When Andrew Carmellini, who had rose to prominence at Café Boulud, made his inevitable solo foray, culinary watchers were surprised to see him open a modern Italian restaurant on Madison Square Park rather than a more luxe uptown French restaurant. But it worked and A Voce Madison is a restaurant that is modern in the best sense—tasteful (it is trendy without being overwrought), competent but unpretentious, and comfortable.
Missy Robbins now continues the concept as executive chef and Carmellini has gone on to open Locanda Verde and The Dutch, two excellent restaurants. A Voce Columbus, a spinoff of A Voce Madison, was opened in the Time Warner Center in the spot that once housed Gray Kunz's Café Gray.
A Voce's best dishes rank among the finest in the city. Its agnolotti, filed with braised duck meat, egg and parmesan, and covered in a creamy foie gras sauce, combines beautifully with a vin cotto and balsamic and red wine vinegar glaze. In contrast to the sleekness of the design, however, most of the dishes are more rustic than this and aim at more primal satisfaction. Duck meatballs, perched on pedestals of purred celery root, stuffed with foie gras and pork shoulder and served with a cherry mostarda sauce were widely considered to be A Voce's best appetizer. Unfortunately, they are not currently available on the menu. All in all, A Voce is a solid restaurant that makes very few missteps, while offering a few true knockout successes.

Not often I talk about Hulme but this the second entry on the trot where it takes pride of place.
Regular travellers on Chester Road, Chorlton Road and the Mancunian Way will have seen the external transformation of four tower blocks in the St.George's part of Hulme. The work, carried out by City South Manchester Housing Trust , which is essentially a partnership between the Council and tenants, is matched by refurbishment of the inside, making them fantastic places to live. This afternoon I take part, with pleasure and pride, in a ceremony to mark the work's completion. I've spent a lot of time in Hulme recently for reasons that should be obvious from my last post. As somebody centrally involved in Hulme Regeneration I was very pleased to see how well the rebuilding that took place in the central parts of the area is holding up, in some places after almost twenty years. At that time very little was done to areas like Monton Street, St George's, and Shawgreen, and it is great to see that they now are getting the major investment they need through City South.
A bit of a housing day as before going to Hulme I go to Moston to look at the houses Redrow are building up there. Good product, proving popular and very affordable, especially when shared equity is factored in. But they, and more importantly their prospective buyers, are suffering a little from City Council planning requirements. This isn't meaningless red tape but important rules about accessability. However we have to be sure that we are not being over prescriptive and so our Regen and planning people will now sit down with Redrow to look at solutions for problems that also impact on other housing developments in the city. Over the last few years it's been hard enough to get houses built without making it unnecessarily harder.

