saw someone posting these super cool terrariums uncredited, so i looked up the artist!

(text from tropicalbonsai.id on facebook)

“japanese flower artist azuma makoto presents his latest installation, a 19th-century terrarium reimagined for the modern era. makoto, whose previous works include launching a bonsai tree into space, preserves the traditional potted plant this time around, inside a futuristic-looking ecosphere.

‘paludarium TACHIKO’ is the fourth in a series created by azuma makato that reimagines the paludarium, a type of enclosure similar to a terrarium or aquarium. it functions as an ecosystem inside a container, simulating the conditions needed to preserve organisms such as plants or insects. their main purpose is for either aesthetic, scientific or horticultural purposes.

paludarium’s became popular in the 19th century with the invention of the wardian case, a sealable glass container used to export native british plants to sydney in australia and vice versa. using this as a starting point, makoto created the TACHIKO to mimic weather conditions using a drip-feed water system and a mist machine in order to regulate temperature and humidity.

people placed a precious plant shipped from colonies inside a glass-walled container, and appreciated its growing cycles inside their home far away from the plant’s own home,’ explains makoto. ‘the series of ‘paludarium’ is a result of new interpretation of paludarium, which is now equipped with various functions and transformed into a contemporary encapsulated environmental system.’

glass walls permit natural light from all sides and built-in fans recreate wind. there’s even waterproof speakers so that music can be played inside. meanwhile, details of the plant can be observed through an original flower loupe that hangs on the front of the paludarium as it transitions through a condensed ecological cycle.”

Top 10 Most Affordable Places To Live In Canada Check now Canada stands out as an ideal choice for individuals aspiring to migrate, Canada is famous for being one of the safest places to reside. It has consistently been a beloved destination for those seeking a secure environment, a high quality of life, and a commitment to clean air. The advantages of moving to Canada become evident quickly.

The country’s diverse geography and vibrant urban centers contribute to its attraction as an appealing destination for newcomers looking for a new beginning. Quebec, a French-speaking province, boasts six exceptional cities, while New Brunswick has four cities recognized as the best places in Canada.

With its outstanding quality of life, stunning natural landscapes, and celebrated multiculturalism, Canada is secured its position among the world’s top nations.

Similar to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), Canada’s Medicare system provides essential healthcare services to everyone based on their needs rather than their financial capacity. The funding for this system comes from Canadian citizens contributing through taxes, ensuring universal accessibility. This relieves a serious burden for the majority of hardworking Canadians and is particularly encouraging for British immigrants accustomed to the advantages of a publicly funded health service.

Canada boasts a diverse climate, ranging from permafrost in the North to milder temperatures in the South. During summer, certain regions can experience temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius. While autumn is brief, it displays a spectacular display of vibrant colors that becomes an eagerly expected annual event.

While winters in Canada can be chilly, the country effectively manages the cold weather. For those seeking milder winters, British Columbia is a good destination. Vancouver and Victoria, are the warmest cities in Canada, maintain average winter daily highs of 7.1 degrees Celsius and 9 degrees Celsius, respectively, rarely dropping below zero.

The top 10 affordable places in Canada and the average cost of living are listed below.

City Average Cost Of living

ThetFord Mines, Quebe $3,496/month

Edmunston, New Brunswick $3,471/month

Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec $3,567/month

Tracadie, New Brunswick $2,925/month

Provincial Nominee Programs

Individuals who wish to immigrate to a specific province or territory in Canada can obtain Canadian permanent residence through Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Immigrants can submit their permanent residency (PR) applications online through the Express Entry system. finally, their profiles undergo ranking against one another using a points-based system known as the full Ranking System (CRS). Applicants with the highest CRS scores are then issued an invitation to apply (ITA). Those receiving an ITA must promptly apply within 90 days and fulfill the required processing fees.

The PNP functions as a program where Canadian provinces extend invitations to applicants for Canadian PR based on their specific labor market needs. The eligibility criteria and selection process for the PNP vary from province to province or habitat, with some aiming to address specific job vacancies or sectors.

