Christian festivities celebrating the resurrection of Christ the Church forbade the consumption of eggs during Lent so those laid during this period were preserved The custom of hiding eggs for children to discover dates back to the 18th century becoming truly popular in the XIXᵉ century with the emergence of playful traditions Easter eggs then became the focus of treasure hunts in gardens and parks gradually distancing the practice from its religious significance as is the case today with numerous egg hunts throughout the Paris region This page may contain AI-assisted elements, more information here To expand and correct the general public’s understanding of toile de Jouy—which encompasses much more than pastoral prints—AD PRO has compiled this explainer on the beloved fabric toiles de Jouy are the printed fabrics made by Oberkampf at Jouy-en-Josas between 1760 and 1843.” Because many companies were producing similar toile styles before historians can identify authentic toile de Jouy fabrics by a distinct printer’s mark that was required to be added during production Interiors at the Auberge du Jeu de Paume feature toile print wallpaper which was originally intended for clothing Get a year of unlimited access for $25 $20 per month “They taught us about mythology and literature” and recorded major moments in history and that storytelling capacity ultimately resulted in more of them being maintained over the years “Even if people don’t know the name ‘toile de Jouy,’ or Oberkampf they immediately recognize the motif,” Olivier tells AD PRO the oldest printed textile was discovered in Mohenjo-daro The popularity of such textiles in the West came much later: In the 18th century after trade had expanded between Asia and Europe printed cotton fabrics imitating textiles from India—became popular in France Rouart adds that although today many clients prefer toile de Jouy fabrics with a creamy off-white background to convey a sense of history and patina these textiles were originally intended to be as white as possible Indiennes also achieved rich colors due to using a mordant technique which helped adhere dyes to the cloth and prevent fading In order to protect France’s silk industry “The aristocracy was known to sneak some cotton pieces,” says Olivier noting Louis XV’s mistress Madame de Pompadour famously had a whole house decorated with “forbidden toile.”  Oberkampf came from a family of dyers and spent years traveling around Europe to educate himself and learn the art of engraving and printing Heavily inspired by Indian and English fabrics as well as woven silks the young entrepreneur began printing fabrics on the border between Switzerland and France In 1759—the same year the cotton prohibition had ended—he transferred his business to Jouy-en-Josas in order to be close to Versailles and the Seine River (The printing process for toile de Jouy requires large amounts of clean water.) the printing process was highly labor intensive making toile a luxury only the aristocracy could afford Each color of dye required a separate bath and as many as 20 colors could feature in one pattern Techniques improved in 1770 with the factory’s introduction of copperplate printing (which Oberkampf discovered after visiting England) thus allowing for single-color toile print such as the iconic pastoral scenes we associate with toile de Jouy today Louis XVI gave Overkampf’s business the Royal Manufactory designation technology had rapidly expedited production with the workshop using copper rollers that could make 5,000 meters of fabric per day (many times the output of its human counterpart) Impressed with Oberkampf’s entrepreneurship the emperor Napoleon visited his factory and awarded him the Légion d’honneur in 1806 Braquenié was even tapped by Versailles to reissue and print three fabrics to refurnish the small apartments of Marie Antoinette As was standard for all manufactories at the time Oberkampf often exchanged ideas and bought or copied engravings from England could not call Marie Antoinette their client Oberkampf scaled his company to employ more than 1,000 workers at its peak and found ways to uniquely appeal to aristocracy and eventually the masses all across Europe He produced toiles specifically for the middle class that would use two or three woodblocks making them less expensive than the popular copperplate-printed monochrome varieties Another key part of Oberkampf’s market domination was his creativity “He knew that the success of his factory depended on the beauty and diversity of his production He liked to use fashionable things like chinoiseries or the latest operas and novels because he knew using trendy subjects would increase his sales,” says Rouart on the entrepreneur’s efforts to release products tied to major events The archivist believes designers remain deeply inspired by toile de Jouy today for its ability to tap into one’s imagination “When you look at toile de Jouy in an interior It’s very magical to be with Figaro [from The Marriage of Figaro] or witnessing the first hot-air balloon.” Oberkampf worked closely with talented engravers and illustrators in his factory’s ateliers to copy existing engravings from books and famous painters of the time “Jean-Baptiste Huet produced some of the manufactory’s most famous toiles such as Paul et Virginie and l’Escarpolette [depicting scenes from the story by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre],” says Olivier “Huet was a painter who specialized in animals and he produced many motifs for Oberkampf that responded to the general taste for pastorals.”  During the 18th century, decorative toile de Jouy was primarily used for curtains, lit à la duchesse canopy beds, and chairs; the following century it became popular for furnishings and interiors to feature perfectly matching toile de Jouy textiles, “the total look,” as Rouart calls it.