I have to say i have noticed the refurb of the Tower blocks at St Georges. When they were first stripped I was assuming it was for demolition but the work that has gone on is fantastic and shows what can be done with old stock. Any plans for any further renewal…perhaps up the road on the '7 sisters'?
I regularly travel through Hulme and Moss Side on the bus and I have to tell you, Sir Richard, that they fill me with deep gloom. I'm sure that they are inhabited by lots of decent and interesting people but physically these districts are dull, dull, dull! Very few gardens, very few shops and very few green spaces - just lots of brick boxes to 'store' people in. And I believe, to add insult to injury, one of the only scraps of green space - Birley Fields - is to be built on!
Regarding your comments Dave, I think they are not only offensive to residents in Hulme and Moss Side, they show a sneer of snobbery and narrow-mindedness. If you cared to venture out of your comfort zone, you would find that Hulme is a vibrant, bustling ward which is a microcosm of the city. Having knocked most doors in the ward over the last six weeks, as well as having the experience of working with many residents through my day job, I have witnessed a sense of pride and belonging that is heart-warming. Hulme boasts little delights like Britannia Basin, ( where there is a waiting list for private rental property), St Mary's area, Aquarius estate and Monton Street estate. The investment and improvements by City South Housing in the latter estates have uplifted the estates and resulted in a surge of housing applications. Whilst there are many things that could and will continue to be improved, Hulme is far from being dull or as you suggest a 'concrete jungle'. Might I be so forward as to suggest next time you catch the bus into town, you get off a few stops earlier and walk through Hulme Park which incidentally is recognised as an example of best practice in park design by CABE space, the national body dedicated to encouraging excellence in the planning, design, management and maintenance of parks and public space in England's towns and cities.
I live in Hulme there are plenty of gardens when you know were to look we have an enclosed courtyard with great gardens well looked after by tennents, so yes its no leafy subhurb but it is home to us.
Why is it that people that tend to criticise and denegrate parts of our City are those that are either passing through an area and don't actually reside there or have preconceived ideas gained from hearsay and not knowledge. Passing through an area on a bus or by car doesn't give anyone the right to make snapshot decisions that tar a complete ward or more with the same brush. I live in, and am proud to live in, an area of North Manchester, Miles Platting to be precise, that has a reputation for being an unsavoury, tough and unsafe area of the City. I have lived there for over 30 years and can honestly say, from experience and not a bus window, that there are some parts that are unsightly and some residents of the area that are unwelcome, work shy and petty criminals. They are in the minority but they get the publicity not the vast majority of residents that are law abiding, hard working, salt of the earth residents. The huge ongoing regeneration of the area that borders East Manchester and New Islington has seen the early beginnings of a new horizon for Miles Platting with refurbed property and lots of new build housing and apartments that has given the residents an even bigger sense of pride in their area. So if you want to criticise or put an area down get off your bus and out of your car and visit the wider area not the just the bus route you use to either enter the City Centre or return home at night.
Dave Bishop, I believe you have mistaken Moss Side for somewhere else. You say there are very few shops in Moss Side and Hulme. Have you not seen the retail park with the giant Asda store? Have you never seen Princess Parkway with it's wide variety of shops? I recommend that you get off the bus and walk through these areas before passing judgement.
Curious, isn't it, that though I went to great lengths not to denigrate the good people of Hulme and Moss Side I'm still labelled as a snob? Mind you when I receive such extreme reactions to my comments I get more than a sneaking suspicion that I might be on to something!
I still believe that these areas, which ought to be vibrant and interesting, are dull and depressing. I feel that that is not the fault of the people who live there but the fault of the planners and architects who seem to believe that only their grand, drawing board schemes have any meaning and the actual street level environment is irrelevant. Perhaps it is they who should 'get off the bus' occasionally (or out of the Porsche and the Merc, perhaps?).
Give Dave a break. He made some very valid points without denigrating Hulme or it's Residents. I have seen massive transformation in the area having studied, worked, shopped and travelled through the area over the last 20 years. There is little visible green and public space (one reason why residents campaigned against the building of offices and felling of the Birley tree). There are some great examples and very poor ones - abandoned land on Leaf St being claimed by squatters, graffitti in other parks. The crescents were terrible but they have been replaced with small, poorly constructed high density housing much of which is showing wear and tear - and as Dave says is dull. Hulme is an area of great character not reflected in the built environment. Perhaps the new Councillor (wasn't green and leafy Chorlton the first choice?) could look at improvements rather than jumping on non offensive comments. You refer to 'little delights' with the clear implication that these are the exception - the whole of the area deserves to be a delight not just the most visible parts!
I am not going to repeat myself, suffice to say that you are 'not on to something' Dave. If you cannot understand that labelling an area you do not reside in as 'dull and depressing' and the impact this labelling will have on the people who live in these dwellings...well..it will take more than comments on a blog to enlighten you.
JS, thank you for your advice on how I may fill my time being a councillor. However I should point out, cheap political shots do weaken your argument somewhat.
I still think that Hulme and Moss Side are dull and depressing - and I'm sorry if that upsets you or anyone who lives there.
On the other hand I don't think that the people who live in Hulme and Moss Side are in any way dull and depressing - I just think that they deserve a better environment - as do we all!
Sadly, we live in a world in which the environment is seen as irrelevant and can be concreted over with no consequences whatsoever. Every time I travel through Hulme and Moss Side I see a microcosm of the way the whole world is going (including Chorlton where I live). In my opinion we all have an absolute right to live in a rich, healthy and diverse environment and it is an outrage that the world is being rashly destroyed and impoverished at an increasing rate.

Expat Community Groups In Spain

Written by CurrencyFair January 7, 2016 September 14, 2018
Find an Expat Community Group in Spain
Spain is one of the best places to be an expat.
Not only is it top-ranked for health, but the quality of life, culture and, of course, weather make it a favored destination for hundreds of thousands of nomads seeking a better life. But being a nomad has its trials, and one of those is being far from home, family and friends. It can also take a while to work out the best ways to manage your new life in a foreign culture. The solution is to find some new friends who will help you get acclimatised to your new home and provide a ready-made social life. And the best way to do that is to meet up with other expatriates via an expat group. We also wrote about financial advisors to help with your move to Spain here. Here are 29 to community groups to choose from.
Barcelona for Expats
Barcelona Women's Network
This group was started in 1998 to support local and international women who live in the Barcelona area. It's got a membership of about 220, with about 20 different nationalities, so it won't be hard to make some friends. As well as sharing contacts, skills and knowledge, the network invites its members to social, educational, charitable and professional events each month.
The American Society of Barcelona
If you're looking for a chance to get involved in English-speaking society in the Barcelona area, The American Society of Barcelona is a great place to start. Founded in 1974 by American businessmen to enhance their social reach, the society is still going strong. Today, its membership is approximately half American and half European, with a significant Catalan membership. This diverse organisation is great for both social and business networking, and it sponsors cultural trips, business lunches, speakers and holiday celebrations all through the year.
Barcelona Newcomers' Club
Another way to meet the Barcelona expat community is to visit the Barcelona Newcomers' Club. Here, you'll meet not only other recently arrived expats, but also locals and expats who have lived in the area for a while. You can even bring your pets along! It's an excellent way to get informed about the region's history and culture, and to discover Barcelona via walks, excursions and family outings. You can also enjoy the nightlife with other club members.
International Women's Club of Barcelona
More than 60 years old, the International Women's Club of Barcelona has decades of experience in welcoming women from around the world to the region. It's geared to English-speaking expats and organises a range of activities for members and their families. Regular activities include coffee mornings, walks, cinema trips, a book club, crafts, exercise classes and tapas.
The British Society of Catalunya, Emporda Branch
The British Society of Catalunya, Emporda Branch is an offshoot of a group founded in Barcelona in the late 1980s. It has some 300 members, made up mainly of British expats who are permanent or seasonal residents of the area. It runs activities for members throughout the year, including lunches and dinners, tours and films.
With CurrencyFair it's easy to convert GBP to EUR and avoid excessive bank charges.
The American Women's Club of Madrid
The American Women's Club of Madrid operates in the area around Madrid. It's been around since 1954, when people from around the world came to help with post-war reconstruction efforts in Spain. Activities for members are varied, and include Spanish language classes, play groups for kids, exercise classes, cooking demonstrations and games. There are social evenings every month. While most of the members are American, there are also members from other countries.
Girl Gone International Madrid
Founded by Tamara Bonilla, Girl Gone International Madrid aims to help expats and returning locals make a smooth transition to life in Madrid. There's a main social event each month, as well as others. Girl Gone International also exists in other cities and has 20,000 members around the world.
International Newcomers Club of Madrid
The International Newcomers Club of Madrid has been around since 1988. With more than 200 members representing around 40 nationalities, it is a real melting pot. Whether you want to learn about the region, practice English or simply make new friends, this club has a lot to offer. It's great for both newly arrived expats and long-term residents, and is known for its welcoming atmosphere. There are walks, tours, coffee mornings and other activities, and you get the chance to network, too.
InterNations Madrid Expats
Part of the InterNations network, the Madrid Expats group provides an online space to get tips you can trust about living in Madrid, make some contacts and meet up with anyone who's in town. The site includes tips on moving to Madrid, a calendar of local events, and an expat forum. Many people have made lifelong friends here.
The Calpe Facebook group connects those who have lived or are living in this part of the Costa Blanca. It's a place to share photos, memories and events.
Denia Connect is a Facebook group for those who are living or have lived in this part of Spain. It's a place where you can find answers to questions, learn about events, find out about classes and clubs. It also includes information on a few nearby towns.
Javea Connect is a local community Facebook group founded in 2011. It has more than 7,500 members and welcomes information on events, jobs, bargains and more.
With more than 4,000 members, Moraira is a public group bringing together current and past residents of this part of the Costa Blanca. You'll find questions and answers, links to events and photos in this group.

