ICON Aircraft was founded more than a decade ago with a vision to reinvent the way people experience flying, and more specifically, adventure flying. The company’s first aircraft, the ICON A5, is the ultimate adventure vehicle, designed to make it easier and safer than ever for anyone to become a pilot. The award-winning ICON A5 Light Sport Aircraft unlocks adventures once thought impossible with traditional water or airborne vehicles. The innovative aircraft taps into the purest essence of aviation, bringing people the incredible freedom and adventure of personal flight. The ICON A5 is categorized an amphibious Light Sport Aircraft, which means that it’s as comfortable landing or taking off on a runway as it is on a remote grass strip or even a lake or river. The airplane seats two, pilot and co-pilot (or passenger), and is perfect for anyone who craves adventure and wants to experience the world in 3-D, unencumbered by the typical confines of land and sea. It’s A5’s incredible versatility and safety set it apart from other small aircraft. The plane’s unique wingfold system and optional amphibious trailer enable the A5 to be loaded, towed, and stored easily in a garage or driveway. And its amphibious capabilities mean it can be launched or recovered from a marina or dock, no airport hangar required. Foremost in the development of the ICON A5 was an unyielding commitment to safety. The plane features a Spin-Resistant Airframe (SRA), a full airplane parachute called the ICON Parachute System (IPS), and an Angle of Attack (AoA) indicator that provides critical, yet intuitive inflight information to the pilot. ICON’s commitment to safety extends beyond to its world-class flight training program, which the company built from the ground up. New or learning pilots can earn their Sport Pilot License in as little as 20 flight hours, though ICON’s flight instructors work with students for as long as needed to make sure they are confident, competent, and fully qualified to enjoy all that the A5 has to offer. Click to launch slideshow > The ICON A5 is a seamless blend of art and engineering that enables personally rewarding and life-defining experiences. Adventure flying in the A5 is about creating unforgettable memories and exploring some of the best destinations on the planet in an entirely new way. New experiences in life are rare. Let the ICON A5 expand your horizons. A fully-loaded 2019 ICON A5 is listed at $389,000 MSRP. A $5,000 deposit reserves your delivery, with a production wait time of approximately 4-6 months.

Comedian Catherine Cohen’s recently released Netflix comedy special, Catherine Cohen: The Twist…? She’s Gorgeous, broke the traditional standup comedy mold with its seamless blend of musical storytelling and straight standup comedy. Catherine Cohen: The Twist…? She’s Gorgeous is currently streaming on Netflix. In 2019, Catherine won the coveted title of Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She’s the co-host of the popular podcast Seek Treatment and author of GOD I FEEL MODERN TONIGHT: Poems From A Gal About Town. Catherine is currently filming the hour-long dramady series, While You Were Breeding for Freeform Network. In this first episode of Season 4 of the Allison Interviews podcast Catherine Cohen reveals to host Allison Kugel exactly how she landed her Netflix comedy special, what it took to get into Princeton, why she’s freezing her eggs at age 30, how she comes up with her material, growing up Catholic but feeling Jewish, being hard on herself, and who she was in a previous life. On how to land a Netflix comedy special if you’re Catherine Cohen: “This was a show that I was doing on my own for five years in New York. I did my show for the first time in 2017 at The Duplex [piano bar] in the West Village, along with my music composer Henry Koperski, who plays piano and helped me write all the songs. Then we did it at Joe’s Pub in New York. I wanted to take it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and right before I was going to do that I got a message on Facebook from Steve Brill, who directed my Netflix special. I thought, ‘Is this spam?’ He said, ‘Hey, I just directed Adam Sandler’s special and I really want to do another one. Is that something you are interested in?’ I thought, ‘Duh!’ But then I thought, ‘This feels too good to be true.’ We ended up meeting for coffee and just totally vibed, and had the same vision, so I said, ‘Let’s totally do it!’ Having Steve Brill on my team really helped a lot. He had a relationship with Netflix, so he helped me make it happen. We had a bunch of meetings with them.” “Robbie Praw, who works at Netflix, came to see my Edinburgh show. I remember the next day we went for a long walk and we talked about what it could be and what my dreams were, and what would make sense for the platform. Then I got the offer to do the show as a Netflix special in 2019, and we were going to shoot it in 2020… LOL. We finally got to shoot it in September 2021, and it just came out in March 2022. We shot it in Joe’s Pub, which was nice because that was a place where we had done early versions of the show and I felt really comfortable. It was a total dream come true. I’m so happy it is out in the world. It’s been many years in the making.” On how to get into Princeton University if you’re Catherine Cohen: “Yes, I did go there. I don’t feel super smart these days, but I guess I did well enough in school to get there. It’s a very bizarre skillset; it almost has no reflection on your intelligence. It’s just like, are you obsessive? Uptight? Really hard on yourself and a fast reader? You just have to memorize a bunch of stuff, be absolutely psychotic and evil towards yourself, and then maybe you can get in (laugh).” On the decision to freeze her eggs at age thirty: “I actually just started the process of freezing my eggs. I just started the medications, so I’m feeling, like, not in my body. First of all, I’m not drinking and I’m drinking lots of water, but I can’t exercise. I can only walk, and I’m feeling out of my body, but it’s sort of a beautiful human experience, I guess. You’re getting your ovaries huge, for lack of better scientific terminology, and so there is danger of twisting or damaging them because they are so big. I’d been trying to spend more time at the gym, but now I’m just going on slow strolls.” “I’m 30, but I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, so my cycle is very irregular. I don’t get regular periods and I have been told it might be difficult in the future to get pregnant. I’m definitely not ready at all, so I figured I have some time this summer. I have some money saved, so why not do it? Then I can just not have it on my mind and enjoy the next five years of my life, and revisit the matter at a later date.” On being done with the material from her Netflix special, The Twist…? She’s Gorgeous: “As soon as the [Netflix] special came out, I was done with that material. I’m doing all new stuff. I did some shows in London. I did some shows in Austin and LA, and now I’m just working on new [material]. I’m going back to the UK this summer. I’m going to do some dates at the Edinburgh Festival, and I think I might do an encore performance of The Twist. But emotionally, I’m ready to move on creatively.” On being raised Catholic but feeling Jewish: “My mom is Catholic and we were all confirmed Catholic. We went to very religious private schools where everyone was very evangelical, and it was totally damaging and creepy. Thankfully, I went to college and met a bunch of Jewish people and thought, ‘These are my friends. This is my vibe. I forgot I had this side (Cohen’s father is Jewish).” “I just hated all the arbitrary rules, the way the Evangelical church teaches women to be so ashamed of everything; to hide their bodies, their personalities, and be submissive to their partners. It was just so against everything I had ever felt, and everything my parents had taught me. My parents didn’t teach me any of that. At one point I did get really into it, because it was intoxicating. You’re going on ski trips, meeting boys from different schools, so it was like, ‘Church is cool. The church is fun.’ Then you realized you were kind of brainwashed into believing things you didn’t stand for.” On trying not to be so hard on herself: “I’m constantly convinced that if I wasn’t successful, I would be inherently unworthy. My boyfriend told me I wasn’t allowed to use the word ‘loser’ anymore. I would say, ‘They are a loser,’ or ‘I’m a loser.’ He says, ‘What are you even saying? Don’t use the word loser anymore.’ I’m constantly convinced that I have to be the most successful person in the world, or I’m a loser. It’s a very Princeton mentality. I actually just went to my college reunion last weekend. I was just thinking about how hard on myself I’ve been for so long. It does often yield results, though it’s taking a toll, so I’m trying to figure out how to be productive without losing my mind.” How her past life impacted this one and made her decide to be Gorgeous!: “I actually did past life regression therapy, recently. In my first past life I was an ugly old lady who made bread, and she wasn’t allowed to go to the ball unless she brought a loaf of bread. I would actually go back in time to that first life and say, ‘Girl, you deserve to go to the ball, and you don’t have to bring bread. Just bring yourself.’ About Journalist and Podcast Host Allison Kugel Allison Kugel is a veteran entertainment journalist with close to four hundred long-form celebrity and newsmaker interviews published and syndicated, worldwide.

