| Entrepreneurship

WASHINGTON (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron is headed to Washington for the first state visit of Joe Biden’s presidency — a revival of diplomatic pageantry that had been put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Biden-Macron relationship had a choppy start. Macron briefly recalled France’s ambassador to the United States last year after the White House announced a deal to sell nuclear submarines to Australia, undermining a contract for France to sell diesel-powered submarines. But the…

(The plan, rejected by the Arabs, was never implemented.) On this date: In 1864, a…

Lessons in innovation based on values of...

November 29, 2022

Traditional Cherokee community values can broadly be condensed into four primary teachings that have guided members of the community through life and its challenges for centuries, two members of the Cherokee nation told an MIT audience last week. Be respectful and curious; observe and learn from your environment; take time to think about and find answers; and commit to the answer and guide others to the right or “true path.” For MIT Senior Lecturer and Cherokee citizen David Robertson,……

MIT Policy Hackathon produces new solutions for...

November 28, 2022

Almost three years ago, the Covid-19 pandemic changed the world. Many are still looking to uncover a “new normal.” “Instead of going back to normal, wants to build back something different, something better,” says Jorge Sandoval, a second-year graduate student in MIT’s Technology and Policy Program (TPP) at the Institute for Data, Systems and Society (IDSS). “How do we communicate this mindset to others, that the world cannot be the same as before?” This……

Reversing the charge

November 28, 2022

Owners of electric vehicles (EVs) are accustomed to plugging into charging stations at home and at work and filling up their batteries with electricity from the power grid. But someday soon, when these drivers plug in, their cars will also have the capacity to reverse the flow and send electrons back to the grid. As the number of EVs climbs, the fleet’s batteries could serve as a cost-effective, large-scale energy source, with potentially dramatic impacts on the energy transition,……

| Entrepreneurship

WASHINGTON (AP) — “We the People” is Jill Biden’s holiday theme with White House decorations designed for “the people” to see themselves in the tree ornaments, mantel displays, mirrors and do-it-yourself creations that have turned the mansion’s public spaces into a winter wonderland. “The soul of our nation is, and always has been, ‘We the People,’” the first lady says in remarks prepared for a Monday afternoon event and released by the White House. “And that is what inspired…

November 28, 2022

Nestled amongst the pine needles of the forest floor of Portugal’s Barão de São João National Forest are numerous stone faces carved in-situ to smile up at passing hikers. Created in 2012 by local artist and teacher Deodato Inácio Santos, the faces are part of the larger “Walk of Poets” which includes other carvings and lines of poetry that enhance a trail through the preserve. In the summer of that year, Santos organized an explosion of art that turned……

New device can control light at unprecedented...

November 28, 2022

In a scene from “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope,” R2D2 projects a three-dimensional hologram of Princess Leia making a desperate plea for help. That scene, filmed more than 45 years ago, involved a bit of movie magic — even today, we don’t have the technology to create such realistic and dynamic holograms. Generating a freestanding 3D hologram would require extremely precise and fast control of light beyond the capabilities of existing technologies, which are based on……

Kahl-Bürg in Le Tréport, France

November 28, 2022

The Germans built the Kahl-Bürg after Operation Jubilee, the unsuccessful raid on the shores of Dieppe which saw the loss of hundreds of Allied (largely Canadian) soldiers in 1942. Using prisoners of war, many of whom were Ukrainian women, they dug deep into the impressive chalk cliffs of Le Tréport to create an expansive bunker, or an “underground castle” over a period of two years. It consists of 32 rooms on four floors and has five openings to the sea……

The Church of St. Luzi is part of a larger complex that includes the St. Luzi Seminary and the Chur Theological College. The precise date on which the original church was built is unknown, but it is known that it was commissioned by Luzius von Chur (St. Lucius of Chur). Although information regarding the saint is a blur of historical and apocryphal facts, it can safely be stated that the church was built around the 8th century. Major renovations……
