title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: The winter white dwarf hamster (Phodopus sungorus), also known as the Russian dwarf hamster, Djungarian hamster, striped dwarf hamster, Siberian hamster, or Siberian dwarf hamster, is one of three species of hamster in the genus "Phodopus". It is ball-shaped and typically half the size of the Syrian hamster, so is called a dwarf hamster along with all "Phodopus" species. Features of the winter white hamster include a typically thick, dark grey dorsal stripe and furry feet. As winter approaches and the days shorten, the winter white dwarf hamster's dark fur is almost entirely replaced with white fur. In captivity, this does not usually happen as animals maintained as pets are generally housed indoors and exposed to artificial light that prevents the recognition of short winter daylengths. In the wild, they originate from the wheat fields of Kazakhstan, the meadows of Mongolia and Siberia, and the birch stands of Manchuria.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: Winter white dwarf hamsters are common as pets in Europe and North America, and exhibit greater variance in their coats than those found in the wild. They reproduce often—more so than Syrian hamsters, and as they have no fixed breeding season, can continue to produce some numbers of offspring all year round. Young pups act aggressively to one another, while breeding females may show similar aggression to males. The winter white is known to be one of the most tameable types of hamsters.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: The hamster has no fully accepted common name, winter white dwarf hamster and Russian dwarf hamster are among the most often used. Confusion arises because of their physical similarity to Campbell's dwarf hamster, consequently, the name Djungarian hamster and Russian dwarf can refer to both winter white and Campbell's dwarf hamsters. The term "winter white" derives from the fact that in the wild the hamster changes its fur colour to white for the winter months, this camouflages the hamster and reduces predation when snow is on the ground. Campbell's dwarf hamsters do not change fur colour during the winter and can only be described as being "winter white" erroneously.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: The binomial name for the hamster is "Phodopus sungorus". The hamster was first described by Peter Simon Pallas in 1773 as a mouse. The name "sungorus" derives from the geographic region Dzungaria. In 1778, Pallas renamed the hamster to "Mouse songarus".


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: In 1912 Ned Hollister ordered the "Mouse songarus" to the genus "Phodopus". A. I. Argiropulo, in 1933, changed the name to "priority sungorus" and determined the hamster as a subspecies of Campbell's dwarf hamster called "Phodopus sungorus sungorus". Today winter white dwarf hamsters and Campbell's dwarf hamsters are considered separate species with the winter white officially known as "Phodopus sungorus".


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: The coat of the winter white dwarf hamster is less woolly than that of Campbell's dwarf hamster, and apart from the normal colouring, they can be coloured sapphire, sapphire pearl, or normal pearl. The head and body length of the winter white dwarf hamster is 70–90 mm, the length of the tail is 5–15 mm, and the hind legs are 11–15 mm. The body weight changes dramatically throughout the year. It is at its lowest during the winter. In males, the body weight ranges from , and in females, . In human care, they are slightly heavier. The average lifespan of the winter white dwarf hamster is one to three years in captivity, though they can live longer. In the wild, they are known to live as little as one year.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: In summer, the fur of the winter white hamster on the back changes from ash-grey to dark brown, or sometimes pale brown with a tint. The face changes to grey or brown, while the mouth area, the whisker area, and the ears are slightly brighter. The outer ears and the eyes have black edges. The rest of the head is dark brown or black. From the head to the tail runs a black-brown dorsal stripe. The throat, belly, tail and limbs are white. The ears are grey with a pinkish tint with scattered black hairs. The hairs on the underside are completely white.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: The bright coat the bottom extends to the shoulders, flanks, and hips in three arches upward. It is distinguished from the darker fur on the top of the existing black-brown hair, three curved line.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: Apart from the typical colouration, winter white dwarf hamsters can also be coloured pearl, sapphire, sapphire pearl, and marbled. Other colorations are available, but these are strongly suspected to appear only in hybrid crossings with Campbell's dwarf hamsters. Some of these colorations are mandarin, blue, argente, yellow blue fawn, camel, brown, cream, merle, and umbrous.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: More than 10% of the hamsters kept in the first winter develop the summer coat. In the second winter, only a few change into the winter coat and winter colour is less pronounced. The moulting in the winter fur starts in October or November and is completed in December, while the summer coat begins in January or February and is completed in March or early April. The ears are grey with a pinkish tint.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: Moulting both run jobs on the head and the back of the spine to the sides, the legs and the underside. The hairs grow longer in the summer, to about ten millimetres long.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: Day length can be less than 14 hours to initiate the change to winter coat, though it is possible they may be able to sense a directional change in photoperiod length, such as in one experiment that demonstrated a transition from 16 hours of light to 14 hours initiates a change to the winter coat. The change to the winter coat can be triggered in the summer by the short day lengths. The change occurs back to the summer coat in the autumn, when the length of the days change again. At internal temperatures hamsters in captivity start later with the changes. The winter colour is less pronounced in them. The eyes of the winter white hamster are black, unless it is albino in which case they are red.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: In the wild, the hamster's fur changes colour in the winter. This adaptation helps them to evade predators in the snow-covered steppes. The hamster digs tunnels one metre deep leading to ground burrows where they can sleep, raise their young and hide from predators. The weasel is one of the hamster's main predators. Most of these burrows have six entrances. In the summer, the burrows are lined with moss. To keep the burrow warm in the winter, the hamster closes all but one entrance and lines the burrows with animal fur or wool that it finds. The temperature inside the burrow is usually . The hamsters sometimes live in the semideserts in Central Asia. They also live in the dry steppes and wheat or alfalfa fields, as well as on small fields in the forests of the region around Minusinsk. The fur on the hamster's feet protect the feet from the cold ground in the cold climates in the wild. The population density is highly varied. In 1968, the first four examples of the hamster were caught in Western Siberia and brought to the Max Planck Institute in Germany.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: The hamsters are often found on the pet market in Europe, Japan, and North America. Care of the hamster is similar to all other species of "Phodopus". The hamsters, along with most rodents, are prone to tumours. They can also receive injury in the cheek pouch by sharp objects damaging the fragile inner lining. Other health problems include bite wounds, broken teeth, constipation, dehydration, dental malocclusion, diarrhea, and ear problems.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: Winter white dwarf hamsters reproduce at a faster rate than Syrian hamsters. "Phodopus" species are able to become pregnant again on the same day that they have given birth. This can all happen within a 36-day period. This is done as a survival strategy to produce large numbers of offspring in a short period of time. This places tremendous demands on the mother. Research suggests biparental care in Campbell's hamsters ("P. campbelli") but not in winter white hamsters ("P. sungorus"). Frequent fighting can occur between the pups and as soon as they are weaned from their mother, they are separated from her. Most of the dwarf hamsters grow to 3 to 4" long. Hamsters maintained indoors that get artificial illumination during autumn and winter are likely to breed all year round, whereas in the wild and in animals maintained in captivity but under entirely natural light-dark cycles, breeding is restricted to the long days of spring and summer.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: During the breeding time, the hamster may become aggressive. After mating, the female may want to attack the male to protect her babies. The male usually hides in holes or caves to escape the vicious bite of the female. The hamster's estrous cycle lasts four days; every four days, the female may accept the male back to breed again. This usually occurs when the darkness of the evening sets in. If male and female hamsters are not housed together from a young age, determining if the female is willing to breed with the male is difficult.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: Of the five species of hamsters kept commonly as pets, only Campbell's dwarf hamster and the winter white dwarf hamster are able to interbreed and produce live hybrid offspring. Although hybrids make suitable pets, the breeding of hybrids and cloning can cause health and reproduction problems. In addition, the widespread breeding and distribution of hybrids could threaten the existence of both pure species and subspecies of the ecosystem, resulting in only mongrels. Hybridizing causes each litter to become smaller and the young begin to form congenital problems.


