Les Quatre Filles du docteur March () est un film américain en noir et blanc réalisé par George Cukor, sorti en 1933, adapté du roman éponyme de Louisa May Alcott (1868).

Synopsis
Le film raconte l'histoire de quatre jeunes filles américaines durant la guerre de Sécession, dans la petite ville de Concord (Massachusetts) : Margaret, surnommée « Meg » (Frances Dee), Joséphine, surnommée « Jo » (Katharine Hepburn), Elizabeth, surnommée « Beth » (Jean Parker) et Amy (Johan Bennett). Elle appartiennent à la classe moyenne de la société, leur père ayant perdu la fortune de la famille au profit d'un homme d'affaires sans scrupules plusieurs années plus tôt.

Meg, conventionnelle, rêve d'une vie de famille ressemblant à celle de ses parents ; Jo, le garçon manqué et écrivain en herbe de la famille, divertit tout le monde avec ses nouvelles et ses pièces de théâtre ; Beth, gentille, douce et timide, aime la musique et joue du piano ; Amy, ravissante et coquette, aux goûts de luxe, aime la peinture et le dessin. Mais les quatre sœurs ont en commun la générosité, la gaieté, l'amour et l'admiration pour leurs parents.

Meg travaille comme gouvernante chez les King, une famille riche ; Jo doit tenir compagnie à sa tante March (Edna May Oliver), une vieille dame acariâtre et ronchonne ; Beth, trop timide pour aller à l'école, reste à la maison où elle aide Hannah (Mabel Colcord), la vieille servante, pour les tâches ménagères et s'exerce sur le vieux piano désaccordé de la famille ; Amy va à l'école, où elle se fait souvent réprimander.

Alors que M. March (Samuel S. Hinds) sert dans l'armée de l'Union comme aumonier, Mme March (Spring Byington), affectueusement appelée « Marmee » par ses filles, maintient la famille unie et enseigne aux filles l'importance de donner aux moins fortunés que eux-mêmes.

Le film commence la veille de Noël. Meg, Jo et Amy rentrent à la maison où Beth et Hannah les accueillent. Les quatre sœurs déplorent l'absence de cadeaux pour Noël, mais décident finalement d'acheter chacune un cadeau pour leur mère : Meg lui offre des gants, Jo des pantoufles, Beth des mouchoirs et Amy une bouteille d'eau de Cologne. Mme March rentre à la maison avec une lettre de M. March engageant ses filles à employer l'année à devenir meilleures. Émues, les quatre jeunes filles se promettent de combattre leurs ennemis intérieurs. Le lendemain, elles offrent leurs cadeaux à Mme March et acceptent de bon cœur de se priver de petit-déjeuner pour le donner à la pauvre famille Hummel, qui habite près de chez eux.

La fougueuse Jo, à la recherche d'une compagnie masculine, se lie d'amitié avec Théodore Laurence surnommé Laurie (Douglas Montgomerry), le petit-fils du voisin riche mais acariâtre, James Laurence (Henry Stephenson). Ce dernier, impressionné par la franchise de Jo et son effet bénéfique sur son petit-fils, invite les sœurs March à un bal costumé dans sa somptueuse maison. Au bal, Meg est courtisée par John Brooke (John Lodge), le précepteur de Laurie, et Jo consent à danser avec Laurie pendant qu'Amy et Beth regardent la scène depuis l'escalier. Le comportement bourru de M. Laurence s'adoucit lors de sa rencontre avec Beth, qui lui rappelle la petite-fille bien-aimée qu'il a perdue, et lorsqu'il apprend son talent musical, il lui propose d'utiliser son piano à queue. Malgré sa timidité, la jeune fille accepte. La belle soirée se termine sur une note amère, cependant, quand Amy et Beth entendent la snob Mme Gardiner et sa fille raconter des ragots à propos de Mme March, prétendant qu'elle a l'intention de marier l'une de ses filles à Laurie. Indignées, les sœurs quittent la soirée. Dans la précipitation, Meg oublie son gant, que M. Brooke conserve avec soin. Plus tard dans la nuit, Jo demande à sa mère les projets qu'elle a formées pour elles : Mme March explique alors à sa fille qu'elle préférerait les voir mariées à des hommes pauvres mais heureuses en ménage qu'avec des hommes riches qui ne les rendront pas heureuses. Jo forme la résolution de ne jamais se marier.

