CNN —Splashing out an apartment in the south of France and renovating it yourself may sound like a difficult – and hugely expensive – task. The couple spent a year or so completing the renovations themselves, which involved putting in new flooring and repainting the walls, as well as transforming the annex area into a bedroom for their children. Meanwhile, Rixa spent most of any free time she had looking for pre-used items, including dishes, for their new place. Frugal livingEric and Rixa purchased this former Communist office in Old Nice in 2020, six years after buying the apartment over it. Courtesy Margarite FisherHe also points out that Old Nice is a place that “preceded cars” so it has much more of a neighborhood feel and lots of shared outdoor space.

☆ Any True Modern-Design Lover Needs to Know About This Masterpiece

I AM just crazy about Milan’s Pirelli Tower. The stylish but severe 1950s skyscraper, once headquarters of the Italian tire company, was the brainchild of Giovanni “Gio” Ponti (1891–1979), the colossus of 20th-century Milanese design. A polymath architect-designer whose output ranged from ocean liners to cutlery sets, Ponti went on to complement this high-modernist office building, still his best-known work, with a late, imaginative masterpiece—1970’s La Concattedrale Gran Madre di Dio, a church in Taranto, a remote harbor town in Puglia in the heel of Italy’s boot.

Mandatory Credit: John Jones-USA TODAY SportsNEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) - China's Yin Ruoning produced a flawless final round with four birdies to win the Women's PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club on Sunday and claim her first major title. The 20-year-old Yin, who collected her maiden LPGA Tour title at the DIO Implant LA Open earlier this year, is only the second Chinese woman to win a golf major after Shanshan Feng. "I would say she's definitely the goal that I'm chasing," said Yin, who was nine years old when Feng won the Women's PGA Championship in 2012. "I was on the 18th tee and I saw the leaderboard, and I know I have a one-shot lead," said Yin.

☆ Hundreds of pounds of pasta dumped in Old Bridge, New Jersey

This question had residents of Old Bridge, New Jersey, scratching their heads over the past few days, although part of the mystery may have been solved. Uncooked spaghetti found along a stream in Old Bridge, New Jersey, in a photo taken by resident Nina Jochnowitz, who said all kinds of things are dumped in the Jersey woods. The Old Bridge Department of Public Works mopped up “what appeared to be 15 [wheelbarrow] loads of illegal dumped pasta along a creek in a residential neighborhood,” Shah said. Full disclosure: Old Bridge is my hometown. Two Old Bridge residents (again, full disclosure: my parents) made a previously unplanned stop on Thursday afternoon near the scene, and my dad walked through the wooded area.

☆ Kupcho expecting different challenge in Chevron defence

April 18 (Reuters) - American Jennifer Kupcho is expecting a very different challenge as she defends her first major title away from the familiar surrounds of last year's triumph, with the Chevron Championship kicking off the women’s major calendar at a new Texas venue after more than 50 years in its former Palm Springs home. Kupcho had yet to clinch a LPGA Tour title before her victory last year, when she held on through a nervy back nine to win by two shots. Yet the world number 20 will find very different conditions this year at Carlton Woods course. The 25-year-old picked up two more wins on the tour after her Chevron title but has struggled to make much of an impact in 2023, most recently finishing tied for 25th at the DIO Implant LA Open. Feel like I have my feet under me and ready to go," Kupcho added.

While Budapest and Warsaw are haggling with the bloc over rule-of-law strings attached to billions worth of pandemic recovery funds, Romania has already drawn down over 6 billion euros in grants and cheap loans. Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca has said the government aims to tap more than 10 billion euros a year, equivalent to about 4% of GDP, of about 90 billion euros of EU funding available to Bucharest through to 2027. RESHORINGCompanies reshoring from Russia and Ukraine to nearby low-cost manufacturing hubs partially helped push foreign direct investment to 9.39 billion euros in January-October, the largest 10-month figure since Romania joined the EU. "We are optimistic that investment will rise in coming years, also encouraged by EU funds," said Alex Milcev, head of Tax and Legal at E&Y Romania. And relations with the EU are not always smooth: in December, Austrian opposition over unauthorised immigration kept Romania out of Europe's borderless Schengen area.
