Barcelona have confirmed they’ve signed Jean-Clair Todibo from Toulouse, who will join them this summer on a free transfer
The 19-year-old defender broke into the Toulouse senior team this season in a 2-1 derby win over Bordeaux in August and he’s since made a further nine Ligue 1 appearances.
Reports in the Spanish media announced last week that a deal had been struck on between Barcelona and Todibo for his transfer this summer once his contract at Toulouse expires.
Now the Catalan giants have confirmed the news that they’ve reached an agreement for the Frenchman.
“FC Barcelona have reached an agreement with the French player Jean-Clair Todibo for him to join the Club from 1 July 2019,” read a statement on the club website.
“The player’s contract with Toulouse FC ends on 30 June this year and so he will join on a free transfer.”
Todibo is regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents and has already represented France at U20 level.

I have interest about injury in frozen plants tissue cause by the cold
weather, and I want to do some questions about this, I have found some
studies of Hincha, D.K. , Universitat Wurzburg, Wurzburg, F.R.G. The
article says: " The disaccharides sucrose and trehalose were compared in
regard to their ability to protect isolated spinach chloroplast membranes
against rupture during a freeze-thaw cycle. . Low concentrations of
trehalose (up to 2 mM) provide much more efficient cryoprotection against
thylakoid membrane rupture than sucrose at the same concentrations.
Protection by trehalose can be attributed to a reduction in the solute
permeability of the membranes which reduces solute influx during freezing
and therefore osmotic swelling and rupture during thawing"
There are some formulas about the use of sucrose and glucose, for prevent
the freeze damage to plants like potato, lettuce, celery, carrot and other
verdures and fruits like lemon, orange.
My questions are :
This or similar products (containing sucrose , or maybe with trehalose) are
being used in commercial scale in your country to prevent this freeze
damage from the cold weather to crops like maize ?
Have this products bad effects in the crops ? are they accepted commonly by
Or may be you can to suggest me some scientist or engineer who have worked
directly with this case ?
I thank any advice of you !!!

Jennifer Hudson to perform Whitney Houston tribute at 2012 GRAMMYs
Jennifer Hudson is set to pay a "respectful" tribute to the late Whitney Houston at tonight's (February 12) GRAMMY Awards.
News broke late last night that the 'I Will Always Love You' superstar had passed away (February 11) and Neil Portnow, president of the Recording Academy, has now confirmed that Hudson will honour the star with a special performance at the ceremony:
"I've asked Jennifer Hudson to come, and we're really at this moment talking about what she's going to do. It's going to be something respectful. It's not going to be a full-blown tribute, that's too early and it's too fresh at this moment."
"It's going to be something respectful to Whitney's memory," he continued. "Knowing Whitney like I did, she was a great artist and a great performer, and she knew the importance of thrilling an audience, and that's what we plan to do."
Houston was once the queen of the international music industry, winning six Grammys and two Tony Awards.

Regardless of the name, a boiler normally simply heats up water rather than boiling it. The warm water is after that pumped to radiators, under-floor tubing, or to a heat exchanger. All these heating unit are referred to as hydronic, water-based, warm. Wall-mounted radiators as well as hot water walls use boiler-supplied warm water to warm areas by radiation and convection. Hot water circulating in under-floor tubes, hydronic radiant floor heating, turns the whole flooring surface area into a huge radiator.

Shiba Inu (SHIB 0.34%) -- the "Dogecoin killer" -- has been on an epic run. As of this writing, the meme coin has skyrocketed nearly 600% since the start of October alone and is up well over 3,500,000% since inception last summer. This return includes a more than 40% fall from its all-time high just weeks ago.
Meme coins like Shiba Inu could create mind-boggling wealth in a short period of time, but they can also turn against you just as quickly. Looking for a longer-term bet that could also create game-changing investment returns? Three Fool.com contributors think Lemonade (LMND -0.56%), Universal Display (OLED 4.36%), and Marqeta (MQ 1.07%) are worth a look. Here's why.
Attempting a coup in insurance
Nicholas Rossolillo (Lemonade): Over a year since its initial public offering (IPO) in the summer of 2020, Lemonade has made quite the roundtrip. Shares are down 8% since their debut in public trade, but down 67% from all-time highs notched in January 2021. Even for individual stocks, which can swing wildly up and down, Lemonade's boom and bust thus far have been impressive.
But enough about the stock, let's talk about Lemonade the business. The company is growing its number of insured customers at a rapid pace, up to this point primarily by offering renters, homeowner, pet, and life insurance. Total customers increased 48% year over year to over 1.36 million at the end of the third quarter of 2021, and in-force premium (the value of active insurance policies) was up 84% year over year to $347 million. This is still a small insurance upstart trying to use technology to disrupt a massive global industry.
The company just made its biggest new-product launch yet, Lemonade Car, to go after the huge U.S. auto insurance market. To accelerate its nationwide rollout, Lemonade is acquiring Metromile in an all-stock deal worth about $500 million at the time of the announcement (or just over $200 million when subtracting Metromile's net cash on balance). Metromile itself has not fared well since its own IPO early in 2021, but plugging its auto insurance licenses and driver data into Lemonade's machine learning platform could be interesting.
As of this writing, Lemonade's enterprise value is at just $2.7 billion. The company operates at a steep loss (free cash flow was negative $102 million through the first nine months of 2021), so this aspiring insurance disruptor isn't for the faint of heart. However, flush with over $1 billion in cash and equivalents and no debt, Lemonade could be an incredible growth story if it can continue to expand in the years to come.
This technology has a lot of untapped market share to capture
Anders Bylund (Universal Display): Shiba Inu's 15 minutes in the limelight are almost over, as I see it. At the same time, Universal Display is only getting started on its long-term growth story -- and the stock is on a fire sale.
The developer and materials reseller behind organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens just posted another impressive earnings report. In the third quarter of 2021, sales rose 23% year over year to $144 million and earnings increased by 14% to $0.97 per diluted share. Your average Wall Street analyst was looking for $146 million and $1.09 per share, respectively. The miss triggered a modest sell-off on UDC's already affordable shares, and the stock is still more than 6% cheaper today in comparison to the day before this earnings report.
Skeptics might argue that the report uncovered serious flaws in UDC's business, and that investors should stay away from the stock. I humbly disagree with that notion.
What Universal Display's recent reports have shown, including the fresh third-quarter update, is that the company is growing in a time of industrywide supply chain challenges. At the same time, the addressable market for OLED screens and lighting panels continues to expand and the company's screen-building partners are building out their manufacturing facilities in order to exploit this unique opportunity.
For example, Universal Display's earnings call showed that LG Display (NYSE: LPL) is shipping roughly 8 million big-screen OLED television sets this year, up from 4.5 million in 2020. LG wants to boost its TV-screen production even further in 2022. The long-term growth opportunity for power-efficient OLED screens beyond that point remains enormous, since this technology accounts for just 3% of the TV sets sold today.
So you're getting in on the ground floor of Universal Display's exciting growth story while Shiba Inu fades into the cryptocurrency market's background. This stock trades 34% below January's all-time highs and less than 6% above its 52-week lows right now. It's time to pounce on Universal Display stock while it's hanging out in Wall Street's bargain bin.
This stock has crypto exposure, but also benefits from other exciting fintech trends
Billy Duberstein (Marqeta): Cryptocurrency is a new and exciting industry, and altcoin Shiba Inu is currently having its moment in the sun, but let's face it: Shiba Inu is a really speculative bet.
Yet while any one altcoin can be risky, several exciting new fintech companies have all the potential upside of cryptocurrencies, without single-coin risk. One such company is card-issuing fintech Marqeta, which just reported earnings on Wednesday.
Marqeta had its IPO back in June, but it's an 11-year-old company and first-mover in modern card issuing. Management touts that first-mover advantage over new entrants, while also having greater agility and tech-savvy than legacy financial giants. Based on its recent impressive earnings beat, management may very well be right about that.
Thanks to its advanced application programming interfaces (APIs), Marqeta's platform allows companies to build flexible cards, both physical and virtual. Clients range from large U.S. banks like JPMorgan Chase, which uses Marqeta to help deliver digital versions of its corporate and business cards; tech platforms like DoorDash, which use Marqeta to load specific order amounts onto shopper cards; buy now, pay later fintechs like Afterpay; and more recently, cryptocurrency-related companies such as Coinbase Global, which are issuing new card products with crypto-linked spending and rewards programs.
Last quarter, revenue grew 56%, ahead of analyst expectations, and losses per share were also better than expected. Importantly, while the company is still heavily investing in operating expenses to capture its growth opportunity, gross margin expanded by three percentage points over the prior-year quarter. That's a great sign for future margins.
While Marqeta gets an outsize portion of revenue from a single client in Square, Square's concentration of revenue decreased from 72% a year ago to 68% last quarter, and customers outside the top five grew their payments volume a whopping 226%. Even since the quarter ended, Marqeta already announced several impressive new customer wins in October, which bodes well for the future.
Marqeta isn't cheap, trading at over 20 times next year's earnings estimates. But its leading position in the huge addressable market of card payments gives it long-term upside normally associated with crypto, but with more diversification across the broader fintech landscape.

