It is not news that Bugatti makes very expensive automobiles. A Bugatti Chiron, the brand's basic model, costs about million. Bugatti's latest creation, though, sets a new bar in price and exclusivity. Bugatti's La Voiture Noire cost €16.7 million, or almost million, including taxes. Before taxes, the car cost .5 million.According to Bugatti, La Voiture Noire is the most expensive new car ever sold and only one will be made. Bugatti did not reveal the identity of the buyer. It is someone with an enormous attachment to the Bugatti brand, the automaker said. It's also clearly someone with immense financial resources.Bugatti's new La Voiture Noire is designed to recall the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic of the 1930s. Only four of those cars were made and, today, they're among the most valuable cars in the world. They can be worth more than million, according to Hagerty Insurance, a company that tracks collector car values. One of those cars became known as "La Voiture Noire" which means simply, the black car. Only three are known to survive. The fourth seems to have disappeared shortly before the German invasion of France during World War II. Its whereabouts remain unknown.The Type 57 SC Atlantic was designed by Jean Bugatti, son of Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti, at a time when the bodies for most high-end cars were created by separate body makers rather than by the automobile companies themselves. 1443

In case you¡¯re wondering how an arrest in NYC goes down. The guy has made absolutely no indication that he would flee or fight and wasn¡¯t trying to hide.If you can¡¯t see, the reason everyone moved was because all the police had taken out their guns and aimed at him. pic.twitter.com/dAstrtMntz¡ª Elad Nehorai (@PopChassid) October 25, 2019 350

It is a joyous time for Virginia junior guard Kyle Guy. Not only is Guy getting to participate in this weekend's Final Four, Guy is engaged to get married. But it turns out one joyous occasion is playing havoc with another one. Guy and his fiancee removed their wedding registry after a link to their registry became public. According to the Washington Post, Guy said he was told that having a wedding registry would affect Guy's college eligibility. So no wedding registry, at least not yet. ¡°Yeah, that was crazy to me that that¡¯s illegal because that¡¯s what a registry¡¯s for,¡± Guy told the media on Thursday. ¡°Yeah, NCAA said it was illegal, so I¡¯m not going to argue with it right now. I¡¯m going to try to win a national championship, and we¡¯ll open that book.¡±Apparently Guy had launched the registry -- no word on where they're registered -- which became public knowledge through the Busted Coverage sports blog, the Post reported. The blog's founder then received a cease and desist letter from the university claiming that sharing the registry link could cause Guy to lose his eligibility. That's when Guy and his fiancee removed the registry. But NCAA President Mark Emmert said a registry is permissible as long as it is private. "Nobody in the NCAA said anything of the sort," Emmert told USA Today. "We don't know what the source of that information was. ... It's certainly not the case that it's a violation of NCAA rules." A university spokesperson told the USA Today that the university does not "desire to interrupt typical gift giving practices." 1575

It is a common sight this time of year---Amazon delivering packages, but this time it's some of Baltimore's 4,000 employees of the company helping it deliver 2,000 so-called "boxes of smiles" to those who need them the most in the city."This includes toys, gifts, items of personal care and so and so forth," said Amazon Operations Director Preet Virdi as workers brought the gifts into the City Hall Rotunda.The need for such essentials became evident earlier this year when the city attempted to put a number on its disenfranchised citizens."We have approximately 2500 men, women and children who were experiencing an episode of homelessness at that time," said City Homeless Services Director Jerrianne Anthony.For those who have experienced life without a roof over their head, the boxes of smiles represent far more than a collection of gifts and essentials."Amazing. Amazon. The gifts. We need them. We need the Mayor's Office of Human Services, because without them, we have no hope," Sakina Ilyas told the crowd.But once she stepped out of the spotlight of this staged event, Ilyas opened up about her own experience with her family's past homelessness."It was very, very stressful especially during the holidays. No family. Nowhere to go,¡± said Ilyas. ¡°The problem here in Baltimore City is lack of housing. Lack of affordable housing. There are over 17,000 abandoned houses that are just sitting there."In the meantime, just 10 days from now, on December 20, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City will no longer accept applications for public housing, citing a waiting list of 14,000 that averages seven years to deliver.While the unexpected gifts, along with a check for ,000 are appreciated, Ilyas is left pondering the obvious."More is needed, because when this is gone, the stage is set, the curtain is open, but what happens when it's over?"The city did adopt a three-year action plan on homelessness earlier this year with the goal of combining action, results and concrete steps to address the problem. 2036