De son côté, Beth profite de l'offre de M. Laurence pour aller jouer sur son beau piano tous les jours. Un jour de printemps, elle confie à Jo qu'elle a l'intention d'offrir des pantoufles au vieux monsieur pour le remercier de sa gentillesse. Jo approuve le projet de sa petite sœur et lui confie de son côté qu'elle a fini son roman et qu'elle espère le voir imprimé dans le journal. Elle sort confier son manuscrit à un éditeur et, sur le chemin du retour, bavarde avec Laurie qui lui apprend que M. Brooke a conservé le gant de Meg. Craignant qu'un mariage entre les deux jeunes gens ne rompe le lien entre les sœurs, Jo tente de décourager Meg de ses sentiments de plus en plus profonds pour M. Brooke. Laurie rentre chez lui et Meg rentre à la maison. Restée seule dans le jardin, Jo est désespérée. Au même moment, Beth rentre des courses et Jo lui demande de ne jamais quitter la famille. Au même instant, les sœurs appellent Beth du salon pour lui montrer une surprise : pour la remercier des pantoufles, M. Laurence lui a offert un splendide piano qui appartenait autrefois à sa petite-fille. Bouleversée, Beth oublie sa timidité et décide d'aller remercier le vieux monsieur seule, à la surprise générale. Une fois près de lui, la jeune fille tente de formuler ses remerciements, mais les mots lui manquent et, dans un élan de gratitude, elle met ses bras autour du cou de M. Laurence et l'embrasse. Touché, le vieux monsieur prend Beth sur ses genoux. Désormais, tous deux deviennent de très bons amis, à tel point que l'on dirait un grand-père et sa petite-fille.

Quelques jours plus tard, Mme March reçoit un télégramme l'informant que son mari, blessé, est hospitalisé à l'hôpital militaire de Washington. Jo demande à sa riche tante March de prêter de l'argent à sa mère pour le voyage en train, mais la tante critique violemment le comportement du père des quatre filles. Indignée, Jo tourne les talons et sort. Cependant, tante March vient à la maison des quatre sœurs pour remettre l'argent à Mme March en main propre. Quelques minutes plus tard, Jo arrive avec de l'argent supplémentaire. Quand sa mère lui demande comment elle se l'est procurée, Jo explique qu'elle a vendu quelque chose qui lui appartenait et retire son chapeau : elle a coupé sa magnifique chevelure brune !

Mme March part à Washington, laissant ses filles seules avec la servante Hannah, Laurie et M. Laurence. Petit à petit, les quatre sœurs commencent à délaisser leurs tâches respectives. Seule la charitable Beth continue d'effectuer les travaux qui lui sont assignés avec persévérance ; elle va notamment rendre visite aux Hummel, dont le bébé est malade. Quand elle rentre, pâle et abattue, ses sœurs la questionnent sur ce qui est arrivé. Beth explique que le bébé, atteint d'une mauvaise scarlatine, est mort dans ses bras, et que le médecin lui a conseillé de rentrer très vite pour éviter de contracter la maladie. Ses sœurs la portent dans sa chambre. Le médecin pose son diagnostic : il s'agit bien de la scarlatine. Meg et Jo, immunisées, soignent leur petite sœur, mais Amy est envoyée chez tante March, pour éviter d'attraper la scarlatine. Les semaines passent, mais l'état de Beth empire. Le médecin est formel : Mme March devrait rentrer le plus tôt possible, et si la fièvre ne tombe pas dans les heures à venir, on peut craindre le pire. Laurie informe alors Jo qu'il a envoyé un télégramme à sa mère et qu'elle arrivera dans quelques heures. Meg et Jo passent la nuit à veiller Beth, priant pour qu'elle se rétablisse. M. Laurence, très inquiet, est venu s'enquérir de l'état de la jeune fille. Soudain, Beth, plongée dans une longue torpeur, gémit avant de retomber, comme morte. Le médecin l'examine et déclare à Meg et Jo que la fièvre est tombée. Beth est sauvée. Au même moment, Mme March revient. Quelques semaines plus tard, Beth va beaucoup mieux, mais sa santé est restée fragilisée. Amy est rentrée, racontant qu'elle a rédigé un testament pendant son absence. Soudain, M. March fait irruption, introduit par Laurie. Les sœurs se jettent au cou de leur père et Jo se réjouit de voir sa famille enfin réunie. Mais quelques jours plus tard, Meg avoue son amour à John Brooke et les deux jeunes gens se fiancent.

