The reaction to a single tweet from a pizza parlor was immediate and ubiquitous, revolving around a single question: How did a septuagenarian Hollywood actor and current Brooklyn resident pass through 72 years on Earth without eating pizza? We dug up some history.
Breathe. Patrick Stewart has eaten pizza before yesterday. Specifically, thirteen years ago.
On Wednesday afternoon, from Smiling Pizza in Brooklyn, the 72-year-old English actor, honorary knight, X-Men star, and shock Brooklynite tweeted, like so many teenagers without "Sir" before their name and twenty-somethings living in Brooklyn, a picture of himself eating. Accompanying the otherwise pedestrian image, ho...
The reaction was immediate and ubiquitous, revolving around a single question: How did a septuagenarian Hollywood actor and current Park Slope resident pass through life without eating pizza?
PS: That's my process and approach, yes. The script is everything. Because after all, there is no point in developing ideas about a character if the script can't accommodate them. (He gets up and walks away. Just as it was getting interesting...) I'm just going to turn the oven on to reheat some pizza; you can have som...
The second tweet only further puzzled Stewart's followers. What did he mean by "slice"? Why was that word placed in quotes? Was this some kind of linguistic riddle? Don't all pizzas come in slices?
So that's what he means by "slice" — a specific kind of pizza, in a specific city, to which he moved less than a year ago. Enjoy your pizza, Mr. Stewart. Like you always have. All the other upscale people are doing it these days, apparently.
Also: Did we mention that Patrick Stewart is an incredible person?
Can Xbox win the next generation?
A reader considers Microsoft’s options for the next generation of consoles and how they might fare against both Google and Sony.
Has Microsoft already conceded the next gen console race in favour of broadening their audience? Although I don’t believe Microsoft are necessarily resigned to losing, I certainly think they’re fully prepared for that scenario. Xbox has altered the metrics for a while now, avoiding hardware sales figures in favour of a...
The counter to this theory is the threat Google Stadia now poses, which Microsoft obviously saw coming and gives validation to their shift in focus. Whether live streaming is a viable alternative to playing natively on a console is another debate, with too many questions unanswered at this stage. Until the service is o...
Microsoft, meanwhile, whilst keen to promote xCloud, will continue to provide consoles for the foreseeable future. It’s clear getting Xbox onto as many devices as possible is the long-term plan. It could be argued their latest philosophy is an admission they can’t compete directly with Sony in the console space alone. ...
Not all Xbox fans are going to be pleased by their aspirations for growth however, which some will complain dilutes the brand. From a personal perspective somebody playing the same game on another platform is of no consequence, though it undoubtedly diminishes the need to purchase a console when there’s alternatives av...
Whilst I don’t envisage a scenario remotely like the start of this generation, it seems obvious Sony’s more traditional stance will again reap its rewards. It was a major factor back in 2013, and I’m sure it will be in 2020. Sony are in the enviable position of being able to continue where they left off, with not a gre...
In my view this generation of consoles was a significant one to lose. It’s safe to assume Sony will offer backwards compatibility for PlayStation 4 games: the x86 console architecture dictates it will be much easier to implement, and a no-brainer incentive. Couple this with the fact digital sales are considerably highe...
It becomes a situation not dissimilar from your phone, where changing brand becomes such an inconvenience; unconsciously you become the loyal customer they want. But then I’m sure Microsoft are already well aware how customer investment works, hence why expanding becomes a necessity. The ‘Sony formula’ can soon become ...
From a business perspective, getting games onto as many platforms as possible makes perfect sense, as it would obviously be more lucrative in the long run, but at what cost to console sales? Phil Spencer has made a lot of noise about going after ‘2 billion gamers’ by opening up their audience to iOS and Android devices...
Microsoft has recognised content was their biggest failing in recent years, and to their credit they’ve addressed this with several studio acquisitions. The problem is there’s no shortcut to getting their first party portfolio in order. Introducing consumer friendly features like Game Pass is great in principle, but as...
For Xbox to be successful globally, they will need a much stronger foundation – which has to stem from the console business. To suggest Halo Infinite is their most important release ever is an understatement. The gaming landscape is vastly different now, with free-to-play battle royale games grabbing most of the headli...
