History of Antique Tableware
Tableware is associated with the most essential human activities: eating, drinking and socialising. We may take them for granted, but plates, bowls, glasses, and cutlery all have a long and complex history.
The Mayfair Gallery history of antique tableware reveals this fascinating story, from the creation of the very first spoon to the present day.
The earliest utensils
Although we might not associate our early ancestors with fine dining, there is evidence that cavemen used basic objects as implements for eating.
The oldest tableware implement that came into being was an early form of spoon. This is partly because, unlike knives and forks that have to be fashioned, spoon shaped utensils can be formed from natural resources.
In prehistoric times, our ancestors used seashells and hollowed stones to scoop up their food.
Although these early instruments didn't resemble 'spoons' in the conventional sense, they nonetheless represent the very earliest use of tableware.
Gradually, the people of these ancient civilisations began to create more complex utensils.
Sticks and bone handles were added to the naturally occurring, spoon-like implements, resulting in more sophisticated dining.
Similarly, in the Stone Age, our ancestors crafted mugs from carved bone and fired clay.
Spoons in ancient Egypt
While there is no definitive date that can be attributed to the invention of cutlery as we know it today, there is evidence of spoons with conventional handles from ancient Egypt.
As early as 1000 BC, the ancient Egyptians were using elaborate ivory, wood and precious metal spoons for a variety of applications.
Often these spoons would be elaborately decorated with hieroglyphs and images of ancient Egyptian mythology.
It is interesting that these first spoons were used not just for eating, but for ritualistic purposes and ceremonies of medicinal healing.
In addition, spoons were often used for cosmetic purposes.
A brilliant example of this is a 6th Century BC spoon made of carob wood, shown below, which was used for the application of eyeliner for wealthy ancient Egyptians.

The spoon features a depiction of a young, lithe girl as its handle. Her beauty reflects the cosmetic nature of the item, and reminds the user of its purpose.
Clearly, in ancient Egypt spoons had a more significant and important status than simply being functional objects for eating.
Indeed, it appears when these early spoons were used for dining purposes by the upper echelons of society, they were highly ornate and decorative.
The ancient Egyptian Pharaohs used spoons made of fine gold and silver, which were engraved with beautiful artistic embellishments.
Thus even from its very beginning, high quality tableware was representative of more complex ideas than just functionality, becoming synonymous with wealth, power and status.
Drinkware and the rituals of ancient Greece
A similar phenomenon was true of tableware in ancient Greek society: the more elaborate the piece, the wealthier its owner.
For the Greeks, communal dining and eating out was considered to be a very important aspect of society.
The Greeks in particular placed high importance on convivial drinking and eating.
In ancient Athenian society, social groups would regularly hold symposia, which broadly translates to a formalised drinking party.

These all male, stylised gatherings formed part of the banquet, but took place after the main meal had occurred.
Symposia were an aristocratic institution: an opportunity for men of the ruling classes to drink, debate, plot, celebrate and enjoy the company of others and the entertainment of performers such as musicians.
At all symposia, drinkware – another ancient form of tableware – played a central role in the proceedings.
The ancient Greeks believed that drinking unmixed wine was the habit of uncivilised nations.
As a result, they mixed their wine with water in huge vessels called kraters, which were then placed at the centre of the drinking party.
The wine was served to guests in kylixes, which were broad, shallow wine drinking cups with two handles.
Symposia tableware such as kraters and kylixes are fascinating, because of their decoration.
The designs of these could often be subversive or humorous in nature, as exemplified in the below late 6th Century BC 'eye-cup' from Chalkis, which features decorative eyes painted on the external surface.
Late 6th Century Greek kylix, from Chalkis
When used as a drinking vessel, the kylix would be tipped up. With its painted eyes, handles resembling ears, and base like a mouth, drinking from the eye cup would have resulted in the user looking like they were wearing a mask.
Similarly impressive, although less jovial in nature, is the Euphronios krater, also created in the late 6th Century BC.
This stunning work, pictured below, features the profound image of a dead youth being gently lifted from the battlefield.

The message is a timeless, universal one, which stresses the brevity of life.
It is a beautiful, powerful image, designed to add gravity to the symposium's celebrations.
The shared experience afforded by ancient Greek dining transformed tableware from simply practical pieces, to objects that could be playful, political and powerful in nature.
Eating out in ancient Rome
For the ancient Romans too, communal dining was considered an essential component of society.
However, unlike ancient Greece, where eating out took place among the upper classes in a private home, the ancient Romans also encouraged more public dining, accessible to those from all walks of society.
These public dining venues took the form of thermopolia, which were small restaurant-bars that offered food and drinks to customers.
Typical thermopolia had small, L-shaped counters into which large jars were sunk. These sunken jars contained wine and hot and cold food, which could be selected by customers.

Evidence of ancient Roman tableware has been found with the ruins of many thermopolia. Jugs, plates, spoons and knives were all used, most of which are of fairly crude and rudimentary design.
Thermopolia were extremely popular in ancient Rome, particularly among the lower classes of society who did not necessarily have kitchens in their homes.
The style of tableware used at the thermopolia became associated with the simple food served and the poorer class of customer who frequented the establishments.
In a bid to distinguish themselves, the ancient Roman upper classes began to commission ever more impressive items with which to adorn their tables.
These included items crafted from fluorspar, which was highly prized in ancient times.
Indeed, the Emperor Nero is reported to have paid over one million sesterces for a single fluorspar cup, when the average Roman soldier earnt just nine hundred sesterces a year.
Tableware in the Middle Ages
After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th Century, the production of fine tableware fell into decline.
Although the nobility maintained high standards, among the lower and middle classes tableware became simpler and plainer.
Bowls, plates and cutlery tended to be carved from wood, which was the material of choice on account of its natural abundance and inexpensive cost.
A beautiful folio from the 14th Century depicts a group of peasants breaking bread, and provides a good impression of the tableware used at the time.

