museums, luxury shopping, a world-premier theatre district and awe-inspiring architecture.

“From our earliest days as a city, people have been drawn to Chicago because of its rich history, the character of our neighborhoods, our world-class cultural attractions, and the friendliness of our people,” said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

Mayor Emanuel also credited the success of the city to its diverse economy. Chicago is the only inland city with an international economic footprint because of geography and its transportation network.

That is due in part to O’Hare and Midway International Airports.

With more than 3,000 daily flights arriving and departing to over 200 cities, the airports together transport passengers to and from virtually anywhere in the world in a single flight.

“We are proud to offer two of the world’s busiest, best and most sustainable airports,” Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) Commissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino said. “Under the Mayor’s leadership, the CDA supports the city’s thriving tourism industry by adding air service and providing a world-class experience to travelers.”

Determining where airlines fly is a complex undertaking. Chicago takes a leadership role in this venture and is host to the 20th World Route Development Forum from 20-23 September. Thousands of executives from the airline, airport and tourism industries will converge on Chicago to establish new connections and create new partnerships.

ADVERTORIAL BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

No.38386 Chicago Dept of Aviation.indd 1

Rahm Emanuel Mayor

From Chicago, travelers can fly to and from virtually anywhere in the world in a single flight.

Chicago is the ideal setting for this prestigious gathering because of its commitment to growing visitation and investing in infrastructure.

“We want to improve every aspect of a visitor’s experience here – from the moment their plane touches down at one of our airports, to their trips on our public transportation system, to the museums they visit, to the restaurants they dine in, to the hotels they stay in, to the music and theater they enjoy,” Mayor Emanuel said.

One massive investment is the $8 billion O’Hare Modernization Program that transformed the airport’s intersecting runways into an efficient, parallel configuration. The airport’s newest runway is Chicago’s first Group VI capable runway, equipped to handle the largest aircraft flying today. The third newest runway and second newest Air Traffic Control tower will open in 2015.

The CDA also transformed O’Hare’s International Terminal 5, which welcomes 15,000 passengers each day. Travelers now experience luxury retail, award-winning restaurants and expedited customs initiatives that have nearly eliminated wait times for travelers.

“Chicago’s airports, convention facilities, hotels, museums, restaurants and luxury shopping are among the best in the world,” Commissioner Andolino said. “We look forward to welcoming more and more travelers to our global city, and that experience begins at Chicago’s world-class airports.”

CBP offers the Global Entry™ program in order to expedite the processing of pre-approved, low-risk international travelers entering the U.S. Upon returning from travel abroad, Global Entry™–enrolled travelers may bypass the regular passport control line and proceed to the Global Entry™ kiosk.

Global Entry™ program participants scan their machine-readable passport, U.S. permanent resident card or U.S. visa on the kiosk, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification and make a customs declaration. The kiosk will issue the traveler a transaction receipt and direct the traveler to baggage claim and exit. Kiosks are located at major U.S. airports, as well as at several CBP Pre-Clearance locations.

The following travelers are eligible for enrollment in Global Entry™: • Citizens and residents of the U.S. • Citizens of Mexico who hold a U.S. visa • Citizens of the Netherlands who are enrolled in Privium • Citizens of South Korea who are enrolled in SES (Smart Entry Service) • Citizens of Panama who hold a U.S. visa • Members of NEXUS or SENTRI

Application for enrollment in Global Entry™ is available at the Global On-Line Enrollment System: goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov. It costs only $100, which covers enrollment for a five-year period. The government will review the applicant’s information while a background investigation is conducted. Applicants undergo an interview with CBP officers at an Enrollment Center in the U.S. before final approval is granted.

Eligible passengers will also see the TSA Pre logo on their boarding passes issued online, through kiosks and on mobile boarding passes.

If the boarding pass contains the TSA Pre logo (which will be located on the boarding pass near the customer’s name), the passenger can go to TSA Pre lanes. It’s important to note that while the TSA Pre logo will appear on all qualifying boarding passes, not all airports currently offer a TSA Pre lane.

Approved Global Entry/NEXUS/SENTRI members receive a membership/PASS ID number, also called a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Approved TSA Pre Application Program members receive a KTN. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces may use their DoD ID number as a KTN. Enter the KTN into your MileagePlus profile at united.com/tsaprescreening. United will transmit the KTN to the TSA along with the Secure Flight Passenger Data in your reservation so the TSA can determine your eligibility for TSA Pre .

Tips for customers using Global Entry/ NEXUS/SENTRI to participate in TSA Pre All customers should ensure they are providing accurate Secure Flight Passenger Data (name, date of birth, gender, optional Known Traveler Number and optional Redress Number) in all reservations. Global Entry/NEXUS/SENTRI members should ensure that this data matches what was used on the CBP application, or they will not be selected to participate.

Our Fleet

767-300ER UPDATE United has recently completed a significant upgrade to its two-class 767-300ER fleet. With this $160 million flyerfriendly investment, the aircraft now feature 180-degree lie-flat seats in United BusinessFirst, personal on-demand entertainment in both cabins and newly refreshed lavatories and larger overhead bins throughout the aircraft.

As part of United’s Eco-Skies program, these 14 aircraft have also been outfitted with environmentally friendly winglets, reducing fuel burn by more than 5 percent and

saving more than 300,000 gallons of fuel per aircraft per year. United has 21 additional three-class configured 767300ER aircraft that it plans to retire in the next few years and replace with new highly efficient 787 Dreamliners. The replacement 787s will consume up to 20 percent less fuel per seat than the three-class 767-300ERs. Our 767-300ERs typically fly long-haul trans-Atlantic and South America routes. We look forward to welcoming you aboard one soon.

