“Fashion meets art“: those two creative fields were harmoniously united on the 3rd of July 2018
when German premium label Luisa Cerano celebrated its 20th anniversary in Berlin
that is nowadays used as a gallery (named “König Gallerie“)
That impressive place contributed to the magic flair of this unforgettable evening
incredibly interesting artworks all over and delicious buffets by Dahlmann Munich underlined the feelgood factor of this summer evening
Worth of mentioning is also the fact the guest list was a prominent one: it contained of worldwide trade partners of the label
we were more than curious to discover more about the labels’ latest trend and its story behind
Continue below to read full review of Luisa Cerano‘s 20th Anniversary event by our Berlin Contributor SUSSAN ZECK:
Being significant for the labels’ style is its creative mingling of influences of both designer and corporate labels
What makes these creations stay in mind is their contemporary approach paired with sophisticated designs
Furthermore high quality plays a central role and as a consequence
Most of the creations can be worn at any age
vibrant colours often round off these lavish looks
the collections can be bought in 50 countries on three continents and the labels’ success story continues
the chief designer of this label and her team
always surprise us with innovative ideas anew
In addition to Luisa Ceranos‘ anniversary celebration
gallerist Johann König presented the approximately 600 guests a monographic show of the photo artist Andreas Mühe who participated personally in this event
Moreover artworks of other artists were showcased
the focus of this evening was the collection “Captivating LUISA CERANO Impressions“
in which inspirations from the art scene clearly shone through
It was incredibly inspiring to witness these creative impressions
Another highlight of this cool summer night
black anniversary t- shirts that were provided with a horse motif
They were a design cooperation with Andreas Mühe
This smooth special edition “Totilias I” was only available during this evening
and can be now bought in the labels’ online shop
We left this anniversary celebration with a bunch of new inspirations and impressions
it was a pleasure to be part of this special evening

first-year UC Merced student Harrison Tom realized he had more money left on his prepaid meal plan than he could use up before the semester ended
The balance wouldn’t roll over to the next school year
He used the money to buy 100 meal vouchers and offered them up to hungry students
“Why let my money go to waste when I could help feed people who need food?” Tom said
Soon students were redeeming the meal vouchers every hour, which brought its own challenge. Vouchers at the time were printed, and the redemption process was manual, difficult to manage and not entirely secure. People on campus agreed that it made sense to donate meal plan dollars to hungry students, and CatCard and Dining Services staff collaborated to create a better process
The iCare meal program is the result of that effort
iCare is an app that allows students to donate their excess meal plan dollars to peers in need
allowing a full week of meals to be requested from a meal pool using any device
Integrated with the CatCard campus identification system
iCare provides information on trends and usage
Donors receive thank you notifications and recipients get notified of available funds and additional food resources available on campus
iCare has processed 39,560 transferred meals
This success caught the eye of the National Association of Campus Card Users (NACCU)
which honored UC Merced with the Innovative Technology Award
received the crystal award on behalf of UC Merced at the 26th annual NACCU conference
is awarded annually to an institution that has introduced a unique technology-based solution to a problem or opportunity
Cereno also presented during the conference
sharing how the app has helped the campus to address food insecurity through meal plan donations
“We have to do everything in our power to help students stay in school and on track to graduate,” Cereno said
“If emergency resources aren’t in place to provide for students’ basic needs
they might leave school for the semester – and they might never come back
making a difference is what matters most.”
Cereno and the CatCard team have been developing innovative tools and services for years
and they continue to passionately provide ID-related
technology-driven solutions to make life easier and more efficient for the campus community and industry
“This semester we added a meal plan gauge that will show and alert students when they are going to run out of meal plan money according to their average daily spending,” Cereno said
that alerts students to food left over from campus events
so needs can be met and food waste minimized.”

Swedish Grand Prix rider Nathalie Wahlund has declared for Italy
She made her debut riding for the Italian flag at the CDI Ornago on 29 September - 1 October 2023
The 26-year old Wahlund is based in Great Britain
Originally from Mälarhöjden near Stockholm
Wahlund took a gap year after graduating from high school and never returned to academia
She first worked for Swedish Mette Rosencrantz in the U.S.A.
