Illinois will institute a 10-day tax holiday on school supplies and working families and teachers can expect to have reduced shopping costs ahead of the upcoming school year, thanks to support from State Senator Patrick Joyce. “For educators and working families, back-to-school shopping can be a stressful time due to the costs of new items needed for every school year,” said Joyce (D-Essex). “Institut ing a tax holiday will help relieve burdensome costs in order to ensure students are prepared for the upcoming school year.”
“The Color Is” will consist of 40-45 couture looks and fashion objects created by Nick Cave and Jack Cave and a num ber of specialty collaborators. All works including head-to-toe garments have been constructed from a wide variety of materials including beads, wire, sequins, recycled textiles and custom prints. The ensembles feature intricate layering that is emblematic of human universality, high lighting intricacy, complexity, color, and uniqueness. According to both Nick and Jack Cave the clothing is genderless, and the more than 400 individual items can be composed into limitless looks, all designed and crafted by the artists. “The Color Is” also contains an education component which highlights the exhibition themes, references and history through digital animation, film montag es, extensive explanatory text and high resolution still images. There will be some surprise audio visual elements featured in the exhibition as well as on the DuSable Museum website and the Bloomberg Connects app. All objects in the exhibition were created for both “The Color Is” live performance and “The Color Is” exhibi tion as a companion exhibition of NICK CAVE FOROTHERMORE and are Nick Cave’s most recent body of created work, often referencing work of his retrospec tive contemporary art archive. The pieces have been created within the past 9 to 12 months.“Iam proud to be able to showcase so many facets of the Black experience through fashion, especially alongside my brother, Nick, “said Jack Cave. “The pro cess of being able to combine both of our individual styles and work them into one fluid exhibit that educates and celebrates everything from sustainability, queer lib eration, and Black presence in mainstream high fashion has been an honor.” “We are thrilled and honored to work with these brilliant artists to exhibit their amazing works of wearable art at the DuSable. This unique exhibit and accom panying educational activities are a prime example of our goals and inspiration for our recent rebranding as both a museum and education center. We recognize the importance of presenting Black artists personal creative journeys as well as the cultural influences that inform their art and sharing that vision with young people and communities from which they came. Nick and Jack Cave’s imperative to bring their work into the heart of the Black community expresses not only their personal philosophy but also the mission of the DuSable. We are also excited to continue our partnership with the MCA in mounting this exhibition during the run of FOROTHERMORE, which allows visitors to experience Nick’s work in both locations and from multiple perspectives –a groundbreaking approach that stems from our strong collaborative partnership,” said Perri Irmer, President and CEO of The DuSable Museum. “The DuSable Black History Muse um and Education Center celebrates the multilayered, elements of Black culture that Nick Cave and Jack Cave’s brilliant work is steeped in,” said Danny Dunson, Director of Curatorial Services and Com munity Partnerships. “Our presentation of The Color Is, positions Nick Cave’s and Jack Cave’s art practices within the heart of Chicago’s African American communi ty. The South Side community represents what continues to inspire both Cave broth ers as artists and activists.” Fashion has been a natural part of the Cave brother’s artistic practice. Growing up with five aunts who sewed, Nick and Jack Cave had an early interest in material culture and construction. The brothers are inspired by the homey-whimsical interiors of their grandparent’s home that contained African American handicraft traditions, such as quilting and crochet. Both Nick and Jack Cave studied fiber arts as under graduates at the Kansas City Art Institute where they first learned to sew. In the 1980’s the brothers would create fashion spectaculars together. “The Color Is “exhibition has been curated for the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center by Danny Dunson, Director of Curatorial Services and Community Partnerships; fabricat ed by Martin Giese, Vice President of Exhibitions and Collections and Brenda Liboy, Lead Exhibitions Designer. The exhibition has been in development since 2021 and initially was shown as a live performance at The Art Edge Gala produced and presented by the MCA and held at the historic Daniel Burnham de signed Roundhouse of the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center “The Color Is” is a companion exhibition to “NICK CAVE: FOROTHERMORE,” a city-wide celebration of the Chica go-based artist.