City Theatre (@CityTheatreMIA) and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County (@ArshtCsenter) are proud to present Bob Marley's Three Little Birds. This jammin' musical featuring the timeless music and lyrics of Bob Marley is based on the children's book (Every Little Thing) by his daughter Cedella Marley. Playing June 22-July 9 in the Arsht Center’s intimate Carnival Studio Theater, Bob Marley's Three Little Birds features a live reggae band playing onstage and makes for an entertaining summer theater event for the whole family. Based on a story by Cedella Marley Music and Lyrics by Bob Marley Adapted for the stage by Michael J. Bobbitt Arrangements, Orchestrations, Additional Music and Lyrics by John L. Cornelius, II This jammin’ musical shares the legendary reggae artist's message of peace and love with a new generation of songbirds! Bob Marley's Three Little Birds is a tale of peace and love. Mama says "breathe easy," but Ziggy's afraid to leave the house. He's too busy worrying about tropical storms, and evil spirits, and steering clear of that sneaky, hair-snatching Duppy! But with the help of Doctor Bird and his feathered friends, Ziggy's reminded that "every little thing gonna be all right!" "It's an honor to see my father's music connect with each new generation. My own children loved singing ‘Three Little Birds’ when they were little. It was like their own little mantra, and that's what inspired me to write the book. Seeing this story come to life onstage illustrated by my father's music gives it an added dimension. It's positive, uplifting vibe is something the world needs more of, especially these days," shares Cedella Marley. Bob Marley's Three Little Birds is directed by Gladys Ramírez with musical direction by Jamie Hinckson and choreography by Sandra Portal-Andreu. The cast includes TJ Pursley (“Ziggy”), Noelle Nicholas (“Nansi”), Frankie Midnight (“Duppy”), Malik Archibald (“Doctor Bird”), Toddra Brunson (“Cedella”), and Deanna Gamboa (“Tacoomah”). The Bob Marley's Three Little Birds creative team includes City Theatre Artistic Director Margaret M. Ledford; set designer Jodi Dellaventura; sound designer Steve Shapiro; costume designer Ellis Tillman; lighting designer Eric Nelson; properties designer Jameelah Bailey; and stage manager Izabella Orelle. Bob Marley's Three Little Birds is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. The cast of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds City Theatre is grateful for the additional funding support for this production from the Peacock Foundation, Inc., Carnival Foundation, and Key Biscayne Community Foundation. Launched in 1996, City Theatre is one of Miami’s oldest theater companies. They are nationally distinguished for being the only theater in the country producing 10-minute plays and musicals year-round and for all ages.

Mallet London, the British sneaker brand that is taking the US by storm, is taking another important step, this time towards sustainability. The new GRFTR Fleck sneaker which launches on June 1st, as part of their Pre AW22 collection, marks the beginning of a deliberate move by the brand to start their journey into becoming more sustainable, changing the way they approach their products and business, from both a production level and exploring the end of the footwear lifecycle. ‘This has been a long time coming’ says Tommy Mallet, the British Creative Director and Co-Founder. ‘It's exciting that we get to take one of our iconic and best-selling styles and make these changes on our journey towards a more sustainable sneaker.’ On the work they have been doing in the past year to gear up to this moment, he says ‘We have updated our leather sourcing, so we now exclusively work with environmentally conscious manufacturers, and our mesh, which is used on most of our styles now comes from recycled mesh. Although we are still far from where we want to be, it's progress.’ The GRFTR is a classic silhouette for the brand and remains part of its core collection. The sneaker, designed in London, is crafted from leather and features the signature Mallet London heel clip. This time, the thick sole of the GRFTR is made from 20% recycled material, hence the fleck detailing you see. The laces have been crafted from fully recycled plastic. Not stopping there, the iconic black and gold packaging the shoes are presented in, is made up of 80% recycled materials, as is the branded shoehorn that is included as a finishing touch with every pair of Mallet London sneakers. The shoe will initially drop in black and white for men, and black and white for women. The name, like all Mallet sneakers, is personal for Tommy. A ‘grafter’ in the UK means a 'hard worker'. This shoe was called the GRFTR because it reflects the work ethic of Tommy and the graft that had to be done to get the brand to where it is today. ‘Customers these days are particularly engaged with brands with purpose’ says Tommy, ‘ones that lead with authenticity and are transparent with their processes. The bigger picture is for us to move towards a more environmentally friendly business module. But for now, this is an important step in the right direction.’ As an added initiative, a customer can turn in their minimum one-year-old GRFTR Flecks at a Mallet London store or online and have them recycled into new shoes and receive a 10% discount on a future purchase. The GRFTR Fleck drops worldwide in limited numbers on June 1 exclusively at us.mallet.com and is priced at $265. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Mallet London.

