  • Character Descriptions (Alphabetical Order by Character)
    Character Descriptions (alphabetical order by character) Lisette Beaufort (Lyne Renée) Lisette Beaufort, an alluring French anatomy artist, is loosely inspired by the few daring female photographers and artists of the time. Lisette has been tasked with creating medical art for an anatomy book and has come to Virginia to document the wounded. It is no accident that she chooses Mansion House Hospital to begin her assignment. She knows Dr. Foster (Josh Radnor) too well; she met and had a brief affair with him in France and there’s still chemistry between them, mixed with animus over their failed romance. Sensuous and bohemian, bold and outspoken, Lisette quickly creates a stir in the hospital... Lyne on Lisette: “I think Lisette is truly different than anyone else in this world she enters. We are in war time. She is someone who is very disarming because she doesn’t care about rules and traditions and she speaks her mind. In that time, that was very different from how women would carry themselves. Also, funny enough, I am an artist myself. I draw classical portraits and I paint. For my audition, I actually did a portrait of Mary. It has really made it easier to portray Lisette, I think. As an actress, you can pretend to sketch, but in my scenes, I was truly looking and taking in my subjects.” Matron Brannon (Suzanne Bertish) Matron Brannon is the formidable Irishwoman who knows and sees all at the hospital. Her loose job description seems to encompass not only housekeeping, but keeping the staff and volunteers in line.

Molecular mixology is the way of serving a drink in an unusual shape with un- conventional texture by using scientific approach to make drinker’s experience more interesting and to improve drink’s qualities. The purpose of the thesis was to understand the definition of molecular mixology and to investigate how to or- ganise the project connected with molecular cocktails. The theoretical section of the thesis covers the history of molecular mixology, its main principles and techniques. Likewise, thesis opens theoretical issues about legislation concerning promotion and serving of alcohol beverages. The infor- mation for the theoretical part was gathered mainly from different web articles, but also from literature. The empirical section presents the project “Molecular week”, which was carried out in the restaurant Bar&Bistro in December 2016. The final result of this thesis shows that Finnish people seem to be open for all innovations in bar industry and ready to pay for the new experience, according to the project implemented in Imatra. Moreover, perspectives of this bar study seem to be really optimistic.

Map of military installations around Alexandria, Virginia, in September 1862, from the Civil War memoir of Union soldier Robert Knox Sneden, whose 500 watercolors, maps and drawings are the largest collection of soldier art to survive the war. Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division/Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA Foreword The Civil War lives on in our imagination as a series of black and white photographs; stoic young men in uniform, fields strewn with bloated corpses, the smoldering ruins of a once proud city. It is a silent, static world, as if stilled by tragedy. But if our modern world is anything to judge by, war is vivid, chaotic, and noisy. It is above all a human experience filled with passion, tragedy, heroism, despair, and even, at times, unexpected humor. That is the story we went looking for. The series Mercy Street was largely inspired by the memoirs of doctors and female volunteer nurses who were in many ways the unsung heroes of the Civil War. For every soldier wounded in battle, there were dozens of caregivers behind the front lines selflessly trying to repair the physical and psychological damage.

Au XXIe siècle, le luxe s’est métamorphosé avec avant-gardisme, élégance et discrétion, il est devenu pluriel : hyper-luxe, luxe premium et luxe accessible ouvrent désormais l’univers à un public élargi en quête de sens et de beau, qui n’hésite plus à LUXE entrer dans un palace pour prendre le thé ou s’offrir un objet griffé.

Parce que Paris a su s’adapter au monde actuel en préservant son âme, visite sur- mesure pour voyageuses et voyageurs esthètes, épicuriens et connectés. PARIS L’HÔTELLERIE DE LUXE Le classement hôtelier français réactualisé et la création, en 2010 de la distinction « Palace » ont permis de choisir, parmi les établissements 5 étoiles, ceux qui présentent des caractéristiques d’exception et dont l’excellence mérite une officialisation. Appellation exclusive qui interdit tout établissement non retenu à utiliser la dénomination « palace » avec plaque réalisée par la Monnaie de Paris, prestigieuse institution membre du Comité Colbert, la distinction « Palace » est unique au monde, exception française oblige.