Quelques mois plus tard, Meg épouse M. Brooke et devient mère de deux jumeaux. Laurie demande à Jo de l'épouser, mais elle refuse, expliquant qu'elle est mal à l'aise dans la haute société et souhaite consacrer sa vie à l'écriture. Très déçu, Laurie part pour l'Europe et Jo, attristée par la perte apparente de Meg et Laurie, qu'elle considère comme son meilleure ami, déménage à New York pour poursuivre sa carrière. Elle trouve un travail de gouvernante chez la famille Kirke et rencontre M. Bhaer (Paul Lukas), le professeur d'allemand des enfants Kirke, qui lui fait découvrir les musées et l'opéra. Bhaer accepte plus tard de lire les histoires de Jo, mais elle est dévastée quand il critique son travail, le rejetant comme sensationnaliste. Fondant en larmes, Jo révèle qu'elle se sent abandonnée par Laurie et blessée que tante March, qui lui avait longtemps promis un voyage en Europe, ait emmené à sa place Amy, désireuse de poursuivre une carrière de peintre. Après avoir consolé Jo, dont il est tombé amoureux, le professeur Bhaer lui conseille d'écrire avec son cœur. Jo décide de rentrer chez elle, car l'état de Beth, restée à la maison, s'est considérablement aggravé. À son retour à la maison maintenant presque vide, Jo apprend que sa bien-aimée Beth est mourante et monte pleurer dans son grenier. Mais Beth lui explique que la famille restera toujours unie, même si l'un de ses membres est parti, et lui dit qu'elle lui manquera, même au Paradis. Jo consacre les semaines suivantes à soigner Beth, qui supporte ses douleurs sans se plaindre. Beth meurt paisiblement, entourée de sa famille.

Après la mort de Beth, Jo apaise son chagrin en écrivant un roman intitulé "Ma Beth", qu'elle envoie au professeur Bhaer pour avoir son avis. Plus tard, Meg informe Jo que Laurie et Amy sont tombées amoureux en Europe et vont se marier. Bien que Jo soit heureuse pour le couple, elle réalise pour la première fois à quel point elle est seule et à quel point elle souhaite être aimée. Quelques semaines plus tard, Laurie et Amy reviennent en tant que mari et femme, et les March célèbrent joyeusement la réunion de famille. Les festivités sont interrompues lorsque le professeur Bhaer arrive avec le roman de Jo, qu'il a fait publier. Cependant, lorsque Laurie répond à la porte, Bhaer suppose à tort que Jo a épousé son ami ; il décline poliment l'invitation de Laurie à se joindre à la fête et s'en va. Mais Jo le rattrape et ils s'avouent leur amour. Tous deux s'embrassent et Bhaer propose à Jo de l'épouser. Jo accepte avec joie, puis ramène son futur mari dans la chaleur de la maison, où sa famille les attend.

Autour du film
Le succès du film de Cukor mit à la mode l'adaptation cinématographique des classiques de la littérature. Le réalisateur tourna par la suite David Copperfield (1935) de Dickens, Roméo & Juliette de Shakespeare et Le Roman de Marguerite Gautier d'Alexandre Dumas fils.

Citations
Pour George Cukor, le réalisateur, Les Quatre Filles du docteur March n'était, avant qu'il s'y intéressât, rien d'autre qu'un roman pour gamines : « Quand je commençai à le lire, je n'en revins pas. En fait ce livre n'est ni mièvre ni sentimental, mais plein de force. C'est une fresque merveilleuse de la vie de famille en Nouvelle-Angleterre, témoignant d'une admirable rigueur morale tout imprégnée de l'esprit de sacrifice et d'austérité propre à l'époque. »

On Tuesday 15th August the Bid and Marketing teams (James Fairclough, Jenna Swain, Neale McMaster, Aman Kundi, David Elston and Helen Hart) were involved in a Lendahand community day at the Dogs Trust in Kenilworth.
The day allowed the teams to walk and look after neglected dogs, support the behavioural work of the centre, and exercise the dogs. The majority of the dogs they worked with have now found a new home!