The Health Foundation of South Florida, the region’s largest philanthropic organization focused on achieving health equity in historically underserved communities, today announced it is investing up to $1.2 million to launch an AI-powered tech platform designed to help increase contracting opportunities for local and minority-owned small businesses at regional anchor institutions. The initiative is part of the Foundation’s overarching goal of addressing and positively impacting the social and economic disparities that profoundly impact community health and well-being. New Health Foundation President & CEO Loreen Chant (left) with new board Chair Melida Akiti In addition, 10 local public and private institutions—Miami-Dade County, Broward County and the City of Miami; Florida International University, Broward College and the University of Miami; Miami Dade Public Schools and Broward County Public Schools; UHealth and Broward Health—announced commitments to join the marketplace. It represents the first time, in South Florida and across the country, that multiple institutions from multiple sectors join forces to pool contracting opportunities into one shared platform with the goal of making it easier for diverse small businesses to access them. The 10 institutions form part of a larger group called the South Florida Anchor Alliance, a collaborative of 19 regional healthcare, education and governmental organizations founded in 2019 by the Health Foundation in partnership with Citi. The group banded together with a mission to create a more inclusive South Florida economy through collective workforce development and procurement efforts. (Anchor institutions are organizations such as university systems, hospitals and other enduring entities that play key roles in local economies across the US.) The Alliance’s first major initiative, the marketplace is projected to launch this fall. It was created to make the process of finding opportunities and bidding on contracts to do business with such large bureaucracies—which can be cumbersome for some entrepreneurs—easier, more accessible, and inclusive. Because the anchor institutions collectively spend upwards of $8 billion a year procuring goods and services, they have the potential to be a serious economic engine for regional small businesses. While the platform is open to any business, regardless of size, location or minority designation, its purpose is to help reduce barriers for small businesses that have been historically left out of such opportunities, primarily ones owned by underrepresented minorities. Relying on AI technology, the platform will connect anchor institutions directly with small businesses that can provide the specific goods or services they’re seeking and meet their procurement standards and requirements. It will aggregate listings of open contract opportunities, which vendors will be able to view in one easy-to-access place. It will also aggregate local vendors that have had or currently have contracts with any of the institutions, thus creating one large pool from which the participating anchors can draw when they’re hiring or procuring. Once launched, other small businesses will be free to join the marketplace as well. The initiative is the first to see a significant number of anchor institutions come together to pool contracting opportunities as well as vendor lists. It is also the first time there is one entry point for contract opportunities across numerous institutions. “The Health Foundation of South Florida is committed to fostering a thriving local economy because we understand the profound connection between health and wealth — that without economic stability and access to opportunity a community cannot be truly healthy,” said Loreen Chant, the Health Foundation’s President and CEO. “The marketplace is a critical platform that will help local and minority-owned businesses—the heartbeat of the South Florida economy—not just recover from COVID’s economic aftermath but grow and succeed. This is especially important since these businesses were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.” While COVID was devastating for many businesses across the country, the impacts for enterprises owned by women, racial minorities, and immigrants were even more severe. African Americans experienced the largest losses: a 41 percent drop in the number of active business owners. Latino-owned business ownership dropped by 32 percent. Immigrant business owners suffered a 36 percent drop, while female business owners declined by 25 percent. “Miami-Dade’s small and minority-owned businesses are the backbone of our local economy,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “We’re ready to on-ramp these businesses to competitive procurement opportunities within our larger anchor institutions, and we remain confident that this cross-sector approach will help to uplift small businesses across the region.” “I am proud of the collaboration between many institutions to streamline these processes and create contracting opportunities for small businesses throughout our communities,” said Broward County Mayor Michael Udine. “I look forward to seeing the positive impact the regional marketplace will have for our local businesses and workforce here in Broward County.” The marketplace will be built using software created by Texas-based company Avisare, which was vetted and selected by Anchor Alliance members, who conducted a nationwide search for a technology partner. After a thorough review, the anchor leaders selected the Avisare system because of how well it handles the intricate marketplace requirements with one out-of-the-box solution. “Avisare is delighted to be selected as the SaaS system facilitating South Florida’s