How Audrey Hepburn Risked Death to Help the Dutch Resistance in World War II | Open Culture

…In the autumn of 1944, “she and her family kept a British paratrooper in their basement, the latest act in a series of defiances,” writes Den of Geek’s David Crow. “By the following winter, they too would be living down there, wary to even crawl out of ‘bed’ as the bombs fell on their small Dutch village of Velp.” Eventually, “after what was left of their food was depleted, they ate tulip bulbs. When those were gone, they ate the weeds.”

 

 

Endured at such a young age, this ordeal had lasting effects. “The deprivations would haunt Audrey the rest of her days, informing her svelte frame and, Matzen argues, possibly her early death from appendiceal cancer.” No wonder, then, that she remained fairly taciturn about her war even after becoming an internationally famous actress (an alternative to her first dream of dancing). Hence the formidable challenge laid before Matzen in the research that went into what became Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II, which you can hear him discuss in the Storytellers’ Studio video just above. Her story turned out differently from Anne Frank’s — which itself, as Matzen argues, beset her with a kind of “survivor’s guilt” — but now, both of them live on as icons of the twentieth century at its lightest and darkest.

Căpitan de plai – ore de drum

Luxor, 2018, Paris 2024

Cerul i-a fost dăruit cu toate cele. Țările străine erau sortite să ajungă sub sandalele sale, așa cum e scris în stele și în Ramesseum, templul său funerar de pe malul stâng al Nilului, la limita dintre deșert și pământuri cultivate.

Ca să plasez personajul în mediul sau natural, revin la Musée d’Orsay, de a cărui secție de orientaliști nu mă satur niciodată.

Descendent de militari și fiu de zeu, Ramses II a fost desemnat de mic să-i urmeze, pe tronul Egiptului, tatălui său, Seti I, care-l pregătește pentru această responsabilitate cum știe el mai bine,

dăruindu-i, printre altele, un harem bine garnisit la împlinirea vârstei de zece anișori…

Is the future of farming inside? We visit Compton’s indoor farm to find out | LAist

Why farm indoors?

Within 100,000 square feet, the farm can grow some four million pounds of spinach, kale, spring mix and arugula every year. That amount adds up to about 16 million of those packages of greens we see at the grocery store. And it’s produced within a much smaller area than what’s need to grow the same amount outside.

They sell at Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Gelson’s and most Walmarts in Southern California. They just launched a partnership with 7/11 to sell salads there too.

“We want to be able to deliver a locally grown fresh product and part of that is how do we get it closer to the people who are eating it?” Santy said. “Some of that is about growing in a more urban and dense area like Compton.”