Jugs and bowls of simple shapes are used, and although the bread is cut with a large knife, it is eaten without other utensils.
There is only one jug and drinking bowl among the group, representing the communal nature of the dining.
Individual drinking cups took the form of basic tankards, which were often made of pewter. The dark colouring of pewter also helped to hide impurities that could be found floating in many beers.
High society and the importance of salt
In contrast, among the upper classes in Medieval Europe, tableware became ever more important.
By hosting banquets at which fine tableware was used, the aristocracy were able to convey their wealth and status to guests.
Beautiful golden goblets, large platters and sumptuous courses were all features of medieval banquets.
Such features can be clearly distinguished in a portrayal of a 14th Century banquet hosted by King Charles V of France.
Depiction of a banquet given in Paris in 1378 by Charles V France (center, blue) for Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor (left)
Servants are depicted bringing in platters heavy with rich food, and each dining guest has his own set of two knives, napkins, bread and a plate.
Intriguingly, each diner also has his own individual square container for salt, which in medieval times, was considered a hugely precious commodity.
Such was the importance of salt that it was referred to as "white gold" and its value meant that it could be used as a currency for trade.
At medieval banquets, much emphasis was placed on the presence of large quantities of salt, which conveyed the host's wealth.
The importance afforded to salt is evident by the tableware that was created to contain the material, as demonstrated in the below depiction of the Duke of Berry enjoying a fine meal. On the left of the Duke is a model of a large golden ship, or nef, acting as a salt cellar.
Depiction of John, Duke of Berry, enjoying a grand meal, by Herman, Paul and Jean de Limbourg 1413-16. To the left of the Duke is a large golden nef, which serves as a salt cellar.
The golden celler is clearly the most ornate and extravagent item of tableware present, demonstrating the importance of salt.
Its large size, with the capacity to hold a vast quantity of salt, is a visual demonstration of the Duke's wealth and status.
The Cellini Salt Cellar and dining in the Renaissance
Salt retained its lucrative stature as ingredient de rigueur well into the Renaissance period.
Salt cellars became the ultimate luxury item at the dinner table and highly elaborate sculptural works would be crafted to store only a tiny quantity of salt.
Undoubtedly the most famous example of these creations is the Cellini Salt Cellar, now housed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
The Cellini Salt Cellar © Cstutz via Wikimedia Commons
Created by Italian sculptor Benvenuto Cellini in the late 16th Century, this exceptional work in the Mannerist style was made for King Francis I of France.
Delicately crafted of gold, enamel, ivory and ebony, the salt cellar portrays Neptune, god of the sea, and Tellus, goddess of land, as representative of the oceans and the earth respectively.
Sat with their legs entwined, a model boat is positioned between Neptune and Tellus, used for containing salt.
The Cellini Salt Cellar was made with bearings on its underside, so that it could be moved around easily.
Thus when Francis I pushed the beautiful item around the table, he was – metaphorically – moving the world. The Cellini Salt Cellar is an item of tableware that represents power, status and control.
The trend for elaborate salt cellars sparked in medieval times and the Renaissance continued into later centuries, as is evident from the items of beautiful antique tableware that were produced.

Renaissance revival in glassware
Also in the Renaissance period, fine glass tableware experienced a dramatic revival in production.
Although the ancient Romans had pioneered the use of glass as a material and made great progress, after the fall of the Roman Empire glass production became a largely lost art form.
However, early Renaissance craftsmen in Venice began to develop new techniques for the production of glass, and by the 15th Century, all manner of exquisite glass tableware was being produced.
One of the most important Renaissance developments was the wine glass. It was not until the late 14th Century that vessels for drinking wine were actually crafted from glass, having previously been crafted in wood, clay or metal.
The fashion for fine glass goblets soon took off, and prestigious Italian glassblowers were commissioned to design beautiful wine glasses at considerable expense.
Since each wine glass was cut from an individual piece of glass, the resulting vessel was a unique, one off piece.
The uniqueness made these wine glasses highly desirable and expensive items, which served not only a practical function, but reminded a guest of his host's wealth and power.
Opulent display and 18th Century tableware
As the centuries progressed, fine dining became a more important tradition than ever before.
Although superb quality glassware was still highly prized, the 18th Century moved away from the Renaissance tradition and instead cut multiple vessels from larger pieces of glass.
Cutting the works from larger pieces of glass allowed for smooth edges and clean lines, as well as the possibility of creating matching sets of items.
Yet the fact that each glass piece no longer had to be individually designed did not negate its value.
Indeed, the new technique meant that wealthy families could now commission an entire set of glasses, to be created exactly as they pleased and all in the same image.

It was common to include decorative features such as family crests or markings on sets of wine glasses, to remind guests of the status and heritage of their host.
The impact of Louis XIV on tableware
In the 17th and 18th Centuries, the European upper classes defined their high status by the elegance and beauty of the objects that they owned.
Striving to impress, wealthy aristocrats commissioned increasingly more elaborate items of tableware.
This phenomenon was, in part, due to the French King Louis XIV. Also known as Louis Le Grand or the 'Sun King', Louis XIV changed French and wider European dining habits for years to come.
Louis XIV ordered that his kitchen spare no expense, and prepare excessive amounts of lavish and expensive food.
The King's average dinner was said to be comprised of at least twenty dishes, served over four different courses.
To accommodate such impressive feasts, tableware became of central importance. Silver, gold, and other precious materials were all used in the creation of beautiful tableware, particularly large platters, which were used to accommodate food.
Time for tea: an English institution
While the French court was concerned with the number of courses served, the English nobility had its sights on a new trend.
Tea was first retailed in England in the mid-17th Century, but it was not until the 18th Century that it became truly sought after.
On account of it being imported from exotic and distant lands, tea was an extremely expensive commodity in the 18th Century.
As a result, the serving and drinking of tea was permeated with significance and tradition.
Stunning and elaborate tea sets were created for the ritual of taking tea, which defined respectability and also supported the rise and rule of the British Empire.
That tea was associated with exotic lands can be seen in the tableware that was produced to serve tea in at the time.
The porcelain tea set below, for example, is a Chinese set belonging to a French household in the later 18th Century. The Chinese-style decorations on the individual items highlight the indelible association between tea drinking and the exoticism of the Far East.

Inspired by the British tastes, other European countries soon followed suit, and the serving of tea from exquisite porcelain and silver wares became ubiquitous across the continent.

