Turci accomplishes this with a significant culinary director "I met Pier Giorgio Parini several years ago and together we have embarked on various unique culinary projects in both Italy and Spain He supports me with his extensive expertise and together we've created a great synergy in crafting something different from the norm people had a fixed idea of the classic Riviera style But those who knew me were also asking for what they had enjoyed in Formentera offering a pan of rice to someone from Romagna we are very satisfied and have built a strong following especially among the younger crowd who understand and are willing to try different things." Quimérico is a charming venue that offers a range of services: it functions as a breakfast spot it houses the beautiful rooms of the bed & breakfast Lu which are modern and well-equipped bathrooms The common gastronomic thread in this little universe is its dedication to sustainability a concept championed by one of the great Italian innovators even before sustainability became a widely used term known for his time at Povero Diavolo in Torriana has always emphasized the importance of high-quality ingredients and foundational cooking principles reflecting his approach to cuisine that doesn't rely on exclusive elements but rather on exceptional quality across concepts and ingredients "I first met Gianpaolo through mutual friends when I started helping out at Benso in Forlì starting with the idea of creating a kind of mixed cuisine blending Italian and Spanish influences with some Spanish dishes Italianized and Italian dishes with a Spanish twist At the core is the fact that we have a lot of work and buy very high-quality which is quite uncommon for a beachside bath and a bustling restaurant on the promenade but we have a great team of very talented guys and then there's me—I'm like the tree you stop under if you need to catch your breath and refuel Parini emphasizes that Quimérico should not be seen as solely his restaurant because and the 100 covers per service that we handle on weekends must proceed in the same way I cannot leave the fate of the business in the hands of someone who might wake up one morning and jeopardize everything without a justifiable reason." This statement underscores the collaborative ethos at Quimérico highlighting the importance of teamwork and shared responsibility in maintaining the restaurant's success Parini further elaborates on the ethos at Quimérico He criticizes the common desire among chefs to have their signature on the menu labeling it as an outdated way to think about running a restaurant today He recounts hearing about restaurants that manage only a few tables and customers deeming such an approach unsustainable because it can only be executed under very specific conditions such as having the restaurant bear one's name and being very small scale With a team of 60-70 employees at full capacity Parini emphasizes the necessity of having a motivated workforce that is well-treated and stimulated to always give their best He points out the practical needs of the business such as paying salaries and maintaining the structure underlining his satisfaction with being able to delegate and not always be present The cuisine at Quimérico might not have the same complexity as what Pier Giorgio was known for at Torriana but it certainly maintains a medium-high level: "It's definitely different from everything else around here; it has guts and substance We use top-notch products and assemble them correctly aiming to pique people's curiosity." With a bit of imagination and vision—and fortunately Gianpaolo has plenty—there's room to do very well and maintain a healthy business and products that ensure consistent quality are essential there's a significant use of watercress and microgreens from Koppert Cress to maintain high standards in their offerings they are essential," reflects Parini on the use of high-quality ingredients at Quimérico I would have said mixing them is like combining oil and water I couldn't maintain the same level without a precise standard and coding system We need to ensure that the dishes are consistently the same both in appearance and taste." He notes that while the visual appeal of the dishes is significant it's their distinctive taste that truly matters Parini emphasizes the need to use these ingredients thoughtfully and not just for aesthetic appeal He also points out the financial implications: "Many don't consider it but the costs add up: we use 25 quintals of cuttlefish in a season We are the only place by the sea that makes a seafood salad with only fresh cuttlefish but now our customers really notice the