There she was matched with John Evans' KWPN gelding Cerano Gold (by Serano Gold x Lancelot) who became her career making dressage horse
Right before Brexit Nathalie moved to Germany to ride for Warwick and Caroline McLean
before taking a job with Mandy Zimmer and then Patrik Kittel
In the spring of 2023 she returned to the U.K
and has been riding for Sarah Millis since
Wahlund and Cerano Gold represented Sweden at the 2019 European Under 25 Championships, where they were 16th in the Kur. At the 2021 Swedish Under 25 Championships she was fourth and at the 2021 European Under 25 Championships in Hagen she was 42nd in the short Grand Prix test
At the 2022 Swedish U25 Championships she landed 8th place
At the 2022 European Under 25 Championships she won team bronze
but got eliminated in the short Grand Prix
Shortly before her 26th birthday on 9 October
"I am Italian from birth as my mother is from Italy," Nathalie told Eurodressage
"I am very grateful for my years in the Swedish U25 team and were given great opportunities as I was part of the team at three European Championships."
Wahlund now hopes to continue her Grand Prix career as a senior representing Italy
"This is not a decision I’ve made over night
it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for years as I do feel a very strong connection to Italy and have spent a lot of time there during my childhood," she explained
"I’m hoping I will be able to represent Italy at the big championships in the future."
Italy has not fielded a single rider at the 2022 World Championships nor 2023 European Championships after finishing last in the team ranking at the 2021 Europeans in Hagen
The Italian Equestrian Federation has set the bar even higher for its riders this year; they now need to score at least 69% internationally instead of 66% to be even considered for a continental championship
In Ornago, Nathalie competed in the 2023 Italian Dressage Championships
in which she finished fourth in the Technical Championship and got silver in the freestyle championship

it is important to understand the historical fire regimes including the severity
seasonal timing of fires as well as the relationship between climate and fire in order to develop management plans that mimic and/or complements the natural disturbance pattern
The objectives of this study were to reconstruct the natural fire regime within a Pinus lumholtzii site in order to understand the fire regimes within this forest type as well as adjacent high timber value mixed-pine forests where historical fire regimes are not available due to past timber harvesting activities
we reconstructed the historical fire regimes in San Dimas
We found a pattern of frequent fires but an absence of fire since 1962
with most fires (98%) being recorded in the spring season
The lack of fire for over six decades within these historically frequent fire forests could result in high fuel accumulation
Such conditions in combination with increasing temperatures and aridity in the region could increase the risk of high severity wildfires that could jeopardize the sustainability of these forests and the human communities that these forests support
Given the close proximity of these forest types
the lack of barriers to fire spread between forest types and similarity in species traits
it is resealable to assume that these forests shared similar historical fire regimes particularly fire frequencies and seasonality
lumholtzii forests is the only source of information available for understanding the role of fire within these forested landscapes as a whole
Understanding the role of fire and if/how fire regimes have changed is important information that allows forest and fire managers to develop plans that sustain these ecologically and commercially valuable forests into the future
Given the importance of fire and the consequences of altered fire intervals
it is critical to determine not only if fire regimes changed but when those changes occurred
in order to evaluate forest structure changes and develop sustainable management plans moving forward
(1) determine the natural fire regimes (severity
lumholtzii site in the Sierra Madre Occidental of northern Mexico
(2) determine if (and when) these natural fire regimes changed in the last century
(3) determine the role of climate patterns in dictating fire occurrence
Given the consequences of fire frequency changes within similar dry forests in the western U.S.