Centrepieces in the 18th Century
In the 18th century, service à la russe (with servants handing food dishes to the guests one by one) cleared more room on the table for decorations, such as centrepieces and vases.
An important innovation to the fine dining table in the 18th Century was the rise of the surtout-de-table, a long, flat centrepiece, often with a mirrored surface, which was laid on the table to hold and reflect the other table decorations.
Surtout-de-tables were enormously popular among the European aristocracy in the 18th Century and splendid decorations on a dining table came to symbolise the wealth and prestige of the host, and to remind guests of the high quality of entertainment being provided.
Yet although the fashion for the centrepiece emerged in the 18th Century, it was the 19th Century which saw the most magnificent centrepieces made.
It was at this time that the custom of adding flowers to the table was revived too. The addition of floral decorations to a dining table was actually an ancient Roman custom, which was revived in the 19th Century as part of the new vogue for Classical art and design known as Neoclassicism.
By the late 19th century, flowers and foliage on the table often reflected the season or theme of the event, such as white flowers for a snow-themed event.
Antique tableware in the modern era
The emergence of the centrepiece demonstrates the extent to which tableware had evolved to serve a decorative as well as a practical function. The history of antique tableware is therefore a history of design and beauty, as well as functionality.
It is because tableware is associated with the most basic of human activities – eating, drinking and socialising – that, over the centuries, pieces of tableware had grown from mere practical objects to works of art in their own right.
The story of antique tableware tells us not only about how our ancestors used to eat, but about how they entertained, how they chose to display their possessions, and, ultimately, about how they thought of themselves.
Antique pieces of tableware are therefore cultural artefacts as much as they are practical objects.
And it is for this reason that antique tableware is so highly sought after by collectors today, and why antique pieces of tableware are displayed in museums and collections worldwide.
That said, in spite of the more casual nature of dining in the 21st Century, antique tableware can still be used today and the use of antique tableware is especially popular for lavish feasts and fine dining, in much the same way as it was throughout history.
The table knife, with its distinguishable blunt rounded end, originates from 1637, after Cardinal Richelieu complained of guests using sharpened knifes to pick their teeth at the dinner table.

Expectations ran high for the Vatican's debut at the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale. And call it divine intervention or curatorial genius, but 'Vatican Chapels Pavilion of the Holy See' undoubtedly stole the show, proving to be the most talked about project of the opening week.
Its tranquil location away from the madding crowds helps. Laid out among the woodland of San Giorgio Maggiore Island, it felt like a pilgrimage of sorts, a voyage of discovery with a multiplicity of offerings evoking a mini-Giardini of its own – but a garden united in its devotion to simplicity, contemplation and prayer rather than the grandiose gestures of competing national pavilions.
Curated by Professor Francesco Dal Co, Italian architecture historian and editor of Casabella magazine, the project consists of ten pavilions by ten different practices from across the globe with whom Dal Co has paired a variety of manufacturers to produce radically different designs. The roster of names ranges from heavyweights such as Sir Norman Foster and Eduardo Souto de Moura to Chilean architect Smiljan Radic, creator of the 2014 Serpentine Pavilion, and Paraguayan architect Javier Corvalán. Each was given carte blanche to design 'without any reference to commonly recognised canons'.
The project's starting point was Gunnar Asplund's seminal Woodland Chapel, built in 1920 in Stockholm's Woodland Cemetry, and specifically his theme of the chapel as 'a place of orientation, encounter, meditation and salutation'. This is clearly explained in a concise exhibition featuring Asplund's original drawings inside the first chapel that visitors encounter – an elegant shingle hut designed by Francesco Magnani and Traudy Pelzel in collaboration with Alpi Wood.
Although a fan of gravel paths cut through the site from Palladio's Cloister towards the lagoon, visitors are encouraged to meander off through the trees like protagonists in a fairy tale, stumbling across each diverse construction, which often elicit audible gasps as views unfold. Sense of adventure and bucolic setting aside, it is the simplicity of the concept – the sole unifying feature of them all is an altar and lectern – and the broad spectrum of the architects' response that is at the heart of this project's universal appeal.
There is something for everyone, even atheists – with several participating architect non-believers, such as Italian architect Francesco Cellini whose 'Not a project; a reflexion' focuses on the architectural meaning of sacred spaces with his abstract open composition of two intersecting rectangles.
Also, perhaps, Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto De Moura. The title of his low monolithic honey-coloured Vicenza stone structure is 'No, it is not…' suggesting a meditative space rather than something sacred. Inside, a cross appears as the slenderest cut in the stone. 'It is not a chapel, not a sanctuary and in any case, not a tomb. It is simply a place enclosed by four stone walls, while another stone at the centre might be the altar,' he says.
Foster's open-air timber chapel, 'Crosses morphed into a Tensegrity Structure', is likely to become the star attraction. Situated between two mature trees, the apse faces onto the lagoon. Inside, visitors can ponder on pebble-like wooden benches. Foster worked with Tecno and Maeg to realise his vision, composed of a timber bridge with a canopy created by a series of cross-shaped pylons clad in timber. On a tour of the project, the British architect called it an 'incredible endeavour that started with the transition of the first idea of a membrane into a timber grillage'.
Foster's is already at one with the landscape, with floral creepers winding up around the timber struts. Environmental impact is minimal, with many of the pavilions barely touching the ground, and yet they also embrace the landscape. De Souta's incorporates a tree. Sean Godsell's 'Relocatable Chapel', designed as a dynamic portable entity, incorporates a perimeter of low grasses in the design. Meanwhile, Javier Corvalán's timber Nomadic Chapel is a cross-section of a cylinder, only supported by tripod constructed from Venetian bricola sunk into the ground, the shadow of a cross thrown onto the grass by the sun.
Most uplifting is 'The Morning Chapel' by Barcelona architects Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats in a pleasing Venetian shade of burnt sienna. Devised as a meeting place and shelter, the modernist chapel is conceived as 'an excavation in a wall', but like a Barbara Hepworth sculpture is riddled with apertures that create different aspects and contrasts of light and shade. On the eastern edge of the island, it catches the first light of the day. 'The first sunlight becomes visible through a ray of light that trespasses a circular hole in its wall.

"The Wizard," and he continued to amass victories in Brazil and in Europe. With 150 Grand Prix, 100 Puissance and numerous Derby victories, he firmly entrenched himself as one of the premier riders of the era. He only added to his legacy by coaching the brilliant career of his son, Rodrigo.
Rodrigo grew up travelling to horse shows with Nelson, and with each trip, his love for the horse and competing grew. Though encouraged to pursue his studies, he knew from an early age he would follow in his father's footsteps. By 16 he was riding in Grand Prixs, and he joined his first Olympic squad – with his father - at 19. He finished in 9th place individually. Since then, Rodrigo's list of impressive achievements has only grown, with multiple World Cup titles (including 3 back-to-back with Baloubet), Olympic squads and top world rankings.
Nelson and Rodrigo are Pessoa®. Out of their extensive training and showing experience has grown a complete line of innovative, competitive tools designed to the exacting standards of professional riders. In a Pessoa® saddle, you neither struggle with your two-point, not suffer in your flatwork. With more than 50 years of savvy and horse sense packed into the design of every model, the heart of a competitor and the soul of a true horseman lives inside each Pessoa® saddle.