Loona is a kwami of Transformation. She is connected to the Wolf Miraculous. With her power, Loona's wearer can use the necklace to transform into a wolf-themed superhero.

Loona and her Miraculous are currently active and owned by Brianna Lockwood, who uses it to transform into the superheroine, Loup Gris.

Personality:

Loona is very loyal to her Miraculous Holders and cares very much about them. Loona is also loyal to Master Fu, the current Guardian of the Miraculous and the one who gave Brianna the Wolf Miraculous. She is calm, sweet, serious and friendly kwami. However, she can be a little mischievous and likes to tease her Holders sometimes. Just like with her past Holders, Loona cares about Brianna and is always willing to help her when she needs it. Sometimes she can be flirty, but only when it comes with Plagg since he flirts with her.

Trivia:

• Loona's name means "moon" in Spanish. However, Loona's name is also translated to "moon" in Romanian.

• Just as Brianna likes to be called Brie and Wolfie; Loona likes to be called Loonie.

• Loona is ticklish, shown when Brianna poked her when they first met.

• Even though Loona's favorite food is strawberries, she's not very picky and is fine with any food. However, similar to wolves, Loona cannot eat chocolate of any kind, or else she would get sick.

• Loona is based on wolves, who are known for guardianship, ritual, loyalty, and spirit, so she is very loyal to her friends, her past owners and Brianna since she cares about them very much.

• She is the second and oldest kwami, having formed when the universe came to be, the first and oldest is Tikki which means the two are long time best friends.

• The Wolf Miraculous was once in the Native American Miracle Box, but after the incident in Tibet, one of the guardians was able to get the miraculous of the wolf to Wang Fu and he kept it hidden until he gave it to Brianna Lockwood, who now became the new holder. It is unknown what type of jewelry it was original looked like, but for now, the wolf miraculous is a necklace.

Can I be honest, there are so many e/i cartoons around the world that are marketed to preschoolers but appeals to an adult audience, that I kind of had the idea of getting them together for a party video game similar to mario party, and they’d include:

Pororo from China

Mini Loup/Mini Wolf from France

Peppa Pig from the United Kingdom

Bluey from Australia

Bingo also from Australia

Arthur from the United States

I don’t know how it would work, but I just seen these kind of shows so much in recent years, that it just gives me the thought of it

is that weird?

Sequins, songs, kids... dance! This is what saved SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR’s sanity during lockdown

‘I think I’m doing this for me.’ But for now, we need to head back to her house, where Sonny has appeared, and Mickey is delighted to see his mum. Plates are waiting to be spun, and as I let myself out, Jesse is putting on a show in the kitchen, with Sophie as the audience, sitting under the disco ball. ....and her wonderfully joyous discos filmed in the family kitchen helped lift the nation’s spirits too. She tells Hattie Crisell why Friday nights round at hers became so precious

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-8549299/Sequins-songs-kids-dance-saved-SOPHIE-ELLIS-BEXTORs-sanity-lockdown.html

Sophie Ellis-Bextor opens the door to me with a toddler in her arms – smiley 18-month-old Mickey – and her four-year-old son Jesse behind her, his hair a deep shade of copper. ‘You have the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen,’ I tell him, genuinely quite dazzled, and he replies bashfully, ‘Well, I’ve just had it cut.’

Welcome to Sophie’s world: a large and glittering house in West London, packed to the rafters with kitsch, toys, cats and boys. I don’t know how many cats are around, but the boys number five: Mickey, Jesse, eight-year-old Ray, 11-year-old Kit and 16-year-old Sonny. Managing the lot are the singer, her husband Richard Jones (bass guitar player with The Feeling and the supergroup Loup GarouX), and a nanny, who joins them Monday to Friday during the working day. ‘I used to have a nanny who was with us all the time, and to be honest I felt like it was too much,’ says Sophie. ‘It’s fine if it’s my thing that I think about 24 hours a day, but I think it’s healthy for other people to have their own life away from it all. It’s five kids – it’s a lot.’