title: Winter white dwarf hamster

text: This hamster is listed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The population and distribution size are large, and no major or widespread threats to the species are known. Population numbers in the wild are not recorded.

text: Paul Bocuse (; 11 February 1926 – 20 January 2018) was a French chef based in Lyon who was known for the high quality of his restaurants and his innovative approaches to cuisine.


title: Paul Bocuse

text: A student of Eugénie Brazier, he was one of the most prominent chefs associated with the "nouvelle cuisine", which is less opulent and calorific than the traditional "cuisine classique", and stresses the importance of fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Paul Bocuse claimed that Henri Gault first used the term, "nouvelle cuisine", to describe food prepared by Bocuse and other top chefs for the maiden flight of the Concorde airliner in 1969.


title: Paul Bocuse

text: Bocuse made many contributions to French gastronomy both directly and indirectly, because he had numerous students, many of whom have become notable chefs themselves. One of his students was Austrian Eckart Witzigmann, one of four "Chefs of the Century" and chef at the first German restaurant to receive three Michelin stars. Since 1987, the "Bocuse d'Or" has been regarded as the most prestigious award for chefs in the world (at least when French food is considered), and is sometimes seen as the unofficial world championship for chefs. Bocuse received numerous awards throughout his career, including the medal of Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur.


title: Paul Bocuse

text: The Culinary Institute of America honoured Bocuse in their Leadership Awards Gala on 30 March 2011. He received the "Chef of the Century" award. In July 2012 the Culinary Institute of America announced in "The New York Times" that they would change the name of their Escoffier Restaurant to the Bocuse Restaurant, after a year-long renovation.


title: Paul Bocuse

text: In 1975, he created "soupe aux truffes" (truffle soup) for a presidential dinner at the Élysée Palace. Since then, the soup has been served in Bocuse's restaurant near Lyon as "Soupe V.G.E.", VGE being the initials of former president of France Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.


title: Paul Bocuse

text: Bocuse's main restaurant, "L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges", is a luxury establishment near Lyon, which has been serving a traditional menu for decades. It was one of only 27 restaurants in France to receive a three-star rating in 2017 by the Michelin Guide. However, it lost its record-breaking 55-year long 3-star rating in the 2020 Michelin Guide, sparking controversy in the French culinary world. He also operated a chain of brasseries in Lyon, named "Le Nord", "L'Est", "Le Sud" and "L'Ouest", each of which specialize in a different aspect of French cuisine.

text: Paul Bocuse's son, Jérôme, manages the "Les Chefs de France" restaurant which the elder Bocuse co-founded with Roger Vergé and Gaston Lenôtre and is located inside the French pavilion at Walt Disney World's EPCOT.


title: Paul Bocuse

text: Bocuse was considered an ambassador of modern French cuisine. He was honoured in 1961 with the title Meilleur Ouvrier de France. He had been apprenticed to Fernand Point, a master of classic French cuisine. Bocuse dedicated his first book to him.

title: Eternal Atake

text: Eternal Atake is the second studio album by American rapper Lil Uzi Vert. It is their first project since their 2017 studio album "Luv Is Rage 2". After being initially announced in 2018, the album was released on March 6, 2020, through Generation Now and Atlantic Records as a surprise release. The album was supported by the singles "Futsal Shuffle 2020" and "That Way", which later appeared as the album's bonus tracks. The album features a sole guest appearance from American singer Syd.


title: Eternal Atake

text: "Eternal Atake" received widespread acclaim and debuted atop the US "Billboard" 200, becoming Lil Uzi Vert's second US number-one album. The deluxe version of the album, titled "Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2", was released a week later on March 13, featuring new guest appearances from Chief Keef, 21 Savage, Future, Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Durk, Young Nudy, and Nav.


title: Eternal Atake

text: In July 2018, Lil Uzi Vert published two messages to Twitter, "Eternal Atake" and "Eternal means forever. Atake means 2 overtake", that were described as cryptic. On July 31, 2018, which was also Lil Uzi's 23rd birthday, they removed all posts from their Instagram profile except for two—a snippet of "New Patek" and the old cover art of "Eternal Atake". On December 9, Lil Uzi confirmed that "Eternal Atake" had been finished and was set for release.