Building for the École des Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) is located on the prestigious school’s campus close to the historic Paris suburb of Jouy-en-Josas The visionary original 1964 design of the campus had been compromised over the years resulting in an incoherent accumulation of buildings with no clear focus nor sense of direction This construction is the first stage in the implementation of a large-scale master plan to meet the demands of growing student and faculty numbers Besides providing teaching facilities for the Master of Business Administration course as well as rehousing its general services the building had to serve as a new gateway into the educational grounds reinforcing HEC’s image as one of Europe’s top business schools Planning requirements stipulated a low building

composition of the project and helps to create a diverse and dynamic public space on the south side of the building The same variety characterizes the interior the rigorous program of which is laid out in multiple halls of different sizes and features The main entrance leads into a large central foyer which is considered as a vital space for meeting beyond its practical and gestural functions the corners of the staggered prisms are freed up and can be used as communal rest and study spaces The building envelope unifies a heterogeneous interior and a variety of programmatic elements within

generating nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequences (NUMTs) We obtained 499 alignment matches covering 340.2 kbp of the yak nuclear genome we identified 167 NUMT regions with a total length of ~ 503 kbp We discovered copies of all mitochondrial regions and found that most NUMT regions are intergenic or intronic and mostly untranscribed 98 different NUMT regions from domestic yak showed high homology with cow and/or wild yak genomes suggesting selection or hybridization between domestic/wild yak and cow To rule out the possibility that the identified NUMTs could be artifacts of the domestic yak genome assembly we validated experimentally five NUMT regions by PCR amplification As NUMT regions show high similarity to the mitochondrial genome can potentially pose a risk to domestic yak DNA mitochondrial studies special care is therefore needed to select primers for PCR amplification of mitochondrial DNA sequences included one NUMT sharing homologies with mitochondrial ND5 gene and generating a false mitochondrial variant believed to be responsible for hearing loss It is therefore important to identify nuclear sequences of mitochondrial origin NUMTs in domestic yak can possibly affect the previous domestication and introgression studies we present the first study of NUMTs in the domestic yak genome This study will therefore allow a more accurate analysis of the mitogenome of this yak species respectively) were also retrieved from Genbank using 50 ng of genomic DNA from a male domestic yak of Mongolian origins 200 μM of each dNTP and 1.0 μM of each PCR primer The following touchdown cycling protocol was used: 95 °C for 2 min followed by 13 cycles of 95 °C for 1 min 1 min of annealing (the annealing temperature was progressively lowered from 68 to 56 °C in steps of 1 °C every cycle) and 72 °C for 2 min These initial cycles were followed by 30 cycles of 95 °C for 1 min and a final extension step at 72 °C for 5 min PCR products were analysed by electrophoresis on an 1% agarose gel to verify the expected length of amplicons The nucleotide sequences of the amplicons were subsequently determined using Sanger sequencing (Eurofins Genomics) All sequences were visually inspected using Chromas (Technelysium) and then aligned to the BosGru3.0 domestic yak reference genome sequence using blastn Distribution of NUMTs (alignment matches) across all chromosomes. Dot plot representing the alignment of a large nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequence (Y.3.84) with the domestic yak mitogenome. Sequences of the mitochondrial genome and of the sequence of the NUMT region are plotted on X axis and Y axis respectively. The positions indicated in the axes of the dot plot start at 1 and go to the complete length of the sequence. Therefore, dot plot representation is not on the same scale for the X and Y axes. Number of nuclear mitochondrial DNA sequences containing each region of the domestic yak mitogenome We compared the location of the 167 NUMT regions using the latest gene annotation of the domestic yak. NUMTs are mostly located in non-genic regions. We identified only 48 NUMT regions overlapping with 46 genes (45 NUMT regions) and 3 pseudogenes (3 NUMT regions; Supplementary material—Table S4) We found that 31 NUMT regions overlapping with genes are located in introns NUMT region Y1.7 is located within intron 3 of TNFSF10 All remaining NUMTs contains 5′ or 3′ untranslated regions located on chromosome 10 and 10.7 kb long encompasses the full sequence of a novel single-exon gene (ENSBGRG00000022824) encoding a 112 amino-acid protein This gene is conserved in several mammalian species Interestingly none of these refseq_rna sequences share significant homology to the mitochondrial genome however at least six of these refseq_rna sequence contain domains associated to mitochondrial proteins (e.g We did not find significant matches between the sequences of NUMTs and ESTs only 74 ESTs from domestic yak are currently deposited in NCBI databases all generated from a single mammary gland sample The results of these sequence comparisons suggest the possibility that some of the NUMT regions we identified contain elements that might be transcribed In order to further examine the possible transcription of the identified NUMTs we predicted with ORF Finder open reading frames located within the sequences of each NUMT region containing a start codon but without a stop codon The remaining part of those predicted ORFs may be found in the nuclear sequences flanking these NUMT regions We found 110 different conserved protein domains most of these protein domains are shared with proteins encoded by the mitochondrial genome (e.g PCR amplification of 5 NUMT regions with genomic DNA Therefore special care should be taken when selecting primers for PCR amplification of mitochondrial DNA Analyses used as raw data publicly