Digging intensifies in woods as search for Trevor's body goes on
An extensive search of the three-acre woodland site in Dublin for the remains of missing man Trevor Deely continued throughout yesterday.
A gun found in the derelict council-owned land at Chapelizod was undergoing a painstaking examination by forensic experts.
A Garda spokesman said last night that digging machinery was doing a significant amount of work at the large site at this point of the planned search.
A team of forensic anthropologists will be intensifying its work after the machinery has completed most of its tasks.
He said the nature of the work yesterday meant there was "a limited amount" that gardaí could complete at this stage.
The planned search of the site would continue "for a number of weeks", he said.
The firearm was located on Tuesday by officers searching the area following fresh information from an informant.
So far, there has been no trace of the 22-year-old bank employee who disappeared following his office Christmas party on a rainy night in 2000.
He was last seen at 4.14am walking in the vicinity of Baggot Street Bridge.
It is believed he was on his way home to his flat in Ballsbridge.
Garda officers said that information that indicated his body had been buried in a three-acre site at Chapelizod was being treated as credible.
The finding of the gun could be the most significant development in the case yet.
However, gardaí have declined to reveal what type of gun was found. It is yet possible the gun may have been from an earlier historical period.
If the gun is a modern firearm that could have been used 17 years ago, it would be a cause of deep interest for ballistic experts.

This week we feature an organization, Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT), for the innovative way they are contributing to the fight against human trafficking. TAT works directly within a key industry, turns bystanders into a force against trafficking, trains law enforcement, and has created a model that can (and has) been transferred to other industries and modes of transportation.
The type of trafficking that TAT primarily works against is domestic sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is when someone uses force or coercion to get someone to do a sex act or any act that causes a child to perform a sex act. “Traffickers recruit out of schools, online, in shopping malls, as well as the streets and other locations… Many of them are used in the sex industry. In fact, what we might have once observed and called “prostitution,” could, in fact, be forced commercial sexual activity. The victims are trafficked at a variety of venues such as on the street, in private homes, and in legitimate business such as restaurants, truck stops, and motels. Human trafficking intersects with several industries, including hospitality, tourism, oil and gas, entertainment, and transportation, amongst others” (Fuessel)
“In January 2015, [Kevin] Kimmel (a certified Trucker Against Trafficking) caught a glimpse of a distraught-looking young girl in the darkened window of an RV, which had pulled into the truck stop where Kimmel had stopped to sleep. He decided things did not look right and called the police. When police responded, they found an Iowa couple in the RV, along with a 20-year-old malnourished and frightened young woman, who said the couple had kidnapped her two weeks earlier in Iowa and forced her into prostitution. The couple was arrested and charged with sex trafficking” (Fuessel)
Human traffickers depend on the transportation industry to operate —from the recruitment stage to the every-day operation of a trafficking enterprise. Transportation hubs serve as popular recruitment grounds for traffickers because runaway youth and other vulnerable persons with nowhere to go can often be found in these places. Truck stops and other rest stations along big highways are also popular locations for traffickers to force victims to solicit sex. Further, victims, once recruited, use trains, buses, cabs and other modes of transportation to get them to where they think they will find legitimate jobs. Traffickers constantly move victims to make tracking them down more difficult and to keep victims from developing relationships with anyone but their traffickers). The transportation industry has a front-row seat to an industry often hidden in plain sight and TAT is capitalizing on this to mobilize truckers. [Source]
TAT’s mission is to “educate, equip, empower, and mobilize members of the trucking and travel plaza industry to combat domestic sex trafficking” (Fuessel). They seek to change the mindset around sex work from the all-too-common reaction of shrugging off prostitutes as criminals or ”loose“ — to considering the story behind the person soliciting sex. It is critical that bystanders consider that, too often, these women are not willingly engaging in sex acts. TAT works closely with the National Human Trafficking Hotline (run by Polaris) and trusted local law enforcement to transform a bystander’s suspicions into action and another victim saved.
This example from 2016, in which a routine premise-check turned into a trafficking ring-bust because of two individuals’ TAT training, shows how TAT is disrupting the trafficking industry: “Field manager Adepiti at the TA Travel Plaza was making a premise check, including the fuel desk, mechanics shop, and hotel, when Alan Bailey, the night porter, told him a young lady had recently come in dressed provocatively; the porter suspected prostitution. After speaking with both the driver of the van that brought the girl, as well as the young lady when she left the hotel, Adepiti believed the girl was being trafficked. He contacted Howard County police. When detectives arrived, they recognized a woman from one of the “X-Factor” ads they’d been investigating for two months on Backpage.com. As a result of Adepiti’s call, they arrested two men and a woman on human trafficking charges. The trio were advertising as many as 12 women from various states, posting ads, renting hotel rooms, scheduling appointments for prostitution and taking money from the women after they were forced to perform sex acts. Detectives also learned all three individuals provided drugs to keep the women high, making them work without sleep, assaulting them and forcing them to perform sex acts with them under threat. Police were able to locate and recover six of the women being abused by the ring of traffickers.” [Source]
The key to changing the populations’ mindset to question these potential-victims’ backstories, is to reach a critical mass of the population. TAT has registered 663,971 individuals to date as certified truckers against trafficking (CTATs), distributed over 1 million wallet cards, partnered with hundreds of trucking companies/ schools/ associations/ truck stops, and trained over 1,000 law enforcement officers. The CTAT certification can be obtained in person or via online webinar and gives truckers who would otherwise be bystanders the tools to identify human trafficking. Wallet cards serve as quick reminders of trafficking red flags and include the National Trafficking Hotline number (click here to print your own). The organizations that TAT partners with allows them to reach a large percentage of the three million truck drivers on the roads in the United States. TAT ’s law enforcement training may be its most important effort in the fight against trafficking. The majority of law enforcement officers trained by TAT have received little or no previous training on handling trafficking cases. (Kylla Lanier, Deputy Director of TAT)
TAT’s model for fighting human trafficking is not only impactful but unique in it’s approach to maximizing impact. It was designed to be easily transferred to other sectors, such as the organization, “Convenience Stores Against Trafficking.” TAT’s model was also replicated in Mexico, in the “Guardianes del Asfalto” program. This type of replication demonstrates how TAT’s impact is being magnified across industries and borders. [Source]