You only have to look at what Sony has potentially lined up with PlayStation 5, with The Last Of Us Part II possibly being a cross-gen title, along with Death Stranding, Ghosts Of Tsushima, and another Horizon Zero Dawn waiting in the wings. The challenge ahead is formidable. Sony will come out swinging, so Microsoft c...
It is rumoured Microsoft will offer two consoles at launch: a lower priced/powered version (codename: Lockhart) alongside a more premium variant (Anaconda). I fully expect Xbox to have the more powerful console, but that will amount to nothing if there isn’t quality content to showcase. Much of the concern from gamers ...
As a fan of Xbox and gaming in general I hope they provide stiffer competition next gen, because with their rival so dominant there’s always a danger of complacency. Only a highly competitive gaming industry can thrive, and with it hopefully dissuade some of the anti-consumer practices that have plagued this generation...
I fully expect Sony to maintain their market lead next generation, but it could be a case of them winning the battle, not the war, if Microsoft’s ambitious plans pay off. How Microsoft employ xCloud could be key. Should it be used to enhance the gaming experience, and not just be offered as a substitute? History has sh...
IRVING 5 POWER CABANA ducing any income. No food, no ser- VIces. Hughes thought that everybody must be holding him in awe because he had all those rooms, and in fact they were going to have to kick him out. So Hughes checked out, and went to Las Vegas. He was not terribly missed by any of us. My point is that the hotel...
Nowadays, when we hear about a celebrity wedding that racked up millions of dollars in fees (cough, Kim Kardashian, cough), we barely bat an eye. In the late '90s and early 2000s, however, a celebrity dropping that much money on their nuptials was practically unheard of. That's why the $1 million price tag on Brad Pitt...
The Venue: Jennifer and Brad exchanged vows at sunset on July 29 at the five-acre, multimillion-dollar Malibu estate they rented from television executive Marcy Carsey, whose property sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Although airspace was restricted over the estate during the couple's ceremony, the recept...
The Security: The couple spared no expense when it came to their privacy. On top of getting restricted airspace, they asked their guests to sign confidentiality agreements, had "No Parking" signs posted all along the road leading up to the event space, and had the Los Angeles County sheriff on hand to provide traffic c...
The Guest List: You might think Brad and Jen's guest list would be a mile long, but they kept the number around 200. Fellow stars like Courteney Cox, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, and Cameron Diaz all scored an invite. Jen's mother, Nancy Dow, was notably absent, since her tell-all book about her daughter, From Mother to...
The Flowers: Jennifer and Brad dropped a cool $75,000 on flowers to achieve the groom's vision for a "zen garden" look. Over 50,000 flowers were brought in by florists from La Premiere of Beverly Hills, who set tables with roses, wisteria, and tulips. Floated lotus flowers were also chosen to enhance a specially built ...
Her Dress: According to the bride's father, Days of Our Lives actor John Aniston, "Jennifer looked beautiful." In a glass-beaded, floor-length, low-backed, white satin and silk gown from Milan-based dress designer Lawrence Steele, how could she not? The Friends actress paired her dress with custom-made ivory suede heel...
His Tux: Brad wore a four-button black tuxedo designed by Hedi Slimane and outfitted his groomsmen in tuxes by Prada. Even though his brother and best man, Doug Pitt, dropped the ring at one point, it's safe to say he looked damn good while doing it.
The Vows: They wrote their own vows, which included Brad promising to "split the difference on the thermostat" and Jennifer swearing to always make him his "favorite banana milkshake." When the more traditional part of the ceremony began, Jennifer missed her cue, leaving Brad and the officiant waiting. "Oh! I've never ...
The Reception's Ambience: Inside the reception tent, guests encountered plenty of flowers, fountains, lanterns, and countless imported candles from Thailand made of brown sugar ("Jennifer wanted tons of candles," an insider revealed. "We made it very romantic.").
The Music: When it came time to choose a band for their wedding, Brad and Jen couldn't pick just one. Fortunately, with their budget, they didn't have to. The night kicked off with a six-piece band backed up by a 40-member gospel choir, who sang Al Bowlly's 1930s classic "Love Is the Greatest Thing" before the 15-minut...
The Food: Directly after the ceremony, guests enjoyed appetizers like shrimp, gourmet pizza, and caviar, which they were served with Dom Pérignon Champagne. For the main course, Jen and Brad decided on crab, lobster, peppercorn beef, pasta, and risotto.