What if my payment is more then what I have for FFDs?
How do I add or remove FFDs?
FFD means "fee-free dollar". As you earn fee-free dollars, the Plastiq fee is lowered for payments you apply them to. For example, if you have 1,000 FFDs, that is $1,000 worth of bills or invoices you can pay without the Plastiq fee.
NOTE: Based on the example above, any amount over the $1,000 payment, is subject to the standard Plastiq fee.


Here at the Boutique we are still obsessing over the royal wedding and Megan Markle's classic, clean gown! Her custom made dress featured a gorgeous full length gown made of structured, silk duchess satin with a boatneck collar and long, straight sleeves. Designers and brides all over the world will take inspiration from the Duchess of Sussex's wedding gown, we are sure of it! Below we have listed 10 simple and classic wedding gowns with similar features as the Princess's gown, so you can achieve her wedding look too!
After months of whispers and theories, we now have all the details on Meghan Markle's wedding dress. The bride wore the Parisian label Givenchy, designed by Claire Waight Keller the first woman to head the esteemed French fashion house as Artistic Director. Prior to taking the helm at Givenchy, Ms. Keller served as creative head of Pringle of Scotland and Chloé -- globally influential fashion houses.
Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Sussex Meghan wore a gorgeous full length gown made of structured, silk duchess satin with a boatneck collar and long, straight sleeves. Her silk tulle veil consisted of 53 embroidered flowers representing all the countries in the commonwealth. The full length veil was 16 feet long and helped to create a dramatic entrance before she said "I do." Although this gown was not what we imagined the Princess walking down the isle in, her dress was arguably one of the most elegant bridal looks in royal history.
We Have Only Positive Things to Say!
Since the big reveal, negative comments have whirled the internet stating that the Duchess' dress did not properly fit her and appeared too large for her. These comments have caught our attention because obviously these statements are offensive to a designer like Givenchy. Meghan Markle's dress was intricately made in order to hug her body in all the right places. According to Harpers Bazaar, Givenchy workers spent hundreds of hours diligently sewing and washing their hands every 30 minutes to ensure pristine tulle and threads. After doing some research, we found that the designer, Claire Waight Keller, actually drew inspiration for her dress design from historical royals.
Despite expectations of extravagant gowns and a classic princess style, Markle chose to stay true to herself and reflect her own personal style through her gown and we are so glad she did! Her entire look screamed chic, modern, and elegant. Meghan Markle's bridal look will be imitated for years to come. Get the same look as the Princess with our wedding gown listed below!
We have come up with a list of wedding decoration trends we have seen this year and predict to see in the future. Enjoy!
Balloons have become all the rage this year. Whether you plan to use them as a decoration or for a photo booth, the possibilities are endless! This is an inexpensive way to take up lots of space on your big day!
This new trend is a fun way to entertain guests! Whether you use edible flowers in punch, ice cubes or popsicles, this trend is sure to give your wedding the perfect touch!
Vintage bikes have taken over instagram and they are appearing in weddings now too! Boutiques and planners everywhere are using them to decorate. Paint the bike to match your wedding theme and add a basket full of flowers. This trend is sure to grab your guest's attention!
Place potted plants along your aisle to create a unique touch to your decorations! You can customize these flower pots any way you like and then take them home with you or use them as guest favors after your reception!
When it comes to weddings, the fun factor should be in full force. There's no better way to create a fun atmosphere than with bright, colorful rainbow colors! Pops of colors have proved to be a trendy style to start out the year and we hope to see more of it this season!
Wooden signs with quotes or bible verses painted on them have become so popular! They can be simple plaques or statement pieces. Either way, we believe we will see them more in future weddings for sure!
In November of 2017, Prince Harry of Wales announced his engagement to Ms. Meghan Markle. The couple will be getting married at St. George's Chapel, Windsor on Saturday, May 19th. Their big day is quickly approaching and with the world watching, you can bet the future Princess's wedding gown will be extraordinary. While we await the big reveal, our team here at The Boutique by B.Belle Events ("TheBTQ") have predicted what Meghan Markle's dress and accessories will look like.
Meghan wore a black Ralph and Russo gown for her engagement photos and rumor has it, she could be wearing a gown made by the same designers on her wedding day. The dress she chose for her engagement photos featured a beaded and embroidered see-through top and a frothy, black skirt. Several news articles have made it clear that Meghan's future grandmother, the Queen, must approve her wedding gown before the big day. So, while Meghan's style has proven to be different from her future royal family's, we should still expect to see something classy and elegant which will meet the Queen's approval. Below, we provided a Ralph and Russo wedding gowns from their Spring Collection which could potentially be similar to the design of Meghan's. However, as much as we enjoy predicting her wedding day ensemble, Meghan Markle's wedding gown will be made and tailored specifically for her and is sure to be a one of a kind.
We predict Meghan Markle will go above and beyond expectations. Rather than a simple wedding dress, we believe the future Mrs. will show up wearing a lace fit and flare gown with a detachable train. A detachable train gives off a ballgown feeling and of course a ballgown screams Princess. However, a lace fit and flare would be unlike former royal weddings and Meghan Markle is making us feel as if she'll give the people something extravagant to see. Whatever the future Princess will show up wearing, we are sure that it will set a wedding gown trend for years to come.

