As the holiday season approaches, a time traditionally marked by giving, one Miami resident who has dedicated his life to giving back is now in need of help. Dustin Hurtt, a former lead instructor for web development at Ironhack, is currently battling aggressive cancer and is seeking support from the community during this challenging time. Dustin has spent years teaching aspiring tech professionals, guiding them to successful careers in the software development industry. His teaching has had a profound impact on the lives of many students, several of whom have gone on to achieve notable success in their fields. However, after undergoing lung removal surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City earlier this year, Dustin’s battle with cancer has taken an unexpected turn. While the surgery initially seemed to remove all cancerous tissue, recent tests showed that some cancer remains, necessitating costly and experimental treatments. One such treatment is a Phase I trial through the Jaime Leandro Foundation, which offers hope but is not covered by insurance. To help with the substantial financial burden, Dustin has launched a GoFundMe campaign, hoping the community will rally around him as he faces this life-or-death situation. "I’ve had the privilege of helping people change their lives," Dustin said, reflecting on his years as an educator. "Now, as I fight for my life, I draw strength from the students I've mentored, and I hope that the lessons I imparted to them will help me now." Dustin’s former students have been vocal about the impact he had on their lives and careers. Nikita Valovyy, a Miami-area graduate, described Dustin as more than just a teacher: “Dustin didn’t just teach me to code, he unlocked a career I once thought was out of reach. His belief in me was invaluable.” Similarly, Juan Camilo Reyes praised Dustin’s influence: “He was not only an amazing mentor but also an incredible human being. His dedication to his students has left a lasting impact on our lives.” Another former student, Alexander Torres Rivera, highlighted Dustin’s support during tough times. “Dustin’s patience and guidance were crucial in my success. He matched my effort with unwavering support, and that made all the difference.” Despite the difficult prognosis, Dustin remains determined to continue his fight, both for his health and for the values he holds dear. “I’m afraid to die, but I want to continue making a positive impact on the world,” he said, emphasizing his desire to continue doing good for others. As the holiday season of giving begins, Dustin is thankful for the outpouring of love and support he has received so far. “The contributions, whether financial or emotional, mean the world to me,” he said. "I am truly grateful for the community that has supported me throughout my career, and I hope they will continue to stand by me as I face this new challenge." Stephanie Menjivar, a former colleague at Ironhack, expressed her support for Dustin during this difficult time. "Dustin’s work has touched so many lives, and now he needs the support of the same community he helped build. I encourage anyone who believes in the power of education and community to contribute to his campaign."

Miami, Florida, is one of the more tropical states in the US. This can make caring for your dog a challenge, especially when weather conditions are on the extreme side. Preventing dog illnesses is always the best way to save on your vet bills, but having good pet insurance is another safeguard against the unexpected. Let’s explore the most common dog illnesses in Florida and discuss how you can counteract the risks.  Climate Conditions in Florida During the summer months, Florida gets extremely humid. Humidity coupled with rainy weather creates a hotbed for ticks, fleas, and common skin irritations. Dog parks are not immune to these pests, and neither are foliage areas near beaches. Winter presents its own challenges to the health of your dog, which is why it’s so important to educate yourself on how to prevent common illnesses and observe your dog for any signs of disease.  Preventative Care for Your Dogs The first step you should be taking to prevent illness in your dog is to expect that at some point in their lives, they will need to visit a veterinarian. Getting pet insurance for dogs and cats in Tampa  is especially important, since this allows you to visit your vet regularly (whether for a checkup or an emergency.  Another step is to equip yourself with a different tick & flea barrier once every year. Since ticks and fleas tend to develop immunity to these substances, choosing a different one each time you make a purchase will give your dog more protection throughout the year.  Thirdly, remember to keep up with your dog’s vaccinations. Your local vet will know what diseases are most common in your area and suggest the most fitting vaccinations to keep them safe from rabies, distemper, and other ailments.  Common Dog Illnesses in Florida Vet visits in Florida are often associated with the following common ailments. We’ll give you some information about each one so that you’re more equipped on how to notice them if your dog is showing symptoms.  