marketplace,” said its founder and CEO, Sky Kelley. “Having witnessed the unprecedented devastation for small businesses during the beginning of COVID, the timing is now to help small businesses prior to another potential recession. We are so glad South Florida sees the benefits of a regional marketplace for the local economy and look forward to accomplishing this task together.” The Health Foundation, which acts as the Anchor Alliance’s backbone organization, recently received a $500,000 grant from the Citi Foundation to support the Alliance’s continued work. The award was part of the Citi Foundation’s 2021 Community Progress Makers Initiative, which supported organizations across the U.S. that are working to connect communities of color to greater social and economic opportunities. “We are honored to be the convener of this first-in-the-nation kind of collaboration between some of South Florida’s most prestigious institutions and leaders,” said Melida Akiti, the Health Foundation’s Board Chair. “We have also been deeply impressed by the commitment demonstrated by the anchor institutions who have committed to participate in the marketplace. Above all, we are confident that together we will create more economic stability across our region while underscoring the pivotal role we all play in fostering inclusivity in the communities in which we operate and call home.” MORE ON HEALTH FOUNDATION OF SOUTH FLORIDA The mission of Health Foundation of South Florida is to invest in and be a catalyst for collaborations and policy and systems changes that improve the health of South Florida communities, with a focus on vulnerable, low to moderate-income populations. Established in 1993, the foundation has awarded more than $131 million to nonprofits that provide programs and services in Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties.

MORE ON THE SOUTH FLORIDA ANCHOR ALLIANCE The South Florida Anchor Alliance is a collaborative of regional institutions—hospitals and healthcare systems, education enterprises and municipalities—coming together to harness their collective multi-billion-dollar spending power and vast human and intellectual capital in order to create a more just and inclusive local economy. It was founded by the Health Foundation of South Florida in partnership with Citi. MORE ON AVISARE Avisare is a universal e-sourcing platform that leverages AI to enable public and private sector entities to make the sourcing and procurement process easier for everyone, including small & diverse businesses. Avisare’s integrated suite of products (a universal registration portal, online certification, RFP matching, eBidding, and outreach compliance reporting) streamlines the sourcing process by focusing on collaboration, transparency, robust tracking and reporting. Our goal is to enhance the bidding process and make smart recommendations to both buyers and sellers that will help more small & diverse businesses better compete for contracts and get certified faster.

UPCOMING RETAIL OPENINGS ADRIANA IGLESIAS Inspired by the iconic seaside and effortless style of the 70s and the Mediterranean, Adriana Iglesias collection is feminine, relaxed and chic, resembling the timeless style of a summer in Italy and the Còte d´Ázur. From the Amalfi Coast to breathtaking Venetian Canals to St. Tropez or Cap d´Ántibes…A colorful collection that evokes a fresh, lighthearted atmosphere and the sense of “joie de vivre” of this Mediterranean coastline and lush vegetation. ZIMMERMAN Zimmermann’s latest phase of American retail expansion has its sights set on Florida with a highly anticipated new boutique in the Miami Design District, bringing the label’s beloved fresh breath of sophisticated style and femininity to the shopping and culture mecca. The Miami Design District storefront is just one of three locations opening doors in Florida. The striking boutique spans 2,354 square feet and includes a mix of vintage furniture and lighting fixtures that have been selected to complement the light and airy contemporary space. The Australian artworks were curated to marry the brand’s ethos with the vibrant energy of Miami. ART NOULA | ART EXHIBITION NOULA addresses historical and contemporary systemic issues, while using the homeland of Haiti as an example and a beacon. This exhibition illuminates the great contributions Haiti has offered throughout history. These artists, in their cultural context, are addressing stereotypes, biases which affect self perception, and the misconception of their own country. AMANI LEWIS: “BALTIMORE’S FINEST: MR. GIRLYOUCRAZY & DEV” | MURAL In this mural, Amani constructed a double portrait highlighting a creative couple from their hometown of Baltimore. Spanning a massive 40ft x 12ft, the mural depicts Musician Mr. GirlYouCrazy and the fashion stylist Devrene, in tender embrace. The artist’s stylistic trademark, manipulated photographic imagery, is so detailed that eleven days were required to fully bring it to life. This portrayal of Black intimacy disarms stereotypical depictions and offers a glimpse into the fertile grounds of Baltimore’s artistic community. LUCIA FAINZILBER | PHOTOGRAPHY This window installation comprises three photographic series: Somewear, 2014; Wild Flowers, 2016; and The Cookbook, 2019) by New York-based Argentinian photographer Lucía Fainzilber. Arranged in the Melin Building windows, these highly stylized visual compositions trigger an enhanced sensorial perception through a deliberate manipulation of the artist’s preferred subjects: fabrics, food, and color. As an immigrant female artist working in New York City, the experiences of cultural and gender difference inform Fainzilber’s approach to photography, and distinguish her idiosyncratic body of work.

