David Hockney doesn’t struggle to innovate and redefine painting.  Instead, he just keeps doing his thing, using new tools.  He always willingly adopted new technologies.  Smartphones and tablets are no different.  He started working on an iPhone in 2009 and soon after that, he also started using an iPad.  David Hockney is British, but he spent a huge part of his life in Los Angeles.  In 2005 however, he moved to his country of origin for a couple of years, settling at Yorkshire, near the place he was born.  After some dramatic events in his life, he returned to L.A. nearly a decade later.  Before he did though, he painted some landscapes, including an absolutely massive piece, composed of 50 canvases.  Piotr Policht  See graphics at https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/david-hockney-old-master-painting-on-an-iphone/   

The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics.  The core concept is that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support—they generally only pursue policies that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options.  These policies lie inside the Overton Window.  Other policy ideas exist, but politicians risk losing popular support if they champion these ideas.  These policies lie outside the Overton Window.  But the Overton Window can both shift and expand, either increasing or shrinking the number of ideas politicians can support without unduly risking their electoral support.  Sometimes politicians can move the Overton Window themselves by courageously endorsing a policy lying outside the window, but this is rare.  More often, the window moves based on a much more complex and dynamic phenomenon, one that is not easily controlled from on high:  the slow evolution of societal values and norms.  The Overton Window was developed in the mid-1990s by the late Joseph P. Overton, who was senior vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy at the time of his death in 2003.  https://www.mackinac.org/OvertonWindow

People deploy the word juggernaut to describe anyone or anything that seems unstoppable, powerful, dominant.  The Golden State Warriors basketball team is a juggernaut.  National Economic Council director Gary Cohn is a “policymaking juggernaut.”  Online retailer Amazon is also a juggernaut.  Tennis player Roger Federer is a juggernaut at Wimbledon.  In Marvel Comics there is a supervillain named Juggernaut that possess seemingly infinite strength and invincibility.  The word, with its double hard g’s in the middle and the same final syllable as “astronaut,” is fun to say and connotes an individual bigger than our world.  This makes sense because the word “juggernaut” is the product of the collision between two forces, an encounter between two worlds:  the English-speaking West and India.  “Juggernaut” is the Anglicized name for the Hindu god Jagannath, the “Lord of the Universe.”  Jagannath, a form of the god Vishnu, presides over a massive temple in Puri, India alongside his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra.  The most famous ritual at the Puri temple is the Rath Yatra.  During the Rath Yatra the wooden forms of the gods are ceremonially placed on large towering carts, or chariots, and pulled through the streets of Puri by devotees.  “Juggernaut” entered the English language in the early nineteenth century as colonial Britons in India encountered Jagannath and his chariot and tried to make sense of what they were seeing.  Michael J.

DuBose Heyward, in full Edwin Dubose Heyward, (1885—1940), American novelist, dramatist, and poet whose first novel, Porgy (1925), was the basis for a highly successful play, an opera, and a motion picture.  Heyward first wrote poems:  Carolina Chansons (1922), a joint publication with Hervey Allen; Skylines and Horizons (1924); and Jasbo Brown and Selected Poems (1931).  Porgy was set in Catfish Row, a Charleston tenement street.  His other novels include Angel (1926), Peter Ashley (1932), and Star-Spangled Virgin (1939).  In 1927 Heyward and his wife Dorothy dramatized Porgy.  In 1935 the opera Porgy and Bess was produced with libretto and words by Heyward and Ira Gershwin and music by George Gershwin.  A motion-picture version appeared in 1959.  His other plays include Brass Ankle (1931), about miscegenation, and Mamba’s Daughters, also dramatized by Heyward and his wife from the novel (1929).  J.E.

Persillade is a French parsley sauce used to season a variety of foods.  The pesto like mixture of parsley, finely chopped with garlic, oil and acid such as vinegar or lemon juice has always been used in French cuisine.  Most often it is associated with oysters or snails.  Often times other aromatic herbs such as chives or mint are added to the sauce.  The name comes from the French word persil which means parsley.  The correct pronunciation for persillade is per-si-yad.  Milena Perrine  https://www.craftbeering.com/persillade-sauce-recipe-parsley/
