two goals down in this tie and crashing out of the Europa League in calamitous fashion thanks to goals from Manuel Ugarte and Diogo Dalot “A capitulation… an embarrassment,” declared former United defender Rio Ferdinand on TNT Sports And then the most unlikely collection of things happened to send United to a semi-final against Athletic Club on May 1 and May 8 Lyon had levelled the tie with two goals in six minutes  — first Corentin Tolisso and then Nicolas Tagliafico And while a red card for Tolisso — given a second yellow after clipping Leny Yoro — provided some hope the brilliant Rayan Cherki struck in the first half of extra time and then Alexandre Lacazette scored from the penalty spot after a Luke Shaw foul Bruno Fernandes pulled one back from the penalty spot then came a cool strike from substitute Kobbie Mainoo and then up popped the forehead of Maguire to keep United alive in this competition on one of the great European nights at Old Trafford Charlotte Harpur and Anantaajith Raghuraman catch their breath and discuss the key talking points… As United’s Premier League season went from bad to worse it soon became apparent it was Bilbao or bust It sums up United’s dreary campaign that so much rode on Thursday night’s result it was a quarter-final second-leg Europa League tie against Lyon especially compared to some of this week’s enticing Champions League games But zoom in and the consequences are significant particularly after such a remarkable game of football This is something for United to cling to and a galvanising boost of much-needed confidence United easily produced one of their best first-half performances this season before capitulating in the second half surrendering pressure and missing the opportunity to go 3-0 up Despite conceding four goals after half-time there really was nothing left to save the season Most importantly for the club is the financial aspect United could expect to earn around £85.8million ($114m) as a minimum if they qualify for next season’s Champions League by winning this season’s Europa League they still have many hoops to jump through but Thursday’s win has taken them one crucial step closer to the final This section was meant to be an item about Ruben Amorim’s reluctance to make substitutions during what was supposed to be the key period of the game It was critical of Amorim for not changing things sooner For waiting until the 86th minute to finally bring on Kobbie Mainoo and who looked understandably lost in a position he had played once before in his senior career And it lamented that United’s best plan when all is collapsing around them is to apparently stick Maguire up front 120 – Manchester United are the first team in history to score two goals in the 120th minute of a major European match. Amorimtime. pic.twitter.com/d9VCeb0Wiq — OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) April 17, 2025 United did not have the players on the pitch to win in extra time And then Mainoo whipped that strike in to equalise on aggregate And then Maguire guided that header inside the post to win the most incredible European occasion in Old Trafford’s history You wondered whether Andre Onana had learned anything from the past week when smiled and cockily nodded his head in the direction of Lyon’s supporters But the most important lesson he could take on board from the first leg’s calamities was not to let his team-mates down again although he might have hoped for a bit more help from them Onana pulled off several excellent saves — first to deny Cherki low and down to his right at a critical juncture in the first half There was a carbon copy to deny Tolisso at the start of the second and another from Ainsley Maitland-Niles that was not as easy as it looked But with pressure building on United’s goal he needed more assistance from those in front of him His defenders failed to take responsibility for Tolisso There was not much Onana could do about that His positioning could be questioned for Lyon’s second as Tagliafico’s shot crept across the line before he could make a reactive save either Maguire or Yoro could have reacted quicker to stop the shot from coming At least there were not the individual errors of the first leg for Onana Manchester United and attacking fluidity have rarely been uttered in the same sentence this season But the first half against Lyon saw them play some of their best attacking football under Ruben Amorim taking a step forward from the home match against Real Sociedad last month which Amorim said “showed a little bit of the future” The first goal came from Fernandes passing to Dalot and jogging forward turning back and then sprinting to the left wing Dalot’s positioning had pulled left-back Tagliafico close to him and he passed back to Noussair Mazraoui whose clipped first-time pass found Fernandes occupying the space Tagliafico had vacated and his first touch took him past two Lyon defenders to the byline Rasmus Hojlund wrestled with Moussa Niakhate creating space in the box for Manuel Ugarte to run into and finish The second goal was simpler in its creation Maguire’s ball over the top was attacked by Dalot as Fernandes held his position Tagliafico tracked back but was easily outmuscled by Dalot Those were not the only occasions United troubled Lyon with such long passes into the channels Dalot played a similar pass over Tagliafico to Fernandes who hit the crossbar with a stretching volley Casemiro played a first-time pass over the top — similar to the pass to Fernandes that led to Hojlund winning a penalty against Real Sociedad — to Ugarte who made the run to the same right channel to win a corner United combined clever off-the-ball movements with a simple passing strategy and excellent execution in the first half I was watching the ’99 (Champions League win) commentary to have some inspiration for this moment you could feel it during the game and then 4-2 with one more player On his subs: “We tried to put Harry Maguire (up front) because he’s the only guy that can score a goal with his head And then Kobbie Mainoo has a lack of pace in this moment because he had that injury and he stopped for a while But he’s really good in small spaces and then he has the ability to score that kind of goal.” On players returning from injury: “It’s really important because you can feel that playing Premier League and European games is really hard Luke Shaw was meant to play 30 minutes tops but we had a problem with Nouss(air Mazraoui) at half-time So all this stuff happened during this game but On the performance: “We started well but we are not really consistent in maintaining the game in the same way for a long time “We should do better with Lyon’s two goals but that’s it We have a lot to improve but the character was there.” On frustration over his team’s inconsistency: “Of course because the reflection of the coach is in the league but your reflection as a team is the league and we are underperforming You can see that we lack a lot of characteristics in our team You want to push forward and you seek Garna(cho) but you feel he’s the only one who can make the transitions On the belief this win will provide: “Sometimes we just look at the tactical or physical aspect but this kind of moment can change a lot in the players’ minds We have to be really focused on the Europa League we have to take a risk sometimes with the kids in the Premier League and we have to be tough on that and the fans have to understand that we want to focus on the Europa League.”  (Top photo: James Gill/Danehouse/Getty Images) Perfectly befitting their up-and-down season Manchester United took the scenic route (and then some) to reach the semifinals of the Europa League with a 5-4 victory (7-6 on aggregate) over Lyon on Thursday MORE -

(02/06/2025) – The Washington Spirit has agreed to terms with French sister club Olympique Lyon (OL) to bring defender Kysha Sylla to DC on loan for the 2025 season Sylla will occupy an international slot on the Spirit roster “I am very excited to join Washington Spirit for the upcoming season,” said Sylla “It’s a great opportunity for me to grow as a player and experience a new challenge Sylla has appeared in 17 matches in the Première Ligue and tallied nearly 1,000 minutes of playing time a Champions League title and another Champions League final appearance in her first three seasons with the club “Kysha represents another talented addition to this year’s roster,” said President of Soccer Operations/General Manager Mark Krikorian “We expect her to have a significant impact on the team’s success in the defending third this season.”  