Er is een nieuwe route in drugsland: via de Atlantische Oceaan komen grote hoeveelheden cocaïne Europa binnen. De ingrediënten: volle zee en supersnelle speedbootjes.

Drugssmokkelaars hebben op de Atlantische oceaan een nieuwe logistieke keten gebouwd tussen Zuid-Amerika, West-Afrika en Europa. De Franse overheid zet de marine in tegen speedboten die met 130 kilometer per uur drugs aan land brengen en wil hulp. Nederland kent het probleem, maar wacht op een officieel verzoek voor inzet van de marine.

The Montecito was built in 1935 with 95 units at a cost of $1 million. Set on a hill overlooking the city, the Montecito is the highest building in Hollywood. It has a private swimming pool, two subterranean garages and a parking lot.The building is a classic Art Deco design with Mayan influences and windows arranged in vertical blinds. In 1946, it was sold for $600,000. In 1954, it was sold again, this time by Isadore and Libby Teacher to Howard Fox and Harry Wyatt.

The Montecito was home to several future movie stars, especially New York based actors while working in Hollywood. It was Ronald Reagan’s first residence when he moved to Hollywood; Reagan lived at the Montecito from June 1937 to late 1938. Reagan was said to have been roommates at the Montecito with Mickey Rooney. Other celebrities who have lived at the Montecito include James Cagney, George C. Scott, Montgomery Clift, Geraldine Page, Don Johnson, Sal Mineo and Ben Vereen.

AI is niet onvermijdelijk; ze wordt onvermijdelijk gemaakt – zonder echte discussie, zonder gezonde marktwerking en zonder instemming. ‘Sorry,’ zegt hoofdrolspeler Ava Daniels in de comedyserie Hacks, ‘maar dit is gewoon technologische verkrachting.’

Somalia National Pavilion ? SADDEXLEEY The 61st International Art Exhibition ? La Biennale di Venezia marked a historic milestone with the opening of the first-ever Somalia National Pavilion. For SADDEXLEEY, featuring works by Ayan Farah, Asmaa Jama, and Warsan Shire, we developed a visual identity that translates the exhibition's themes into a contemporary graphic language while honoring Somalia's cultural heritage. The identity is built around typography and a restrained graphic system inspired by Somali visual culture and the country's national colors. Designed to complement rather than compete with the artworks, the flexible identity was applied across exhibition graphics, environmental elements, printed materials, and digital communication, creating a cohesive visual experience throughout the pavilion.