Quirky culture, north of NYC
Olana is the historic home of the Hudson River School painter Frederic Edwin Church. (Barry Winiker/Getty)
Only 20 years ago, the quirky cultural haven of Hudson, New York would have been an unlikely candidate to become a far north weekend colony of New York City.
This small city, about 125 miles north of Manhattan and just across the Hudson River from the bucolic Catskills Region, had spent decades in a steady slide, settling into a largely unremarkable and economically-depressed backwater by the mid 1980s. But before that, in the early 20th Century, Hudson was known as a centre of prostitution and vice, and even earlier still, just after the Revolutionary War in the early 1800s, the city’s main industry – whaling – was one that would hardly appeal to most modern urbane sensibilities. Whales were hunted in the Atlantic Ocean and brought by ship up the Hudson River for processing, a grisly business that is commemorated today with a cheerful cartoon whale symbol on the city’s street signs.
But Hudson did not become a quirky weekend destination by ignoring its sordid history. In fact, Hudson’s seedy past seems to add to its appeal. And the town’s longstanding economic struggles led to a neglected Victorian-era housing stock that attracted artistic types who have transformed the homes of whalers and hookers into boutiques, bed and breakfasts and antique shops.
This transformation was immeasurably aided by the presence of an Amtrak train station at the base of Warren Street, the city’s main drag, from where most of the town’s attractions are within walking distance. This has proven an irresistible magnet for non-driving urbanites who can ride the rails for just more than two hours to leave the city’s crowds and malodours behind.
And the magnetic pull is only gaining power, as this city of just under 7,000 people is steadily attracting marquee names. In the past year alone, the artist Marina Abramovic announced plans to open an Institute for the Preservation of Performance Art in Hudson, designed by the acclaimed architect Rem Koolhaas; two chefs that worked under Wylie Dufresne at Soho’s WD-50 opened a restaurant called Crimson Sparrow; a steady stream of celebrities including Claire Danes and Harrison Ford have been spotted shopping and dining in town; and rumours persist that the hip Ace Hotel chain of Portland, Oregon, and New York City fame is eyeing properties in town. City dwellers will also recognise Le Gamin Country, a casual French restaurant with original locations in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint and Prospect Heights neighbourhoods, and sections of Warren Street have Tribeca-esque names like BeLo3 (Below Third Street).
But this emulation of all things New York City should not detract from the serious creativity that has taken root here. Basilica Hudson, an arts venue in a large 19th-century factory in a desolate area near the rail tracks, looks at first like the perfect place to carry out a crime, but actually hosts a steady series of eclectic programming including contemporary art exhibitions, sewing workshops, classical music concerts and art film screenings. Time and Space Limited, located in a brick building that was once a bakery, hosts art exhibits, quirky theatrical productions and independent movies. Across the street, Helsinki Hudson, also located in a renovated factory building, offers a diverse schedule of established musicians from Shawn Colvin and Pete Seeger to bands that deserve to be better known, like The Big Takeover, a rock/reggae band.
Helsinki Hudson, which opened in 2010, is also a popular restaurant, serving satisfying Southern food like the beautifully plated Aunt Thea’s Fried Chicken in an upscale setting. And this is just one of many newcomers to Hudson’s particularly strong dining scene.

Czech President Milos Zeman, known for his love of alcohol and smoking, was told on Friday to drastically cut down on both after being diagnosed with diabetes, the health minister said.
Martin Holcat, speaking on Czech Radio, said that on the advice of doctors, the president, 68, would have to cut down from his usual 40-to-50 cigarettes a day to about 20.
He also was told to sharply cut back his consumption of alcohol, his taste for which he has never kept secret in a country with the highest intake of beer per capita in the world.
“We agreed with the president that he will significantly reduce this. We talked about one decilitre (just over three ounces) of wine per day,” Holcat said in the radio interview. “This is certainly very unpleasant, it surely did not please the president, but as I know him, he will be able to do this.”
Holcat added that Zeman could risk aggravating his condition if he did not stick to the advice.
The president, elected in the country’s first direct presidential election in January, has been locked in a power struggle with political parties in the past weeks over forming a new government.
Zeman has been known to offer journalists a shot or two of spirits during interviews.
Earlier this year, his office rejected media reports that he had appeared drunk during a ceremony held to display crown jewels of the Czech kingdom.
Zeman’s favourite jokes include one about drinking but never getting drunk.
He also likes to point out that Adolf Hitler was a teetotaller and lost World War II while Winston Churchill drank and won.
There was no comment from Zeman, who has been recovering outside of Prague from dental surgery.