This easy Skillet Blondie with Bourbon Caramel Pecans is thick and chewy, studded with pecans, then topped with the most luscious bourbon caramel!
Are you drooling, yet?? I am!
Just looking at these pictures again makes me wish I still had this skillet of gooey goodness! This skillet blondie with bourbon caramel pecans will be the highlight of your dinner, I promise!!
I made this out of desperation for dessert the other day because I was hungry for chocolate chip cookies but I was too lazy to make cookies.
I know, I have a problem!
So, I thought I would make a skillet cookie. Now, when I went to the pantry I was almost out of chocolate chips— that should be a crime!
Now, I was starting to rack my brain for something different to make but I really wanted a cookie. I decided on a blondie but I didn't want just a plain blondie. I saw the bag of pecans staring at me so I decided to grab those and I instantly thought about caramel. It's fall time and those flavors along with apple and pumpkin are always on my mind!
Then my eyes drifted over to my husband's whiskey bottle and that sealed the deal. A skillet blondie with bourbon caramel pecans was born.
This dessert is made in a small 8″ cast iron skillet but trust me it is decadent enough to share with 3 other hungry people! You could probably even serve this to six if you were using this dessert to round out a hearty fall meal.
Otherwise, if you feel the need to keep this all to yourself, I won't tell!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8" cast iron skillet with butter, set aside.
BLONDIE: In a large bowl combine the brown sugar, butter, egg and vanilla. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir just until combined. Gently fold in the chopped pecans. Spread into prepared skillet and bake for 18-20 minutes.
TOPPING: Meanwhile in a large medium skillet cook the pecans, brown sugar and butter for 2-3 minutes over medium low heat until bubbly and sugar has dissolved. Stir in the whiskey or bourbon and remove from heat. Stir in cream. Spoon on top of baked blondie.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet you can make this in a pie plate. It will be a little thinner and start checking the blondie at 15 minutes.

First National Electric Vehicle policy outlined by ALP.
If the Labor Party wins the next election, you'll probably see more electric vehicles on the road.
That's because the opposition party today outlined what it says is Australia's first National Electric Vehicle (EV) policy which includes a new focus on low emissions and electric vehicle targets.
One of those goals is a national electric vehicle target of 50 per cent of new car sales by 2030.
Labor is also calling for a government fleet target of 50 per cent by 2025, as well as allowing businesses to get an upfront tax deduction to purchase electric vehicles for business purposes — in an effort to focus on cleaner and cheaper transportation.
The Australian Automotive Association (AAA), the nation's peak motoring body says it is a strong supporter of policies that can support the development of a cleaner fleet, via the introduction of a CO2 standard.
"The AAA believes that Government support should be aimed at reducing regulatory barriers to uptake and use of low-cost measures to stimulate initial market demand.
"The AAA also believes any incentives should support any vehicle technology that delivers ultra-low fuel consumption (below 2-litres per 100km), as a technology-neutral approach is required if industry is to efficiently bring the most affordable or effective technology to our small market" it said in a statement.
All the while the NRMA, another one of Australia's major motoring bodies has jumped on a more extreme version of the same bandwagon, saying there should be a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars as early as 2025.
According to the ABC, there are only 7,300 electric cars on Australian roads at the moment — reportedly less than New Zealand's total.
Tony Weber from the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries says of Labor's environmental policy, "it's fantastic to see this important topic receive the attention it deserves".
However, Weber concedes the 50 per cent low emissions vehicles target by 2030 is ambitious and cautions that a "considered approach is necessary to encourage the uptake of these vehicles".
"We need to have a realistic and stepped approach to the implementation of emissions targets," he says.

