Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN —If it wasn’t for the fact she was signing autographs outside the CBS studio in New York, many would have thought Billie Piper was attempting to go unnoticed. Wrapped, folded or tied under the chin; the headscarf is perhaps one of the most diverse — and historic — accessories in fashion’s arsenal. The same day, Julia Fox was spotted in another headscarf — styled with her Velveeta cheese curls and chunky boots. Sewn under the chin with the corners laid flat like a collar, each was etched with a different hairstyle.

If the trust assets are invested and achieve an annual rate of return of 9% a year, the CLT's remainder will be $2.1 million. Advertisement"It's a fantastic low interest rate play," said Renn. "The problem now is rates have really risen and it's to the point where some investments clearly can outperform a 4% or 5% interest rate, but others might struggle." In this interest rate environment, charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) have better odds.

Anya Firestone’s job as a luxury tour guide in Paris has brought her to many rarefied corners of the city. But only recently did she do something that countless locals and visitors have done over the last 130 years: Book a reservation at Maxim’s, the storied French restaurant that opened in 1893 and has counted Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Margrethe II of Denmark, Jean Cocteau, Jane Birkin and Man Ray among its patrons. “The place was packed,” Ms. Firestone, 35, said of the night she ate there in late November. She was not alone in that perception. “Many people, even most, did not realize it was open as a restaurant,” said Pierre Pelegry, a director at Maxim’s who has worked there for 27 years and was hired by Pierre Cardin, the French fashion designer, after he bought the restaurant in 1981.

If the calculations predict that the trust's remainder interest is zero, the beneficiaries are exempt from estate tax even if the assets actually appreciate by a greater amount.

☆ Maria Callas Was Opera’s Defining Diva. She Still Is.

She left her husband for the shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, largely giving up performing in the process. When Onassis eventually married Jackie Kennedy instead, Callas was alone and bereft, without either the vocation that had given her purpose or the man who had replaced it. There was always that sense of every phrase being considered, without feeling studied — of a voice with a purpose. But among the most pernicious stereotypes about Callas is that she was an actress who could barely sing, who got by on charisma alone. Listen to her tender “O mio babbino caro.” Listen to her delicate yet commanding “D’amor sull’ali rosee.” She was always a bel canto singer at heart.

Other participants in the fund-raising for Britain- and Netherlands-based ENOUGH included existing investors such as AXA IM Alts (AXAF.PA) and the Olympic Investments company of the Onassis shipping family. "ENOUGH has made great strides in the past few years to launch our new factory in the Netherlands and scale up to work with customers across the UK and Europe," said CEO Jim Laird, a former chief executive of plant-based meat producer Quorn. Companies involved in producing alternative-sources of meat and protein say they are helping in the battle to protect the climate, since meat from a laboratory has less impact on the environment than traditional farming. Nevertheless, there are signs that consumers' demand for plant-based meat may be waning, with Beyond Meat cutting its annual revenue forecast earlier this month.

Now, scientists have announced a potential new method of feline contraception that’s shown early promise: long-lasting contraceptive injections that prevent ovulation. “That’s what led us to start collaborating with Bill (Swanson).”The Cincinnati Zoo, Swanson says, is home to the widest array of wild cats in North America, including lions, tigers and tiny sand cats. Three cats were a control group, while six received injections of the gene of the hormone in question, hitched to a mild virus. The three control-group cats all became pregnant, but none of the six cats in the experimental group did. “We’re really focused on adopting these cats out,” said Swanson, who’s adopted three cats from earlier studies.

CNN —After losing her house to a fire, Jo Ann Ussery had a peculiar idea: to live in an airplane. She bought an old Boeing 727 that was destined for the scrapyard, had it shipped to a plot of land she already owned, and spent six months renovating, doing most of the work by herself. By the end, she had a fully functional home, with over 1,500 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and even a hot tub – where the cockpit used to be. Although she wasn’t the first person to ever live in an airplane, her flawless execution of the project had an inspirational effect. Maybe the worst choice for a home.”As a result, Campbell had to work on the plane for a couple of years before being able to live in it.

In the early '70s, Bruce Campbell paid $25,800 for 10 acres of land in Hillsboro, a suburb of Portland, Oregon. In 1999, Campbell decided he would follow through but had no idea how to go about it, so he hired a salvage company to find him a plane. Campbell paid $100,000 for it, and the plane was flown from Greece to Oregon to prepare it for him to take ownership. Next to the kitchen area, Campbell has his futon sofa, which doubles as his sleeping area, and his workbench. His monthly expenses are $370 a month, which includes $220 a month in property taxes and between $100 to $250 a month in electricity.

Acest "super-iaht", denumit "Christina" - prenumele fiicei lui Onassis - a fost o fregată a marinei canadiene, cu o lungime de aproape 100 de metri. Ambarcaţiunea a participat la Debarcarea din Normandia, înainte ca Onassis să o achiziţioneze, după război, cu 34.000 de dolari, scrie Agerpres.ro. Onassis a renovat generos ambarcaţiunea, cheltuind aproximativ 4 milioane de dolari, pentru a o face "una dintre cele mai incredibile structuri plutitoare" şi unul dintre locurile preferate ale protipendadei epocii, a declarat Engelen. După decesul lui Onassis, în 1975, la şapte ani de la căsătoria cu Jackie Kennedy, iahtul a fost vândut şi tot ce se afla la bord a fost depozitat.

"Aceasta este o zi specială nu doar pentru persoanele cu dizabilităţi, ci şi pentru cele în vârstă şi cu deficienţe", a declarat Mitsotakis.Vizitatorii care doresc să se bucure de acest simbol al culturii occidentale vor putea face acest lucru fără să-şi mai facă griji cu privire la calea dificilă de acces, a adăugat oficialul, scrie agerpres.ro. Cărarea care duce în vârful dealului Acropolei din Atena este foarte abruptă şi alunecoasă, iar liftul anterior, instalat în 2004 pentru Jocurile Olimpice, nu au funcţionat aproape niciodată.Situaţia a stârnit nemulţumiri, după ce anul trecut un grec şi-a purtat în braţe fiul de 12 ani până în vârful dealului deoarece nu a putut urca cu scaunul cu rotile.Ca urmare, fundaţia regretatului armator Aristoteles Onassis a finanţat construcţia unui nou ascensor şi a unui sistem antiderapant pe căile de acces către vârf, unde vizitatorii riscau adesea să cadă pe marmura alunecoasă