including potential-type conversion and non-sustainable forests
it is clear that understanding fire regimes and their changes is a critical need in developing sustainable forest plans particularly in the face of climate change
Study site location in the northern Mexico (A) and within the state of Durango (B)
Location on 40 fire scarred trees collected within the 50-ha study site at Río de Miravalles (C)
Field photos of a live Pinus lumholtzii tree growing in rocky soils (A)
Fire-scarred samples were collected from a combination of down logs (B) and standing live tree (C)
Example of fire-scar sample that has been collected
and cross-dated using dendrochronological techniques
with this particular individual having 11 fire-scar dates (D)
Once dated, position of each fire-scar within the growth ring was determined based on the methodology proposed by Baisan and Swetnam (1990), using the following categories: EE (beginning of earlywood), ME (middle of earlywood), LE (end of earlywood), L (latewood), and D (dormancy or ring limit). The different categories were grouped into two periods 1) spring (D + EE) and 2) summer (ME + LE + L) (Grissino-Mayer, 2001)
The two variables were calculated during the fire year as well as 5 years before and 2 years after the fire year
To evaluate the statistical significance of the SEA analysis
confidence intervals (95%) were calculated using the bootstrapped distribution of the climatic data with 1,000 replicates
Fire history timeline in a Pinus lumholtzii forest site in Rio Miravalles
(A) Percentage of recording fire scarred trees (blue line) and percent of trees that recorded a fire by year
(B) Individual fire-scarred tree timeline represented by horizontal lines in blue and vertical black dashes representing fire-scars recorded by that tree
Year when 10% or more trees recorded a fire are displayed along the bottom of the graph
The orange highlighted area indicates more extensive fire years
The green-highlighted area shows a period without extensive fires and a change in fire frequency after 1962
Our results suggest the most fires within these forests were of relatively low severity. This is based on the fact that we were able to reconstruct the fire regime using individual trees that had multiple fire scars (Figure 3B). In general, based on the fire intervals, fires appear to be frequent in the P. lumholtzii forest, generally occurring at intervals between 3 and 20 years. Based on all fire scarred years, we found a MFI and WMPI of 3 years (Table 1)
More extensive fires that scarred ≥25% of the samples occurred at intervals of less than 10 years (MFI and WMPI of 8.0 and 7.2 years
The average fire interval based on individual trees was 16.0 years
Historical fire interval statistics for a Pinus lumholtzii forest
Figure 4. Spring-winter precipitation and NIÑO 3 SST condition in relation to fire frequencies within a Pinus lumholtzii sire in the Sierra Madre Occidental of northern Mexico. Tree-ring recorded fire years are identified by red stars and occur mainly during year with low precipitation (A) (Chávez-Gándara et al., 2017) and negative NIÑO 3 SST (B) (Cook, 2000)
based on tree ring reconstructed of climate variables
Fire frequency is measured using a 20-year moving average based on fire years recorded by 25% or more of the fire-scarred trees (C)
Yellow-highlighted area corresponds to a period of synchrony between drought conditions and high fire frequency and while a more recent period with no extensive fires in recent decades is highlighted in pink
Seasonality of fire scarred samples within a Pinus lumholtzii forest
The fire-climate analysis showed that over the last 2 centuries, there were 46 years with extensive fires (≥10% fire scarred samples) reconstructed in these P. lumholtzii site, which coincide with dry climatic condition indicated by below-average spring-winter precipitation (Figure 5A) and negative NIÑO 3 SST indices (Figure 5B)
however this relationship was not significant
no significant relationship was found with moisture conditions 1 or 2 years prior to these fires
Superposed Epoch analysis shows the relationship between fire occurrence and reconstructed local winter-spring precipitation variability (A) and NIÑO 3 SST indices (B)
for all fires recorded by ≥ 10% of fire-scarred samples
The year of the fire is indicated by year 0
with bars corresponding to the average climate anomaly for fire years along with climate conditions 5 years prior to the fire (negative values) and 2 years after the fire (positive values)
The upper and lower dotted lines represent the 95% confidence interval
Using a combination of dead and live trees, we were able to reconstruct the fire history the last 278 years at this P. lumholtzii site. Most of the work was conducted using samples from dead wood to minimize damaging living trees, as suggested by Baisan and Swetnam (1990)
it is corroborated that these forests are long-lived and allow us to reconstruct fire regimes over several centuries
however based on individual-tree fire intervals we found an MFI of 16 years
The gray highlighted areas indicate the spring period when most fires historically occurred
such conditions will likely contribute to an increasing risk of forest fires
Although a significant ENSO-fire relationship was not found at our study area
it is important to consider future La Niña phase events that lead to vegetation stress and can trigger greater fire risk in the forests of this region of northern Mexico
Post-fire dominance of oaks could further facilitate the transition of large areas from forests to shrublands
A decrease in forested area could jeopardize timber production and negatively affect local economies within these rural communities
when weather and fuel conditions would be more favorable to achieving objectives while keeping fires within defined containment lines
Failing to restore frequent low-severity wildfires within these dry forests will likely result in more intense fires during drought years in the future
resulting in the loss of forests and timber production as well as other ecosystem services including water
lumholtzii forests is found in small pockets usually surrounded by mixed-pine forests; therefore
it is likely that the fires recorded within these forests also burned within adjacent forests