President Obama meets with King Salman during a 2015 trip to Saudi Arabia.
"Putin has his 'Mission Accomplished' moment. He said 'I'm withdrawing troops.' He's shored up the Assad regime," said Joshua Landis, the Director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma and the author of the blog Syria Comment.
"It established the fact that Russia is not going to let its interests be beaten," Landis said.
But the United States views Russia as a pest, and doesn't want to work with them. Landis says the U.S. wants to undermine Russia by getting ground-to-air missiles into Syria.
Landis says 70 percent of Syrian Arabs live in areas free from conflict. But most young men wind up in the Syrian Army. Money will get you out, but there's a general feeling of despair among the poorest residents.
Landis says he sees only two solutions – either one side emerging victorious, or a partitioned society. No one will let that happen though, because Russia, the United States, Iran, and Saudi Arabia all have proxy interests in the country. The other option would be dividing the country like what happened with the former Yugoslavia. But that could easily lead to another decade of war, and an eventual divisive stalemate with no real progress, similar to the Balkans.
President Obama visited Saudi Arabia this week, amid contention and difficulty over 28 pages dealing with the country in a report about the September 11 terrorist attacks. Landis says as President Obama continues to move the U.S. away from its relationship with Saudi Arabia, the Saudis feel abandoned.
Landis said Obama wants to pull Iran out from under the crushing weight of banking sanctions as one of his presidential legacies. Landis also called Saudi Arabia a "millstone around the United States' neck," and says a bill pending in Congress to allow families of the 9/11 victims to sue the Saudi government could have significant economic implications.

Environmental Justice: What It is, And Why Everyone's Talking About It
By The Perillon Team Corporate Sustainability, ESG
Just a few short years ago, terms like "ESG" and "environmental justice" didn't exist in the popular consciousness. Now they are an important and growing priority for citizens and corporations around the world.
However, not everyone is on the same page about what environmental justice is and what it means. In this post, we'll discuss what environmental justice is, how it's different from social justice, and give examples of environmental justice in action.
What is environmental justice?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines environmental justice as "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations and policies". In simple terms, environmental justice is the idea that everyone deserves a clean and healthy community and planet. It may also be referred to as climate justice.
Why is environmental justice important?
Environmental justice is important because it seeks to remedy the disproportionate environmental impacts faced by poor and marginalized communities. These impacts can be the result of climate change, pollution, resource extraction, and other activities.
For example, think about where factories, slaughterhouses, and hazardous waste sites are usually located. They are often built in minority and low-income neighborhoods, where land is cheap and there is less political opposition to unwanted facilities. This means that the poor and people of color are exposed to more environmental hazards like air pollution. Workers in these facilities may also be disproportionately affected by environmental hazards.
Another example is the practice of sending broken electronics, old batteries, and other hazardous waste to foreign countries for disposal. While these countries are paid to take the waste, it also means that workers and local citizens in the receiving countries are exposed to harmful materials. Policies that regulate waste disposal in wealthy countries can unfortunately incentivize this practice of shipping dangerous materials overseas to poorer nations that lack the same regulations. The goal of environmental justice is to right these wrongs and protect vulnerable communities like these from further harm.
By now, you might be wondering how environmental justice is different from social justice. While environmental justice shares some core principles with social justice, there are key differences between the two.
Environmental justice vs. social justice
Both environmental and social justice emphasize the idea of fairness. They both say that benefits and burdens should be shared across all people equally regardless of race, nationality, gender, or income.
The main difference is that environmental justice deals exclusively with the environment, while social justice deals with issues like distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
Environmental and social justice may be different, but they are closely intertwined. Take farming, for example. Chemical fertilizers used in farming help food crops grow bigger and faster, but excessive use can cause environmental problems like health hazards for workers, soil degradation, and water pollution in rural areas. Farm workers are also frequently subject to dangerous working conditions and receive some of the lowest wages in the country.
Examples of environmental justice in action
Many businesses are taking steps to advance environmental justice in their operations and supply chains, so let's go over three real-world examples below.
If you're a coffee drinker, then you might have noticed the rising price of your morning latte. As global temperatures increase and extreme weather events like hurricanes and droughts become more common, climate change threatens to make coffee even more expensive. But for the 12.5 million small farmers that produce 60% of the world's coffee, a warming climate threatens their entire livelihood.
This is one of the reasons why Starbucks has committed to become a resource positive company, meaning that it will store more carbon than it emits, replenish more water than it uses, and eliminate waste.
"Starbucks views climate change as among the greatest threats faced by humanity and acknowledges that climate change will have a disproportionate impact on poor women and children, communities in the developing world, and BIPOC communities in the United States," the company said in its 2021 Civil Rights Assessment.
Starbucks also shared that it will work to further reduce its carbon footprint in coffee, while introducing farm-level water-saving projects and advancing farmer livelihoods through its Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices.
Source: Starbucks
Like Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's depends on farmers to stay in business, and it recognizes that these farmers are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
According to WWF, millions of farmers worldwide tend approximately 270 million dairy cows. These cows produce milk needed to make, among other things, ice cream. But they also produce a significant amount of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
At the same time, the crops these cows depend on for food are susceptible to droughts and extreme weather created by climate change. It's a vicious cycle — one that Ben & Jerry's hopes to break by helping farmers adopt more sustainable agricultural practices that reduce emissions and improve soil health.
But it's not just dairy farmers who are affected by climate change: Farmers who produce flavorings such as sugar, cocoa, and vanilla are also impacted. Smallholder farmers, in particular, are struggling to adapt to the unpredictable weather patterns and global market disruptions brought on by climate change," says Ben & Jerry's.
The ice cream company is supporting smallholder farmers with an additional social premium on top of the purchase price of their crop. Farmers can use this extra sum of money to invest in projects of their choice that improve their communities and build climate resilience.
Climate change impacts us all. But for younger people and future generations, the effects could be particularly brutal. Under the current climate scenario, a baby born today will face seven times as many heatwaves and three times as many floods and crop failures as their grandparents.
Knowing this, Seventh Generation aims to "transform the world into a healthier, more equitable world for the next seven generations". This means, among other things, ensuring clean air and a healthy life. "A switch to 100% renewable energy will help reduce some of the negative health effects caused by climate change and the burning of fossil fuels," the green cleaning brand explains.
Not only is Seventh Generation switching to clean energy, it is also fighting for climate justice by getting cities around the US to commit to 100% renewable and encouraging individual voters to vote for candidates who support climate action.
Environmental justice is here to stay
Environmental justice is more than a buzzword — it's a global movement to protect the most vulnerable people from environmental hazards and ensure a clean and healthy planet for all. The actions above demonstrate how companies can advocate for communities that are affected the most by environmental issues and actively promote environmental justice.

