Usually, the subjects of Renaissance paintings don’t appear live in person to sign autographs at the Met.
But one afternoon at New York City’s Museum of Metropolitan Art, it appeared that King Philip IV of Spain rose from the dead for a meet and greet in front of his recently restored portrait.
The spectacle was business as usual for the mischievous folks of Improv Everywhere , a self-described “prank collective” that’s famous for its bigger stunts like the yearly No Pants Subway Ride and the Grand Central Freeze.
The scene, which centered around an actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to the deceased Spanish ruler, caused a bit of playful confusion in the galleries of the Met when an important-looking man made an announcement that King Philip was signing autographs in honor of the recent restoration of his portrait. Many peop...
While the stunt lasted for only a few minutes, Improv Everywhere has proven once again that spectacles don’t need to come in flash mob proportions.
It’s cricket crumble for dinner. We should all be eating more insects, because doing so is better for the planet than tucking into conventional meat like beef.
In a new report entitled “Edible Insects: Future prospects for food and feed security“, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says that farmed insects could make a big contribution to our diets – they contain lots of protein and are cheap to produce. They also have major environmental benefits.
Conventional meat is not an efficient way to get nutrients because animals must be fed on crops, and much of the energy that goes into cultivating the crops is wasted. To produce 1 kilogram of beef, for example, you need 10 kg of feed, whereas 1 kg of crickets requires just 1.7 kg. What’s more, 80 per cent of a cricket...
The FAO therefore calculates that crickets are 12 times as efficient at converting feed into meat as cows. By farming insects, we could get more meat from the same amount of grain, use less land for agriculture and cut pollution.
The problem is that most people in the developed world are reluctant to eat creepy-crawlies. “On paper, insects are fantastic, but on a plate most people won’t touch them,” says Aran Dasan of Ento, a London company specialising in insect-based foods. “I don’t think we can sell insects based on their sustainability,” Da...
AFTER having the nation booking a seat on their sofa every Sunday for three months, the Dancing With The Stars cast had a booking of their own on Sunday, as they let their hair down at the season's wrap party.
The dancers and crew descended on 37 Dawson Street as the lights went out for the final time this season at Ardmore Film Factory.
The celebs piled into a coach as they hung up their dancing shoes and were driven to the popular Dublin nightspot, which had been exclusively booked out for the show.
Emotions were high as some of the professional dancers were gearing up to head home to their native countries yesterday.
However, it wasn't until the partying wrapped up that the realisation hit John Nolan he had won the show, competing alongside Mairead Ronan in his second final.
John had made the final of the show last year too, with comedian Deirdre O'Kane by his side.
"I woke up bawling my eyes out this morning," he said on RTE Radio One's Ryan Tubridy Show yesterday.
As partner Mairead scooped the Glitterball Trophy, she became the first Dubliner to win the coveted title.
She described the party as a "great night" before heading to the hotel next door with husband Louis in the early hours.
"We were in the hotel next door, there was only four steps from 37 to 36 as we knew we wouldn't have many hours of sleep," she said.
The pair said they were both still in shock as winners.
"It is so surreal," added John.
He said videos from his students at dance school Xquisite, which he runs with fellow professional Ryan McShane, had reduced him to tears.
"Watching back videos of the results and celebrations and videos from the school, I bawled my eyes out for an hour this morning," he said.
Meanwhile, Cliona Hagan said she still had not been to sleep since the show finished, partying her way to dawn.
"I still haven't been home - don't know how I am sitting here," she said, laughing.
However, Johnny Ward finished off his night by rewatching the grand finale.
"I went home and watched the show at 4.30am - I watched every dance, and relived the whole thing," he said.
Herald columnist Holly Carpenter rejoined her cast-mates at the shindig, having finally had the chance to dance with partner Curtis Pritchard.
The ill-fated duo had to part ways when an assault ruled Curtis out of the show when it began in January.
Holly was voted off the show with substitute partner Trent Whiddon before Curtis recovered from injury.
He has since been taking part in the professionals' group dances on the show.
"It is mad when you think about it," Holly told the Herald yesterday.
"We rehearsed so much back in December and to think it was March by the time we actually danced together.
"Thankfully, his leg has recovered, and he is a lot better."
She added that she had made friends for life on the show, saying Johnny and Cliona were now great pals.

In Ontario, a couple we’ll call Phil and Terri, each 64, have involuntarily moved into partial retirement. Phil was downsized out of his job in management for a packaged goods company last year and, with his severance fully paid out, receives Employment Insurance benefits of $2,188 per month before tax. Terri, who has ...
