For Irina Contreras, a program manager for Los Angeles County’s Department of Arts and Culture, outdoor education was a refuge for both her and her daughter during the pandemic. Now, much of that refuge has been burned in the raging wildfires around Los Angeles. Her 7-year-old daughter, Ceiba, hikes with a kid’s adventure group called Hawks and attended Matilija, a bilingual forest school for preschool and kindergarten. Rain or shine, she and her friends would spend their days climbing,…

It was a week of fire and ice. It began with millions of people across the U.S. shivering amid blizzard conditions and frigid air that lasted for days, thanks to a jet stream that slips out of its usual path more often these days. Then, catastrophe in California, with wind-whipped flames taking off in a landscape parched by months of drought to become Los Angeles’ worst-ever wildfires. To cap it off, major weather monitoring agencies confirmed 2024 as the…

NEW YORK (AP) — Democrats are harboring strong feelings of stress and gloom as the new year begins. And many are questioning whether their party’s commitment to diverse candidates — especially women — may lead to further political struggles in the Donald Trump era. A recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that a significant number of Democrats believe that it may be decades before the United States will get its first female president….

National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in...

January 10, 2025

Even before World War II, proposals had been made to build a military cemetery in Hawaii, but the need for such a cemetery became more pressing after the devastating loss of life during the war. An extinct volcanic crater located inland from downtown Honolulu was chosen as the site for the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. The crater’s original name was Puowaina, but had picked up the nickname ‘Punchbowl’ since the arrival of missionaries in the islands. Construction on……

January 10, 2025

On the first day of your vacation in a new city, your explorations expose you to innumerable individual places. While the memories of these spots (like a beautiful garden on a quiet side street) feel immediately indelible, it might be days before you have enough intuition about the neighborhood to direct a newer tourist to that same site and then maybe to the café you discovered nearby. A new study of mice by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Insitute……

Subic Bay Jet Monument in Olongapo, Philippines

January 10, 2025

In late 1978, aboard the the USS Enterprise, an American fighter plane—RA-5C Vigilante, BuNo 156627, modex NK610, RVAH-1 “Smokin’ Tigers,”—lost its brakes and nose-wheel steering. Fortunately, it was saved even after catching fire. It remained in use until it was phased out and struck off the list on March 26, 1979, and was left at Cubi Point, overlooking the Subic Bay. It became a fixture at the park—and a popular piece for vandals and psychedelic art works. When the……

January 10, 2025

In the still life gallery at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England sits an unassuming painting of a duck, an oil-on-work work by Dutch artist Aelbert Cuyp (1620–1691). It is the portrait of Sijctghen the Duck, one of the most beloved animals of the 17th century. Sijctghen laid more than a hundred eggs each year and was much treasured by her owners. They loved her so much that, in 1647, when she was 20 years old, they commissioned Cuyp……

Q&A: Examining American attitudes on global climate...

January 10, 2025

Does the United States have a “moral responsibility” for providing aid to poor nations — which have a significantly smaller carbon footprint and face catastrophic climate events at a much higher rate than wealthy countries? A study published Dec. 11 in Climatic Change explores U.S. public opinion on global climate policies considering our nation’s historic role as a leading contributor of carbon emissions. The randomized, experimental survey specifically investigates American attitudes toward such a moral responsibility. The work was led……

Quail Creek Airmail Arrow in Hurricane, Utah

January 10, 2025

Carrying mail was the first commercial application of air travel, and in the early 1920s the federal government established a network of beacons for airmail navigation.

They also included a brilliant light on a steel tower about 50 feet high so that planes could follow a course from light to light after dark. Otherwise, in the absence……

January 10, 2025

Located in the scenic Sandusky Bay, with a view of Cedar Point on the horizon, the Confederate Stockade Cemetery on Johnson’s Island is a fascinating historical stop along the Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail. In 1861, the United States government leased the island for $500 a year to build a POW camp for housing Confederate soldiers. This island was considered ideal due to its proximity to the Sandusky rail lines and sheltered from the elements nestled in Sandusky Bay. And compared……