vintage touch to any space 'The term "Toile de Jouy" refers to a specific type of printed fabric that originated in the French town of Jouy-en-Josas in 1760,' explains designer Nina Lichtenstein traditionally depicting idyllic scenes of rural life was first produced by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf The early designs often featured romanticized pastoral themes the pattern became immensely popular throughout Europe.' When it comes to the choice of space, Toile de Jouy, with its intricate and illustrative features, works just as well in a small bathroom as it does in a large office – so while Goldblum's closet is small 'Toile de Jouy wallpaper is an instant way to create a statement in any room,' Lichtenstein says consider covering all four walls in a room like a study or bedroom This immersive approach works beautifully in smaller spaces where the pattern can wrap the room in its narrative charm consider using Toile de Jouy as an accent wall or within a niche to add character without overwhelming the space.'

Today's topic? The Musée de la Toile de Jouy nestled in the charming town of Jouy-en-Josas (78) Created in 1977 to perpetuate Oberkampf's work the museum is entirely dedicated to toile de Jouy the famous cotton fabric printed with floral and character motifs The institution has been housed in the Château de l'Églantine since 1991 The Musée de la Toile de Jouy offers a true immersion into the heart of production at the Manufacture Oberkampf (1760-1843) This factory revolutionized the Frenchtextile industry by introducing innovative techniques for the production of printed cotton fabrics It quickly became a benchmark for quality and creativity brightly-colored designs seducing the most prestigious customers from the royal court of Versailles to the Parisian Maisons de Haute Couture A visit to the museum begins with a stroll through the Oberkampf family's inspired interiors where furnishings are adorned with the precious printed fabrics This is followed by a dozen or so areas showcasing one-of-a-kind fashion and decor pieces in a veritable creative journey from the time of 18th-century makers to today's designers toile de Jouy is used in the collections of major brands such as Dior and Chloé This educational trail also reveals the manufacturing process behind the iconic fabric videos and schematic explanations lining certain walls But the museum is much more than a place to preserve and contemplate the fabric It's also the venue forexhibitions by contemporary artists inspired by the toile de Jouy and its poetic universe as well as a meeting place for enthusiasts

fashion trends for The Paris Review and the New York Times Magazine “Toile has been popular in North America for as long as North America has been known as North America It was very popular in the early colonies,” she says “Toile fabric and toile wallpaper can be found in historic houses throughout New England people really liked certain colors—varieties of red pink—which is why the Dior pieces look so traditional The color palette is in line with what early toile prints would look like,” Katy continues who inserts tropes of black bodies into historical mediums (such as cut-paper silhouettes) This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from Sheila writes about the Harlem Toile design on her website: “As an African American living in Harlem I have always been intrigued and inspired by the historical narrative of the decorative arts especially traditional French toile with its pastoral motifs from the late 1700s I'm entertained by the stories these patterns tell and the questions they sometimes raise But after searching for many years for the perfect toile for my own home I decided that it quite simply didn’t exist.” a couple dancing to a beatbox wearing traditional colonial garb Sheila’s Harlem Toile design has been displayed at The Studio Museum In Harlem the Museum of Art and Design in New York City and even the actual Musée De La Toile De Jouy in Jouy-en Josas While at first glance the print appears pretty and old-fashioned Katy explains that’s what makes it fun to subvert with bright neon colors and unexpected uses—such as Dior’s bikini “A toile bikini is subversive in its own way—here's a pattern you see on quilts you put that on your nipples tied by little strings?” she says There’s something inherently funny about little French

used for both clothing and furnishings These monochromatic printed textiles were originally created in the 18th century by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf a French naturalized German industrialist in Jouy-en-Josas They were famous for their illustrations of rustic scenes of country life though other floral versions also existed.googletag.cmd.push(function() {