Hello Im portuguese I'm living here in london 5 years, half a year I met a lady and I fall in love. She has hearing loss, so, my life been a hell to get her a job. She worked in Marriott Hotel for a week then they sent her home, 3 months went through and I fond her other hotel job through my community, this portuguese lady made her to hell to the point of saying "you just listen when you want", "If you don't listen properly go and fix that stuff" or if is not that, she chases her to the changing rooms when she says, I need to change the battery.
The only thing I ask here is how do I get her to learn BSL if she does not speak english, and there is any job she can do with this disability?
Signed languages are their own languages and one can learn a signed language without knowing the spoken language from the country the sign is used. For instance, I do not know Spanish but I can sign with people from Spanish speaking countries. I have a friend in Colombia and understand Coloumbian signs not through Spanish but through the languages I am fluent in: American Sign Language and English.
I am learning BSL and very new but I suppose it is the same way. Of course it is good for your love to learn English for writing purposes (and maybe understand the etymology of signs that may be borrowed from English) but overall, it is not 100% essential for learning and understanding sign.
My brain isn't processing proper prepositions today.

Adherence of microbes to host tissues is a hallmark of infectious
Posted on October 27, 2017 by Wilma Brewer
Adherence of microbes to host tissues is a hallmark of infectious disease and is often mediated by a class of adhesins termed MSCRAMMs (Microbial Surface Components Recognizing Adhesive Matrix Molecules). intramolecular interactions exist in native plasma Fn which hold its solution conformation in a relatively compact state [18]. These interactions are mediated, in part, by FnI modules from the Fn-NTD fragment and FnIII modules originating from the distant Fn-CBD fragment (Fig 1A) [19C22]. Intrinsically disordered sequences from SfbI, F1, and BBK32 engage the Fn-NTD fragment via a tandem -zipper model of binding [6,23C25] and, in doing so, compete for these intramolecular Fn contacts [6,12,24]. This competition results in a conformational expansion of Fn which has been directly measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS) upon binding of SfbI [12]. Interestingly, the SfbI-induced conformational change in Fn mirrors the transition of compact Fn to an elongated structure in solutions of increasing ionic strength [18]. A monoclonal antibody (mAbIII-10), which recognizes a conformationally-sensitive epitope within 10FnIII [26] has also been used to monitor structural changes induced in Fn by both streptococcal and borrelial FnBPs [6,12,17]. These studies reveal a conformational rearrangement in Fn that occurs in domains located far outside of the FnBP/Fn binding site. The conformational expansion of Fn induced by Suvorexant binding of SfbI, F1, or BBK32 has been linked to three primary effects; (i) the 10th FnIII module of Fn which harbors the RGD integrin recognition motif exposes a previously cryptic mAbIII-10 epitope, (ii) the motogenic IGD motifs of Suvorexant the 7th and 9th FnI modules of the Fn-GBD fragment become exposed, and (iii) in the case of SfbI, binding results in the blocking of Fn assembly Suvorexant into fibrils. In addition to binding to the Fn-NTD fragment, SfbI, F1 and BBK32 also harbor an Fn-GBD binding site. However, Fn-NTD interaction alone is sufficient to induce allosteric changes in Fn [12]. Consistent with this is the recent discovery of the FnBP termed SFS, which only binds Fn via Fn-GBD interaction, yet fails to cause conformational expansion of Fn [27]. Integrins are Suvorexant essential metazoan heterodimeric glycoproteins that mediate cell-adhesion, establish transmembrane connections to the cytoskeleton, and play an integral role in cell signaling pathways [28]. Interestingly, integrins are common targets of pathogens and often participate in bacterial and viral adhesion to host cells [29]. Two modes of microbial integrin recognition have been described and include direct binding by bacterial surface proteins [30C32] or indirect binding via physiological ligands such as Fn [29,33,34]. The latter mode is exemplified by an FnBP expressed by the gram-positive pathogen by non-professional phagocytes [14C16,36C45]. Full-length FnBPA harbors eleven Fn-binding repeats that specifically interact with the 2-5FnI modules of the Fn-NTD fragment via a tandem beta-zipper [25,46] (Fig 1B). Unlike the streptococcal and borrelial FnBPs, FnBPA binds exclusively to Fn-NTD and makes no direct interactions with the Fn-GBD fragment. Of the 11 FnBPA Fn-binding repeats, Suvorexant six exhibit high-affinity binding of Fn [46] and a single high-affinity repeat is sufficient for 51 integrin-dependent invasion of endothelial cells by [14]. While is typically considered an extracellular pathogen, intracellular is associated with several chronic and reoccurring infections [47C50] and can establish infection even in the presence of the vancomycin [51]. Thus, internalized by non-professional phagocytes represents a bacterial reservoir protected against antibiotics and innate host defense systems. Although it is evident that FnBPA, Fn, and 51 integrin work in concert to promote an intracellular life-style for [14C16,40], detailed knowledge of the underlying molecular events that lead to invasion have remained elusive. A mechanistic understanding of how FnBPA manipulates Fn function to enable entry of into non-phagocytic cell types, will benefit renewed efforts [51] to target this form of the pathogen. With this in mind, the goals of this study were to determine if the allosteric model of Fn activation, which has been proposed for streptococcal and borrelial FnBPs, applies to staphylococcal FnBPA. Furthermore, we sought to better understand the nature of structural changes induced by Fn-binding MSCRAMMs and correlate these changes to quantitative and direct measurements of Fn/51 integrin interaction. Therefore, in parallel with our studies of FnBPA, we have also evaluated the effect of borrelial BBK32 (Fig 1C) on the solution structure of Fn and its effect on Fn/51 interaction. Herein, we apply a cross-disciplinary ZNF143 approach to dissect the structural basis for MSCRAMM-induced Fn activation using circular dichroism (CD), DLS, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to examine the conformational status of native Fn or MSCRAMM-bound Fn in solution. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is used to.