Leptospirosis Vaccinations can safeguard your dog from contracting leptospirosis, an often fatal disease that attacks the liver and kidneys. Dogs that love exploring are exposed to contaminated water, especially during rainy weather. It’s this water that is mainly responsible for this disease, so keep your dog’s vaccinations up to date. If your dog is vomiting, has diarrhea, or is showing white gums, take them to the vet immediately.  Lyme Disease and Ehrlichiosis Some ticks are more dangerous than others. Red ticks, in particular, are responsible for spreading both Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis , which can quickly cause extreme lethargy and loss of bladder control in your dog.  Heartworm Disease Heartworm disease is probably one of the most common illnesses found in Florida dogs. If your dog is quickly losing weight and coughing more than usual, this may be the culprit. Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes, so look out for this one, especially during hot months.  Parvo Puppies are more prone to contracting parvo than older dogs. Symptoms include lethargy and loss of appetite, as well as vomiting and diarrhea. The only way to prevent parvo is to make sure your dog has had all their shots since this disease can be easily contracted and is fatal.  Dehydration Another common problem vets see in Florida dogs is dehydration. When the weather is hot, and water isn’t freely accessible, dogs can quickly show symptoms of excessive drooling, panting, and eventual collapse.  Keeping Your Dog Healthy Always make sure your dog has plenty of water. In Florida, this is often the most important aspect of caring for your dog, especially if they have thick fur. Also, remember that diet plays a major role  in your dog’s energy levels and immune system. Thoroughbred dogs should always eat a vet-approved brand that contains essential oils, protein, and lots of vitamins & minerals in it.  Indoor Dogs vs Outdoor Dogs Even if your dog spends most of its time inside your home, don’t think they aren’t susceptible to these common illnesses. Many of these viruses could be lurking in your backyard, not to mention contracted from other dogs or even cats.  Outdoor dogs that love being taken for a walk will do a lot of exploring. They may drink water that’s contaminated with something or pick up a leftover bone or carcass while sniffing around. Keep an eye on your dog, and always visit your vet as soon as you can if you notice something off about their behavior.  Final Thoughts As we can see, dogs in Florida can experience illnesses that may not be as common in other states. But fortunately vets have become more adept at countering the most common ailments. Utilize the measures given to you by your local vet to keep ticks and fleas off your dog’s skin. Also, make sure you feed your dogs a healthy and balanced diet so that their immune systems are strong whether they spend most of their time indoors or outdoors.  By ML Staff. Images/Unsplash

The FedExCup Fall standings were finalized at The RSM Classic, with players finishing in the top 125 securing access to all Full-Field Events and THE PLAYERS Championship in 2025. Other competitive consequences determined as the 2024 PGA TOUR Season came to an end include the Aon Next 10, which offers access to two Signature Events in 2025 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational. The RSM Classic, won by Maverick McNealy, was the final event of the 2024 FedExCup Fall, consisting of eight official PGA TOUR events. Each event offered winner’s benefits – a two-year PGA TOUR exemption, 500 FedExCup points, and invitations to The Sentry, THE PLAYERS Championship, Masters Tournament and PGA Championship in 2025 – as well as the opportunity for players to lock up or improve positions in the priority ranking for the 2025 PGA TOUR Season. McNealy, who began the season on a Major Medical Extension and went on to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, began the FedExCup Fall at No. 53 in the standings and finished in the Aon Next 10 (No. 51) to earn exemptions to two additional Signature Events in 2025 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational. In addition to McNealy’s breakthrough, the FedExCup Fall was highlighted by several memorable moments, including Patton Kizzire’s first title in more than six years at the Procore Championship, where he entered the week No. 132 in the standings with conditional status. The Black Desert Championship, in its first year as a PGA TOUR tournament, provided the backdrop for Matt McCarty to claim his first win in his second start as a TOUR member after earning the Korn Ferry Tour’s Three-Victory Promotion. And at the penultimate event of the FedExCup Fall, Korn Ferry Tour graduate and Puerto Rico native Rafael Campos entered the Butterfield Bermuda Championship No. 147 in the standings before capturing an emotional first career title just seven days removed from the birth of his daughter. Top 125 The RSM Classic was