Job prospects with a master's degree in public Health (MPH)Watch this thread
Need more help on going postgrad?
Does anyone in the house know anything about job prospects for graduates with MPH in the labour market nationally or internationally? Any information/experience will be highly appreciated. Many thanks
Careers in Public Health
In public health the focus is on populations and communities rather than individual patients. There are a number of career options in research, public or government services or voluntary organisations and non-governmental organisations. Starting from a common core, students may develop into roles ranging from public health analysts, health services researchers, communicable disease control consultants, environmental epidemiologists, health policy advisors or directors of public health.
Public health is a multidisciplinary speciality with entrants from a range of professional backgrounds including clinical (medicine, dentistry, nursing, professions allied to medicine) and non-clinical (a good first degree in a subject relevant to public health, usually a health science or environmental degree). An MPH can be a valuable asset to developing a career as a public health specialist either in the UK or abroad. The career trajectory after an MPH will depend partly on experience gained before starting the MPH or immediately after.
- The Faculty of Public Health
- Public Health Consultant - An MPH is usually done before, or during, the early part of specialist public health training
An MPH will address many, but not all aspects of the syllabus for the Part A MFPH exam, which is taken early in the specialist training period. With increased competition for public health training, many successful non-medical applicants apply after completed an MPH and securing three years relevant experience.
Opportunities - UK
- Research – apply for PhD funding. There is an extensive peer group of PhD researchers at Imperial within the Epidemiology and Public Health division
- Service – apply for public health analyst or posts in the health service or with local government. There are many resources of information:
- NHS jobs
- Guardian Jobs - Public Health
- Health Service Journal (HSJ)
- The Association of Public Health Observatories
- Local Government jobs
- Voluntary, Private or NGO sector – apply to a range of organisations who need public health skills including pharmaceutical companies and charities, such as Oxfam.
Opportunities - International
Students can make enquiries about specialist training schemes in individual countries. Opportunities also exist for:
- Research – apply for PhD funding – there is an extensive international research underway at Imperial and opportunities for PhD funding could be explored for interested students
- Service – apply for public health analyst or posts in health or government councils
- Voluntary, Private or NGO sector – apply to a range of organisations who may need public health skills.
Taken from: http://www1.imperial.ac.uk/publichea...ealth/careers/
"Our public health masters graduates go on to work in very diverse areas, although many find work in a health or public health setting. Of particular note is that a significant percentage go on to undertake further doctoral/PhD study or to work in research or academic settings, which we feel reflects the quality of our research-led teaching in preparing and inspiring students.
Recent graduates from public health course are now working in the UK, in information analyst roles, in senior public health management positions, in health promotion activities, researching in universities, and as public health specialist in the local authority and in the NHS. Internationally, students have found excellent opportunities in governments, health departments, universities, hospitals, as well as non-governmental organisations, undertaking leadership roles, public health programme interventions and evaluations, research, and policy-making."

West Florida (Spanish:Florida Occidental) was a region on the north shore of the Gulf of Mexico, which underwent several boundary and sovereignty changes during its history. The province was established by the British in 1763 out of lands ceded from the Spanish and French. As its name suggests, it was formed out of the Western part of formerly Spanish Florida (East Florida formed the eastern part), along with lands taken from French Louisiana; West Florida's capital was Pensacola. The colony included most of what is now the Florida Panhandle, plus parts of the modern U.S. states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
British West Florida comprised parts of the modern U.S. states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Effective British control ended in 1781 when Spain captured Pensacola. The territory subsequently became a colony of Spain, parts of which were gradually annexed piecemeal by the United States beginning in 1810.
In 1762 during the Seven Years' War a British expedition attacked and occupied Havana, the capital of Cuba. To secure the return of this valuable city, Spain agreed to cede its territory of La Florida to Great Britain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris. France also ceded a large segment of New France to Great Britain, including everything on the east bank of the Mississippi River, except for the city of New Orleans. The British divided these new territories into two separate colonies East Florida, with its capital in St Augustine and West Florida, with the former Spanish settlement of Pensacola as its capital. By a separate treaty Spain was given the western side of the Mississippi, which formed Spanish Louisiana with its capital at New Orleans at the mouth of the river. Many of the existing Spanish inhabitants of Florida were evacuated to Cuba, and new British and American settlers arrived to take over the land.
The city is located between The Autopista Pascual Palazzo (mostly known as "Panamericana" or "Acceso Norte") highway and the Maipú Avenue. The Acceso Norte splits the district into two neighborhoods: Florida Este (from Panamericana to Maipú Avenue) and Florida Oeste (from Panamericana to De los Constituyentes Avenue).
Florida is served by the Mitre Line, which provides easy access to the city of Buenos Aires. Due to the railway lines, Este and Oeste neighborhoods are also called "Florida Mitre" or "Florida Belgrano". Its main commercial area is centered on General San Martín avenue.
Florida was founded in 1891 when the Buenos Aires and Rosario Railway opened a station in the section from Belgrano that then reached Bartolomé Mitre, Borges and San Isidro. Some versions state that the station (and subsequently the village) was named "Florida" to commemorate a victory over Spanish army in the Paraje La Florida of Alto Perú on May 25, 1814, during the War of Independence.
The station is located below the Avinguda Catalunya, between the Carrer Ceravalls and Carrer Mimoses. It has two entrances, from the Placa Blocs Florida and the Avinguda Masnou, which serve an underground ticket hall. The two 98-metre (322ft) long side platforms are at a lower level.

September 22 – November 13, 2021
Katinka Lampe has long shaped her portraits in the interstices between figuration and abstraction. Bypassing depiction, Lampe imbues her work with hints of broader societal motifs, leaving subtle signs for the viewer to follow into a deeper look. Her most recent series Bubble, on view at Elizabeth Houston Gallery from September 22 to November 13, 2021, is a true sign of the times.
Made in 2020, Lampe’s paintings echo with concerns and considerations endemic to the year of their production. Working in confinement during a global pandemic, her private experiences had become universal ones, but in the most unusual of ways. Quarantine had thrust so many into private worlds of their own, the world over. The space of the home suddenly became the bubble separating us from others, and from other viewpoints. Like internet activist Eli Pariser’s concept of the “filter bubble,” our individual informational spheres carved out by invisible algorithmic editing of the web, the “home bubble” had narrowed our experiences to the familiar. But for Lampe, reworking the stillness of that space into a creative focus had become her novel distraction from the otherwise unchanging progression of days.
Her paintings are portraits of the solitude of 2020. In each, we are at pains to say where her depiction ends and impressions begin. Veiling her models, Lampe obscures their faces, revealing only a sliver of a profile turned away from the viewer in some instances. Colored layers that bisect her portraits and cut her canvases into sections preclude any overly literal associations. Other faces press against the edges of the frame, refusing eye contact, or hide themselves from our gaze behind their hands, blankets, or clothing. One wears a balaclava.
Lampe’s work is more a study of alienation and silence than it is a representation of others. In keeping with that emotional undercurrent, she has restrained her palette. In muted gray tones or pitch black, Lampe explores the absence of light falling on features. She has honed in on the details in this series, and yet her portraits are not of anyone or even anything in particular. One imagines that some of her figures might be found lingering in the background of old master paintings. There is no one taking center stage here. The bubble itself makes an appearance, metaphorically, of course, and literally, too, in the form of chewing gum. A rosy pink orb conceals her models’ faces. Casting their glances downward toward it, they look more bored than satisfied, more absent than present.
In Bubble, Lampe has painted her experience of the pandemic, oscillating between seeking and denying, between presence and absence. And yet, as is her custom, she has removed herself as much as possible from her work. This series is unique in that we—in our separate but similar bubbles—are there in the paintings, and removed from them, too.

The outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election which saw Republican Donald Trump victorious has shed an uncertain light onto healthcare as the president-elect has repeatedly vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) but will not release details until the January inauguration. To add to the confusion, since his election Trump has indicated that he may be willing to maintain some parts of the ACA.
Proposed reforms are hampering decision-making and could slow progress on HIT initiatives as well as others.
At a time of year when many healthcare organisations are conducting budgeting and strategic planning, decision-making could be seriously paralysed.
There are sections of the healthcare sector, though, that will not be likely to undergo any significant or immediate change relieving uncertainty in key areas:
They are as follows:
Secular Trends to Continue
Disruption led by technology, healthcare consumerism, increased use of data analytics and innovation in healthcare business models are unlikely to be stalled by the new government. Such trends are not legalisation-linked but led by technological advances and consumer choices.
Business model innovation is likely to thrive as senior healthcare leaders look at how they can offset revenues affected by the movement to value based care.
See Also: Trump Wins Presidency: U.S. Healthcare Leaders Forced to Rethink Future
MACRA: Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorisation Act
MACRA, passed in 2015, is bipartisan legislation so is unlikely to have see revisions in the near future. MACRA is the sole largest regulation behind provider business models, uncertainty surrounding reimbursements and revenues will not be an issue under the new presidency.
Cost Optimisation Focus Good Business Practice
Cost optimisation has been in focus in recent years driving the executive agenda. The industry still has opportunities to see IT or supply chain cost savings. The uncertainty ahead offers a good opportunity for revisiting the cost base and redesigning optimal operating models.
The lack of certainty for healthcare following the U.S. presidential poll does not have to lead to decision-making paralysis especially where secular trends are dominating. These can help in planning ahead of the January inauguration.

Tony Blair: New Labour leader shouldn’t campaign to rejoin EU
- Credit: PA
Remain-backing former prime minister Tony Blair says that the next Labour leader should not campaign to rejoin the EU for the time-being.
Blair was speaking at a 120th anniversary of the Labour Party when he said the party could have stopped Brexit if it was "a serious opposition", but said that now it had to focus on uniting the country.
"On the Brexit side of things I am really willing to listen to both sides of the argument. I am willing to really listen to what people are saying about it.
"I think in a curious way Boris Johnson and I have the same position which is I don't think you can ever unite the country over Brexit.
"You can unite them after Brexit.
You may also want to watch:
"If we had stopped Brexit which I think we could have done if we had a serious Opposition, you would immediately then have to deal with all the problems that arose from Brexit.
"You would have had to take a whole series of measures to make sure you were pulling those people back towards having in a sense alienated them by not doing Brexit.
- 1 The Prime Minister is out of his league
- 2 Can King Louis turn back the clock?
- 3 Party politics will not save us from the Tories - we need drastic action
- 4 Empty shelves are partly down to Brexit - but Leavers won't admit it
- 5 The cannabis conundrum
- 6 Priti Patel - the poster girl for our poisonous politics
- 7 Why Germany's Greens failed to rise on floods
- 8 Cost of Brexit is already 38 times more than the money set aside for levelling up
- 9 Rabbits defeat French army
- 10 Boris Johnson: The sado-populist prime minister
"I think what Boris Johnson is doing is wrapping it around the other way.
"He's going to do Brexit and reach out to all these northern places and try and keep those Brexit people with them."
Asked about the next Labour leader campaigning to rejoin the EU, the former party leader dismissed the suggestion.
"No, you just can't, I'm afraid," he said.
But he did not rule out a future effort once Brexit had been given 'a chance'.
He continued: "In the long term, who knows? The Tories will own Brexit whatever happens and I think you've got to give it a chance to be done."

We finally had some freezes this year. After two consecutive winters that were so extraordinarily warm they didn’t cause any freeze damage to vegetation in my location (north Marion county, Florida, USA), temperatures this season finally dipped below the freezing point. Cold enough to cause something like what used to be typical winter die-back in sensitive plants. But compared to the majority of winters I’ve seen in my experiences here in Florida (since 1996), this was an extremely mild winter.
This was the coldest it’s been here in three years, since January 2018, when temps dipped to the low to mid twenties. For perspective, I’ve seen it get to 15 F here in a cold winter. Winters for the last decade have been much milder than previously. I’m not sure if that’s an effect of the warming global climate or not, since an extreme winter cold snap can happen as a result of a wavy jet stream allowing a cold air mass to push southward, which can happen even in a context of overall rising average global temperatures. (The Texas freeze this February illustrated this phenomenon, with temperatures dropping to 11F in Houston, which is about at the same latitude I am at.)
The results of this winter on plants:
Banana plants in open areas exposed to the sky lost all their leaves to frost (but were resprouting leaves by March). All developing stalks of fruit were destroyed on these plants, so we won’t get any more ripe bananas until probably July at the earliest, whereas for the last two years, we’ve had year-round banana harvests. Banana plants in sheltered areas under evergreen oaks lost some leaf area, but maintained some green leaves right through the winter (unfortunately because of the shade, these plants make few fruits).
Chaya, which used to freeze to the ground every winter at my property, has not frozen back at all the past two winters. This year the plants froze back partially, and are now resprouting anywhere from two to four feet up. (I plan to cut them back to the ground to clean up the mess of dead sticks).
Ficus sycomorus – Several years ago I stuck a plant of this species in the ground near my house as a source of cuttings for grafting figs onto. At the time, I figured it would freeze down to the ground every winter, so I didn’t worry about how big it would get. After two years with no freezes, the plant has grown into a small tree, dominating the area. This winter it completely defoliated and partially froze back to major limbs, but it’s sprouting back now. I think I’m going to chainsaw it to the ground and graft an edible fig onto it.
Mulberries – All of the mulberry varieties I grow were fully dormant during the late December freeze, and they handled it fine. During the early February freeze, one variety, the one I’m calling ‘Bryces Worlds Best’, had broken dormancy, and had emerging new leaves and flowers. To preserve these, I wrapped sheets around most of the top of the tree. But it turns out that effort was not necessary – even the branches that poked out of my crude covering were fine, and and are loaded with fruits at the time of this writing (late March).
Ficus racemosa – I lightly wrapped sheets around the lower portion of this tree, and it froze back to where it was covered. It’s sprouting back vigorously.
Ficus palmata ‘Icebox’ This once went completely deciduous, losing all its leaves, but suffered no dieback.
Cordia myxa – The two trees I have of this species also got sheets wrapped lightly around their lower portion, and they froze back approximately to the level I covered them. They are also vigorously sprouting back.
Cereus peruvianus – I have a number of fruiting kadushi cactus plants in various locations planted out in the ground. I covered some with sheets, but even the ones I left uncovered showed no signs of frost damage.

This easy salad uses slaw mix, peas, bacon bits, water chestnuts and a simple homemade dressing. It’s perfect for potlucks and family gatherings, but easy enough for a plain old weeknight.
Not only is this salad easy, it also holds up well. Unlike the lettuce version (which is also fantastic), this one holds its shape. You can make it early and it still tastes fresh later.
And if you have leftovers (unlikely if you take it to a potluck), it doesn’t go limp. Even the next day the slaw stays crisp.
This is a common salad to find on the potluck table, but it’s usually made with lettuce. Sometimes there are peas in it and sometimes cauliflower. Both are wonderful!
Here’s what you’ll need:
Somehow, the peas didn’t make it into the photo.
Layered Cole Slaw – Perfect for Potlucks and Family Gatherings
- 10 oz frozen peas
- 16 oz slaw mix
- 8 oz can water chestnuts drained
- 1/4 cup bacon bits
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Cook peas just a few minutes, drain and run under cold water.
- Layer slaw mix, peas, water chestnuts and bacon bits in a large bowl.
- In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, parmesan, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Spread dressing on top of salad.
- Top with cheese.
- Toss before serving.