Why is the Middle Class Shrinking?
No pity for Colin Kaepernick
Posted by Larry Horist | Jul 10, 2020 | 7
It is highly questionable as to whether former San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick will ever play football again. In fact, if it were not for this new wave of racial controversy raging throughout American these days, it is almost certain that he would not ever return to football.
If he sees the loss of a football career as the existential tragedy of his life, he has no one to blame but himself. He should have known that refusing to stand for the National Anthem – which is how he began his personal protest — would roil a lot of football fans. In fact, he gave an earlier hint of going public with his opinions when he wore cops-as-pigs socks to work (pictured above).
While his intention was to draw positive attention to the issue of police brutality toward Blacks, his protest was far from successful. It was quickly seen as an attack on America by many folks – including some who supported his concern over policing primarily in the segregated communities in our major cities. It would be one thing to point to a problem but quite another to attack the symbols of our overarching unity – the National Anthem, the flag, the Pledge of Allegiance – and most recently Independence Day.
In a very real sense, Kaepernick was nullifying the basic American concepts of e pluribus unum — and our ability as one people to strive together for that more perfect union – in favor of identity-based tribalism. He rejected the idea that there are more things that we share in common than that divide us. Without that underpinning, there is no way to mend our division.
In his more recent tweet, Kaepernick again demonstrated a disdain for America as a whole – and does so by dishonestly conflating the past and present. In his tweet, Kaepernick wrote:
"Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of "independence", while you enslaved our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all."
He is right to condemn the dehumanizing, brutalizing, criminalizing and terrorizing of Negroes in America. But Kaepernick – nor anyone else – lives in that America anymore. For sure, the residual of Democratic Party systemic racism can be found in our major cities today – but not so much among the general public. Kaepernick is not committed to addressing racism in America as opposed to advancing the narrow and specious narrative of the hard left. It is a broad-brush anti-American narrative replete with reverse racism.
If Kaepernick never makes it back to the gridiron, he deserves no pity. He is going to be a very, very wealthy man. Ironically, he is making his fortune by accessing all the fundamental freedoms and benefits of an American citizen. He is a living example of American Exceptionalism. His new wealth is the product of America's free enterprise system.
He has had a lucrative contract from Nike and has now signed another deal with Disney to produce a docu-series to play across the company's various platforms. He has lucrative book deals and his activist organizations are well-funded by a major donor.
Tearing down America – as opposed to making it a more perfect union – is highly profitable today. And Kaepernick is cashing in big time.
So, there 'tis.
Editor's note: After Kaepernick's latest tweets, any team would be crazy to pick him up again. And would his team mates want to work with him? Maybe half will and half won't. It would divide the team. Disaster.

As is so often the case with your posts, this one is filled with half truths and misses the bottom line. The bottom line is that black people do have a legitimate concern with how police react to them. Colin was a leader in a movement to protest their concer, and he did it by taking a knee during the National anthem. Now this is clearly not the usual and customary way of projecting oneself during the anthem, but is it disrespectful? Certainly not, and that is finally being realized four years later. Of course racist conservatives were quick to jump on this as an act disrespecting our military and the fool in the WH was quick to fan those flames for political advantage, but all that really did was show the narrow-mindedness of much of the football audience. As was stated at the time, it was not meant to disrespect the military or the flag, but merely to draw attention to an injustice. It can be argued that Colin should have known better, because there are so many narrow-minded individuals in this country, but he thought the cause was worth it, and I salute him for that. I for one will never watch football or go to a game as long as he sits idle. So there tis…

It's snowflakes like you that have bought into the propaganda that the media and the liberals have used to support there agenda. Where was his protest when Obama was President? And you this was not meant to be disrespectful is spoken like someone that was NEVER in the military. Where is the blacks outrage over black on black violence? How about the facts that 40% of blacks are on welfare. Get an education and learn before you continue to look like one the the mindless sheep that follows the libtards. Quit blaming whites for the failure of blacks in this country.
Mike	on July 11, 2020 at 1:18 pm
Rick-The fact that you are ignorant is obvious. Colin started taking a knee to protest police actions against blacks in 2016. Obama was President. And since when is bowing in prayer (taking a knee) disrespectful? It is only jerks like you that see it that way, the rest of t the world sees it for what it is, a protest. Wake up and have a little empathy for your fellow man instead of being part of the flock of sheep being led by the idiot currently in the WH.
Larry Horist	on July 11, 2020 at 8:09 pm
Mike, Your attempts to recast reality is pathetic. We traditionally STAND out of respect for the Anthem and the flag because it represents a belief in an overarching common culture. We can disagree and debate within our common community, but to attack the very bond that makes us American is a deal breaker. Intentionally sitting or kneeling is a show of disrespect to the American bond. Maybe Kaepernick could have stood and scratched his crotch as a show of concern about police. It would have had no more relevancy to the issue. And you playing the race card to defend your position is utterly disgusting. THAT is racism. If hsi kneeling did not reflect disrespect for the flag, how do you explain his tweets against American in general. He is among those who would have America become a nation of competing tribes.
Larry, your utter lack of empathy for a significant portion of the American populace in your response is as obvious as it is stupid (and racist). As was widely reported during the times when the first 'take a knee' protests were ongoing, the players said they meant no disrespect to either the military or the flag. Why can't you accept that? Why does everyone have to conform to your idea of what is "respectful". Who gave you the right to determine what is respectful when the anthem is played anyway? Why is doing something different so awful? You answer none of these questions in your response to my comments, you only bring up tweets that were not specifically identified in your article as further justification for your position and try to blast me for bringing up racism. The only thing that is clear is the narrow-mindedness of your conservative beliefs, and your inability to empathize with those who have a real problem facing them. Disgusting…
Larry-In thinking about this a little more, I think it is rich that you would bring up Kaepernick's tweets as a reason that he should not be given his old job back, especially since they have nothing to do with how he performs his job as quarterback. And yet you continue to enthusiastically support a president who continually tweets lies and divisive rhetoric to the American public which, without doubt, does directly affect his job performance So hypocritical on your part, and yes, I will say it again, racist. So there tis…..
Joe Gilbertson	on July 13, 2020 at 4:48 pm
It does however affect how the fans see him though. Behavior codes are in every NFL contract, and bad behavior affects the game. Football is just an entertainment business, when ticket revenue falls, its bad for the business of football. Does he have the right to speak? Sure. Do people have the right to hate him and avoid him. Yep.
The rest of your email is fantasy crap.

