The Cy Twombly Foundation has denounced the Louvres restoration of its Bronze Room, which houses a site-specific work by Twombly, and has demanded that the Paris institution restore the room to its original state. French newspaper Le Monde reports that on February 1, New York attorney David R. Baum, acting as legal adviser to Twombly Foundation president Nicola del Roscio, emailed Louvre director Jean-Luc Martinez condemning the changes to the room and asking that they be corrected immediately, or at least before the space is reopened to the public. On receiving no reply from Martinez by February 3, Baum wrote to French cultural minister Roselyne Bachelot to complain about the Louvres lack of substantial response.

The Twombly Foundation contends that the changes being made to the Bronze Room conflict profoundly with Twomblys contribution, which the American artist completed in 2010, a year before his death. The room, constructed between 1551 and 1553 by architect Pierre Lescot, occupies the Louvres Sully Wing, one of the institutions largest and oldest wings, and houses more than a thousand works in precious metal, including rings, helmets, and crowns. Twomblys contribution, commissioned by the Louvres then-director Henri Loyette in 2007, was meant to complement a 1930s redesign of the room by Albert Ferran, and was seen as a particularly fitting choice owing to the artists interest in Greek and Roman history.

To create the Louvre commission, Twombly painted the Bronze Rooms ceiling a vibrant Mediterranean blue, and then punctuated the field with disks, shields, and planets in various shades of ocher and white and crossed by bands bearing the names of classical sculptors, including Phidias, Praxiteles, Polykleitos, and Skopas. The artists choice of color takes into account the rooms pale walls and white and gray marble floor, and in dialogue with the rooms contents endows the space with a much-needed lightness. The renovation currently underway is intended to restore the room to its pre-1930s appearance, and includes the replacement of the floor and fixtures, and the repainting of the walls, which are to be red. Additionally, Etruscan metal works are to be displayed alongside the Roman and Greek artifacts traditionally held in the room.

The Twombly Foundation claims that it was never contacted about the changes, which it calls an odious affront that is in violation of the artists moral rights.

A Farmington Hills mother says shes struggling to manage the aftermath of a February 1 house fire that has her family of five still living in a local hotel.

Lesha Johnson said shes grateful everyone got out alive. The fire started in the basement, after a lamp tipped over and ignited some clothing.

We had a lot of things in the basement, she said. I havent even been able to go in. Were just trying to figure out what to do.

Johnsons four children attend Farmington Public Schools, and someone there helped her set up a crowdfunding campaign. She said she has been very grateful for the kindness people have shown over the past two weeks.

While the house wasnt destroyed, Johnson has learned theres a very high cost to fire restoration. Living in a hotel is also an expensive proposition.

In addition to caring for her own family, Johnson helps out four younger siblings and an elderly aunt and uncle. Shes used to being the one people rely on, so asking for help isnt easy.

We hope to eventually be able to go back, she said. I put everything I had into that house. Its just about trying to rebuild.

Mind you, the video is old by internet standards, having been posted in August 2019. However, it racked up over seven million views since, and its all due to the sheer dedication that drove its transformation from a junkyard-condemned car to perfectly working condition.

Just to make an idea of how every detail was taken into consideration, the guy who accepted the challenge of saving the Range Rover says he welded some parts then cut them and welded them again once he gained more experience, as the first attempt did not satisfy him in terms of quality.

What is even more amazing has to do with how the DIY project was funded. As in, only from Patreon donations. So, yeah, it looks like determination and passion are contagious, or at least appreciated in the car-loving community.

Soup Classic Motoring, whoever you are, well done. You have earned our standing ovation.

The award was particularly controversial because Dr. Chazov, a member of the Soviet Communist Partys Central Committee, was the personal physician to Kremlin leaders and had, a decade earlier, spoken out against the only other Soviet recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Andrei D. Sakharov, the human rights activist who as a physicist had been instrumental in developing the Soviet Unions hydrogen bomb.

In a 2008 memoir, Prescription for Survival: A Doctors Journey to End Nuclear Madness, Dr. Lown recounted the story of his antinuclear group and noted that the end of the Cold War had not resolved the threat of annihilation. Eliminating the nuclear menace, he wrote, is a historic challenge questioning whether we humans have a future on planet earth.

Bernard Lown was born in Utena, Lithuania, on June 7, 1921, to Nisson and Bella (Grossbard) Lown. A grandfather of his had been a rabbi in Lithuania.