The Paryaski sisters are so crucial to the Plymouth Christian Academy softball team that South Lyon tried to avoid them during last week's tournament blue!" South Lyon coach Jerry Shippe yelled at the umpire from the dugout The Lions thought they'd have a better chance at getting out of a bases-loaded jam than keeping either sister from smacking a walk-off Reminder: South Lyon is a Division 1 team that played in the state semifinal at Michigan State a year ago, just sent the 2022 Michigan Gatorade Player of the Year to Duke and has an enrollment of 1,005 more students than the D-4 PCA That's a lot of respect to show the Paryaskis yet it's warranted because the sisters are a big reason why the Eagles are a favorite to win a state championship 3 by the Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association until it lost a doubleheader to Livonia Stevenson another D-1 program ranked just outside the top 10 They've already played against bigger schools such as Plymouth And they've won almost half of those matchups Some of that has to do with the tremendous travel experience the sisters have as they've played for the Firecrackers Fastpitch Softball program and have faced elite competition every summer Taking on a Kensington Lakes Activities Association team isn't as scary as it sounds when you're used to seeing similar pitching and defense on the travel circuit And their confidence has been contagious to the other Eagles who aren't year-round ballplayers that's helped the sisters become better leaders "They've just been great encouragers to the whole team," third-year coach Jori Groen said and they don't do it in an intimidating or bossy way They've just been incredible leaders and captains on our team The Paryaskis are from a long line of baseball and softball players who played for nearby Concordia-Ann Arbor from 2018-2021 They were always around a diamond growing up They actually started high school playing for Michigan Independent Athletic Conference rival Southfield Christian before transferring to PCA as juniors They made an immediate impact with the Eagles last year, even helping them win the league and go on to capture the program's first district championship since 2019 but the schedule is definitely tougher because we play these bigger schools," Sophie said We're not going to win every game based on numbers and experience but we fight really well and we can be really scrappy Their statistics and recent milestones make it easy to see why Alma College signed both sisters she carried a .515 batting average and .616 on-base percentage while recording 16 doubles She also scored 44 runs and stole 34 bases she recorded both her 100th career RBI and 100th run scored but she's also been just as reliable as a pitcher which is saying something because the Eagles also have Clara Groen arguably one of the best junior pitchers in Michigan Groen would be a full-time starter for most D-1 teams in the state so the fact that she shares time with Sophie shows how talented both arms really are Sophie recently scored her 150th career run adding to the stellar stats she had as a junior finishing with a .509 batting average and recording 14 doubles five triples and three home runs and totaling 51 RBIs She also scored 48 runs and stole 27 bases She went 12-1 as a pitcher with 121 strikeouts and a 1.42 earned-run average last season "Our experience here has been really good," Chloe said "The atmosphere is a really great and the team is amazing but there is a little more pressure on us because not a lot of the girls on our team play travel So I've definitely had to step up to be a little more of a leader this year being the only catcher has been a lot of work." there are no days off when you play for a small school against a schedule loaded with D-1 teams especially for the up-and-comers still acclimating to varsity softball who thought they were out of the woods by intentionally walking the Paryaskis to put Mariah Wright at the plate the freshman belted a double toward the center-field fence bringing home Groen for the walk-off run in the 6-5 victory and putting a pair of smiles on the sisters' faces as they raced to the backstop to celebrate the win with their teammates Brandon Folsom covers high school sports in metro Detroit for Hometown Life.

Down 6-4 with 19 minutes left, Grady Walker punched home a penalty kick to bring the Lyons to within a goal. Mullen tied the match two minutes later and added the game-winner with 15 minutes left. The win snapped a 12-match losing streak for the Lyons dating back to last year. The seven goals scored was their most since a 9-0 win at Logan County on Sept. 22, 2022. In last week’s 7-3 win over Lyon County in Hopkinsville, Kallan Davis scored all seven Warrior goals. On Thursday, he added four more – two in each half. It was Lucas West who scored one of the quickest goals in Warrior history just 20 seconds into the match. A goal by Davis in the 10th minute staked the Warriors to a 2-0 lead before Kveon Cain got Lyon County on the board in the 16th minute. After Davis again got loose and put HCA up 3-1, Lyon answered with three straight goals to end the first half – perhaps a precursor for the second half. Walker scored ahead of a header by Mauro Martinez Furones that knotted the match at 3-3. Cayden Webber scored with three minutes left to give the Lyons a 4-3 advantage at halftime. HCA scored the first three goals of the second half as Jayden Nichols scored his first varsity goal ahead of Davis’ two tallies. Davis now has 20 goals for the Warriors (1-5-1), who will host University Heights Academy in a Saturday noon district contest. Lyon County (1-6) will play at Trigg County on Tuesday in a 5th District battle – the first of two games in nine days between the border rivals. Your email address will not be published.

Broadly biological and narrowly human conceptions of the capacities encompassed by the general concept of cognition (Lyon, 2006) yet is far from being accepted – even by microbiologists – as anything relevantly like memory in complex vertebrates Cognitive scientists might be similarly dismissive were they to give it any thought at all they (to say nothing of microbiologists) have yet to connect the dots with memory processes in prokaryotes In the following pages I hope to show that such linguistic usage is not wholly metaphorical I believe there is something going on at the microscopic level that doesn’t just ‘look’ cognitive it is typically considered cognitive when studied in animals more like us it is (for the most part) uncontroversial within the domain of comparative psychology and cognitive ethology and others like it in the cognitive scientific literature emphasizes the psychologically delineated elements of the function Others concerned with the specifically biological manifestation of cognitive function – which historically includes William James and Humberto Maturana—emphasize the ecological context of information ‘use,’ what cognition does for the organism in the business of staying alive in a particular ecological niche Biological cognition is the complex of sensory and other information-processing mechanisms an organism has for becoming familiar with, valuing, and [interacting with] its environment in order to meet existential goals, the most basic of which are survival, [growth or thriving], and reproduction. (Lyon, 2014 BOX 1: The basic cognitive ‘toolkit.’ Such mechanisms are characterized by non-linear responsivity integration of multiple information channels at least) habituation and adaptation phenomena These structural and dynamical features are among the defining features of neuronal sensory processing in animals In the psychological literature, assignment of an existential value to the sum of information concerning current circumstances, internal and external, is called valence, which has been described as ‘a basic building block of emotional life’ (Barrett, 2006). Valence refers to the attractiveness, acceptability or tolerability of a stimulus (Lyon, 2014) Usually such stimuli are rendered in terms of ‘positive’ or ‘negative,’ ‘attractant’ or ‘repellant,’ in addition to neutral stimuli to which the organism is indifferent but these characterizations are not always stable Aversive conditioning depends on the capacity of previously neutral or even positive stimuli to become negative for an organism under particular circumstances all sensory signals have a context-dependent valence—positive negative or neutral—which influences the available response In mammals specialized brain-based systems exist for this purpose, notably the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the limbic system, which together appraise for a given signal not only what it is and where it is but also what it means ‘for me’ (Vedder, 2008) This involves brain structures such as the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex Although bacteria lack such specialized organs the valence of a signal is implicit in the processes that coordinate the rotation bias of flagellar motors or the complex developmental sequence of signaling genetic transcription and protein expression that leads to sporulation Bacteria are capable of sensing and responding to an astonishing variety of environmental signals: amino acids, sugars, oxygen, pH, osmolarity, temperature, light, secondary metabolites, molecular waste products (e.g., ammonia), environmental DNA, and other microbes (both conspecifics and other species)—even physical objects such as tiny, chemically inert beads (Dworkin, 1983) by millions of base pairs (Mbp) and type of system 153) observes that the majority of ECF groups are phylum-specific “reflecting the similar life style and physiology of a given group of related organisms.” The activity of many sigma is typically controlled although see the section on “Communication and Sociality” below The supposition is that QS systems ensure that individuals do not act in ways that are too costly and unproductive when undertaken by one or a few cells A few cells releasing a virulence factor will be swiftly attacked by a host immune system; bioluminescent molecules secreted by a lone symbiont will not be visible In different species AI systems may have widely differing regulatory components and molecular mechanisms. Commonly, however, AI concentrations are detected via ligand binding at membrane-bound receptors (2CSs) or via intracellular receptors that detect membrane-diffusible peptides (1CSs), and detection at threshold stimulates not only changes in the cell’s genetic transcription but also up-regulates AI production (Rutherford and Bassler, 2012) which proposed that individual cells synthesize AIs to ascertain the physical properties of their environment to calibrate regulatory and behavioral responses for their own benefit Although anthropomorphism is never