the 47th and final event of the 2024 PGA TOUR Season and the last opportunity for players to secure top-125 status, offering access to all Full-Field Events and THE PLAYERS Championship in 2025. Two players moved into the top 125 at The RSM Classic: Daniel Berger (T2) and Henrik Norlander (T17). A four-time PGA TOUR winner, Berger entered the week No. 127 in the FedExCup Fall standings in his final year on a tournament winner’s exemption and finished runner-up to secure his spot inside the top 125 at No. 100. It marked Berger’s best finish on TOUR since his most recent title at the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Norlander, who began The RSM Classic at No. 126 in the FedExCup Fall standings for the second consecutive year, posted scores of 63-68 in the final two rounds to finish T17 and earn fully-exempt status on TOUR for the first time since the 2021-22 season. A three-time runner-up on TOUR, Norlander played in 21 events in 2024 with conditional status (126-150 category) and posted a season-best T8 at the Black Desert Championship during the FedExCup Fall. With a final-round 64, tying his low round of the season, Joel Dahmen finished T35 to remain No. 124 in the FedExCup Fall standings and retain fully exempt status on TOUR in 2025. After a first-round 73, Dahmen made a par putt from 5 feet, 6 inches to make the cut on the number. Sam Ryder (MC) finished No. 125 in the final 2024 FedExCup Fall standings after entering the week at No. 122. Seven players moved into the top 125 after beginning the FedExCup Fall outside the top 125: Alex Smalley (No. 128 to No. 121), Norlander (No. 129 to No. 120), Greyson Sigg (No. 130 to No. 107), Kizzire (No. 132 to No. 77), Berger (No. 138 to No. 100), Campos (No. 146 to No. 82), Joe Highsmith (No. 158 to No. 110). Players who finished Nos. 126-150 earned conditional status for 2025, unless otherwise exempt, and are eligible for Final Stage of PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry in December. Martin Laird was the only player who entered The RSM Classic outside the top 150 and finished No. 150 or better (T17; from No. 152 to No. 145). Aon Next 10 Nos. 51-60 in the final FedExCup Fall standings serve as the Aon Next 10 for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational, with the following 10 players earning a spot in those two events: No. 51 Maverick McNealy No. 52 Mackenzie Hughes No. 53 Patrick Rodgers No. 54 Nico Echavarria No. 55 Harris English No. 56 Seamus Power No. 57 Ben Griffin No. 58 Kevin Yu No. 59 Tom Kim No. 60 Nick Taylor Additional Aon Next 10 notes: With his T11 finish at The RSM Classic, Kevin Yu (No. 61 to No. 58) was the only player to move into the Aon Next 10, bumping out Justin Rose (No. 60 to No. 62) Three players finished in the Aon Next 10 after entering the FedExCup Fall outside the top 60: Nico Echavarria (No. 108 to No. 54), Ben Griffin (No. 61 to No. 57), Kevin Yu (No. 89 to No. 58) Three FedExCup Fall winners finished in the Aon Next 10: Kevin Yu (Sanderson Farms Championship), Nico Echavarria (ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP), Maverick McNealy (The RSM Classic) Ben Griffin (No. 57) finished in the Aon Next 10 at the conclusion of the FedExCup Fall for the second consecutive season (No. 54 in 2023) Signature Events are limited-field tournaments with increased prize money and FedExCup points and include players who finished in the top 50 in the previous season’s FedExCup standings, with remaining spots determined by players who play their way in through the events leading up to the next Signature Event (Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5), tournament winners, PGA TOUR members in the top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking and sponsor exemptions. New in 2025, Signature Events after The Sentry will have a minimum field size of 72 players (80 for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am), and the field will be filled (if necessary) using positions 11 and beyond in the Aon Next 10 standings. Final Stage of PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry With the top 125 and 126-150 categories set, the final opportunity for PGA TOUR membership is Final Stage of PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry in December. The top five finishers (and ties) will earn TOUR cards, giving players without status an opportunity to earn or regain TOUR membership and players in the 126-150 category or below a chance to improve their status. Exempt categories for Final Stage include the top 40 available players below No. 125 in the FedExCup Fall standings and non-members whose FedExCup points are greater than or equal to No. 150 in the FedExCup Fall standings. Players in the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking published on Monday, November 18 are also exempt for Final Stage. While the top five and ties will earn PGA TOUR cards, the next 25 finishers (and ties) will earn fully exempt status on the Korn Ferry Tour, while the next 40 finishers (and ties) will be exempt through the second reshuffle on the Korn Ferry Tour.