title: Eternal Atake

text: On January 11, 2019, Lil Uzi announced via Instagram that they had "deleted everything" and were "done with music", although many believed this could merely have been a publicity stunt and/or a promotional roll-out for the album. On March 3, 2020, Lil Uzi revealed a new album cover on Twitter, after allowing fans to vote on the new cover.


title: Eternal Atake

text: On March 7, 2020, a fan noticed on Twitter that the album was split into 3 parts which represent the different personas of Woods including: "Baby Pluto" (track 1–6), "Renji" (track 7–12) and "Lil Uzi Vert" (track 13–18); this was confirmed by Lil Uzi. They also confirmed that the first half of the album represent Uzi Vert taking off in a spaceship while the second half represents them journeying through space.


title: Eternal Atake

text: On July 13, 2018, Lil Uzi shared the original cover art of "Eternal Atake", which is a rework of Heaven's Gate's logo. The cover art consists of the words "Eternal Atake" written inside a keyhole. In response to the cover art, the two surviving members of the cult suggested that legal actions could be taken against Lil Uzi for using their logo. A representative of the group stated in an email that "[Uzi] is using and adapting our copyrights and trademarks without our permission and the infringement will be taken up with our attorneys. This is not fair use or parody, it is a direct and clear infringement".


title: Eternal Atake

text: On March 2 and 3, 2020, Lil Uzi previewed three cover arts via Twitter and asked their fans to pick the cover they preferred in a series of polls. The second cover won and became the album's official artwork, however; Lil Uzi confirmed that they would still use the third cover, but as the background for the tracklist, and as a back cover for physical copies.


title: Eternal Atake

text: On November 30, Lil Uzi tweeted that the single they are "going with" from "Eternal Atake" would be a "dance record" titled "Futsal"; it was released on December 13, 2019, as "Futsal Shuffle 2020" and the album's first single. The album's second single "That Way", was spontaneously released on March 1, 2020. It interpolates the hook to Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way".


title: Eternal Atake

text: The album was originally set to be released on July 19, 2019, before this ultimately missed with Lil Uzi commenting on they simply don't know when the album would be releasing. Lil Uzi later returned on an Instagram Live on February 28, 2020, to announce that the album would be released within two weeks, potentially making the release date March 13, 2020. However, Lil Uzi unexpectedly released the album on March 6, 2020.


title: Eternal Atake

text: On March 7, Lil Uzi announced a deluxe edition on Twitter. Two of these tracks were confirmed the same day: "Bean (Kobe)" which features American rapper Chief Keef and "Myron", two tracks that have been previously previewed by Lil Uzi Vert on social media. They later teased that songs with Young Thug, Future, A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Lil Baby were complete. The second part of the album, entitled "Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2", was released on March 13, 2020.


title: Eternal Atake

text: On September 18, 2018, Lil Uzi released a promotional single called "New Patek". On April 9, 2019, two new promotional singles were released: "That's a Rack" and "Sanguine Paradise".

text: "Eternal Atake" was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 84, based on nine reviews.


title: Eternal Atake

text: Writing for "Consequence," M. T. Richards gave the album a favorable review, stating that ""Eternal Atake" splits the difference between P-Funk and electro. In an ironic twist of fate, the year's most futuristic rap album comes courtesy of someone who'd been dismissed as a relic". Richards further praises Uzi Vert's performance, saying that they sound "alert, refreshed, and sometimes thrilled" on the album. In her review for "NME", Kyann-Sian Williams praised the album, writing, "Again, [they have] made another record that will stay close to the hearts of a generation of rap fans. [They are] surely our generation's Lil Wayne". Writing for "Exclaim!", Kyle Mullin stated positive opinions regarding the album, praising the production as well as the transitions between songs. Mullin mentions that "Uzi nimbly switches from relatedly lovelorn speak-singing on 'Bust Me' to rugged, speedy punch line powerhouse on the very next track, 'Prices'. That transition is merely one of the energetic and unpredictable performative tricks Uzi pulls off on this stadium sized LP". Scott Glaysher of "HipHopDX" said, "There is no denying Lil Uzi Vert's unconventional version of rap has been polarizing for the better part of the last five years yet "Eternal Atake" should be celebrated. [They maneuver] within the cockpit of [their] comfort zone, navigating a galaxy of different genres while keeping the essence of rap at the forefront". Alphonse Pierre of "Pitchfork" gave the album a positive review, saying that "The expectations were otherworldly. And somehow, Uzi met those expectations. "Eternal Atake" is Uzi's greatest album to date, a scope-defying hour-long epic that couldn't be made by anyone else".

text: Fred Thomas of AllMusic saying "Even though it's a lengthy journey and some of the songs start to feel similar, nothing here is filler". Danny Schwartz of "Rolling Stone" was also positive towards the album, stating that "It is difficult to remember a rap album released to such fervid expectations, let alone one that lived up to those expectations. "Eternal Atake" is Lil Uzi Vert's best album yet, with a cohesiveness, slick concept, and performance that justifies every ounce of hype". In a mixed review, "RapReviews" critic Steve "Flash" Juon wrote the following: "If you absolutely can not stand rappers who should be called singers then you need to take a hard pass on Vert, but if you occasionally (or more often than that) enjoy the crooning, Vert is at least someone who can put it together in a way that is surprisingly decent and occasionally quite good."


title: Eternal Atake

text: "Eternal Atake" debuted atop the US "Billboard" 200 dated March 21, 2020, with 288,000 album-equivalent units (including 9,000 pure album sales). The album earned 400 million US streams in its first week, which was the fourth-largest streaming debut at the time of its release. It is Lil Uzi Vert's second US number-one album. The album remained at number one on the "Billboard" 200 in its second week with 247,000 album-equivalent units. It was sustained in part due to a deluxe edition which was released the following week. "Eternal Atake" was the seventh best selling album of 2020 with 1.860 million album-equivalent units in the United States.


