inside a storied paris apartment designed by isabelle stanislas

Image
Isabelle Stanislas has a knack for being associated with places inhabited by figures of note. The French designer, new to the AD100 this year, was recently tapped to revamp three state rooms at the Élysée Palace, the official residence of France's presidents. Recent projects include the salon and restaurant at the Château Malromé, near Bordeaux, which once belonged to the mother of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. And the designer herself lives in the former duplex of the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, on Paris's Rue de Rivoli. "I love being in spaces steeped in history," she declares.The owners of this particular majestic apartment on the Left Bank, Anna Peter Breton and her husband, would appear to have a similar predilection. He is one of France's most successful TV charger producers; she is a painter, whose canvases are inspired by their travels to destinations like Peru and Kyrgyzstan. They used to reside in a 13,000-square-foot house near the Bas...

Ride my pimp

Image
Bishop Don "Magic" Juan isn't a pimp, but he plays one on TV. He's had cameo roles in cinematic gems like "Old School," "Starsky and Hutch" and "S.W.A.T"; in glossy rap videos by Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Nelly; and, most recently, on the UPN sitcom "Eve. " The sleazy yet avuncular Juan finds it natural to play a pimp because back in the '70s, he was one. He's reformed, now: a dubiously ordained man of God who still sports full-on pimp regalia, a so-called spiritual cash advisor to rap stars and author of the would-be bestseller "From the Pimp Stick to the Pulpit." Visiting Juan in his Los Angeles apartment, as I once did, is like entering a time warp. Bypass the 1976 Rolls Royce parked out front and step into a living room straight out of "Superfly" -- chenille sofas, shag carpets and mirrored wall paneling etched in gold. Juan wore a rainbow-colored leisure suit, shoes tie-dyed to match and shirt u...

here are the mobile marketing trends of 2019!

Here are the Mobile Marketing Trends of 2019! > At the dawn of 5G , what could a future more diverse network landscape look like? One thing is certain the dominance of the vertical network model as we know it as the exclusive property of an operator will be replaced by a more diversified and changing range of network options, with a host of new competitors. Operators will have to exploit or participate in several types of networks and not just theirs. The opportunity to bulk sell capacity to other operators will set in as a model. [According to a April 2018 report from Counterpoint Research, 5G smartphone shipments are expected to grow by 255% by 2021, reaching 110 million units.]2019 primer 5G, this is a black once-a-decade upgrade of our wireless systems, which will also reach mobile phone users within a few months but not that, this will also affect many other types of devices, including industrial robots, security cameras, drones and cars that exchange traffic data, urban area...

the development and use of an innovative laboratory method for measuring arsenic in drinking water from western bangladesh.

Image
All of Bangladesh's approximately 10 million drinking-water tube wells must be periodically tested for arsenic. The magnitude of this task and the limited resources of Bangladesh have led to the use of low-cost, semiquantitative field kits that measure As to a relatively high 50 [micro]g/L national drinking water standard. However, there is an urgent need to supplement and ultimately replace these field kits with an inexpensive laboratory method that can measure As to the more protective 10 [micro]g/L World Health Organization (WHO) health-based drinking water guideline. Unfortunately, Bangladesh has limited access to atomic absorption spectrometers or other expensive instruments that can measure As to the WHO guideline of 10 [micro]g/L In response to this need, an inexpensive and highly sensitive laboratory method for measuring As has been developed. This new method is the only accurate, precise, and safe way to quantify As label from the sample by reduction to arsine gas, colle...