difference." Se ci mettiamo due foglie di nasturzio per dargli il piccante e moltiplichiamo Stessa cosa quando usiamo i crescioni che integriamo costantemente nel nostro meccanismo: non mi potrei permettere di andare a raccoglierli non c’è il tempo e non sarebbe sostenibile Abbiamo comunque persone che ci danno una mano e l’80 % delle verdure che usiamo sono coltivate lì vicino da una ragazza che ha un orto biologico.” Among the most original dishes is the marinated mackerel with Emerald algae oil a stunning blue fish known for its rich flavor and health benefits Also noteworthy is their unique take on paella here called "riso al quadrato," which uses Floregano and Blinq Blossom for a distinctive touch "It took us an entire winter to decide whether to make it or not and that we should make it even better than what is eaten in Spain: we created our own version of paella with our fish had special black iron pans made to cook it in a specific way they have systematically and determinedly raised the average standard of dining that is often taken for granted along the waterfronts of famous locations with a level of service that rivals much more renowned establishments supported by the cohesion of a highly skilled team Pier Giorgio Parini summarizes their philosophy: "We do simple things creating value that comes from careful thought When someone tries our cuttlefish and then experiences it elsewhere as bland and rubbery Our approach is more than just cooking; it's about creating culture Prepare the Mackerel: Clean and fillet the mackerel Generously cover the fillets with coarse salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to cure Cook the Beetroot: Peel and thinly slice the beetroot Blend the cooked beetroot while still warm with grapeseed oil then cool the mixture down and store it in the fridge Prepare the Emerald Algae Oil: Mix grapeseed oil with Emerald algae powder and warm it to 60 degrees Celsius in a blender like a Thermomix Blend for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse Assemble the Dish: Remove the mackerel from the fridge Final Plating: Dress the raw beet slices and plum segments with the algae oil and add the dressed beet and plum slices around Finish with a generous drizzle of the algae oil and garnish with Citra Leaves and a sprinkle of algae powder begin by sautéing the cuttlefish ragù with Carnaroli rice in a square pan allowing the rice to lightly toast and absorb the flavors of the ragù Gradually add the seasoned fish broth to the pan allowing them to cook with the rice and infuse their flavors add whole raw prawns for extra texture and richness Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and return to the heat for a brief period to crisp the bottom of the rice garnish the completed dish with Floregano and Blinq Blossom flowers This preparation method ensures a rich blend of seafood flavors complemented by aromatic herbs presented in a visually appealing way with a satisfying crispy texture Quimérico Cervia Koppert Cress Do you

barefoot as is the tradition Oscar Turroni moves a long rake over a pool of water separating salt from water and mud and pushing the salt into a mound in a crystallizing pond leaving a gleaming mountain of crunchy white salt that Turroni will take to a burchiella a flat-bottomed barge somewhat like a gondola that will transport it across shallow lagoons to storehouses at a salt pan in the little town of Cervia whose multi-tiered salt-harvesting system goes back to Roman The salt that Turroni and his fellow salinari harvest almost maddeningly sweet first taste on the tongue The salt’s exceptional quality and sweet taste has made it a coveted product Coupled with some long-standing papal geopolitics it has also earned it the honor of being the pope’s salt Salt has an important and complicated history in Italy—it’s been the cause and casualty of endless wars or exploited to the point of exhaustion by rivalling states and the Catholic church Whenever the Papal States took control of a region, its citizens were usually subjected to ruinous salt taxes. One of the outcomes, according to an unproven story is the unsalted bread still used in Tuscany and Perugia; as part of a popular protest against the new papal tax in 1540 these regions stopped putting salt in their bread Dante even referenced this in the Inferno: “Quanto sa di sale lo pane altrui.” But when Cervia became part of the Papal States salt of the pope,” says Letizia Magnani author of Dolce come il Sale (Sweet Like Salt) Cardinal Pietro Barbo offered a “flower of salt” to Pope Eugene IV to thank him for his appointment as bishop of Cervia When Cardinal Barbo himself became Pope