A gathered bodice and flowing ribbons add to the toile print’s romance. Ideal for a poolside cocktail party, preferably in Positano. Named after the Ho’okipa beach in Hawaii, this Toile de Jouy dress would pair well with a straw bag and a tropical beverage. A departure from the expected blue and red, this forest green dress is the perfect summer wedding guest dress. The magazine that informs, decrypts and gives food for thought no one imagined that the micro­organisms in our gut could play an important role in our health scientists are highlighting the links with many diseases paving the way for a real revolution in our approach to health Recent discoveries show that the links between microbiota and health are numerous The good news is that there are ways to take care of our microbiota and preserve our interactions with it A look at the key factors for a life in symbiosis The French Gut is a national contribution on the gut microbiota Map and understand the heterogeneity of French healthy gut microbiota as well as their deviations in chronic diseases collect of 100,000 faecal samples and associated nutritional and clinical Siège : 147 rue de l'Université 75338 Paris Cedex 07 - tél The "Prion Task Force" has received the INRA Science with an Impact Award for 2018 the task force carries out research on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) of which the best-known example is mad cow disease and save farms and livestock industries from the menace of TSEs The last 20 years have flown by,” says Olivier Andréoletti a veterinarian and pathologist who joined the team early on "We were exhilarated by the possibilities: the research slate was blank." Human Rezaei we worked together to define concepts and create tools that we could use to better understand prion diseases." A geneticist focused on in vivo models "And we always had complete trust in each other." Even as they receive this award which recognises fundamental research with crucial societal impacts the scientists will not rest on their laurels because so much remains to be done "The concepts and tools we have developed for prion diseases can help researchers take a new look at other diseases that are caused by protein accumulation in the brain such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's," explains Vincent Béringue which was neither a parasite nor a micro-organism the situation seemed impossible in March 1996 when the "mad cow” crisis turned the spotlight on a rare disease that can be transmitted to humans via contaminated food also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) causes an uncommon and incurable disease in humans known as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) It is part of the same disease group as classical Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease more than 12,000 cases of BSE were declared per month in the UK The crisis resulted in a series of economic consequences: herds of livestock were slaughtered the European Union placed an embargo on UK-produced beef consumers developed a long-lasting mistrust of the food industry and the ability of the EU to ensure food safety and security was called into question The ability of BSE to move from cattle to humans raised suspicions about other TSEs Scientists were confronted with a barrage of questions: what was this new pathogen a type of protein naturally found in humans and other mammals Prions are misfolded versions of a common protein but this structural difference can render them pathogenic allowing the "contamination" to spread among neighboring proteins What can be done to prevent prion diseases no hypothesis is off the table when working on prions." Since its beginnings the group has worked to eradicate prion diseases in livestock and to reduce the risk of their occurrence in humans where infections are linked to contaminated food or medical procedures involving infected tissue Six million euros of public and private funding will be invested in this work which will allow the group to acquire greater expertise and international visibility in the field of prion research as well as to train the next generation of scientists Thirty EU-funded projects are being established in collaboration with more than 30 labs outside of France "INRA has committed itself fully to ensuring that advances are made at all levels from the lab to the field." This research is also helping to inform public policy and has contributed to more than 150 sets of recommendations issued by French Taking a new look at Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease a herd of sheep naturally infected by scrapie in the 1990s provided the researchers with an unprecedented tool for studying TSEs in a natural host animal genetics laboratories in Toulouse managed to decipher the genetic determinants of scrapie resistance in sheep "Thanks to these discoveries,” comments Jean-Michel Elsen "nearly 1 million sheep were genotyped for the prion protein gene The information gleaned was used to restructure breeding programmes at the national scale in collaboration with IDELE* and the sheep breeding industry An EU-scale programme was then developed." As a result the incidence of scrapie in French livestock has fallen drastically over the past 15 years a highly vulnerable sheep breed in the Pyrenees (the red-headed Manex) has been saved in vivo animal models were used in the laboratory to study the prions causing TSEs in humans and other animals which included characterising their pathogenicity it only takes one or two prions to cause disease although the process can take 50 to 60 years in humans,” comment Vilotte and Béringue we have been able to reproduce disease development but on an accelerated scale." Since 2001 the task force has published more than 300 articles on prion diversity and infection dynamics The risk of food-related transmission has significantly declined in the cattle and goat industries thanks to the implementation of drastic health and safety measures it is very likely that there remain asymptomatic carriers of vCJD (e.g. someone develops inherited or sporadic CJD hospitals put into place very strict measures for preventing the transmission of prion diseases via blood transfusions As a result of its numerous collaborations INRA has developed innovative methods for detecting BSE and vCJD prions and for evaluating transmission risks rapid assessment tests that do not require animal cells This research can thus inform our understanding of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease TSEs emerged in cervids in Scandinavia and dromedaries in North Africa They identified the prion types responsible for the diseases as well as the tissues at risk and urinary tract (in the case of the cervids) Certain questions crop up every time a new TSE is identified: are these prions dangerous for