75 days, 13 hours, 25 minutes. When the light at the end of Circuit Paul Ricard's pit-lane turns green this Friday to commence W Series' practice session for the fifth race of the 2022 season in south-eastern France, that is how long it will have been since Jamie Chadwick (Jenner Racing, 24, UK) overtook Emma Kimiläinen (Puma W Series Team, 33, FIN) for the lead of the season-opener in Miami, USA. The reigning double W Series champion has not looked back since. Jamie followed up that dramatic initial victory with three dominant lights-to-flag wins in Miami, Barcelona, and Silverstone – topping all seven W Series sessions, including practice and qualifying, along the way – to give her a maximum 100 points so far this term and a commanding 47-point lead over nearest challenger Abbi Pulling (Racing X, 19, UK) in the championship standings with six races remaining. Jamie will go for her seventh straight W Series race win – a run of success dating back to 23 October 2021 in Austin, Texas, USA – this weekend in Le Castellet, which lies approximately 50km (31 miles) east of France's second-most populous city, Marseille. The race in support of the Formula 1® Lenovo Grand Prix De France 2022, is the first of back-to-back W Series events – the sixth race of the season takes place at the Hungaroring, Hungary, next weekend (29-30 July) – which conclude the international single-seater motor racing championship for women drivers' European races for 2022 ahead of F1's traditional summer break in August. This will be W Series' 15th race in Europe but first in France and, while there are no French drivers among the 18 – who represent 10 different nations – on this year's grid, several of the class of 2022 are familiar with the 5.842km (3.63 miles) Circuit Paul Ricard, which hosted its first F1 Grand Prix in 1971. Jamie competed there in the Formula Regional European Championship in 2020, finishing all three races inside the top 10. Belen Garcia (Quantfury Racing W Series Team, 22, ESP) has contested five races at Paul Ricard – three in the 2019 F4 Spanish Championship, which team-mate Nerea Martí (Quantfury Racing W Series Team, 20, ESP) also took part in, and two in last year's Formula Regional European Championship. Beitske Visser (Sirin Racing W Series Team, 27, NED) raced there in the Formula V8 3.5 Series in 2014 and 2016, and in the European Le Mans Series in 2020. Abbi, Fabienne Wohlwend (CortDAO Racing W Series Team, 24, LIE), and Emely De Heus (Sirin Racing W Series Team, 19, NED) have tested at Paul Ricard. It will be a home race of sorts for British pair Abbi and Alice Powell (Click2Drive Bristol Street Motors Racing W Series Team, 29, UK), who are both members of the BWT Alpine F1 Team which is owned by French automotive company Groupe Renault. This year, Abbi joined Alpine's Academy and Affiliate programme, for which Alice is a Talent Identification and Development Mentor. Alice has a long-standing affiliation with the team and, like Abbi, lives a few miles away from Alpine's factory in Enstone, Oxfordshire. Last year's W Series runner-up made history in 2009 when she became the youngest-ever female driver to compete in the Formula Renault UK Championship. A year later, Alice was the first woman to win a Formula Renault Championship race. W Series' schedule for this weekend starts on Friday 22 July with a 30-minute practice session at 10.40 (local time, CEST), followed by qualifying from 19.25 to 19.55 on the same day. The race starts at 14.50 on Saturday 23 July and will be 30 minutes plus one lap. British fans can watch the fifth race of the 2022 W Series season live from Circuit Paul Ricard on Sky Sports F1 from 13.30 BST on Saturday 23 July, with qualifying live on Sky Sports F1 at 18.10 BST on Friday 22 July. Highlights of the race will be on Channel 4 at 09.00 BST on Sunday 24 July. W Series' practice session will be streamed live globally across our YouTube channel from 09:40 BST on Friday 22 July. The action can also be seen across W Series' digital and social channels, as well as being broadcast in more than 175 territories with a full list available here. By ML Staff.