title: Eternal Atake

text: Following its first week of availability, three songs from the album debuted in the top ten of the US "Billboard" Hot 100, led by "Baby Pluto" at number six, "Lo Mein" at number eight and "Silly Watch" at number nine, making Lil Uzi Vert the fourth act to debut at least three songs in the Hot 100's top 10 simultaneously. The same week, they charted 20 total songs, including all 18 from "Eternal Atake" (16 of which debuted).


title: Eternal Atake

text: Following its first day of release, "Eternal Atake" occupied every position within the top 20 on Spotify's US Top 50 chart, except three positions. The track "Baby Pluto" also dethroned Roddy Ricch's "The Box" from the top spot on the chart with over 3.3 million US streams, marking the first time the song descended from number one since late December 2019.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Modular Buildings is a series of Lego building toy sets introduced in 2007, with new sets usually being released annually. Created in response to feedback and suggestions from the Adult Fans of Lego bricks (AFOL) and Teen Fans of Lego (TFOL) communities, the sets in this series are generally intended for more advanced builders. Most sets contain more than 2,000 total pieces and make use of unorthodox building techniques not usually used in previous official Lego sets. In contrast to most Lego sets aimed at children and adolescents, the suggested age of most sets in the Modular Buildings series is 16 years or older. The Modular Buildings sets have been received with positive reviews and are considered by Lego designers and fans as "toys for adults".