the information provided in this study will be useful both for fire management and conservation of long-lived forests of P
lumholtzii and for fire management in adjacent forest types with high commercial value
where it is impossible to find long-lived individuals that allow us to reconstruct the history of the fire regime due to timber harvesting

Laura Kaufman rises early and packs her lunch
she stuffs it inside her Spider-Man backpack
She then boards a CATA van shortly after 8 a.m
at the East Lansing home she shares with her father
Her destination: a community mental health program for adults with disabilities
She likes bowling and coffee with friends on Mondays and shopping on Thursday mornings
But what she looks forward to the most is her job at a manufacturing workshop where she earns just over $2 an hour doing simple repetitive tasks
alongside other workers with significant disabilities
Low-paid jobs and workshops like Kaufman’s are at the heart of a heated debate that’s playing out in mid-Michigan and across the country
It’s sharply divided the disability community
Some critics call such places “sweatshops” or sheltered workshops that take advantage of vulnerable people by paying them little and segregating them
“What we’ve done with sheltered workshops over the years is that we’ve created a whole industry that’s built on the fact that we can pay people with disabilities below the minimum wage in segregated environments,” said Elmer Cerano
executive director of Michigan Protection & Advocacy Service
a nonprofit organization that advocates for people with disabilities
If workers are being paid a fraction of a wage because they are considered just 25% as productive as non-disabled workers
maybe they need to have more suitable jobs that fit their skills
“Now we want to promote real employment opportunities for real people in the real community for real wages with benefits just like everybody else," he said
Others fire back that the jobs are a choice that should be offered to workers where they have the support they need
Not everyone will be able to find a job in the community
is among those who think the advocates are going too far
will actually hurt his daughter because she will not be able to find a job in community and the workshop’s future is in question
It’s her whole life,” he said about her workshop job
“She’s so happy to work and she’s so pleased to get the paycheck
It’s the feeling that they are doing something important and valuable
He fears her days instead will be filled with coloring books and puzzles
Some advocates argue that the sheltered workshop model and the sub-minimum wages paid to workers like Kaufman have outlived their usefulness
they were a good idea at the time when those with disabilities had no other options
The programs allow a smaller or commensurate wage based on comparing it to productivity of non-disabled workers
about 7,400 Michigan workers with disabilities statewide are paid the sub-minimum wage
there were 81 employers in Michigan paying below-minimum wage
Those are mostly community groups such as public mental health and nonprofit providers
but also include a few businesses and schools
Kaufman does what is called piece work at the Transitions North workshop run by the Community Mental Health Authority of Clinton
Ingham counties near the Capital Region International Airport
Transitions North employs 125 people with disabilities; 100 of them earn less than minimum wage
The 29-year-old Transitions North is the last in mid-Michigan to pay less than minimum wage after Peckham Industries
a Lansing-based nonprofit rehabilitation organization
decided last year to pay all its workers at least that much
Read more: Peckham ends sub-minimum pay
The trend away from the sub-minimum wage jobs is driven by a national movement and the exposure of some horrific abuses
At a now-closed turkey processing plant in Atalissa
32 men with disabilities were paid as little as 41 cents per hour and lived in squalid conditions for decades
A judge said they were virtually enslaved and a jury awarded them $240 million in damages in 2013
has called for an end to sub-minimum wage jobs
through health and job training dollars sent to the states
require that federal funds directed at people with disabilities be spent in housing
job training and employment in integrated settings
States are crafting their own plans to follow those mandates
Michigan and other states have a March 2019 deadline to transition to more integrated settings to continue Medicaid dollars that are used on day programs such as Transitions North
Cerano’s organization and others want to see public dollars used to develop jobs in the community for those with disabilities
for a worker with a disability while removing that task from other employees’ workloads
Adaptive technology can also help workers with disabilities
States such as Vermont and Maine decided to close their workshops years ago
while lawsuits have been the driver of change in others
Read more: Mixed reports from other states when workshops closed
It's not clear what will happen in Michigan
“There’s a huge amount of uncertainty and anxiety both in the provider community and among individuals and their families,” said Todd Culver
an association representing nonprofit and public mental health organizations that serve workers with disabilities across the state
Michigan spent far more on facility-based work
than integrated employment — $48 million versus $27 million
Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy
And only 30% of those with disabilities were employed compared with 75% of the nondisabled working age population in Michigan
Rick Snyder administration for “Employment First.” That term describes the national movement to integrate people with disabilities in mainstream workplaces
Calley said he sees a role for facility-based workshops and
but with safeguards in place that ensure workers are offered opportunities to first work in regular workplaces
Calley signed an executive order calling for “Employment First” policies to get more jobs for those with disabilities in the community or integrated settings
public policy director for The Arc Michigan
which advocates for people with developmental disabilities
called Michigan’s version of Employment First “weak.”
