popularity of taking photos of our food and sharing them online shows no signs of abating in the near future. It is the celebrity
chefs of the late 1970s who started this trend when they decided their food should look as beautiful as it tasted. Nowadays, food
preparation and display has become a veritable feast for the eyes.

Woolsey Fire and the Camp Fire. The latter resulted in 85 deaths, becoming the most
deadly wildire in the state’s history. It also destroyed Paradise, a small town of
26 000 inhabitants. What plans are being made by the community to reconstruct it?

ers have been coming to him for well over 50
years, having gotten hundreds of haircuts.
“I have some customers, I cut their father,
grandfather and great-grandfather — four
generations,” said Mancinelli, who has six
great-great-grandchildren.
7. Mancinelli said he was born in 1911 near

Naples, Italy, and emigrated with his fam-
ily when he was 8, joining a relative in
Newburgh, New York. He was one of eight
children — “I’m the only one left” — and
went to work at age 11 in a local barbershop.
By age 12, he was cutting hair and dropped
out of high school to cut hair full time. Back
then, a haircut cost 25 cents, he said. Now,
a haircut from Mancinelli costs $19.
8. He no longer practices the medical tech-

niques he learned early on from older bar-
bers, such as burning off warts, placing
heated glass cups on the torso and using
leeches for swelling or high blood pressure.
He does keep in his salon drawer — “for
when the electricity goes out” — a pair of
manual hair clippers he used before electric
hair clippers came into use.

THE POWER OF FISH

Brexit negotiations: fishing rights and fights
The ishing industry was at the centre of the pro-Brexit campaign, which claimed to support the idea that the country had to
regain control of its waters. Fishing was not mentioned in the recently concluded Brexit agreement between the United Kingdom
and the European Union. This contentious subject will be covered in a separate treaty. How has one single industry become such

RETOUR À HOWARDS END
De James Ivory
Dans l’Angleterre du début du XXe siècle, les deux sœurs
Schlegel, issues de la bourgeoisie londonienne, vont croiser le
chemin d’une riche famille d’industriels, les Wilcox. Margaret
Schlegel et Ruth Wilcox se lient d’amitié. Juste avant de mourir,
cette dernière décide de léguer Howards End, sa maison de
campagne préférée, à Margaret, ce qui provoque l’ire des
Wilcox... Cette très belle adaptation cinématographique du
roman éponyme de E.M. Foster, trois fois oscarisée en 1993, est
de retour au cinéma dans une version restaurée. Ce ilm
romanesque, qui ne manque pas d’humour, explore les rapports
entre les diférentes classes sociales de l’Angleterre
édouardienne à travers trois familles dont les destins se
trouvent liés pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Un ilm magistral au
