Santuário de Santa Luzia in Viana do...

June 21, 2021

There are many good reasons to visit Viana’s eucalyptus-clad hill. The location offers an amazing view down the coast and up the Lima valley, along with a tram ride up the mountain. However, perhaps the most important feature of the hill is the 20th-century, neo-Byzantine Santuário de Santa Luzia. The temple honors Santa Luzia (Saint Lucy), the Patron Saint of Sight. The people of Viana still climb to the top on Sundays closest to the date of the Sacred……

June 21, 2021

Alaudin Ullah has spent more than 20 years collecting untold or overlooked stories of the earliest South Asian immigrants to America, their Black and Hispanic wives, and their descendants, particularly in New York. It’s a research project, but also a personal one: The project has been a way for him to understand his own story, too—and his father’s. Ullah’s dad, a Bengali sailor named Habib Ullah, moved to America in 1924. He didn’t speak much English and couldn’t read……

| Entrepreneurship

NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets had all the shooting and scoring any team could ever want. They just didn’t have the health that every team needs. Kevin Durant was spectacular in his first postseason in Brooklyn, but by the end of it a Big Three was down to 1 1/2. Kyrie Irving was on the bench and James Harden probably should have been. That’s the way it often went for Brooklyn after putting together its three superstars….

MUNICH (AP) — No one told Germany winger Robin Gosens the etiquette for receiving a “star of the match” trophy at the European Championship. “Should I take that thing with me or what?” he asked after being singled out for his performance in the 4-2 victory over defending champion Portugal on Saturday. Gosens was still trying to come to terms with what happened after helping Germany turn its chances around at Euro 2020. “It’s gigantic, you can’t put it…

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Netherlands coach Frank de Boer has a difficult decision to make for his team’s final Group C match at the European Championship. “Do we want to keep the players in the rhythm and further refine the system, or should we rest some of the boys?” De Boer said. He hasn’t provided an answer yet. The Dutch are already guaranteed of first place in the group after two wins and North Macedonia has already been eliminated after…

| Entrepreneurship

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest’s polarizing presence has hung over Memphis since he moved here in 1852 — his legacy cemented by a giant statue that loomed over all who passed his gravesite in a popular park. Defenders considered him a hero for his Civil War exploits. Detractors called him a violent racist and noted his early leadership role in the Ku Klux Klan. Now the former slave trader’s remains are set to be moved…

Sculpture of Eugenia Martínez Vallejo in Avilés,...

June 18, 2021

One Sunday in 1674, Antonia de la Bodega and José Martínez Vallejo entered their church in the small village of Merindad de Montija to attend mass. Antonia was several months pregnant and began to experience contractions so suddenly that she had no choice but to give birth to her daughter Eugenia inside the church. A church birth was so unusual that it was seen as a sign—this child would live an extraordinary life. But no one would have expected……