Paul II in 1464 he dictated that Cervia would continue being the official supplier of salt to the Papal table (This naturally also helped ensure Cervia’s wealth.) the tradition stopped and started over the next few centuries who served in the Pontificate of John Paul II superintended the revival of the tradition in 2003 the sea and its surrounding environment shapes the flavor of salt “It’s important to know how much terroir plays into salt,” says Francine Segan it’s just salt?’’’ she says I said I’ve got to learn more about it.” Segan later went to Cervia and joined a group of salinari who come in the second week of September to celebrate the Armesa de Sel a festival celebrating the end of the salt-production season which calls for a parade of burchiella taking the salt to the stocking sites That scene had almost been relegated to history each salinaro was responsible for a specific area of the salt pans using a conveyor belt-like system and evaporation tanks to collect the salt from Cervia’s 144 salt pans While this more industrially harvested salt has all the characteristics of the salt harvested in the ancient method—sweet and transparent medium-size crystals—traditions dating back thousands of years were broken: the wood equipment and sight of families taking care of their salt pans a group of passionate salinari brought one of Cervia’s ancient salt pans back to life Today run by a volunteer group of descendants of salt pickers the Camillone salt pan uses only the traditional multi-tiered method wanted to pass on the “incredible heritage of this land and ecosystem.” It is this salt that goes in the papal gift basket—a tradition revived by Cervian dignitaries who take a basket of the first salt of the harvest to Rome and hand it to the pope in person (This papal salt is specially sifted to obtain finer grains than the typically chunkier Cervia crystals.) The officials are accompanied by pilgrims who recreate the four-century tradition of salt workers journeying on the back of mules to bring this white gold to the Vatican Cervia Salt is also essential to two of the region’s biggest culinary claims to fame Prosciutto di Parma has only two essential ingredients so Antica Pieve Prosciutto di Parma’s slightly sweet tinge owes much to Cervia Salt the 800-year-old Parmigiano Reggiano cheese made from “red cows,” is only made with Cervia Salt you can still find Cervia Salt for sale in stores around Cervia and sprinkled on menus in restaurants that range from fine-dining establishments to seaside shacks Indeed Emilia-Romagna as a region is home to “179 Michelin restaurants and every single one of them has at least one dishes that highlight Cervia Salt,” says Segan (She is referring to the number of establishments written up by the guide—not those that received Michelin stars.) Meanwhile many piadini stands around Cervia offer a wrap whose porchetta is cured with Cervia’s salt A chocolate shop offers bars made with the sweet salt of Cervia and no sugar And in the homes of Cervia’s salt workers the tile is brought to the table to cook fish or meat on in one of the town’s ancient salt warehouses on-site salinari answer questions about the salt-harvesting process and the ancient mining tools on display They just won’t tell you the pope’s favorite salty snacks We depend on ad revenue to craft and curate stories about the world’s hidden wonders Consider supporting our work by becoming a member for as little as $5 a month Follow us on Twitter to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders Like us on Facebook to get the latest on the world's hidden wonders The following day golf and solidarity met in the competition organized by Rotary and Club Romagna which linked the event to the fundraising for Golf 4 AutismFabio Perini was the best overall with 76 shots while Marco Bellettini (36) and Massimo Natali (43) won in the two clear categories.

Bronze to Fabio Brotto (Doha delle Roane), a Venetian rider and breeder with an important international curriculum.

Furthermore, the three medalists will participate by right in the historic Csio of Rome-Piazza di Siena/Master Fratelli D'Inzeo, stage of the Rolex Series (21-25 May). "I am really happy and proud - Paolo Paini told us immediately after the event - because it is an important goal achieved in a particularly hard-fought and high-level edition of the championship. The satisfaction is even greater because my horse is Italian: I believe a lot in national breeding, in its future, and this victory confirms it. Furthermore, being selected for Piazza di Siena is always an honor, the dream of all Italian riders that comes true. This is just the beginning!".

respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) a significant proportion of individuals develop prolonged symptoms a serious condition termed post-acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome (PACS) or long COVID In a prospective multicentric cohort study of 215 individuals we study COVID-19 patients during primary infection and up to one year later We discover an immunoglobulin (Ig) signature and five symptoms during primary infection – is able to predict the risk of PACS independently of timepoint of blood sampling We validate the score in an independent cohort of 395 individuals with COVID-19 Our results highlight the benefit of measuring Igs for the early identification of patients at high risk for PACS which facilitates the study of targeted treatment and pathomechanisms of PACS This typically coincides with the recovery of most individuals with symptomatic COVID-19 As PACS is increasingly recognized as a serious consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection early identification of individuals at risk of developing PACS is needed self-reported data and telehealth are at risk for bias and risk factors associated with a severe course of primary SARS-CoV-2 infection complicate the detection of underlying risk factors for PACS independent of disease severity we have characterized a prospective cohort of 215 individuals by clinical visits and laboratory analyses up to one year of follow-up We found distinct patterns of total immunoglobulin (Ig) levels in patients with COVID-19 and integrated these in a clinical prediction score which allowed early identification of both outpatients and hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 that were at high risk for PACS Flow chart of individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19 patients; n = 175) and healthy controls (Control group; n = 40) with no history of COVID-19-related symptoms a negative SARS-CoV-2 S1-specific immunoassay and no active illness prior to blood sampling Medical history and a blood sample were obtained at the first visit (n = 175) corresponding to primary SARS-CoV-2 infection in COVID-19 patients second visit (n = 123) at about 6 months after primary infection (6-month follow-up) and third visit (n = 50) at about one year after primary infection n = 39 patients declined follow-up or were unreachable At 6-month follow-up n = 8 and at 1-year follow-up n = 12 patients only declined laboratory testing n = 134 patients were followed-up at least once including 11 patients that only attended a 1-year follow-up Healthy controls were clinically followed-up after 6 months (n = 35) and 1 year (n = 28) Data were validated in a separate validation cohort of n = 395 individuals with confirmed COVID-19 that were followed up for 6 months In patients with severe disease, laboratory values taken at primary infection showed signs of lymphopenia and systemic inflammation, including increased concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, and TNF, and some of these inflammatory markers remained perturbed at 6-month follow-up (Table 1) we observed that several determinants of severe COVID-19 and an increase of certain inflammatory markers present during primary infection correlated with an increased risk of developing PACS a and b Total serum concentrations of IgM and IgG3 in healthy controls (n = 40) versus (a) all (n = 134 at primary infection;

derivation cohort Boxplots represent median (middle line) with upper and lower quartiles (box limits) Variables were compared using a two-sided Wilcoxon’s test if not specified otherwise Compared to symptom-based prediction scores the measurement of an Ig signature allows the identification of patients at risk for developing PACS This finding suggests a possible pathomechanism distinct from merely increased inflammation and immune activation unlike inflammatory markers that only transiently increase early in the disease course This biological stability of Igs further increases their utility as biomarkers as independence of sampling timepoint facilitates clinical application and Ig signatures can be determined already before infection Limitations of our study comprise a non-excludable selection bias of patients enrolled in our study affecting the transferability of our findings to all SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR-positive patients a non-excludable selection bias of patients agreeing to follow-up despite a high follow-up rate of 77% as well as a limited number of hospitalized patients and differences in study design of the validation cohort our study included only a small number of participants of non-white ethnicity due to Central European demographics potentially affecting the transferability of our findings Early measurement of Ig titers upon hospitalization of COVID-19 patients can support clinical decision-making and personalized treatment strategies which in turn is crucial for understanding the pathomechanisms