Michigan has instead a governor’s edict that we think is weak compared with what we see in other states,” he said
He said the administration has resisted a “one size fits all” approach
Closing facility-based workshops won’t work because “there aren’t enough places today that are successful at hiring people with disabilities” Calley said
“Many would just end up being back home playing video games in their parents’ basement
chair of the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council
a federally funded advocacy organization appointed by the governor
said in a written response to questions that the executive order was a “good start.” But
it is flawed because it allows workers to stay in programs such as Transitions North permanently
rather than use them for training and a stepping stone to a job in the community
She said such programs can still be used to help people with disabilities build skills to find jobs in the regular workplace
“There is most definitely a role for these providers in the provision of customized and supportive employment services to support persons with significant disabilities finding employment,” she said
Laura Kaufman isn’t forced to work when she’s at Transitions North
such as heading outside to sit in the sunshine
playing board games or making a snack in the kitchen
Matt Kaufman said his daughter receives about $1,000 a month in federal disability benefits
she supplemented that with earnings of $936.72 for 426 hours of work
far below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour
purchasing potato chips and CDs with her earnings
Matt Kaufman describes his daughter as a “miracle child in a lot of ways.” She was the fifth child and only daughter born to Kaufman and his late wife
Kaufman’s said his late wife was devoted to their youngest child
Laura nearly died as a teenager from leukemia in 1988
the same disease that claimed the life of Lois Kaufman in 1992
graduating from Okemos High School in 1999
as Michigan allows special education students to stay until age 26
She then briefly held a job folding sheets in a hotel basement
Other efforts to find a job in the community didn’t work out
She’s now been at Transitions North workshop for about 16 years
That type of longevity – as opposed to a stepping stone to a competitive job — draws criticism
Only a few leave for competitive employment
Six of the 125 workers at Transitions North left for a job outside the agency in the past year and two returned
Four who were successful got jobs cleaning
washing dishes and working in laundry service and at a gardening center
The two who came back couldn't do the required work in a laundry
Kaufman’s father describes her as a person with a kind heart who isn’t afraid to speak up for herself
She taught herself to use sign language to communicate with people who are deaf and she has a sharp memory for names
she wrote a fan letter to NBC’s “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay
She ended up with a trip to visit the set with a cameo appearance on the show
Kaufman went on a morning outing to a Dollar Tree store where she bought a large big bag of off-brand potato chips and a Mountain Dew soda
which she took takes to the workshop for her lunch
dill pickle chips and a baggie of vitamins to accompany a Big Mac from McDonald’s
The staff said she likes to eat in the music room
away from the noise of others at the facility
she walked slowly to the workshop to start an afternoon of work
The workshop is a warehouse-style space with exposed heating vents and a concrete floor
It’s brightly lit and has windows supplemented by fluorescent lights
Kaufman pulled a disposable hand wipe from her bag and cleaned her hands thoroughly before carefully adjusting her headphones over an MSU cap
She tuned her Walkman to a classical radio channel
she and 30 other workers with disabilities
sat on molded plastic chairs or in wheelchairs at metal tables
into a board with holes to hold the pipettes upright
the workers put them into a plastic bag with a slide top and toss them into a bin
The pipettes are used in food safety test kits
Because many of the workers can’t count – though one fellow counted loudly as he filled a plastic bag — the pegboards are a way to ensure the right number of pieces make it into the bag
Kaufman hit a metal counter with satisfaction
Contracts for work at Transitions North this year will bring in $373,000
The workshop runs on contracts it brings in but Medicaid dollars are used to pay staff who help with skill-building of the clients
Kaufman likes her job and is especially close to Pamm McDaniel
a friendly woman in a pink T-shirt and gray ponytail who runs the workshop
“She’s like a second mother to Laura,” Kaufman’s father
McDaniel steered Kaufman away from the worker who was counting
knowing that the noise would bother Kaufman -- and that she is more than willing to speak up when irritated
That’s the kind of trouble prevention that might be missing from a job in the larger community
said many workers also need help with personal hygiene and using the bathroom
“I feel like they don’t understand the level of the disability of the people that we work with,” she said
“They don’t understand the value the work holds for people.”

