“Media or anecdotal reports of cancer clusters around mobile phone base stations have heightened public concern. It should be noted that geographically, cancers are unevenly distributed among any population. Given the widespread presence of base stations in the environment, it is expected that possible cancer clusters will occur near base stations merely by chance. Moreover, the reported cancers in these clusters are often a collection of different types of cancer with no common characteristics and hence unlikely to have a common cause.”

Outback, the 55-litre grass box looks huge, but it clips and unclips from the mower with ease. Fins moulded into the box ensure you don’t get dust blown up at you while mowing, and there’s a bin-full indicator flap on the top that folds flat when full. Packed full of well-compacted grass trimmings, the box is quite weighty. Yet the mono handle and split-open design promise to ease the process of emptying.
“When I first started, I didn’t want to be typecast as a streetwear designer. In my naïveté, I thought that doing what everyone else was doing was the way to play along with the big wolves. 2015 was a turning point for me — being inundated with news and imagery of black bodies slaughtered in the streets, killed by police, in choke holds. I was an activist before I was a designer, and these events took me right back to the roots of why I started working in fashion. But when we titled our show ‘Black Lives Matter’ in 2015, I became a pariah for a good 6 to 12 months, and no one in the industry really wanted anything to do with me. I lost four accounts the night of my show, and another two the following day. Speaking about race was really taboo. But it was the beginning of me putting my personal story into my clothing and using fashion as a canvas for art.”—Kerby Jean-Raymond, designer

“I got braids for the first time in my adult life last summer because I finally felt I worked somewhere where I would feel comfortable wearing that hairstyle in the office. It was a big deal! I never would have done it at Condé Nast, Hearst, or Time Inc. I’m not sure if that makes me a coward, but I didn’t want to deal with the drama of people touching my hair, so I always just opted out.”—Danielle Prescod, style director, BET