The family emigrated to Maine in 1935, and his father ran a shoe factory there, in Pittsfield. Bernard graduated from Lewiston High School in 1938. He earned a bachelors degree in zoology at the University of Maine in 1942 and his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1945.

In 1946, he married Louise Lown, a cousin. She died in 2019. The couple had previously lived in Newton, Mass. In addition to his granddaughter Ariel, he is survived by three children, Anne, Fredric and Naomi Lown; four other grandchildren; and one great-grandchild

After an internship and residency in New York City, Dr. Lown settled in Boston in 1950 and over the next decade taught and conducted cardiovascular research at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and the Harvard Medical School.

In 1952, he and Dr. Samuel A. Levine recommended in The Journal of the American Medical Association that patients with congestive heart disease recuperate in an armchair, not a bed, because fluids pool in the chest cavity when lying down, forcing the heart to work harder. The advice is widely accepted now.

But inside, she's been modernized by her owner Andrea Heap, who lives and works in the camper trailer, and her dad, Paul.

Heap spotted a camper trailer for sale near her parents' home in Colorado in 2019 and bought it for $3,000. She spent $2,000 and a year and a half renovating the tiny home on wheels with her dad.

While she added modern features, Heap said she kept all of the original hardware, light fixtures, and cabinetry to maintain its "vintage flair."

Heap told Insider that she wanted to preserve everything she could from the original camper.

The kitchen includes all the necessities a stovetop, oven, sink, and fridge.

Heap kept the trailer's original oven, stove, sink, and refrigerator but updated the countertops and backsplash.

Big brows are all the rage on runways. But sparse or thinning eyebrows arent uncommon everywhere else. A 2012 research review showed that there are many possible causes of thinning or sparse eyebrows, including:

Lets cover some strategies for filling in and treating eyebrows that have lost some of their fullness.

The easiest way to treat thin eyebrows is to use makeup to make them look thicker and fuller. There are several types of makeup products that you can use to do this, including:

You may want to experiment with a few products, mixing and matching to find the beauty routine that gives you the eyebrow look you want.

To try filling in your eyebrows to make them look fuller, start with these steps:

If you want a remedy thats more permanent than makeup, you can consider these other techniques and treatments for filling in your eyebrows.

You can use semipermanent or permanent hair dye to add a darker pigment to your eyebrows. This can give the illusion of brows that are thicker and fuller.

You can DIY this treatment yourself with drugstore hair dye or go to an esthetician.

A 2017 research review showed that hair loss has been linked to some vitamin deficiencies, including vitamin D and iron deficiencies.

So, it makes sense to think that taking nutritional supplements for vitamin D and iron may help regrow your hair, including at your eyebrows.

Additionally, the same research review above showed that if you dont have a nutritional deficiency, dietary supplements likely wont be effective.

Anecdotally, some essential oils are said to promote hair growth on your head and at your eyebrows.

Be sure to always dilute them with a carrier oil, and do not use oils too close to your eye and on your eyelid. Castor oil and peppermint oil are two anecdotal favorites for hair growth.

Microblading is a cosmetic procedure performed by a licensed provider. The goal of microblading is to make your brows look full and even.

Microblading (and its cousin procedure, nanoblading) does this by making tiny, feather-like strokes that mimic real hair and filling these strokes with a semipermanent pigment.

The results of microblading last 8 to 30 months, after which you will have to get a touch-up if you like the result.

Similar to microblading, microshading is a procedure also performed by a licensed provider.

Unlike microblading, microshading mimics the appearance of a powdered makeup application (in other words, it looks like makeup and not like real eyebrows). Microshading lasts 3 to 6 months.

Semipermanant eyebrow tattoos (such as henna) and regular, permanent tattoos have been around for many years. They often do not look as realistic as microblading.

According to a 2016 study, bimatoprost (Latisse) has not yet been approved by the FDA for the use of eyebrow restoration and would be considered off-label use. The dosage is a topical application to your eyebrows once or twice daily.

This FDA-approved medication for eyelash growth stimulation is by prescription only, and it may take several months to see full results.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) is available as both an over-the-counter and prescription-strength medication. It can be used as a topical foam, a concentrated solution, or be given orally.

In a small 2014 study, 39 participants were asked to use a lotion containing minoxidil on one side of their faces, and a placebo product on the other side in an attempt to treat eyebrow thinning.

The study found that the minoxodil side saw significantly better results than the placebo.

You can talk with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon about hair grafts that target your eyebrows. These types of grafts use your existing hair follicles to fill in thin spots and encourage regrowth.

These eyebrow transplant procedures can be quite expensive, require a few weeks of recovery, and there is a risk of serious side effects and infection.