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: In 2006, a poll was taken, aimed at the community. Adults were asked to share and opinions about what concept they would like to see for a future model from the Lego Group. Some of the common ideas submitted were more town and everyday buildings, structures with more architectural detail, realistic buildings, minifigure scale buildings, solid and enclosed buildings. These ideas were taken into consideration and a year later the first set in the Modular Buildings series, Café Corner, was released. Some LEGO fans were invited to provide feedback and suggestions during the design of the set.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: All sets in the series can also be joined together to form a larger neighborhood layout of several buildings standing adjacent to each other. Connectors at the base of the models are aligned for easy connection with other models in the series.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Café Corner (set number: 10182) was the first of the Modular Buildings series sold exclusively through Lego stores. It was originally released in April 2007. The set contains 2056 pieces and is recommended for builders 10 years of age or older. Some of the set features include a three floor building set on a street corner, a vertical 'Hotel' sign, opening doors and windows, café tables and umbrellas, a striped awning and three minifigures. Many unusual building techniques were incorporated, such as annexes, fanned minifigure-sized skis as decoration, angled corner, and a 3D façade.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: During development of this first set in the series, the designer team led by Jamie Berard considered the cost of several options. One more expensive version had additional café features, dark green interior walls, a bike and an additional minifigure. In contrast, a lower cost version of the set was considered which lacked rear exterior walls, interior stairs, and extra interior walls on the second floor, and had only two minifigures but no bike.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Lego fans could suggest improvements to the initial prototypes such as adding color to the roof, which was originally gray, and translucent elements to the hotel sign.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Market Street (set number: 10190) was the second of the Modular Buildings series and designed by Dutch Lego fan Eric Brok under the Lego Factory theme, a theme composed of sets primarily designed by fans of Lego and not by the Lego design team. It was originally released as a follow-up to Café Corner in Fall 2007 . The set contains 1236 pieces and is recommended for builders 10 years of age or older. It was one of the first leading buildings. The set features include opening doors and windows, a gate, a striped awning, and three minifigures. Advanced construction techniques used in Market Street include: curved staircases, "stripped paint" sections on the walls, interchangeable floors, Dutch/Belgian stepped roof, a basement, offset windows, and wrought iron-look decoration and gate.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Market Street is a unique set in the Modular Buildings series in that it has fewer than 2000 pieces and is recommended for builders 10 years and up rather than the usual 16. One of the reasons this set was smaller than the others was to provide a lower cost entry point into the Modular Buildings series. Prior to 2018, this was the only Modular Building set to have minifigures that did not all have the Lego classic smile face.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Market Street is the only set in the series to be released with Lego Factory branding on the box – and as such is sometimes questioned how official it was intended to be as a modular building entry as it was designed by a fan rather than a Lego designer. Eric Brok, a fan from the Netherlands, designed the set working closely with LEGO designers.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Green Grocer (set number: 10185) was the third of the Modular Buildings series. It was originally released in March 2008. The set contains 2352 pieces and is recommended for builders 16 years of age or older. Some of the set features include a blue and white awning, opening doors and windows, detailed interiors to each room, a roof terrace, a fire escape, access to a courtyard behind the building, and four minifigures. Advanced building techniques used in Green Grocer include using black skeleton legs and hammers to make railings, black spear guns as railings for the fire escape, a paddle for a pendulum in a grandfather clock, and hinges to make a bay window.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Green Grocer differs from the previous two sets in the series because it has a greater level of detail inside. Whereas Café Corner and Market Street had bare interiors, each floor in Green Grocer contains a prop such as a radiator or some furniture. The first floor is fully furnished as a grocery store with refrigerated shelves with opening doors and cartons of food. The assortment of Lego food pieces in the grocery includes carrots, apples, and bananas. There is also a stairway to the apartment above and a mailbox set with letters.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Fire Brigade (set number: 10197) was the fourth set in the Modular Buildings series released in September 2009. The set contains 2231 pieces and is recommended for builders 16 years of age or older. Modeled to look like a realistic 1930s fire station, the set includes a bell tower, an opening garage door, a 1930s style fire truck, and four minifigures with a fire-dog. Unlike the other modulars, all floors in the Fire Brigade set are fully furnished. The Fire Brigade is the first Modular to come with a vehicle, the 1930s-style fire truck. The set also includes some new, unique pieces, such as gold fire helmets and a red sliding garage door.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: New building techniques introduced with this set include a method of creating numbers built into the structure using standard Lego bricks. On the front of the building the year 1932 appears, which is a reference to when Lego was founded. The number 3 also appears on the pavement of the set representing that this is the third set on the series from Lego set designer Jamie Berard, who had previously designed Café Corner and Green Grocer.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Grand Emporium (set number: 10211) is the fifth set in the Modular Buildings series and second corner building released in March 2010. The set contains 2182 pieces and is recommended for builders 16 years of age or older. Modeled to look like a realistic early 20th century department store, the set includes an exterior with an ice cream stand, store window displays, window washer platform, and rooftop billboard. Interior details for the three-floor building include an escalator, dressing room, and a wide assortment of merchandise. It is built as a block corner building, similarly to Café Corner, Palace Cinema, Brick Bank, and Corner Garage. There are seven minifigures, including two that are decorated with blank faces to look like mannequins.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Pet Shop (set number: 10218) is the sixth set in the Modular Buildings series released in May 2011. The set contains 2032 pieces and is recommended for builders 16 years of age or older. It is the first set in the series that is actually two buildings that separate using the same Technic pins that link the rest of the modular buildings together. They can be reversed or separated and wrapped around another building. The brown building is a brownstone-style town house with elevated ground floor atop a crawl-space and the sand blue building is the Pet Shop. The brown building was the second building after Market Street that had a basement. There is a feature on the Pet Shop on the ground floor where the staircase can be folded away for more access room for playing as this was an issue with Market Street. There are four minifigures, two parrots, one dog, one cat, and a fish tank with goldfish. The set also includes three dog bones, a ball, a frog toy, a birdhouse, a bucket, and a brush. Until the Brick Bank, this was also the shortest set by height and stands at just over 25 cm. The next tallest modular is Market Street at 33 cm. The set includes a full interior including a toilet, bed, kitchen, and fireplace.