Chicago’s new safe digging ‘ambassadog’ is Finnegan, a rescue pup who once lived on the streets and now has a closet full of fancy clothes
Combined Final Environmental Impact Statement, Record of Decision, and Section 4(f) Evaluation for the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line Extension Project
Chicago — Peoples Gas today unveiled Finnegan — a dog made up of 17 different breeds who moved here from the South — as the company’s new safe digging “ambassadog.” Finnegan’s new job title was announced this morning at Lincoln Park Zoo, where the pup proudly stood before cameras.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), announce the availability of the combined Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Record of Decision (combined Final EIS/ROD) and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation for the Red Line Extension (RLE) Project on the Far South Side of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois. The combined Final EIS/ROD and Section 4(f) Evaluation was issued on August 12, 2022.
Finnegan became Chicago’s safe digging ambassadog after entering the Peoples Gas “Doggone it!” contest, in which customers send in photos of their dogs digging. The public then voted online to decide which pupper won — and was impressed by Finnegan’s distinguished demeanor, fierce digging, and of course his wardrobe. For the next year, Finnegan will be fea tured in Peoples Gas promotional campaigns to raise awareness about safe digging and the importance of dialing 811 at least 48 hours before starting any digging project.
Finnegan — whose full name is Finnegan Clover Clovington (and whose shorter nickname is simply “Finn”) — has a rags-toriches backstory. He moved to Chicago from rural Mississippi after being discovered in an abandoned house. A Peoples Gas customer who lives in the Ravenswood neighborhood then met him at an adoption event and fell in love with him.On the inside, Finnegan is a mi x of labrador retriever, beagle, terrier, Australian cattle dog, chow chow, rottweiler, German shepherd, and ten other breeds. On the outside, he is 100% dapper. Finnegan has his own personal collection of bowties, neckties and bandanas. He also owns a tuxedo.Finnegan has his own Instagram page, on which he can be seenmodeling his fancy duds. His account is @finnegan_clover.

I couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of you. May you never forget the power that language has to inspire hearts, move minds, and change worlds. Here’s to the next generation of Poets Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning writers.”
The Gwendolyn Brooks Youth Poetry Awards competition runs annually from October through May and is open to young Illinoisans in grades K–12.

Gwendolyn Brooks began the Youth Poetry Awards in 1969 during her tenure as Illinois Poet Laureate, and continued to administer the awards until her passing in 2000. The original youth poetry awards were born out of Ms. Brooks’ belief that a poet laureate, “should do more than wear a crown—[she] should be of service to the young.” In 2017, in honor of the centennial of Ms. Brooks’s birth, Illinois Human ities joined with the Poetry Foundation, Brooks Permissions, and the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts to revive the awards to honor the tremendous legacy of Gwendolyn Brooks, the first Black person ever to win a Pulitzer Prize, and to celebrate and amplify the words and experiences of young poets from across Illinois.

COMFORTING COLOR
Fill your home with balance and hope (Family Features) In the world of design, what’s old inevitably becomes new again, and a similar pattern is inspiring today’s on-trend color palettes for home decor.
Timeless Color Using color to evoke feelings and emotions is hardly new but combining a carefully curated color palette with other design elements can allow you to create a look that pays homage to the past while breathing new life into your living Reimaginingspace. classic, familiar tones allows you to achieve a design motif that is equal parts reminiscent and refreshing. “The Vintage Homestead Color Collection offers an effortless look that reveals the importance of being hope ful to find stability and balance,” said Ashley Banbury, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams senior color designer. “Our 2023 Color Collection of the Year revives elements from the past that are perfectly paired with vintage, com fortable and classic colors.” Blending Past and Present Striking a balance between old and new can take many forms, as these styles show: • Heritage Revival: An interest in reviving the past is evident in design trends like a remerging appreciation of antiques and vintage elements, such oversized furniture and traditional shapes. To capture this style, your design should focus on contrasting old and new for a mix-andmatch look. Ultimately, the aesthetic is a look that feels simultaneously individualistic and curated. A cohesive color scheme can allow the various elements to stand on their own while working in harmony for an intentional design. For example, the HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams 2023 Color Collection of the Year includes a combination of familiar tones that have been thoughtfully curated by design experts who borrow color and design concepts from the past for a hopeful future and a sense of belonging. Hues like Poetry Plum and Hot Cocoa evoke warmth and depth, while moderate shades like Restrained Gold and Glamour offer fresh ways to incorporate mid-range neutrals. Meanwhile, soft tones like Natural Linen and Cool Beige offer subtle color for lighter, brighter spaces.
• Mixing and Matching of Eras: A new take on retro design is emerging in which eras are blended and new and old furnishing work side by side. To get this look, you’ll craft a space that marries historical and contempo rary design, celebrating both the old and new. To design for longevity, incorporate pieces that are ambiguous in era and stand the test of time.
The latest styles reflect reviving and comforting colors influenced by heritage and romance, lending to a look that is familiar in an individualistic way. With more people living their everyday, working lives at home, many homeowners are discovering the contentment that comes with slowing down. Often that means looking to the past to find comfort for moving forward.Nostalgia serves as an emotional tool that delivers deep-rooted serenity and powerful healing properties. Looking to the past is often beneficial during times of uncertainty and can be an opportunity to bring styles and practices back to the present to create an appreciation of the past.Whether living through the romance of rural life styles, the comfort of home or the nostalgia from far-off times, some of today’s most beloved design aesthetics celebrate the past, present and future while bringing balance, hope and comfort for you and your family to embrace.
• Vintage Homestead: Reviving design elements from the past with mixed patterns, classic shapes and vintage decor adds up to comfortable and comforting design. With this trend, prints and patterns encompass a range of styles, reinforcing how interiors connect to fash ion. Mixing classic elegance with sleek vintage shapes is refining the concept of polished comfort. To achieve the look, curate pieces in heritage shapes and patterns, along with retro accents. Be sure to incorporate vintage lighting and glass, as well. A versatile color choice like Darkroom, the 2023 Color of the Year from HGTV Home by Sherwin-Wil liams, is an alluring shade that is classic enough for heritage interiors but also modernly retro for a throw back-inspired aesthetic. It’s a neutral perfect for creating an eclectic yet modern look inside and out. Indoors, use it on the walls to offset more earthy brown and taupe tones in your furnishings and textiles. Get inspired to combine the past with the present for a comforting design that’s all your own at hgtvhomeby sherwinwilliams.com. Crafting a Conservatory Today’s homeowners are also increasingly inter ested in biophilic design and bringing the outdoors in, which prompts a conservatory aesthetic in home design. To achieve the look, design your space to make maxi mum use of natural light in creative ways. Incorporate large potted trees and statement plants that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors.
(Family Features) The fresh flavor of favorite foods pulled hot off the grill makes summer cookouts a treasured pastime for families across the country.