The Cake: What would a celebrity wedding be without a giant cake? They settled on a six-tier, white-frosted confection and "were looking into each other's eyes when they fed it to each other," People reported. "They were laughing with cake in their mouths."
The Fireworks: Once it got dark enough during the reception, Brad and Jen surprised guests by setting off fireworks over the Pacific, which reportedly cost $20,000. The lavish 13-minute display included pyrotechnic hearts and smiley faces, which were accompanied by Radiohead, Garbage, and Jeff Buckley songs. James Souz...

President Donald Trump on Monday fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates for “refusing to enforce a legal order” that bans immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries, reports CNN.
Dana Boente, US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, has been named new acting attorney general, the White House said.
The dramatic move came soon after CNN reported Yates told Justice Department lawyers not to make legal arguments defending Trump’s executive order on immigration and refugees.
The move set up a clash between the White House and Yates, who was appointed by President Barack Obama and was set to serve until Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, is confirmed.
Former president Barack Obama released a statement Monday that supported protesters against President Donald Trump’s new executive order curbing immigration, reports USA Today.
Obama’s office released a statement Monday that, while not directly critical of President Trump, did applaud those protesting a travel ban on visitors from seven Muslim countries.
Obama’s announcement marked the first time that the former president has criticized the current president, reports CNN.
Actress Sophie Turner says her character in ‘X-Men – Dark Phoenix’ taught her about the impact mental illness has on the people around the sufferer.
Sophie Turner, who has been open about her own battle with depression and anxiety, plays Jean Grey in the film, the ‘X-Men’ character whose vast powers may surge beyond those of any other mutant on earth.
After a space mission goes wrong, Jean Grey’s powers threaten to consume her and the entire world with her if she cannot find a way to control their dark appetites.
“The biggest thing I took away from this movie is what mental health problems can do to family and friends because it is ‘too painful’ to see,” the actress told Harper’s Baazar.
“I have had a lot of people close to me who have struggled with their mental health, including myself, so it’s something I’m really passionate about,” she added.
‘X-Men – Dark Phoenix’ is scheduled to release in June this year.
When I took this job, I was promised no math.
But there I was at Saint-Germain, the new wine bar and bistro on St. Claude Avenue, surreptitiously scribbling down numbers I knew I’d never memorize, as the chef explained that the bread fermented 12 hours, while the butter was 49 days old. The beets spent three days hanging over the heat. The ribeye was aged for 3-1/...
Some chefs play humble. They just pick the best produce and proteins, they’ll say, and let the ingredients speak for themselves. At Saint-Germain, the chefs do the talking, and usually it’s the Texas twang of Trey Smith, with his taciturn co-chef Blake Aguillard at his side. The two met while working at Restaurant Augu...
Smith and Aguillard wear their influences on their shelves. Around the tiny dining room are cookbooks from New York’s Contra and Parisian restaurants like Septine and Frenchie. The chefs take inspiration from the new wave of Parisian bistros that have ditched Michelin star luxury to cook creatively in more casual space...
Smith and Aguillard, however, have a more rustic approach than what you’ll find in Paris. The number of times you’ll hear “lactose fermentation” over dinner also reveals the influence of Denmark’s lauded restaurant Noma, where nearly every course includes something fermented.
A trendy technique? Sure, but also a traditional one that requires nothing more than salt and time.
The flavors that Smith and Aguillard coax from their ingredients do have precedents, but none that can easily be found in New Orleans.
A grilled radicchio is finished with a vegan XO sauce that is every bit as savory as red meat. Crispy cauliflower is piled above a pool of “pomme fondue” made from potato scraps turned into stock and then reduced for eight hours, elevating the vegetable’s earthy essence. Another dish was billed as snapper crudo, but th...
The dining room at Saint-Germain seats only 16. Most food is delivered by Smith and Aguillard together. As Smith would describe a course, and Aguillard would spoon warm brown butter dressing and croutons on a salad, or grate raw horseradish over those beets cooked for days, it felt like a close-up magic act, one where ...
The menu is small, with never more than six choices. Every third week of the month, the food is vegetarian. You’ll get a call in advance asking about allergies, but Smith and Aguillard also assume everyone eats blood sausage, which was the amuse bouche one night. Saint-Germain isn’t a place for the picky. Even if you s...
