Possessing the largest number of paintings by Horace Vernet, the Palace of Versailles pays a brilliant tribute to this painter who knew how to combine imagination and history to reach all audiences, and whose career spanned five successive political regimes.

Grandson and son of the illustrious painters Joseph and Carle Vernet, Horace Vernet (1789 – 1863) must have been born with a pencil in his hand. Trained in his father’s Parisian workshop where he became friends with Théodore Géricault (1791-1824), future hero of romantic painting, the young artist cultivated very early the keen sense of observation inherited from his father. Familiar with circuses and carousels, Horace also shared the family passion for equines, an essential interest in being able to paint these military paintings so dear to the 19th century.

In 2021, 4.2 million people were identified as diabetic by health insurance in France. On the other hand, 3.6 million people benefited from medication treatment, or 5.4% of the French population. Worldwide, the prevalence rate is 6.1%, which makes diabetes one of the ten main causes of disability and mortality worldwide. In other words, diabetes affects a large part of the population, and tech companies seem to want to contribute to a potential solution.

So, I just want to tell you, can you try it like this, lying down? You just tell me, here it is, the first half of the text” asked the interpreter I love you to the young man.

Without a frown, Pierre then executedstarting to sing You didn’t give me time David Hallyday stretched out. An interpretation that truly liberated the semi-finalistunable to hold back her tears at the end of her performance: “Are you okay Peter?” Lara Fabian then asked him, “It’s so weird.” recognized the young man, unable to stop crying, before she took him in her arms. Without really understanding what had just happened to him, the one who recently worried his fans following his weight loss admitted that this exercise did him good: “I feel better” he then said to Lara Fabian, before detailing his feelings in the confessional: “I’m quite modest, I’m not too emotional and everything. And I have the impression that she was able to read so much in me that even I mightn’t see in the end. I think it’s a moment I’ll never forget, that’s for sure. I’m just going to say thank you because I think it will help me.” he confided. A relief for the academician, but also a beautiful moment of sharing between two artists.

North Dakota Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms Retires: Impact on Oil Industry and Search for Successor

State Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms

BISMARCK, N.D. (North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota Director of Mineral Resources Lynn Helms, the state’s expert on oil during the Bakken boom, announced Wednesday that he is retiring.

Helms made his announcement at a meeting of the North Dakota Industrial Commission.

“Words cannot begin to describe the immense value that Lynn Helms has brought to North Dakota,” Industrial Commission members said in a joint statement. “Under his leadership, our state has emerged as an energy powerhouse, in addition to being a global leader in carbon management.”

The Industrial Commission is made up of Gov. Doug Burgum, Attorney General Drew Wrigley and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring.

During the meeting, Helms called his departure “bittersweet.”

Helms was appointed to lead the Oil and Gas Division in 1998. In 2005, the Oil and Gas Division merged with the North Dakota Geological Survey and was reorganized as the Department of Mineral Resources, where Helms has continued to serve as director.

In the coming years, oil production would take off in northwest North Dakota, which is now the state’s third largest producer of crude oil.

During Helms’ tenure, North Dakota’s average daily oil production increased from 99,217 barrels per day in 1998 to an all-time high of 1,519,037 in 2019 before stabilizing at roughly 1.2 million barrels per day by the end of 2023, according to the Industrial Commission.

The state is projected to produce its 5 billionth barrel of oil this year.

Helms’ retirement is effective June 30.

The Industrial Commission approved a search committee to find a replacement for Helms.

The search committee will consist of representatives from the Office of the Industrial Commission, representatives from each of the three commissioners’ offices, two members of the Oil and Gas Research Council, the director of the North Dakota Pipeline Authority and a staff adviser from the Department of Mineral Resources.

Commissioners thanked Helms for his “highly capable and balanced approach” to regulatory oversight.

Critics have, at times, accused Helms of being a cheerleader for the oil industry.

Burgum said he was hoping for Helms’ help in the search for a successor.

“I will help out in every way that I can,” Helms said. “It’s a fun job.”