of PACS and identification of preventive measures for treatment and care Adult individuals were included in the study and visited between April 2020 and August 2021 The study was approved by the Cantonal Ethics Committee of Zurich (BASEC #2016-01440) The majority of participants were of white ethnicity Pre-existing comorbidities and COVID-19 symptoms were recorded at baseline using standardized Details regarding relevant medical history were clarified via phone by trained study personnel Patient-reported symptoms were reassessed 1 patients were asked whether they had recovered from COVID-19 or not The following five symptoms were recorded during primary infection: fever The PACS score was validated in a separate validation cohort using the same patient-centered outcome definition for PACS as in the derivation cohort The PACS score (after shrinkage) can be calculated and the logistic regression model reproduced using the following R code: PACS_score < - glm(PACS_score ~ –1 + offset(–0.981011 + 0.2616998*scale(age)+0.3307986*number of symptoms during primary infection + 1.896502*history of asthma bronchiale + 0.8429766*total IgM (g/l) + 1.3716198*total IgG3 (g/l)–1.5316550*IgM*IgG3) “number of symptoms during primary infection” ranging from zero to five and “history of asthma bronchiale” as number zero if absent and number one if present Individual risk for PACS can further be predicted using the following R code: predictions < −predict(PACS_score The number of symptoms can be determined by counting the occurrence of

This is the project – not finished yet – of the Ravenna’s Parco Marittimo which has already started to change the beaches of the former historical capital Environmentally-friendly wooden walkways, cycle and pedestrian paths, people-oriented services and a network of connections weaving together the sea to the complex ecosystem of the brackish lagoons, integral part of the Po Delta Park We highly recommend a stroll at sunset on the most fascinating walkways to fully enjoy the sound and smell of nature In recent years, Milano Marittima and Cervia have renewed their waterfront transforming it into an irresistible attraction has connected the locality to the beach and its bathing establishments This splendid promenade offers paths and wide green areas for relaxation An example of beauty, functionality, and environmental sustainability. The new waterfront of San Mauro Mare (Fc) is a promenade of approximately 700 meters It serves as a perfect connection between the tourist destination and the sea The new waterfront of Bellaria-Igea Marina dedicated to the legendary Raffaella Carrà is a tribute to her unforgettable vitality and spirit has transformed the area into a place for meeting and relaxation Like the promenade of Miami, and even better! All kidding aside, the new promenade of the city – so-called Parco del Mare (Park of the Sea) – has really changed the look of the Marina of Rimini where it is possible to relax between sun and salt but also do various kinds of sports in the open-air – everything surrounded by a unique landscape wellness and urban renovation are the main ingredients of this great project of redevelopment Everything is surrounded by green and curated areas connecting the beach to the city in the shade of fountain-trees inspired by Gianni Rodari and big R-shaped lamp posts paying homage to Romagna and Rimini Nearly 4 kilometers of pure beauty make up the new Goethe and Shakespeare promenade of Riccione (RN) exclusively reserved for pedestrians and cyclists stretching from the Marano stream to Piazzale Azzarita is a true green lung that breathes life into the dense hotel fabric facing the beach residents and tourists flock to this area to exercise and dine al fresco while enjoying the sea breeze Green flowerbeds, cycle and pedestrian paths, art installations, benches, illumination and a cable radio system: all this, and much more, is the new promenade of Misano Adriatico The renowned beach town, long known for its hospitality, its family-oriented services and the great sports appointments of the Misano World Circuit can now boast an intervention that upgrades all the area from via D’Azeglio to via Passeggiata dei Fiori Taking a stroll with the sea in front of your eyes and the sun over your head has never been so cool in Misano Cattolica also surprises us with its new waterfront which returns the traditional seaside promenade to residents and tourists transforming a space once used as a summer connection between the city and the beach into a livable area year-round This 800-meter seaside stretch connects the Tourist Port to the De Amicis Gardens spaces dedicated to gentle and electric mobility and areas for socialization and well-being the enhancement of the

