A Glimpse Inside a Florentine Silk-Weaving Workshop
In a quiet corner of the bohemian district of San Frediano, hidden behind an 18th-century iron gate that opens onto a whimsical wisteria-covered alleyway, lies a Florentine cultural treasure: the Antico Setificio Fiorentino , or Antique Florentine Silk Mill, which has been producing precious textiles since 1786. To enter through the atelier’s large, worn timber door is to slip back through time and revisit the enchantment and beauty of a more opulent era. Inside, 18th- and 19th-century timber and iron looms, some towering over 16 feet tall, clatter furiously in rhythm with tens of thousands of luminous silk threads, weaving warp and weft yarns into sumptuous fabrics, guided by the skilled hands of a select team of expert artisans. Since moving to Italy in 2003, I’ve grown increasingly fascinated with the country’s highly talented artisans, their intriguing workshops and the quality of their products, particularly in the Tuscan capital of Florence. When I … [Read more...] about A Glimpse Inside a Florentine Silk-Weaving Workshop
He’s a top-ranked basketball prodigy. But should an 8-year-old be ranked at all?
King Tari Johnson is a 4-foot-8, 91½-pound 8-year-old from Stockton whose mother packs his Looney Tunes lunchbox with ham, salami and cheese sandwiches she cuts into his favorite shapes: stars, footballs and, of course, basketballs. He’s also the future of the NBA. At least, that’s what a couple of websites that track this sort of thing want you to believe. King Tari, with his smooth ballhandling, advanced footwork and deep shooting range, is considered one of the nation’s best third-grade basketball players. If all goes as planned, he could be a household name in, oh, about a decade. As for the near term? King Tari just wants a growth spurt. Of all the potential pitfalls on his path to the NBA, genes might prove his undoing: His father stands 5-10, and his mom is 5-2. “I’m hoping he grows to be at least 6 feet,” said Tari Johnson, King Tari’s dad and personal trainer. “That would definitely help his chances of getting to the league.” King Tari, a giggly, soft-spoken boy who … [Read more...] about He’s a top-ranked basketball prodigy.

Woman swindled elderly mother out of art worth $140M using ‘psychics’ who claimed it was cursed, police say
An elderly Brazilian woman’s daughter was part of a bizarre scheme to swindle her mother out of more than $100 million worth of art by using a ring of supposed psychics who claimed the paintings were cursed, police said. Sabine Coll Boghici, 48, plotted to defraud Genevieve Boghici, 82, out of art, jewelry and money worth around 724 million reais, or $142.42 million, police in Rio de Janeiro said in a statement . At least 16 paintings were stolen from the senior, who was the widow of late art collector Jean Boghici, police said, adding that works by celebrated Brazilian artists like Cicero Dias, Rubens Gerchman and Alberto Guignard were among those taken. Three of the works by modernist painter Tarsila do Amaral, were estimated by police to be worth around 700 million reais, or $137.69 million, alone. At least seven people were suspected of involvement in the years-long plot, police said after Coll Boghici was arrested Wednesday. Several others were also arrested and … [Read more...] about Woman swindled elderly mother out of art worth $140M using ‘psychics’ who claimed it was cursed, police say
Moderna CEO says Covid vaccines will evolve like ‘an iPhone’
(CNN Business) Forget taking two to three Covid shots a year. Moderna hopes to roll out a single-dose annual booster to cover the coronavirus, the flu and another common respiratory virus within the next five years. As Covid-19 continues to mutate , Moderna will need to keep updating the vaccines that turned it into a global household name while trying to make it more convenient for consumers, CEO Stéphane Bancel said in an interview with CNN Business Wednesday. He estimated a timeline of "three to five years" for the new combined product, and likened the development of the life-saving jab to that of a smartphone. "You don't get the amazing camera, amazing everything the first time you get an iPhone, but you get a lot of things," he said. "A lot of us buy a new iPhone every September, and you get new apps and you get refreshed apps. And that's exactly the same idea, which is you'll get Covid and flu and RSV [ respiratory syncytial virus ] in … [Read more...] about Moderna CEO says Covid vaccines will evolve like ‘an iPhone’
‘I Don’t Talk to Any of My Normal Friends About This’
Illustration: Cold War Steve When Tesla looked like it might fail to launch its first mass-market sedan in 2018, a battle with enormous stakes — billions of dollars, thousands of jobs, the electrification of the global automotive industry — was fought principally online. On one side, skeptical investors and journalists with a compelling case that the company was doomed; on the other, an informal army of Tesla owners and Elon Musk devotees who rallied to his defense. Musk won, and he continues to derive enormous value from his social-media legions. While Ford spends $3 billion a year on marketing, Tesla spends zero, and it’s principally Musk who generates buzz for the brand via Twitter, where he is in direct, nearly constant contact with the fan base. Recently, New York asked two committed members of this cohort to discuss what compels them to support the cause. Kim Paquette , a flight attendant from Newport, Rhode Island, with 40,000 followers : At first it … [Read more...] about ‘I Don’t Talk to Any of My Normal Friends About This’
