While the Museum of Fine Arts had worked with The Ringling Collections as early as 1985 — borrowing Cypriot artifacts for an exhibition curated for the Classics department and thematic imagery for other exhibitions — the new relationship between Sarasota and Tallahassee has made possible a largesse of visiting artworks including: a newly restored European painting that allowed for a conservation lecture; exquisite Chinese ceramics; contemporary graphics and photography; Old Master drawings; Turkomen silver; and Rubens prints.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 230 – Type Forever!
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 230 – Type Forever! We are back with one of our biggest issues of the year covering all of the major matches happenings from the biggest weekend in wrestling of the entire year. Ben reviews and discusses WrestleMania 32, the post-Mania RAW, Takeover Dallas, and the Hall of Fame in-depth. Plus we have the largest and most extensive Mixed Bag segment yet with coverage of Shimmer, EVOLVE 58, EVOLVE 59, Mercury Rising, TakeOver, WrestleMania, and more! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter, Editor The Pro-Wres Digest for April 3rd – April 9th. @BenCarass. Top Stories: The sad news of Blackjack Mulligan's death was reported by WWE.com on 7/4, although the article didn't mention a cause or date of death. Mulligan, 73, had been battling health issues for years and suffered a heart attack in June 2015, which at the time Mulligan attributed to suffering from the ill- effects of The Bends after a diving incident years earlier. He was hospitalised earlier this year in February and his grandsons, Windham Rotunda (Bryan Wyatt) & Taylor Rotunda (Bo Dallas), along with their father Mike Rotunda, left the Monday Night RAW show in Dallas, TX and flew to Florida to be with Mulligan. There was no update on Mulligan's condition at all until the WWE story about his passing on 7/4. The strange thing in all of this is that up until two weeks ago – when all the concussion cases were thrown out of court – the WWE were actually suing Mulligan as a pre-emptive strike to stop him from jumping on the concussion lawsuits.