Final Stage of Q-School will be contested Thursday, December 12 through Sunday, December 15 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, at Dye’s Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass and Sawgrass Country Club.

The Les Cabinotiers Le Temps Divin (divine time) series explore the notion of time in its various cultural and conceptual perceptions: physical and linear like a chronology; astronomical and cyclical like the seasons; metaphysical in the infinite stretching of the present moment. For each of these interpretations, Vacheron Constantin offers a journey towards different cultural horizons, a horological odyssey punctuated by the mechanics of time and staged by artistic crafts. To embody cyclical time, composed of alternating astronomical phenomena, declines and rebirths, Vacheron Constantin has opted for the succession of seasons. Each of the latter is symbolised by a sacred animal from traditional Asian culture, highlighted by wood marquetry. The timepieces feature a tourbillon regulator driven by ultra-thin Calibre 2160.  Cyclical Time  The alternation of day and night, of seasons and lunar cycles, was a very early incentive for humankind to seek regularity. Watchmaking was born of these observations, gradually infusing time with a scientific identity that has never ceased to progress. From cyclical time came physical time, to be sequenced and measured; followed by metaphysical time, which fuels deeper reflection on a concept inherent in the foundations of our universe. The theme of Le Temps Divin explores these different meanings of the term, expressing cyclical time through the seasons as generally expressed in Asian cultures and notably in Chinese culture.   This is not the first time that Vacheron Constantin has taken an interest in the cycle of the seasons in different cultures, as demonstrated by the Métiers d'Art – Apollo’s chariot, The Four Seasons and the Métiers d'Art – La symbolique des laques series. The Maison has also examined the Chinese zodiac cycle that has inspired many of its timepieces, including a Mercator watch with zodiac signs from the 1990s and a 1927 Art Deco table clock.  Sacred animals to symbolise the four seasons  The rhythm of the seasons and years is of highly symbolic importance in Asian cultures, often associated with mythological creatures and the signs of the zodiac. Within such a cosmogony, the celestial ecliptic – the imaginary line corresponding to the visible movement of the Sun as seen from the Earth – is divided into four sections of seven constellations, each represented by its sacred animal: the Azure Dragon, symbol of strength and power for the East and spring; the Vermilion Bird, symbol of luck and prosperity for the South and summer; the White Tiger, symbol of seriousness and courage for the West and autumn; as well as the Black Tortoise, symbol of wisdom and longevity for the North and winter. These animals took shape under the marquetry artisan’s hand, inspired by the murals in the Kitora burial mound in Japan, a circular tomb dating from the 7th century CE and depicting these mythical animals.  A combination of decorative arts and mechanical engineering  The marquetry artisan’s work involves using different types of wood in a variety of shades that are cut, organised, assembled and applied according to the motif to be created. The process involves 150 types of wood covering around 60 natural colours, sheets of veneer preserved at the right temperature and humidity. For these Les Cabinotiers timepieces, and depending on the dial, ten to 12 types were selected: sycamore, padauk, hornbeam, tulip tree, blue myrtle, eucalyptus, maple, burl wood, oak, walnut... some of which were stained or even heated to obtain the right colour.  The artisan begins by reproducing the motif on a scale four times the size of the dial. The lines must be clean and accurate before the design is reduced to its correct proportions and printed in as many copies as are needed for cutting. This is done on tracing paper for each of the pieces composing the marquetry, taking care to leave the perimeter clear. The next and most delicate stage consists of applying these tracings to a stack of ten or so layers of veneer, each 0.6 mm thick, sawn in one piece to facilitate cutting. The operation is performed using a pedal-operated scroll saw, the aim being to divide the tenth-of-a-millimetre design line into two. Finally, the delicately sanded and sometimes previously heated or tinted components are assembled like a jigsaw puzzle. At this stage, they are no more than 0.4 mm thick and, in some cases, not much wider. They are then glued to the final substrate before being sanded down to level and varnished.  