ON A QUIET residential street in Arlington, Va., one garage is not like the others. Clad in white corrugated steel, the structure is tall and thin with a sharply peaked roof, suggesting a giant pencil poking up through the earth. At the center of the spread are a pair of ornately dimpled pastel-glazed earthenware vases by the French ceramist Saraï Delfendahl, each the size and silhouette of a baby elephant’s foot. A chubby-armed sky blue ceramic chandelier by the New York-based artist Braxton Congrove hangs from the ceiling. The 12 unique place settings feature, among other items, an orange tumbler with three spiky legs by the New York-based artist and tableware designer Grace Whiteside and a clay oyster plate inlaid with shells by the ceramist Michele Mirisola of Brooklyn.

Mai mult, un partid australian pentru protejarea animalelor au cerut guvernului să nu decidă eutanasierea porumbelului călător, despre care s-a crezut că a zburat 13.000 de kilometri din Alabama, Statele Unite până în Australia. Proprietarul casei unde a fost identificat l-a botezat Joe, după preşedintele american Joe Biden. "Ei nu sunt crescuţi pentru a zbura pe distanţe lungi, ci pentru a face tumbe în aer. Sunt mai degrabă păsări de spectacol", a explicat Lars Scott, reprezentant al unei asociaţii însărcinate cu salvarea porumbeilor din Melbourne, potrivit Agerpres. Ministerul lucrează în prezent pentru a stabili autenticitatea sa", a declarat un purtător de cuvânt de la Ministerul australian al Agriculturii.
