Urban Beekeeping in Paris
While their country cousins' populations collapse, bees in Paris are thriving as having a rooftop hive becomes de rigueur for hotels and restaurants seeking an in-house source of home-grown artisanal honey. According to the BBC, the urban bees are healthier and more productive than ones in rural France and they seem to like the City of Light for the same reason many people do: lots of good food."City people like flowers. We have parks, we have balconies, we have roadside verges, we have gardens -- and we are planting them all year round with lots of different species to ensure year-round colour,"

Michael Naranjo - Blind Artist
Michael Naranjo (b. 1944) (Santa Clara Pueblo) was blinded in Vietnam by a grenade in 1968. He also sustained injuries to his right hand that made it practically useless. Recuperating from these injuries in Japan, he requested some water based clay and began making some small figures. Through the rest of his recuperation and learning to live alone, he continued working with the clay. He honed his intuition to the point where he can assess through touch alone whether his pieces have movement, composition, balance, and flow. His style is relatively simple - he uses his fingernails to etch the detail in his sculptures. Tools are impractical since Naranjo can't see what the end of the tool is doing.
