This photo taken by Annie Leibovitz exclusively for Vanity Fair shows the cover of the magazine’s July 2015 issue featuring Bruce Jenner debuting as a transgender woman named Caitlyn Jenner.
Caitlyn Jenner also debuted a new Twitter account with: “I’m so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can’t wait for you to get to know her/me.” The account broke a record for fastest time to reach 1 million followers, besting President Barack Obama’s new @Potus handle with a mark of 4 hours and 3 minutes, according to Guinness World Records. Vanity Fair took to Twitter with the cover Monday and said Jenner spoke emotionally about her gender journey: “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life.’” The cover comes after Jenner’s twohour ABC interview with Diane Sawyer in which Bruce Jenner confirmed the transition. The much-anticipated “20/20” interview on April 24 was watched by more than 17.1 million viewers. Prior to the unveiling of Caitlyn, Jenner had said he preferred the pronoun “he,” but Vanity Fair contributing editor Buzz Bissinger, who wrote the story, refers to “she.” The Olympian who married and divorced reality show “momager” Kris Jenner has appeared for years on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Jenner’s own still-untitled docu-series chronicling her transition is scheduled for the same network, E!, beginning July 26. In addition to the va-va voom corset cover, Vanity Fair released a blackand-white video on the making of the cover “Caitlyn doesn’t have any secrets,”
Jenner narrates. “As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I’m free.” Bissinger, the “Friday Night Lights” Pulitzer Prize winner, said in the lengthy magazine story that he had unfettered access to Jenner, both before her transition and after. His approach to Jenner’s life is exhaustive, based on interviews with several of her biological children, her mother, her former wives and others. The story describes Jenner’s painful recovery from “facial-feminization” surgery in March, a grueling 10-hour procedure that had Jenner briefly second-guessing the decision during a panic attack eased in part with the help of a Los Angeles Gender Center counselor who made a house call. There was also a breast-augmentation procedure. Now, Bissinger reports, the 65-yearold Jenner is “immensely happy, relaxed, with a shiny sense of purpose and confidence.” He added: “She can’t wait when she goes out now to tell the paparazzi to ‘make sure it’s a good shot.’” Of the upcoming reality series, Jenner is already prepared with a response over criticism that she’s doing it for a paycheck: “I’m not doing it for money. I’m doing it to help my soul and help other people. If I can make a dollar, I certainly am not stupid. (I have) house payments and all that kind of stuff. I will never make an excuse for something like that. Yeah, this is a business.” Jenner said she is aware of the appalling conditions in which many of the 700,000 transgender men and women live in the U.S. and plans to shed light in the E! show on such issues as suicide and attempted suicide within the community.(ap)

Enrique Iglesias undergoing reconstructive hand surgery
NEW YORK — Enrique Iglesias is undergoing reconstructive hand surgery in Los Angeles after his fingers were sliced during a recent concert. His representative said in a statement to The Associated Press that surgery on the 40-year-old singer will be completed Monday. Iglesias sliced some of his fingers when he grabbed a drone during a concert in Tijuana, Mexico, on Saturday. He was “semitreated” at the side of the stage to stop the bleeding. “Thank you to all for your concern and good wishes. Enrique is currently undergoing reconstructive hand surgery today,” the statement read. “Enrique will resume his tour July 3rd in Mexico City. We appreciate all your wishes and prayers.” Iglesias performed an additional 30 minutes, though he was advised to end his show after the accident occurred at Plaza de Toros de Playas in front of 12,000 fans, who posted photos and video on social media of Iglesias with a bandaged hand and blooded T-shirt. Iglesias was rushed to Los Angeles after the concert to see a specialist. The singer’s show was part of his Sex and Love World Tour. (ap)

Management of tourism village judged less maximal
Local govt requested to boost coaching
Bangli - The existence of tourism village denoting the government program of Bangli County is meant to increase the regionally generated revenue (PAD) is highlighted by a member of Commission II of the Bangli House, I Wayan Jamin, Sunday (May 31). So far, the management of a number of tourism villages is considered less maximal. Seeing that condition, local government is required to pay serious attention to the programs that have been initiated several years ago. Based on the data of the Bangli Culture and Tourism Agency, currently the existing tourism village reaches 22 objects. Seeing the amount, said Jamin, only some few are able to develop while the others are virtually not known by travelers. He pointed out that the knowledge of travelers on tourism village tends to refer to the Penglipuran and Pengotan traditional village, while the others have not been known yet. “Only some few tourism villages have been known by travelers, while the others are virtually unknown,” he said. He said further that so far the attention given by the government to tourism village is more focused
on quantity than on quality. Government intensively increases tourism village, but behind it the quality seems not to become a priority. Jamin added that to attract travelers the most important is to provide comfort and facilities of tourist object. Though the number of tourism village is minimal, with a maximal comfort and service will indirectly attract travelers to visit and on the way around. “The most important thing for tourism village is quality, not quantity. Maximize first an object and then establish another object,” he said. What Jamin said is intended to avoid the collapse of the program having been designed. On the other
hand, he also criticized the existing human resources at a number of tourism villages are considered inadequate because the knowledge on the attraction is not known well. Likewise, their language skill has not been maximal. He said that the interest of travelers to visit one of them is caused by human resource capabilities in explaining the ins and outs of the tourism village. Unfortunately, this aspect has not got a serious concern. “Quality of human resources should also become a concern. They should know the ins and outs of the tourist attraction. By that way, travelers can make a visit,” he said. Related to the lack of human resources to manage the tourism village is revealed by the headman of Bayunggede, Kintamani, I Wayan Suarjaya. Enactment of the traditional village as tourism village cannot develop optimally so far. Furthermore, he explained that most management staff of the tourist attraction has resigned because their income is insufficient to meet daily
needs. Previously, the management staff amounted to four people, but because of low income, they are no longer active. “Formerly, it was handled by a management, but due to inadequate income, they finally preferred to resign,” he said. Suarjaya added that the lack of guidance and training to the residents of Bayunggede village from the government related to tourism management becomes one of the causes of the slow development of the attraction. Only few local residents of Bayunggede are getting involved in tourism, while on the other hand the tourist attraction is necessary to be developed. “Only few people who know about tourism, so that it is required training and coaching,” he said. He also mentioned that the environmental condition at Bayunggede village is already considered adequate for local tourism. However, due to lack of tourism promotion, this area cannot grow rapidly. “Our environment has continued to be arranged, but it’s just the matter of
promotion shortage,” he said. Jamin hoped that the local government can make a grand design responding to the emergence of some issues alleged to cause the lack of interest of travelers to visit the tourism villages, so that in the future they can increase the regionally generated revenue when they can be well managed. The government must aggressively provide guidance for human resources, both in terms of language skill and management of tourist attraction. In addition, this program must be balanced with maximal promotion. “Coaching and promotion must be provided continuously so that this program can develop optimally,” he concluded.
