The French municipal council also called for an "explanation" of the reasons that led Tuchów to adopt the resolution and for the decision to be revoked "We cannot accept that the ties that unite our two cities through an oath of twinning should be tainted." has deplored the decision by their sister town saying that many in her community do not support the declaration by local councillors Marszalek also suggested the decision was part of an election campaign She expressed regret that severing ties will cut friendly relations among residents as Tuchow will no longer be able to sponsor visits by people from Saint-Jean-de-Braye But the decision has been widely praised by members of the LGBT community in both France and Poland from the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats suggested that the decision highlights a lack of awareness across Europe for LGBT rights in Poland "The mayor of the French commune knew that the Polish government was propagating homophobia but he did not expect the city to pass this resolution." "What else must happen for us to wake up?" 80 municipalities in Poland declared themselves free of LGBTI ideology pledging to refrain from encouraging tolerance of gay people It followed the election campaign of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party ahead of parliamentary elections in October The conservative party says they are trying to protect children and traditional families from being corrupted by a growing gay rights movement the European Parliament voted by a majority a text urging the Polish authorities to revoke the declarations LGBT activists in Poland have told Euronews that they "do not feel safe" in their own country Essential digital access to quality FT journalism on any device Complete digital access to quality FT journalism with expert analysis from industry leaders Complete digital access to quality analysis and expert insights complemented with our award-winning Weekend Print edition Terms & Conditions apply Discover all the plans currently available in your country See why over a million readers pay to read the Financial Times Audrey Lam of Belgium triumphed over France's Eugenie Varet in a playoff to claim the title Both golfers finished with a total score of 7-over 295 leading to a decisive playoff.The championship featured 144 amateur golfers from eleven countries View full results for Belgian International Amateur Home  |  Tournaments  |  Courses  |  Equipment  |  Players  |  Rankings  |  About Us  |  Contact Olympic Membership - Free Live Stream Sports & Original Series - join now! 🥇 he's been munching his way through the various disciplines that have shaped his character and cultivated his passion for sport Lucas Mazur was just three years old when he suffered a stroke An emergency operation and long weeks in hospital not without consequences for the body of the native of Saint-Jean-de-Braye in the Loiret region The after-effects were to remain with his body and his right ankle was unable to develop as it should But it won't be prohibitive for the son of a former member of the French table tennis team and a former top-level basketball champion and little Lucas is also inspired by two older rugby brothers following in the footsteps of Toulouse Football Club in Haute-Garonne and the teenager went on to found a supporters' club for US Colomiers in the suburbs of the Occitanie prefecture when he entered seventh grade - the presumed age of reason - that he discovered badminton playing with friends who were not disabled when he conquered his first continental Para badminton crown a bronze medal in mixed doubles completed his initial collection he brought home three gold medals from the European Championships in Beek Then three more at the next edition (2018) If the Covid epidemic prevents major events from being held Lucas will resume his good habits at the European Games in Rotterdam in 2023 the 2016 "Handisport Player of the Year" has taken on a whole new dimension collecting the finest metals on every international stage World champion three times as an individual he was crowned in 2021 with the Olympic title in Tokyo An unprecedented conquest enhanced by a silver medal with his loyal mixed doubles partner for almost a decade now A metal he could well see himself turning to gold this summer at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games on his new Indian rival Suhas Lalinakere Yathiraj who knocked him off his world pedestal in February in Pattaya to multiply the strengths of our cador of the discipline despite his ten daily specific training sessions between Chambly (Oise) and Bordeaux (Gironde) Another form of preparation and a way of clearing his head for the interested party A truly insatiable and hyperactive athlete You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed “We have a responsibility as R&D to create the future of cosmetics,” he says And with “more than 3,000 ingredients in our portfolio,” the team is a tour de force To commemorate the new formulation, Dior commissioned French painter and sculptor Aristide Najean to produce hand-blown glass pieces at his Murano studio in Venice. Its delicate construction is sized to house La Crème, but there are only five in existence. Beyond the collectible piece, the refillable gold and glass lineup that houses the magical elixir is like a bottle of fine wine: the restorative and reverse aging properties of L’Or de Vie help skin get better with age. “We have been negotiating the project with the Korean group for several months. While the acquisition is official since the beginning of the year, we have already carried out some renovation work on the factory, notably on the illumination and flooring,” said Jean-Dominique Bosq, director of operations at Parfums Christian Dior, speaking to French newspaper La République du Centre.

