We found a cosy boutique B&B in San Francisco for you: richly decorated, the Monte Cristo B&B has an intriguing history. It was a bordello, a saloon, a refuge for the homeless after the 1906 earthquake and in the 20s it was a speakeasy. Today, it’s one of the hotels we 💚 and you can book it with us ✨
【破開枷鎖】
在希臘神話中，普羅米修斯看見人類困苦，於是從太陽神阿波羅偷取了「火」並送給了他們，從此為人類帶來「光明與文明」，但正因如此他受到宙斯極殘酷的懲罰：他被綁在高加索的高山上，每天禿鷹吃掉他的肝臟，但由於肝臟又會重新長出來，令普羅米修斯日復一日承受痛苦。
這個故事一直與不同時代的西方藝術家產生共鳴，並由此創作出大量相關的作品。此作品中可見壯麗但凶險的懸崖上，縛住了一位人物，正是大名鼎鼎的普羅米修斯，畫面最突出之處是視野極為開闊，氣勢磅礡。
此畫出自於美國畫家托馬斯．科爾之手，他擅長繪畫風景，其描繪自然風光的技法甚有影響力，在此畫中亦展現出其功架。他熟練地渲染日出灑在雪山上的光線，突出了巍峨的雪山和寒冷的天空，呈現出一片荒涼之景，懸在崖上的普羅米修斯則彷彿與山合二為一，其絕望與悲憤，正好與四周的環境互相襯托。
由於科爾支持廢除奴隸制度，不少藝術研究者認為，畫家透過繪畫這神話故事，表現他「廢奴主義」的思想。尤其是將普羅米修斯捆綁在石山上的枷鎖，表現出他對奴隸制的不滿，及其對自由解放的渴望。

When thinking of California, you may think of San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego, but the Golden State is also home to some smaller towns and villages that are equally picturesque. Located on Catalina Island, with a rich history that dates back thousands of years, Avalon will remind people of the Mediterranean with its lush vegetation, hillside homes, and beautiful, clear waters!

BEN Simmons had a triple double on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers despite missing more mid-range jump shots during his warm-up than you’re likely to ever see by a professional basketballer.
He had 14 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds in a wildly-entertaining 121-110 win despite going missing for long periods in the game.
He became just the second player in NBA history to post two triple doubles in his first nine games despite turning the ball over five times, getting called for two charges and missing eight of his 13 field goal attempts.
If ever anyone has played the game Ice Cube raps about in It Was A Good Day it was Simmons against the Pacers. He truly “f***ed around and got a triple double.”
Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd recently described his own burgeoning superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo as a plane that was ascending but had only reached 10,000 feet.
Well, Simmons can still see the runway in his rear-view mirror and he’s already reaching heights only Oscar Robertson has climbed.
“It’s just amazing to me, there’s nothing else I can really say about it,” Simmons said, when notified of his latest feat.
“It’s an honour to be there.”
KOBE: ‘HE’S A PHENOMENAL PLAYER’
It’s performances like Saturday’s that have seen Simmons capture the attention of NBA royalty, including Kobe Bryant who told news.com.au Australian fans should be buzzing about the talent they have on their hands.
“He’s a phenomenal player,” Bryant said in New York this week. “He’s just getting started too.”
Simmons has been forced to get use to such lofty praise in the past few weeks as everyone from Dominique Wilkins to LeBron James have heralded his game.
But getting the tick of approval from Bryant meant a lot to the 20-year-old from Melbourne, when news.com.au passed on the message in the locker room before he took on Indiana.
“From Kobe, that’s awesome to hear,” Simmons said. “From one of the greatest to ever play the game, that means a lot. But I got a long way to go so I’ll stay in the gym.”
The Simmons camp is starting to get word of the groundswell of support building for him Down Under too. It’s not quite at the same level as Jarryd Hayne experienced during his time with the San Francisco 49ers yet, but Simmons has only just begun and this journey will likely last 10-15 years.
“Now he’s getting triple doubles it’s buzzing here so I can only imagine what it’s like there,” his father, former NBL player Dave Simmons, told news.com.au after the siren.
“I definitely know I get a lot of support from Australia,” added Ben. “When I’m playing I’m really playing for me, my family, my team and Australia. So that means a lot. And I’ve always really played that way.”
Simmons confirmed he was targeting the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, a tantalising prospect for a Boomers program which finished fourth in Rio last year.
But first he’s determined to reignite basketball in Philly — and the City of Brotherly Love is falling fast.
