ROME (AP) — New rules on wearing masks in England came into effect Friday, with people entering shops, banks and supermarkets now required to wear face coverings, while Romania reported a record for daily infections and new cases nearly doubled in France.

| Entrepreneurship

WASHINGTON — White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx says recent surges in cases in the southern U.S. could make their way north. Birx told NBC’s “Today” show: “We have to change our behavior now before this virus completely moves back up through the north.” The densely packed New York metropolitan area had been the hardest-hit section of the country, but the daily number of cases and deaths declined after a strict lockdown. The number of cases has…

Carrickfergus Rangers Stone in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland

July 24, 2020

During World War II, the historic County Antrim town of Carrickfergus became a focal point when the United States decided to enter the war. Basecamps were established across Northern Ireland. Over 300,000 American troops were posted in Northern Ireland in areas such as Ballycastle, Ballymena, and Carrickfergus. In Carrickfergus, a Ranger Battalion was based in the Sunnylands area, just north of the railway line and covered an area of four hectares. The Ranger battalions were considered elite units of……

HaliPuu’s Campfire Barista in Sirkka, Finland

July 24, 2020

Steffan Wunderink runs a truly one-of-a-kind cafe, if you can call it that. The “Campfire Barista” makes cafe-quality coffees, teas, and more over an open fire that he drags behind a snowmobile through a forest in the far northern reaches of Finland. It’s not just any forest, though. The forest belongs to his wife’s grandfather, Kaarle Raekallio. The Finnish state gave his family the forest after they lost their home during World War II. After spending decades raising the……

Commentary: America must invest in its ability...

July 24, 2020

In July of 1945, in an America just beginning to establish a postwar identity, former MIT vice president Vannevar Bush set forth a vision that guided the country to decades of scientific dominance and economic prosperity. Bush’s report to the president of the United States, “Science: The Endless Frontier,” called on the government to support basic research in university labs. Its ideas, including the creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF), are credited with helping to make U.S. scientific……

Temple of Minerva Medica in Rome, Italy

July 24, 2020

Constructed during the age of Imperial Rome, the Temple of Minerva Medica once stood on the Esquiline Hill in Rome. It was mentioned by Cicero and several other sources but eventually became lost at some point. However, the Temple of Minerva Medica is still on the Roman map. Except it’s not really the Temple of Minerva Medica—but a ruined 4th-century nymphaeum building, consecrated to the mythical nymphs and connected to the water supply. No ancient literature or inscriptions mention……

Movie theaters implore studios: Release the blockbusters

July 24, 2020

| Entrepreneurship

NEW YORK (AP) — A long time ago in a pre-COVID universe far, far away, blockbusters opened around the globe simultaneously or nearly so. In 1975, “Jaws” set the blueprint. Concentrate marketing. Open wide. Pack them in. Since then, Hollywood has turned opening weekends into an all-out assault. Staggered rollouts still happen, of course, but the biggest films are dropped like carpet bombs. Anything less risks losing the attention of moviegoers. Global debuts north of $300 million became commonplace….

How a Viral Tweet Brought Back a...

July 23, 2020

On September 28, 1883, a series of simple advertisements appeared in the Calgary Herald, placed between short paragraphs about tinsmiths, loggers, and hunters in the area. They were concise, staccato statements, mesmerizing in their rhythmic placement amidst the news of the day. Cronk is the drink. Dr. Cronk. Try Cronk. Cronk is good. And simply, Cronk. The ads promoted a sweet, mildly alcoholic soda that once captured North America’s attention, much like Coca-Cola would do in the next century…….

July 23, 2020

On a cold and wet day in March 2018, a van crammed with equipment and Scottish and Irish archaeologists rolled up alongside Navan Fort, a prominent hilltop settlement in Northern Ireland that’s not far from the modern border with Ireland. A ringed enclosure that sits on a tall hill in the countryside, Navan Fort is easy to pick out. It was one of the ceremonial centers of pre-Gaelic Ireland, and even has a visitor’s center today. But that March,……

Integrated lightwave electronics

July 23, 2020

Light waves oscillate far faster than most sensors can respond. A solar cell, or the infrared photodetector used to receive the signal from the remote in your DVR, can only sense the total energy delivered by the light — it can’t pick up the subtle details of the rapidly oscillating electric field the light consists of. Essentially all commercial light sensors suffer from this same problem: They act like a microphone that can tell that a crowd of people……
