On October 12, Fortec, a Miami-based real estate development company, Higher Ground Education, the largest and fastest-growing network of Montessori schools worldwide and Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to launch two new schools within the same 17,000-square-foot building: Guidepost Montessori and Academy of Thought and Industry at Hollywood Beach East.

Higher Ground Education, which has over 100 Montessori centers throughout the country, continues to expand its impact into more communities within South Florida. The 20-year lease that Higher Ground Education signed with Fortec to operate the two schools, located at 2216 Hollywood Boulevard, forms a network of three schools in the region where students can access a high-quality Montessori education as young as 18 months and continue until 12th grade. Helping to keep up with the increasing demand, in the last three years, Fortec has collaborated on 12 projects nationwide with Higher Ground Education. Pablo Barreiro, chairman of Fortec, Martin Saidon, CEO and co-founder of Fortec, and Ray Girn, CEO of Higher Ground Education, were joined by Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy and other community leaders, along with parents and students, to celebrate this important neighborhood milestone.

Lincoln Road, the iconic outdoor shopping, dining, and cultural destination situated in the heart of Miami Beach, announces the arrival of a monumental 45-foot-tall, 32,000-pound kinetic sculpture during Miami Art Week named ‘R-Evolution’, that will glow in the sun and illuminate at night thanks with RGB LED lights. The towering nude female sculpture, which will be showcased on the East Coast for the first time ever, first debuted at Burning Man and was designed by Marco Cochrane, the artist behind monumental sculptures seen at the Smithsonian Art Museum and the $4.3 billion Resorts World. ‘R-Evolution’ will be on display on the 400 Block of Lincoln Road starting November 14 and will be on display through April 2024. The ‘R-Evolution’ sculpture symbolizes feminine strength and liberation, featuring 16 motors in her chest to simulate breathing and demonstrate how her energy radiates into the world by involuntary forces. Using a Pantograph – a medieval-era enlargement tool – the sculpture was built by hand by Marco using classical sculpting techniques starting with a life-size original, enlarged first to 15-foot clay version, and then to her final metal form. The completed 45-foot sculpture is made of steel rod and tubing, utilizing two layers of geodesic triangles (necessitating 55,000 welds) covered by a stainless steel mesh. ‘R-Evolution’ is the third and final sculpture in Cochrane’s “The Bliss Project” series, intended to catalyze social change by challenging bystanders to see past the sexual charge surrounding the female body. To actualize the series, Cochrane worked with singer, songwriter, dancer, model, humanitarian and farmer Deja Solis as a collaborator and model and called upon hundreds of volunteers to take part in the creation. “Lincoln Road has been the epicenter of art and culture of Miami Beach since the 1960s and has strengthened since Art Basel began here more than 20 years ago,” said Anabel Llopis, executive director of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. “Every year, we curate game-changing exhibits that push the boundaries of what has been done on Lincoln Road, and we can’t wait to bring Marco Cochrane’s ‘R-Evolution’ to Miami Beach residents and visitors. Our mission is to be the largest public art museum and to provide access and engagement with art to all. The piece will draw thousands to the destination with her energy and the magnitude of her presence. Being steps away from the most iconic art show, Art Basel at the Miami Beach Convention Center and Design Miami, Lincoln Road will continue to serve as a premier hub for modern culture-seekers to discover free public outdoor art.” Lincoln Road’s broad public walkway is embellished with splashing fountains, tropical gardens, and an amphitheater, influenced by Modernist Architect Morris Lapidus who was commissioned in 1960 to redesign the road by creating a shopping esplanade in the Art Deco Style. Located just steps from the Miami Beach Convention Center, Lincoln Road is the most-visited open-air destination in South Florida, with over 8 million visitors annually. Lincoln Road showcases free outdoor public art year-round, displaying permanent works and pop-up installations by famous local, national, and international artists at every turn. Works include Dan Graham’s “Steel-and-Glass Concave,” a fun house-like homage to architect Morris Lapidus; a mural inside H&M by local self-taught Cuban-American artist ABSTRK that bridges the gap between Miami Beach’s art deco architecture and the compositional lines of gestural graffiti; and a captivating work by contemporary artist Bradley Theodore on the exterior wall of Chotto Matte that celebrates the restaurant’s Peruvian roots with colorful icon depictions. This exhibition continues the rich history of previous exhibitions on Lincoln Road including 2020’s “Botero on Lincoln Road” public art show, a series of monumental bronze sculptures by world-renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero, whose work has been showcased in famous destinations such as the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Yebisu Garden Place in Tokyo, the Lustgarten in Berlin and Park Avenue in New York City, and 2022’s open-air activation featuring bright, geometric, life-size animal statues from French artist Richard Orlinski’s Champs-Élysées exhibition.