mentioned the article’s last paragraph gestures obliquely in that direction: We seem to be most prone to errors with those processes that most strongly distinguish us from bacteria—our sexuality and our sociality… perhaps because we are social animals we find the idea that bacteria have evolved communication and cooperation very appealing (p These articles helped to inspire theoretical and empirical work seeking alternative explanations for autoinduction beyond the default assumption that QS was communication Alternative terms for autoinduction based on dominant factors influencing concentrations of AI molecules both agree that some forms of autoinduction enable social behavior in bacteria and can be appropriately viewed as communicative aeroginosa as the only explicit attempts to test the social-signaling hypothesis both agree that terminological expansion has gone too far and that QS is now so entrenched that it can be used generically with the understanding that usage carries no social implications in the absence of further investigation However, from a theoretical standpoint, considerable work remains to be done, mainly because evolutionary theory is far from univocal on the issue of how social behavior and communication evolve. A treatment of this topic is beyond the scope of this article. I have argued elsewhere that bacterial sociality has much to teach evolutionary biologists as they refine the overarching framework of evolutionary theory, which is still very much a work in progress (Lyon, 2007) there appears to be a correlation between the complexity of the signaling pathways a bacterium possesses and the complexity of its behavior although more research is needed to see if this observation holds generally According to the microbial signal transduction (MiST2) database (Ulrich and Zhulin, 2010), from which all of the following figures are derived, the largest and smallest genomes in the bacterial kingdom are found among the gamma-proteobacteria (see Table 2.) The genome of Buchnera aphidocola which express only three (3) 1CSs and no ECFs a pathogenic species that inhabits brackish saltwater and has the capacity to withstand digestion both by seafood and humans In addition, M. xanthus has twice the number of ECFs as V. parahaemolyticus, providing greater flexibility in responding to stress (Ulrich and Zhulin, 2010). Moreover, it has an unusually large number of genes (97) involved in synthesizing serine/threonine protein kinases (Goldman et al., 2006) signaling proteins that are rare in prokaryotes but which are involved in a wide variety of processes in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes threonine and tyrosine kinases have been shown to inhibit development in M it may be that bacteria provide the best test case of his thesis’s fundamental assertion and helped to make sense of important work over the previous decade by several research groups which shows how similar proteins can function quite differently in similar contexts Cell reversal appears to be somehow obligate to myxococcal life, not simply to motility. In the hundreds of motility mutants created since 1970, none to date has been unidirectional (Kaiser and Warrick, 2011). This may be because the continuous movement of cells in a swarm is necessary to facilitate access to oxygen (above) and nutrients (below), and thus to reduce intercellular competition (Kaiser and Warrick, 2011) the motility apparatus of the cell is constantly changing position during swarming inner membrane and periplasm and included the A-motility protein CglB Finally, swarms are different from colonies. Swarming motility depends on growth—it ceases when growth ceases—but swarms expand mainly by movement, not growth (Kaiser and Warrick, 2011). Although cells in a swarm are in all stages of the growth cycle, only 10% of swarm expansion is shown to be due to growth, whereas in a colony 90% of expansion is growth-related (Kaiser and Warrick, 2011) The remainder of the section, which is derived entirely from Kaiser and Warrick (2014) describes what time-lapse microscopy of cells with fluorescent-labeled proteins revealed about what goes on in myxococcal swarms the function of which are unclear: planar rafts the cells on the top layer of the mounds translocate in an explosive synchronized descent to the peripheries of the fourth layer The explosive descent appears to be the result of a synchronized and simultaneous inhibition of all motility engines From their new position the translocated cells slowly and asynchronously begin the climb to the top again the cells align into a compact arrangement as a result of A-motility signal proteins The mechanism by which this occurs is unknown the FACs assemble on the sides of the leading half of the cells The FACs then vanish and relocate to the trailing half which upon cell reversal becomes the leading half as they move in the opposite direction along their long axes If the mechanism operates similarly to Wnt signaling in eukaryotes the four levels of layering could allow Cglb proteins to pass the signal sequentially from one compartment space to another providing a high degree of specificity between the upstream and downstream binding partners as well as with the intracellular compartment The signaling synchronizes the Frz-cluster pacemakers in the cell pair, which brings them into phase, effectively ‘resetting’ both cells to the average value of their pre-connection phases, a mechanism reminiscent of the scaling of synaptic firing potentials in neurons to ensure that overstimulation of one synapse does not distort the functioning of the network (Turrigiano, 2008) Pairing is followed by cell reversal, which allows the cells to separate and move in a new direction, thus enabling the signal (whatever it is) to be spread, and the cells to become synchronized, which is necessary for coordinating the explosive descent. Thus, as Kaiser and Warrick (2011 1309) observe: “Every cell in a mound should be available for pairwise signaling cells in each layer are in contact with one another and cells in a mound are able to move from one layer to another.” CglB is critical to this dynamic process of construction: CglB mutants can swarm but they cannot build and understanding this behavior may throw light on the sensorimotor behavior of social animals is whether and how bacteria remember and learn and to what extent these capacities are relevantly like memory and learning in more complex animals Significantly, because stressful circumstances require immediate remedial action in a way attractive circumstances do not, in humans and other mammals memories for adverse events tend to be much stronger than those for positive events (Baumeister et al., 2001) which is why aversive conditioning is such a powerful tool The pho regulon of E. coli, which operates to detect the metabolically critical nutrient Pi through the canonical PhoR/PhoB 2CS, was selected as the signaling pathway for experimentation (Hoffer et al., 2001) Upon stimulation the histidine kinase PhoR autophosphorylates and transfers phosphoryl groups to the cognate RR PhoR which then amplifies production of the two components Thus signaling through PhoR/PhoB boosts production of the transduction components Cells from an exponentially growing population of phoA mutants were incubated first in a Pi limited medium (for 45 min at 42°) then in a high Pi medium (for 1 h at 30°) the cells were transferred to Pi limited medium and incubated at 30° The speed at which alkaline phosphatase production was induced enabling the cell to scavenge traces of Pi or phosphorylated compounds from the environment Three different strains of B. subtilis were grown under 10 different conditions, which varied according to the nutrient richness of the growth medium (rich and less-rich) and the density to which the population was allowed to grow, of which there were five classes (Wolf et al., 2008) two fluorescent ‘reporter’ strains were created to measure three variables: (1) commitment to sporulation a bistable process indicated by SpoIIE expression; (2) synthesis of AprE a degradative enzyme that breaks down food sources functions as a nutrient locator in deprived conditions and shares many regulators with sporulation but has a different expression pattern and is not believed to be bistable; and (3) growth After the growth period, the 30 different cell populations were sorted into identical densities and exposed to a common stressor, a starvation salt medium known to induce sporulation. Every 15 min for 24 h the 30 samples were measured in relation to growth, AprE synthesis, and commitment to sporulation (SpoIIE expression). Although Wolf et al. (2008) defined short-term memory effects as those measured within the first 11 h following exposure to the stress medium in humans this timescale already would be said to involve long-term memory The study found that differences in life history gave rise to differences of varying strength in patterns of behavior relative to three variables (SpoIIE expression AprE synthesis and growth) following a common stressor which could either indicate ‘lifelong’ memory or the beginning of epigenetic memory across generations The data also suggest that memory strength and persistence are highly correlated with the energetics of survival Growth medium was a better predictor of subsequent behavior than the density to which the original population was grown Cells grown on the less-rich medium prior to exposure to the starvation salts pursued a more aggressive strategy On average they grew “very fast” after exposure induced AprE synthesis “after a brief lag,” and continued to grow even as the sporulation machinery switched on Luria broth medium “seem[ed] to