the Mediterranean area a number of potentially preservable textures derive from the interactions between photosynthetic mat producers and the sedimentary substrate These morphologies occur at the beginning of the taphonomic processes when repeated emerged-submerged conditions take place In these conditions the cohesive nature of the diatom- and cyanobacterial-derived mucilage favours the stabilization of otherwise ephemeral structures Surface micromorphologies for which diatoms and cyanobacteria have played some active role when still living in the soft microlayer and down to the sediment-water interface can overcome the surface layer of most intense mixing (i.e. the taphonomically active zone) and keep traces of them in the fossil record either as body fossils or as texture contributors such as filaments and biofilm strands of halotolerant microorganisms can therefore stabilize as biosignatures when combined with salt precipitation Halophilic and halotolerant ecosystems are models for life in extreme environments (analogue sites) with similarity to those strongly suspected to occur and/or have occurred on Mars and on other planetary bodies The study of hypersaline systems such as Salina di Cervia which harbour diverse and abundant microbial life can be relevant for astrobiology since it allows the investigation of potential biosignatures and their preservation and of further understand the range of conditions and the planetary processes sustaining potentially habitable systems Salt from the Cervia salterns has been extracted since pre-Roman times (Guarnieri, Reference Guarnieri2019) these salterns represent an excellent example of the coexistence of historical heritage The high naturalistic interest of the area hosting this man-made system of ponds is evidenced by its inclusion in the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance since 1979 the Salina di Cervia has been declared a natural repopulation reserve for a number of water bird species that nest here (b) The Salina Camillone pond still preserved in its natural state as it appears in the sampled site subrounded margins (arrows) of the polygonal cracks that make up the surface of the shallow pond Note water trapped by curb-shaped margins of the polygons The objective of this study is to examine the anatomy of surficial macro- and microscopic structures determined by the interactions between cohesive microbial mats and salt precipitation and clastic sediments in a temperate The ultimate goal is to assess the bio-sedimentary origin of cm- to mm-scale morphologies and their preservation during the first steps of their formation in an intermediate environmental context between emerged and submerged conditions largely controlled by recurrent desiccation processes are the northernmost salterns of the Mediterranean and can be included within these exceptional areas recurrent desiccation and moisturizing may also offer a means of evaluating microorganisms in terms of their contribution to the formation of distinguishable micromorphologies under such stressful conditions Dunaliella salina is in turn the food for Artemia salina which is a favourite food of the flamingos and pink herons whose presence typifies the man-made shallow ponds of the Cervia salterns For the preservation of habitats and species recurrent seawater circulation is necessary; this explains the presence of euryhaline species such as the benthic foraminifer Ammonia beccarii while maintaining a necessary connection with the circulation of the open seawater reaches a maximum depth of approximately one metre and an extent of approx Sampling was conducted at its SW margin (coordinates: 44°15′15″N Most of its clayey surface (mudflat) is permanently covered by seawater the same water that feeds the salt production system If surface layers of the mudflat are removed a distinct smell of hydrogen sulphide can be detected a by-product of the anaerobic decay of organic matter Maximum flooding in the pond occurs in the autumn season (average monthly rainfall: 68 mm) and the average air temperature ranges from 22.7°C in July to 3.1°C in January (a) Effect of a strongly cohesive microbial mat: bio-sedimentary sample collected in a submerged (approx 10 cm water depth) area where the mucilaginous component (slime) gives a surface stabilization such as to favour the preservation of different superficial micro-morphologies slight polygonal cracks document previous phases of emersion (b) Close-up of a typically irregular bio-sedimentary surface composed of a mix of salt efflorescence (whitish) clayey sediment (grey) and slime-producing microbes such as diatoms (whitish) and cyanobacteria (brownish) their adhesive mucilages may both contribute to the biostabilisation of a loose substrate Whereas the samples taken in emerged parts were then investigated under the binocular microscope as they were at the time of sampling samples collected from submerged parts were first observed with a field microscope immediately after the collection and before removing the surface water they were air-dried at room temperature for further investigation The samples of living microbial mats and organo-sedimentary mixed samples were investigated