Dame Helen Mirren to star in Fast and Furious 8
By Anneka Honeyball	on	 June 16, 2016 Global News, News
In what is perhaps the most surprising, yet thrilling news of the week, Dame Helen Mirren has revealed that she has nabbed a role in the next instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise.
Speaking of her acting preferences in a recent interview with Elle, the 70 year old Oscar-winner said: "I want to be making film and theatre, but film is particularly relevant. I like it to be serious. Of course, having said that I'm about to do Fast and Furious 8. But that's for the fun of it. So maybe that's what I want as well, some fun and some relevant, serious, important movies."
When asked if she was definitely on board for the upcoming action sequel, Mirren responded with certainty ("Yes, I am."), before elaborating on her decision to join the project: "I've always rather loved driving. I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive if I do drive in it.' But we'll see. We'll see how it transpires."
Interestingly, Mirren has been not-so-subtly hinting her interest in the franchise since March last year, citing her love for driving as the main motivation, alongside her admiration for star Vin Diesel; " I love Vin Diesel. He's a great guy, smart – I love him. It's partly because of him I'd like to be in one, but also the driving."
Directed by F. Gary Gray and starring Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Scott Eastwood and Charlize Theron, Fast 8 is set to be released in the UK on 14th April 2017. Watch the trailer for the last film below.

Q: Probability question using Bayes Theorem Hello Everyone I am having trouble understanding how to use bayes theorem in this problem:
Suppose a physician assesses the probability of
HIV in a patient who engages in risky behavior (unprotected sex with multiple partners
of either sex, or sharing injection drug needles) as .002, and the probability of HIV in a
patient who does not engage in those risky behaviors as .0001. Also suppose the Elisa
test has a sensitivity (probability of having a positive reading if the patient has HIV)
of .99, and a specicity (probability of having a negative reading if the patient does
not have HIV) of .99 and does not depend on whether the patient has engaged in risky
behavior. Let E stand for engages in risky behavior," H stand for has HIV," and R
stand for positive Elisa result." Use Bayes Theorem to compute each of the following:
(a) P(H|E,R), (b)...Ill solve this on my own...
How do I use the theorem for a?
Thank you in advance!

A: $$\begin{align}
\Pr(H\mid E, R) =& \frac{\Pr(H, E, R)}{\Pr(E,R)}\\
=& \frac{\Pr(H, E, R)}{\Pr\left(H,E,R\right) + \Pr(\overline H,E,R)}\\
=& \frac{\Pr(R\mid H,E)\Pr(H,E)}{\Pr(R\mid H, E)\Pr(H,E) + \Pr(R\mid\overline H,E)\Pr(\overline H,E)}\\
=& \frac{\Pr(R\mid H,E)\Pr(H\mid E)\Pr(E)}{\Pr(R\mid H, E)\Pr(H\mid E)\Pr(E) + \Pr(R\mid\overline H,E)\Pr(\overline H\mid E)\Pr(E)}\\
=& \frac{\Pr(R\mid H)\Pr(H\mid E)}{\Pr(R\mid H)\Pr(H\mid E) + \Pr(R\mid\overline H)\Pr(\overline H\mid E)}\\
\end{align}$$
and it's your turn to substitute appropriate numbers in this formula.
If you practice much, actually you can solve this kind of question solely using definitions and formulae.

Q: Distinguish Peak and Off-Peak traffic periods referring to POSIXct format time Here I have some air pollution concentration data with number concentration per minute collected in London. This pollutant is a traffic-related air pollutant. I would like to add another column with a factor variable (Peak; Off-Peak) to distinguish the data was collected during Peak time (6:30 am-9:30 am) or Off-Peak time (16:00 to 19:00) only for Monday to Friday. The current time column is in POSIXct format with date+time.
Sample Data
QUESTION 1: Should I do the following:
1.remove Saturday and Sunday data
2.extract time from the date+time
3.identify time range of (6:30 am-9:30 am) and (16:00 to 19:00)
OR there is a way to identify time range of a day using date+time (POSIXct)
QUESTION 2:How can I properly extract time from date+time variable of POSIXct format, which can be used for time range ((6:30 am-9:30 am) and (16:00 to 19:00)) identification?

A: You can use the chron package as it has a function for determining weekdays. It also has a function for holidays. And the lubridate package can be used to extract the hour and minute from the date/time variable.
library(chron)
library(lubridate)

data %>%
  mutate(peak = case_when(
    is.weekend(as.Date(date)) ~ FALSE,
    (hour(date)==6 & minute(date)>=30 | hour(date)>6) &
      (hour(date)==9 & minute(date)<=30 | hour(date)<9) ~ TRUE,
    TRUE ~ FALSE),
    offpeak = case_when(
      is.weekend(as.Date(date)) ~ FALSE,
      (hour(date)>=16 & hour(date)<=19) ~ TRUE,
      TRUE ~ FALSE)
    )

The fall migration is on. Baitfish are everywhere. They along the beaches and smaller varieties are sizzling on the points of islands. Mackerel and bonito are near shore and are a blast if you get on them.
Small, medium , and a few larger snook can be had by fishing points and downed structure along the mangrove shorelines. Jacks, snapper, ladyfish, and mackerel fill in as an extra sideshow. There are a few big tarpon out there for the dedicated.
The real star are the redfish. They are starting to school up. Small to oversized redfish have been stealing the show. Double digit days are in order if you fish oyster bars and points of interest.
I had newlyweds Chris and Sarah Buggie out and the full moon and lower tides had me running and gunning.
When the tide came in, outside, hard bottom points paid off big time.
We caught small snook, jacks, and plenty of redfish.
Live bait under popping corks worked real well. You can do some real damage right now throwing jigs and soft plastics as well.
This is one of the best times of the year to get your fish on and plenty of them. Give me a call and book a trip now.

Car Accident Aid News » Psychiatric Nurse Awarded €108k in Relation to Fall & Car Crash Injuries
Psychiatric Nurse Awarded €108k in Relation to Fall & Car Crash Injuries
Posted: October 21st, 2019
A former psychiatric nurse who suffered injuries in a car crash in 2015 and then slipped in a supermarket a matter of few months later has been awarded more than €100,000 in personal injury compensation at the High Court yesterday.
Ms Justice Miriam O'Regan estimated personal injury compensation at €20,000 in relation to the road traffic incident. He also awarded another €88,000 personal injury compensation in relation to the fall. The sum of personal injury compensation totalled in excess of €108,000 to Mary Barry of Westcliffe, Ballincollig, Co Cork, at the High Court sitting in Cork.
In calculating the total amount of compensation to be awarded, Ms Justice O'Regan reviewed several aspects of the plaintiff's legal claims. Her legal team, Seán Lynch and John O'Mahony, asked n opportunity to clarify all issues with John Lucey, representing the defence. Following this, it was agreed that €20,000 was the final figure plus costs in relation to the traffic incident on November 25, 2015, at the Kilumney roundabout near Ballincollig.
More than €88,000 plus legal costs was awarded in relation to her accident and fall at Wilton Shopping Centre on March 2, 2016, thought to have been caused by yoghurt/ice cream on the floor that had not been cleaned up.
In relation to the plaintiff's claim for post-traumatic stress arising from the car accident, where it had been alleged she was not able to get out of her car for some time after the incident, the judge did not make any compensation award.
Ms Justice O'Regan said yesterday in her judgment said: "Of total significance in my view is that she has indicated she could not get out of the car but evidence was given that she had gotten out of the car on two occasions prior to the arrival of gardaí. That was completely contrary to the evidence she has given."