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Town Hall (set number: 10224) was released in March 2012 and is the seventh set in the Modular Building line. The set contains 2766 pieces and is recommended for builders 14 and over. It is the tallest Modular set, taking the title from the Green Grocer, having three floors with generally higher ceilings than the norm, plus a clock and bell tower on the roof. It contains many interior details, such as a working elevator, along with board tables and balconies to look to the floor below. Along with the many interior decor details, the building features the pilastered portico and brick façade treatments of United States Colonial Revival architecture. The 1891 date on the building represents the birth year of the founder of Lego and when reversed, it is the birth year of the designer, Astrid Graabæk (1981). The set was released by Lego on 16 February 2012. There are eight minifigures in the set including a wedding couple. The set had a global discontinuation date of 31 December 2014 and had a much shorter lifespan than its predecessors.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Palace Cinema (set number: 10232) was released in March 2013. It is the eighth set in the Modular Building line and the third corner building. The set contains 2194 pieces and features architectural homage to the Egyptian Revival architecture of the early 20th century, albeit with Chinese-like cultural appropriations similar to Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theatre. As such, it also features Hollywood Walk of Fame type printed star tiles for the outer sidewalk, LEGO elements that returned to decorate the walls in 2018's Downtown Diner. Palace Cinema is the first Modular Building set to be released with the Lego Creator Expert branding on its box and was the first to include stickers. Some of these are movie posters containing Lego in-jokes such as the ubiquitous brick separator tool used to disassemble (Godzilla-like "The Brick Separator"), the time-consuming sorting of Lego elements ("Forever Sorting"), and Lego's iconic 1990 red Airport Shuttle 6399 set ("Mystery On The Monorail"). Also, Palace Cinema was the first of the Modular Building sets to have only two floors (albeit with higher ceilings than the norm) instead of the usual three and the second to include a vehicle: a black car styled loosely on a convertible Buick.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The ground floor is the ticket and concessions area leading up to the theater floor housing a reel-to-reel projector showing a black and white motion picture to a maximum seating of six. This floor also has stairs accessing the roof, atop which the two brick-built promotional searchlights can be placed. The set includes six minifigures.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Parisian Restaurant (set number: 10243) is the ninth set in the Modular Building line and was released in January 2014. This set contains 2469 pieces and has a fully stocked, blue and white tiled kitchen with tableware serving two interior tables, two street-side tables (on a patio tiled in a subtle design with the word "CHEZ"), and two upper terrace tables. On the first upper floor (terrace level) is as an apartment with pull-down Murphy bed, kitchenette and fireplace. On the top floor is the artist's studio that includes a cast iron heater, easel, paintbrush, and two works of Mondrian-style Modernist art. This is a nod to the fact that the original Lego brick color palette of red, blue, yellow, black, and white were chosen based on Mondrian's art. Outside the upper floor stairs lead down to the roof terrace for diners lined with hanging lanterns and flowers. This set also includes hard-to-find white croissants and brick elements in olive green, dark blue, and dark red. Advanced exterior details include façade with croissant detailing, sidewalk, bench, scooter, and a dumpster and trash can at the back. The set includes five minifigures.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The Detective's Office (set number: 10246) is the tenth set in the Modular Building line and was released 1 January 2015. This set contains 2262 pieces. It contains a detective's office, a barbershop named "Al's", a billiards table "pool" room, and an upstairs detective's office with a corridor. The "Al's" sign resembles the various brick-built lettering signs from the Pet Shop, Town Hall, and Fire Brigade. The featured "Pool" sign uses a building technique never used before. The interior of the pool room features a fan, a pool table, and a dart board. The detective office features clues, a cabinet, and a secret storage space behind a picture. The barbershop features a mirror, scissors, lights, and chairs for customers. The apartment holds an old-style toilet and a small kitchen. This Modular varies from previous buildings in that it introduced play features of a secretive or "illicit" nature: it has secret compartments that allow cookie smuggling throughout the building. It also is different because it is the first Modular to have two buildings on the same baseplate. The front of the building features a newspaper stand, a tree, and two balconies. It includes six minifigures.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Brick Bank (set number: 10251) is the eleventh set in the Modular Building line and is the shortest Modular in height, the fourth block corner building, and the first corner building to not feature a direct-corner entrance. It was released on 1 January 2016. This set contains 2380 pieces. Like the Palace Cinema it contains only two furnished floors although it also had higher than normal ceilings like the Cinema.It is also the most expensive Lego modular building.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The Brick Bank features a bank, secretary's office, bank manager's office, laundromat, and a detailed façade and sidewalk. The bank features an atrium foyer with wide, arched entrance, triangular-patterned floor tiling, ornate chandelier, oxidized-copper colored skylight, transaction counter with hidden alarm buttons and security glass, and a bank vault with safe deposit boxes and a large round door. The laundromat features a printed window, tiled floor and four laundry machines—one of which contains a play feature for "laundering money": placing Lego money bills or coin elements through this machine will fall into a special deposit box inside the bank's vault. The rooftop also has another play feature for a robber to descend the chimney by rope and exit through a special entrance atop the bank vault. The secretary's office features a wall clock, desk, typewriter, cabinet with opening drawers, fireplace, and an espresso machine. The bank manager's office features a large desk with banker's lamp and approval stamp, leather-look chair, printed portrait, statue, and a cabinet. It includes five minifigures.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The Brick Bank also introduced some rare elements such as a metalized-paint gold ingot and coins, and the less-common colors of Sand Blue and Sand Green.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Assembly Square (set number: 10255) is the twelfth set in the Modular Building line. It was released on 1 January 2017. This set is the biggest of all Lego modular buildings it contains more pieces than any previous Modular set at 4002 pieces as well as the most minifigures: nine when including an infant figure (a dentist, barista, baker, florist, music store assistant, dancer, photographer and a LEGO® fan, plus a baby figure).


