MOSCOW (AP) — Some airlines have canceled or diverted flights to Ukraine amid warnings from the West that an invasion by Russia is imminent despite intensive weekend talks between Moscow and Washington. In an hourlong call Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Joe Biden said an invasion of Ukraine would cause “widespread human suffering” and that the West was committed to diplomacy to end the crisis but “equally prepared for other scenarios,” the White House said. It offered…

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Among the stars, Drake still shined the brightest. In an all-white outfit, the multi-Grammy winner had many concertgoers jostling for position to watch him perform at the Super Bowl-week party dubbed “Homecoming Weekend” on Saturday night. He made a dramatic entrance, darting down an aisle before performing center stage under an airy tent at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California. The crowd included several entertainers and athletes such as Issa Rae, a…

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The U.S. says it will open an embassy in the Solomon Islands, laying out in unusually blunt terms a plan to increase its influence in the South Pacific nation before China becomes “strongly embedded.” The reasoning was explained in a State Department notification to Congress that was obtained by The Associated Press. It came as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed in Fiji on Saturday midway through a Pacific tour that began in…

Student-led MIT course provides an inside look...

February 11, 2022

Jeana Choi and Lisa Yoo had already bonded over their appreciation for Korean music when they decided to organize a K-pop course at MIT during the Institute’s Independent Activities Period (IAP) this January. Both graduating fifth-year master’s students in electrical engineering and computer science, Choi and Yoo became friends in class 21M.294 (Popular Musics of the World), where they collaborated on a podcast-style interview with a producer of Korean R&B. Choi, who had previously run an IAP course about……

February 11, 2022

“Price discounting is one of my pet peeves,” says Sharmila Chatterjee. No, the academic head for the Enterprise Management (EM) Track of MIT Sloan School of Management’s MBA program doesn’t have it out for customers looking for a deal. Rather, this is a stitch in a running thread of conversation about bigger-picture thinking honed from years of research. Chatterjee is a business-to-business (B2B) marketing expert and an award-winning case writer who examines issues in the domains of channels of……

Genbikei Gorge in Ichinoseki, Japan

February 11, 2022

In northern Japan, a two-mile ravine runs through the city of Ichinoseki. The powerful Iwai river cuts through ancient dacite tuff, laid down by the eruptions of Mount Kurikoma. This is Genbikei Gorge (literally, “severe beauty valley”). Millions of years of erosion has sculpted the stone into a variety of interesting shapes. It has been known as a scenic spot since the Edo period, and in 1877 even earned a visit from Emperor Meiji himself. One reason people love……

The Blue Cottage in Centreville, Nova Scotia

February 11, 2022

The cottages at Huntington’s Point were constructed as make-work projects between 1934 and 1938. They were built without plans as experiments in form and material — more large-scale sculptural works of art than architecture. Of the five original cottages, one has been completely destroyed, two have been heavily renovated and altered, and just two remain in their original condition. The cottage was constructed in 1937 and was used as a hostel for visitors to the Point. Harold Whitman purchased……

Cerro Pedernal in Cañones, New Mexico

February 11, 2022

In northern New Mexico, a flat-topped butte rises high above the desert, its distinctive shape offering a landmark that anchors the geography and communities around it. This is Cerro Pedernal, a mesa that rises 9,862 feet above sea level and dominates the local skyline. Pedernal means flint in Spanish, and was so named for the rock that is strewn about its lower slopes. The native Gallina Puebloans made much use of the plentiful resource, turning it into arrowheads, knives,……

Why cage-free eggs becoming norm: It’s what...

February 11, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Without much fuss and even less public attention, the nation’s egg producers are in the midst of a multibillion-dollar shift to cage-free eggs that is dramatically changing the lives of millions of hens in response to new laws and demands from restaurant chains. In a decade, the percentage of hens in cage-free housing has soared from 4% in 2010 to 28% in 2020, and that figure is expected to more than double to about…

Espigueros of Lindoso in Lindoso, Portugal

February 11, 2022

Espigueros of Lindoso are elongated granaries made of stone and used for storing corn. Of the approximately 50 espigueros, the oldest date back to the 17th century. The clear-cut corners and lack of lichen from some suggest they are quite recent, and some others are made of older and newer elements, pointing at upkeep work. Each espiguero belongs to a family, and some of them are still in use today. The bed of the espiguero is made of stone……

Super Bowl ads look toward the future...

February 11, 2022

| Entrepreneurship

NEW YORK (AP) — Super Bowl advertisers this year want Americans to forget about pandemic woes and focus on the future: of electric vehicles, mind reading Alexas, robots and cryptocurrency — and also to harken back to the nostalgic past of ’90s movies like “Austin Powers” and “The Cable Guy.” The Los Angeles Rams are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals during Super Bowl 56 on Sunday at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. But for many, the big show…

Scaliger Tombs in Verona, Italy

February 11, 2022

During the late Middle Ages, the Della Scala family, whose members are known as the Scaligeri, ruled not only the city of Verona, but much of its Veneto region and other territories in Northern Italy. Under the Scaligeri, 14th-century Verona had a golden age before the lords were deposed in 1387. The Scaligeri era left an indelible mark on Verona, with many of the city’s landmarks built during their rule. One of these is the Arche Scaligere, a monumental……

Nola's Iris Garden in San Jose, California

February 11, 2022

In the hills above San Jose, amongst twisty roads and the occasional grazing cow, a magnificent flower garden blooms every spring. Nola’s Iris Garden is a gorgeous place to visit while out on a drive, with a whole parking lot set up for visitors to gawk at gorgeous ruffled flowers in every color from brown to tangerine. But while it’s open to the public during the bloom, the garden is actually more of a working farm, where the owners……

ClassPass makes health and fitness more accessible

February 11, 2022

Are you a Pilates person or a cycling person? Maybe you’re a HIIT person who’s convinced themselves they’re only interested in dance. Maybe you like to mix it up throughout the week. Maybe you simply don’t know yet. It’s hard to predict what kind of workout or wellness class will work best for you on any given day. Many conventional memberships or studios also require commitments that can be daunting if you’re still figuring out what your ideal fitness……
