Woman wins Picasso painting worth €1m in raffle
Mulher ganha quadro de Picasso no valor de 1 milhão de euros em sorteio
An Italian woman has won a painting by Pablo Picasso, worth about €1m (£900,000; $1.1m), in a raffle after being given the ticket as a gift. Uma mulher italiana ganhou um quadro de Pablo Picasso, no valor de cerca de 1 milhão de euros (£ 900.000; US$ 1,1 milhão), em um sorteio, depois de receber o ingresso como presente.
The winning ticket was pulled out during a live draw at Christie’s auction house in Paris. O bilhete vencedor foi retirado durante um sorteio ao vivo na casa de leilões Christie’s em Paris.
The event, which was fundraising for Care charity, had been postponed twice - first to sell more tickets, and then because of coronavirus restrictions. O evento, que arrecadava fundos para a instituição de caridade Care, foi adiado duas vezes – primeiro para vender mais ingressos e depois por causa das restrições do coronavírus.
The prize painting, Nature Morte, is a still life from 1921. A pintura premiada, Nature Morte, é uma natureza morta de 1921.
It is a relatively small artwork - measuring 9in by 18in (23cm by 46cm) - which shows a glass of absinthe and a newspaper on a table. É uma obra de arte relativamente pequena - medindo 23 x 46 cm - que mostra um copo de absinto e um jornal sobre uma mesa.
In total €5.1m was raised for the charity by selling 51,000 raffle tickets at €100 each. About 29% of the tickets were sold in France, followed by the US and Switzerland. No total, foram angariados 5,1 milhões de euros para a instituição de caridade através da venda de 51.000 bilhetes de rifa a 100 euros cada. Cerca de 29% dos bilhetes foram vendidos em França, seguida pelos EUA e Suíça.
Organisers said that €4.2m of proceeds will go towards clean water projects in schools and villages in Madagascar, Morocco and Cameroon. Os organizadores afirmaram que 4,2 milhões de euros em receitas serão destinados a projetos de água potável em escolas e aldeias em Madagáscar, Marrocos e Camarões.
David Nahmad, the billionaire collector from Monaco who supplied the Picasso painting, will be given €900,000. He also donated €100,000 to Care, organisers said. David Nahmad, o colecionador bilionário do Mónaco que forneceu a pintura de Picasso, receberá 900 mil euros. Ele também doou € 100 mil para a Care, disseram os organizadores.
“Picasso would have loved an operation like this, because he was someone with a lot of interest in humanitarian and social causes,” sale organiser Peri Cochin told Reuters news agency. “Picasso teria adorado uma operação como esta, porque ele era alguém com muito interesse em causas humanitárias e sociais”, disse o organizador da venda, Peri Cochin, à agência de notícias Reuters.

Flooding hits parts of Midwest, with evacuations in Michigan
Inundações atingem partes do Centro-Oeste, com evacuações em Michigan
People living along two mid-Michigan lakes and parts of a river were evacuated Tuesday following several days of heavy rain that produced flooding and put pressure on dams in the area. Pessoas que viviam ao longo de dois lagos e partes de um rio no centro de Michigan foram evacuadas na terça-feira, após vários dias de fortes chuvas que produziram inundações e pressionaram as barragens na área.
Two Midland-area schools were opened for evacuees and more than 50 roads have been closed. The evacuations in Michigan followed days of heavy rains in parts of the Midwest that also brought flooding to Chicago and other parts of Illinois, as well as Ohio and other states.

