Donatella Versace, 66, sizzles in a racy black PVC outfit on the cover of Vogue Italia as she talks womanhood, feeling insecure and about her 'partner in crime' brother Gianni's death

She explained: 'The truth? Yes, because Iโ€™ve set myself free. The death of my brother was so brutal that I spent years in a state of shock. I couldnโ€™t get over it. We were like partners in crime; I was his shadow. We lived together at work and in private.'

Gianni, founder of the luxury brand, was shot and killed outside his Miami Beach mansion in 1997 by killer Andrew Cunanan.

In Louisiana and parts of the Gulf Coast region historically settled by the French, king cake is associated with Mardi Gras and is traditionally served from Epiphany until Carnival. and recently year-round. It may have been introduced by Basque settlers in 1718, or by the French in 1870.

It comes in a number of styles. The most simple, said to be the most traditional, is a ring of twisted cinnamon roll-style dough. It may be topped with icing or sugar, which may be colored to show the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power.

Cakes may also be filled with cream cheese, praline, cinnamon, or strawberry. The "Zulu King Cake" has chocolate icing with a coconut filling.

Traditionally, a small porcelain baby, symbolizing Jesus, is hidden in the king cake and is a way for residents of New Orleans to celebrate their Christian faith. The baby symbolizes luck and prosperity to whoever finds it. That person is also responsible for purchasing next year's cake or hosting the next Mardi Gras party. Bakers have recently been placing the baby outside of the cake to avoid liability for any choking hazard.

In 2009 the New Orleans Pelicans introduced the King Cake Baby as a seasonal mascot. The New Orleans Zephyrs also played as the Baby Cakes for a few seasons before relocating.

Black & Veatch Provides Monitoring of the Radioactive Confinement Sarcophagus at Chernobyl

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) selected Black & Veatch to provide independent monitoring of construction on two key programs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine โ€“ the New Safe Confinement (NSC) structure and the Interim Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISF-2).

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred in 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. To contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe, a sarcophagus structure was constructed, and now the aging infrastructure is being upgraded.

The Next 100 Years

The Chernobyl Shelter Fund, set up in 1997, finances the Shelter Implementation Plan to transform the damaged Chernobyl Unit 4 to a more environmentally stable condition. The NSC structure and ISF-2 are two key components of that program. The NSC structure is designed to contain the radioactive remains of Unit 4 for the next 100 years.

The ISF-2 will provide a crucial component of a preparatory stage for the decommissioning of Units 1, 2 and 3. It will provide dry storage for at least 100 years for the more than 20,000 spent fuel assemblies from the operation of Chernobyl.

 

โ€œBlack & Veatch has overcome many challenges and is delivering meaningful reports to the donors and the Bank, and they have established excellent working relationships with our project management units.โ€