I do know that the smart wine suggestions, many of them natural wines, from sommelier Bodhi Landa will be bottles you’ve likely never seen. The attention from the staff will be doting. The food will be bracingly different. And, judging from my meals, you will likely by delighted by the night.

Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) Director General Patrick Mutimushi says the authority is pleased with the enthusiasm young people have shown in developing new ideas in the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector.
Mr Mutimushi says the increased number of young innovators who have participated in this year’s 2018 ICT innovation programme, is a clear demonstration that young people have the potential to contribute to the growth of the ICT sector.
The ZICTA Director General was speaking during the official opening of the 2018 Innovation Programme Business Conference and Expo in Lusaka this morning.
Mr Mutimushi said the authority has witnessed an unprecedented participation from youths engaging in research and development of new appropriate technologies in the industry.
He said young innovators in Zambia have the opportunity to use ZICTA’s technological capacity to transform the education and healthcare systems in the county.
Mr Mutimushi has assured young innovators in the country that the authority will continue providing a regulatory environment that supports the growing of the ICT sector.
The number of young innovators who have participated in this year’s event has grown from last year’s 20 to 60 this year (2018).
And speaking at the same function Barclays Bank Zambia Managing Director Mizinga Melu says the bank will use digital opportunities available to enhance its banking services.
Ms Melu said the bank as the core sponsor of the 2018 ICT Innovation programme is delighted to learn that the programme has had a growth of 20 to 60 participants this year.
She noted that the bank is proud to be associated with the programme as it creates opportunities for digital technologies.
Ms Melu pointed out that ICTs are key in growing the country’s economy.
She said this in a speech read for her by Barclays Bank Zambia Director for Retail Harton Maliki.
Meanwhile ProBASE Chief Executive Officer Roy Muyelu has advised young innovators to come up with ideas that seek to address challenges faced by the general population.
Mr Muyelu said Innovation should be tailored towards improving the plight of people across the country.
Is this the guy hired to give our information to PF’s Amos Chanda?
Let’s develop this thing! It is UNELECTABLE!
People like Mutimushi needs encouragement and support. It’s not easy to have this job in Africa, China, and many other countries where governments are corrupt and abrogate human rights laws and want to hide their evil deeds by putting pressure on ZICTA and regulating bodies in their countries to hide their evil deeds. ...
Galu Watchers Zambia Ltd needs to go to Kalukungu Cementery indeed.
I KNOW THIS CHAP HE WAS AN A BELOW AVERAGE STUDENT IN CLASS 98 UNZA EEE , DISTINCTION STUDENTS LIKE SEPO TEMBO WHERE ARE THEY TO DEVELOP THIS THING CALLED ZICTA???
Actually these ZICTA guys have no idea on what to do with those invitations. They just parade projects then shelf them. It just ends on them being impressed.Thats all.
For the last two months, the couple has been grounded while Bob Zaleski recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. But they plan to resume flying in January.
For Bob and Joan Zaleski, it was love at first flight.
The Naples, Florida, couple met in the late ’70s at a flight school in Chicago. Joan worked in the office and Bob was a flight instructor. He taught her how to fly a plane when she was 19.
After tying the knot, they knew someday they'd have a plane of their own, but it wasn’t until they retired and moved from Illinois to Naples that they finally had a chance to realize that dream.
Rather than buy a plane, however, they decided to build one themselves.
“When you retire, you decide to do something, so we thought building an airplane might be fun,” Bob, 66, said with a laugh.
While Bob did confess that putting a plane together was more challenging than not, he also said he felt confident in their ability. He flew for 40 years as a commercial pilot and was a licensed aircraft mechanic, and Joan spent decades working in general aviation.
As the Daily News first reported on the Zaleskis earlier this year, they spent $105,000 on their plane, a two-seater Sling 2 experimental aircraft designed by The Airplane Factory. It was shipped to them in a kit, which included a manual, thousands of parts and 14,000 rivets, or fasteners.
The Federal Aviation Administration has licensed more than 33,000 amateur-built/home-built aircraft, according to the Experimental Aircraft Association. These aircraft typically cost between $10,000 and more than $100,000.
The two approached the project like a full-time job, working all day, five days a week. It took two years, four months and eight days for them to build the plane from the ground up.
It’s a tough feat to accomplish, they said, especially in that time frame, but they had some help along the way from friends they made at Naples Municipal Airport, where they worked on the plane.
