F1 | What tyres will the teams and drivers have for the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix?

Pirelli have nominated the hardest three compounds in their range for the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

F1’s official tyre suppliers will therefore bring hard C1 tyres (x2 sets), medium C2 tyres (x3 sets) and soft C3 tyres (x8 sets) to Spain, for the Grand Prix of which Pirelli are also title sponsors.

Although pre-season running took place at this circuit in February, Pirelli have pointed out that higher track temperatures and evolved cars will make for a different picture.  –read more–  

CNN style Arts | Decoding the messages tucked away in one ‘politically significant’ city’s street art

Cita Sadeli saw the start of the pandemic from a different angle than most: standing on an articulated lift, hovering 120 feet above street level. She spent much of early March 2020 painting a mural on the exterior of Hotel Xena in downtown Washington, DC, watching from above as the coronavirus outbreak slowly caught the city in its grip.

“I started March 1, and the city shut down around mid-March,” she said in a phone interview. “I got to see the whole city change from that very high vantage point, people were dragging their office chairs across the square to take it home, because they weren’t going to come back to their office. Everyone was freaked out.”  –read more–  

CNN BUSINESS | WealthCOACH | | Here’s how to retire long before your 60s

There is no shortcut for saving money for retirement. But some people have found ways to do the hard work faster.

Rather than planning to retire in their 60’s, they turbo-charge savings, pare down spending and optimize investments to become financially independent and retire early — a process known as FIRE.

For Justin McCurry retirement came more than 30 years early. McCurry saved $1.3 million and retired nine years ago when he was 33 so he could spend more time traveling with his wife and three kids. But it took him years of careful planning and saving to get there.  -–read more—  

CNN style Arts | The Somali-French art dealer bringing Black perspectives to Paris’ gallery scene

When Mariane Ibrahim opened her elegant, new three-story art gallery in Paris last September, she became one of the few Black gallerists to set up shop in the French capital and dedicate the space to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.

Located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, among other noted galleries and close to landmarks like the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre, the space has featured the otherworldly mixed-media figures of Haitian American artist M. Florine Démosthène and found-image collages by Afro Latino artist Clotilde Jiménez. In April, Ibrahim debuted the European show of Ghanaian painter Amoako Boafo, who captures the beauty of Black skin in swirling, lush brushstrokes.  –read more–

CNN health | Why do sleeping dogs look like they’re running? Experts weigh in

(CNN) – June seems to dream of pursuit. After the long-haired German shepherd settles down for a nap, her floofy, low-slung limbs often begin to twitch and kick. To her owners, she appears to be on the trail of some unseen prey.

“When she’s sleeping sometimes her paws are going aggressively — like, frantically — like she’s running on an invisible treadmill,” said owner Wudan Yan, who lives in Seattle.

“She’s dreaming, right?” Yan said. “She’s dreaming about chasing squirrels and bunnies.”  –read more– 

CNN style Fashion | Style Guide: How to dress for the office

If the thought of retiring your comfortable sweats and choosing a new outfit to leave the house in each morning is an intimidating prospect, you’re in good company. For the better part of the pandemic, I’ve lived in a pair of stretchy, soft wool trousers in the cooler months, switching allegiance in summer to a white linen dress that my brother-in-law dubbed “the ghost dress” (likening its so flowy, so oversized shape to that of a large bedsheet with a hole cut out for my head).

Now, many of us are readjusting to being back in an office — a prospect that may come with numerous challenges but perhaps none greater than one looming concern: What to wear?  –read more–  

F1 | Verstappen wins inaugural Miami Grand Prix over Leclerc after late Safety Car drama

Max Verstappen won the first ever Miami Grand Prix, having pried the lead off Ferrari’s pole-sitter Charles Leclerc early in the race, and defended it in an enthralling late-race battle.

Red Bull’s reigning champion took P2 off Carlos Sainz into Turn 1 at the start, and soon began to close in on Leclerc. The Ferrari driver lost the lead to his rival on the main straight at the start of Lap 9 of 57 and pitted from mediums to hards on Lap 24, causing Verstappen to react with his stop two laps later. It seemed that Verstappen would cruise to victory in front of Miami Gardens’ marina…  –read more–
