Mapping European Stereotypes By Maria Popova Geopolitical cartography is all about an objective view of the world’s political conventions. But there’s nothing politically correct in Bulgarian-born, London-based designer Yanko Tsvetkov‘s Mapping Stereotypes project — a series of amusing, often tragicomically true maps of Europe based on various subjective perceptions and ideologies. Tsvetkov’s maps are available for purchase as prints, mousepads and t-shirts on Zazzle. Élections : Enquête sur les réseaux de François Hollande DOSSIER - Depuis le week-end dernier, le président et les siens détiennent tous les pouvoirs institutionnels ainsi que la plupart des exécutifs locaux. Ils disposent aussi de puissants leviers et relais de pouvoir grâce à un vaste réseau de hauts fonctionnaires, de grands patrons, d'intellectuels et de journalistes. Tout-puissant, François Hollande? Difficile de nier cette réalité: la victoire de la gauche aux législatives et les règles de la Ve République donnent au Président toutes les rênes de l'État, sans compter celles du Sénat et de nombre d'exécutifs locaux. Une véritable armada L'examen détaillé des galaxies qui l'entourent conduit cependant à nuancer la version d'un président sans affidés, d'un outsider sans attaches, simplement sorti du rang grâce au hasard des circonstances. La partie visible de ses réseaux repose naturellement sur sa garde rapprochée - les incontournables Michel Sapin, Stéphane Le Foll, Jérôme Cahuzac ou Jean-Yves Le Drian, récompensés par des maroquins.

Susan Freinkel: Eternal Plastic: A Toxic Love Story Plastic now pervades civilization---how many of the things you see from where you are right now are plastic? It is an ingenious material whose miraculous qualities we take too much for granted, but it also sometimes has nightmarish downstream effects. The giant polymer molecules (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, etc.) that are so marvelously cheap to mold, extrude, shape, and weave are also extremely durable. Plastic presents a problem in temporal management of the very long-term and the very short-term. Susan Freinkel is the author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story and American Chestnut: The Life, Death, and Rebirth of a Perfect Tree. Making plastic even better Plastic is so new, Freinkel began, that among all the objects preserved in the sunken Titanic, none are synthetic plastic, because there was hardly any available in 1912. Some plastics have some chemicals like bisphenol A and phthalates that are toxic. --Stewart Brand
