A rememberance of a renaissance woman.
News of the death of Gail O’Neill, 60, a model and journalist, is spreading through Instagram. Her passing has been confirmed by her agency. O’Neill’s life in fashion took off at JFK Airport. In 1985, arriving home from vacation, this 5’ 9” beauty was approached by photographer Chuck Barry. At the time, O’Neill was a Wesleyan University graduate working in marketing and sales for Xerox, and thriving in her career. She carried that success over to her new occupation.
“She has a perfect, heart-shaped face, flawless skin, and a classic cover-girl smile. But in the three years she’s been modeling, 26-year-old Gail O’Neill has heard a hundred reasons why she’s all wrong for a job,” Newsweek wrote in 1988, the same year that the model became part of The Black Girls Coalition , founded by Bethann Hardison and Iman, as an advocacy group speaking out about issues ranging from racism to homelessness.

Forecast model predicts how the solar eclipse will shift the weatherWhen the moon's shadow sweeps across the U.S. West from Oregon to Texas during the upcoming annular eclipse on October 14, people working in the energy industry may be able to sit back for a moment and enjoy the event with less worry than in the past. That's because this time around, NOAA's short-range weather forecast model HRRR (High-Resolution Rapid Refresh) includes the eclipse in its weather forecasts—and that means better forecasts for the wind, solar, and even conventional energy sectors.