An insider's tour of Miami offering an array of non-tourist activities including must-visit places and things to do. Key Biscayne That puts you next to the Rickenbacker Causeway and the entrance to Key Biscayne. The drive goes over the water, with one of the best views of Miami’s skyline, past the public beaches, the Miami Seaquarium, the Crandon/Key Biscayne golf course (one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the area), the site of the Sony Open tennis tournament and along the main street of the Village of Key Biscayne. Key Biscayne boasts stunning multimillion dollar homes as well as beautiful Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Turn down just about any of the side streets to spot some of the most stunning multimillion dollar homes around, or continue straight to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. That’s at the end of the island, with its bike trails, beach and the oldest structure in the county, the Cape Florida lighthouse. Look south to glimpse what’s left of Stiltsville. It was a community of 27 shacks mounted on pilings out on the shallows of Biscayne Bay, established in the 1930s. There are only seven left. It’s also a good spot for manatee-sighting. Insider stop: If you’re feeling adventurous and have access to a boat, the Neptune Memorial Society Reef, just over three miles due east into the bay, is truly unique. It’s an underwater mausoleum for cremated remains, 40 feet below the surface, designed as an “artistic representation” of the Lost City of Atlantis. It’s also a living man-made reef eventually expected to spread over 16 acres. Financial District and Downtown The way back from the Key dumps you on Brickell Avenue for a drive through Miami's financial district, to the Christopher Columbus statue on the bridge at the mouth of the Miami River. There’s another insider stop there: Rooftop soccer, with games played nearly a dozen stories up atop an office building where Brickell meets the river. It’s mostly lawyers and bankers shedding their wingtips on weeknights, but just about anyone is welcome to watch and yell, “Gooooooool!” Perez Art Museum Miami From there you can continue along the waterfront edge of Miami's downtown. That takes you past the Perez Art Museum Miami; Bayside Marketplace – a decidedly touristy outdoor mall, but with enough unique shops and such a great view that locals like it, too; the magnificently restored (and breathtakingly lit at night) Freedom Tower; and the American Airlines Arena, home of the Miami Heat. A great side trip to one of the best restaurant zones in the area and to a storied bar that’s a favorite for locals is just a one-block jog west to Miami Avenue, starting at Coral Way. Miami Avenue is effectively 0 Street, the dividing point between East and West roads, and it takes you through Mary Brickell Village (Eat anywhere; you can’t go wrong.) That also puts you right by the east end of one of Miami’s best-known streets, Calle Ocho –Eighth Street, in English – in the center of Little Havana. Access to Miami Beach is next to the arena. The MacArthur Causeway takes you past the striking Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Miami Children's Museum and Jungle Island, then drops down to water level for an incomparable view of cruise ship row on one side and the exclusive island houses of the stars that the likes of Al Capone, Shaquille O'Neal, and Gloria Estefan have all called home. Miami Beach The road ends at South Beach, where movie stars, millionaires, models and regular folks like you and I can get a ground-level view of Ocean Drive, and the beach and the Art Deco hotels that have served as the iconic backdrop for ”Miami CSI,” “Miami Vice,” and just about every televised sporting event in a 25-mile radius. South Beach Every north-south street has a distinctive flavor, and is packed with restaurants and shops. East-West spots not to miss are tiny Española Way with its Mediterranean flair, and Lincoln Road, a chic, pedestrian-only mall lined with shops and eateries, most of which offer shaded outdoor eating under clusters of umbrellas. The stunning Holocaust Memorial stands a few blocks north, behind the convention center. Continuing north by car, Ocean Drive turns into Collins Drive and, just a few minutes later, to where it seems like you're going to smack into the back of the Fontainebleau hotel. You won't. Just follow the road for a drive between the hotels and the Intracoastal Waterway into the condo canyons of mid-beach. Design District and Wynwood Or follow the signs toward Arthur Godfrey Road. That'll take you