When caring for our beloved pets, convenience and accessibility are key factors. In the bustling city of Miami, finding a reliable and efficient veterinary service can sometimes be challenging. However, opting for a mobile vet in Miami can offer numerous advantages that traditional veterinary clinics may not provide. While these benefits aren't necessarily specific to a big city, the bustling life in the best city in the Sunshine State can be made all the easier with these services. Here are the benefits of vets that come to your home and why you might want to consider using them. Convenience and Accessibility One of the primary advantages of choosing a mobile vet is the convenience and accessibility it offers. With a mobile vet, you no longer have to worry about transporting your pet to a clinic, dealing with traffic, or finding parking. The vet comes directly to your doorstep, saving you time and effort. This is especially beneficial for pet owners with busy schedules or those with difficulty leaving their homes, such as the elderly or those with a disability that makes it hard to get around. Less Stress for Pets Pets, such as dogs, can often become anxious or stressed when visiting a traditional veterinary clinic. The unfamiliar environment, the presence of other animals, and the various smells and sounds can be overwhelming for them. Some pets even begin to associate the car or travel with the vet, increasing their anxiety and making it harder to take them outside the home. You can minimize your pet's stress levels by opting for a mobile vet. They can receive veterinary care in their home, where they feel safe and secure. This can lead to a more positive and relaxed experience for you and your pet. Reduced Risk of Exposure to Illnesses Traditional veterinary clinics can be breeding grounds for various illnesses and diseases. Most clinics practice sanitary routines and try their best to ensure that your pets are given the cleanest environment possible, but you can never be too careful regarding your pet's safety and health. The proximity of sick animals and the constant flow of different pets can increase the risk of exposure to contagious diseases. By choosing a mobile vet, you can significantly reduce this risk. Your pet will not come into contact with other animals, minimizing the chances of contracting an illness. This is particularly important for pets with compromised immune systems or those prone to stress-related illnesses. Minimized Waiting Time We all know how frustrating it can be to wait for extended periods at a veterinary clinic. With a mobile vet, you can say goodbye to long waiting times. Mobile vets typically operate on an appointment basis, ensuring you and your pet receive prompt and personalized attention. This means less time spent in waiting rooms and more dedicated to addressing your pet's needs. Schedule the visit when you are at home, and the mobile vet does the rest. In-Home Euthanasia Services One of the most challenging decisions a pet owner may face is the euthanasia of their beloved companion. Opting for a mobile vet can provide a compassionate and peaceful environment for this challenging process. In-home euthanasia services allow your pet to be surrounded by familiar surroundings and loved ones during their final moments. This can offer comfort and solace to you and your pet during this emotional time. Choosing a mobile vet in Miami offers numerous advantages, including convenience, reduced stress for pets, minimized risk of illness exposure, shorter waiting times, and in-home euthanasia services. Opting for a mobile vet ensures your pet receives the best care in a comfortable and familiar environment. The next time you're faced with a vet appointment, planned or unplanned, you may want to consider a mobile vet. By ML staff. Image courtesy of Pexels.

Committed to the fight against breast and prostate cancer for over two decades, Copa Airlines joins the Pink Ribbon initiative through the “Get Tested Early” campaign. This year, the airline renews its commitment to Breast Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. To convey this special message of awareness and prevention, Copa Airlines introduces their newly designed Boeing 737MAX9 aircraft that will take flight throughout the Americas. The initiative not only celebrates two decades of ongoing support and commitment to the cause, but it honors the airline staff who have bravely faced these illnesses. “Copa Airlines is determined to raise awareness about the health and wellness of people. We are confident that our new aircraft will not only fly through the Americas but will also touch the hearts of those who see the photos, and videos or have the privilege to fly on the airplane. It serves as a powerful reminder about the importance of early detection and prevention. We want to share a message of prevention and hope to our passengers, our dedicated staff, and our valued customers because we believe that, together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer,” said Peter Donkersloot, Vice President of Human Resources at Copa Airlines. In addition to painting one of their aircraft in a shade of pink, Copa Airlines donated $50,000 to the National Oncology Institute of Panama furthering their commitment to support the construction of their new chemotherapy treatment facility which will double its current capacity. This gesture reinforces the ongoing commitment of the airline to support the international fight against breast cancer. According to the Health Organization of Panama (OPS), cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the Americas. Therefore, the “Get Tested Early” message in Copa Airlines’ new aircraft hopes to transcend barriers by being a constant reminder of the importance of both prevention and early detection of this illness. The new aircraft also symbolizes the result of numerous ongoing initiatives in the fight against cancer, many of which have taken place over the last decade. Some of these initiatives include their ongoing support to the National Association of Chemotherapy Patients (ASONAPAQ). Copa Airlines has donated more than $500,000 to this organization which guarantees adequate nutrition for those individuals undergoing treatment at the Oncology Institute, providing valuable support to those who are most in need. As an integral part of their strategy, the airline actively promotes healthy lifestyles. This includes providing free breast and prostate exams and organizing health fairs throughout the year. In addition, the airline offers staff a health clinic and assistance over the phone to those employees and their families seeking emotional support while facing cancer-related illnesses and other health conditions. More on Copa Airlines Copa Airlines, a subsidiary of Copa Holdings, is a leading passenger and cargo airline in Latin America. In its 75 years of operation, it has established the Hub of the Americas® in Panama City as the continent’s leading hub. It has one of the industry’s most modern and efficient fleets of Boeing 737-800 NG and Boeing 737 MAX9, serving countries across North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean, and consistently delivers on-time performance of above 90%, among the best in the industry worldwide.