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The Assembly Square ground level features a bakery with counter, cash register, shelves, opening oven, wedding cake and assorted buildable pastries and treats; a florist's shop with counter, cash register, garden tools, flower arrangements, bouquets and a blue and yellow macaw parrot element; and a café with an espresso machine, counter, bench seating and pie elements. The middle level features a music store with a buildable drum set, two guitars and saxophone element; photo studio with an "antique" large-format bellows camera atop an adjustable tripod; and a dental office with buildable reclining chair, waiting area, telephone and a sink. The upper level features a dance studio with buildable piano and reflective mirror element; an apartment with buildable foldout sofa bed, detailed kitchen, toilet, micro Lego train, modular buildings and Eiffel Tower, and access to a rooftop terrace with buildable barbecue, table and a neglected plant.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: This set marked the tenth anniversary of the Modular building sets and contains numerous "easter egg" references in the set's use of brick elements, colors, and architectural details used in Modular sets released over the previous years. It measures over 13" (35 cm) high, 14" (38 cm) wide and 9" (25 cm) deep.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Downtown Diner (set number: 10260) is the thirteenth set in the Modular Building line. It was released on 1 January 2018 and contains 2480 pieces. This building reintroduces the teal color (what Lego calls Bright Blueish Green) that had not been in production since 2008. The first level of this building is a 1950s-style diner. It has a curved front window, red bar stools, a classic bubbler-style jukebox, soda fountain-equipped counter, and an open-plan kitchen.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The middle level has a gym with boxing ring, punching bag, and weight training room. The upper level houses a recording studio, complete with vocal booth, mixing desk, and a cabinet for refreshments.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The façade of the building features pink-and-teal 20th century Art Deco styling with a large pink "DINER" sign. Though Streamline Moderne style architecture first emerged in the 1930s, this modular has a more 1950s-style color treatment than the general era of previous Modulars (~1930s). Other external features include arched linteled windows, balconies, a wrought iron-style exterior staircase, and a detailed sidewalk complete with mailbox, parking meter, flower pots, and the iconic white streetlamp of the Modular collection. It is the third Modular set to include a vehicle: a 1950s-style convertible automobile recalling an homage to Elvis Presley's pink Cadillac. One of the minifigures also features an Elvis-style of pompadour hairstyle.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: For the first time since 2007's Market Street, the included six minifigures have individual, varied faces rather than the classic Lego smiley faces used in the previous sets. Subsequent Modular Buildings continued to use these stylized faces. The set measures over 13" (34 cm) high, 9" (25 cm) wide and 9" (25 cm) deep.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Corner Garage (set number: 10264) is the fourteenth modular building and fifth corner building, released in January 2019. It has 2569 pieces. The building resembles that of a 1950s-style American building, much like the Downtown Diner. The ground level has a gas station with fuel pump, kiosk and a vehicle workshop with a roll-up door, vehicle lift, and tire mounter. The mid-level has a veterinarian's office owned by a character named "Dr. Jones" with an examination table, fish tank, and a waiting area with sofa. The upper level has an apartment with kitchen, TV, sofa, bed, and a staircase that leads to a rooftop terrace with sun lounger, parasol, and flower garden. The set also includes a scooter, tow truck, and six minifigures, as well as bunny, parrot, dog, frog and fish pieces. Instead of the usual blocky-structure corner buildings offer, the set produces a 45-degree angle cut at the front. The set measures over 12 inches (32 cm) high, 10 inches (26 cm) wide, and 9 inches (25 cm) deep.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Bookshop (set number: 10270) is the fifteenth set in the Modular Building line, released in January 2020. The set comes with 2,504 pieces. The set consist of two separate buildings akin to the Pet Shop, making it the second set in the series that is actually two buildings that separate. The model features the "Birch Books" bookstore and an accompanying townhouse. The set is a return to more classical and European architecture from the last two more modern-American modular designs, Downtown Diner and Corner Garage. An autumn setting is portrayed throughout the set through the use of warm-colored leaves and the attire of the minifigures. The Bookshop was created by Lego designer Wes Talbott, who said the model was inspired by the houses of Amsterdam and the dollhouses that were built by his mother. The set measures over 11 inches (29 cm) high, 9 inches (25 cm) wide, and 9 inches (25 cm) deep.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The Bookshop's ground floor features a birch tree with several new colors of foliage elements, as well as a display window and store in medium nougat and light grey colors. The first floor features decorative white windows, a reading room with a grandfather clock, lamp, and a sitting chair. The top floor of the bookshop has a dark red roof with light grey architectural details. The townhouse is built above a crawl-space basement with a staircase, garden, and lamp post. The first floor is teal with white accents and features a bay window, dining table, and living area, while the roof has a complex build involving a varied roof-line, dark blue tiling, and dark grey top. The back part of the roof of each building breaks away to reveal two small bedrooms. The Bookshop comes with five minifigures and several mini-builds featuring a bookshelf with a printed "Moby Brick" book cover, four-poster bed, lamp, grandfather clock, and toy plane, as well as a bluebird and chameleon element in new colors. The five minifigures include a shopkeeper with glasses, an older man with grey hair, a young boy in a flannel jacket and lime green scarf, a woman with a purple top, and a man with suspenders and a tie.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: On 27 November 2020, the 2021 modular building was revealed as being a large three-story police station with a donut shop and newspaper stand on the sides. Police Station (set number: 10278) is the sixteenth set in the Modular Building line and was released on 1 January 2021. The set has 2,923 pieces and 5 minifigures, including 2 1950s era male police officers and 1 female police captain, female donut shop employee, and a male newsstand operator/the donut thief. It measures over 14.5 inches (37 cm) high (including antennae), 10 inches (25 cm) wide, and 10 inches (25 cm) deep.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The side of the building features a large poster for "Soap Suds", a reference to the laundromat featured in the Brick Bank set. On either side of the station are a donut shop and a newspaper kiosk. The station consists of an evidence locker, jail cell, interrogation room, detective's office, mugshots room, and a bathroom. In the rear of the Police Station, there is also a reference to the American sitcom, Brooklyn Nine-Nine Above the donut shop is an apartment with a kitchenette, record player, rug, and a bed. The set contains hidden features such as a bed that is hinged to reveal an opening in the floor providing access to the donut shop below and the floor in the jail cell can be lifted to reveal a spoon and a tunnel leading to the rear of the building with a crack on the exterior.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the modular building series is the Boutique Hotel. Released on January 1, 2022 the Boutique Hotel (set number: 10297) is a three-story corner building that encompasses a hotel and an art gallery. The set has 3066 pieces and seven minifgures, including two hotel staff, a woman, a businessman, a backpacker, a coffee cart worker and a staff member from the art gallery next door to the hotel. The modular measures over 13 in. (33 cm) high, 10 in. (25 cm) wide and 10 in. (25 cm) deep.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The gallery next to the hotel includes several pieces of art while the main building encompasses a lobby/reception with a check-in desk, vase with flowers and large sofa. The second floor encompasses two guest rooms while the third floor room includes a larger space and detailed bathroom. A patio is accessed via stairs between the hotel and the art gallery and is topped with a potted palm tree, seating and a small serving bar. The building is topped with a curved skylight and brick build accessories include a luggage cart and a coffee stand.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: Lego Designer Jamie Berard created many Modulars Buildings and decided to make a mini version of his set for fun. Five of these were then released as a single set 10230 containing 1,356 pieces, each one on an 8x8 baseplate, making them quarter-scale with respect to the original buildings. Initially, this set was for Lego Group VIPs only, but it later became available for general sale.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: In October 2014, four sets similar to the Mini Modulars were released as Toys "R" Us exclusives. They are 40180 (Bricktober Theater), 40181 (Bricktober Pizza Place), 40182 (Bricktober Fire Station) and 40183 (Bricktober Town Hall). Despite the similarity of names, they are not mini versions of existing modular buildings; they are new designs. They are simpler builds than the original Mini Modulars, based on 6x8 plates, and each one includes two vehicles; the target age is given as 7 and up.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: In October 2015, four new sets were released for Toys "R" Us Bricktober. They are 40141 – Bricktober Hotel (204 pcs), 40142 – Bricktober Train Station (180 pcs), 40143 -Bricktober Bakery (234 pcs), 40144 – Bricktober Toys "R" Us store (165 pcs). This time the base is 8x8 and 8x10. As last time they each include two vehicles.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: A challenge faced by the designers of the earlier sets is that they were not able to work with the full palette of Lego bricks and colors ever produced when designing. Instead, they were limited to the bricks and colors currently in production by Lego at the time of the product design. As an example, for Café Corner, the designer wanted to include a bicycle piece in the set, but at the time, the machine that made bicycle pieces was broken. It had to be fixed for the designer to be able to include the piece in his design. With Market Street, the fan designer was limited to only the bricks and color combinations available as 'active components,' meaning bricks that were already in production. No new bricks could be introduced. This requirement has since been removed. The designers of the Downtown Diner were able to reintroduce a retired color, Bright Bluish Green, and Police Station was able to introduce a new mold, the 1x3 inverted arch brick.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: There have been scheduling challenges faced in the design of the Modular Houses sets. For the Green Grocer set, the designer believed that the set could have benefited from another design iteration before release. The detailed nature of these sets requires a greater amount of design time than a normal Lego set. It is expected that future sets in the series will not suffer from such schedule pressures.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: During the design of Café Corner (and presumably with the other sets in the series), the designer had to work closely with the building instructions team due to some of the "unorthodox techniques" that he used "which have not been tried before in official Lego sets."