These days, Instagram is so saturated that selecting the right hashtags for your profile can get a little tricky. Gone are the days when you could use basic keywords as hashtags and build a following. Instead, your hashtags must be niche and targeted in order to capture people who are interested in what you have to say.
This is because when you use "large" hashtags that have millions of posts under their feeds, your content will get lost in the shuffle as the page turns over with new content every few seconds. So what you want to shoot for is smaller hashtags that will give you the chance to be seen (and by the right people). Bonus points if you can get into the Top Posts at the top of a hashtag feed-- that means more people will see your content.
So how do you go about picking hashtags? Identifying effective hashtags is actually quite simple-- it just takes a little bit of time and periodic reevaluations.
Step 1. Identify some keywords and phrases that are relevant to your brand, content, and/or industry.
For example, if you are a graphic designer, your terms might be: graphic design, graphics, web design, logo design, and digital illustration.
Step 2. One at a time, search each term on Instagram as a hashtag.
Check out how the hashtag feed looks: how many posts are there? Assuming that the feed is overpopulated since you're just looking at basic keywords (e.g. in the case of #graphicdesign there are over 13 million posts), start exploring the suggested hashtags that come up in the "Related" bar. Click through some of these until you find a few hashtags that are related to graphic design but have somewhere in the realm of 10,000-1,000,000 posts and have high quality relevant posts populating the feed. In this example, #dribbble, #graphicdesigncentral, and #graphicdesignblg are all good options.
Step 3. Look at what hashtags your peers and audience members are using.
A shortcut to finding relevant hashtags is to look at what your peers and competitors are using. You can also look at what hashtags your audience is using, since they and their communities are probably searching hashtags similar to the ones they use.
Step 4. Start using your newly identified niche hashtags. A few hours after you post something, check to see if you made it into the top 9 for any of your hashtags.
Getting into the Top Posts is determined by a number of algorithm factors, including (but not limited to) the amount of engagement you receive and how quickly you receive it. If you're consistently making it into the top 9 posts for some of your hashtags, keep using those hashtags. If you aren't ever making it into the top 9 for some, you probably aren't getting a whole lot of engagement from those hashtags. After a few weeks of testing, try swapping out the stale hashtags for some new ones and see if you have any better luck making it into Top Posts.
To get you started down the right path, here's a mega list of hashtags that you might want to try depending on your industry.

Le Trio de l'étrange est la cinquième histoire de la série Yoko Tsuno de Roger Leloup. Elle est publiée pour la première fois du  au  du journal Spirou, puis en album en 1972. Cette histoire est intégrée au premier album de la série.

Résumé

Vic Vidéo, réalisateur de télévision, et Pol Pitron, cameraman, croisent un jour la route de Yoko Tsuno, ingénieur en électronique. Ils lui offrent un travail pour un reportage sur un gouffre et le mystère de la résurgence de son cours d'eau.

Durant le reportage, ils sont aspirés par un siphon et découvrent une civilisation extraterrestre, les Vinéens, qui vivent sous terre, depuis …

Le Vinéen Karpan voulant les tuer, ils seront amenés à explorer ce monde souterrain en compagnie de Khâny et de sa jumelle, Poky, et à découvrir, puis détruire, une intelligence artificielle qui s'était peu à peu développée à l'insu des Vinéens et contrôlait en partie leur base.

Personnages

Dessin
Le dessin est encore hésitant et ne sera stabilisé que dans le volume suivant. Les personnages constituent le gros problème du dessinateur, qui, s'il a appris et perfectionné durant son apprentissage à peu près tous les éléments annexes du récit dessiné — mise en pages, décors, engins, lettrage et composition de l'image, couleurs, etc. —, éprouve quelques difficultés dans les visages et les attitudes, Hergé ne lui ayant jamais fait dessiner de personnages. Bien que Maurice Tillieux lui ait conseillé d'adopter un style semi-caricatural, Leloup s'oriente vers un certain réalisme sans trop se préoccuper de certains détails comme les plissés des vêtements.

Publication

Revues
Il a été prépublié dans le Journal Spirou numéros 1726 à 1742 du  au .

Album
Cette histoire est publiée en album pour la première fois en 1972 chez Dupuis et connaitra diverses rééditions par la suite. En 2006, elle est intégrée au premier volume de l'Intégrale Yoko Tsuno, De la Terre à Vinéa.

TradeTalks: Nasdaq-Listed ETF Puts the Squeeze on the Shorts .
SQZZ seeks capital appreciation by investing in companies with solid fundamentals that have very large positions that are subject to a short squeeze.
The Active Alts Contrarian ETF (NASDAQ: SQZZ) debuted on the Nasdaq Market Wednesday. In this addition of #TradeTalks, Jill Malandrino, Global Markets Reporter at Nasdaq, is joined by Brad Lamensdorf, Portfolio Manager of SQZZ. Active Alts is focused on bringing innovative liquid alternative strategies utilizing the ETF product structure. Lamensdorf, the founder and portfolio manager of Active Alts, is also a principal and co-manager of the AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF.
Short selling can be risky because the loss potential is unlimited. For example, if you are short a stock at $10 and it goes to $100, you are down $90 per share. Lamensdorf said that short sellers get caught in what traders call a "squeeze" when they are wrong and are forced to cover, which in turn causes the stock price to rise on the buying.
SQZZ will not allocate more than 20 percent to any one sector and aims to keep position size at about 1-2 percent, although the ETF can go as high as 5 percent. When the fund is fully invested, it expects to have 40-80 stocks in the portfolio. Market caps start at $200 million. The smaller the market cap, the smaller the position. SQZZ also has the ability to go to 100% cash in an effort to protect gains.
Holdings and other relevant information on SQZZ can be found on the Active Alts website.