back to the mainland to two of the hippest neighborhoods in the area, the Design District and Wynwood. Wynwood Wynwood is best known for casual eats, including clusters of food trucks, and as the heart of the new art scene. There are galleries galore, but no trip to South Florida is complete without a visit to the Wynwood Walls, a world-class display of graffiti by some of the top artists in the urban art field, such as Os Gemeos and Shepard Fairey (you know, the guy who did the famous Obama “Hope” poster). That’s just a few blocks from one of Miami’s most impressive structures, the Bacardi Buildings at 21st and Biscayne. They very deliberately merge art and innovative engineering, with massive murals of traditional Spanish blue and white tiles on one and walls made of one-inch thick hammered glass tapestries on the other. Restaurants in the Design District are equally trendy, but more upscale, with fusion menus and fancier décor. There’s art here, too. A whole crowd of jury-selected resident artists work and show at the Bakehouse Art Complex, and Swampspace Gallery regularly presents innovative Miami art. North County You can go back to the beach or take I-95 north to Bal Harbour Village and THE luxury shopping mall in the county, the Bal Harbour Shops; past an elevated look at the Sun Life Stadium where the Miami Dolphins play; amid the soaring condo-scrapers of Aventura and the Aventura Mall; and to the Oleta River State Park. It proudly pronounces itself Florida’s largest urban park, but we like it for its miles and miles of bike trails (novice to blistering expert paths) and its peaceful canoe and kayak river routes between the mangroves. You can rent what you need for a ride on land or water, and you can even spend the night in one of the rustic (but blissfully air-conditioned) cabins. The Coral Castle is a testament carved in 1,100 tons of coral rock to the undying – and unrequited – love of Edward Leedskalnin. Homestead and Redland One more area, at the opposite end of the county, has the exact opposite feel. Homestead and the neighboring Redland (which everybody calls The Redlands even if it’s wrong), is still largely rural, with a mix of Mexican and Old Florida. It’s got rodeo and narrow roads sided by plant and tree nurseries, mango groves and horse farms. El Taco Toro is probably the best authentic Mexican restaurant in the area, and Knaus Berry Farm (open only from November to mid-April) is a tradition. Folks gladly stand in line for a couple of hours or more for their oven-fresh pecan and cinnamon rolls. Robert is Here has some of the fattest and freshest veggies and fruits you’ll ever find, including carambola, mamey, lychee, atemoya, papaya, and plump and juicy mangoes. There’s a petting zoo out back, and do not leave without trying one of his smoothies. (You’ll thank me for that one.) Schnebly Redland’s Winery, just a little farther west, boasts of being the southernmost winery in the country and “crafters of the most exotic wines and beers in the world.” With flavors like lychee, mango, guava and avocado wine, it’s hard to argue with them. Head west, and a little south, if you want to visit the “river of grass.” The Florida Everglades National Park offers walking and biking trails, as well as canoe and kayak routes. Or stop at the Everglades Alligator Farm, where you can get up close and personal with some 2,000 of the reptiles, or take an airboat tour into the swamp. Two more stops, east of there. The Coral Castle is a quirky roadside attraction everybody ought to see at least once. That should leave you with enough questions to last a lifetime. Like, how did a skinny little guy barely five feet tall move slabs of coral rock weighing 58 tons each into place – using only hand tools? And how did a guy with a fourth grade education balance them so neatly that you can move a nine-ton coral gate with the push of a finger? The other place to see is Black Point Marina and Key Biscayne National Park. Black Point is a popular weekend spot on the water for music and beer. It’s next to the national park, a mostly underwater expanse big enough to hold Detroit and Atlanta with room to spare and containing a pristine coral reef and some of the best shallow diving grounds in the state. Too much to see in a single trip? Well, yeah! We know that. That’s why we live here. And why so many others know to find a fave or two, and explore others as they come back again and again. Face it, we haven’t talked about the Keys yet. By Carlos Harrison. Images courtesy of Florida State Park. Special thanks to Visitflorida.org for this story reprint