adopt a wait-and-see strategy,” did not grow and delayed sporulation and AprE synthesis “for many hours.” As noted earlier, the finding that sporulation dynamics triggered by worsening circumstances exhibited “the most memory” (Wolf et al., 2008), despite involving the most energetically costly and far-reaching changes in the population, is consistent with results in human psychology and animal behavior (Lyon, 2014) recent studies demonstrating anticipatory behavior in bacteria involve responses to predictable stressors which ceases if nutrient availability increases only recently has anticipatory behavior been explicitly tested in bacteria using as cues predictable environmental changes across the life cycle Escherichia coli inhabits several ecological niches during its life cycle, from water, sediment and soil to the mammalian gastrointestinal tract (Mitchell et al., 2009). To determine whether E. coli signaling networks are capable of predictive behavior “in a fashion similar to metazoan nervous systems,” Tagkopoulos et al. (2008 1313) tested strains under conditions mimicking the transition from the outside world to the gastrointestinal tract of a mammalian host As they enter the oral cavity cells immediately experience rising temperatures up to 37° As they transition to the gut available oxygen drops precipitously to anaerobic conditions If the homeostatic (sense-respond) framework is correct coli should not repress respiration until a drop in oxygen is detected if enteric bacteria are capable of dynamic predictive behavior rising temperatures should induce respiratory repression In the mammalian GI tract E. coli is exposed to nutrient sugars in a sequence: first lactose, then maltose. Mitchell et al. (2009) confirmed that in the presence of lactose transcription of the pathways for metabolizing maltose begins before maltose is detected Exposure to maltose does not induce lactose utilization in evolutionary experiments with a conditioning regime in which maltose does not follow lactose coli loses the ability to predict the ecologically important sequence physiology is still modified for its metabolism in the evolved strains is “the asymmetrical cross talk between the two pathways” (p.221) The third set of predictive experiments tested responses to QS in three species of proteobacteria with radically different lifestyles: Burkholderia glumae, a rice pathogen; Burkholderia pseudomallei, a human pathogen; and Burkholderia thailandensis, non-pathogenic saprophyte (Goo et al., 2012) QS signaling is an indicator of increasing cell density but could also predict the limits of population carrying capacity QS induced physiological preparation for stationary phase survival of which requires the alteration of global metabolic processes QS mutants showed “massive and rapid population crashes,” which began shortly after commencement of the stationary phase The cause of the population crash proved to be ammonia-related alkaline toxicity due to amino acid catabolism associated with stationary phase Based on these and other findings, Freddolino and Tavazoie (2012) assert that the homeostatic paradigm can no longer sustain an appropriate understanding of cellular behavior whereas a ‘predictive-dynamic framework’ is more explanatory in my view) that regulatory networks in microbes and neural networks in metazoans have essentially the same function and that microbiologists are now moving into behavioral territory previously occupied by animals with nervous systems Whether these also share mechanisms with similar design principles remains to be seen How successful these proposals will prove remains to be seen Object sensing. James Shapiro described as “the greatest paper nobody has read.”∗ Dworkin’s (1983) report of the directed movement of M xanthus swarms toward three-dimensional objects in multiple experiments The swarms moved toward biologically salient objects (a clump of prey cells) but also toward chemically inert objects (sterilized glass beads) It would be interesting to see whether previously uncharacterized photoreceptors are involved Given the critical importance of bistability to cognition in more complex animals what light can bistable regulatory networks in bacteria throw on the phenomenon Endogenous activity. One of the greatest recent challenges to the classical computational view of cognition has been the discovery of endogenous, often oscillatory activity in the brain independent of external stimuli (Bechtel, 2012) Can oscillatory activity in regulatory circuits governing prokaryotic behavior tell us anything about the processes involved in endogenous brain activity The cluster of chemoreceptors that governs motility (and other behaviors?) in E coli provides a relatively tractable model for understanding how signals from multiple sources can be integrated into a behavioral response but still presents a monumental challenge about how combinations of external stimuli of differing valence are integrated with interoceptive cues into a coherent behavioral response hardly any information exists on the power spectrum (i.e intensity and frequency) of signals to which any microorganism in any natural environment is exposed Well-characterized stress responses in prokaryotes particularly those in which multiple behavioral options exist provide potentially productive platforms for investigation Memory and learning. Bacterial memory is yet to be properly investigated, and the mechanisms by which it occurs definitively characterized in different species. The possibility of associative learning in prokaryotes also remains terra incognita. M. xanthus may prove a good candidate for such exploration, given the unusually large number of genes (97) involved in producing serine/threonine protein kinases (STPK) in this diverse predator (Goldman et al., 2006) CaMKII is an STPK capable of autophosphorylation that is involved in multiple signaling cascades involved in homeostasis in animals and also is thought to be important in human memory and learning It would be interesting to see if there is any sequence homology between CaMKII and any of the myxobacterial STPKs is the major mediator of the stress response in humans Is there an evolutionary relation between QS molecules and the stress-induced molecular messengers of the mammalian brain including not only hormones and neuropeptides but also immune elements such as cytokines *Shapiro made the remark in a workshop presentation attended by the author at the University of Exeter While Jacques Monod’s famous assertion that “anything…true of E. coli must also be true of an elephant” (Friedmann, 2004) is an overstatement for many reasons the Darwinian assumption that biological functions differ substantially ‘in form but not in kind’ continues to be born out in surprising ways particularly since the advent of comparative genomics Phylogenetic snobbery in the study of biological cognition is misguided and for the same reasons such a bias would be in genetics or the study of respiration: there is much to be learned about the basics of biological functions and processes in ‘simple’ systems when connections can be drawn between widely differing phyla with respect to important biological functions and processes modern biology’s tools of genetic manipulation and molecular imaging techniques that enable the study of single behaving cells represent the means by which a continuum might be established Although knowledge of ST in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes has increased spectacularly in the interim due to technological and methodological innovations interest in exploring the parallels between prokaryotic and neuronally based behavior has waned substantially since its heyday in the 1970s and 1980s The technical means available are better than they have ever been The author declares that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest The author would like to thank the editors of this special topic on microbial intelligence for the opportunity to develop these ideas; the two reviewers for comments that improved the manuscript immeasurably; the Australian Research Council (DP0880559) for funding the initial research into this topic; Jon Opie for important discussions in developing these ideas; Jeffry Stock for providing valuable feedback on an early draft that forms the basis of this article; and Richard Bradshaw without whom none of this would have been possible “Decision”-making in bacteria: chemotactic response of Escherichia coli to conflicting stimuli CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar “De Anima,” in The Basic Works of Aristotle Bench-to-bedside review: quorum sensing and the role of cell-to-cell communication during invasive bacterial infection Cognitive Biology: Dealing with Information from Bacteria to Minds doi: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199608485.001.0001 CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Signal transduction: networks and integrated circuits in bacterial cognition Valence is a basic building block of emotional life CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Representations and cognitive explanations: assessing the dynamicist’s challenge in cognitive science CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar Understanding endogenously active mechanisms: a scientific and philosophical challenge CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar “Cognitive biology: surprising model organisms for cognitive science,” in Proceedings of the 36th Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society: Cognitive Science Society Google Scholar “The life of cognitive science,” in A Companion to Cognitive Science Graham (Malden: Blackwell Publishers Ltd.)