This meeting and conviviality place, which can accommodate up to 1,300 place settings, is situated in the heart of a wooded site where can be found the largest perfume production plant of the Christian Dior brand. The volume and layout of the project are designed in response to major issues of the existing site: © Sergio GraziaOne of the objectives of the project is to free up as much ground as possible to make it a pleasant central planted space. The extensive coverage of the building underlines the fluidity brought by the project to the site, and the diagonal “fold” expresses the strong link between the ground floor and the first floor. Outside, this cover extends and protects from the sun, allowing you to enjoy the shade of the terrace for lunch.

a sunscreen emulsion. Right, materials used by researchers at Hélios The 18,000 sq m Hélios R&D centre designed by architects Arte Charpentier and opened in 2013 brings together all of LVMH's research teams Dior affords Wallpaper* an insider's tour of its high-tech travails at LVMH's Hélios centre in France's Cosmetic Valley some 350 researchers work on different stages of R&D Laboratories line each side of the triangle their windows offering views of atrium and forest Mauvais-Jarvis takes us to see one devoted to skincare formulation where a counter is set with glass jars containing dried flower buds He points out an extract of Rose de Granville a seventh-generation hybrid descended from a wild rose that grows on the cliffs of Normandy bravely resisting salt air and ocean winds Hélios’ researchers have isolated eight unique molecules from the hardy rose as active ingredients for Dior Prestige’s new Micro-Huile de Rose Advanced Serum a scientist in a white lab coat is using a contraption resembling a kitchen mixer to whip up a smooth white emulsion for a sunscreen the contents of the lab are strictly off-limits to visitors including creams lined up on the windowsill to see how they react to the natural light of a hypothetical customer’s bathroom If Hélios is wary of outsiders seeing its secrets it is because the stakes are extremely high France dominates the global cosmetics industry controlling nearly one-quarter of market share A major reason for this preeminence is its investment in R&D—according to a 2019 report by the consultancy Asterès the French cosmetics industry spends two percent of annual turnover on innovation this investment rises to three percent.  When asked what sets Hélios apart from other research centres in Cosmetic Valley ‘Our R&D covers a spectrum of disciplines integrated in a single building biologists and other experts all work side by side specializing in more than 20 scientific fields One example of this range is Dior’s work in the past few years with a neuroscientist from the University of Tours testing how changes in the skin affect our perception of a person’s age Their research found that our brain determines the apparent age of another person in less than 100 milliseconds based on visible signals of health in the skin, such as tone ‘The impact of these signs on apparent age can be even greater than that of wrinkles,’ Mauvais-Jarvis says teaching the computer to evaluate age in the same way the human brain does and measuring the relationship between visible indicators of health and perceived youthfulness escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox A laboratory at Hélios analyses the flowers and has developed its own customised methods for extracting individual molecules which Mauvais-Jarvis says represent 60-80 percent of Dior’s active ingredients ‘We cultivate particular flowers in a specific way harvest them at a specific time and use our own extraction techniques to develop something that is very high quality and difficult to copy.’ It was after screening nearly 1,700 flower ingredients for their ability to reboot tired stem cells that ethnobotanists selected four particularly vigorous varieties for a new formulation of Dior’s Capture Totale C.E.L.L Energy anti-age cream and serum: Madagascan Longoza (which can even grow on burnt land) The entire new Capture Totale range contains as sustainability has become a key subject for Dior A laboratory at Hélios is dedicated to making its formulas as natural as possible and removing any suspect or non-biodegradable ingredients as well—plastic bottles are being replaced with glass outside packaging is made with recyclable FSC cardboard and packaging volume has decreased by as much as 30 percent ‘You can have the cleanest formulas in the world but with dirty packaging they are useless.’He underlines that it has been a Herculean task to reformulate Dior’s existing products and recipes while maintaining their performance and sensoriality—the same scent He compares the challenge to ‘making a meringue without eggs.” And yet it is vital to get it right: “You use a skincare product for a long time people will stop using it after a week.’ Science has taken skincare and makeup a long way since ancient Egyptians wore eyeliner made with lead and Renaissance Italians used mercury sulfite as blush ‘There is a reason people have used cosmetics for millennia,’ says Mauvais-Jarvis we began to understand how and why it worked.’ Approximately 250 researchers today, nearly 300 in a near future, 1,200 new product formulas developed each year and a portfolio of 200 patents: LVMH Recherche is spearheading the development of the French luxury giant in the field of perfumes