humans "They all are a bit dangerous...the species barrier is breaking down between humans and animals,” remark the scientists whose work espouses the One Health approach which recognises the connections among animal health The "Prion Task Force” comprises research teams and resources from four INRA centres—Jouy-en-Josas and Tours—and represents four scientific divisions—Animal Health Chemical Food Safety and Consumer Behaviour The following research teams are involved: The "4 parts per 1000" initiative proposes to increase organic matter contents and encourage carbon sequestration in soils through the application of appropriate farming and forestry practices The Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI) has published its new brochure and a flyer on soil management in the context of climate change mitigation The brochure presents the achievements and future actions of FACCE-JPI and includes several key interviews The flyer highlights some of the research projects that are part of the 'FACCE-JPI Multi-Partner Call on Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research' Both documents were presented at the International Conference on Agricultural GHG Emissions and Food Security organised by GRA and FACCE-JPI in Berlin (10-13 September 2018) Rut Carballido-López is the winner of a 2017 Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) The award will provide 1.9 million euros to fund her team’s research on the morphogenesis of bacteria and ultimately to open up new doors to finding different modes of action for antibiotics The Bibliome-MaIAGE team and INRA's Scientific and Technical Information Delegation (DIST) are contributing to the European OpenMinTeD infrastructure project the objective of which is to set up an online IT platform encouraging and facilitating the use of text and data mining technologies for research Faced with the upsurge in the quantities of published scientific knowledge researchers have an increasing need of tools to help them quickly analyze texts and extract accurate data Text mining technologies have been developed to meet this expectation the devices have been designed by taking into account the specificities of the research fields the types of text to be treated or the desired analysis resulting in a fragmented landscape of incompatible text mining solutions Create a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing on text-mining The objective of the European OpenMinTeD project is to create a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing on text mining for scientists in all fields with the Bibliome-MaIAGE team and the DIST is involved in the project along with 16 other academic partners whose contributions are coordinated by the Athena Research and Innovation Centre (ARC) The consortium is working on the integration of resources (scientific literature and annotation resources) and text mining software components facilitating their reuse by making them interoperable INRA's contribution to OpenMinTeD is to bring and integrate Alvis technologies developed by the Bibliome team over many years The design of the platform being guided by use cases this contribution fits more broadly into the design and implementation of innovative applications in the fields of agriculture and food With INRA units in food microbiology and the Migale bioinformatics platform Bibliome-MaIAGE team and DIST have set up the Florilege application Its objective is to bring together in a unified representation public information (from databases and scientific articles) on the positive flora of foods (useful for processing Two other use cases have been developed by Bibliome-MaIAGE and DIST The first was developed in collaboration with the Info Genomic Research Unit (URGI) within the WheatIS application an integrated information system on wheat phenotypes and genotypes built with the Institute of Plant Sciences Paris-Saclay on the "SeeDev" application integrates data from the "FLAGdb++" plant genome database with the regulations involved in the development of Arabidopsis thaliana seed extracted from scientific publications This allows researchers not only to obtain information on the activity of genes during seed development (their interactions or the proteins they produce for example) but also to have access to the scientific texts describing this activity Each of these innovative services integrates experimental data expert data and data extracted en masse by OpenMinTeD from text The last OpenMinTeD consortium meeting took place from 12 to 14 February 2018 at INRA research centre in Jouy-en-Josas joined by Open Access communities providing content and text mining IT communities are currently completing the integration of their applications and components into the platform which will be officially launched on 24 May 2018 in Brussels Extraction and formalization of knowledge from text The Bibliome group's objective is the development of new methods and technologies for the extraction and formalisation of fine-grained information and knowledge from textual documents, e.g. scientific papers The methods are mainly based on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning algorithms.  The application to Life Science and Agriculture requires new integrative approaches that interlink textual data with other experimental data to be exploited together in analysis tools and bioinformatics platforms It also requires a user-friendly interface for the training of the text-mining tools the vizualisation and curation of their results Text-mining in a focused domain from small corpora uses external resources such as nomenclatures The Bibliome group also develops methods for designing vocabularies and ontologies The use of such formal resources contributes to the linking with other data The Bibliome group has organized shared tasks on bacteria biotopes and on gene regulation in microorganisms and in plants since 2005 (e.g Bibliome's web site  Please enable JS and
