The New Opalhouse x Jungalow Collection at Target Is Here to Refresh Your Home For 2022 - POPSUGAR

The film and photographic images that emerged from the Holocaust, often in a blurrily dark monochrome, instantly became the visual definition of evil in the 20th century. So to set this brutal iconography against the cheerily crisp colours of modern English suburban homes in springtime complete with armchairs, French doors on to patios, bright tulips in pots might risk accusations of superficiality, or worse.

But when the people in these apparently mundane locations are themselves survivors of the Holocaust, the sheer joyful fact of their existence becomes a triumphant rejoinder to the unimaginable cruelty and depravity of three-quarters of a century ago. The new images are collected together in Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors, which opens later this week to coincide with world Holocaust day, at the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) gallery in Bristol after a showing at the Imperial War Museum in London.

The exhibition was initially intended to run in 2020, to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps in 1945, and plans were made to photograph the 70 or so Holocaust survivors living in the UK.

Of course lockdown ensured that didnt happen, says the RPS project curator, Tracy Marshall-Grant. Then in spring of last year, when things were looking a little more open, we tried again and it came together remarkably smoothly.

Marshall-Grant has invited fellows of the RPS as well as its patron the Duchess of Cambridge, who, in an unexpected juxtaposition, shares wall space with the Suns longtime royal photographer Arthur Edwards to capture the survivors at their homes, often surrounded by their families. There was no uniform brief, says Marshall-Grant. All the photographers know what they are doing so I just asked them to treat it as one of their own projects. The result is fascinatingly diverse. There are some very traditional portraits but also things that look like they are out of glossy magazines. And the photographers often became close to their subjects and kept in touch. Sian Bonnells picture of Tomi Komoly someone simply in their garden wearing their good clothes has such a warm and personal feel that you wouldnt be surprised if it was a family picture.

This family aspect cuts to the heart of the project. The survivors were young during the Holocaust and down the years have become parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Along with their families there have also been businesses and charity work and all the other elements of productive and useful lives, says Marshall-Grant. Here they are, products of the lives they have built. Of course the horrors of what they and so many others endured is always there, sometimes directly in these photographs in terms of personal effects from the time and so on. But ultimately it has been such a privilege to work with these people and with this material because what actually comes out of it is not only a sense of revulsion at what happened, but huge admiration and gratitude for the positive legacies that have been allowed to be passed on down the generations.

Sir Ben Helfgott (main picture, above) photographed by Frederic Aranda with his grandson Sam at his home in London, was born in Poland in 1929 and incarcerated in the Buchenwald and Theresienstadt concentration camps. After the war he came to the UK and became a weightlifter, representing Great Britain at the 1956 and 1960 Olympics. He was knighted in 2018 for his contribution to Holocaust education. My experience may have hardened me, made me more realistic about human nature, Helfgott has said, but I was repelled by the evil I witnessed. I despaired but I did not let cruelty and injustice break my spirit.

Dorothy Bohm (above) was living in Lithuania in 1939 when she was sent to the UK to escape the Nazis. She didnt see her family again for 20 years. Bohm went on to become a leading photographer, was a co-founder of the Photographers Gallery and worked into her 90s. This was taken in her home in Hampstead where she talked to photographer Jillian Edelstein about her father. Their separation during the war had been particularly painful, says Edelstein. We decided to use this photograph of him to commemorate that time and to have in the image, almost as a symbol of their survival.

Tomi Komoly (above) lost many family members in the Holocaust. He came to the UK in 1956 as a refugee and had a long career in the chemical industry. Photographer Sian Bonnell wanted the image to share the wisdom of his experience and his incredible strength. In 2020 Komoly was awarded the British Empire Medal for his work telling the story of the Holocaust in schools, and his contribution to the fight against hate crime.

Eve Kanner-Kugler (above) left Germany with her mother after the anti-Jewish attacks of Kristallnacht in 1938. She arrived in New York in 1941 and moved to the UK in 1990. Jane Hiltons triptych includes the lanyard Eve wore for the two-month journey by train and sea and the original manuscript of the book Eve wrote about her mothers life, Shattered Crystals. The centre panel (above) shows Eve with her second cousins grandchildren.

Generations: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors is at the Royal Photographic Society Gallery, Bristol, from 27 January to 27 March.

