France Looking to Sell Flu Jab
After ordering many more shots than it actually needed, France is looking to sell millions of excess vaccines for the H1N1 flu virus, officials said on Sunday.
Artist Amie Antoniak
Amie Antoniak’s paintings are all based on her long-held fascination with sky and landscapes, some of which have been painted, quite literally, from new perspectives. An earlier collection involved a plane flight for inspiration and resulted in stunning landscapes painted from above the clouds for which Amie won a highly prestigious Royal Acadamy Landscape Painting Award. Since then she has taken the idea further and painted a series of paintings inspired by a hot air balloon ride over Yorkshire.