The European Central Bank (ECB) has published a working paper on cash management and payment choices in order to explain cash usage despite various payment innovations.
The working paper is a simulation model based on two optimal cash management and payment policies. First, cash is preferred to other payment instruments whenever consumers have enough balances at hand. Second, it is optimal for consumers to hold a stock of cash for precautionary reasons. The two models have been tested with data from Canada, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
The results of the simulations show that both optimal policies are operating in Canada, France and Germany but, to a lesser extent in the Netherlands. Indeed, a significant fraction of low-value transactions are paid with cards even though Dutch consumers have enough cash on hand.
The ECB notes that cash is still perceived as less costly than cards by consumers in France, Germany and Canada. The case of the Netherlands, where consumers use cards more intensively, is the result of a set of strategies in order to increase debit card usage and acceptance. The Netherlands encourage merchants to adopt the payment card and deter retailers from imposing a surcharge on low-value debit card payments. An interesting example is the number of active POS terminals among retailers with an increase of 35 percent in the first six years of this set of strategies. Finally, in contrast to Canada and Germany, cash withdrawals are usually free in the Netherlands, so people do not carry high cash balances.
The working paper shows that political decisions can change payment behavior in the retail sector. The limited acceptance of alternatives to cash encourages the public to hold more cash for precautionary reasons and to use more cash in payments.
Future researches will be needed to answer the questions raised by this analysis. Why german consumers are more cash oriented than others? Why consumers in the Netherlands still tend to use cash for medium- to higher-value transactions?

Mahler in Context explores the institutions, artists, thinkers, cultural movements, socio-political conditions, and personal relationships that shaped Mahler's creative output. Focusing on the contexts surrounding the artist, the collection provides a sense of the complex crosscurrents against which Mahler was reacting as conductor, composer, and human being. Topics explored include his youth and training, performing career, creative activity, spiritual and philosophical influences, and his reception after his death. Together, this collection of specially commissioned essays offers a wide-ranging investigation of the ecology surrounding Mahler as a composer and a fuller appreciation of the topics that occupied his mind as he conceived his works. Readers will benefit from engagement with lesser known dimensions of Mahler's life. Through this broader contextual approach, this book will serve as a valuable and unique resource for students, scholars, and a general readership.

Chapter 5 - Viennese Musical Associates, 1875–1883
from Part I - Formation
By Charles Youmans
The composers, performers, teachers, and fellow pupils with whom Mahler rubbed elbows during his first period as a resident of Vienna represented the upper echelon of European musical culture. He was both eager and well suited to make the most of this opportunity; his musical ability, his capacity for work, and his fervent sense of ethical responsibility to the art encouraged him to draw all he could from this rich array of colleagues. This chapter presents salient information on these figures, concentrating on teachers (Josef Hellmesberger, Julius Epstein, Robert Fuchs, and Franz Krenn), student colleagues (Ludwig Krzyzanowski, Hugo Wolf, Hans Rott, and Arnold Rosé), and establishment figures (Johannes Brahms, Eduard Hanslick, and the peculiar outsider Anton Bruckner). By the time of his departure in 1883, Mahler would know the city from the inside, but that experience would not protect him in his maturity from the hard lessons learned by so many of his teachers, peers, and idols: that living as a Viennese musician inevitably left scars.

Chapter 25 - Romantic Relationships
from Part IV - Mind, Body, Spirit
This chapter considers Mahler's active romantic life, asking how this well-known side of his private personality can be reconciled with his compositions' lack of erotic energy and his general predilection for what we might call an aesthetics of abstinence. From the beginning, Mahler had no less trouble building a healthy connection with a romantic partner than he did putting to rest the existential doubts that drove him to compose. The categorized nature of the symphonies, that is, the repetitions of attitude and approach – religiose grandeur in the Second and the Eighth, manic "joy" in the Fifth and the Seventh, otherworldly resignation in Das Lied von der Erde and the Ninth – mirror a tendency in his choices of female companions, who likewise embody types: the tormentor, the masochistic pupil, the replacement mother. The chapter focuses on three early affairs, with Josephina Poisl, Johanna Richter, and Marion von Weber, before turning to Natalie Bauer-Lechner and Alma Mahler.

Book: Richard Strauss in Context
Print publication: 29 October 2020, pp 145-152
This chapter surveys the wide range of spiritual and philosophical ideas that influenced Strauss during the emergence of his famously idiosyncratic worldview. Already a "freethinker" in his youth, and a product of an "alt-katholisch" household that rejected central Catholic doctrine, Strauss settled into a comfortable atheism while still in his teens. This skeptical disposition provided the backdrop for his encounters with 1) the fundamentalist Wagnerian metaphysics of his mentor, Alexander Ritter, and Wagner's powerful and cultured widow Cosima; 2) Arthur Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Representation (1818, 1844), which he studied carefully on his own; 3) the later, anti-Wagnerian writings of Nietzsche (most famously Also sprach Zarathustra), which had a powerful effect on Strauss's tone poems beginning with Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche (1895); and 4) the artistic and intellectual legacy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, his lodestar, whose devotion to classical culture, and break from Romanticism, were paralleled by Strauss's own.

