Grave of Sylvia Plath in Heptonstall, England

August 10, 2025

Sylvia Plath, remembered for her confessional poetry and her novel The Bell Jar, was not buried in her native America. Rather, her grave is in a small Yorkshire village in which she never lived. The reason for this is that her estranged husband, fellow poet Ted Hughes, buried her near his hometown of Mytholmroyd. The epitaph he chose, “Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted,” can be seen as a metaphor for Plath’s depression and possible……

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Frederick Richard is taking the fight to make men’s gymnastics matter to a new front: his wardrobe. The charismatic 21-year-old Olympic bronze medalist switched out the stirrup pants that have long been a staple of the men’s uniform for shorts with compression leggings at the U.S. Championships this weekend, firm in his belief that the three-tenths (0.3) deduction he receives every day of competition that he breaks the rules is worth it if it makes…

August 10, 2025

The complex relationship between Catholicism and the indigenous peoples of the Americas, in Mexico in particular, is well-represented in the city of San Cristóbal de las Casas. Originally established under the name Villa Real de Chiapa in 1528, it was renamed San Cristóbal in 1829, in honor of its patron saint, Saint Christopher. The city surname “De Las Casas” would be added 19 years later as a tribute to Bartolomé de las Casas, a Spanish friar who arrived to……

Vall del Madriu-Perafita-Claror in Les Escaldes, Andorra

August 10, 2025

Nestled deep in the eastern Pyrenees mountains lies the Vall del Madriu-Perafita-Claror, a glacial valley renowned for its history and grandeur. At only 42.47 square kilometers (about 16 square miles), it is not very large, but still occupies nearly 10 percent of the tiny country of Andorra. Vall del Madriu-Perafita-Claror is considered to be the spiritual heart of Andorra, a place where natural beauty and cultural heritage come together. Below the craggy ridge of the mountains, the valley holds……

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Travis Hunter’s professional debut included 10 snaps on offense, eight on defense and no highlights. The Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick in the NFL draft was relatively quiet in Jacksonville’s 31-25 loss to Pittsburgh in a preseason game Saturday. He caught two passes for 9 yards, with a long gain of 6, and missed an open-field tackle. “I felt great,” he said. “A little nervous, but it felt great. It definitely settled down…

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Asher Hong posted an all-around total of 85.585 during the opening night of the U.S. Championships on Thursday, putting the Olympian in strong position to collect his second national title.

3 Questions: Measuring the financial impact of...

August 7, 2025

The various aspects of design — such as creation, function, and aesthetic — can be applied to many different disciplines and provide them with a value. While this is universally true for architecture, it has not traditionally been acknowledged for real estate, despite the close association between the two. Traditionally, real estate valuation has been determined by certain sales factors: income generated, recent similar sales, and replacement costs. Now, a new book by researchers at MIT explores how design can……

I think it’s from like 1996. The story in the game was so good…….

Eco-driving measures could significantly reduce vehicle emissions

August 7, 2025

Any motorist who has ever waited through multiple cycles for a traffic light to turn green knows how annoying signalized intersections can be. But sitting at intersections isn’t just a drag on drivers’ patience — unproductive vehicle idling could contribute as much as 15 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. land transportation. A large-scale modeling study led by MIT researchers reveals that eco-driving measures, which can involve dynamically adjusting vehicle speeds to reduce stopping and excessive acceleration,……