Parkland, Florida – Parents who are driving their children to and from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and Westglades Middle School, should be prepared for a road construction project in the area.
According to The Florida Department of Transportation, this week, a half-mile stretch of Holmberg Road between Pine Island Road and Heron Bay Boulevard will be rebuilt, starting on May 26 and ending later this year.
According to the transportation department, the improvements include:
– Widening the roadway at the entrance of MSD to accommodate a dedicated right-turn lane.
– Milling and resurfacing the street.
– Restriping the roadway for bicycle lanes.
– Upgrading sidewalk and curb ramps as well as pedestrian signals, pavement markings, and signing.
According to the transportation department, the $609,561 project will be managed by Florida Engineering & Development Corp.
On Thursday, at 6 p.m., at the Parkland Library Transportation, officials are hosting a community meeting to go over the project.


Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris received criticism from her own party this week over the spot that she will be visiting on Friday on the U.S.-Mexico border, with one Democrat lawmaker calling it a politically safe trip.
Harris was called out earlier this week by Republicans for selecting to visit El Paso as opposed to the Rio Grande Valley Sector, which is more than 1,000 miles away and is the part of the border that has been hit hardest by Biden’s border crisis. “Why would Harris choose to visit El Paso over other areas of the border, like RGV or Arizona?” a Washington Post reporter wrote on Twitter. “In El Paso, she can be hosted by Rep. Veronica Escobar, who has been reliably supportive. In RGV, Laredo, AZ, Dem lawmakers have been critical of Biden admin, want more enforcement.”
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), whose district is in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, told Fox News this week that Harris’ trip was a politically safe trip.
“I have no idea,” Cuellar said when asked why the Biden administration has waited so long to visit the border, “but I’m sure her planners told her that if you’re going to go down to the border, go to a, something that’s safer to go to that is politically safer. If you go down to the lower Rio Grande with the high activity and you’re there with kids and families, prosecutorial discretion, where people are being released, high numbers of people crossing the border, you know, politically that’s — it’s harder to do that, I know that.”
“I mean, that’s part of my district, but you got to do what you got to do,” Cuellar added. “You just can’t, you know, just go to one place, but she does do the ‘check the box and go down to the border’ by going to El Paso.”
Texas Democrat Cuellar: Kamala Harris is taking a "politically safe," "check the box" trip to the border pic.twitter.com/EHoVlhYK5k
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) June 24, 2021
Harris’ decision to visit the border came after former President Donald Trump announced last week that he would be visiting the border because it had been abandoned by Democrat President Joe Biden and Harris.
“If this weren’t bad enough, Biden and Harris won’t even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation at a time when the White House is doing everything it can to make their job totally impossible,” Trump added. “What Biden and Harris have done, and are continuing to do on our border, is a grave and willful dereliction of duty. My visit will hopefully shine a spotlight on these crimes against our Nation—and show the incredible people of ICE and Border Patrol that they have our unshakeable support.”
Biden’s border crisis continued to worsen last month as more illegal aliens were apprehended at the southern border than at any other point in the history of the Department of Homeland Security, which was created in 2002.
Harris’ office claimed that pressure from Republicans did not contribute to Harris visiting the border, despite the fact that she suggested during a disastrous trip to Central America that visiting the border was a “grand gesture.” Harris was repeatedly grilled by NBC News and Spanish media.
“This administration does not take their cues from Republican criticism, nor from the former President of the United States of America,” Harris’ office claimed in a statement. “We have said, over a number of different occasions—and the vice president has said, over the course—over the last three months, that she would go to the border. She has been before. She would go again. She would go when it was appropriate, when it made sense.”
News also broke on Thursday that multiple aides for Harris are quitting.

People demanding to reopen the Illinois economy, hit hard by coronavirus-related closures, protest in front of a James R. Thompson Center in Chicago, Illinois, on Friday. AFP
After rolling out trillions of dollars in support for the US economy during the coronavirus pandemic, Federal Reserve officials have begun warning of potentially lasting scars to the workforce and productivity if the recovery is not handled well.
In separate comments on Friday, the heads of three Fed regional banks said the aggressive efforts already taken to keep companies and firms afloat are only the start of what will be required to get the economy back to normal, with worker retraining, retooled social safety nets, and other steps needed once the health crisis eases.
“We need to be working on the economy’s recovery rate” after the crisis, said Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin, noting that companies may be operating less efficiently under social distancing rules, business investment may be hampered by eroded confidence, and workers may pull back from the labour market as they rethink how to care for children and aging parents in an era when day care facilities and nursing homes pose higher risks.
Barkin spoke amid a patchwork end to the coronavirus-spurred lockdowns that has seen some states throw open their economies already and others maintain restrictions, while companies and their employees struggle to find the right balance. Workers that remain on the job face risks - meat processing plants have been forced offline due to outbreaks among workers - while companies that do reopen likely face higher costs and fewer customers.
“We will return to somewhat normal operations - at a gradual pace,” Barkin told the Maryland Chamber of Commerce in a webcast. But “I worry about the landing spot - how strong the economy will be at the end of this.”
A likely slow US economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis may be hampered by workers’ inability to return to the job and the impact of social distancing and other new health rules on business productivity, Barkin said.
“Our response to this crisis is to close schools and day care. We are also threatening traditional forms of elder care,” Barkin told the Maryland Chamber of Commerce in a webcast. “Dual-career couples and single parents face daunting challenges. Without more support many risk leaving the work force.”
“The great number of waiters and retail clerks dislocated by the pandemic may struggle to move into new careers ... Businesses are already refocusing on resilience, perhaps at the expense of efficiency ... Increased debt loads, reduced bank lending capacity and diminished confidence has to have a meaningful impact on investment levels.”
The Fed this week restated a pledge to keep interest rates low and continue other emergency programs, offering trillions of dollars in credit across the economy, as long as needed to keep the economy stable while the country fights the pandemic.
But policymakers also have begun cautioning that, even after the immediate health crisis eases, the economic recovery will be slow.
Barkin said, for example, he expected the US unemployment rate to not just spike perhaps as high as 20% in the coming weeks, but to likely remain in double digits through the summer.
Even if economic growth resumes later this year, he said the more systemic damage left behind may need further government attention to restore consumer confidence or encourage investment.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan expressed similar concerns that the path out of the crisis may be both slow and complex.
Not only will the unemployment rate spike to catastrophic levels as high as 20% in the coming months, for example, but it will likely remain high until the end of the year or longer, Kaplan said in an interview on Fox Business Network.
“We’re going to end the year probably with an unemployment rate as high as 8 to 10%,” Kaplan said, a figure that would mean perhaps 10 million more unemployed over the next several months compared to the start of the year. “We’re going to need stimulus going into the rest of the year and into next year so we grow faster, so we work down this unemployment rate.” That stands in contrast to initial hopes for an economic rebound as swift and historic as the decline of recent weeks.
Bullard, in a Wall Street Journal interview, said he worried about the prospect of an economic depression if both the shutdown goes on too long and the reopening is not handled well.
“I think we are taking depression risk here if we are not careful and if we don’t execute this properly over the next couple of months,” Bullard said, suggesting a “far more granular, far more risk-based” approach to the timing of states or industries coming back online.
“You can hit the pause button on the US economy, but if you try to keep it on pause for too long, too many other problems will start to accrue and you’ll start to get lots of bankruptcies and lots of business failures,” Bullard said.
Fed officials see the US unemployment rate not to just spike perhaps as high as 20% in the coming weeks, but likely to remain in double digits through the summer.