Yorkshire's Doctor Who fans could be sitting on a windfall
Daleks invade Sheffield FlyDSA Arena
Duncan Atkins
Doctor Who memorabilia hiding in Yorkshire's homes could be worth thousands of pounds according to expert research.
Shopping specialists PromotionalCodes.org.uk have revealed the high price tags that could be attached to relics from previous series, to coincide with Jodie Whittaker's triumph as the first female in the famous TV role.
Doctor Who merchandise at Forbidden Planet International in Sheffield. Pictured are Richard Smith, Joe Smith and Dan Liles.
The research should alert fans of the sci-fi series to their potentially valuable Doctor Who collectibles stashed away - so it could be time to exterminate the clutter and make some quick, easy money.
Prized possessions are generally memorabilia with a limited release or associated with older series, such as two original Daleks that sold for £36,000 in 2005 and £38,500 in 2016 respectively.
The former was a Dalek Supreme from 'Destiny of the Daleks' (1979) and 'Revelation of the Daleks' (1984).
The latter, meanwhile, was sold by a collector who was clearing out his home and downsizing at his wife's strict instruction and fetched double its expected price at an auction house, despite being repainted red.
A full-size model that a fan can get inside and move, with an operable Human Detector and Dalek Ray, the pricey Dalek was from the 1966 film 'Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 AD'
It was one of three given away for free in a 1967 competition by Sugar Puffs, which asked children to rank the top six qualities for fighting Daleks.
A series 19 Cyberman from the same collection sold for £2,000 and a Tardis from a stage show for £1,000, both also in 2016.
Other Cybermen models have sold for eight and nine thousand pounds at auction in recent years, while a headpiece accessory from 'The Caves of Androzani' episode (Peter Davison's last, in March 1984) sold for £5,000 – several times its guide price.
Mass produced toys from recent years are unlikely to have gained much value, but even a limited edition sonic screwdriver could fetch a few hundred pounds to the right buyer.
Items used in broadcasts this century, though, are often still collected and cherished by Sci-Fi fans, with a David Tennant Christmas special costume and a Matt Smith suit sold for £5,000 and £2,625 respectively in 2010.
Darren Williams of PromotionalCodes.org.uk said: "Brits who think they might have Doctor Who memorabilia languishing in lofts should start digging immediately, as they could be sat on a large windfall."


"It takes courage and will power to follow ones heart, to follow one's dreams, and especially if people are telling you otherwise. Remember, that this is your special journey, so be true and choose for you. Take positive steps now (even if they are baby step) to be where you wish to be, you owe it to yourself. Of course, you will have to learn lots of new stuff, and of course you will make a few mistakes along the way, but that's absolutely okay. It's all part and parcel of the growing process. Remember there are no limits to what you can achieve in life, only what you believe you can achieve. "


Sit under a beach umbrella with a cool drink, find shade under a sea grape tree or jump right into the clearest, crystal water you could expect to find anywhere in the world!
A tropical locale is only as desirable as its coastline. And on this belief, Barbados never disappoints. Graciously endowed with more than 70 miles of sun-saturated, palm-adorned beaches, translucent azure waters and a year-round climate considered nothing less than perfect, the island is generous in giving Bajans and visitors alike a tropical respite unlike any in the world.
The island's shores are as varied and unique as Barbados itself. The west coast offers calm waters and dusty white beaches on which you can unwind with a rum punch in hand. Along the eastern shoreline, impressive coral sculptures carved by incessant Atlantic trade winds and thunderous waves decorate an area long heralded as one of the best surfing spots in the world. To the south, flawless sands and reef-protected waters set the perfect scene for a day of snorkelling or swimming. Meanwhile the southeast coast entices those who seek adventure in its windsurfing playgrounds, and seduces couples with an alluring backdrop of sheer cliffs and fine pink sand.
Barbados boasts over 60 beaches across 70 square miles and offers more than 3000 hours of annual sunshine under which you can enjoy them all.
Crane Beach in the parish of St. Philip has consistently been recognized as one of the Top 10 Beaches in the world.
All beaches in Barbados are open to the public and access to them is considered a right of every Barbadian.