Learn the Inside Secrets of Professional Photographers Photographs can preserve cherished memories, reveal the beauty of life, and even change the world. Yet most of us point and shoot without really being aware of what we’re seeing or how we could take our photo from good to great.

Just imagine the images you could create if you trained yourself to “see” as the professionals do. With Fundamentals of Photography, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the art of taking unforgettable pictures straight from photographer and National Geographic Fellow Joel Sartore—a professional with over 30 years of experience. Whatever your skill level, these 24 engaging lectures allow you to hone your photographer’s eye, take full advantage of your camera’s features, and capture magical moments in any situation or setting imaginable.

INFORMATION MAKING YOUR CONNECTING FLIGHT Whether your next flight is on United or one of its Star Alliance partners around the world, you can use the terminal diagrams on pages 142–144 to plan your connection. In addition to gate locations, these maps show ticket counters and interterminal transportation.

Safety & Travel Assistance SAFETY INFORMATION NEED TO KNOW Customer safety is our primary concern. Our flight attendants are trained thoroughly in all safety procedures. But as expert as they are, in the event of an emergency they need help from you, the customer.

You should be aware of the following:

EXIT Location of the nearest emergency exit

The correct procedure for exiting the cabin in an emergency

Where your oxygen mask will appear, how to start the oxygen flow and how to use the mask

Please look carefully at the safety information card located in the seat pocket in front of you

Liquid and solid explosives

Flammable gases and compressed gas

Poisons

Radioactive and magnetic materials, corrosive and oxidizing agents

Smoking is not permitted. Federal law imposes fines of $1,000 for smoking and up to $2,200 for any attempt to disable an aircraft’s smoke detectors. We prohibit the use of electronic simulated smoking devices (cigarettes, pipes, cigars, etc.) on our flights.

NEVER PERMITTED The Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration prohibit hazardous materials in either checked or carry-on baggage.

Substantial fines can be imposed for violations.

It is a violation of federal regulations to drink alcoholic beverages during a flight unless they are served by our personnel.

Also, airlines are forbidden to serve alcoholic beverages to anyone who appears to be intoxicated.

Travel assistance for delayed or canceled flights At United, our priority is safety and keeping an on-time schedule. On occasion, canceling or delaying a flight is the only option to ensure we maintain the highest safety standards.

Flight interruption? We will confirm you on the next United flight with available seats. Kiosks located in the concourse will assist you with information and a boarding pass, and will also help you stand by for an earlier United flight if one is scheduled. If you want to travel standby and aren’t boarded, we will transfer your name to the next United flight to your destination until you are onboard.

What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next flight if space is available, which means your bags may arrive before you. If so, United will secure the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative.

What if I have to stay overnight? If a flight is canceled to address a mechanical issue or a similar issue within our control, we will provide

you with a hotel and meal voucher. For uncontrollable events—such as weather—we may be able to help you locate a local hotel at a discounted rate; however, United does not cover hotel or meal expenses in this event.

If we cannot retrieve your checked bag, overnight kits containing toiletries are available. Please see an agent.

What if the reason for my travel no longer exists? If as a result of the delay or cancellation you opt not to travel, call United reservations (1-800-UNITED-1) to learn about your options.

Help us help you stay informed. Sign up for Trip Alert, our messaging service that informs you if your flight is canceled or delayed, at united.com.

At home? Go to united.com for information or to check in and print your boarding pass.

Your safety and satisfaction are important to us. We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

CUSTOMER CARE We are committed to providing quality service, and we want to hear about your travel experience with us. In addition, if you think a certain employee or an action taken on your behalf deserves special recognition, please let us know.

Please give us your comments at united.com/feedback.

Use of personal electronic devices What is the new portable electronic device policy?

Small, lightweight devices may be used on Unitedoperated and United Express flights gate-to-gate, as long as the device is secured and has been switched to airplane mode and/or had the cellular data disabled.

This policy applies to flights operating within the 50 U.S. states and all U.S. territories.

How do devices need to be secured or stowed?

Devices may be held in hand (not left unsecured around the seat) or placed in a garment pocket or in the seatback pocket, as long as the device is less than 2 pounds. Devices weighing more than 2 pounds must be stowed in approved carry-on baggage in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you during take-off, taxi and landing. In an emergency situation, all devices must be turned off and stowed. For international destinations, your flight attendants will advise if it’s necessary to turn off and stow your device.

Are there any exceptions to using personal devices under this new policy?

The captain may request that all devices be fully turned off in certain circumstances, such as for poor visibility landings. Please always listen to and follow crewmember instructions.

Does the new policy allow me to use a small notebook laptop?

No. The new policy does not apply to laptops or DVD players, which may only be used when announced by your flight crew.

Will I be able to use Wi-Fi below 10,000 feet?

Our aircraft equipped with satellite Wi-Fi are currently configured to allow Wi-Fi above 10,000 feet. However, we are exploring options to provide gate-to-gate Wi-Fi in the future.

When can I use in-seat power?

Use of in-seat power is prohibited during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Can I make calls or send text messages?

The use of cellular network services during the flight is not permitted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The use of any voice application, such as a Web-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, in connection with or in-flight Wi-Fi service is not permitted.

CHEERS!

Courtesy of Doug Frost, Master Sommelier and Master of Wine

Tenuta Cappezzana Barco Reale D.O.C. 2008 | Where once Italy was seen as old school wine, recent Tuscan wines have become ultra-modern: tons of fresh fruit, spicy oak and vanilla and herbal hints. This wine would stand up well to the richness of the Bolognese.