Like the USA, they have a history with crazy presidents. Every year there’s a media circus called le Tour de France a cycling race with amazing vistas of castles you might as well pass by Belgium and taste some of our beer Roma would play in the UEFA Cup (remember the defeat vs Middlesbrough good times) so when I watched some CL games I shifted my attention to other interesting teams the French flag combo white-red-blue was perfect—it's a shame about the Renault logo though Anyway, Lyon was already the best of the best in France, winning La Ligue 1 four consecutive times since 2002. But from time to time they also excelled in Europe. In 2005, they topped a CL group that included Real Madrid and Olympakios with a massive 16 (!) points They beat the crap out of PSV in the next round (5-0 aggregate) and they were on the verge of the semi-final if not for two late goals in AC Milan from Inzaghi and Shevchenko In other words: Lyon was a powerhouse in Europe The season before they also won their group and reached the quarter-finals Who can forget the masterclass vs Werder Bremen Also narrowly eliminated by PSV on penalties then In 2006 Lyon comfortably won La Ligue 1 for a fifth consecutive time A huge gap between them and challenger Bordeaux PSG didn’t even end in the top 6 back then Olympique would go on to win a sixth and seventh title in a row with Bordeaux ending their reign in 2009 who featured in this Lyon 2005-2006 team exactly Well not midfielder Essien or forwards Frau and Nilmar Lyon did have a tonload of French talent in its team: Wiltord Compare it with Italy’s NT and Juventus’ supremacy in Serie A But there were also stars on the squad who didn’t speak French free-kick specialist and the closest thing to Francesco Totti since God who created the universe back in.. Lyon’s midfield was out of this world and had more than enough firepower Prodigies Benzema and Ben Arfa were on the bench There was also one familiar face: Norwegian oak John Carew who played a couple of games for AS Roma two years before A not-so-successful spell—he did better at Lyon The other striker upfront was Brazilian Fred agile forward who curiously never joined a second top European side in his career Gregory Coupet was both Lyon and France’s top goalkeeper he and Mexes would have been a great pair of 70s disco singers The backs were all French: the afforementioned Clerc and Reveillère at RB After their record run in La Ligue, Lyon has gone quite AWOL, to be honest. They haven’t won a single title since 2008 but did finish second on three occasions. They won one French cup and Supercup, that’s all. Their best result was not so long ago, just last year, in fact, when they played the semi-final in a COVID-19 special edition of the Champions League. They beat both Juventus and Manchester City in the knockouts Today there’s still some pretty decent talent at Lyon: Aouar and Cherki continue the fine history of Brazilian and French talents in the southeast of France while Depay and Ekambi can terrorize every defense in Europe there’s your obligatory Belgian guy on the team as well isn’t that good old Rudi Garcia leading the troops nowadays that Lyon team mid-2000s remains really special and unique Even though Roma didn’t hang out with Europe’s best that year South Lyon East girls soccer coach Pete Stoyanovich was 8 minutes into reviewing the film from Thursday's Division 2 regional championship when a sudden realization hit him.  the state semifinal was right in our backyard," the fifth-year coach said "That's two years in a row now where we've missed playing at Northville and that would've been a terrific crowd for us It would've been a real home-field atmosphere."  the Cougars lost to Dearborn Divine Child in a shootout in the regional final It was the Falcons advancing to play in the final four at Northville just a short jaunt from East's campus.  they lost to seventh-ranked Haslett in penalty kicks Haslett will be playing at Northville in Tuesday's state semifinal which is aiming for its fifth-straight state title earns them a berth in the state championship next weekend at Michigan State University.  "It's just a tough loss for the kids," Stoyanovich said How Haslett beat East won't be something the Cougars (16-4) easily forget.  snatching a 2-0 lead after Jessica Boulard and Reganne Koskela both scored within the opening 9 minutes.  And then Cleveland State signee Emma Pompo put one in 10 minutes later.  the 10th-ranked Cougars grabbed a quick 4-0 lead and looked poised to cruise to their first regional championship in program history.  Except a series of unfortunate events unfolded.  More: Emma Pompo qualifies for track state finals while leading South Lyon East girls soccer Haslett's attack pushed for one final opportunity before halftime Ireland Jacob scored with just 9.4 seconds left.  Drenching East's hopes of putting away Haslett and holding on for the easy victory.  "Conceding a goal with 9 seconds left before half really changed the perception of the game and that gave them (Haslett) some momentum," Stoyanovich said Haslett scored three more unanswered goals to force overtime.  Kate Mazur gave the Cougars a one-goal lead in the first extra frame but Haslett's Maddie Fant knotted the score at 5 with just 5 minutes left in overtime.  "Our girls were just running out of gas in the second overtime," Stoyanovich said.  And then the two squads went to the penalty kicks shootout.  Last year's loss to Divine Child was a literal nightmare for the Cougars, who finally made things right a week ago when Koskela's penalty kick pushed East past Pinckney More: South Lyon East girls soccer exorcises PKs nightmare with district final win at Pinckney But this match ended more like the Divine Child game than the one at Pinckney.  Jacob's walk-off shot clinched the victory for the Vikings.  even tougher than the loss we suffered last year in the regional final against Divine Child," Stoyanovich said It went our way against Pinckney last Friday "You can't take anything away from Haslett but the game was one we kind of gave away."  you can't take away what this East squad accomplished More: Scary on offense? South Lyon East girls soccer looked far from it in regional semis win The Cougars won the Lakes Valley Conference for the first time.  They repeated as district champions.  despite having to overcome a heartbreaking loss to Divine Child a year ago They say farewell to several key contributors in seniors Sasha Stoyanovich But they're expected to return a ton of talent next spring including the likes of key players Kaylie Samluk and you can't take that away from us," Stoyanovich said I'm not sure the game would've turned out the way it had We gave them a couple of great chances in front of our keeper because it got sloppy with the rain Just reaching the regional final in back-to-back years is an accomplishment from where the program was when the girls got started and where they've taken the program since.  "We've just got to get over that (regional final) hump."  Brandon Folsom covers high school sports in metro Detroit for Hometown Life. Follow him on Twitter @folsombrandonj.  —

have a bachelor of science in urban & regional planning from Michigan State University Occupation:  I currently serve as the Community Development director for White Lake Township Government experience:  I have worked in local government for 25 years including the last 21 at White Lake Township I served on the Lyon Township Planning Commission from 2006-13 and have served as a Lyon Township trustee since 2013 Education: Bachelor of science in political science and a bachelor of science in finance and economics with a minor in business from Lake Superior State University Occupation: Business intelligence & data analytics Government experience: I was elected to my current position as a Lyon Township trustee in 2020 I also represent the township in several capacities including the Board of Directors of the Lyon Area Chamber of Commerce the alternate delegate to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments and the joint committee overseeing the development of the new library and park site Prior to my election I served on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Education: Bachelor of science in astronomy and physics from University of Michigan but have served on both public and private boards of directors What are your top three priorities if elected BladesThe first priority is maintaining an exceptional level of public safety Our current board has invested in our fire department and our