Kornhauskeller Restaurant in Bern, Switzerland

January 15, 2025

Ask locals in Bern where to go for a memorable meal and they’re likely to direct you to “Chübu,” a former granary first erected in the 1800s. With its high vaulted ceilings and high Baroque architectural touches, its hard to imagine that this grand sandstone edifice was once used for food storage. Chandeliers, dark wood, and intricately painted walls make it feel a bit like dining at a fancy restaurant in Middle Earth. Today, the palatial, partially subterranean space in……

Koz’s Mini Bowl in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

January 15, 2025

One of Milwaukee’s best-regarded dive bars, Koz’s Mini Bowl is famous for a sport that barely extends outside of its walls: miniature duckpin bowling. For almost a century, Koz’s has been the home of what is now the last original mini duckpin bowling alley in the United States. Readers should note that Wisconsin’s “duckpin bowling” is a different sport than the similar variety found in other regions. Although the two games use 10-inch pins and 3-pound balls, standard duckpin……

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass added her own call for action. “We’re going to recover, and we’re going to rebuild and we’re going to rebuild better.” The challenge facing the city is huge.

Hitler's Bunker in Bruly-de-Pesche in Couvin, Belgium

January 15, 2025

A moss-covered, square-cement building blends into the woodlands landscape outside the village of Brûly-de-Pesche in the South of the Province of Namur. The unsuspecting building was once the bunker accompanying Hitler‘s temporary headquarters for three weeks in June, 1940, prior to his invasion of France. Only a few kilometers from France, the site is discreet but ideally located. From there, Hitler orchestrated the battle of France from June 6 and on. Known by the code name Wolfsschlucht, meaning Wolf’s……

Londres 38 in Santiago, Chile

January 15, 2025

Paris y Londres is a quaint neighborhood in Santiago featuring beautiful old buildings, cobblestone streets, and one of the oldest churches in Chile. But tucked along the unsuspecting historical streets is a building with a dark past. While the building was once the headquarters of the Socialist Party of Chile, from 1973 to 1975 it was the site of the National Intelligence Directorate’s detention center under the Pinochet regime, a dictatorship that ruled over Chile for 17 years, ending……

How one brain circuit encodes memories of...

January 15, 2025

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain’s hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, known as episodic memories. While the mechanism of how place cells encode spatial memory has been well-characterized, it has remained a puzzle how they encode episodic memories. A new model developed by MIT researchers explains how those place cells can be recruited to form episodic memories, even when there’s no……

A longtime D.C. developer and a local restaurant industry veteran have brought their shared love of public golf courses to 14th Street’s newest bar and club — and you can “play” some of the country’s best courses while you snack and drink.

The six-story building, at the corner of 14th and Rhode Island Avenue,…

By now, you may be familiar with biophilic design — it’s the idea of integrating nature into design to enhance our connection to the environment. Sustainability, wellness and harmony are usually part of the deal. Some architects and home designers are using one particular biophilic element to striking effect: trees. We’ve already seen public spaces around the globe incorporate trees in remarkable and beautiful ways. The Ford Foundation in New York boasts a 12-story-high atrium filled with magnolias, eucalyptus,…

LONDON (AP) — Papal thriller “ Conclave,” which stars Ralph Fiennes as a cardinal overseeing the election of a new pope, leads the race — just — for the British Academy Film Awards, with nominations in 12 categories, one more than the genre-busting trans musical ” Emilia Perez.” But with the wildfires in Los Angeles over the past week fresh in the minds of everyone in the movie industry, Wednesday’s announcement of the latest BAFTA nominations was understandably restrained….

Flush with her $1.25 winnings at the bingo tables, Sharon Tanner retired to a room off the dining hall to discuss the top worry for the residents council at her senior living community: what to do about people leaving their laundry in the washing machines and dryers. Dinner service at the Terraces at Park Marino in Pasadena, California, was about half over, and residents were gathering in the lobby for the night’s movie feature: “Scent of a Woman.” Tanner…

January 14, 2025

Back in the old days — the really old days — the task of designing materials was laborious. Investigators, over the course of 1,000-plus years, tried to make gold by combining things like lead, mercury, and sulfur, mixed in what they hoped would be just the right proportions. Even famous scientists like Tycho Brahe, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton tried their hands at the fruitless endeavor we call alchemy. Materials science has, of course, come a long way. For……

For healthy hearing, timing matters

January 14, 2025

When sound waves reach the inner ear, neurons there pick up the vibrations and alert the brain. Encoded in their signals is a wealth of information that enables us to follow conversations, recognize familiar voices, appreciate music, and quickly locate a ringing phone or crying baby. Neurons send signals by emitting spikes — brief changes in voltage that propagate along nerve fibers, also known as action potentials. Remarkably, auditory neurons can fire hundreds of spikes per second, and time……

WASHINGTON (AP) — The last time Joe Biden packed up and left office, he took with him thousands of papers from his decades in public service — including some classified documents that should have gone to the National Archives for safekeeping. That move spawned a federal investigation into whether Biden had knowingly broken the law and a damaging Justice Department report that referred to Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” igniting public concerns over his mental…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, vowed Tuesday to foster a “warrior culture” at the Pentagon, portraying himself as a “change agent” during a testy Senate confirmation hearing that drew an outburst of protest but also veterans supporting the pick. Hegesth drew on his combat experience in the Army National Guard and did not initially address the allegations of sexual assault and excessive drinking against him as senators determine whether the veteran and…