It certainly is, and it’s hard to imagine how demanding it must have been during lockdown, when the only one missing was the nanny. The public got a glimpse of this when Sophie performed a weekly series of ‘kitchen discos’, broadcasting them live via Instagram, her husband filming on his phone. They launched these shows during the bleakest part of the pandemic, and the good will that emanated from them was enormously cheering. She would appear in a sequined jumpsuit or rainbow-striped dress, a pair of platforms at the end of her mile-long legs, and would serenade the camera while children wandered casually in and out of view. Sometimes her teenage son would jump in to rescue the baby from a trailing wire, or one of the boys would need a cuddle, and their mother would pull them in close, keeping her other hand on the mic.

It was charming chaos. The music encompassed hits from Sophie’s back catalogue such as ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ and ‘Take Me Home’ – or ‘Stay at Home’, as she rechristened it – but also crowd-pleasing covers and theatrical numbers from shows such as Grease. For the audience, it offered uplifting relief from the frightening reality of the time: climbing death rates and isolation. It was comfort music, I say. ‘Exactly,’ she agrees. ‘And disco’s always had that for me anyway. It’s so euphoric and joyful, and it’s complex. In disco you can have the most painful, heartbreaking scenarios, but they’re in among something that makes you want to put your hands in the air and sing along. I think music can allow you the space to feel joy and anxiety at once.’

I am delighted to find that one end of their large kitchen still looks very much as it did, with the disco ball and a half-deflated helium balloon in place over the sofa. She confirms that it’s more or less always like this, perhaps minus the tinsel curtain. Colour and fun are everywhere in the house, from the framed retro artworks filling every wall, to the pinball machine in pride of place. At the other end of the kitchen, a diner-style menu-board for the kids bears the words, ‘Be polite or no service.’

Leaving the children with the nanny, Sophie and I head out to chat on a bench in the park. She’s wearing an embroidered navy dress and a red fluffy cardigan, with red lipstick that has mostly worn off; at 41, she’s truly beautiful, with very pale green eyes. Despite what we’ve seen from her on Instagram, it hasn’t been an easy time. For one thing, there was the fall from her bike in June that left her in hospital with a gory head wound. When I mention it, though, she brushes it off with, ‘I cannot dine out on that any more.’ Then she adds, ‘I mean, I don’t recommend cycling off a towpath – it did hurt.’

‘I knew that this was something that was happening in millions of households. I do worry about all my parents – I say “all” because I’ve got step-parents as well – but I think really it was focused on John, because he’s so vulnerable. It’s such a weird, torturous thing isn’t it for human beings, if you say that hanging out with someone you love is the one thing that might actually endanger them? How can you wrap your head around that?’

She hasn’t been thrilled with the government messaging around the virus. ‘“Stay at home” is clear and concise and all ages get it. “Stay alert”? I hardly ever feel alert. I don’t feel alert now.

And we’ve all shown we’re good at following guidelines that make sense, but you can’t keep bending it for people. Look at the effect when the rules were made flexible.’ She seems to be referring obliquely to the Dominic Cummings/Barnard Castle debacle. ‘We all thought, “Oh well, if we could have been going off and having day trips all this time, why was I staying at home and not seeing my mum, who lives ten minutes away?” I found that really tough.’

The kitchen discos were as much for her and the family as they were for the audience. ‘It was Richard’s idea. One day we were making plans and doing stuff, and the next day it was like, boomph, everything shut down. Suddenly we were just home all the time, all work cancelled, all the festivals… I was supposed to be going to Australia, New Zealand, I had gigs all round Europe. And Richard was, like, “Well, why don’t we do a gig here, and it gives us something to do and a bit of fun?” I think we missed everybody.’

