道後温泉 — Dogo Onsen, Matsuyama.
Una struttura enorme, antica, circondata da una città che nel frattempo è andata avanti.
Luci calde dentro, strade fredde fuori, traffico che scorre senza fermarsi.
Che sia davvero il più antico del Giappone conta poco. Qui ti fermi a guardarlo.

道後温泉 — 松山。
大きくて古い建物。その周りでは街が普通に動き続けている。
中は暖かい光、外は冷たい道路と流れる車。
日本最古かどうかは関係ない。ただ見てしまう場所。

道後温泉 — Dogo Onsen, Matsuyama.
A massive, historic structure surrounded by a city that has clearly moved on.
Warm lights inside, cold streets outside, traffic flowing past without stopping.
Whether it’s truly the oldest in Japan doesn’t really matter. You just stop and look.

Bournemouth face Crystal Palace this weekend before their successful head coaches move on with top level still unclear

On Sunday afternoon, Bournemouth face Crystal Palace: Andoni Iraola, in his fourth-last league game in charge of the home side, against Oliver Glasner in his fifth-last league game in charge of the away side – although the latter also has the Europa Conference League to deal with. Both managers are out of contract at the end of the season, and both hope to move on to a club with a substantially bigger budget.

That’s understandable. This has been an uncomfortable season for Glasner, whose frustration at the club’s financial limitations was perhaps expressed a little too publicly, but history will remember him as the manager who won Crystal Palace the FA Cup. More prosaically, with the 12th-highest wage bill in the Premier League, he has taken Palace to 10th and 12th, while they started the weekend 13th. And there remains the possibility of a glorious farewell with Conference League success in Leipzig.

Arsenal supporters had almost forgotten what it was like to win without their nerves being shredded. They were reacquainted with the feeling on an occasion when everything felt right from the start and got better and better. It was all over by half-time, Arsenal three goals to the good and the Emirates Stadium purring over a virtuoso Bukayo Saka performance.

The England winger had not been himself before he was forced to take time out at the end of March to rest an achilles problem – and one or two others aches. He was back in the starting XI here and the bang he produced could be heard in Manchester. City do not play until Monday night. They will kick off at Everton six points behind Arsenal at the top, albeit having played two games fewer. Arsenal have turned up the heat inexorably.

• Paris Saint-Germain blow lead twice against Lorient

• Bayern draw 3-3 with Heidenheim after late comeback

Paris Saint-Germain warmed up for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich by fielding a second-string lineup and throwing away the lead twice in a 2-2 draw with Lorient in Ligue 1.

Ibrahim Mbaye’s lucky early goal to put PSG in front at the Parc des Princes was soon cancelled out by Pablo Pagis for mid-table Lorient, but Warren Zaïre-Emery gave the hosts the lead for the second time when he scored moments after coming on as a second-half substitute.

This week Bill Gates wrote a blog post about a special camera from medtech startup Remidio, which delivers high-resolution images of a patient's retina in seconds. The camera plugs into a phone running an AI system that watches for early signs of diabetes — all without needing a blood draw, eye dilation, or a dibetes specialist. It's already been used in 40 countries for more than 15 million patients.



But that same hardware, with different software, can also flag the conditions that drive so many dangerous pregnancies. Gestational diabetes sharply increases the risk of pre-eclampsia [a spike in blood pressure during pregnancy responsible for half a million fetal deaths every year and 70,000 maternal deaths]... In most of rural sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, it usually isn't screened for at all, because the standard test requires a lab. A retinal scan offers a different way in.

Remidio's device is currently being used in India to screen pregnant women for conditions that drive stillbirth. And researchers are now adapting the same hardware to screen for anemia and hypertension, too... [S]mall, portable, affordable diagnostics in the hands of community health workers are exactly the kind of lever that can start to move a number that hasn't moved in a long time.

Excelsior heeft in de Euroborg een enorme horde genomen in de strijd tegen degradatie. De thuisploeg kwam door doelpunten van Tika de Jonge en Younes Taha tweemaal op voorsprong, maar Excelsior kwam ook tweemaal langszij. In de slotfase maakte Gyan de Regt de winnende goal.

MIAMI (ANP) - Lando Norris was na afloop van zijn gewonnen sprintrace bij de Grote Prijs van Miami tevreden met zijn start van het raceweekend. "Het is fijn om weer op de hoogste trede te staan, ook al is het maar een sprintrace", zei de wereldkampioen van McLaren na zijn eerste zege van het seizoen.

"Het was een goede dag voor ons en het team heeft het geweldig gedaan met de updates", zei Norris. "Het lijkt alsof iedereen hetzelfde zegt, maar die van ons hebben dit weekend echt geholpen. Ik ben blij dat ik dit voor het team heb kunnen waarmaken."

"Het was heet en zweterig, maar ik kon blijven pushen. Ik was echter ook vrij ontspannen en maakte geen fouten. Een goede start van het weekend, maar nu moeten we het allemaal opnieuw gaan doen", keek Norris vooruit naar de hoofdrace van zondag.

Norris kwam tijdens de seizoensstart nog niet echt in de buurt van zijn prestaties van vorig seizoen, waarin hij Max Verstappen net aftroefde in de titelrace. Hij pakte 25 punten uit de eerste drie races en bezette de vijfde plaats in de WK-stand.

This “Third Eye Open Peace” mural in Naples incorporates a portrait I originally made for my Make Art Not War print back during the Iraq War. The mural is a public art companion piece to my “Power To the Peaceful” exhibition opening at Gallerie D’Italia on May 6th. I have long promoted peace through my art and activism and this mural incorporates a peace sign and peace text (PACE in Italian) while also including a third eye blooming like a flower, The third eye represents a dialogue with one’s inner self, higher consciousness, and a quest for enlightenment, all of which are essential to achieve peace and harmony. I’ve often used the phrase “eyes open-mind open” and I think “third eye open” is a similar but slightly weightier idea because it addresses looking not only outward to observe, but inward as well. If we can connect with our own humanity we can have empathy for others. Thank to my sponsors Poltrona Frau, La Reggia Designer Outlet, and Montana Cans for helping make this all happen. Also, big thank you to Cultura Napoli, Wunderkammern Gallery, and Inward Creativa Urbana, and my team Dan Flores, Rob Zagula, and Jonathan Furlong for all of your hard work this week! -Shepard