As evacuações em Michigan ocorreram após dias de fortes chuvas em partes do Centro-Oeste, que também causaram inundações em Chicago e outras partes de Illinois, bem como em Ohio e outros estados.
“We were laying in bed when I heard sirens,” Jon St. Croix told the Midland Daily News. “A fire truck was driving around, broadcasting that (we needed) to evacuate. It’s a scary thing — you’re sleeping and awake to sirens.” “Estávamos deitados na cama quando ouvi sirenes”, disse Jon St. Croix ao Midland Daily News. “Um caminhão de bombeiros estava circulando, transmitindo que (precisávamos) evacuar. É uma coisa assustadora – você está dormindo e acordado com as sirenes.”
St. Croix, 62, his wife and a next-door neighbor were among more than a dozen people sheltering in one of the schools. Their home was not flooded, but St. Croix said he had seen flooding in the area. St. Croix, 62 anos, sua esposa e um vizinho estavam entre mais de uma dúzia de pessoas abrigadas em uma das escolas. A casa deles não foi inundada, mas St. Croix disse ter visto inundações na área.
Volunteers at the schools said about 120 vehicles were in the parking lots and about 30 people had been staying on cots inside, according to WNEM-TV. Voluntários nas escolas disseram que cerca de 120 veículos estavam nos estacionamentos e cerca de 30 pessoas estavam em camas no interior, segundo a WNEM-TV.

Home School Tips
Dicas estudar em casa
Many schools around the world closed because of the coronavirus. Parents must be a substitute teacher, and they learn with their children at home. It is not an easy task. Muitas escolas em todo o mundo fecharam por causa do coronavírus. Os pais devem ser professores substitutos e aprendem com os filhos em casa. Não é uma tarefa fácil.
Some parents expect that their children will work as hard as they do in school. However, parents need to understand that every child is different and works at different speeds. It is important to be kind and thoughtful. Alguns pais esperam que seus filhos trabalhem tanto quanto na escola.

It does not have to be boring to learn. It can be fun, too. When parents teach their children math, they do not need to sit at the table and work with a book. Children can practice math during common activities such as baking or dining. Não precisa ser chato aprender. Também pode ser divertido.

Hero pilot safely lands passenger plane with no front wheels as sparks fly from nose of jet
A pilot safely landed a passenger plane without using its front wheels after they failed to deploy on arrival at the airport.
Video footage of the emergency touchdown showed sparks flying from the nose of the aircraft as it slid along the runway in Myanmar.
None of the 82 passengers and seven flight crew were injured during the incident at Mandalay International Airport.
Myanmar National Airlines said in a statement that the pilot, Captain Myat Moe Aung, was alerted to the problem by the plane’s Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS).
He informed the control tower and tried a backup emergency procedure to pull down the wheels on the Brazilian-made Embraer 190-LR.
The pilot then carried out two fly-bys of the runway to allow air controllers to check visually whether the landing gear had deployed.
After dumping fuel to reduce the landing weight, he brought the aircraft in to land on its rear wheels before the nose slowly tipped down to make contact with the runway at 9.09am on Sunday.
“The pilot did a great job,” said Win Khant, permanent secretary of transportation and telecommunication ministry.
A video posted online by one of the passengers showed smoke spreading through the plane before they evacuated the aircraft.
Several of the passengers were smiling as they walked away from the plane.
Flight operations at the airport were suspended for several hours as a result of the incident, which is now under investigation.
“Myanmar national airlines would like to thank all passengers and our crew on board,” the company said in a statement.
Last week a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane skidded
off the runway after landing in bad weather in Yangon. At least 15 crew and
passengers were injured.

Anne With an E fans wage digital war with Netflix over cancellation
Anne Shirley, the outspoken orphan who first appeared in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 novel, Anne of Green Gables, has since appeared in countless movies and television spinoffs – and built a loyal global following. So it should probably come as little surprise that fans of the show’s latest remake – the TV series Anne With an E – are fiercely protective of their heroine. And like Anne, they’re willing to fight for what they believe in.
The shows coproducers, Netflix and CBC, announced that
the drama would be cancelled after three seasons. “People were outraged. The
cast and the crew were also blindsided
by it,” said Lisa E, a Toronto-based organizer with AWAE Fan Projects.
“Everyone loves the show obviously. They just couldn’t believe it.” The day
after the announcement, a group of fans took to Twitter with rallying cry:
renew the show. The group’s most successful – and most controversial – campaign
has been a digital, guerilla-style battle against the two companies.