I can't quite believe that in two months time we will be heading off on our honeymoon…where has the time gone?! With the wedding taking main priority when it comes to planning, I kind of forgot that we had a honeymoon to book and plan. And with that comes the wardrobe!!
We have just booked our honeymoon in the last week so its safe to say I've been online shopping for bikinis and outfits like a mad woman since. I will chat all about where we go etc. once we are back home, so I can give a proper review of the resort and explain how we went about booking everything from flights, to accommodation and transfers.
Most of my holidays involve bringing wedges or flats for daytime and heels for nighttime. However, I was told that where we are going, most people stay barefoot for the majority of their stay – (que panic pedicure booking!!) I like the idea of this, as we plan on truly switching off and relaxing for this break so not having to put on heels is kind of a luxury. I will probably pack a simple barely there sandal just incase. I will link the ones I have been loving below too. In terms of sandals, I tend to bring one black pair, one neutral colour and than maybe an embellished, more sparkly pair if I want to wear them in the evening.
Again, because this is our honeymoon and not like any other holiday we have been on, I want to make sure I have some romantic and special pieces for the evening time. Although I want to look dressed up, I can't wait to pare it back with less makeup and less glam for a few days. I've ordered some really pretty and feminine dresses that will look beautiful but still be comfortable and laid back. I also plan on eating and drinking everything in sight so no body cons allowed!!
So that's where I am at right now in terms of my honeymoon wardrobe so far. I plan on doing a post on airport fashion and also on the beauty items I plan on bringing with me too.


A classic take on Rowie's Luka Wrap. Our dream wrap top, this time featuring a high neck and capped sleeves, it feels effortlessly elegant without losing it's playful elements. A stunning cut out back and delightful tie – functional for both front tie or back tie, the design is complimented by it's neutral colour palatte range. Classic vibes and beautiful tones – the Anise is a stunning piece to wear.

José María López retains World Championship title
By claiming pole position and victory in race one, José María López secured his second successive FIA World Touring Car Championship title* with the Citroën Total team.
The Argentine driver was joined on the podium by his teammates Sébastien Loeb and Ma Qing Hua, who also took second and third positions in race two. The Citroën C-Elysée WTCCs had started the day in style by achieving the unprecedented feat of occupying the top five places in qualifying. The manufacturers' and drivers' titles may be sewn up, but Citroën is keeping up the suspense: Yvan Muller and Sébastien Loeb are now separated by just two points and will battle it out for the runner-up spot in Qatar.
With no real hierarchy having emerged after Saturday's free practice sessions, the drivers turned up for qualifying needing to lay their cards on the table. Drawing on what they had learned the previous day, the Citroën C-Elysée WTCC drivers took the top five positions in Q3 for the first time. For the sixth time this season, José María López was the quickest man on track, followed by Sébastien Loeb, Yvan Muller, Ma Qing Hua and Mehdi Bennani in that order.
By late afternoon, the main stand of the Chang International Circuit was packed as the cars lined up on the starting grid. The weather conditions were extreme, with temperatures of 33°C, 60% humidity, and a track temperature of 45°C.
When the lights went out, José María López got off to a perfect start. He reached the first turn in the lead, followed by Sébastien Loeb, with Ma Qing Hua and Yvan Muller neck-and-neck behind them. Muller, as it turned out, would not make it much further. After being run into by two other drivers, he was forced to return to the pits with a broken rear-end assembly. Mehdi Bennani took advantage of this to move up into third.
Once the safety car had been and gone, Ma Qing Hua got the better of the Moroccan driver, and there would be no further changes to the top four before the finish. Despite coming under constant pressure from Sébastien Loeb, José María López clinched his ninth race win of the season. In doing so, he scored the points he needed to secure a second consecutive FIA World Touring Car Championship title.
The celebrations would have to wait, however, as the drivers were immediately back out on track for race two. Once again, the start was a chaotic affair. Yvan Muller was forced to pull out at the very first turn after a collision with Ma Qing Hua. Michelisz led at the end of lap one, with Monteiro, Chilton, Loeb, Qing Hua and López in pursuit.
The race was full of incident, with plenty of overtaking. Sébastien Loeb gradually worked his way up the field into second place. Picking up the pace, he was right on Monteiro's tail when the red flag was brought out due to fading light.
Loeb had to settle for second position, with Ma Qing Hua and José María López, who had both pulled off some impressive overtaking manoeuvres of their own, in third and fourth respectively.
José María López: "I am so happy to have won this second World Championship title. Last year, people focused on the fact that mine was the first title for an Argentine driver since Juan Manuel Fangio. But this year, I'm thinking first and foremost about my family, who have sacrificed a lot for me to be able to come and race in Europe. I started my career at the age of 23. After all these seasons, my passion remains undiminished and retaining this World Championship title is a massive achievement. I would also like to thank the Citroën Racing team, who gave me a chance and have given me carte blanche to compete hard against my prestigious teammates. I think the standard has gone up a level this year. That is probably why I'm feeling even more emotional than I did in 2014. I want to savour this moment."
* Subject to official publication of the results by the FIA.