Review by Sussan Zeck for D’SCENE Magazine
For Swedish Under 25 rider Nathalie Wahlund
the year 2020 has been a hinge year in her budding career as a professional dressage rider
she left the UK right before Brexit and found employment at a new
The 23-year old Wahlund has been trotting the globe in pursuit of a career with horses
she started riding at the local riding school in Stockholm when she was 5 and rode through her teenage years
After graduating from high school and before picking up Law at University
she took a gap year which turned out to be life-defining
"I went to Mette Rosencrantz to work as a working student," Nathalie told Eurodressage
"I had a lovely time there and learned so much
Ever since I started riding I’ve always had big dreams of competing on a high level
but I actually never planned on a career working with horses
But after my time with Mette in Los Angeles I realised there’s nothing better then to work with your passion."
Nathalie and Cerano GoldSoon after returning home from Los Angeles in 2017
Nathalie found a new job working as an assistant trainer under the auspices of British Grand Prix rider Vicky Thompson-Winfield at her at Oldencraig equestrian centre in the U.K
Her move to Britain became a life-changing adventure and opened doors to the competitive high performance career she had dreamt of
"I had four great years working with Vicky Thompson Winfield
I was a novice rider when I came to her and she trained me up to Grand Prix in less than three years
I got to work with some fantastic horses and made lots of great memories and friends for life!"
She made her British show debut in May 2017 aboard Sir Wilhelm (by Sandro Hit x Weinberg) and campaigned a string of horses
including Oldencraig Echo O (by Zjengis Kgan x Riant)
the piebald gelding Hiawatha (by Harmony x Kings Quest)
In November 2017 John Evans' KWPN gelding Cerano Gold (by Serano Gold x Lancelot) came her way and changed everything
Wahlund and Cerano GoldCerano Gold became Nathalie's heart horse and the two gelled quickly
Their competition start was in March 2018 and four months later they had their big entry on the international stage
They made their CDI debut in Hickstead in July 2018 at Young Riders' level and half a year later tackled the Under 25 Grand Prix for the first time at the 2019 CDI Nieuw en St
Their solid scores led to a Swedish team nomination for the 2019 European Under 25 Championships in San Giovanni in Marignano
where they made it into the Kur to Music Finals to place 16th
In 2020 they competed at the CDI Lier right before the corona pandemic swept across Europe
They returned to the arena in between COVID)-19 waves to show at the CDI Grote Brogel in July 2020
"When Cerano's owner heard I was leaving England
he contacted me and asked if I would consider taking Cerano with me as he wanted our partnership to continue," said a thrilled Nathalie
"Cerano Gold is a very special horse to me and he’s got a very special place in my heart
I am forever grateful that his owner trusts me to continue to train and compete with him
Cerano and I have been a partnership since November 2017 and together we have achieved things I could only have dreamt of a few years ago."
A new chapter in LuxembourgNathalie has never owned her own horse
but Evans' act of generosity deeply touched her heart
and based herself temporarily with Warwick and Caroline McLean in Tönisvorst
before accepting a position at Mandy Zimmer's Windhof in Luxembourg
"After four years in England it was time for me to spread my wings and try something new
Also with Brexit and Covid I feel like it was the right decision to leave
although I still miss England every day," she said
"Cerano and I have spent some time in Düsseldorf training with my great friends Warwick and Carolina McLean
which was super good and Cerano developed so much in his training," said Nathalie
"The McLeans have known Mandy for many years and it’s thanks to them I got the job."
Nathalie has only been in Luxembourg for a couple of weeks
"I’m so grateful to be working with such a great and professional team," she said