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The reason interiors were not included in the first two models in the series, Café Corner and Market Street, was because they could not be seen in the pictures included on the packaging. Once the success of Modular Buildings sets had been proven with these first two sets, for the third set, Green Grocer, the designer was allowed to include interior details in each of the floors. As a result, many of the interior details of later sets, such as Green Grocer, are not visible on the box and are only discovered while building the set. However, the boxes of each set feature some of the interior details such as the escalators inside Grand Emporium and pool table inside Detective's Office.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: The Modular Buildings series is viewed by Lego designers and fan sites as "toys for adults". Product reviews have been very positive with the biggest criticisms being price and degree of difficulty. With Café Corner, one reviewer complained that the interior of the building was bare of any finishing. This complaint was addressed in later models such as Green Grocer, which had finished interior details included in each of its three floors.


title: Lego Modular Buildings

text: When the first set in the series, Café Corner, was released, the designer indicated that more sets would follow in the series only if sales of the first set were successful. In a later interview in 2008 covering the third set in the series, Green Grocer, the designer indicated that sales had been strong enough to support four sets in the series (referring to the planned 2009 release of Fire Brigade as the fourth set).


title: Lipstick Under My Burkha

The small town setting enables the four characters to be part of each others’ lives and eventually come together." Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3.5/5 stars and said, "What makes the film it is, is the upfront, frank manner in which female desire and fantasy are treated, running like a strong, vital thread through the film. Dreams can keep you alive, and age is just a number." Tushar P Joshi of BollywoodLife.com gave 3.5/5 stars and said, ""Lipstick Under My Burkha" will hopefully bring to light some issues that need attention and start a discussion or a conversation between women who are struggling for the most basic right in life – one to be happy." Rohit Bhatnagar of The Asian Age gave 3.5/5 stars and said, "The film touches upon serious issues but with a humorous flair. This tale of women's equality and liberation is a mirror of real India."

A member of the Allman Brothers Band throughout their commercial zenith in the 1970s, he subsequently became a founding member of the band Sea Level. He has served as the principal touring keyboardist and musical director of The Rolling Stones since 1982. As a session musician, Leavell has performed on every Rolling Stones studio album released since 1983 with the exception of "Bridges to Babylon" (1997). He has also toured and recorded with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, David Gilmour, Gov't Mule and John Mayer.


title: Chuck Leavell

text: Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Leavell is a mostly self-taught musician. He started on piano, learning some basics from his mother, Frances Leavell. The Leavell family moved from Birmingham to Montgomery, Alabama when he was five, then back to Birmingham for a few years, finally settling in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1962. He learned to play guitar from his cousin, Winston Leavell, and played tuba in junior high for two years. He started his first band, The Misfitz, in 1966. The Misfitz played a steady gig at the YMCA every Friday night, and eventually were the band for a Saturday morning television show, Tuscaloosa Bandstand. After the breakup of the Misfitz, Leavell did session work, and found himself on his first gold record, a single by Freddie North called "Don't Take Her She's All I've Got". Leavell also sought out other local musicians to play with and joined The South Camp in 1968. That band included his early mentor, Paul Hornsby, who had played in The Hour Glass, a precursor to The Allman Brothers Band.


title: Chuck Leavell

text: In 1969, Hornsby moved to Macon, Georgia to work for Capricorn Records as a studio musician and producer, eventually producing such artists as The Charlie Daniels Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie and others. At Hornsby's suggestion, Leavell came to Macon and helped form Sundown, which recorded one record on the Ampex label in 1970. That band broke up shortly thereafter, and Leavell found himself doing session work at Capricorn and eventually was tapped to tour with Alex Taylor, James Taylor's elder brother. Leavell recorded one record with Taylor, "Dinnertime", which was released in 1972. Leavell continued to tour with Taylor for a short time afterwards. When Taylor had a falling out with his manager and the founder of Capricorn, Phil Walden, and quit touring, Leavell found himself playing with Dr. John. Leavell claims this was his "college education."


title: Chuck Leavell

text: While playing with Dr. John, Leavell caught the attention of Gregg Allman, who tapped him to play on his first solo album, the Johnny Sandlin-produced "Laid Back". Allman and Sandlin introduced the rest of the Allman Brothers Band to Leavell, and Leavell joined the band in September 1972, when they decided not to recreate their dual lead guitar sound after the death of Duane Allman, who had died the previous October, but rather to use a different instrument as the second lead. Leavell's work was most prominent on the band's popular 1973 album "Brothers and Sisters", and in particular on the heavily played instrumental "Jessica." However, only one studio album, 1975's "Win, Lose or Draw," followed, again with Leavell's piano and keyboard work featured.

During the mid-1970s Leavell also appeared on Dickey Betts's first solo record, "Highway Call". In addition during this time, he made multiple contributions on several other Capricorn artists' recordings like Bobby Whitlock, Bonnie Bramlett, The Marshall Tucker Band, Cowboy and more as well as recordings outside the Capricorn family with Tim Weisberg, Charlie Daniels and others. The Allmans found themselves in turmoil in 1976, and broke up that year. Later the band re-formed, but without Leavell as he had moved on to form his own band, Sea Level in late 1976.


title: Chuck Leavell

text: While opening shows for The Allman Brothers Band with The Allman Brothers' bass guitarist Lamar Williams and drummer Jaimoe, Leavell stepped up as a frontman for the first time in his career. After The Allman Brothers Band disbanded in May 1976, the trio added guitarist Jimmy Nalls and set about touring behind the moniker Sea Level, derived from Leavell's first initial and last name. The group lasted five years and released as many albums, each featuring a different configuration of the group.


title: Chuck Leavell

text: From 1982 to 1984, he was part of the group Betts, Hall, Leavell and Trucks, which had been organized by Betts. Although the group received good critical notices, and is viewed positively in retrospect by Leavell, it was unable to garner a recording contract.

For the 1982 European Tour Leavell landed the position of keyboardist alongside Ian Stewart. Leavell continued to record with the Stones on their next two albums, during a time when the band was not touring. After Stewart's death in 1985, Leavell occupied the role of the group's keyboardist by himself, with the exception of the addition of Matt Clifford on the "Steel Wheels" record and tour. He has continued to tour and record with The Rolling Stones ever since, as well as recording with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on solo projects. The Stones' most recent studio recording was in 2012, "Doom and Gloom". He continued to go on tour with The Rolling Stones, as of 2006, as part of their record-grossing A Bigger Bang Tour. He served as the unofficial "musical director" for the band and devised each night's set list with Mick Jagger. "It's my job to keep Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie all happy", Leavell stated on his web page. He began keeping notes on the songs during rehearsals, which eventually led to his role with the band.