Chicago has lots of warm patios to choose from. | Taquizo

The cold is here to stay in Chicago, but that doesnt mean its time to head indoors. Midwesterners are always made of sterner stuff and have a tolerance for low temperatures. For the past two years, that fortitude was put to the test as health officials limited indoor dining due to COVID-19, and this winter, with the surprise visit from the omicron variant, it continues. And the fire pits and propane heaters that were en vogue in 2020 have returned. Check out this list of the citys best heated patio options.

As of January 3, the city has mandated that those ages 5 and up be fully vaccinated and masked at public places indoors while not actively eating or drinking. For updated information on coronavirus cases, please visit the city of Chicagos COVID-19 dashboard. Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission. The latest CDC guidance is here; find a COVID-19 vaccination site here.

Chicago's best restaurants with heated patios - Eater Chicago

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WFLA/NBC) A Florida man had a close call after a violent encounter with a bear when it tried to attack his dogs Wednesday.

Video taken from Walter Hickoxs Ring camera showed the man on patio with his three dachshunds when a black bear crawled over a pet gate, coming dangerously close to the dogs.

Thats when Walter lunged toward the bear, shoving it back out of his home as it clawed at him. Walter managed to trap the bear back outside using a fence.

Oh my God! I got attacked by a bear, Walter yelled after successfully repelling the ursine assailant.

According to NBC affiliate WESH, Walter suffered some puncture wounds and scratches but did not need an ambulance.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials said this was the second incident within a week, with a bear tackling a woman while she walked her dog on Jan. 13. However, these encounters are said to be rare.

The FWC said to avoid a violent confrontation with a bear, remove all food attractants from around your home, including pet food and bird seed.

To scare the bear away from your home, you can flip lights on and off and bang on your walls to frighten it off, officials said.

Should your dog get into a fight with a bear, the FWC said to use bear spray or a water hose while making loud noises to scare it away.

Extending strict public health measures in Toronto now could help to prevent another lockdown right before patio season begins in Toronto, Mayor John Tory said Wednesday.

Speaking at a news conference at city hall on Wednesday afternoon, Torontos Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa said she is asking the province to keep strict lockdown measures in place in the city for at least another two weeks before considering easing any of the current restrictions.

We absolutely do not want to find ourselves opening up, even slightly, and then having to close down again just a few weeks from now. With the promise of vaccinations upon us, we need to ensure that this lockdown that were presently in is the last one, she told reporters.

Toronto, Peel Region, York Region, and the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit are the only regions of the province that have not been transitioned back into the provinces reopening framework due to high community transmission of the novel coronavirus and the circulation of dangerous COVID-19 variants.

The Ford government previously indicated that the regions could return to its colour-coded reopening system as soon as next week, but both Toronto and Peel Regions medical officers of health have advised against that.

Mayor John Tory said he supports the decision to keep Toronto closed in the interim.

When asked about how the variants could impact this years CafeTO program, a city initiative launched last summer to help struggling bars and restaurants build or expand patios during the pandemic, Tory said keeping the city locked down now could prevent a lockdown later this spring.

Tory has said the earliest patios could open as part of the CafeTO program is in early May.

I guess we all would want to have our fingers crossed that we do the right thing that the doctor has recommended in terms of being prudent about reopening and it will still allow us to actually have CafeTO patios open and not be in another lockdown by then, he said.

(That) is precisely what we are trying to avoid is having an opening and then be back into lockdown right when those patios will be opening in May.

Restaurants have been closed in Toronto since Nov. 23, when another lockdown was imposed during the second wave of the pandemic.

Bars and restaurants are still permitted to offer takeout and delivery during the lockdown but in-person dining is prohibited.

As of this week, bars and restaurants were allowed to reopen in Halton and Durham regions with reduced capacity.

York Regions medical officer of health has asked that his region enter the red or control zone of the provinces reopening framework next week, which would allow many businesses, including restaurants, hair salons, and gyms, to reopen.

Extending Torontos current COVID-19 closures could prevent a third lockdown just as the citys patios would reopen, Mayor John Tory said.

At a press conference on February 17, Tory said he supported Dr. Eileen de Villas calls to keep the city shut downin order to assess the emerging COVID-19 variants.