When Phil’s EI runs out and Terri retires, their estimated incomes will be $1,134 CPP for Phil, Terri’s continuing CPP, $649 before tax, and her civil service pension of $1,200 per month before tax. They will be able to add two monthly Old Age Security benefits of $597 per person at 65. That will make their income befo...
Their income will be enhanced by what they can harvest from $285,000 in RRSPs, $18,000 in TFSAs, and $68,000 in cash savings accounts. The total of all accounts is $371,000. At 1 per cent interest, it earns $310 per month. That is actually a negative return after taxes and inflation. However, it boosts their pre-tax in...
Current expenses net of savings add up to $3,635 per month. Terri’s illness could devastate their retirement plans. Currently, the drugs, which cost $24,000 per year, are paid for by her employer’s health insurance. When she retires, she will lose that coverage. She could buy costly supplemental medical insurance with ...
Family Finance asked Eliott Einarson, a financial planner in the Winnipeg office of Ottawa-based Exponent Investment Management Inc., to work with Phil and Terri.
Their two cars are paid for. They have no dependents at home. They plan to sell one car. That will cut costs and add a few thousand dollars to the bank account. They would like to travel within Canada each at a cost of $1,000 per year and to take a larger trip for $4,500 maximum every three years. Putting it all togeth...
If Phil does not get another job, even part-time, then the couple will be walking a tightrope between $4,128 post-tax income and $4,000 monthly spending. It’s too close for comfort, Einarson says.
They can raise their income by increasing investment returns. If they focus solely on their $285,000 in RRSPs and $18,000 in TFSAs, the total, $303,000, could generate a fairly steady return in high quality bonds laddered with one to five or one to ten year maturities and a portfolio of mature company stocks that pay d...
If we assume that Phil and Terri do move their RRSP and TFSA funds to bond and stock ETFs that, together, generate 3 per cent a year after inflation, then one year from now when they are fully retired, the present $303,000 of RRSPs and TFSAs would have a value of $312,090 in 2018 dollars, the precise amount depending o...
Annuitized to pay out all income and capital over the next 25 years to their age 90, the accounts could generate $17,400 per year or $1,450 per month. That would raise their total income from all sources to $5,627 per month or $67,524 per year. Allowing for 10 per cent average tax, they could have about $5,060 per mont...
The switch to stock and bond ETFs could be done gradually as existing GICs mature. That would slow the increase in returns, but it would also give the couple time to learn the ropes of investing in stock and bond exchange trade funds.
Family Finance cannot recommend particular ETF managers, however, a search of the larger companies and comparison of their annual fees and performance would turn up candidates for investment. Broad market index ETFs that cover all U.S. large cap stocks, all major Canadian stocks, and Canadian government and senior corp...
There is a catch in this plan to improve financial security. That’s the cost of drugs for Terri’s long-term illness when her employee benefits end. Ontario’s Trillium Drug program may be of assistance. “May” is the operative word, for it has tests for income and the drugs involved. The program starts with an approximat...
Mikey Garcia was very impressed with Jorge Linares’ dominant performance against Anthony Crolla on Saturday.
Nothing Garcia saw, however, made him change his mind about wanting to fight Linares next. The unbeaten Garcia, the newly crowned WBC world lightweight champion, hopes to face Linares, the WBA world lightweight champion, in what would be an intriguing 135-pound title unification fight in the summer.
“Congratulations to Jorge,” Garcia said during Showtime’s studio coverage of the Linares-Crolla rematch from Manchester, England. “He looked great. He obviously performed better than on the first night. This time he out-boxed Crolla a lot easier, showed skill, showed flexibility, moving around the ring, combinations, d...
A faster, sharper Linares (42-3, 27 KOs) easily out-boxed Crolla throughout their 12-round rematch, six months after overcoming Crolla by unanimous decision in a closer fight. Venezuela’s Linares dropped Manchester’s Crolla (31-6-3, 13 KOs) with a left uppercut in the seventh round, fended off Crolla’s rally in the eig...
Garcia, meanwhile, knocked out previously unbeaten Dejan Zlaticanin (22-1, 15 KOs) in the third round to win the WBC world lightweight championship January 28 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. His impressive victory over Montenegro’s Zlaticanin was just the second fight for the 29-year-old Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs) s...
The three-division champion just hopes Linares, also a champion in three weight classes, will get in the ring with him.
Linares, Easter Jr, Lomanchenko In that order would be impressive.