Reversible, rectangular games board, teak veneered with ebony, citronwood, ivory and micromosaic, Gujarat or Sindh, late 16th or early 17th century.
Chess board on one side; ornately decorated reverse side for a so far unidentified game; teak veneered with ebony, citronwood, ivory and micromosaic motifs.
The use of tropical woods shows that this reversible games board was made in the Indian subcontinent. One side has alternating squares of ebony and ivory for chess; the other has divisions and ornate decoration for a game which has yet to be identified. Travellers to the regions of Sindh and Gujarat in the 16th century often refer to the local manufacture of finely worked ivory-inlaid games boards made there, of which this may be a rare surviving example.

Pulled Pork Egg Rolls
January 14, 2012
This past Thanksgiving we did something a little non-traditional, we had an appetizer party. The Green Bay Packers were playing Detroit and we had a large group over to watch the game. Everyone was asked to bring an appetizer or two, and the rule was that it could not have been something that you had made before. It gave us a chance to try a bunch of new recipes and not having traditional Thanksgiving meal items was a nice break for the folks who were going to multiple family gatherings that day.
One of the recipes that turned into a big hit that day was Pulled Pork Egg Rolls. These were inspired by a post on The Smoke Ring by Brutalgrandpa. I have decided to make these again for a Packer party that we are having tomorrow. The dipping sauce and the cole slaw taste best when made the day ahead. In addition, I thawed a quart bag of left over pulled pork from our Christmas porkilicious cookout.
The slaw is basic and a little drier than many, but it works great for wrapping into egg rolls.
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bag pre-shredded coleslaw mix 1/2 red onion, sliced to match thickness of bagged slaw mix
Mix all of the ingredients together in a non-reactive bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Peach Dipping Sauce
- 3/4 cup peach preserves
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Mix until incorporated and refrigerate overnight.
The Egg Rolls
For those of you who have not made egg rolls before, the key is to wrap the rolls correctly. First, place the wrapper in front of you with one of the corners pointed up (like a diamond). Next, place the filling in the middle of the wrapper.
To start the rolling, the sides are folded back towards the middle of the wrapper.
Next you roll from the bottom up towards the top. You want to keep the egg roll very tight at this point as well as watch to ensure that the ends stay tucked tight. The end flap is rubbed with some egg wash to keep the egg roll sealed.
I made 15 of these for the game today. Notice the little one in the front right corner. I ended up with only half of a wrapper in the package. It must have been a Friday afternoon at the egg roll wrapper quality assurance station.
The egg rolls were then put in the fryer until browned.
These turned out great! Much better than the Packer game that they were eaten during.

A long-running case on whether you're allowed access to view your own mobile phone metadata -- retained by Australia's telecommunications companies for government snooping, including comprehensive call logs and location data -- and whether that data is classified as "personal information" has come to an unceremonious end.

text: This study aimed to measure the biochemical markers including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine kinase (CK), total proteins, albumin, globulin, albumin / globulin (A/G) ratio, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and total bilirubin in sera of dairy cows from the period of February-2016 to March-2018. For this purpose, 78 dairy cows of >3 years old reared at some areas of Baghdad province were subjected to blood sampling from the jugular vein. Study values (mean ± standard error) of ALT, AST, GGT, A/G ratio and total bilirubin markers were found outside the normal ranges of international reference values. Conversely, ALP, CK, total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose and BUN were found within the normal ranges of international reference values. To investigate changes that occur during late stage of pregnancy, study animals were dividedinto two groups (non-pregnant lactating and pregnant dairy cows). Statistically, significant decrease (P<0.05) was encountered in values (M ± SE) of ALT, AST, and GGT enzymes; and significant increase (P<0.05) in ALP and CK values of pregnant compared to non-pregnant dairy cows. Data concerning the serum proteins, results also indicated a significant increase (P<0.05) in values of total protein, whereas there no significant differences (P>0.05) were showed in values of albumin, globulin and A/G ratio. Pregnant dairy cows were showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in values of BUN and total bilirubin; however, glucose appeared without significant differences (P>0.05). It has been concluded that the lactation and gestation periods have a great impact on activity of biochemical indices in blood of dairy cows; therefore, there is a need for constant periodic monitoring for the described indices in this study to maintenance on animal’s health status.

Juggler Ron Anglin performs with unicyclist Jimmy Robinson at the Aurora Theatre's Children's Playhouse on August 20.
It isn’t just the grownups who get to enjoy Aurora Theatre’s stellar lineup of theatrical offerings. Gwinnett’s professional theater has quite a schedule of shows for the younger crowd, and it all starts Aug. 20 with “The Ron J Show — Juggling and Unicycle Duo,” featuring the dynamic Ron Anglin.
The Aurora Theatre, located at 128 E. Pike St. in Lawrenceville, has announced 18 performances from August through May that are aimed at children.
“Aurora Theatre has assembled the best children’s performers in the region, bringing them to Gwinnett County in order to give parents and their children a chance to experience their artistry in our amazing facility,” Aurora spokesman Al Stilo said.
“This year, Aurora will offer a tremendous variety, with more shows than ever before, and many exciting new performers as well as audience favorites. The slate of performances for this August is a perfect example, featuring a juggling and unicycle duo, puppets and traditional dance from India.”
The Aurora Children’s Playhouse Series shows are held on Saturdays at 10 a.m. unless otherwise noted. The shows are about 45 minutes in length. Tickets are $7 for all ages, and a special “Playhouse Tix” opportunity allows 10 admissions to be used any time for $50.
The series kicks off with juggler Ron Anglin and unicyclist Jimmy Robertson presenting “Quite A Catch.” The show is packed with clever stunts and amazing feats of skill that highlight teamwork, discourage cheating and dispel stereotypes.
Anglin has performed more than 4,300 shows. A former Army helicopter pilot and high school teacher, he says “I never left the classroom. I just found a bigger one.” He has performed extensively in Georgia and in 23 states. His shows and workshops teach science, geography, character traits or summer reading themes. Lessons are illustrated by ball juggling and bouncing, club juggling, box manipulation, plate-spinning, Chinese yo-yos, rhythm-sticks, dice stacking, soap bubble tricks, Shaker cups, a balance board, a unicycle, the Japanese kendama and old school rapping.
Young audiences have a lot to anticipate in the weeks to come. On Aug. 27 the stage will be filled with the puppetry of “All Hands Productions’ who are fresh from a sold-out, eight-week run at Atlanta’s Center for Puppetry Arts. Their show is titled “Billy Goats Gruff and Other Stuff” which retells classic fairy tales and a few original stories.
The performance on Sept. 3 will be “Kuchipudi: Telling a Story through Indian Dance.” The Academy of Kuchipudi Dance, Inc. presents a beautiful and unusual combination of dance and drama, taking its name from the village where it was popularized during the 14th and 15th centuries. Performers are dressed in the traditional Kuchipudi costume of shimmering patterned silks and jingling ankle bells. Dancer Sasikala will mesmerize the audience with her mastery of the art form’s intricate footwork, flowing movements, rhythmic syllables and dramatic facial expressions as she tells stories from Indian folklore.
Future shows will feature “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” Aesops Fables, more puppets, “If You Give A Mouse a Cookie,” The Wow Show, Latin American Folktales, and something with the fascinating name of “Beethoven and The Big Note Band” among other performers and themes.