In the heart of Silicon Valley, people are keeping a pulse on a new product, as techies transition to foodiesAt Vina Enoteca, a restaurant located a few blocks from Stanford University, staff serve up new plant-based proteins.¡°We had a spike on the pizza with Impossible Meat,¡± says owner Rocco Scordella.Scordella put products created by the company Impossible Foods on his menu a few years ago. Now, they account for 20 percent of his pizza sales.¡°I think it¡¯s as close as it can get,¡± Scordella says. ¡°That¡¯s why I think when a lot of meat eaters taste it they¡¯re like, ¡®Oh, wow. This is close to real meat.'"That¡¯s the idea behind Impossible Foods, one of the top plant-based protein companies in the country. The company gave us an all-access inside look at their lab, showing us the science of turning plants into meaty-tasting patties.¡°The Impossible Burger is made of actually just four really simple categories of ingredients,¡± Laura Kliman, Impossible Foods senior flavor scientist, says. ¡°We have proteins, our nutrients which generate flavor; we have our binders and we have fat.¡± They also use the blood red liquid hemoglobin.¡°Heme is what makes meat taste like meat,¡± Kliman explains. ¡°It¡¯s an iron containing molecule that is found in every living plant and animal and is essential for life.¡±This food tech startup was founded by a Stanford University biochemistry professor and a team of scientists back in 2011. After studying meat at the molecular level, they launched Impossible Burger 2.0 in 2014 and the sales have skyrocketed¡°Since then, we have grown from about 5,000 restaurants in January 2019 to now more than 9,000 restaurants that are serving the Impossible Burger,¡± Rachel Konrad, Impossible Foods chief communications officer.Those restaurants include some of the biggest fast food franchises in the world.¡°Just in the past six weeks, you¡¯ve seen Burger King and Little Caesars jump on this trend,¡± Konrad says. ¡°They¡¯re both rolling out the Impossible Burger and the Impossible Sausage."Impossible Foods hopes to increase that demand by launching in grocery stores later this year.With a starting price point on par with grassfed beef and going down from there.¡°If we want to make a product that is affordable for many, we need to be using ingredients that are really part of the food chain now,¡± says David Lipman, Impossible Foods chief science officer.Lipman claims his team¡¯s plant-based foods are better for your health and the environment.¡°Animal-based agriculture has been possibly the most damaging thing we are doing to the planet,¡± he says. ¡°We can get the ingredients we need just from the earth at a 20th the amount of space and land, much lower water usage. So, we want to cut out that middle man and make the use of animals and agriculture no longer needed.¡±Cattle rancher Joe Morris, however, disagrees with those claims. ¡°First of all, they haven¡¯t been around really to understand if that¡¯s true or not,¡± he says. ¡°Whereas actually beef has been around since people have been people.¡±Morris¡¯ family¡¯s business T.O. Cattle Company is one of California¡¯s oldest beef companies, dating back to the Gold Rush era. He believes in tradition over technology.¡°The people that are doing plant-based proteins are doing it with good intentions,¡± he says. ¡°But there¡¯s a failure to understand the ecology of just ecology and they really don¡¯t know much about agriculture.¡±Instead, Morris says whatever damage caused by animal agriculture has to be healed by holistic animal agriculture.¡°The animals are incredible creatures and they do amazing work," he says. "And the results of their work is biodiversity beauty water in the ground. The plant-based proteins, there¡¯s no romance, there¡¯s no beauty there.¡±When it comes to customers, however, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ¡°It¡¯s good,¡± says a man who bought an Impossible Burger from Burger King. ¡°I could hardly tell it wasn¡¯t a regular beef patty.¡±This customer also tells us that he added bacon to his plant-based protein patty. 4039