[QUOTE=PETUFF;17541611]i hope the coward don't get Linares thats too easy for him we know that we want Lomachenko!:boxing::boxing:[/QUOTE] Who gives a phuck what you want. PR boxing is dead, thanks to Mikey. Hahahahha. Mamame la pinga pedaso de mierda.
Mikey is kryptonite to Jorge Linares. If Linares had a chin he might be a top 3 pound for pound fighter. As it is he is an accident waiting to happen.

​HipBar allows consumers to select from a range of alcoholic beverages and make payment using the mobile wallet to have the product either delivered at their doorstep in places where it permitted or pick it up from a retail store.
HipBar works closely with the beverage alcohol industry and the government to custom build software and deploy technology projects in a compliant manner.
MUMBAI: Spirits major Diageo India invested Rs 27 crore in Hipbar, a digital payment startup that caters to alcohol beverage consumers. The investment made through Indian unit United Spirits will see the British multinational picking up a 26% stake in HipBar, thus valuing the firm at about Rs 104 crore.
The investment will help Hip-Bar, which offers payment and alcohol delivery services through its app, to expand to more markets. Founded in 2015, it currently operates in Bengaluru and Chennai and digitally connects alcohol brands, retail stores and consumers through a common platform.
Diageo’s investment comes at a time when Indian legacy players in the alcohol beverage industry including United Breweries and United Spirits are witnessing an impact on sales due to the growth of new brands such as Bira and White Rhino Brewing.
“Ecommerce is making an impact on just about every industry imaginable, and the beverage alcohol industry is set to be the next sector to be disrupted by the continued shift to digital. This investment allows us to discover ideas that anticipate shifts in consumer behaviour and enables us to remain at the forefront of ...
Israel denies permits to over 100 runners from Gaza. ’Freedom of movement is not only a right in itself, but is essential for the enjoyment of many other human rights,’ the United Nations says of the fourth annual marathon.
Thousands of Palestinian and international runners from 64 countries participated in the fourth annual Palestine Marathon in the West Bank city of Bethlehem Friday morning. The run was held under the banner of the right to freedom of movement, a theme that was accented by Israel’s concrete separation wall along which m...
Mervin Steenkamp of South Africa won the race with a 2:35:26 finish.
The marathon, which started at the Church of the Nativity in Manger Square and passed through two refugee camps, Aida and Dheisheh, included two full loops. The wall, along with the Israeli military checkpoints that surround Bethlehem and nearby villages and towns, made finding a full marathon route difficult if not im...
The Israeli army had 96 permanent checkpoints in the West Bank as of April 2015, according to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem. Only 39 of those checkpoints separate the West Bank from Israel; the rest restrict Palestinian movement within the occupied territory.
In addition to manned checkpoints, Israeli troops deploy hundreds of physical obstructions (roadblocks, mounds of dirt, etc.) hampering free Palestinian movement inside the West Bank.
Israeli security forces have deployed some 90 new obstacles to Palestinian movement in the West Bank since the latest round of violence began in October 2015, according a UN study conducted in the last week of December.
Some restrictions have since been eased, although Israel in recent months has repeatedly implemented a policy of putting entire villages under days-long lockdowns following stabbing attacks perpetrated by residents from those locations. Considering that the perpetrators themselves are either taken into custody or kille...
Organizers said that as of Thursday evening, 4,371 people had registered to participate in the marathon, the largest number ever, although the Israeli army denied travel permits to 100 registered runners from the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the military body that controls where and when Palestinians can travel, particularly between Gaza and the West Bank and Israel, blamed Palestinian officials for filing the permit applications too late to be processed.
Palestinian officials, meanwhile, say they submitted the applications at least a week in advance. As a result, at least 102 Palestinian runners from Gaza, including the victor of last year’s marathon, Olympian Nader al-Masri, were unable to participate.
But it is ultimately the runners who must pay the price for the negligence of both Israeli and Palestinian officials and bodies, said Shai Grunberg, spokesperson for Israeli rights group Gisha – Legal Center for Freedom of Movement. It is very unfortunate that COGAT chose a sporting event “in order to take sweepingly p...
Israel has landed itself in hot water in recent years for the restrictions it places on Palestinian athletes. In 2015, Israel nearly faced expulsion from FIFA, the international soccer organization, for the denial of entry and exit permits to Palestinian soccer players and restrictions on the import of sports equipment...
As part of the agreement that prevented that expulsion process going forward, Israel agreed to ease restrictions on Palestinian soccer players, although it seems that agreement did not apply to other sports.