partners in the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office by approving requests for increased staffing and purchasing necessary equipment The second priority is responsibly managing our community’s growth This can be accomplished by encouraging design flexibility and working with developers to secure significant community benefits The third priority is fiscal responsibility to maintain our Township’s low taxes while creating a community our residents can be proud to call home O'NeilMaintaining a high level of public safety We have excellent public safety departments and their staffing and capabilities must keep pace with our growing community.Ensuring that our community grows responsibly and in a manner that is consistent with our Land Use Master Plan and within the limits of our utility and road infrastructure.Maintaining fiscal responsibility and efficiency is paramount Lyon Township has operated on lean budgets for many years and continuing the current Board's efforts to efficiently govern is critical SwainResponsible development and infrastructure improvements are two of my top priorities but I’ll focus on three others here since those are covered in separate questions What kind of developments should Lyon Township welcome or discourage and why EnlowAs a contributor to the 2012 Township Master Plan developments that adhere to the master plan should be welcomed in the township developments that are underserved in the township and affordable or variable housing options should be welcomed.Projects with neighboring communities like the traffic signal and sidewalk crossing at Marjorie Ann.Developments that place a burden on our sanitary sewer system or negatively impact our natural features should be discouraged I will continue to vote against these developments.MitkovskiI don't think we should discourage much today Our current price point is more than many families can afford Having homes built for seniors and young couples just starting their home ownership journey as well as let people have the option to live in Lyon their whole lives if they choose All development must be done responsibly and in a manner that's consistent with our Land Use Master Plan like we've seen on the Grand River corridor I would encourage lower density residential development we've seen several new projects where this was achieved It's no secret that Lyon Township has become increasingly more popular with home buyers We must balance our rural roots with the push for new development Balancing the semi-rural character many of us love with the reality of development rights is challenging but we pushed back on the more extreme proposals and secured benefits like traffic safety contributions and retaining a cherished orchard We should strive for a healthy mix of housing types with varying price points Our industrial corridor generates tax revenue while being located to minimize negative impacts but if they meet the ordinance there is very little the township can do Denying the proposal risks a court ordering something less desirable SlisherDevelopments should be limited to original zoning and developers should not be granted variances to put in more compact neighborhoods The township should greatly limit the use of tax abatements in order to be able to support infrastructure growth caused by commercial development Our residents deserve the highest level of quality in developments that come to Lyon we should encourage partnerships with developers so they contribute to our infrastructure needs While we cannot prevent property owners their right to develop the Board expects neighborhoods that will provide useable open space and contribute substantial townshipwide benefits We should encourage design flexibility and various housing types to support residents’ preferences we should support senior living options for our families who would like to have their aging relatives nearby With our growth I think it's important to evaluate and find a location for an additional fire station when fires are concerned seconds and minutes could be the difference between saving people and property and losing them water and sewers would help set the township up for more sustainable growth I would continue to work with the board to improve and expand our public utility systems (water and sewer) which serve our residents at the highest levels our board has invested more than $16 million dollars in improvements to our water system bringing on line new iron filtration and system-wide water softening facilities Improvements like these must continue to be made we have spent millions of dollars on road improvement projects (paving and resurfacing) partnering with the Oakland County Road Commission as well as obtaining state and federal grant funds and construction of a new library with a future park enhances quality of life Investments in police and fire services lower your risk and insurance rates We require developers to pave roads and seek further improvements townships don’t own roads; the county has the final word Completing the New Hudson ring road should ease congestion Pledging matching funds moves our projects (like new traffic lights) up the priority list We advocate for more from the road commission and I encourage you to join us in doing so The township should devote tax revenue from increased property taxes to support infrastructure improvements to sidewalks water systems and to what extent they can to roads They should no longer grant tax abatements to commercial developments without a plan on how to fund expanded lanes for area roads to accommodate the increased traffic The township should prioritize maintaining and protecting green spaces to help preserve the original rural nature of the township this board has worked cohesively and proactively to bring upgraded water and sewer systems and the completion of several pathway segments We must continue to work with the Road Commission to secure funding for paving projects and signalization at priority locations but maintaining positive relationships with the Road Commission for Oakland County and neighboring communities has helped Lyon complete projects that will alleviate increasing traffic issues It is important to continue our work to add safe crossings and pathways for walking and biking throughout Lyon Contact reporter Susan Bromley at sbromley@hometownlife.com or 517-281-2412 a nervous wreck heading into the Division 1 softball state final.  South Lyon head coach Dan Depaulis said that’s common for his freshman pitcher saying that she wakes up between 5 and 6 a.m.before big games to go to her basement and pitch around cinder blocks.  But the nervousness did not come from Allen Park a team that South Lyon lost to early in the 2021 season Bradshaw was comfortable in her and her teammates’ abilities on the softball field the weight of the work put in to get to this moment.  “There’s part of you that’s nervous and then there’s a part of you that knows you’ve done what it takes,” Bradshaw said but I was nervous because I care so much about the game.  From the moment Bradshaw threw her first pitch against the Jaguars — leading to a line drive that easily landed in the freshman pitcher’s glove for the first out of the game — she knew it was theirs to lose marking their territory and putting their stake in the trophy on the line.  Not even a rain delay could halt that momentum as South Lyon (29-6-2) beat Allen Park (31-11) for the team’s first state title in school history.  Leaving the circle after a scoreless first In the freshman pitcher’s first at bat in the bottom of the first with sophomore third baseman Grace Walters at second pumping her fists and clapping her hands when she got to the second-base bag knowing she soon could do what she loved: pitch with a lead.  “It completely swung the momentum in our favor,” Bradshaw said We could go out there and shut them down.”  South Lyon held that momentum heading into the third inning taking a two-run lead with an RBI single by junior Julia Duncan in the first But a rain delay led to the Lions questioning how much staying power the momentum had.  Depaulis told his team to erase the first two innings from memory “I think it calmed the nerves a little because we were all a little nervous sitting down and all that,” senior Riley Boulier said “The five-inning game really cut off some of the worryness and (let us) fire back.”  After stranding two runners on first and second in the fourth with back-to-back strikeouts of Mia and Molly Hool the freshman hit Allen Park sophomore Faith Peschke in the head with a fastball and walked the next batter on four pitches securing the last out on a fly ball to centerfield to continue the shutout.  