The worst mistake we could make right now is to ignore the advice of our medical experts and begin to reopen too quickly, the mayor said.

We absolutely do not want to find ourselves opening things up, even slightly, and then having to close down again just a few weeks from now.

A slower reopening would be the right thing to do, Tory said, noting that it would prevent a third wave of COVID-19that could force a shutdown in early May as the weather warms and the CafTO program resumes.

The city has begun accepting applications for the program and, depending on public health orders, the first CafTO locations could be open by early May, two months earlier than in 2020.

We all would want to have our fingers crossed that we do the right thing that the doctor has recommended in terms of being prudent about reopening and it will still allow us to actually have CafTO patios open, and not be in another lockdown by then, Tory said.

[That] is precisely what were trying to avoid, is having an opening and then be back in a lockdown right at the time when those patios will be opening in May.

Torontos Stay at Home order is set to expire on February 22, at which point the city will transition back into Ontarios updatedreopening framework.

De Villa has askedOntarios Chief Medical Officer of Health to delay Torontos return to the colour-coded system until at least March 9 as virus variants spread across the city.

With the promise of vaccinations upon us, we need to ensure that this lockdown that were presently in is the last one, Tory said.

Winnipegs pandemic success story from the summer of 2020 the boom in patios will be growing in 2021.

The Beer Can, which took over a vacant lot on Main Street between the Fortune Block and the Winnipeg Hotel last June, will move to a new location for this summer, a spokesperson said Tuesday.

Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club, which is located in the Fortune Block at the corner of Main and St. Mary Avenue, will take over the Beer Cans former location and rename it Times Change(d) Outside, according to a post on the nightclubs Facebook account.

Blank Canvas Beer Co. founder Brad Chute launched the Beer Can pop-up patio project last spring when COVID-19 positive cases dwindled to a trickle in Manitoba. It provided a safe space for Winnipeggers to enjoy a warm day or evening outdoors and sip a locally brewed beer while maintaining social-distancing standards set by the province.

Chute turned to Times Change(d) owner John Scoles to provide advice on the project. Later in the summer, a stage was built for local performers, ranging from rock bands to dance troupes, to entertain crowds of no more than 50 people.

The pop-up closed in mid-October when the weather turned cold.

The Beer Can spokesperson said the pop-ups plan was always to use the Main Street location for one year only, and that it will find a new venue and a new partner for 2021.

In the Facebook post, the Times Change(d) said it has teamed up with bourbon brand Jim Beam for a covered stage and a cocktail bar for 2021, and Modern Electric Lunch, another Fortune Block tenant, to provide food.

Winnipeg restaurants were forced to close after the COVID-19 pandemic spread to Manitoba last March. A number of Winnipeg bars and restaurants later built or expanded patios when the province eased restrictions for patios prior to allowing indoor eating spaces to open for business.

The city also eased its patio regulations and began allowing restaurants or microbreweries and distilleries to set up temporary patios for the summer. Other pop-up patios emerged across the city in 2020 in response, including the Bijou Patio, which served food and beverages from Exchange District eateries and breweries from its location adjacent to Old Market Square, and the Cargo Bar at Assiniboine Park.

After the pandemic hit last year, food and beverage establishmentsonce allowed to restart dine-in serviceturned to expanding seating outdoors during the spring and summer in order to accommodate for physical distancing and to adapt to health measures.

However, fall and winter weather reduced that option.

With spring bringing warmer weather, outdoor seating will become more feasible once again.

In preparation for sunny days ahead, the City of Vancouver announced today (February 17) that applications for temporary patios on public property during the summer open on March 1, and permits will run from April 1 to October 31.

These patios can be on sidewalks and curb lanes adjacent to businesses.

Applications will be evaluated for a number of considerationstemporary patios cant restrict accessibility, reduce space on the sidewalk, encroach upon streets, or block access to critical utilities (such as fire department connections).

Also, the open-air aspect of the patio cant be reduced by structures or enclosures.

The citys deputy engineering general manager Margaret Wittgens stated in a news release that the Temporary Expedited Patio Program previously helped over 400 bars and restaurants.

Meanwhile, applications for temporary patios on private property can be submitted throughout the year.

Information on the Temporary Expedited Patio Program is available at the City of Vancouver website.