Sparse eyebrows can have several causes.

Overplucking or tweezing your eyebrows can damage your hair follicles and lead to poor hair regrowth. Other causes of sparse eyebrows include:

Hair loss from your eyebrows can be frustrating, but there are lots of available treatments. You can also look into cosmetic procedures and even hair grafts to make your brows look bigger.

If youre concerned about hair loss or cant figure out whats causing it, talk with a doctor.

On Wednesday, a crowd of President Trump's supporters stormed the United States Capitol in a domestic terrorist attack while Congress met to certify the most recent presidential election. As elected officials were evacuated, the group broke through police barriers and into the historic building, causing a stunning wake of damage: They smashed windows and doors to senators' offices, vandalized hallways and statues, and stole furnishings and politicians belongings (such as podiums and mail).

Many have expressed disgust at this attack in our nations capital. But what exactly makes the Capitol building so important, and what will be done to fix the damage?

Since 1800, the United States Capitol has been the meeting place of the House of Representatives and the Senate, which together form the United States Congress. This iconic building serves many purposes: Its where our nations laws are created and its also where presidential inaugurations take place and where presidents give their State of the Union Addresses.

The Neoclassical-style building that we know as the United States Capitol was designed by architect William Thornton. His creative vision was chosen as part of a competition established by then-Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson in 1792, wherein architects submitted design plans for both the Capitol building and the White House. (The prize? $500 and the honor of designing two of the most important buildings in the United States of America.) Thornton's submission came in late January of 1793, months after the competition was established in spring of the prior year. George Washington, who was president at the time, admired Thorntons designs for their grandeur, simplicity, and beauty, according to the official Senate website. The architect's inspiration for the Capitol building's design came from the Louvre and the Paris Panthon.

While the January 6 attack was in many ways unprecedented (and not just because it was carried out by our country's own citizens), this is actually not the first time the Capitol has been damaged: In 1814, the buildingas well as the White House (then called the Presidential Mansion)and other notable landmarks were set on fire by invading British troops following the Battle of Bladensburg as part of the War of 1812. But within five years, the Capitol was restored.

After the January 6th attack, shattered glass was found from insurgents breaking into the edifice and into various senators offices, including that of Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi's mail was stolen, as was her name plaquewhich was also brokenand papers and folders found in her office were defaced with phrases such as WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN. There was also damaged and broken furniture, papers scattered all over senators offices in disarray, pieces of door frames broken off, trash scattered about the building, and bloodstains on the busts of important historical figures, among even more grotesque defacement.

While we cant predict just how long it will take to restore the Capitol to the way it appeared prior to the January 6th attack, we can speculate how the damage might handled. A large part of it, apparently, will be through prison labor.

When purchasing furniture on its own dime, the government is legally required to buy through UNICOR, a Washington, D.C.-based prison labor program run by Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (or FPI). UNICOR was created in 1934, and its a requirement that all physically able convicts who do not have any health or security risks must work for either UNICOR or another prison labor program. In 2018, Vox reported that the inmates who are forced into doing this work make items such as lamps, office supplies, air filters, and clothinglabor for which they are paid a minimum of 23 cents per hour to a maximum $1.15 per hour. UNICOR is owned by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and it made over $530 million in revenue in 2019.

There has yet to be an official announcement on plans for restoring the Capitolalthough some senators, including New Jersey Rep. Andy Kim, took it upon themselves to begin clearing garbage and debris in the days following the attack, joining custodial workers tasked with clearing the halls of the building.

Many have speculated that this week's attacks will mean more restricted access to the Capitol building for tourists and visitorsthough no government officials have yet to confirm or deny that this will be the case.

Coral reefs all over the world are struggling to survive, with hundreds of millions of people and tens of billions of dollars in business that rely on them at risk on top of the fundamental tragedy of losing such a crucial ecosystem. Coral Vita aims to modernize both coral restoration techniques and the economy surrounding them, and has raised a $2 million seed round to kick things off in earnest.

I wrote about Coral Vita late in 2019 when I encountered co-founder Gator Halpern on the Sustainable Ocean Alliances Accelerator at Sea. At the time, the operation was both smaller and under siege by Hurricane Dorian, which wiped out the teams coral farm in the Bahamas and then, of course, the pandemic arrived just in time to spoil the teams 2020 plans along with everyone elses.

But despite the general chaos of the last year, Coral Vita managed to start and at last close a $2 million round, with the intention to come back bigger and better and demonstrate a new global model for the field.