Episcopalians believe that God inspired the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. We believe the Bible contains all things necessary to salvation -- it reveals to us the great truths God wants us to know, and there are no secrets outside of the Bible that we need to learn for salvation. We believe that Scripture always requires interpretation. God has given us a mind, and wants us to use it, as we work to interpret, understand, and apply the stories in the Bible to our lives in the 21st century.
We believe the overriding message of the Bible is the Good News of God's love for us, of the life, death, and resurrection of God's Son, Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit's promise of eternal and abundant life in Christ.
Because God has loved us, we are also called to love one another. In Christ, we live transformed lives, and the love he gives us allows us to work toward the transformation of this world. We believe that God's will is that this world should become a place of healing, wholeness, and peace.

Mickey Arthur is an excellent manager of players. This, essentially, is Sri Lanka Test captain Dimuth Karunaratne's take-away after two years under this coach.
Arthur had spent much of the pandemic in Sri Lanka while borders were closed, and has had a number of public endorsements from his players, including Karunaratne and Wanindu Hasaranga. He is, however, leaving Sri Lanka for a "head of cricket" role with Derbyshire, despite having wanted to stay on.
Thank you @Mickeyarthurcr1 , for believing, supporting, nurturing and encouraging me throughout this whole period.
You are not just a coach. You are a great gentleman and a true lover of the game. We will miss your passion and high spirits. [1/2] pic.twitter.com/ed0JjiFjoG

The board, acting on the advice of SLC's technical committee headed by Aravinda de Silva, had asked several of the men's national side's coaches to reapply for their roles - a risk Arthur was unwilling to take given the Derbyshire offer.
Either way, this is Arthur's last series with the Sri Lanka side. Although senior players had at times been unhappy with Arthur's role in the resolution of their contracts stand-off with the board earlier in the year, Karunaratne was nevertheless effusive in his praise of Arthur ahead of these Tests against West Indies.
"Mickey's a different kind of coach - he's someone who builds a lot of confidence," Karunaratne said. "When you get to this level, more than skills, it's your mental side and your preparation that's important. Mickey treats each player differently."
You made us believe in ourselves. No one could guide us more successfully than you.
We are sad to say goodbye to the most hardworking and supportive coach i hav ever met.Thank you for being an amazing leader
Goodbye and best of luck with @DerbyshireCCC https://t.co/tRlz8h2CyF

Although Sri Lanka's Test side has not seen substantial leaps ahead during Arthur's tenure, they did seem to make gains in the limited-overs formats. Although not particularly renowned as a T20 coach, Sri Lanka's T20 side turned heads at the recent World Cup.
"He's a father to some, a friend to others," Karunaratne said of Arthur. "He knows how to handle each player. He's built a lot of confidence in the team. We saw a lot of players come through under him, and we saw players who were already good get better while he was around. He's a very good coach. I'm disappointed he's leaving us. Actually, as players, we're very sad. But I'm sure he'll be of great service to Derbyshire."
Arthur's final assignment with Sri Lanka is the two-Test series against West Indies, starting Sunday in Galle.

Unique online lab to investigate Dundee dialect
One of Scotland's leading experts in how dialect and language get stored in the brain has launched a unique online laboratory – with a heavy focus on the distinctive Dundee brogue.
Dr Neil Kirk, from Abertay University's Division of Psychology and Forensic Sciences, has created MIND Your Languages; an online research hub dedicated to the further study of underrepresented varieties of dialect and language.
The online format is designed to encourage participation in spite of the coronavirus, and allows eligible visitors to participate in a range of interesting studies.
The project has been made possible through a Carnegie Trust Research Incentive grant of almost £15,000, and will continue to run once the pandemic is over to allow for further expansive research - particularly into forms of dialect that might be forgotten about in traditional language studies.
Dr Kirk said: "Coronavirus has made research much more challenging for academics, and we've all had to find new ways to adapt to the circumstances we face.
"MIND Your Languages is something I'd been looking to create before the pandemic even broke out, but the situation has certainly shone a light on just how useful an online lab can be in both the short and long term.
"The project will take an in depth look at Dundonian and we also plan to look at other regional varieties in a wider sense. This is another reason why the online setting is important.
"Running a lab in this way makes it far easier for people across the country and indeed the world to participate in our research.
"It will also allow people to find out about our work, and I think this in itself is quite crucial. It will help people learn why this line of research is important, and why our dialect itself is not only important, but something we should all be proud of."
Work currently being carried out by the lab includes a study looking into how the brain stores and switches between Dundonian and English.
"The funding from the Carnegie Trust has not only allowed us to create this lab, it's allowing us to run a range of exciting projects in the coming months." - Dr Neil Kirk
It follows a previous high-profile study involving Dr Kirk which found that the brain treats dialect in the same way as it does a language.
Another study being run by MIND Your Languages is looking to find out whether our personal qualities can be detected from our speech patterns.
Dr Kirk said: "The funding from the Carnegie Trust has not only allowed us to create this lab, it's allowing us to run a range of exciting projects in the coming months.
"None of this research would be possible without local speakers participating in our studies, so we are delighted to offer a new platform for people to participate from the comfort of their own home"