Performing during that time, even via Instagram, gave her a huge sense of connection, she says. ‘I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t had that, and I don’t know how it would have been for our family, because it became really precious.’ She’s now planning a Kitchen Disco Tour next May (there will also be an album, out this October), and hopes it will offer audiences a cathartic experience. ‘I want to provide a place where people can get lost in the moment. I want them to walk out of there and go, “Oh my goodness, I didn’t know how much I needed that.”’

It was no surprise to her boys to see her dressed up and performing; Mickey sleeps in the room where she keeps her fantastic stage wardrobe, and they’ve all been with her to festivals, gigs and recording studios. It was clear from their low-key presence in the kitchen discos (she left it up to them whether they wanted to be there or not) that they’re not fazed by it. ‘The older I’ve got, the more the me at home and the me on stage is the same person anyway,’ she says. Her first solo album came out almost 20 years ago; this one will be her eighth.

She’s also just celebrated her 15th wedding anniversary with Richard. Theirs was a whirlwind romance that stuck: ‘I found out I was having a baby after only about six weeks,’ she says with a smile. ‘We’d known each other for a while – he’d been in my band – but we’d literally just started dating and I hadn’t even really told anybody.’ Sonny was born two months prematurely, thus arriving only eight months after they’d got together.

And they’ve now got him almost to adulthood, I say. ‘Yeah, and he’s lovely; he’s his own person. You know, parenthood is so much more reactive than I ever thought,’ she says. ‘I thought it was all about what you put in. It’s not. I realised it the day I had him: I looked at this tiny baby and I thought, “Oh my goodness, you’re Sonny, and now I’ve got to help you show me who you are and what you need from me.”’

To raise five children while continually working is no mean feat, and she mentions that there were tense moments during lockdown. But she and Richard clearly make a good team. ‘I guess the thing that’s often not celebrated as much in long-term relationships – and I think this goes for family members, friends, all sorts of relationships where there’s love – is that we actually really like each other,’ she says. ‘I really like who Richard is, and I respect him and I like spending time with him.’

She took an extended break after Sonny came along, following a difficult birth. ‘But to be honest, the more babies I’ve had and the older I’ve got, the more confident I’ve become about what I can do around being pregnant and having kids,’ she says. ‘I’ve been better with the last couple at just keeping going with the work either side of it. I have a job where I can basically call the shots a bit. I’m very lucky with that and I totally exploit it. Also I like it if I do a big gig and I’m six months pregnant – I feel quite clever,’ she laughs.

The challenges of this complicated life have inspired Sophie’s new project – the podcast Spinning Plates, on which she chats to other working mums, including Caitlin Moran, Fearne Cotton, the mummy blogger Candice Brathwaite, and her own mother Janet. ‘I’ve got such a brilliant array of women, and honestly it feels like a privilege to sit there for an hour and ask them loads of nosy stuff,’ she says. ‘Obviously the springboard is the idea of the working mother, but actually what really unites us is we’re all women, and there are so many things about being a modern woman… It’s a rich pot of stuff to go through, really.’

She loved having the chance to interview her mum. ‘In my head she’s always been this real trailblazer and very confident. She never seemed to have any guilt with any of her work, and I’m glad, because it gave me a good role model of “It’s OK for me to be selfish enough to have my work and keep it separate if I want to, and do the things I want to do.” I don’t think I would have been confident enough if I hadn’t had a mum like that; I’ve struggled a bit to give myself permission sometimes even with that.’

Another chat, with Yvonne Telford, founder of the fashion brand Kemi Telford, made her realise that at times she’s too self-critical. ‘She said she hates it when she hears women say, “Oh, I’m such an idiot,” and I was, like, “God, I do that all the time.” Even with the podcast, when I first started writing to people I wanted as guests, I’d say, “Don’t worry, I know how it goes – you’re probably too busy to reply.” Then I was, like, what am I doing? I’m saying to them, “Ignore me!”’ She bursts out laughing. It sounds as though making the podcast might be rather empowering. ‘Yes,’ she agrees.
