Sex and the City: Carrie's Egg Chair


I think that this chair is a brilliant casting choice; its design perfectly mirrors Carrie's emotional state in this scene in the movie, and provides welcome shelter to her, even as Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte soak in the sun. In my interview with production designer Jeremy Conway, he told me that the wicker egg chair was from an outdoor furniture store in Los Angeles, where the Mexico vacation scenes were shot. However, if you're coveting this chair and aren't in LA, I have another source for you, which I'll tell you about when you read more.(link)

Catch the Egg

Egg, EGG

"Egg" is the 1970 debut album of British band Egg.

With a strong Canterbury influence implanted into their sound, Egg's first album has the band looking to establish their niche as a progressive group, with Dave Stewart's sharp, effective keyboard work outlining much of the album's overall feel. Mixing jazz and progressive rock drifts, the tracks on Egg contain rhythms and meters that are never at a standstill, with ongoing instrumental action encompassing nearly every track. Numerous classical overtones make for a familiar listen against a backdrop of loose-ended jazz fusion and an unordered yet inviting array of haphazard progressive spillages... More.

CBS Eggs

CBS complemented its traditional advertising strategy in 2006 with a large egg-focused campaign.

CBS teamed up with the company Eggfusion to print the CBS logo on 35 million fresh eggs.
CBS enlisted eggs in its scramble to attract viewers, promoting the TV network and its series appeared along with coded expiration dates on eggs sold by grocers — just another promotional measure in the competitive world of television.

More than 35 million eggs were marked with phrases such as "CSI: Crack the Case on CBS" and "The Class, New Grade-A CBS Comedy" as part of a deal between the CBS Marketing Group and EggFusion, an egg-coding company.

L'Œuf et Purkinje


Médecin, naturaliste, physiologiste et biologiste tchèque, Jan Evangelista PURKINJE (Purkyne; 1787 - 1869) est un des plus grands biologistes du XIXème siècle, bien peu connu malgré ses nombreuses découvertes d’importance mondiale.
En examinant les sillons des doigts, il jeta par exemple les bases de la dactyloscopie; il décrivit des cellules encore inconnues dans le cœur (cellules de Purkinje) et des fibres dans le cervelet (axones de Purkinje); il explora la vision (effet Purkinje : changements relatifs de perception des couleurs lors de l’adaptation de l’œil à l’obscurité) et les effets de médicaments (belladone, camphre, opium).

Il étudia l'œuf d’oiseau avant l’éclosion et en découvrit la cicatricule (tâche blanche sur le jaune d'œuf, qui renferme l'embryon).

Il s’inscrit aussi dans l’histoire par sa THÉORIE CELLULAIRE : il fut le premier à émettre l'idée que toutes les cellules végétales et animales sont composées de protoplasme.
On lui doit aussi le terme de plasma.

The Man Behind The Egg

Author: Craik - Sunday Times, 1903
Caricature représentant Bunau-Varilla et Roosevelt lors de la signature du
traité Hay-Bunau-Varilla.

Le traité Hay-Bunau-Varilla est signé le 18 novembre 1903 (deux semaines après l'indépendance de Panamá vis-à-vis de la Colombie) entre l'ingénieur français Philippe Bunau-Varilla et le secrétaire d'État américain John Hay.

Par ce traité, les États-Unis achètent la concession, les actions et les avoirs de la Compagnie nouvelle du canal de Panamá pour 40 millions de dollars.
Surnommé « le traité qu'aucun Panaméen a signé », cet accord est finalement accepté par le Panamá. Contre un paiement de 10 millions de dollars et une rente annuelle de 250 000 dollars, Panamá laisse aux États-Unis les droits à perpétuité sur le canal et sur une zone large de 8 kilomètres de chaque côté du tracé du canal.

Après de nombreuses protestations et négociations depuis les années 1970, le contrôle complet du canal par le Panama n'est acquis que le 31 décembre 1999.

Le titre de propriété américaine sur le canal a fait l'objet de nombreuses contestations dans les années 1970. Des négociations aboutirent à la signature, le 7 septembre 1977, du Traités de Torrijos-Carter signé par le président américain Jimmy Carter et le dirigeant panaméen Omar Torrijos : il mena au contrôle complet du canal par le Panamá le 31 décembre 1999.
Le canal est maintenant dirigé par l'Autorité du canal de Panamá.