We get all excited about taking our kids to the museum, check its website for hours and admission prices, get the kids ready and loaded into the car, drive through what seems like forever in heavy traffic, pull into the parking lot, race to the admission counter, grab our museum map, and head to the first exhibit. We then spend the rest of the day dragging our kids through the museum with the continuous gamut of questions like, "When do we leave?" and "Is it time to go home yet?" We may have even seen the never-subtle meltdown occur right in the middle of an exhibition hall that, of course, has the best acoustics in the whole museum.
A situation like this can definitely take the exuberant wind out of any parent's sails and make them second guess a return visit. In educational times of trouble, a little preparation and planning can make the world of difference and turn those museum frowns upside down. So, what can you do to get your kids excited about their next museum visit? I've compiled a list of easy tips and hints to help with your next visit to any museum.
A large museum can be overwhelming for a parent, let alone a child that has never visited before. There's so much to take in at any museum, and a little online research ahead of time will make a world of difference.
The easiest way to take the pressure off is to jump online, pull up the museum's website, and peruse the museum offerings. It's here you can check out the map and even print it if you like. For parents with school-aged children, ask them to pull up a chair beside you and look at the map together. If the kids spy something that really catches their eye, jot it down (or circle it if you printed out your map). You can always use the old "if you let Mommy visit the Van Gogh exhibit for a few minutes, we'll head to the dinosaurs right after." Be prepared for some negotiation.
While you're looking at the website, take a glance at the monthly calendar. Often times, a museum will have special exhibits directed toward children and particular age groups. Some special exhibits may have an extra cost associated with them, but if it means your child walking out of the museum with a smile on his/her face, it's a small price to pay to guarantee a return visit.
Making school appealing is one thing, but blending the two together can be a magic mix. Before you visit with your school-aged child, ask him or her what they're learning about in a particular subject. For example, if you're planning on a history museum visit, ask your child what they've just read about in their history books and check to see if there's an exhibit at the museum that deals with that topic. I recently took my daughter to an art museum and made certain to hunt out paintings on early US Presidents because she was learning about them at the time. Not only does it make learning more tactile, kids tend to retain better when they actually enjoy what they're learning about.
Museum discovery rooms are a blessing for parents with young children! Discovery rooms are usually jam-packed with hands-on artifacts, fun educational kits, and learning stations. Discovery rooms are safe, and kids won't be able to stop themselves from learning through play. They also give Mom and Dad a break from all of the walking, so don't be afraid to take a seat and relax. Kids will definitely catch your laidback vibe and relax themselves. And what's the best way for kids to learn? You guessed it.
Don't be afraid to ask the museum's staff or docents about age-appropriate areas and exhibits. They will be happy to help guide you in the right direction and many will even give you tips on shortcuts to get there in a hurry, especially if they see a meltdown brewing.
Museums tend to cater to families, and they show their love of family visits by putting interactive areas in many of the exhibition halls. Take advantage of these spots; they're created just for kids to learn about what they're seeing in that particular exhibit, so why not let them discover the museum using their five senses. You never know, they might just tell you on the drive home that they can't wait to go back again. Mission accomplished.
A great way to take the excitement out of a trip to the museum for kids is by standing in line waiting to purchase tickets. Whenever possible, if your visit isn't a last minute idea, check online to see if you can buy tickets directly from the museum's website. You may just be able to breeze past all of the families standing in the ticket queue, have your tickets scanned, and be on your merry way.
If your kids have a particular museum that they keep asking to visit again, consider purchasing a family membership. The membership queue is almost always shorter than the daily admission queue and not only will that give you extra time exploring the museum, it's good financial sense.

Can This Crisis Be Used to Build a Better Future in Argentina?
August 13, 2020 | The Nation

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA—On a recent morning, Juana ran to the corner of Cobo Avenue and Curapaligüe to make the noon demonstration. As a resident of Villa 1-11-14, the most populous slum in Buenos Aires, Juana has seen firsthand the grave danger the coronavirus crisis poses to Argentina's poor and disenfranchised: The cramped and crowded housing of the city's poor has turned into a virus incubator; the hand-to-mouth existence of the slum's residents has forced people to continue working despite the threat of the pandemic; and the lack of access to adequate health care that existed before the crisis is now exacerbating the deadly situation. That's why Juana turned out on May 26 along with her neighbors and a coalition of social organizations, doctors, and activists for a protest against the government's response to the crisis.
So far, Argentina hasn't been hit as hard as some other countries in Latin America: Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Chile, and especially Brazil, with its over 3 million cases, are all facing worse outbreaks. But already with nearly 250,000 cases and over 4,000 deaths, Argentina's caseload continues to climb. And according to Juana and the other women of Villa 1-11-14 I interviewed for this story, the government is not doing nearly enough to stop the virus's spread.