while allowing three hits and one walk.  clearing the bases with a double in the bottom of the sixth The senior finished the game with two hits and two RBI More: 'We made history:' Marian soccer brings home fourth-straight D2 title, beats Spring Lake More: Detroit Country Day soccer shuts down Boyne City, wins first D3 state title since 2004 More: 2021 Michigan high school softball playoff scoreboard “I think I have been in shock for a while to be honest,” Boulier said I’m so happy I got to do this before I leave high school.”  Depaulis had been an underdog before.  When he was a senior at University of Detroit Jesuit in 2001 he helped an unranked Cubs team to a state title reveling in the idea that no one believed in his team.  “We really had a chip on our shoulder,” Depaulis said We didn’t really talk about it… we couldn’t control what the rankings were but we felt they weren’t really respecting us.”  with 12 of its 15 players set to come back for the 2022 season The expectation doesn’t scare Bradshaw It may make her nervous when those big moments arrive but it doesn’t mean she isn’t confident.  She’s always about setting and exceeding high expectations.  “There’s never going to be a limit,” Bradshaw said “I’m proud of myself and proud of this team there’s nobody that can stop us.” Contact reporter Colin Gay at

Germany's RheinMainAdler were overpowered by a superior Olympique Lyon side at the Groupama Stadium on Thursday evening.  Toppmöller actually defied both versions of his projected lineup, positioning Tuta as a sweeper ahead of a back-three of Arthur Theate Niels Nkounkou and Ansgar Knauff served as wingbacks alongside the midfield tandem of German internationals Mahmoud Dahoud and Mario Götze Hugo Ekitiké and Fares Chaibi worked together in a two striker set.  The German guests found themselves lucky not fall behind early when former Bayern man Corentin Tolisso struck the post in the 7th Former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette then produced the next chance in the 11th shooting wide only to the fact that Collins flustered him with close marking Frankfurt didn't necessarily begin the match terribly despite the disadvantage in chances.  It was such that, when Ansgar Knauff scored the opener in the 19th, it didn't feel undeserved. An excellent through-ball from Götze and delicately placed cross set Knauff up. The finish off the volley was also worth seeing. Lyon nevertheless quickly struck back via a player heavily linked with a Bundesliga move this summer. Rayan Cerki skills tipped in a Tolisso distance effort to equalize in the 27th Toppomöller's side had great difficulty coping with the fast-paced attacks of their hosts for the duration of the opening 45 Only the post saved SGE keeper Kevin Trapp - once again looking shaky - in the 36th the first-half ended without Lyon scoring another goal.  Toppmöller attempted to shore up his weak left flank by introducing Rasmus Kristensen for Nkounkou at the half The Germans appeared more alert for about all of five minutes Cherki tore through the SGE ranks on a counter in the 50th Cherki then registered an assist on the 3-1 In complete confirmation that Toppmöller's personnel management wasn't working Ernest Nuamah totally toasted substitute Kristensen on the third goal Toppmöller reacted by introducing Marmoush and Can Uzun in the 64th The two substitutes would eventually combine to pull a goal back five minutes from time Marmoush's poached 85th-minute 2-3 would still come too little The seven-plus minutes of injury time featured several hard fouls and a series of bookings from Andris Treimanis Matters culminated in Toppmöller himself losing control of his emotions and being thrown off the pitch on a straight red.   Following reports that Olympique Lyon had rejected a €22.5 million bid from Borussia Dortmund for Rayan Cherki Olympique Lyon owner John Textor reiterates that Cherki is not going anywhere and criticizes Dortmund for their handling of the negotiations "Dortmund's offer was communicated disrespectfully was well below market value and came at the wrong time He will remain an important part of our squad until the end of the 2024/25 season," Textor is quoted as saying "We have rejected Borussia Dortmund's offer and have no intention of negotiating with them or any other club."

exposure to PFAS increases the risk of developing testicular cancer tenfold 37 residents of the "chemical valley" (including 16 children) and 10 associations and unions have decided to take legal

discharges into the Rhône "We have chosen a fast-track application to stop Arkema discharging PFAS into the Rhône as quickly as possible and to measure the extent of the contamination by taking new samples at the polluter's expense," explained Camille Panisset general secretary of the Lyon branch of Notre Affaire à Tous which filed an initial application a year ago estimates that "more than

Garden City (8-6 regional semifinal win) with Barry Patterson finishing his final year as head coach there it was like passing the torch and I can do some of the same special things he did at Garden City.” Patterson guided Garden City to the Division 1 state championship in 2008 then to state semifinal appearances in 2010 earning more than 800 career wins in a coaching career that started in 1987

Do it on our Instagram using the hashtag #lyonsecret this intrepid Operations Manager left the familiar Colmore Business District to embark on a trip to Lyon.  This famous French city shares a deep connection with Birmingham it’s not a city I know much about.  Assuming you’re like me Lyon is the third largest city in France.  It sits where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet just north west of the Alps and about a two hour train journey from Paris.  The city itself has a population of just over half a million people it is the capital of the Métropole de Lyon which is home to almost 2.3 million people.  The city itself is famous for many things.  It was the capital of the Gauls during the Roman Empire.  It had an infamous silk industry biotech and video game development.  It also lays claim to being the birthplace of cinema with the Lumière Brothers pioneering this new art form back in 1895.  and the reason I was drawn to visit is Food!  Gastronomy!  And if you’ve met me you’ll know that food and drink occupy a lot of my thinking time!  It is home to two of France’s key wine making regions – Beaujolais and Cote du Rhône.  The city has long claimed to be the world capital of food boasting an array of 3 Michelin star chefs (that’s three stars each!).  Lyonnaise cuisine has been the favoured food of the French elite is still renowned both locally and nationally.  in one of the earliest city twinnings.  Birmingham’s food scene is going through something of its own renaissance.  No 3 star chefs yet but we have five Michelin stars in our city; the most outside of London.  Our mixologists and sommeliers are winning national and international acclaim.  Our street food scene is absolutely banging brewers and suburban neighbourhoods bursting with independent talent.  So when Lyon reached out to Colmore BID to meet and talk about how we could improve our city’s ties I was out of the door first thing for a meeting at the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie de Lyon (CIGL).  I was late to my meeting with Pam as the building is an absolute maze but I felt better about getting a little lost as she told me the history of the location.  This rabbit warren on the banks of the Rhône was Lyon’s oldest and longest serving hospital ran by nuns for over 1000 years.  Untold numbers of Lyonnais were born nursed and died in the building.  However it eventually fell out of use.  After a huge effort from the city which involved a multi-million Euro investment from the private and public sector the building has been sensitively redeveloped and brought back into use with the Intercontinental Hotel serving as the jewel in the crown.  If you are in Lyon especially if you need a spot of lunch out of the heat The CIGL is based within the complex.  It opened just before the pandemic.  The business model focused on high end food however this didn’t work out.  It struggled to regain momentum post COVID and the Métropole de Lyon stepped in.  A team of three now work on the project who gave Pam and I a personal guided tour.  The CIGL is a museum on Gastronomy.  