Pesticide widespread in blood of French Indies adults: Study
Eight in 10 adults in the French West Indies have a toxic pesticide in their blood decades after banana growers stopped using it, a study said Wednesday.

Het was een heerlijke week niks doen in Frankrijk. Beetje in de tuin, een muur in de slaapmaker van drie lagen behang ontdaan, gladdig gemaakt (blijft een oud huis met vele wonden) met Muurglad.

Straks even naar Nederland mijn liefjes ophalen, morgen terug naar Frankrijk. Zonder die twee is het wel een beetje stil hier. Leve de rust, de natuur en de vogels.

Wallpaper at Fraunces Tavern Museum in NYC depicting General Washington arriving in Boston. The full 49-foot, 32-panel, 360-color "Views of the American War of Independence" is still produced by Zuber & Cie (est. 1797) in Rixheim, France, using 2,300 (!) wood blocks carved between 1834 and 1852. It takes a full year to print and is likely the world's most expensive wallpaper ($100,000?). The blocks themselves are classified as Historic Monuments by the French Ministry of Culture. #france #history #art #nyc #newyork #museum #wallpaper #woodblock #boston #war #independence #250th