Juana has lived in the Villa since she immigrated from Peru 20 years ago. She's now 51, and serves as a health promoter for the organization Frente de Organizaciones en Lucha (roughly, "The united front of organizations in the struggle," or FOL). When she joined FOL, four years ago, she says she discovered "what it means to mobilize for a protest, to fight for others, not just for ourselves within the organization," an attitude that drives her work for the organization's "Berta Cáceres" soup kitchen on Francisco Cruz Avenue, a stretch that marks the eastern boundary of the slum. Every day at 11:30 since the quarantine began, people line up around the block to receive food rations—one hundred families are currently receiving rations from this kitchen, with another hundred on the waiting list. For her part, Juana walks the line, handing out information, talking to neighbors, and trying to see who is at risk and how to help them.

Patricia stands at the kitchen's door—she's responsible for making sure everyone gets their rations in an orderly fashion. Like Juana, she's a migrant: She arrived from Bolivia four years ago and joined FOL because her sister was already a member. Now, the organization represents her in its Migrar no es delito ("migration is not a crime") campaign, which fights for the rights of migrants, securing papers and fighting deportations. Every Tuesday she does volunteer work in the kitchen's dining room, carrying out all the little tasks needed to keep this solidarity machine running: cooking, receiving produce, overseeing the line. Since the coronavirus made inroads in the neighborhood earlier this year—Villa 1-11-14 has seen some of the highest infection rates in the country—she's been working twice or three times as hard to cover for her companions who have been infected or who have had to isolate themselves.

There are families in the line who have never set foot in a soup kitchen before, but with savings exhausted they now have no other option. The fund the government set up to help workers in the informal sector, the Ingreso Familiar de Emergencia, requires citizenship or naturalization papers, and many in this slum have not been able to get any relief through the fund, even with all the right papers. According to a survey by Amnesty International, the Center for Legal and Social Studies, and the Migrar no es delito campaign, among others, 58 percent of migrants surveyed were out of work and left with no source of income when the lockdown began in March of this year.
"Before, they saw us as lazy, saying that we live off funds from the government," says Ana, an FOL representative in the Riestra section of the slum who immigrated from Peru 10 years ago. But now, with little help coming from the government, it's the people of these poor neighborhoods who are coming to their own rescue.
Ana, 35 years old, from Peru. She has lived in Argentina for 10 years. In FOL, Ana helps with gender violence housing issues. Her personal experience with domestic violence led her to support many women in the neighborhood and organization. The pandemic has only increased the incidence of domestic violence in the slum. Image by Anita Pouchard Serra. Argentina, 2020.
"What the state doesn't do, we do," Ana succinctly put it.
Before the lockdown, Ana and her comrades were set to open a new soup kitchen, but the pandemic made it impossible to cook and serve food in the cramped space in a safe manner. But rather than give up, they opened the kitchen as a food distribution point: Each weekday, they walk a mile to the "Berta Cáceres" kitchen, load up their carts with food for 100 people, and walk the mile back to their kitchen, which they've named "Las guerreras del FOL."

This new method of distribution isn't without risks: "We avoid going through Perito Moreno Avenue. It's more dangerous," Andrea, one of the youngest members of FOL, told me. "One time some people robbed the convoy, taking the food and all the personal belongings from the compañeras."
But it's worth it to get food to the many families that depend on them, and it's a powerful feeling for these women to be providing for themselves. "I grew up with a macho mentality and I didn't realize it," Ana told me. "To take care of the man like a king, to listen to him." In FOL, Ana has found her freedom, and in the eight years she's been with the organization, she's seen how her compañeras have grown as women as well—she remembers the shyness of the women when they joined the group, and the assertiveness they now adopt as they carry out orderly food distribution for their neighbors.

The pandemic is not Argentina's first crisis, and FOL has been fighting for a more just country for years. Susana migrated from Bolivia in 2002 into the midst of a political and economic crisis, when bank accounts were frozen and inflation spiraled out of control. Now, at 49, Susana makes up part of FOL's cleaning crew. As she winds her way through the alleyways of the slum, she calls out "Collection! Garbage collection!" Since the pandemic hit, this crew is also disinfecting the neighborhood, armed with work pants, protective gloves, masks, and glasses. After her shift, she also works on the group's publicity, writing up the day's activities and taking pictures to be distributed over WhatsApp, keeping her neighbors informed.
Andrea, 22 years old, from Bolivia. She has been in Argentina for six years. Leaving her country was not a personal choice: Her parents forced her to go. In the beginning it was hard for her, but after going back to Bolivia alone for a few months, she finally decided to stay in Buenos Aires. Today she represents FOL in the campaign Migrar no es delito ("migration is not a crime"), helping other women in the neighborhood to secure legal residency. Image by Anita Pouchard Serra. Argentina, 2020.

On the day I followed Susana, she got some bad news: As a frontline worker, she had come into contact with someone who had contracted the virus. She isolated herself for several weeks in a hotel room made available by the state for patients with mild cases. Thankfully, she didn't have to go to Piñero Hospital, an underfunded and overstretched institution that most 1-11-14 residents fear entering.

As the day winds down, the women of FOL clean up the soup kitchens, disinfect the surfaces they'll use the next day, and talk about the promises the government has made but has failed to deliver on. The 10,000 pesos promised to everyone with at least two years' residence? Many people in this slum have had their requests rejected for no clear reason. The cleaning kits touted by Buenos Aires Mayor Horacio Rodriguez Larreta? No one here in 1-11-14 has seen them. Instead, the women migrants of this section of Buenos Aires are making do themselves, as best they can, together.
