Courtesy SDIS 33/Handout via REUTERS SAINT-MAGNE, France — Firefighters from across Europe came to France’s rescue on Friday to battle a massive wildfire, while fire also raged in Portugal and parts of England faced a severe drought, as successive heatwaves renewed the focus on climate change risks. Much of Europe has faced weeks of baking temperatures that have also depleted water levels of the Rhine River in Germany and seen the source of Britain’s River Thames dry up further downstream than in previous years. High temperatures and a worsening drought brought a high risk of new fires breaking out in Gironde, in southwestern France, local officials said, even after an overnight reprieve held in check the wildfire that has been burning for days, scorched thousands … [Read more...] about Drought in England, fires rage in France as heatwave persists
France Travel: Tension With Tourists Amid Drought And ‘Monstrous’ Fires
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Like many of its neighbors, France is feeling the full blow of environmental catastrophes during summer 2022. It is currently experiencing ferocious fires, drought, water restrictions and subsequent cuts in food production—and in some cases, tensions are rising between tourists and locals over water use. The French Prime Minister has promised to revisit the management of climate change with the utmost importance, as EU countries are sending in firefighters and equipment to help tackle an "ogre-like" fire, of a size and ferocity rarely seen in the country. Forest fires are common in France during summer but notably in more southern areas. This year, however, 56,000 hectares of forest have already been lost to fire—a figure that The Guardian reported is more than three times the annual average this decade. More worrying is that fires have been raging in parts of the country that are not normally affected—in … [Read more...] about France Travel: Tension With Tourists Amid Drought And ‘Monstrous’ Fires
Harry’s Table By Cipriani Makes Market Shopping Chic On New York’s Upper West Side
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin New Yorkers have never wanted for Italian specialties shops, but New Yorkers have never seen anything quite like the new Harry’s Table by Cipriani (hereafter HTC), outside of the stunning, long-lived PECK in Milan, and far more appealing than the touristy New York EATALY stores. In its breadth of space alone—28,000 square feet—HTC sets an unhurried pace, and, while sometime in the future it may be jammed, for the moment the eight-week-old market is a civilized pleasure to visit, shop in and eat at. HTC is located at ground level in the dwarfing, monolithic Two Waterline Square, near Lincoln Center, from which it currently draws most of its clientele. Since parking (outside of an expensive lot) is almost impossible, dropping by for those who do not live in the area will require you take a taxi or car service. The sprawling food market is the first by the Cipriani family, whose legendary history dates back to 1931, … [Read more...] about Harry’s Table By Cipriani Makes Market Shopping Chic On New York’s Upper West Side

Here are a few reasons you need to dig into this charming series starting Aug. 18. Selena is us OK, well, maybe not exactly. She is a superstar with a fat bank account.

Especially with her Nana and Papa and BFF Raquelle cheering her on from the sidelines. Selena is up for anything, whether it’s skinning a whole fish or deep-frying, though she did need an assist when opening a coconut.