FDA sees possible cancer risk with breast implants
MATTHEW PERRONE associated press
WASHINGTON - Federal health officials said Wednesday they are investigating a possible link between breast implants and a very rare form of cancer, raising new questions about the safety of devices which have been scrutinized for decades.
The cancer, known as anaplastic large cell lymphoma, attacks lymph nodes and skin and has been reported in the scar tissue which grows around an implant. The Food and Drug Administration is asking doctors to report all cases of the cancer so the agency can better understand the association.
The agency is aware of just 60 cases of the disease worldwide among the estimated 5 million to 10 million women with breast implants. The agency reviewed the scientific literature going back to 1997 along with information provided by international governments and manufacturers.
Most of the cases were reported after patients sought medical care for pain, lumps, swelling and other problems around the surgical site.
Because the disease is so rare, FDA researchers suggested the issue may never be completely resolved.
"A definitive study would need to collect data on hundreds of thousands of women for more than 10 years. Even then, causality may not be conclusively established," the agency said.
Still, the FDA said it is working with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to register patients with the cancer and track them over time.
Breast implants come in both saline and silicone-gel filled formulations and are marketed in the U.S. by Allergan Inc. and Johnson & Johnson's Mentor Corp. Those companies will be required to update the labeling for their products to reflect the cancer cases.
"Women should monitor their breast implants and contact their doctor if they notice any changes," the agency said in a statement.
A handful of researchers have published papers on instances of anaplastic large cell lymphoma in breast implant patients. In the last three years, medical reviews of those studies have raised new questions about the link and prompted FDA's review.
The lymphoma is an aggressive form of cancer, and patients' survival varies widely between different varieties of the disease. Chemotherapy is usually the first line of treatment and patients who have complete remission have gone on to live long, healthy lives. Patients who relapse are usually treated with a bone marrow transplant and have a much lower rate of survival.
Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen, who covers the medical device industry, said the negative media coverage over the issue could hurt sales, though the FDA's investigation only reviews previously published studies.
"At this point, we do not expect breast implants to be removed from the market, but sales growth could be negatively impacted by the media coverage," Biegelsen said in a note to investors.
The FDA pulled silicone breast implants off the market in 1992, saying manufacturers had not provided medical data showing their safety and effectiveness. At the time, there were worries about a connection to a variety of diseases, including cancer and lupus. Alarming cases of ruptures added to the concern.

Hunger Strike: The climate and food vulnerability index
The Climate and Food Vulnerability Index shows how the countries most impacted by food insecurity are the least responsible for the climate change which drives it. The top 10 most insecure countries combined generate just 0.08% of global CO2 emissions. Burundi is both the most food insecure country in the world and has the smallest carbon footprint per person.
10 years of innovation against poverty
In Their Lifetime (ITL) was conceived of 10 years ago with a view of legacy – especially, how could innovation be used to bring about longer-term change. The ITL programme consists of 27 projects worldwide, which were each designed to enable Christian Aid to take strides in the fight against poverty. On this 10th anniversary, and with the last of the ITL projects ending, we have taken a step back to understand what legacy the ITL programme will leave. This report will begin with an assessment of the overall portfolio, and will then go on to review each of the projects.

Maximising the benefits of the global phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons
This paper, published for the 30th Anniversary of the Montreal Protocol, discusses what is at stake in the implementation of the HFCs phase-down and related activities. It describes a suite of measures that, if taken together, will maximise the benefits of the phase-down of HFC refrigerants with high global warming potential, both in terms of the greenhouse gas emissions, and additional, sustainable development co-benefits. Summary The proliferation of household air conditioners and refrigerators across the world, including the rapid growth expected in developing countries, gives us an opportunity, right now, to ensure that the appliances we choose have minimum impact on the global climate and maximise sustainable development. Last year's hard-won Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol ensured a commitment to remove HFC refrigerants with high global warming potential, through a global phase-down. Maximising the climate change and related benefits of this phase-down will depend on three elements coming together: countries choosing refrigerants with the lowest global warming potentials ensuring promotion of the most energy efficient cooling technologies a rapid move to renewable energy to power these appliances. The right combination of these three elements will ensure that greenhouse gas emissions over the lifetime of each appliance are minimised. Minimising greenhouse gas emissions Achieving each of these elements will require a range of actions, including addressing financing and cost issues, supporting capacity building and training, developing energy infrastructure plans and updating safety and energy efficiency standards. These diverse actions will need to be coordinated strategically, often across a number of distinct but critical venues, including the Montreal Protocol, the UNFCCC, various regional groups and domestic policy-making. As we implement both the Montreal Protocol Kigali Amendment and the Paris Agreement, making the right coordinated and complementary decisions across these issues and venues will be essential to deliver a safe world with below 1.5C of global warming.