customers with very little commitment.” data-reactid=”12″>Porsche is committed to providing customers with very little commitment.
The automaker is adding a new, lower-cost single-car tier to its Porsche Drive subscription program, which was launched in Atlanta in 2017 and is currently available Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and Los Angeles.” data-reactid=”13″>The automaker is adding a new, lower-cost single-car tier to its Porsche Drive subscription program, which was launched in Atlanta in 2017 and is currently available Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego, and Los Angeles.
While the original program gives subscribers access to a fleet of sports cars, sedans and SUVs that they can swap between as often as they like, with maintenance and insurance included, the new option locks them into one model for one or three months.
Several automakers have experimented with similar schemes with different levels of success. Access by BMW is currently operating only in Nashville, while GM has suspended its Book by Cadillac program for retooling.
Porsche has had only 325 subscribers to date, but they’re younger than a typical Porsche buyer, stick with the program for an average of four months and change cars via an app on a weekly basis.
“We’re not just doing it. We’re doing it because so far we have seen it to be successful,” Porsche North America CEO Klaus Zellmer said.
“If you are customer-centric, if you are into flexibility that your customers demand, if you are searching for new target groups, and just one figure that hasn’t changed in almost three years now is that 80 percent of our members in those subscription programs are new to the brand.”
Zellmer said that having cars that people “desire to drive” is a plus, and that about 10 percent of subscribers do go on to purchase a Porsche. He’s not sure yet if that figure is good or bad, because the program is meant to stand apart from the company’s traditional model.
“We don’t consider this a sales tool. It’s really for the brand, because it’s individuals who cater to connect people to Porsche design the Porsche performance to our customer experience,” he said.
Porsche sold a record 61,568 vehicles in the U.S. in 2019 and 26,290 through the first half of this year.

Pricing for the single-car plan runs from $1,500 per month for a Macan SUV to $2,600 for a 911 Carrera compared to $2,100 to $3,100 for the multi-car plans. A $595 activation fee is waived for customers who opt for a three-month single-car program. The cars are delivered and maintained via a concierge service, as long as the subscriber is within 20 miles of the dealership operating the fleet, which is refreshed every six to 12 months.For comparison, a 36-month lease for a base Macan with no money down would cost approximately $819 per month without insurance, according to Porsche’s consumer website.
Porsche’s electric Taycan isn’t currently offered due to current sales demand, but will be added next year.
Zellmer says Porsche Drive holds particular appeal to people who relocate temporarily for work.
“The flexibility, especially in areas like L.A., that comes in so handy,” he said. “You have this movie director who’s only there for three to four months who needs a car for that period of time, so not a rental car and not a lease and not owning one, but is ready for something hassle-free.”
However, to help its dealers maximize the utility of the fleets, Porsche also offers a daily rental program that starts at $245 per day.

Florian Laussedat, jakarta Member Since January 2011 Artist Statement My name is Florian Laussedat, I'm french, and I'm 25 years old. Since as far as I can remember, I've always been a passionate drawer. I've learned how to draw comics on my own to become a comics drawer, my biggest childhood's dream. So of course, instead of listening to my school teachers, I've spent my time drawing comics. After being graduated from high school, I've joined the 'comic and illustration' class in Pivaut school, a famous private drawing school (Nantes, France). There I've discovered illustration... In my art, I use a lot of different tools : Photo-shop, acrylics, and watercolor ; so it's half illustration, half comics style. I like to try different things, in life as in art, and I easily can adapt myself to anything new i want to do.
Hope you will enjoy my work and maybe help me to live of my art...
I'm looking to sell illustrations, get some contract. Open for every kind of orders of illustration, by tagswords, or just by explanations, pictures, of what you wish, just contact me by email. (every price can be negotiated)

Safe Fish Consumption from New Mexico Lakes and Rivers
Fish are nutritious and are an important part of a healthy diet. However, some fish may contain contaminants at levels that could lead to health problems.
The State of New Mexico periodically collects fish from water bodies across the State and analyzes those fish for contaminants. Based on the results of those analyses, we have developed recommendations for fish consumption (expressed in meals per month). To learn about safe fish consumption see these resources:
In some New Mexico fish, three particular contaminants have been detected at levels that could result in health problems from long term fish consumption, such as for weeks, months, or longer. These contaminants are mercury
, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT). Eating fish for which there is a consumption advisory may not make you feel sick, but long term consumption of such fish could increase your risk for a variety of health problems. Use the guide listed above to learn how you can minimize your comsumption of these contaminants and how you can properly clean and prepare the fish you catch.
The images below illustrate the slides from a presentation on the fish tissue sampling project.

text: PreS-Gr 3 For all Bear Child's charm, this is a disappointing picture book. It is cluttered, spiritless and not up to Rockwell's usual illuminating simplicity. Bear Child takes children through the year, changing clothes to suit the seasons. Over time his house and yard change, as do the activities of the neighbors. Although Bear Child's wardrobe and home are given full-page attention, his neighbors ' work and play are crowded together in a jumble of small full-color drawings. The pages following this communal scene isolate and spotlight the busy bears' activities. Bear Child is not easy to spot here, which may confuse, or at least disappoint, children. Some of the work and play illustrated is not unquestioningly associated with a time of year, but others unmistakenly identify a season (at least in the northeastern USA). All of the smaller labeled drawings of ursine activity are engaging. Rockwell's book is a simpler, more straightforward introduction to the seasons than the Provensens' The Year at Maple Hill Farm (Atheneum, 1978). It is less concentrated than Burningham's Seasons (Bobbs-Merrill, 1970; o.p.) , more clearly didactic than Tafuri's All Year Long (Greenwillow, 1984). Undoubtedly a useful book, especially for preschool collections, but not a memorable one. Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, Va.