through freshly dissected in points chosen ad hoc by using a scalpel in order to observe both the surface morphology and the millimetre- to micrometre-scale microstratigraphy A combination of transmitted-light and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) analyses with both backscattered-electron (BSE) and secondary electrons imaging was used For the evaluation of the surface microscopic morphologies and of the microenvironmental context with respect to the different components reflected light observations were performed by using a Wild M8 stereomicroscope and a Zeiss Axioplan binocular optical microscope equipped with a Nikon digital camera Head DS-Fi2 ESEM observations were performed on uncoated samples using an FEI Quanta 200 The elemental compositions were performed with an OXFORD-SATW light elements X-ray spectroscope (SEM-EDX) water characteristics including electrical conductivity were measured by using an XS Instruments pH 70 portable laboratory Recurrent field observations have shown that wide areas of the pond are permanently emerged whereas other areas have periodic (occasional) emersion connected with the water exchanges of the salt pan Optical microscope observations were performed in samples from both permanently submerged and emerged (occasionally or permanently) areas They enabled an evaluation of the microenvironmental context where the data collected during the ESEM investigations are framed and to make comparative observations between the active (submerged or still wet at the time of sampling) and (permanently emerged) areas Transmitted light micrograph from a sample of the soft microlayer at the sediment-water interface from submerged

bulges lumps and salt crystals are covered by diatom frustules and their biofilm remnants surfaces covered with microcrystalline salt precipitates allow to glimpse dark patches that reveal the presence of cyanobacterial bundles In some portions the salt precipitation has covered filaments and biofilm remnants that previously had contributed to trap loose sedimentary and skeletal grains smooth and thin-shelled ostracod valves and benthic foraminiferal tests (e.g. In the surficial sediments covering the Cervia pond the microbiotic components act as inter-particle binders and make up the main framework of the bio-sediment This is well detectable by ESEM analysis on wet or partially hydrated and unconsolidated bio-sediment samples that thanks to the flexible structure of the microbial component still retain their original three-dimensional architecture Abundant remnants of adhesive mucilage have also been detected in both the samples dried at room temperature after collection and in those collected in naturally dried (permanently emerged) areas they contribute to document the transition from a taphonomically active phase – in which surface microbially-controlled

Bio-sedimentary ‘packaging’ topped with a thin diatom level (arrow at the top) and where trichomes of filamentous cyanobacteria (other arrows) make up the framework Samples with normal stratigraphic orientation At Cervia these morphologies derive from sediment and microbe accumulations with finely laminated near surface textures microbial morphologies are still recognizable such as polygons and their curb-shaped margins Morphologies at the scale of those described here will likely be investigated by the analytical technologies of future Martian missions Evaporation in the Cervia pond led to the formation of curled ribbons of fibrous halite which implies emersion and/or arid conditions these morphologies lack a real preservation potential a different matter regarding preservation are the deformation structures (knobs) associated with ribbons and produced on the substrate during their extrusion Since they involve a biological component (thin layers of diatom frustules deformed in the knobs from which the salt ribbons are extruded) having a fossilization potential some preservation in the stratigraphic record might be hypothesized The top-most cm in partially stabilized siliciclastic sediments provides an example of biolaminite where a sub-millimetre-scale accretion is governed by mat-producing communities growing on sediment surfaces Some biostabilization of the sediment surface allows persistence of the accretion process and the consequent formation of a microstratigraphic record where some sediment starvation makes easier the growth of microbial slime Based on seasonal variations of the water levels in the pond shrivelled and eventually thickened their margins by differential development of microbial mats at the edges of the polygons as a consequence of repeated desiccation and moistening phases Exceptionally developed in the Cervia pond can represent palaeoclimatic indicators capable of suggesting subtle changes in water levels and dark green laminae originating from monolayered microbial mats are set on clayey substrates that may result from minimal clay deposition derived from seawater input or wind action This energy regime may have allowed the iso-oriented organization and a fluid flow-like appearance of the needle-shaped diatom frustules and cyanobacteria with the potential of leaving traces of a biological function in the