How to Make Delicious Homemade Vegan Burgers!
If you don't live in New York City or you prefer to try your hand at making your own veggie burgers, we've got you covered. There are so many unique ways to prepare vegan burgers right in your own kitchen. We'll even throw in some recipes for plant-based hot dogs, fries, and milkshakes from the Food Monster App!
A good veggie burger is only as good as its ingredients. Black bean burgers would be terribly bland if you just smashed up some beans and made it into a patty. The varieties of flavors you can add are endless. These Black Bean Burgers With Cilantro Lime Sauce by Dora Daily make a spicier burger due to the onion, bell pepper, and a good amount of seasoning. The super simple cilantro lime sauce is a great topper for a spicy burger. It is cool and tangy.
Using mushrooms gives these Hefty, Hearty Mushroom Burgers by Shannon Leparski a meaty-like texture and taste. They hold together really well, with minimal cracking, but always handle them carefully because they are veggie burgers after all! It's best to chop up all the veggies the same size, preferably really small.
When it comes to recreating your favorite childhood meals, it's all about the seasoning and these Carrot Hot Dogs by Casey Muir Taylor got it right. They're made by boiling carrots until soft and then marinating them in a savory sauce. After that, you just fry them to make them a little crispy and you have yourself a whole foods-based and budget-friendly meal.
These Chili Cheese Turnip or Yam Fries by Julie Van den Kerchove make a tasty 'healthy junk food' snack to enjoy with friends or devour all by yourself!
These Coconut Milkshakes and Cookies by Kelly Farrier are a fun and indulgent treat that also nourish your body with healthy and wholesome ingredients, like oats, coconut, and nuts. The milkshakes are a more natural alternative to the sugary, artificially colored and flavored milkshakes, made with only chilled coconut milk, liquid sweetener, and leftover cookie filling to pair perfectly with each cookie.

The Parenting Lessons Diana Ser Learned From the Japanese
""In Japanese culture, a 'gracious society' is not a campaign tagline. Graciousness, according to the Japanese, is essential to being human."
We love everything about Diana Ser as a mum, and how she and her husband James Lye raise their three children. Now, she's giving us all the more reasons to love her! In an article that appeared in Today, Diana Ser shares Japanese parenting lessons that all of us can learn from.
Diana Ser Shares Japanese Parenting Lessons That Are Pure Gold

Diana is mummy to three adorable kids: Jake, Christy, and Jaymee. During a trip to Japan, this celeb mum learned first-hand how the folk there raise such well-mannered and disciplined children.
One day during their trip, she and her family were eating lunch in a Japanese ski town diner. Diana humorously says:
"While I alternately cajoled and threatened Christy to eat another mouthful of rice, Jaymee in her Daddy's lap next door was placidly feeding herself. If she was not so adorable, I would hate her."
It was at this point that she made an interesting observation about a difference between her children, and other Japanese kids around them:
"It was not hard to tell us apart from the locals. My three monkeys were bickering with one another, then dropping their jackets, then removing their shoes. The Japanese children, however, remained calmly rooted to their seats — no drama, no fuss."
Diana continued to observe this calmness in Japanese children as her holiday continued.
And it got her thinking…
A post shared by Diana Ser 徐秀盈 (@dianaserlye)
Why Are Japanese Kids So Well-Behaved in Public?
That was the burning question for Diana. She could only pin it down to one thing: the Japanese style of parenting.
As Diana Ser shares Japanese parenting lessons she learned while in the country, she noticed that at the core of Japanese parenting lies graciousness.
"In Japanese culture, a 'gracious society' is not a campaign tagline. Graciousness, according to the Japanese, is essential to being human.
"Just look at this widely used definition of discipline (shitsuke) from a Japanese folklore dictionary: 'Putting into the body of a child, the art of living and good manners, in order to create one grown-up person'.
"So, one is not complete in one's development until good manners are in place."
Diana explains that with this is mind, it's hardly a surprise that "Japanese parents and pre-schools work hard at nurturing toddlers, who will become gracious members of society."
She feels that Japanese children are so well-behaved because a crucial component of being gracious is respecting public places.
Indeed, this was confirmed by one of Diana's Japanese friends, Keiko, who elaborates, "The early introduction of 'manners' (includes) teaching children respect for public spaces. This plays a major role in how Japanese kids behave."
One example she gave was of how if a Japanese child needed to stand on a subway train seat, their parents would always remove the child's shoes out of respect to the next user.
This importance given to courtesy extended to kindergarten teaching too. Diana quotes her friend Keiko as saying, "Teachings, both in school and at home, are consistent, and are constantly instilled in the child."
Parents Are Schooled Too
Diana reminisces about an experience she had with a Japanese "right-brain training" teacher in Singapore when her son was just 10 months old.
She writes:
"Whenever a baby fussed, she would advise the caregiver to step aside with the child and try to calm him or her down. If that did not work, she would tell the person to exit the classroom and return only when the child was ready. This was so as to not disrupt the rest of the class."
To Diana, it was a new way of looking at things in parenting. There are times when a mum or dad has to be "schooled" too.
From all the parenting lessons Diana Ser learned from the Japanese, one thing is clear. Once you teach a child to respect others at a societal level, the child automatically grows into a gracious, caring adult.
And we all know the world needs more adults like that.

"Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme combine with garlic and spicy habanero pepper for a chicken marinade you'll want to sing about!"
Pour the wine and olive oil into a mixing bowl. Add the minced habanero pepper, garlic, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme; whisk until evenly blended.
Chef John's all-time favorite Thai dish!
To use the marinade, place chicken into a large zippered plastic bag. Add marinade. Zip bag, forcing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate for four hours to overnight.
Definitely short on flavor......would not make again.

Thirty years of athletic success
By Sun-Times Marketing
Special Olympics Illinois
SHARE Thirty years of athletic success
Mike McLaughlin is a champion.
A Special Olympics athlete for more than 30 years,McLaughlin has competed — and medaled — in swimming, track and field, basketball, bowling, softball, tennis, volleyball, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing over his athletic career — and he has no plans to slow down.
McLaughlin grew up in Elmhurst and graduated from York High School, where he quickly developed a love of sports. "I like being competitive," he says, "and I like being outdoors with my teammates."
Over the last three decades, his participation on Special Olympics teams has taken him to countless state tournaments, including an impressive run with his basketball team last winter, and even to Alaska to compete in cross-country skiing in the late 90s. And when asked how many medals he's collected, he said, "Oh, a lot. It's impossible to count."
This summer, he's playing bocce—trying his hand at a new sport that, up until recently, he had never even heard of. As he learns a new game and connects with a new team, he's taking his own advice that he offers younger Special Olympics athletes: "You can't get discouraged. You just have to stick with it. You have to work hard. It takes time."
"Mike is an amazing guy," said Special Olympics Illinois President and CEO Dave Breen. "He participates in so many sports and he never lets anything get in his way. He has one of the best attitudes I've ever seen. He gets up every day, with all the obstacles and challenges he might face, and he never complains."
"We should do everything we can to share Mike's attitude, courage and determination. It changes people. It's changed me."
"He has so much positivity — so much energy," added Mark Cuevas, Special Olympics spokesperson and recent contestant on the hit show, Love is Blind. "I'm usually the energetic person in the room, so when I see someone else who is so happy, it makes me feel happy, too."
In addition to his many athletic pursuits, McLaughlin works at Jewel in Elmhurst — a job he's held for 18 years where, these days, his work is more important than ever. "I'man essential worker," he says. A lifelong Chicagoan, he's also a fan of country music, Portillo's and the Cubs.
And this summer, Mike McLaughlin has a new title: Special Olympics Illinois' Ducky Derby Ambassador.
The Chicago Duck Derby is a signature annual fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics Illinois, sending thousands of rubber ducks in a race down the Chicago river. And while this year's festivities on August 6 are virtual, it will still be a big celebration.
"It's our 15th year, and we are hoping to sell 60,000 ducks," said Breen. Chicagoans can purchase individual ducks for $5, or select packs of ducks for more chances to win great prizes, including a new car, $2,500, Blackhawks tickets and more.
"The Duck Derby is more than an event — it's an opportunity for everyone to come together to pitch in," Cuevas added. "The $5 you give isn't just for a duck, it's to build awareness. You're investing in the people putting in the hard work to make this keep going; to make sure these athletes can do what they love to do."
In addition to serving more than 23,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and nearly 20,000 Young Athletes ages 2-7 with and without intellectual disabilities in Illinois, Special Olympics is building relationships with Chicago Public Schools and city colleges to expand their footprint and serve even more athletes likeMike McLaughlin.
"I often hear that Special Olympics athletes are champions,"McLaughlin said. "That's a very nice compliment, but I really think that it is the staff, volunteer and donors who are the champions. Nothing can happen without involvement from volunteers and donors."
