Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A homecoming 14 years in the making. A familiar name in a new place. Introducing a kunsthalle . East, west and middle. A trio of notable museum openings across the country are bringing more art to more people. Homecoming You’d be forgiven for not including Iowa City, IA on a shortlist of art hotspots around the U.S. The home of the University of Iowa, however, has a prominent arts program at the school –Grant Wood taught there and Elizabeth Catlett was an early graduate–along with one of the finest college art museums anywhere. Again. Finally. Cataclysmic flooding in 2008 inundated the museum’s previous building, forcing the sudden evacuation of priceless works from the permanent collection. This included, arguably, the most important painting in American Modern art: Jackson Pollock’s Mural. Commissioned by Peggy Guggenheim for her New York City home in 1943, Mural stretches 8-by-20-feet, every … [Read more...] about New Art Museums For D.C., Iowa City And San Francisco Open This Fall

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It can seem as if most of our waking hours are spent staring at one screen or another, as consumer electronics of varying sizes have crept from our living room walls into our pockets. The number of devices we use regularly has increased significantly, as has our time spent on them for work, e-commerce, social media, fitness training, gaming activities, education, and so on. Remote and hybrid work, in particular, has made adults even more aware of accumulated screen time and the potential worries over more and more exposure to blue light. Studies have shown that long-term blue light exposure can cause harm to eye tissue and impact sleep patterns. In response to the growing concerns over blue light exposure, leading screen manufacturers are using a new rating system, similar to the SPF rating on sunscreen, that's designed to establish standards for measuring blue light and color performance of screens. By adopting the … [Read more...] about Worries Over Blue Light Exposure Lead To New Safety Ratings For Screens

Byju's founder Byju Raveendran It has been a difficult year for India’s most valuable startup. Once the poster child of the edtech sector, Byju’s has been drawing ire on multiple fronts. Questions around its aggressive sales practices have resurfaced, stakeholders got spooked because of a yearlong delay in filing its FY21 annual report, a large number of layoffs happened and its fundraising engine was reported to be sputtering. “The last 6 months have been really tough and humbling... It can’t be tougher than this. And if this can’t break us, I can tell you nothing else will,” Byju Raveendran, founder of the eponymous $23-billion company, told Moneycontrol over a Zoom interview. While he was quick to counter misgivings about the company’s accounting practices, its funding troubles and sales machinery, the teacher-turned-entrepreneur maintained a constant smile. He complained about the company’s actions being misunderstood. Byju’s has declared a revenue contraction … [Read more...] about ‘If this didn’t break us, nothing will’: Byju Raveendran opens up about troubles of last six months

With the recent openings of “The Children” and “Dry Land,” area theaters continue to launch their seasons on a high note — or, depending on how you look at it, a culturally attuned “low” note, one befitting their creative mandate. The Arvada Center is leading the way with Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods” (through Oct. 9). Curious provokes with “Heroes of the Fourth Turning,” Will Arbery’s big, chilling reunion of the alum of a fictional Catholic college (through Oct. 15). The Denver Center’s theater company introduces audiences to playwright Lloyd Suh, staging the historically smart and smarting “The Chinese Lady,” about the first female immigrant to the United States (through Oct. 16). Each production sparkles, sparks or both. Even Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical about wishes, fairytales and growing up imparts plenty of lessons (but they’re so delightful you may forgive their sting). Now. two new regional premieres are strutting their theaters’ ambitions. If you see them … [Read more...] about In two fiercely acted regional theater premieres, the kids are anything but all right

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) ASSOCIATED PRESS While reading Steven Hayward’s thoroughly excellent two book history of Ronald Reagan ( The Age of Reagan ), I found myself becoming exhausted at times. Not in a bad way. What it came down to was that Hayward’s research was so incredibly exhaustive . On one page he would be discussing a weapons system in detail, on the next he would be talking about a judicial appointment, the next would be about the intricacies of a tax bill. I was exhausted because I couldn’t imagine how Hayward did what he did. He’s told me that he loves research. Simple as that, I suppose. In his Age of Reagan books, Hayward regularly quoted the great George Will. Why wouldn’t he have? If the purpose is to chronicle the age … [Read more...] about Books: George Will’s Spectacular ‘The Conservative Sensibility’

- A + A KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 30): The Sulu sultanate heirs’ intention to enforce a questionable award in the Dutch courts against Malaysia’s assets in the Netherlands would be an abuse of any court process, said de facto law minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

- A + A LONDON (Sept 30): The crisis of confidence in UK assets is running so deep that the country is close to losing its crown of Europe's biggest equity market. This year's decline in London stocks has reduced the combined market capitalisation of companies with a primary UK listing to within touching distance of its nearest challenger, Paris. At the equivalent of US$2.5 trillion (RM11.57 trillion), the gap between them is only US$156 billion, close to the lowest on record, according to an index compiled by Bloomberg . The differential between the UK and French markets has been gradually eroding since Britons voted to leave the European Union in 2016. But the unprecedented market turmoil unleashed in the past week by Prime Minister Liz Truss' unfunded tax cuts has dealt a crucial blow, damaging economic confidence, and sending the pound to a record low.