in Krakow Mitoraj left Poland and came to Paris to broaden his cultural education and enrolled at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts The great success of his first major solo exhibition organised in 1976 at the Galerie La Hune in Paris prompted him to devote himself exclusively to sculpture he was awarded the 'Prix de la sculpture de Montrouge' The then French Minister of Culture provided him with a studio in Montmartre in the Bateau Lavoir while the following year he was invited to participate in the XLII Venice Biennale the President of the Italian Republic awarded him the 'Vittorio De Sica Prize' the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento welcomed his monumental works the archaeological site opened up to contemporary art on the occasion of the 950th anniversary of the

gardens and planters that fill the town with colorful flowers thanks to the volunteer organization The nonprofit has recently won a major gardening award in Canada and was asked to plant a garden in Italy bringing the beauty of Lewes to a international level Lewes in Bloom was recently invited to create a garden in Cervia as part of the city’s annual garden festival “Cervia Città Giardino - Maggio in Fiore” (Cervia Garden City - Blooming May) The invitation to Lewes in Bloom is the first time a city outside of Europe has been asked to participate in the festival “It’s an honor,” said Warren Golde former landscape architect and horticulturalist for Baywood Greens in Millsboro Golde founded Lewes in Bloom in 2002 with seven women and $100 grants from local businesses The Cervia garden show has been running for 47 years as an “open air flower show” that runs from May through September green sculptures and other creations designed and executed by skillful outdoor architects Last year’s show included gardens created from landscape architects from Munich Hungary, as well as from cities throughout Italy More: Return Day: A unique Sussex County post-election tradition More: Check out these offseason restaurant specials along the coast Italian poet Tonino Guerra summed the event up by saying “Cervia takes you to the sea along its many gardens reminding one of towns and cities far away.” is very excited about the nonprofit receiving such a big honor Lewes in Bloom is very important to the town Their gardens and displays create a welcoming atmosphere for residents and visitors While the town budgets money for Lewes flowers every year there is no way Lewes could afford all the labor provided by the volunteers from Lewes in Bloom Each of the 20 locations in Lewes have teams that plant While the original eight members of the group carted water to flower boxes in gallon jugs the more than 240 members today have a truck with a water tank on it “We joke that if we call a workday to start at 8 a.m. we are finished by 7:30 a.m.,” said Golde “Our members show up early and work hard to complete the tasks at hand.” Their work is noticed and appreciated in Lewes “We love them,” said Jennifer Noonan children’s librarian at the Lewes Public Library.  Lewes in Bloom maintains a children’s vegetable and herb garden there and holds a story time for the children “So many volunteers give an incredible number of hours to their projects This town is very lucky to have such an organization.” The members’ enthusiasm has paid off in awards before Lewes won the national American in Bloom competition in 2002 the group also took home international honors at the Communities in Bloom Symposium held in Strathcona County In that competition Lewes won over four Canadian towns and one from Croatia More than 60 cities and organizations plant gardens for it and millions of people visit It is the largest outdoor garden event in Europe Members of Lewes in Bloom are pretty excited As soon as they get the dimensions and location of their plot which they expect to receive some time in December Lewes in Bloom designs the garden and provides any artwork Cervia will supply the plants and a place for four or five of the the Lewes in Bloom crew to stay while they install the garden Gardens are to be laid out between May 2 and May 21 Opening ceremonies are scheduled for May 23 The garden will be on display throughout the summer The biggest problem Lewes in Bloom has now is trying to figure out who is going to go “I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of dozen people go over,” said Golde Members of the fundraising committee are already working on ideas of how to raise money to send their team “I feel a deep sense of responsibility as Lewes in Bloom is not just representing Lewes; we’re representing Delaware,” said Golde More: 'Flesh-eating bacteria' case: Meet the Delaware man who survived Vibrio vulnificus