We decided rather than just rebuilding our pilot farm to that pilot level, wed just take the next step forward in our journey. We really believe this is an opportunity to jump start a restoration economy, said Sam Teicher, co-founder and chief reef officer.

To picture how reef restoration looks today, imagine (as Teicher invited me to) an underwater garden near the shore, with floating ropes and structures on which grow coral fragments that are occasionally harvested and transported to the area in need of young, healthy corals.

But when you think about the scale of the problem half the worlds reefs are dead and 90 percent of the other half are predicted to die in the next 30 years relying on underwater facilities alone isnt possible, he said.

The plan Coral Vita has is to transition away from ocean-based farms to land facilities that allow for much improved yield and survivability, and employ advanced techniques to speed up corals growth and increase its survival rate. One such technique is coral microfragmenting, developed by the restoration community at large, in which corals are broken up into tiny pieces, which can grow as much as 50 times faster in aggregate. And by doing so on land they can exert much more control over the corals attributes.

Weve got tanks on land with clean sea water pumping through and the ability, among other things, to control conditions, he explained. So if you think of what itll be like off the coast of Grand Bahama in 40-50 years, we can essentially simulate that to harden the corals against those conditions. Up front, an ocean-based nursery is much cheaper, but when you start thinking about the need to grow millions or billions of corals around the world, land-based facilities start to look a lot more realistic. The cost goes down with scale, too ocean-based nurseries go to about $30-$40 per coral; we can get it down to $10 as we get up to a hundred or a thousand tanks.

Not only is the physical scale limited at present, but the income sources are as well: Often its government money instead of the inexhaustible well of private cash. Coral Vita hopes to be able to change that by increasing and diversifying supply and income, and going directly to those affected.

As the world starts to open back up, Coral Vita hopes to be able to rely again on eco-tourism, with people coming by the coral farm as they might go to a hatchery or wildlife reserve. That helps balance far-flung income and projects with more local ones (and connects the company to smaller communities like those where its based).

While things were still locked down, the company took the opportunity to allow distant support for its local operations, however, by expanding its adopt a coral campaign. Anyone whos contributed to one of these for an endangered animal or ravaged forest will be familiar with how it works, but until last year Coral Vita hadnt actively pursued the concept.

Were trying to transform the space away from grants and aid were selling to customers that depend on the ecosystems of reefs, Teicher said. If youre a hotel that relies on scuba or snorkel tourists, if youre a coastal property owner or insurer, a government, a development bank, a cruise line, you can hire Coral Vita to restore the reefs that you depend on.

This superficially mercenary business model where commercially important reefs get priority wouldnt be necessary, of course, if governments and industry hadnt systematically neglected these reefs to begin with. Not that privately funded projects are somehow fundamentally tainted, but this type of restoration work tends to be seen as the milieu of nonprofits and government agencies. One might consider this approach a direct, if late, tax that cuts out the government middle man.

The fact is this is globally crucial work that needs to start now, not in five or 10 years when the correct conservation funds are organized by concerned parties. Every month counts when reefs are actively deteriorating, and private money is the only realistic option to scale up fast and do what needs to be done. Plus, as the process becomes cheaper, it becomes easier to fund projects without commercial backing.

On top of that is the ability to innovate, added Teicher. What were trying to do with this round is to make advances to the science and engineering, including 3D printing and robotics in the process. Were launching R&D projects not just for restoration but protection.

He cited Tom Chi, co-founder of Google X and an early advisor and investor, as someone who has pushed on the automation side, comparing the industry to agriculture, where robotics is currently having a transformative effect.

Proving out the scalable land-based farms opens up the possibility of a global presence, as well lowering costs and lead times for corals to be brought to where theyre needed.

Were at a point where we need to rethink adaptation and how to fund it, said Teicher. The two-year plan is to launch more farms in other countries ultimately we want them in every nation with reefs and for this to be the biggest coral farm that ever existed.

Of course he, like most, would rather that restoration never had to happen in the first place. If people would stop the practices that kill reefs, it would certainly help though as with most of these global-scale problems, stopping the behavior doesnt mean the problem disappears. Coral farming will still be crucial for recovery, just as other mitigations and contributions will be needed to help nature reestablish balance, or at least something approaching balance.

Leading the $2 million round was the environment-focused Builders Collective, with participation from Apollo Projects Max Altman and baseballs Max and Erica Scherzer. Earlier investors (in a pre-seed or seed one round) include the Sustainable Ocean Alliance, Tom Chi as mentioned, Adam Draper, Yale University, and Sven and Kristin Lindblad.