PASADENA, Calif., PRNewswire -- A unique testing method invented at the University of Birmingham is set for a global rollout after its commercial rights were licensed to the world’s largest COVID-19 test provider, Innova Medical Group – a California-based global health screen ing and diagnostics innovator and a world leader in the manufacture and distribution of COVID-19 rapid tests. Known as Reverse Transcription-Free EXPAR (RTF-EXPAR) testing, this new technol ogy offers detection in as little as 10 minutes. Reverse Transcription-Free EXPAR (RTF-EXPAR) testing offers detection in as little as 10Detailedminutes.test evaluations reveal the method delivers a fast, accurate, highly sensitive and simple test for COVID-19 detection, meaning the test could be deployed en masse at entertainment venues, airport arrival terminals, and in remote settings where clinical testing laboratories are not available. The method is just as sensitive as both PCR and LAMP tests - currently used in hospital settings - and is also faster and more sensitive than lateral flow tests, enabling detection at low vi ral levels. Crucially, it can be used with testing techniques which bypass the need for specialized laboratory equipment, which would reduce delays in waiting for test results, which currently requires samples to be sent to specialist laboratories. The assay was invented and tested at the University of Bir mingham, which found its sensitivity to be equivalent to quan titative PCR testing. This new RTF-EXPAR testing platform is also being adapted for the detection of other viruses, meaning the tests can be quickly adapted to cover both new variants and new viruses. The technology’s new license holder, Innova Medical Group, is the world’s largest provider of lateral flow tests. The company is aiming to accelerate RTF-EXPAR’s global rollout for widespread use by 2023. The approach behind RTF uses reagents that can be adapted for the detection of other viruses, meaning the tests can be quick ly adapted to cover both new variants and other viruses, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer
Professor James Tucker from the University of Birming ham added, “EXPAR amplifies DNA at a single temperature, thus avoiding lengthy heating and cooling steps found in PCR; however, while LAMP also uses a single temperature for amplification, EXPAR is a simpler and a more direct process in which much smaller strands are amplified making it an even faster DNA amplification technique than not only PCR but also LAMP.”For more information on Innova Medical Group, please visit: https://innovamedgroup.com/
Since the COVID-19 pandemic’s outbreak, Innova Medical Group has delivered more than 1.5 billion lateral flow tests to customers world wide. With this new licensing agreement under scoring its nimble approach and commitment to innovate, the company aims to provide effective, high-quality diagnostic products at reasonable prices to more people around the world. “The RTF test rapidly amplifies small quantities of viral genetic material, producing a detectable signal within 10 minutes, which is much faster than PCR or LAMP testing and even quicker than lateral flow tests,” said Professor Tim Dafforn from the University of Birmingham. “The reverse transcription and amplification steps slow down existing COVID-19 assays like LAMP and PCR, which are based on nucleic acid detection, thus an ideal test would be both sufficiently sensitive and speedy; the new RTF test achieves that goal in two ways - a new RNA-toDNA conversion step we designed avoids reverse transcription and the amplification step to generate the read-out signal uses EXPAR, an alternative DNA amplification process.”