It hosts a range of visiting exhibitions as well as a series of permanent pieces that represent the food culture of Lyon.  In the main hall sits The Piano; the grill plate and workplace of Paul Bocuse the culinary heavyweight of the city.  He died in 2018 but his legacy and the pride the city feels for this famous son is palpable.  hosting expos and celebrations of other food cultures.  Visit in the right week and you could find a whole series of events celebrating the food of Japan or Barcelona.  Every Thursday with chefs from across the city coming in to talk to members of the public about their food After looking around and having a really fruitful discussion about how our two cities could work together I had some spare time.  I asked Pam if there was anywhere in the city I had to go.  “Are you interested in food?” She asked.  I tried to play it cool but I don’t think it worked.  She was kind enough to point me in the direction of Les Halles de Paul Bocuse A short walk later (I might have been walking at top speed!) I found myself outside.  I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this.  I was told that this is where top chefs go to source produce.  The butchers the fromagiers were described as artists.  So presented with a building that looked a bit like an M&S food in a train station my heart dropped a little.  Did Lyon just have good food banter I’m pleased to report I was wrong.  Yes but the produce was phenomenal.  As I walked up and down the rows of stalls all fresh and clearly high quality.  There was a range of pre-cooked meals that you could have bought.  They looked fantastic.  Got a sweet tooth?  The chocolate and patisserie looked stunning.  And nestled between all of this was a network of small bars and restaurants.  If I was to return to Lyon not a hotel room and eat some of the best ready meals I’ve ever seen!  Outside was a street art tribute to Paul himself.  I’m sure he’d be proud of this oasis of gastronomy.  The second key reason I found myself in Lyon was to meet with the organisers of their Street Food Festival.  My contact there wasn’t free on Thursday (a meeting on the first night of a food festival?  We’ve run enough of those to know that’s a bad idea!) but she said to come down anyway.  I met up with Nicola Fleet Milne.  We went in grabbed bao for dinner and then took a gentle walk back to the hotel.  The festival seemed nice enough.  Some cool touches.  Again I think it’s fair to say we underestimated quite how seriously Lyon takes food… I was on a mission to look at Lyon’s public realm.  Our signature event but one of our other key work streams is about improving the public realm in the District.  How did Lyon measure up?  I took a stroll around two parts of the city.  I started in the equivalent of the retail core and the tracked back towards Les Halles de Paul Bocuse which is located in the city’s central business and administration district.  The city of Lyon and the Métropole de Lyon have both recently undergone elections and the Green Party have won control of both.  This gives a real focus to the work done by the city and region’s administration.  In terms of food and this is reflected in the work that CIGL does.  However it is also reflected in the infrastructure.  Measures are being taken to actively reduce cars in what is a centre that is still car dominated.  is really good.  The busses and Metro systems run frequently.  I was able to get a 48 hour pass for €12 making it easy to get around.  There was also plenty of cycle lanes to encourage more sustainable movement and loads of hire bikes.  Electric scooters were present but not in great numbers.  According to Roland the public transport in Lyon is exceptional at all times I think Lyon is as you would expect.  The retail core is full of European style public squares and main roads more exciting streets.  One of the things that stood out to me was how many parklets there were.  So many parking spaces had been given up for outdoor seating to support hospitality.  It was fantastic to see and I hope Birmingham can start to unlock more spaces for this purpose.  There were back streets that just came to life with activity due to spill out space but also main roads that were animated by seating.   The central business district is much more austere.  I’d prefer Colmore Business District over Lyon’s equivalent; Lyon was a lot of concrete both the business district and much of the suburbs had a good division of road space.  There was lots of green corridors for bikes and pedestrians and green tramlines too.  This helps to reduce the impact of vehicle pollution along these arterial routes and provides a nice environment for those not in the car.  I’d got my steps in.  Time for Lyon Street Food Festival round two a company founded by two chefs.  One lived in Thailand the other in California.  When they returned home to Lyon they were surprised to see that Street Food a culinary staple of their temporary homes wasn’t part of Lyon’s dining experience.   The Festival is the culmination of years of working to build an interest in street food in the city Berenger met Nicola and I to give us a tour given we’d done a self-guided tour the day before.  Again The area we visited (about the size of Victoria Square) was just one section.  In the central hall was more food the main bars and the Wine District.  The festival also had an entire section dedicated to sweet food a cocktail garden and a beer hall.   120 chefs show off their skills every year from Thursday to Sunday.  Each chef creates a unique dish.  Like the Colmore Food Festival the size of dishes is limited so that you can eat your way around the festival with dishes costing between €4-6.  Entrance costs €10 which also gets you access to over 40 free workshops.  All you have to do is book at the registration desk an hour before your workshop starts.  The range of food was incredible.  There were 2 Michelin star chefs creating alongside chefs from Tucson Arizona (guests for this year) and some of the best up and coming chefs from Lyon.  Berenger gave us three recommendations.  The first was a 2* chef creation – oyster on a bed of potato cabbage and a local sausage.  The salty shelled oyster cut perfectly across the creamy potato base.  Second was another 2* chef.  This Japanese chef fused flavours of Japan with the buchon style.  His light salad of rabbit basted in hot oil and topped with pickled mooli was perfect on a hot summer’s day.  We finished with my dish of the day.  An eclair made with peanut infused pastry filled with chocolate cream and topped with a block of handmade chocolate.  My inner 8 year old was delighted.  As I walked back to my hotel on this balmy summer’s evening I reflected on everything I had learned.  The opportunity to share knowledge and challenges with others had been really invaluable.  I’d been inspired by some of what I’d seen.  Other things had acted as a comfort – we’re doing well.  Most importantly could work with our twin to do some exciting stuff.  I don’t mean any disservice to Birmingham when I say I think Lyon is a step or two ahead of us.  Food has been their focal point for centuries.  But I think what we’re doing stands up well to this titan of gastronomy and there is a desire to work together to help us develop further and for this youngster to teach the old dog a few tricks.     I hope some of the ideas I thought about can become a reality.  This is what BIDs do.  We  collaborate we work to create things in addition to what is already there and we help to bring disparate groups together to deliver success for our businesses.  Lyon is I think we’re pretty close.  I have faith we can build on this closeness I highly recommend eating your way around Lyon some time.  I spent a lot of time looking at things I wanted to eat – I didn’t even scratch the surface.  And if you can be in town mid June make sure the Lyon Street Food Festival is on your to do list.  And who knows maybe we’ll have something similar closer to home in the near future.  This website uses cookies to improve your experience Gregory_DUBUS/iStock unreleased/Getty Images Jan-Otto/iStock unreleased/Getty Images Pole de Commerces et de Loisirs Confluence AdvertisementHow was your experience today Australia's best free military news site Share the post "Messages from the families of lost MRH-90 aircrew" The following are officially released statements from the families of the aircrew lost in the MRH-90 crash in the Whitsundays on Friday 28 July 2023 Joseph Wayne Laycock and Dr Dianne Laycock Currently you have JavaScript disabled.