This to the millimetre-accurate wood marquetry is even more complex in that it often requires a very large number of components, averaging more than 200 tiny parts from eight to ten different species for each dial. Making a dragon, for example, requires a piece of wood for each of its scales. In all, it takes a month and a half to make a single dial.  The slim case of the four models is the result of ultra-thin Calibre 2160, measuring 5.65 mm thick. Operating at a rate of 18,000 vibrations per hour, it offers an 80-hour power reserve by a winding mechanism coupled to a peripheral rotor. This open architecture of the 188-component movement reveals the level of finishing applied to this High Watchmaking mechanism, with a circular-grained plate on the dial side and hand-bevelled bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève on the back. The gear train wheels are circular satin-finished, the screws chamfered and polished, while the tourbillon bar with its Maltese cross-shaped carriage bearing the small seconds indicated by a blackened screw is delicately rounded off by hand.

Formula 1 is delighted to announce the introduction of a formal Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) charter, which has been agreed by all ten teams, Formula 1 and the FIA, and has been created with support from the Royal Academy of Engineering, which, alongside Sir Lewis Hamilton, delivered The Hamilton Commission *’s original report in 2021. The charter is a result of the report’s recommendation that the motorsport sector commits to improve diversity and inclusion across all organisations. The charter’s implementation will also be supported by Formula 1 partner Mission 44, the charity set up by Lewis Hamilton. Mission 44 has also recently released research that indicates that programmes including pledges, commitments, or codes, drive accountability. As a sport that prides itself on its unrelenting high performance, Formula 1 recognises the importance that diversity plays in introducing new perspectives and ideas, and driving innovation, culture, and business results. And while it is an environment of intense competition, there is recognition that inclusion cannot be achieved by working alone, but through collaboration. The charter is designed to make this a reality and produce positive lasting results. The sport is committed to creating, supporting, and delivering on actions, measures, and outcomes, to build a more diverse and inclusive place to work. Over recent years every team and stakeholder in Formula 1 has acted and implemented initiatives to improve diversity, access, and opportunity within the sport. At Formula 1, fully funded engineering scholarships for underrepresented groups have been introduced, apprentice and intern schemes created, and F1 ACADEMY, the female-only series, has been launched, to name a few key examples. The charter is an important step in agreeing a set of clear joint principles to maintain momentum and continue to maximise diversity across Formula 1, and it sets out a collaborative approach to improve the sport in the months and years ahead. The charter sets out the following vision and mission and four key pillars of focus: The Vision:  To enable anyone to access, contribute to, and enjoy global motorsport.  The Mission:  Identify and remove barriers to attract and retain a rich diversity of people in our workplaces, improving our ways of working, and engaging with stakeholders to drive innovation. Commitments – Four Pillars: Attract Target and support initiatives that seek to attract underrepresented groups to motorsport. To support this effort, we will gather demographic data in an aligned way to improve our collective talent pipelines and recruitment practices. Retain We will put in place processes to mitigate bias in our organisations and create cultures of inclusion so a diversity of people can thrive in our sport. Create We will listen to and encourage all perspectives in the design, development, and delivery of our products and services, encouraging our supply chains to do this too. Engage We will communicate our commitment to D&I with our external stakeholders: listening, learning, and improving to deliver a better, more inclusive experience. Currently, representatives from Formula 1, the FIA and all 10 teams work together as part of the Formula 1 Diversity and Inclusion Working Group and, as part of the charter, this will now evolve into an implementation group that will deliver more initiatives and further formalise the sport’s collaborative approach by introducing measurable and time-bound projects, and key performance indicators. Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said: “Our sport is rightly recognised for its elite performance and innovation, and we are clear that the only way to maintain and improve those exceptional standards is to welcome diversity of thought, ideas, and experiences. The sport is fiercely competitive, and we’re all committed to employing the very best talent. We know from The Hamilton Commission report that there are opportunities for us to work collectively to both find and nurture that talent, and across the sport significant change has already been put in place.  The charter is the next important milestone on that journey, and we are all committed to making our sport more open and diverse.” Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, said: “The diversification of motor sport is paramount to its continued success. Through ensuring equal opportunity for equal talent, increasing accessibility, and joining together in our commitment to uphold this charter, we will drive forward change. This landmark partnership between Formula 1, the teams, and our Federation signifies a united course of action which I am proud to be a part of.” Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said: “Formula 1 took the findings of The Hamilton Commission in 2021 seriously, and since then the sport has created a range of initiatives to increase diversity. This charter, which the sport commissioned us to create independently, sets a framework for progress and establishes commitment to both principles and action. It is a key step in F1’s ongoing efforts to improve access and performance, and we believe it will be a catalyst for even more positive impact and cross-sport working.” *About The Hamilton Commission: In 2020, in an effort to understand and address the lack of diversity across the motorsport industry, not just in the driver pool but beyond in garages and factories too, Sir Lewis Hamilton formed The Hamilton Commission, in partnership with The Royal Academy of Engineering. The collaboration presented an opportunity to simultaneously address the underrepresentation of Black people in UK motorsport, as well as the STEM sector. Following a ten-month research period, The Hamilton Commission published its report, Accelerating Change: Improving Representation of Black People in UK Motorsport. By ML Staff.

A tribute to the deep and enduring ties between Dior and Saudi Arabia, the exhibition Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams at the Saudi National Museum in Riyadh takes place from November 21, 2024 to April 2, 2025 as part of Riyadh Season 2024.   Following its success at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the retrospective conceived by curator Florence Müller and scenographer Nathalie Crinière brings to life over 75 years of creative audacity sparked by the pioneering vision of Christian Dior.  From the Maison’s mythic 30 Montaigne address to portraits of creative directors by Yan Pei-Ming, the exhibition explores the creative universe of Dior. A first space with a pop spirit evokes the launch of Miss Dior, the House’s first ready-to-wear line, and the effervescence of the Sixties. Iconic Dior codes then unfold in a multitude of signature Dior themes, and the Colorama – an enthralling cabinet of curiosities – reaffirms the essential role of Dior accessories. The exhibition also celebrates the iconic lady Dior bag through works created as part of the Dior Lady Art project.  Reflecting the shared fascination of Dior and Saudi Arabia for the wonders of nature, an enchanted setting and ode to the authentic, preserved beauty of the Al’-Ula oasis, hosts a series of dresses in hypnotic shades, evoking the nuances of the sun embracing the desert.   This magnificent odyssey from yesterday to the present celebrates Dior elegance, in the name of dreams.   ML Staff.
